Hello,
I have been using my HTC Evo 3D for sometime now and have recently noticed a strange app thing in my app list which i did not install and the worst thing is that i can't uninstall it. I am attaching a couple of screen shots of the app below. I will be thankful to the kind soul who'll help me solve this problem. The app is named " *116# " and if i click on it...it says USSD code running and then gives me a message "Service is currently unavailable GW1".
*i have tried factory resetting and formatting my SD card.
*my phone is not rooted.
*It doesn't appear in the running applications, just the applications list
*HELP!

That's strange. I tried to google it and found nothing. Did it just show up or did you JUST notice it? What country/carrier do you have? Could you give us as much info as possible?
"We're coming from a pure power source."
Are you on a GSM 3d or Sprint? If Sprint, this is not a "factory" system app so it should NOT be there and may be a root kit/virus. If you're not rooted, you will have to root to be able to remove it via root explorer. Probably be in system/app since you say it's uninstallable. If you're on a GSM phone I have no idea whether it's supposed to be there or not....so I won't advise whether to remove or not. Good luck.
That's what I was thinking.

Well i have to be honest that i did notice it a week back but i didn't pay much attention to it. Today as i looked at it i tried to see what it was and then hit a dead end. I am from Pakistan and using Ufone (GSM) services. The phone is carrier free and i almost hit it with a hammer to get rid of it
Maybe its a carrier installed app. Can you contact Ufone and ask about it?

just make Backup and then uninstall this app
use Root Uninstaller
i just don't want to root my phone and root uninstaller works with rooted phones only...guess im just stuck with it...
@metalfan
i contacted U-Fone and they said they don't send/install any apps without the confirmation of the user and even if they do it goes to the "U-Fone Kit Menu"...im giving up on this ...if its not harming me...im gonna let it be..
It can't just have appeared from nowhere, you must have installed something. Anyway just do a factory reset, should be fine

Your phone has the herps bud. Were you in Vegas recently?
On a more serious note, the description says it has access to "Services which cost you money" which could potentially access financial information stored on your phone.
If you are adamant about not rooting it then you should have nothing to fear about taking it in and letting the service technicians remove it for you at your cell phone provider's store front. If they can't remove it I would ask for a new device. It never hurts to ask.

On a more serious note, it says it has full access to communications meaning someone can hijack you and call all over the world with your number and leave you the bill.
I'd swap that phone out ASAP and make sure you are only downloading from a the Play Store and not off some website to save a buck for an ad-free angry birds....
I agree with PMG, both scenarios are bad, get tech support in person from the provider and have them take care if it.
i think its from simcard..
i do factory reset and then i see that too.. but i now using new custom rom ics.. i dont see app like that..

Remove your sim card and then try to factory reset from boot loader or android.
then check if they are still there......if not then insert your sim back in and check again.....

it gives a secure element error if secure element is bad, had the same issue with one gas station but it worked just fine at McD's
So you're saying that only the prepaid card isn't working?
Reset it like ten flashes ago.
Never had it tell me i had a problem.
Always flashed a ROM, loaded up wallet, and it asks me to enter a new pin every time i did a flash.
Entered same pin and it loaded up fine
It saves my credit cards every time.

Well it seems to be working if your added credit card is going thru. Maybe try clearing cache and data then adding prepaid card again? Uninstall update and download universal wallet app maybe?
Mine doesn't want to work at certain stores, but it comes on at least. The transaction won't go thru is the only issue I have.

some terminals are connected and working but not properly set up. I went to one gas station everyday for about a week to try to figure out why the terminal wouldn't recognize the phone. The clerk felt bad and put in a service ticket, technician came and told the clerk it needed to be reset and reconfigured. Works fine now, although I found it a bit strange because I know I saw at least one paypass card charged that week
I got an email stating that my Google Prepaid card is set to expire next month. I haven't been able to use my gw. I tried at our local Rite Aid with no success. But who knows if the cashier knew what he was doing.
Maybe I did, maybe I didn't....
Its credit and some systems require the cashier select credit prior to the customer swiping or this case passing the nfc across the reader
I had wallet running, worked fine- used it at the gas pump and counter of gas stations.
Then, I wiped caches, data, and system.
Oops! I forgot to clear wallet first.
Flashed new rom (Goodies 2.10)
Wallet still works.
NFC Bricking theory false.

