Bitcoin Client Software and Version Number: bitcoin wallet on android, ver 5.31, source code https://github.com/bitcoin-wallet/bitcoin-wallet (sorry idk if that's helpful)
Operating System: wallet is on my Samsung galaxy s7 edge
System Hardware Specs: n/a
Description of Problem: i lost my spending pin sonehow and ran btc recover for 4-7 character pins (all numerical btw) to no avail. I'm guessing my pin is 8 digits or higher (I'm betting on 8 ) and I am having no luck finding help from even the wallet recovery services people who charge 20% of your total wallet. if anyone can help me I will reimburse you, I realize this is time consuming. thank you.

Limited in number. Limitless in potential.

If you're only talking about your pin for the login purposes in androids, maybe you save some recovery details of this wallet like private keys and recovery seed which is composed of 12 or 15 words and sometimes 24-word I guess, don't exactly the numbers. Or some file that you have to save for the recovery purposes. Do you have it right? if none, then I dunno if you can recover this funds on your wallet since those words and recovery seeds are the only way to recover your wallet and your funds of course.

Have you solved your problem? If not, you could try using btcrecover, I've seen issues before like yours solved by this, though I haven't tried it myself. Here is the link from github https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover also the tutorial on how to use it https://github.com/gurnec/btcrecover/blob/master/TUTORIAL.md

That is a long tutorial, but you can select the one for Bitcoin Wallet after reading the Quick Start part. I hope it works for you, good luck!
