I have a virus on my phone, HELP !!!! - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

my Vibrant keeps reseting itself, it doesnt reboot. However, the screen goes black almost every 10 to 15 minutes, then the phone kills all running apps and resets itself as if I just rebooted it .... very Wierd
I noticed this is happening after I have made an attempt to download a song from a free app to download music, PLEASE HELP, I dont wanna resst the phone again to stock

there should be a folder where the downloads go..have you checked in there using a file manager to see the file you downloaded? Maybe try deleting it?
Do you have a task killer?

Adobe Reader
Certain Gameloft Games

What kernel/rom are you using? OC'ed?

I have checked there, and the file is not there, it either disappeared or it was never downloaded, because I kept gettin an error message at the time that there were an error in downloading the file because it needed wifi ... After that my phone started acting up
kernel version 2.6.29
2.1-update1 the firmware version

What apps have you recently installed? What program did you use to search for free music?

I think I had a similar issue when trying to use a 'free to me' Gameloft game - I'd try to get that 'thugware' off your system and see if the problem persists.

I team into the same thing. I ended up having to do a clean flash back to stock....

026 crashes apps constantly

I've put 026 on my phone twice now, with 2 seperate downloads (incase one was corrupt) but it always crashes apps, like timescape, the web browser, the market, even the uninstall app and many others...
Anyone else get this, or have a fix? I dont get it with 024, but would prefer to use 026 because it seems a little faster.
same thing happened to me after I stopped some of the apps from startup. that gave me about 180mb free though, but nearly all the apps were crashing, they were not force closing but simply vanishing. then I enabled everything while booting and everything was fine. so now am trying to stop one service or app one at a time to find which one of them is causing this.

Hmm i dont have any app killer installed though... but i did have one installed before flashing. But flashing would have completely removed it?
The very first time i started the phone after going to 026 i got this crashing, which happens exactly how it does with you.
nope, very first time I installed 026 everything was fine, only issue I had was when I used the app "my backup pro" to restore my messages, contacts etc, somehow my phone started sending messages again, the same ones that I already had sent in the last 4 months,I had to delete all the threads quickly or there were about 2000 messages which could have been sent.
then I started with the boot manager and disabled nearly everything, that's when vanishing of the apps started, nothing before that. but I guess its working fine now. am only disabling apps I installed, not touching anything I don't know, phone seems to be working fine.

I also experience this constant crashing of apps.

guys, try not to kill all the services, instead eliminate them one by one to find which one is crashing your phone. mine seems to be working fine now

Apps downloading... then vanish/not install

I've only noticed this on Nero v2 and v3. Not certain it is rom specific though (because I can't see how this would be isolated to the rom).
that said, any time I download an app from the market it downloads find, but then it dissappears from the notification bar and it does not install.
I have tried clearing market data/cache
clearing download manager data/cache
rebooting
fix permissions + reboot
using the Market Doctor via Titanium Backup
Anyone else experiencing this, rather.. is there a known fix?
I want to download skyfire so I can remove the stock bookmarks... also not sure why this is an issue for the froyo leaks, but I have read that deleting them using skyfire also removes them from the stock browser.
Thanks!

yeah mine does that too....i'm thinking its a market problem...
but my temp fix is: when it goes away in the notification bar.. just go back to the app in market and hit install/free or whatever and it eventually installs my apps...hope it helps
I've had similar problems with JL5 I'm guessing it's something with the new market.
I've been having the same problem, yea its probably the new market
Eugene Gingerbread Clone+Super IO+OCLF+Slidescreen Pro=Amazing
I had the same thing...went into manage applications and hit clear data on the market app...all is good

I had this problem before, then i accidentally installed this market apk and it started working with no problems, but idk if it'll work for everyone.
I'm running Ginger Clone R2.
Here's the link, you should be able to install it without any problems or anything.

It happens to me about 1/3 of the time. I am running Axura 2.1. It also happens to my wife about 10% of the time, and the only thing that has happened to her phone is market apps and OTA updates. She is fully stock and I am not allowed to touch her phone.
I just go to downloads, click on the app so it loads the app page, hit cancel and then install. This usually kicks it into gear. Another thing I noticed is that the ones that don't download usually have a progress bar that mirrors another downloading/installing application rather than show their own progress. Then when the actual installed app is finished the wrong apps shows either 0% or 100% downloaded but never changes until I cancel and restart.
FYI, neither my wife nor myself are using the new market yet.
Hii all... Wiping the cache partition into recovery mode has done the trick for me...you won't lose any data, first boot after wiping will take some time and maybe that will fix it...

I will try it, but I don't hold out much hope it will fix it. This has persisted for me over my last three ROMs ( a little over a month) and I wiped my cache several times since over that period. Usually if I am gonna do a lag fix I wipe everything temporary that is safe to wipe first so there is less to process. It speeds things up.