Keep telling yourself that. You aren't guaranteed a brick if you don't clear wallet, but if it happens, you're SOL.
Yeah I've wiped the whole lot three times and flashed new ROMs without clearing wallet and it still works. Some think since GW stuff is stored in the cloud it may not be an issue.
But who knows since Google won't say one way or the other.

I always thought that it bricked if you used a different account than what you originally had the first time. I've also flashed multiple ROMs without resetting wallet

You don't need to clear wallet ever. I never have and it works fine

I probably have flashed the rom, wiped everything 10+ times (Thanks for MeanRom weekly update) and I never bother to reset wallet.
It works just fine.
Do you guys actually use wallet regularly? I used it a couple times on my NS4G, but that's it.

NFC is not what bricks in regards to the error you are referencing. What happens is the secure element (read more about it here) becomes corrupted and unresponsive. And because nothing (not even Wallet) can actually read the information on it, it is forever stuck in that state.
The claim was never that NFC would brick, but that the secure element would. If you happen to get the 'secure element is not responding' error, then you will still be able to use NFC for stuff like Beam and such (this is found on the sticky on this forum as well as the FAQ on the Q&A forums) but you will never be able to use your phone for secure payments.
We don't have enough testing or enough evidence to say one thing or another. What we do know is that you are far less likely (if at all) to get the error if you clear your Wallet settings before flashing a new ROM/doing a hard reset.
Take that for what you will.

No the issue with the secure element was corrected for those doing a factory reset, that part getting destroyed isn't an issue on the newer OS updates anymore.
My guess is this was at Sprint's request.
I can confirm, I've wiped a couple thousand times without ever clearing wallet. I use mine everyday almost, just have to go through half the setup each time after a full wipe. Also did the same on the previous version.
Bad Seed Customs
Just Sick!
Anyone using the Google prepaid card needs to spend it before Oct 17, it will no longer exist (the card, that is).
I flashed an AOKP update on the 16th. On the 17th, in the late afternoon, I installed wallet. Opened it, expecting to see my Google prepaid card (I planned on always using that and ne over putting a real bank card on it) and the 8 or 10$ I had on it. Nope. Not there.
I called money network and was informed of the change. If only I would have installed wallet the night before lol :banghead:

You have to install a modified version of the wallet app, which you can find in the apps section.

Or use ICS Tranquility, we've removed/disabled the stupid warnings, device and root checks.
Ever since the first OTA I've been flashing without clearing Wallet and I still use it at 711 no problem!
I secure element bricked 2 EVO LTE's. Granted it was before the first ota. But I cleared cache, data, then reset wallet if possible. Opposite order for u dyslexics out there.
On a positive note my confidence in wallet has grown substantially. Flashed several roms without clearing wallet out and it still works.
However, I would reccomend u reset wallet each and every time u plan on wiping data/system or switching from sense to aokp. Also when doing factory reset or even updating same rom to be safe.
Wallet is a fickle *****.
I have TWRP installed on my LGOG e970, with bootloader unlocked.
I [very recklessly] tried to install MIUI on my phone. TWRP didn't say "Failed" or anything of the sort when it was applied. It said everything went smoothly. I rebooted the system and now the phone won't even boot back into bootloader. If I try to hold the volume up + power button for more than 10 seconds, it starts flashing the power button consistently, but it stops when I let go of the buttons. Computer won't recognize it and I can't get it into Download Mode.
Any help?
Knowing what MIUI ROM you tried to install could possible help. Not that I will be able to though.

If you plug phone into charger, does power button flash rapidly. If so you need to disconnect battery.
3.1.25 off the miui.us website.
no. the phone literally does nothing until i hold the power button [i've found that it's just the power button; volume buttons dont really matter] for more than 10 seconds.

Yeah it wouldn't have even come close to working. Unfortunately, it must have done some serious re-mapping to your partitions. Since you can't get into download mode, there is no chance of LGNPST to stock. Maybe someone in IRC knows a trick but it looks like your phone is toast. Try to get LG to do a warranty replacement. Just say it stopped working.

