Hi Xda's
I recently bought Samsung S3 clone from China
It has a pre installed App called QQ security (is it a good or bad app?????????????????)
I am not sure if its a good app or a app that troubles my phone (It has lot of options but in chinese, it some times blocks certain SMS & also not allowing to install certain files)
I am interested to know if we could do any one of the following to that APP
1. Understand what exactly the menu's in English (Its an fully Chinese APP)
2. If not able understand it can we uninstall it?
Please help
let me know if you need further details
Thanks in advance
QQ Security
Hey there,I just signed up to xda forums just so I could write this reply, tbh I used that application until 2 days ago and I have gone through every setting of it and as far as my understanding went, there was no option to change the language and the uninstalling bit from personal experience, as you said the application pre installed so I would say you need root access to uninstall if the application is installed in the system apps or if its not you could give it a try by finding it in the settings <application <all.
Last but not least are you by any chance able to compile the application and post it here because silly me :/ I accidentally have uninstalled it from my phone and I can't find it on the internet to download anymore and I'm desperate for that application
Cheers
Need some Help!
I´m new with flashing ROMs and this stuff. I installed MiniCM7 on my Xperia X10 mini using this great guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1068553
All the requirements were checked, and it starts and works pretty good, but one thing doesn´t.
I don´t get any Service.
My IMEI is still the same, the phone never was SIMlocked, and I already read all the Help-Threads in this Forum.
I also tried to create some new APN´s, because there weren´t any - but after setting all the informations and pressing "save APN" there is no APN shown. It seems not to be saved in any way.
In order to this problem, all my contacts exported on SIM are gone. Checked SIM in another mobile phone - it works and I get service, but the contacts are gone. This isn´t my major problem, but this info might help diagnose.
After checking all options and re- re- re-setup the system i don´t know what to do.
Please please help me, i don´t like setting up the old Sony Android 2.1 again - it´s so ugly!
At least, please pardon my "english" - i tried my very best
update
I still hope someone might help me fixing this bug.
meanwhile I tried searching manually for service-providers, and it´s disgusting. The result is, that my phone can find each provider you can find in germany but mine.
then i tried to re-install with testing other miniCM (9; 10) - and it´s still the same result with miniCM9. The miniCM10 doesn´t finish the setup-wizzard correctly, and it seems as if the miniCM10 would create the system on my SD-card and not on the internal memory.
so, yesterday i got used to having a broken phone, i tried CM7-robyn (not the mini-version), and the display just showed some kind of "test-screen"...
Hi there,
After screwing up my Samsung S3 and until I can somehow get it fixed, I am seriously considering purchasing a Samsung Galaxy Note 3, but really 'only' if I am able to successfully root it and able to run ''Directory-Bind' on it as I do on my S3 now. Could I get a thumbs up here that Directory-Bind is compatible with a Galaxy Note 3 running Android 4.3, or if if it's not compatible, a suitable alternative, as I want to be able to mount an external SD card and run apps/games from that, as I do now with my S3. If Directory-Bind isn't compatible with, can someone please name me a good suitable alternative that is?
As usual, if this question has been answered previously, my apologies.
Thanks in advance.

You need to post in the note 3 forums.
Do you have a s3 i9300? If so why not post whats wrong with it and see if we can get it sorted.

Sorry, my bad, my post was 'supposed' to be in the Note 3 section, I don't know what happened.
Someone already addressed my S3 problem in another thread( http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...3-question-t2690307/post54013380#post54013380 see below) , but I still haven't been able, due to illness, to fix it.