[Q] My media has disappeared!

Hey guys. I have searched this btw, and couldn't find anything.
All my images in the gallery has disappeared, I've tired several apps to do a media scan and even used SEUS to flash it back to 2.1 and still havn't got them back! They're still on my sd card, I can see the files when it's connected to the computer. Any suggestions anyone? Thanks!!
Currently running Wolfbreak's CM6.1.3V4.3 if that's important.
I'm currently running the same rom.....never had a single issue.
Try downloading "quickpic" by alansw.com from the market and see if that works.

Quickpic fixed it, if I select "show hidden." Seems like one of my folders got hidden somehow. That's a brilliant program. Thanks!!

[APP] Hulu Plus - need someone to test

This worked on my Sensation and on my T-Mobile GSII (Files were originally taken from Sensation forum, I just tried them on other devices). I don't have my Tab with me to try it right now, but figured someone could give it a shot.
Copy files to Titanium Backup folder and restore APP+DATA.
I know it won't work with AdFree or similar without modifying host files.
I tried, I can get it to log in and browse the available videos, however I get stuck on "buffering..." black screen or endless buffer loop where it starts to play ad but then just restarts and says buffering again
I also get the app loaded but get stuck on buffering
Do you have ad free or an ad free rom? That is what causes that problem on the sensation.

I'm using Galaxy Task 10.0 ROM, no AD free app and don't believe ROM has anything like it cooked in
Working! !
Working GREAT on Galaxy 10.1 with Task650's "Galaxy Task 9.0" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1340064
Hulu Plus was buffering endlessly then I applied the file in the second post in this thread to enable ad blocking via CWM.
And I'm drinking coffee and watching Family Guy

Galaxy Task 10.0 does have an ad blocker cooked in, it's a modified hosts file.
I stand corrected
I installed the "disable ad blocker" zip in CWM as mentioned in task650's post (thanks Gillian for pointing in right direction), and Hulu is now working! Thank you!!
I installed the Disable Ad Blocking on my Task ROM but I still get stuck in loop buffering.

Mine wasn't listed under H, I had to scroll down almost to the bottom to find the file when I restored it.
Also, as I used it more last night, I ran in to a lot of buffering issues where the ads would work fine, but the minute it got to the show it would buffer and pop up an error message saying no active internet connection (when I did).
I found it and restored app+data......am i supossed to have a login and password?.....i go to watch a show and it takes me to log in sreen
Yeah you have to have a Hulu Plus account to use it. They offer a 7-day free trial, then $7.99/mo after that.

Thank you so much for posting this!! It is working great for me on Galaxy Task 10. Finally hulu on my Galaxy tab!

Thanks for posting. Works great. I'm running the latest kang ICS on my GT7510
Watchin **** Van Dyke right now...
Seems I spoke too soon. Got half way through the program and it stopped saying buffering then it says I may have a network issue please try again later or adjust your stream settings. I waited for about 2 or 3 min. and the video resumed. Then a couple of minutes an it happens again. Trying a lower video quality now, was set to hi....now med.Still well worth it cause before this I had nothing for hulh on my tab.
Thanks again
Says device isn't supported. Running Galaxytask 10 without ad block.
did you restore app + data? if you just did app, you'll get that error message I believe

[Q] CM9 GTA 3 - Whats my deal...

I think this may be my first post on XDA. I roam XDA, Rootz, and AC all the time but rarely find a time that I can contribute to others so I generally keep to myself.
Absolutely love my TP running CM9 alpha0.6...
From time to time I have issues with getting apps to work. Normally I can figure out a way to get the app side loaded and working but this has not been the case for GTA. When the app first hit the market I paid for it and downloaded. I have always got the same message after opening the game.
"Unfortunately, GTA III 10-YEAR ANNIVERSARY has stopped."
Obviously i have downloaded the data files from a site and put in the correct folder on my "SD card"..still no luck.
Maybe I have downloaded the wrong data .rar files? Which ones are working for others?(I read HTC Sensation files work in other threads)Where did you download them?
Are there any changes I need to make in order for the game to work?
Any suggestions would be helpful...i have wasted a lot of time on this.
Was helped by another member. Went through the market to update the app. was able to download the files and play afterwards.
I have the same issue with the Madden 12 app. It starts downloading some 300MB update, but then just quits and tells me to try later.

Since I never wiped my SD card when upgrading from CM7 to CM9 all I had to do was install GTA and it launched using the files downloaded while on CM7. On CM7 I had downloaded the files on wifi, not sure if this works in CM9.
You can find the files already downloaded in an archive on the internet, just pick the correct GPU brand and it should work if you can't download on the Touchpad.
I have download the data direct from Wifi with no problem at all !
If you have save data, you can backup the file from "/sdcard/Android/data/com.rockstar.gta3ger/files/GTA3/GTA3sf*.b" before you re-download the data.
