Recently I found my apps is being auto-deleted and sometime it prompt out a free photos and videos link..Am wondering whether my SGSII got any spyware installed unconsciously???
Could someone please help me??!!!
Happy new year buddies....
Use titanium backup to backup your apps. Then reset your phone and install apps bit by bit (e.g. 10) and see which app causes it. You can also try installing avast mobile seciurity app which is free from the market and do a full scan
install AirPush Detector from market, it will show you what apps are using AirPush Ads

Is there a way of updating apps i have downloaded onto my sd card ? I have a few installed but cant update them because i did'nt get them from the apps market place
Thanks
SD card has nothing to do with it, they're simply not linked with the market entry. Titanium Backup has an option to fix it called "Market Doctor".
Does this work with any downloaded app and on any phone ?
I have a HTC HD2 windows phone but has been altered to run on android
Thanks
Well, any rooted phone... I've got no idea what it'll do if the device isn't. It has worked with any application I've restored so far, meaning applications that were either free or that I bought.
I've got no idea what it'll do if the app is not in your account... which wouldn't be a good idea to begin with.
Tried the titanium backup ,still cant update apps from sd card ?
Did you do long-press on app, Attach to market (forced) in Titanium?
Done that but it's asking me to pay for the update
That has to be a different issue... if it's in your account, the Market replaces all "Buy" buttons with ones saying "Purchased", no matter whether you actually have it installed. Is it listed under "My Apps" this way?
Where did you get the apps from in the first place?
If you got them from another app store ie. Getjar, Amazon etc. you can only update through that store, even though it may be available on the Android Market.
EDIT: Unless, of course, they're free. Then you can just download the app you want updating from the Market, which will then notify you of future updates.
I downloaded it from a file share torrent. The app itself costs money so was looking to try and upgrade for free .There have been quite a few updates from the one i have downloaded so all the functions wont work , i have the basic things working but not all
In that case let me congratulate you on obtaining a free virus. Hopefully Google is as good at reading logs as they are at reading webpages.

You're admitting to obtaining warez on a developer forum.

You know that what you're doing is illegal, right?
How can you expect updates for a paid app if you don't pay for it. People have to download it legally, crack it, and upload it to fileshare sites for every single update, so the update process isn't going to be fast.
I suggest you stop stealing and pay for the apps you want.
The actual app i downloded is free ,i am new to all this and only found out after downloading it ,dont think downloading free apps from a share site is illegal
Have a look at an app called Atrackdog. There are 2 versions one of which is to update apps on the SD card. The apps don't have to be from the market as far as I am aware.

When flashing a new rom, does the android market automatically download free and paid apps to the phone? I ask because in myapps list only shows paid apps and all free apps are missing and nothing is auto downloading. I've wiped the cache. Maybe I'm not fully understanding out the marketplace works when doing a new flash/system install.
It doesn't download anything unless you click on the apps to request them. Free apps won't be registered or remembered with your Google account, only apps you have purchased from the market will be listed as available. You then need to click on each of those to get them on your phone again. (Of course you won't need to pay for them the second time around.)
thanks. I realized this after hours of searching and weeding through a bunch of people referring to paid apps. it's a drag android does this though, but oh well. i have a titanium backup, so I'm good, i just felt like doing a fresh download since going to new SD card and phone, but titanium backup will work.
So after a few months a flashing I have a problem (not a big one but a bit irritating). I have a bunch of app's and know some of them don't get recognized by the Android Market. I tried forcing them with titanium backup but it didn't work.
I could go by each app one by one and checking if I have them on Market, if not I can delete and re-download. Any advice? I really have a lot of app's so I hope there is a simple solution

You're missing some information here. Which ROM do you use? Which apps? (Give examples). Do they show up in the market but say incompatible or do they not show at all? Which version of market do you use? What do you mean "Forcing" with titanium? As in fix market links? Uninstall and reinstall with titanium?
All I can say is if you use a different DPI setting than stock, some apps will not show up on the market or say they're outright incompatible. But there's too much info missing to say anything more...
I'm on CM nightly #116. Also I have Siyah kernel 2.0
As an example I always had Angry Birds, Angry Birds RIO and Angry Birds Seasons. Under "My App's" in the Android Market only the original Angry Birds was there. However if I went to Angry Birds RIO on the Android Market it would show that it is on my phone because I could update it or delete it. But it was never under "My App's". And another example is an App named Fontomizer SP. It wasn't under "My app's" But when I searched for it on the Android Market I could open or delete it.
The problem is that when it tries to autoupdate app's it skips those app's (and many others).
Just clear the Market data under 'Manage applications' and reboot your phone.
When you restart Market it will show the Market agreement again, but all your apps should now appear under 'My Apps'.
Didn't work. I wiped data just like you said. Accepted terms and conditions. But still same problem. I don't get it, it must be some kind of information that is linked with my google account. App's show up installed when I search for them. But under "My App's" there not there. Only deleting and re-installing seems to work. But that will take so long. Maybe I can try to clear data that has been saved to servers when I log in on Market on PC
Hmmm... do you have Market updates installed?
If so try uninstalling them (the 'Uninstall updates' button will be enabled) as well as clearing the data.
If not then I have no idea...
Got this weird problem with youtube app, everytime I tried to update it - it said out of space.
So I uninstalled it completely using link2sd and tried to reinstall from play store but still same issue.
For some reasons I noticed that few system apps after creating link using link2sd were not getting updated, I had noticed same issue with google+ as well but then I needed reset my device so was able to get it back but this time I dont want to waste my time in resetting device.
Please note, I am able to install/update all other apps, including system apps - just this app youtube is having this problem.
Any pointers?
Hi,
Recently I've been experiencing a continuous problem, and it's really annoyning. Suddenly in some random of time an app that I unknown which it is, is launching the play store to ask for game app installation like clash of clans or wasabee, and on other moments launch chrome browser to show a page for donwload and install whatsapp. No notifications is shown.
¿How can I identify which app is doing this? I solution is reset my xperia, ¿It is possible to save data of apps and recovery after reinstalled avoiding spam app?
I'd appreciate your help.
Aldemar
You have to take it (app) one by one start with the latest installed and delete it and see what happens
try "Ad Detect Plugin" app from google play store. try checking which apps are running by going to settings>apps>running might have to it few time the app which is causing it should be running whenever it happens. if you are rooted try lucky patcher and see which apps have advertisement . or try titanium backup and freeze the app that you thing is causing it and see if the ads come back.

Does this happen only while browsing internet?
If Yes, then it's just website spam, if not then you have to search every app that may cause it (for example freezing most of the apps).