I'm in the UK and rooted my Samsung Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300) well over a year ago, using, the CF Root method from these very forums.
All had been working just fine until about a week ago, when I (stupidly) installed an apk that was 'supposed' to add KitKat features to my stock 4.1.2 ROM. It was from this article "http://androidcritics.com/get-android-4-4-kit-kat-android-devices/" that I installed two of the provided apk's, namely 'Google Home' and 'Google Velvet' (an apk that claimed to add 'Google Now' features to my ICS ROM). Now, I so regret taking the risk of installing those two apk's, as now, as soon as my SGS3 has booted up and detected the 64GB SD Card (running with Directory Bind), I get a message that states 'Unfortunately Google Search has stopped'. When I try to open Google Search, it says unable to load data, and trying to run Google Play now always says 'No Connection, retry?' All was fine before I installed those 2 apk's. Even when I try to download something via the Play Store in Firefox on my PC and try to send that to my SGS3, that now fails too. In-game purchases won't connect either (No Connection, again) I'm really confused, because some apps connect to the Internet via WiFi, such as Dolphin Browser,Yahoo Mail and facebook; but, ANYTHING to do with Google, including GMail seems not to or just plain won't connect, although Google maps does connect.
After this problem started, I immediately, using Odin 3 v1.85, successfully flashed my SGS3 with CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4.tar, but that has made absolutely no difference and has fixed nothing. My phone is way past its warranty, so getting it fixed by Samsung is out of the question, and my only (hopeful) solution is to ask you guys for a working fix/solution, please?
I've connected my SGS3 to the latest version of Samsung KIES (via USB) on my PC and KIES states there is a software update for my phone available (it doesn't however mention what the software update is or what for), but it says I may lose data on my phone, and I don't want to lose my data and settings; so, somehow, I'm going to need to make some kind of backup, yes? What would be the best application for backing up my internal SD to my PC, as I unfortunately don't even have space on my PC's HDD to make a backup of that at this time.
My SIII states there are 600 installed applications (of which the vast majority still function just fine, except some that need to connect to the net via WiFi (some will and some now won't)), that I really haven't got the time or energy to reinstall all of them again, so can someone please point me in the direction or post(s), explaining the best way to back up my internal memory and settings (I don't have the HDD space to back up the entire data contents of apps on my external SD card at the moment, so I'm guessing backing up the internal 11GB will save all the relevant data I need). I'm sure backing up like this has been covered in a separate post, so any pointers to those posts would be useful, thanks.
But the most important thing for me at the moment are to get my Google Services and Wi-Fi issues fixed.
One last problem.....When I try to open Applications Manager in Settings, it stays open for about 10 seconds then force-closes. I'm guessing that having the high number of installed apps n games installed is causing this, is it? Because of this, I don't seem to be able to delete the davik cache on things like Google Play, etc.
I've managed to reset (global) App preferences in Applications Manager, but that's as far as I can get in there before it force-closes itself.
I've tried logging on to YouTube, using my regular Google account, but nothing happens.....I don't get it. Would I need to remove my regular Google account from my phone and then fill it in again??
I even reinstalled Google Play (Playstore v4.0.27.apk) and Google Search, but both still don't connect to the Net.
If you have any other questions regarding my problems) or need any more details from me, to help with a solution to these problems, then please go ahead and ask me. Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to put is as much detail about my problems as I could.
Many thanks in advance, sincerely, Al."
Briefly, the problem is, I tried installing a couple of APK's on my rooted 4.1.2 Samsung Galaxy S3 that were supposed to install Google Now. They pretty much did that, and it's working, but it has screwed up just about everything else Google-related, including Gmail (just always force-closes), Google Play (won't connect), Now, when I try to log into my Google account on my S3 (with my correct email and password), I always get the message "Couldn't sign in - Can't establish a reliable connection to the server. This could be a temporary problem or your Android device may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, call Customer Care."
This was never a problem before since I removed my Google account from my S3 and tried to add it again, in order to try to fix the problems with Google Plat and Gmail. Now, Google Plus doesn't work too.
Everything else, all apps n games, including Wi-Fi connection to my router work just fine, except connection to the Play store and trying to update or add apps to my S3 via my PC.
I've been told to download an original stock 4.1.2 ROM in zip format and stick it on my external SD card, but I have yet to find exactly where to find a stock 4.1.2 ROM in zip format in order to put it on my external SD card - any pointers would be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I hope this covers everything for a minute.
Cheers, Al
I have no idea how a virus found its way inside of my Archos 55 platinum phone, i searched online and saw that many people had the same virus as me on the same phone model and now i want to install a costum Rom on my phone and make it clean and i cannot find it as the archos guys wont release one
about the virus:
*It automatically installs google play apps on my phone and launches them.
*it has been appended to the android settings app so i could not delete it with malwarebytes
*I have tried factory reset but it wont be removed
*I have already rooted the phone in the hopes of removing it with root access but apparently nothing can remove the settings file
so i have turned up to you guys for advice on how to remove it (FYI: everything is on the table guys)
Sorry if i posted on the wrong forum or anything, i made an account solemnly for posting about this particular problem
If no one can help me removing it can someone please tell me what rom usually works with almost all android phones as i already said there is no rom available for my phone model
Hey guys, it's my very first post here, if it's on the wrong section or anything i've made wrong i apologise i couldn't find the thread for newbies (as i'm on a vacation on my brother in law house and do not have a computer next to me )
Ok so here is the problem my Brother in law asked me to help make his Xperia C faster, i first hard reset it and then root it, to get rid of some in built apps, i was cleaning and deleting a bunch of stuf, things i've done a dozen time with other fones, and then i deleted the stock facebook that came with it as i was searching trough apps to delete on titanium backup i've come across some xperia social plugins (with facebook logo on it) and some xperia facebook plugins i thought ok i will instal the new facebook and all this will come with it so i should delete these to open space, now i can't open facebook anymore, i can use facebook lite on it but not the normal facebook, i don't wana flash the img since every thing is working right only normal facebook is not working, is there any way to just download the apk plugin or i don't know maybe factory reset to restore it ?
