All of the sudden a camera app I've never seen before or installed shows up in my android app list.
I don't know what it is. It might have happened after installing DoubleTwist Alarm Clock. I'm afraid to open it since I think it might be malware. It has a purple icon.

Just got a notification on my Galaxy 10.1 tab: "Sign-in error for [URL]... - Touch to sign into your account".
Is it possible that this is malware spoofing the system? Any way for me to find out? I've run Avira and it says the tab's clean, and I also checked the running services, but I don't see anything out of the ordinary.
I'm wary because a few days ago I got a notification that my tablet had a virus *eyeroll* and when I tapped it it went to a 'download antivirus here' page which of course I didn't click on...
My mother has an Asus Transformer, and she's had it for awhile, but she doesn't use it for much other than getting e-mails or video chats. I turned it on today and it suddenly downloaded a bunch of files. Mahjong.exe, Bubble_Hit_brch.exe, 7-superfoods-to-boost-your-immunity.pdf, etc. Small files, less than 1MB per file. There were about a dozen files in her downloads folder, a few of which had "-1" after it so it had downloaded some of them twice now.
I've Googled the filenames, Google "downloading files at random", "downloading unwanted files", etc., etc. I installed three different virus scanners and they found nothing. I believe her when she says she doesn't download anything or install anything.

Its showing the same percentage use (48%) for Android system as well which I can expect but why all the use for the camera ?
Other use at the moment is 'Cell Standby' 2% and 'Phone Idle' 2%
Anyone else have this problem? I take a photo and its not there and takes opening and closing the gallery a few times. Sometimes I have to take another photo and then they both show up. Is this a bug with 2.1 or is there a fix for this?

I work weekends so I need to find an app that will only allow incoming calls from my boyfriends number and ALL unknown numbers.
I've been able to find apps to add people to "VIP" lists, but not one that also allows the silencing of my entire contact list and allows Unknown.

View 5 Replies View RelatedToday, one of my text message conversations showed an icon on the right hand side that I was unfamiliar with. It was right about the date/time stamp and looked like an x button. I was thinking maybe it meant the conversation had reached a limit because no matter how many additional texts I sent or received from this person, the number stayed the same (204). But when I restarted the phone, the icon had gone away and the number started increasing again.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen I get handed a new and previously unknown Android device (typically from a minor player), is there a way to figure out which components it is made of, such as the SoC, the flash chip, the RAM type etc. (Assuming noone else has posted the info of cause)?
In other words are there any tools (other than a screwdriver) for finding this out directly from the device, preferably without rooting (as some of this info may be needed to pick a rooting method...)?

The phone is Dual SIM, when i use local operator SIM, it say "Unknown type card" both, but there is signal bar show on menu bar. Also it can't connect to the internet, the APN list can't show local operator APN and ii can't be edited.
I did try to find some ROM (english ROM) but S696 seem to unpopuler model, so there is no ROM i could find.
Does upgrading ROM/firmware can make the SIM card works at my country?

I've never seen this process before today. My power went from 100 to 20% very quickly for some reason. When I checked the battery usage, whisperd was using 87%. I've never seen whisperd before, let alone have a process use that much of the battery. how to disable it?

It's my first smartphone (and touchscreen) Im not too familiar with any of the lingo that Im sure is needed to get my question answered, BUT...
My phone went through an update NOV 13th. When I woke up it was like having a new phone. Im comfortable with it now, but I dont really know what any of the icons that appear in my (text) message threads are.
I had a few red triangles with "!" exclamation points pop up. After some online research I found it to mean a message had not sent. I learned how to delete them and everything has been okay, no icons off to the side of message threads except the attachment paperclip. Until today. I was conversing back and forth with my dad via text. After I had sent my last message to him a blue box with a white 1 (one) in it came up next to the message thread. this box only appears when im in the message home screen, that shows all the message threads, not when that specific thread is open. Along with the box, at the top of the message screen, where it says "messages" with the "+" off to the right hand side there is a blue 1. Im sure its related to the blue box/white 1, considering it was not there prior.
I use my htc rezound as a business telephone line . 90 percent of the people calling me will not be on my contact list.

