Can no longer view or control my android phone w/quicksupport

Moto X4; 

Quicksupport worked just fine about 6 months ago, which at the time was android 8

I had recently deleted and reinstalled QS. No good. The phone is now Android 9 / Pie.

When the dialog about special access permissions appears, touching "open settings" nothing happens and QS just waits for connection.

The remote side can connect (chat works, as does request screenshot, apps, dashboard, etc) but cannot "see" the screen or remote control.

The remote control sceen just always says "connecting to x xxx xxx xxx..."

It feels like a permissions thing; but I don't see any other choices/ ?

    Hi, same here, once udated my Motorola One to Android P, I cannot make teamviewer work as before with Android 8.1

    It seems the new Android is missing the 'Special Access' option

    Hi all,

    When downloaded on the phone a pop up appears in the Quicksupport app to go to the settings to give the app extented permissions, but nothing happens. I can't find any possible setting to give the app extended permissions. So remote control is not possible.

    What could be the problem. ??

    Thanks in advance

    Same issue here. We switched from using the G6 to the G7 and we are no longer able to get Quicksupport working. The permissions don't seem to work the same way with Android 9.0

    Have the same problem when upgraded to Android Pie 9.0 on moto g6.

    Everything was working well before the upgrade and got used to the ease of use of teamviewer remote control to help my mother. Now I cannot use it at all after the upgrade. So anybody who is thinking of upgrading their moto phones to Android 9 and want to use TeamViewer, beware.

    Waiting for a quick resolution from either moto or teamviewer teams.

    Same issue here Motorola z3 Play, "TeamViewer quicksupport" and "TeamViewer Host" no longer work after the phone was updated to Android 9 pie.

    There's no button to allow & give the server special access

    I have the same issue with my Motorola G7 Play and Motorola One, both running Android 9.

    Once I click "Open Settings" to set the special permissions needed for the app, the popup briefly pops up and closes. All I can say is it's a white popup with the title "Host" or "QuickSupport". The popup title loads but the content never does, and the popup is closed immediately after it appears.

    Here's the logcat entries for the action, no exceptions thrown on logcat

    W ActivityThread: handleWindowVisibility: no activity for token android.os.BinderProxy@ac35f3e
    D SettingsActivity: Starting onCreate
    D SettingsActivity: Starting to set activity title

    Hope this information helps. Looking forward for a fix!

    Hi,

    I have the same problem with phones from Moto G6 to Moto G6 + and Moto G7 Power.

    We can have all the informations we need, but when it's about controlling the phone, it's impossivle due to these extended permissions.

    Hi,

    I can't get access to remote control on a Motorola One device with Android 9, I can't open the Activate Remote Control window to grant special access to the app. Can you help me to solve this problem?

    Thanks in advance, regards.

    Same issue on my moto g7 power with android pie. There is no way to grant special access. How soon will this be fixed? Thanks.

    Hi,

    The problem happens also on Samsung Galaxy J6.

    In my case, when I try to install the Teamviewer Quick Support Samsung Add-on, a message pops up saying that is not possible to install such app.

    As far as I can see, the last update happened on July 30th, 2015, so probably there is some incompatibility with the Android version I'm using (Android 9).

    It has been six weeks since AlenaC stated TV engineers were communicating with Motorola. An update for the Samsung add-on came out June 6th.

    When will other Android 9 phones start working properly?

    I have a Moto G6 that works fine on Android 8, but my G7 on Android 9 fails the permissions setting.

    I have the same problem!

    WHY is there no reaction by the TV-Support?
    4 Month and no solution?

    So this has been a problem since January, apparently no fix because as of 13th july, this is still an issue.

    @AlenaC Please can we all have an update as to the progress of this, I need to be able to remotely help my grandmother, who finds using a phone hard, but necessary to keep up with the modern world. We've had 2 months of silence, from a problem that was reported well over 6 months ago...

     

    Thanks.

    I bought my dad (who's in his 70s and has short-term memory problems due to a stroke) a Moto G7 Power and got him off his very old flip phone, only to find that I can't remote in and help him learn it. He's in Seattle and I'm in Phoenix. This needs to get fixed ASAP please.....

    I have the same phone as you, with the same scenario!

     

    One thing you may want to look at if you can have some access to the phone via relatives or friends who live nearby to him, is look at an app called Grand Launcher. It won't solve the remote control issue but once it's installed it turns the phone into a really simple to use device with huge buttons, big text, simple navigation and most importantly it's very hard to get it wrong and end up in a menu he doesn't understand.

     

    @AlenaC Please can we have an update. Clearly lots of people are having this issue and we have complete radio silence from you.
