I too am having the exact problem she described. However nothing was posted about what to do to resolve this issue. Since it has already been brought to TL's attention, I wondered if they ever resolved it (or IF they resolved it, since it's 3 months later & I'm having the same problem!).
I am an Android user on a Samsung Stratosphere phone, and I am running Jewel Mania version 1.1.9.9g. My Jewel Support ID is K5D98X7.
The other problems I've also been having in Jewel Mania are that when I try to get onto the game, it usually takes 15-20 tries before it actually loads without crashing or freezing on me. Then when it's loading, it almost always takes 5+ minutes before all the green loading bars across the levels finally disappear and I can get into the section I was on last. And in the rare occasion when I can get the game started, about half of the time the game crashes mid-level on me as I was attempting to play the board, despite the "scrambled snakes" effect mentioned above that prevents me from seeing the snakes by either blanking them out or covering those squares with a random colored box of 4 mini jewels instead (and the color NEVER corresponds to the snake). So without being able to see the snake's colors, I can't match them to jewels to destroy them, preventing me from being able to disable the ticking time bomb (also blanked out or covered in 4 mini jewels) thereby preventing me from being able to make any further progress in the game.
And if that wasn't enough, I also have been experiencing gold disappearances as well. The most recent example being I had just earned 30 gold for a new game version download, giving me a total of 31 gold at that time. I did not use any gold, buy any helps, or do anything that should have cost me gold, and yet for some reason the next time I managed to get onto the game, I only had 5 gold. This has been happening all along, and it has never made any sense since the disappearances always happen when I'm not actually on the game. It's almost always when I'm not even logged on.
I like this game, don't get me wrong, but it's just getting to be so frustrating that I can't even play any more since I can't see what I'm dealing with! Please help if you can.
Oh, and in case you need to know the steps I've taken to try and solve the problem on my own, I've restarted my phone many times during the problems, unintsalled & reinstalled Jewel Mania MANY times, making sure to move it to USB storage right away after downloading the newest version again, and cleared the cache too. I think I did all the usual things to try over & over to fix it, but now I'm at my wits end. Please help!