Any way to set up.just to. show me the callers phone numbers?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been out of the Android game for awhile now. My first smart phone was an HTC Inspire and after that I jumped to the iPhone 4S. Well now I decided to go back to Android and I picked up a Galaxy S5 since I was impressed with my wife's S3. Love the phone, but I have one question that I can't quite figure out.
The AT&T Galaxy S5 has 16GB of memory. The available memory is a little over 10GB due to all of the bloatware and OS files, of course. Well I went out and purchased a 64GB MicroSD card and expanded that bad boy greatly. I moved any apps that I can over to the SD card and all of my music is over there as well. Well, here is the problem.
Out of the 10+ gigs available on the device (not SD), I only have 4GB free and 7.5GB used. I should not have that much space being used AT ALL. If I look at the My Files app, the graph shows that I only have 2GB of app data and no documents, 4mb audio (the rest on SD), video, ect. I only have 33mb of photos. I should have no more than 2.4GB used total. What could possibly be taking up so much space?
What is the usage each of this processes and services running in background as below? They use about 61 M of my RAM!
As you see there are 5 services for GO SMS Pro! Why this services begin running after reboot? For google services also a service named android core apps begin running.
I can't get to recovery at all when i enter it i cant see the recovery but when i touch the screen it viberates and i thing i am pressing on the recovery stuff plus i cant root at all the adb says : unkown host service
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an mt6575 processor phone in which want to add Greek Language settings. I have downloaded a folder form the manufacture's site, but it didn't contain any instructions.
Just some .bin files (ALICE.BIN VIVA.bin, SANSTAR50_6464_11B_BOOTLOADER_V005_MT6250_MAUI_11B _W11_32_SP_V1.bin and ZIMAGE_ER.bin)and a scatter file that can not be read by flash tool (scatSANSTAR50_6464_11B.txt).
After a lot of reading around here and a lot of other forums and sites I realised that in order to do anything, I had to root my phone. I wasn't able to do it through superclick or mtk droid tools so I followed the instructions I found here: [URL] .....
However, I am stuck on the final step.. I can't seem to get my phone on cwm mode... In fact I am not sure I know what exactly this is. I manage to open my phone on the android recovery utility but I am not able to make any choice. Everytime I press some of the menu's choises an android robot with an exclamation mark fills the screen and nothing happens...
Anyway..even if I manage to finalize the rooting process.. I still don't know what to do with the files I have... should I use them somehow on flash tool?
By the way.. The files come with a tool called Multiport Download Flash Tool which looks like Sp flash tool but has too many port options.
My baseband version is showing unknown which means tht my phone presently has no imei num ,wifi mac address .... I tried all the methods posted on xda website to write the imei num but failed....
User "Kamal882" suggested that i should flash it with the official firmware ... Any link to the official firmware.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am attempting to pull an image from an unknown android device. I am running into a few issues:
When I attempt to pull the image by using the command in ADB : dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk1 of =/sdcard/boot.img I get the error write Error: File too large.
This happens when getting to the 4.0 GB mark, (assuming this is an issue with FAT32)
Is there an adb command to do a rom dump directly to my PC? Is there an application?
My Galaxy S3 is frequently getting into hotboot looping state for no apparent reason. The only way to get it out of this state is to wipe the phone or restore a backup of the "data" folder only. After that, it might work for a week, but it might not work for a day (not work = start to hotboot loop). It happens when after the phone screen is locked, it doesn't wake up anymore. It doesn't answers to any calls (like if it's off) or notifications.Forcing a reboot (by holding the power button) or removing the battery able me to reboot it, but enter in hotboot looping state. I can make it go thru the whole booting state and I see the homescreen (And that's weird because I'm supposed to see the lockscreen first). Some widgets animation works but the device doesn't answer to touch (two softbuttons vibrates when touched, they do vibrate but don't render anything on Android) and then hotboots. Keeps doing this forever. Booting into safemode USED to work, but it doesn't work anymore, I don't know why.
After wiping the device or restoring the Data backup, device turns on as expected (restoring data takes it back to working state exactly like it was before the backup, even the same lockscreen pattern). I've tried to leave a terminal running logcat to catch the error, but it doesn't write in realtime, so when the bug breaks out, the logfile is empty.
I even thought it could be the S3 memory issue with firmware, but I'm using the "fixed" kernels. Also, it is recoverable, and not permanently dead.
I suspect of some rogue app, but I have too many apps to just go through installing one by one (and waiting even weeks to install the other one). Is there any way I can get a postmortem logfile or make logcat write in realtime?
My Samsung Galaxy Ace (S5830) running under a custom ROM The Ultimatum (I've been using this custom firmware for a few weeks now, with no real problems up until now), is bootlooping with no apparent reason. On a rare occasion, most apps on the phone stopped responding and would crash upon opening, and would require a restart before they worked again. Well this happened to me a few hours ago, so I decided to reboot my phone. After coming back to check my phone, I had found it was still booting. This has gone on for several hours now, and I've tried turning it on and off, removing batteries and everything. It's stuck in boot loop. I found this was odd, as I have had no dramas with the firmware I've been using. I have not made ANY recent changes to the phone whatsoever, so I can hardly believe it would be my fault.
how do I fix this without wiping all data and installing a clean ROM? I have a lot of stuff in the internal storage I can't afford to lose, and it's really important to me.
I cannot open google play store on my phone. Each time I try to access play store for downloading apps I get a crash notification. Can it be repaired?; is it possible to download the playstation app from another source.

I used insecure boot and root trying to root my phone, which was a huge mistake as i noticed a few minutes later since i cant startup anymore and only get into bootloader.
Now I'm trying to flash my stock rom back.
My CID is VODAP102 and my Version is 3.14.161.27 so i downloaded the rom and tried "fastboot flash boot boot.img" the result is:
sending 'boot' <8192 KB>...
