Retired: User Solutions: Brave Release 1.38.x Content

This post tries to consolidate solutions, workarounds and possible solutions across categories each major release. Minor updates and fixes released will be included. After each major release, I will just copy/paste anything that is still relevant from the older version post into the new one.

Anyone with a new solution or workaround, please post it in a reply to this topic! The help will be greatly appreciated by anyone experiencing the issue, I’m sure.

Anyone with an issue that needs a solution, please post in the appropriate category and not here.

PAYOUTS: Brave Ads Payout status

For community members still experiencing payout issues after May payouts completed:

Gemini Verified Rewards
Haven't received rewards in the past two months, March and April - #3 by Mattches

Uphold Verified Rewards
I have not received in my Brave Ads Payout to my Verified Uphold wallet - #15 by Mattches

Unverified Rewards (Ignore “Android” reference in title and "Uphold reference in content)
No claim button appeared in one of my browser (Android) - #3 by Mattches

FYI: Unreconciled Ads & Claim Button Payout Amounts

Why everytime only half of my BAT are eligible for transfer - #8 by Mattches

FYI: Rewards Payouts for “Claimed” Rewards:
Getting less BAT since last two months - #5 by Aman_M

@Aman_M

Payout through claims are processed in multiple of 0.25 BAT, so your payout amount will be rounded-off.

For eg. If your payout amount is 1.10 BAT you may get 1 BAT in claim and if your payout is 1.20 BAT, you may get 1.25 BAT in claim (multiple of 0.25). Hope it clarifies.

If you verify with Uphold (Gemini also gets a claim button), you will get your exact reconciled payout by direct-deposit.

ISSUE: [ANROID] Verified Uphold Account Disconnected/"Something Went Wrong"

Cannot Connect Brave Rewards with Uphold Account
Workaround

I Found a Solution on Android Phone to Verify Rewards Wallet
Workaround with screenshots.

Other Reasons You May be Receiving this Error

If you have never received a payout to your Uphold account, these are some of the things you can check. Before you start, make sure you are updated to the latest Brave version and the OS of the device you are using is updated to the latest version.

1. Clear history/cache, exit Brave, and reopen. This works for some users.
2. Does your device pass the SafetyNet check. You will not be able to claim rewards if your device fails the SafetyNet check.
3. Make sure your account is verified at Uphold. Go to your profile page and there should be a verified date at the bottom.
   
   Example: Screenshot of a Verified Profile at Uphold
   Can’t verify and authorize the wallet, can’t connect Brave to Uphold - #2 by Impoiler
4. Make sure all your personal information in your Uphold account is accurate and complete. For example, Uphold will verify your account with an incomplete address, but Brave needs your full address, including street number, street, city, etc.
5. Make sure you are in a Brave Supported Country. Supported countries are listed at the bottom of the Transparency page. Note: Only creator contributions are supported in the Philippines.
6. Make sure you are not in an Uphold Non-Supported Jurisdiction.
   
   Note About Supported Countries/Regions/Jurisdictions
   From time to time supported countries and regions may change. If you are in a non-supported area, you will not be able to verify or reconnect to a custodial account provider. You may have earnings in Brave Rewards but you will not be able to transfer them to a custodial account.

ANNOYANCE ISSUES: Issues that create extreme irritation in some (many) users. The issue may be related to a change in functionality or something that, although it may be working as intended, is not working as the user wanted or that is actually broke but does not interfere with Brave functionality in general. Grrrrr issues in other words.

• ISSUE: Shields Blocked Scripts “Allow Specific Scripts” Option

  Workaround: Enable brave-shields-v1 in brave://flags
  Give us back the "allow specific script" option on Websites - #3 by Mattches

  Unable to delete cookie for gmail via Clear On Exit #9085
  Cannot delete sites from “Sites that can always use cookies” #12375

  Canowyrms commented Feb 19, 2022
  My solution was to:

  1. Leave the sync chain.
  2. Clear ALL browsing data - absolutely everything, even under the ‘advanced’ tab.
  3. Exit Brave and wait a few seconds (ensure all processes shut down).
  4. Open Brave and check the “Sites that can always use cookies” section to confirm it was empty (it was).
  5. Start a new sync chain.
  6. Went back to the cookies section and confirmed the entries didn’t come back from the grave.
  7. Copy the sync chain code into password manager like BitWarden for when I need to update my other devices.

• ISSUE: [Android] Stacked View

  Workaround: None

Try This: Community Member Solutions and Workarounds

Overview & Warnings

Please note, many of these are specific solutions to specific issues provided by community members and may not work for everyone. Many others are known fixes and will work for anyone having the issue. Please, just be cautious if you try these and proceed at your own risk especially if you are adjusting system settings and not just Brave Browser settings!

Before you begin, always make sure you are updated to the latest Brave version and always backup the Brave Browser data folder preferably on an external device. You should copy the entire folder. You can restore the backup folder in the same location later if needed. You should also have a current system backup/restore point, especially if you will be changing any system settings or system config settings.

In many cases, these solutions or workarounds have been posted by several different people over time. I just picked up the one I ran across first and tried to use posts with screenshots. No disrespect intended to users who may have posted earlier. Also, if you have a post for this section (even if it is a duplicate) that provides additional information, please feel free to post it here or in a reply to this topic!

