[General Questions and Answers] SilentStrider:
Go to recovery and do wipe dalvik and wipe cache and do a factory reset, if doesn't work first time out keep trying!

Alternative! You could use odin to flash your rom, go to www.sammobile.com and make sure you download the proper rom for your device, and by that you have to take in to account three factors, your region, your phone vendor (e.c AT&T, Sprint, or the ones local to your country), and finally your build number (this is the most important if you flash wrong build version you gonna end up with a hard breaked device).

Can you get in to recovery/download mode? Or have you even tried reflashing your rom in to your device?

In google play market are apps that you can use to deny permissions to apps do a search there...

But I can't tell you what permissions you should block, but you could go a trial and error and figure it out your self!

Most possibly you have uninstalled some system app that is required by the Google play store...

Revert back all of them and see if that fixes your issue.

Do you use TB or Romtool box to uninstall those system apps?

Or after doing that have you cleared the dalvik and cash in your phone or have you attempted to fix permissions?

Because your phone is a clone....that doesn't implies that the hardware is the same....so that means the process wouldn't work as it should in the original device....the cable bridges that gap sort of speak!

You should also try chinese android forums there you would probably find more people moding and rooting cloned devices!

Good luck!

Hi Dean from USA that lives in China!

Before I attempt to shine some light to your questions let me tell you that I can understand that you are frustrated and want answers straight away but patience is a virtue.

The Tech guys as you call them are most often busy....moding and developing stuff.....in this site most of the time we get our questions answered by other members some are new, some are veterans sort of speak, and some are simply legends, eventually someone will come forth and give you the information you need! Respect the rules!

Now to answer your questions, in the best way I can!

This could be modem related issue or simply bad quality in reception. But for the issue with the WeChat app might be a bug in the app. Have you tried to use a similar app and see how that app responds to signal connection? Also maybe your sim card is outdated it is recommended to to check that out with your phone carrier vendor and see if they can troubleshoot your connectivity issues.

Android OS it isn't iOS that said certain things work in a different way, so get used to it! Now about notifications on your screen lock it is possible by using a 3rd party lock screen or if an app has implement lock screen support like some music players do! All this you could find in the Google play stare. As for the red bubble if you use a 3rd party home launcher make sure to check if that luncher had an add on app that handles the system notifications!

Try to use an equalizer app, or use a music player that has it.... Android or samsung has implemented that loudness is limited to prevent people from getting ear related injuries from accidentally firing up the music player while it is set to high volume. You are prompted to increase the loudness after a certain level.

Epilogue:

TRY TO REMEMBER ANDROID ISN'T iOS!
