Tile adhesive

We layed tile on a concrete floor. The tiles did not adhere to the concrete. The same adhesive was used on a early project that was completed fine, the floor was cleaned, we waited the proper time. What could be the problem?

Wall and Flooring Indoor Tiling

can i paint over a wall that was previously tiled?

I'm planning on remodeling my bathroom. Currently, the 8.5' foot wall is tiled from the floor for approximately 6.5' feet. I'm replacing the tile but would only like to retile 4.5' of the wall. However, I'm afraid that I won't be able to paint over the area that was previously tiled due to glue and grout. Can I sand the wall to make it smooth or will I need to rip the drywall out and replace it first. If anyone has knowledge/experience with this, please advise. Thanks
