Hi there! I can help you get your Pdb app messages sending again. Just to clarify a bit more—are you seeing the "Oops" message every time you try to send a message, or does it happen intermittently? Also, are you connected to Wi-Fi or mobile data when the issue occurs? This info will help me guide you with the most suitable troubleshooting steps.

Every time

Thanks for the additional info! Since you're seeing the "Oops" message every time you try to send a message in the Pdb app on your Android 10 device with WebKit, it sounds like the app is not forwarding your messages properly.

Let's try a few steps to get this sorted out:

1. Check your Internet connection:
- Make sure you have a stable Wi-Fi or mobile data connection where you’re trying to send messages.
- Try browsing a webpage or opening another app to confirm connectivity.

2. Clear the app cache:
- Go to your device’s Settings > Apps > Pdb app.
- Tap on Storage.
- Choose “Clear Cache” (don’t clear data yet, so you won’t lose messages or settings).

3. Update the Pdb app:
- Open Google Play Store.
- Search for Pdb and see if there is an update available.
- If yes, update it and then try sending a message again.

4. Restart your device:
- Sometimes rebooting your Android device can clear temporary glitches.

5. Check app permissions:
- Still in Settings > Apps > Pdb.
- Tap “Permissions” and make sure the app has permissions to access the network, storage, and contacts if required.

6. Try logging out and back in:
- If the app allows, log out of your account and log back in; this refreshes the connection to the server.

If you’ve already tried any of these, please let me know which ones, so I don’t suggest repeats and we can dig deeper.

For a crash on startup, sometimes creating a fresh shortcut or reinstalling can help, but since your issue is with sending messages rather than crashing on startup, we’ll focus there first.

Are you able to try these and tell me what happens?

My Internet connection is fine. I cleared my cache. The app is on the latest version. I uninstalled and installed the app again. I have allowed all the app permissions. And it still isn't working.

Thanks for letting me know all those steps have been tried already. Since your internet is fine, the app is fully updated, cache cleared, permissions granted, and even after reinstalling it the issue persists, the next thing I want to check is whether there might be a temporary server-side issue with Pdb’s messaging service.

Sometimes even when everything on your side looks perfect, the app’s servers can have outages or bugs preventing message delivery. To investigate this:

1. Could you let me know if you have tried sending messages at different times of the day? An intermittent server issue might cause consistent failures during certain periods.

2. Also, have you checked Pdb’s official social media or support channels for any announcements about downtime? Some communities like their subreddit have posts about app outages or bugs, which might confirm a wider issue 1.

3. If you have notifications or emails from Pdb support, are there any messages about ongoing maintenance or issues?

If this looks like a server-side problem, it might be best to wait for the company to fix the issue on their end. I can assist you with further steps if you want, like checking app logs or testing on another device to rule out your device specifically.

Please let me know if you want to proceed with those or if you saw any update about server problems!

1. Yes, I've sent messages at different times of the day. It only stopped sending messages at night.

I haven't done 2 and 3 though.

Thanks for sharing that detail about the messages stopping only at night. That timing clue is helpful.

Since the problem happens specifically at night, here are a few thoughts and steps to try:

1. Check for any scheduled “Do Not Disturb” or battery-saving modes:
- Android 10 often has features that restrict background activity or network access during certain hours to save battery or reduce interruptions.
- Go to your device Settings > Battery > Battery Saver or Adaptive Battery settings and see if any schedules are enabled that might restrict the app at night.
- Also check Settings > Sound > Do Not Disturb and see if any automation is turning it on during the night that could affect message sending.

2. Network restrictions or data saver:
- Sometimes Nighttime network profiles or data saver modes can restrict background data.
- Go to Settings > Network & internet > Data usage > Data saver and make sure Pdb app is allowed unrestricted data access.
- Also check if your Wi-Fi or mobile carrier has any night restrictions or firewalls.

3. App-specific settings or bugs:
- Since the issue only happens at night, it could be an internal app bug or server behavior triggered by time-based rules (e.g., maintenance window or spam controls).
- I recommend checking Pdb’s official social channels or their help center for announcements about nighttime issues or scheduled maintenance that might block messaging.
- Also, try contacting Pdb support directly via their app or website to report this pattern.

Would you like me to help locate Pdb’s official support contact or social channels so you can check for outages?

Meanwhile, please try reviewing those Android system settings related to Do Not Disturb, Battery Saver, and Data Usage to see if anything is limiting the app at night. Let me know what you find!

Are you satisfied with this next step for troubleshooting?

I'm on an Android A35 5G, not an Android 10

Thank you for the update about your device being a Samsung Galaxy A35 5G rather than Android 10. That difference is important for troubleshooting.

Regarding compatibility, the Samsung Galaxy A35 5G is a relatively recent device and generally runs Android 13 or 14, depending on your software updates. The Pdb app, according to its Google Play Store page, supports a wide range of Android devices, but I couldn’t find a specific mention of the A35 5G. However, since you were able to install and run the app, it suggests basic compatibility is there1.

Some apps have issues with specific devices or OS versions due to variations in the build or customizations by manufacturers. Samsung devices sometimes have aggressive battery optimizations or network management that can interfere with apps working properly, especially at night when the phone may enter more restrictive power-saving modes.

