[Q] Help me identify this anti-theft app? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello all,
I was using a Milestone 2 (GSM Version Droid 2) and just bought a Razr Maxx, so I quickly rooted my Maxx and installed Titanium Backup to restore my apps from my Milestone 2
The second time I turn my Maxx on, I received a message from my own number saying the following message:
" The number sent this sms is using your buddy My Name phone illegal, you can send command sms to control phone send 3) to get all command in details."
It was then I remember that I installed an anti-theft app into my Milestone 2, however I forgot the name of the app, therefore I cannot find a way to uninstall it. Also, this only happens when I restored my backups from Titanium Backup. I have checked only the apps that I want to restore, therefore this should not happen again. However the same thing happens. The anti-theft app somehow by pass the restore limitations and reinstalled itself using Titanium Backup
This is very annoying, since its sending myself messages, telling me that I stole my own phone.
Anyone recognized what app this is by looking at this message?

Can you not just go to the Play Store and see your installed apps and look at which one it is?

anti theft apps hide in system/apps.
so open root explorer and search for unusual app like "pet finder" and delete it

That's some dodgy grammar in that text message.

I think it's telling you that your mates phone has been stolen and that you should reply to get the commands and locate it.
P.s. If this is the case, you can't remove it because it's in your mates phone, not yours.

No google voice?

Can't access it from the market.
My number is ported through google voice.
What give? Am I missing something?
IDK what to tell you, I have it. I used it to text before I even activated the phone.
I have a 3D now and I was able to download it just fine. Works good on EVO 3D.
working good here too, try rebooting your phone.
Yup, same here. Works great.
i noticed this today also
i got my phone yesterday and downloaded it fine
i got my moms today and its not there in the market
Wait, what? Can anyone else confirm this? I know it's probably something that will get resolved pretty quickly, but I'm going to have a major problem if I can't have my google voice app for even a day. I guess I'll just not activate the phone until someone posts that it's definitely in the market.

google voice is in the market on the evo 3d i just downloaded it right now
When I searched for it, I couldn't find it either. I had to find another Google application and at the bottom of that app's page, click on "View other applications" to see other apps developed by Google.
i just 'pushed' it from the android website from my desktop. it's there. it works.

In general, when I can't find a known app on the market, I go to [u]www.appbrain.com[/u] , find the app and install it with the QR code. DON'T create an appbrain account and it will show you everything, not just the apps that it "thinks" are compatible with your phone. Here is a direct link to GV and here is the actual QR code if you don't want to bother with all that clicking.

Ok Now I deleted google voice and Im getting NO text messages
Ok. From what I have read you have to log onto Google voice on a pc and on the upper right you click and disable text in that. That is how u disable this. I hadn't tried it yet since I'm not at my pc. Let me know if it works.

Chrome to Phone

Is there a solution to make Chrome to Phone.apk work?
I m sure you have the same problem
Must be an error on Google side
First ou need to install the extension in Chrome, then you need chrome 2 phone installed on your beloved SGS2.
And last you need to have syncronisation turned on on your phone.
It works just fine here. I've had no problems sending text or urls.
I know how to set stuff.... has been used for a long time.
But after 2.3.4 ROM, Error: unable to connect

any news guys?
C2P uses Google Talk to communicate with your phone. Open the Talk app on your phone, log off and log in again. This is a suggested fix by Google.
Nope, doesn't work here. f'in...
working fine here for me on 2.3.4 although i use the firefox extension as i dont use chrome browser
read here (autotranslated)
seems that if you log in from different mobiles / roms, you have to logout from some of them becase a 10 id limit...
hope this can help
Working fine on my S2 with a Google Apps account, even if they say Google Apps is not compatible with Chrome To Phone.

[Q] App not authorized on your device?

okay so I just tried to open the game of Life and I got this message:

The only thing I could think of is that my device is rooted so the app wont let me use it. However, my nexus 7 is rooted and I can still play this game which doesn't make any sense.. any ideas?

If you are looking at the app in the play store you should see device compatibility, if it's not compatible there that could be one issue. Did you side load the app, d/l it from a site that other than the play store? Need some more info.

Sorry, I wasn't trying to imply it was cracked, just wasn't sure if it came from a different store other than play, there are many out there. Honestly I have no clue why, sort of like why my Nexus 7 can't install the Amazon Mobile (Store) app but my Galaxy Note 2 can, very odd thing. So again, sorry about any misunderstanding. Did you try to side load the apk file or change something in the build prop?

It's alright man haha. I actually fixed the problem. It was because I wasn't connected to wifi/mobile data and it's one of those games where it checks for a license every time you open it. It was a fail on my part. Thanks for your time though!

factory reset
Settings>Apps>Google Play Store
Then:
1. Uninstall Updates
2. Clear Data
3. Force Stop
4. Reboot
See if that helps. And next time please use Google, lol

Moved to Q&A..
As suggested probably best is a factory reset. That ought to remove it.
But you need to track down which app you installed that put that in or it will happen again.
Ok, so far I've done the following with no success:
- removed several recently installed apps
- cleared data on play store
- full wipe and reinstall ROM
The [email protected]&# message comes back every time. I have googled this and strangely have not found much on it, nor any clear/useful ideas on getting rid of it, or what app/process makes it show up. Really frustrating...

If full wipe didn't work it's probably pretty good malware. I would Odin

Damn, finally figured it out, appears it was legit. Maybe associated with the fact that I recently turned on, and then turned off, two step verification with my Gmail account. Hit continue and Google verified my account settings. I had already done that on my pc, but for some reason Google wanted to verify on my phone as well. Weird!

Samsung Pay Framework using nearly 6Gb of storage!!!

For some reason my Samsung Pay Framework is using nearly 6Gb of storage.
Has anyone else come across this? If so do you know how to reduce it as that is over 10% off my available storage

8.6Mb data used in Pay and 2.4Mb data used in Pay Framework here, I have 2 Bank cards, 3 Membership cards, I'm registered for the reward program and I'm using the app regularly.
Something is wrong with Pay using 6Gb of data, did you try cleaning up with Settings-> Device Maintenance-> Storage -> Clean Now?

Yeah. Reset the app and start over. Force close and then clear cache and data. Then re configure app. Something obviously went wrong.

I preferably don't want to do that as I have a lot of cards currently registered and don't want to have to set up all my credit cards again.

Could be a reporting glitch. Boot phone into recovery and clear cache. Then boot up and check. If that doesn't change it you will have to reset the app. There is no other way.