Edit Conflicts
An “edit conflict” notice will pop up if someone else is editing the post at the same time. You could potentially overwrite the other persons edit (or they could overwrite yours) if you save your edit during an “edit conflict” scenario. Instead of saving your edit, just cancel the edit and save it as a Draft and post it later when there is no conflict. Just make sure any new edits are displayed in the preview pane of your Draft when you pull it back up.

If new edits are not showing in your draft. Copy the information saved in your draft post, discard the draft, and click to edit the post again. Then paste the information you copied into the new edit.

Editing Plugin
There is a plugin that allows shared editing but I do not know if it is available for Brave wiki posts. Just to be on the safe side, don’t post your edit until the conflict is resolved (no one else is editing topic, just you). Apparently there is a “tell” that indicates if the plugin is enabled or not. I will try to find out more and let you know.

A topic by a community member (@Saoiray) pinned in the Rewards Support category. Consolidates much of the information from various other information sources in one place. Pulls information from sites like the Help Center, Brave GitHub, Reddit (BATProject & Brave_Browser), and pinned topics in Community Categories, and even Search results.

Search is a great tool to locate previous topics (and solutions) related to a particular issue. Use it before you post! This community is more of a DYOR (do your own research) community than anything. You can post a one-liner topic or just “Help me!” but you are unlikely to get a response either from a community member or support staff. Ditto for “me too” replies in posted topics.

In conclusion, the PSA: FAQ topic can help you troubleshoot issues you may have before posting a topic. Several of the solutions in this post are already addressed in the PSA: FAQ topic too. Highly recommend you browse that topic just as a general information resource and definitely look it over before you post to see if it addresses your specific issue.

Apparently, this issue is fixed in Brave Nightly, so in the next versions of Brave on Android, it should allow you to verify even if you have the Uphold app installed.

Recent Workaround: Different from those previously posted. Looks like maybe an Uphold fix? Will update if I find out anything else.

Update: This was the only instance of this workaround that I could find. Retiring this workaround since it appears it is not widely known or used. If this workaround becomes active, I will open it back up as an alternative.

Retired: Receiving Less BAT than Earned (April 2022 Payout)

Although some users are still experiencing issues, the majority of users did receive April payouts. Support staff are still addressing April payout issues on a case-by-case basis. For now, wait until May processing is complete (red dot on Ads Payout status), then resubmit your original DM with an update. If you do not have an open DM in the queue, then create a DM to the moderators and include your wallet payment id. Never post your wallet id.

Please, after you DM support staff, do not continually tag/DM them asking for an update. That just slows down the process. Wait at least a week before you resend your DM again asking for an update. This also applies to any support topics you may have created.

ISSUE: Device Limit Reached

Additional Information

Device limits will be removed in a future release. Anticipated release date is April/May but that is not confirmed. Until that time, use the “Wallet Unlinking Request” post to unlink one device. Your unlinking request is placed in a queue and Brave staff work on requests in the order received. It may take several days, weeks, or even months for your request to be fulfilled. You will receive an email notification when it is.

From previous posts, it appears the most frequent reason that a request is not fulfilled is because the form was filled out incorrectly. Just make sure you submit the form correctly the first time. If unsure about an entry, ask for clarification via a community post. Hopefully, someone will respond.

Below is a link to a recent post with a screenshot of an email from Brave support per incorrect information submitted. It looks like they do provide instructions on locating the correct information (although it is not displayed) so that’s helpful! Also, the email has an April release date for removing linking limits completely. I hope that one isn’t delayed.

Every detail you can provide about your issue helps Brave Support. The more detail you provide the less time support staff have to spend requesting additional information which in turn gives them more time to consider your issue and situation!

Brave Support prefers you use their Report Templates (see below). You are more likely to receive help from both community members and support staff if you submit a detailed support request using one of the templates.

Support Templates Reference

Categories with their related subcategories are displayed on the left hand side of the page. If you hover over a category (or subcategory), a short description of the category will display.
2. Read the “About Category” topic if one is pinned. Not all Categories/Subcategories have a pinned “About” topic but if it does, you should read it. Also, do a Search of the category to see if you can find topics with solutions related to your issue.
3. Click the +New Topic button displayed in the top right of the page in the category your selected to start creating your topic (post).
   
4. The editor opens once + New Topic is clicked.

How do I submit a bug report?

How to create a Bug Report posted by @289wk

Note: @289wk provided instructions per creating a topic from the main page of community.brave.com. You can do this, especially if you are an experienced user and any instructions/templates related to the category will still be available.

The instructions I provided have the user enter the category to create a topic. I think it is more beneficial for new users to actually enter the category/subcategory so they will have access to pinned topics and issue specific topics if they decide to do a search of topics. New users can do this from the main page, but I think it is more confusing to a new user to do. Please provide feedback. We can always do an edit!

I am constantly copying information from this topic to posts I make in other topics. I basically leave this topic open as a resource. Saves soooo much time not only typing but using search as well. Are other community members doing the same? Are you using this as a resource to help other community members? Just curious if this is helping others as much as it is helping me! lol