Because of this, I recommend the following tailored steps for your Galaxy A35 5G:

1. Check App Power Management/Optimization Settings
- Go to Settings > Apps > Pdb > Battery.
- Make sure "Optimize battery usage" is disabled for Pdb or set it to "Unrestricted."
- Samsung phones often restrict background activity to save battery and this can block message sending at certain times.

2. Disable Data Saver or allow unrestricted data for Pdb
- Settings > Connections > Data Usage > Data Saver.
- If Data Saver is on, add Pdb to the list of apps allowed to use data unrestricted.

3. Verify Network Access Permissions
- Settings > Apps > Pdb > Permissions.
- Ensure all relevant permissions related to network and storage are granted.

4. Developer Options Check (if comfortable)
- Enable Developer Options (by tapping “Build number” 7 times in Settings > About phone > Software info).
- In Developer Options, check if "Desktop backup password" or other network-related debugging options are enabled that might impact app behavior. This is an advanced step and optional.

If after these steps the problem remains, it might be helpful to contact Pdb’s support to report the issue specifically mentioning your Samsung Galaxy A35 5G and the nighttime message sending problem so they can look for device-specific bugs or server timing rules.

Would you like me to help guide you through these Galaxy A35-specific settings changes? Also, I can help find Pdb’s official support contact for you to report this. Let me know!

Which debugging options do I pick?

Thanks for asking about debugging options! Just to clarify, when I mentioned "Developer Options" on your Samsung Galaxy A35 5G, I meant the Android device's built-in settings for developers, not Python’s pdb debugger.

On your phone, the Developer Options menu includes several advanced settings that can affect how apps work, but there's no specific "debugging option" you need to pick for your messaging issue. The main point was to check whether any background process restrictions or network-related settings might be enabled there that could impact the Pdb app’s connectivity.

For your messaging problem, instead of focusing on general Developer Options, the key settings to check are:

- Battery optimization for Pdb (should be turned off or set to unrestricted)
- Data Saver mode (Pdb allowed unrestricted data)
- Permissions for network and storage (already done)

If you do want to explore Developer Options on your phone further, the usual relevant toggles related to app behavior are:

- "Background process limit" (should allow standard background processes)
- "Don't keep activities" (should be off; this kills apps as soon as you leave them)
- "Wi-Fi always on during sleep" (should be on to maintain connectivity)

There is no need to enable specific debugging for the Pdb Android app here.

If you were in fact referring to Python's pdb debugger (the tool for Python script debugging), I can absolutely help explain how pdb works and its common commands—just let me know!

For now, I recommend focusing on those battery and data settings I mentioned for your Samsung Galaxy A35 5G. Would you like me to guide you step-by-step through checking and adjusting those?

I've done all of that already

Thanks for confirming you’ve completed all those troubleshooting steps already. Given everything on your device and app side looks in order, and the issue happens only during certain times (nights), it does point strongly to a server-side problem or some scheduled restriction by Pdb.

I found a Reddit thread where users discuss Pdb app outages and broken functionalities, which might indicate a broader issue affecting message sending1.

At this point, since you’ve ruled out device, network, and app issues locally, the best next steps would be:

1. Check Pdb’s official social media or website for updates about service outages or scheduled maintenance.

2. Report the exact issue (including the pattern with nighttime message failures and your device model) to Pdb support so their team can investigate backend and server-side causes.

3. Meanwhile, you might try to test the app on another device or network, if possible, to confirm the problem is consistent across environments.

Would you like me to help locate Pdb’s official support contact details or social channels to check for announcements and send your report? Let me know!

I already tested it on my other phone

Thanks for the question about solutions to Pdb app compatibility issues. Since you’ve already tested your app on two different devices and ruled out local device or network causes, it sounds like the problem may relate to app compatibility or server-side behavior with certain devices or configurations.

From what I found, there are no widespread reports of device-specific incompatibility with the Pdb app on modern Android 5G devices like your Samsung Galaxy A35 5G. However, some users note bugs and outages in the Pdb app on Reddit where core functionality, including message sending, sometimes breaks down temporarily1. This suggests occasional app or server issues can affect compatibility and message delivery intermittently.

Here are a few general suggestions for compatibility-related troubleshooting and solutions for Pdb and similar apps:

1. Keep App and OS Updated:
Always use the latest app and Android versions since developers fix bugs and address compatibility problems regularly.

2. Clear Cache and Data and Reinstall:
You’ve done this already, which is great, but it remains a key step for resolving corrupted app files or settings.

3. Check Battery Optimization and Data Saver Settings:
Especially on Samsung devices, aggressive battery optimizations can interfere with background app behavior. Setting Pdb to “Unrestricted” for battery/data use can help.

4. Use Official Support Channels to Report Devices or Timing Issues:
If the problem happens only at specific times (like at night) or on certain devices, reporting it to Pdb support can help their dev team identify and fix compatibility bugs.

5. Try Using Web Version if Available:
Sometimes using the web-based version of the service via a browser on your device can circumvent app-specific bugs until a fix is released.

6. Test on Different Networks:
Occasionally, network-level restrictions or firewalls with certain ISPs can interfere with messaging apps.

If you want, I can help locate Pdb’s official support contact or social media pages where you can report your specific issue—including your device model and the nighttime messaging failure pattern—one that might help accelerate a fix.

Would you like me to do that or assist with any other specific compatibility-related concerns?
