Reasons why reviews might not appear for certain users on Play Store - google-play

For some users in the US, my play store reviews are not visible. I've reached out to Google directly and am out of options for support, so I've come here.
Here's the official response from Google:
Please note, since it's based on Google play algorithms, we are not
able to modify in the rating&review section's result manually. Also
please understand that, since we don't have any information about
algorithms, we are not able to further investigate and provide any
information about your question at this time. I apologize for any
inconvenience this may cause.
If you have any other Console related question, please let us know.
We'll be happy to help.
Thanks for supporting Goolge Play.
Very sadly they've given me a generic response about some "algorithm" and are refusing to look into the issue further.
Again, I know this isn't a "standard" question, but I'm not sure where else to go at this point. I feel like I'm at the end of my wits. Any help is appreciated!
What are some reasons why certain users in the US wouldn't be able to see any app reviews, but other users in the US can view these reviews? And is there any reasonable way to "debug" this issue?
Edit: at least one user reports that they are using a Samsung Galaxy phone

Sometimes it takes time for new reviews to show up on google. They also have an algo to check for reviews that might be from "fake users" similar to reddit it may take a while for it to show up entirely and pass their checks.
You have no control on what they show on their App Store reviews section.
One idea to debug is by checking via different android phones using different networks. You can also check the web version App Store link to see if it shows.

My App is in review or pending publication in google play store

Its my first experience to upload my app to google play store and I personally developed so I dont think so that I used any illegal thing it it but Its in review for last 2 days.
The process can take even more than that, what you can do is make sure that:
-you ask the proper permissions, more permissions you need, more time for the store to give you an answer. If you ask for dangerous permissions, you must explain clearly why you want them, else your app will be rejected.
you describe your app well and detailed. This will improve your chances for fast approval
have all the fields filled in properly, like agreement, pictures and videos of different sizes
don't forget about category and ads. If you have ads and chose that the app is available to kids, you can expect a much more detailed check of your app, which takes longer
check all the warning messages you have on the dashboard. Most of them are very useful info.
My advice is to take time to sort all these as best as you can and later you will enjoy fast approvals and easy updating.

College Athletics Logos in Google Search Results Not Showing Up

I really hope someone can help with this - we've spent a lot of time and money in an attempt to resolve with no success.
Tarleton State University is a DIV 1 (WAC) school and my team (Web Services) was recently tasked with investigating why our logo doesn't show up in Google search results (such as here: https://www.google.com/search?q=tarleton+state+football+schedule
You'll notice that opponents have THEIR logos appearing, however, we've been unable to affect these search results at all.
Things we've tried:
Updating schema information for each sports program: https://validator.schema.org/#url=https%3A%2F%2Ftarletonsports.com%2Fsports%2Ffootball
Claiming knowledge panels and trying to appeal to Google directly re: the results
Updating information on wikipedia/wikicommons accordingly.
....has anyone here encountered this issue and/or knows how to address this concern? I'm at my wits' end!
(thank you in advance for any and all advice!)

Detect and get dialled number in Android using Appcelerator

I am looking for a way to detect if the user is dialling a number that is 'like' a value in my database. I have got a REST api working to retrieve numbers for my application, just need a way to intercept and compare for Android in Appcelerator.
I have looked around but can't find a way to do this within Appcelerator, not sure where to start. I looked on a forum (https://archive.appcelerator.com/question/117852/detecting-phone-call-on-android) but no results.
Would this be an Android service and check in the background if a user is dialling? (http://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/api/Titanium.Android.Service) or is there a better way? Maybe I could use the Android intent functionality (http://docs.appcelerator.com/platform/latest/#!/guide/Android_Intent_Filters-section-43287610_AndroidIntentFilters-RespondtotheCallingActivity) or better still maybe there is a module for this. Had a look on their site, could only see one but it's a paid module(https://marketplace.appcelerator.com/apps/5672?restoreSearch=true#!overview). Not even sure if it works though.
Any help or point in the right direction is appreciated.

Google analytics tracking for Virtuemart in Joomla?

Can someone PLEASE help me to install or point me in the right direction to figure out google anaytics tracking within Virtuemart and Joomla!?!?!
I have the Artio plugin installed and it sends the most inconsistent data you could imagine. So much so that I can't seem to figure out where the problem is occurring. It will report a certain product purchase and then I will attempt to emulate the transaction and it sends nothing. It reports maybe 1 transaction out of 5 or more.
This isn't really the right site for this question, but since you asked, I use this -

How to program voice modem?

I'm looking into writing a small custom app for a small business that can utilize a voice modem on Windows to pick up a phone call and play a customized voice message based on time of call.
The API on Windows that controls modems is TAPI, but it seems complex and low level that I'm not sure I can complete the app in time.
Any higher level API or software component I can use to accomplish what I need?
Thx
I think you'll need to look at 3rd party libraries for this. A quick google search turned this one up (though I've never used it).
I'm not sure what programming language you need, but I found many projects that may have elements you are looking for on CodeProject.com and SourceForge.net. I could make suggestions from the sites, but perhaps it would be better to leave it to you, as you know what project would best meet your needs. Doing a search on TAPI or telephony gave a lot of results, but I didn’t seen an already made project doing what you described above.
I hope these suggestions help you make your deadline, good luck.
