    I recently get the following errors in the PlayStore console:

    This seems to happen when the service gets started in the background which handles weather data updates. The strange thing is:
    This happens ONLY on Samsung devices with Android 5.0.

    I searched for this problem but didn't find anything about it.

    Somebody here have the same errors? Unfortunately I don't have a Samsung device but I will just add the permission to the manifest and hopefully this error will go away.

    Yes, seems so. Samsung again. :mad:

    I will have to add this permission to the app because of their crappy implementation. :(