Can flashing something in recovery actually remap the partitions?
Op, try THIS, sounds like it may help.

I really don't get how he openly admits to flashing a completely wrong ROM. Like how do you manage to unlock, root, install TWRP, find MIUI, and flash it, but have no idea it's bad. The rom he flashed is over 6 months old too, and he just though everything "would magically work." He even works for AT&T you've got to be kidding me.

lol you guys are funny. i've been rooting, jailbreaking, unlocking and developing for 6 years; it's not like i dont know what i'm doing. i figured it'd brick it, but not this bad. you can almost ALWAYS fix a brick. i was just seeing if anyone knows of a solution, since it's a fairly new phone and even newer to me. if you dont push your limits, you dont know how far the phone can go. simple as that. working for at&t has no relevance; there are some technology-stupid reps out there.
if you're gonna make a mess, make sure you can clean it up. no worries, i have a new LG now with zero expense. notice the lack of worry in this thread. moral of the story: don't push your phone when you're drunk!

rampart51 what did you end up doing? Did flash first, root second work? I currently have an ICS 4.0.4 that has been flashed to PP. I want to root it so that I can uninstall verizon crap like Slacker Radio and Tune Wiki.

To be honest....I haven't done it yet. Been too busy and the All in one tool looks like it may have a few issues.....I'm gonna wait it out. I have been on PP for a few weeks now. No issues. No 3g but I don't really need it.
I flashed to Page Plus months ago and I love it... I get the same thing as I had with verizon but I pay $29 instead of $89 a month. I had a company called beigephone.com flash my phone for $50 because I didn't have time to figure it out myself. my 3g works perfectly though, so if your 3g doesn't work maybe your settings need to be fixed. did you flash it for Page Plus yourself? I'd actually like to learn how to do it, especially if it can be done without using CDMA WS.
I just used the all-in-one tool + revolutionary to root a different thunderbolt that was still on gingerbread (2.11.605.19). The only hiccup was that I had to remove/re-install the HTC drivers twice (solution here).
Please let me know if you decide to try it out on your ICS thunderbolt!
No OTA love in Florida! Better off downgrading and rooting anyways.
Im in florida and I got ota, may just like be your phone reboot in recovery and clear cache maybe that'll work.
I even did a reactivation. You near South Florida?
Its because there isn't much going on till Friday.

Cool, where did that info come from
I don't see why Sprint or even LG doesn't have a downloadable update via website that computer literate people can use to update their own phones

How is your battery life? I've heard mixed things since people have updated. I'm mostly interested in Lollipop for the improved encryption.

I got that rollout information (proof: http://www.reddit.com/r/LGG3/comments/2wbswp/sprint_lollipop_rollout_schedule/ ) from a Sprint live chat.
Reading the comments on Reddit from the link you posted- I CAN CONFIRM THAT THIS COMMENT WORKS! AFTER DOING THIS AND CHECKING FOR UPDATE - I rebooted.... went back to said LG SOFTWARE UPDATE and I am NOW downloading the update! PS Make sure you change your connection back to lte

I'm from Chicago and wasn't part of the 10% that received the update. I forced the update to my phone by repeating this process: 1) Shutting off data, wi-fi and location. 2) Clearing data for Google Services Frameworks under ALL apps in settings. 3) Went into settings and under Wireless Networks I clicked More...>Mobile Networks>Network Mode> cdma 4) Checked for LG software updates under system updates and found it.

I genuinely believe you guys are messing with me lol
I can't believe it myself but it worked for me!!! I was surprised since they have been saying all along that wiping data on any google services would not jump start the update.. but it did.
Man do I like the update
No update here in Lincoln, NE either. I tried clearing data a few times...no luck. Are guys just clearing data on the framework services?

Did you do all of the steps? All I know is after following those steps verbatim.. It worked (I'm near philly)
If this rollout is true, I'm not surprised no one has it yet! I got this from another thread.. not sure which one anymore.

Yes followed the instructions exactly. Although they don't say to turn mobile data back on before checking for the update, but I tried doing that too with no success.

It does work. At least for me and many others. Took one try, update came right up. Live in Chicago myself and seems like the initial roll out was isolated to a small percent around Florida.
