I'm not sure what exactly you mean.
If you're asking if there's an intent by android for giving you this prompt, it's because you have to log in for android to connect to the network and start receiving push notifications.
If you're asking if there's a reason for the hotspot owner to force you to "log in" in order to give you internet access, it's usually so you'll agree to their terms of service, which probably include them using the information based on what sites you visit for data mining, or making sure you agree not to cause harm to the network (downloading too much, uploading malicious software to the network, naughty sites, etc).

That´s what I mean... I know why I have to agree and so...
My question was, if there is something like an intent when this "log in question" is displayed in the notifivcation bar?

Gotcha, yeah Android just does that to let you know that there's a log in screen which is stopping any of your push notifications from coming through. Google wants you to log in to their wifi so they can start pushing you the emails, updates, etc, that you need.

Hmm.. I think we're still talking past each other
If there is a free Hotspot where the user have to agree to the term etc or have to login with an user name ... then there is notification...
How can i react to that notification?

When you click it, android opens a browser that sends you to the login page (Android assumes that the hotspot will redirect any page request to the login page). By doing this, it's letting you get to the login page more easily than forcing you to open the browser and a new tab just to go to that page(in case you're in another app that pings for data) .

Yes I know... I just want that my App is notified when this notification comes... is this possible?

I attached the notification I mean. So is there any possibility to get information (maybe via WifiManager) if the Wifi I´m connected to wants this login, before I have an internet connection?

[Q] Generel use / tips

Hi all!
So I just bought the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.0 and its my first tab. I have a HTC Desire cellphone, so android isn't completely unknown for me.
Even though I do have a few questions, maybe you guys can help me with.
1)
I have seen many screenshots where people have different background for each screen. One homepage, one called music to the left and maybe one called games to the right (just examples). And it look really awsome, how do I get it to mine?
2) It says it can have different email clients synchronized, but I cant get my yahoo mail to cooperate with it - I have no idea why. When I try to add another mail than Gmail (which I dont use) then it wont accept it. I did wrote to Samsung but they have no explanation or what so ever.
I'm a new user and cant post any outside links. I found the guide at a site called androidspot - how to setting yahoo mail on samsung galaxy tab.
3) generel tips! I really love my tab and think it is a great machine and can, in some place, be a substitute for a laptop. And that is what it is. I do have the feeling I dont really use all its function or just half of them.
Hope you guys can help me
And btw, I'm from Europe therefore there maybe be som function I cant use, like Move Hub (Damn! This one would be awsome to have!).

Hi
I can only answer your first Q:
Get this App --> https://market.android.com/details?id=org.tamanegi.wallpaper.multipicture
Maybe you should try to get an OTA update from Samsung to solve your mail problem.
Otherwise flash a newer ROM.
BTW: Good choice for the tablet ;-)

To get that app, should I get into the app store or should I go through your link, with my tab? I actually had no idea we were able to download direct from the internet, thought we had to go through the app store?
What is an OTA update? I recently updated the tab, so I suppose I have what we call touchwiz at the moment? I have heard the word "honeycomb", is that another OS or same thing as touchwiz?
According to this site you need to upgrade to a Yahoo! Mail Plus account.
Or try this

You can use the stock email app using these settings. I will post a video on my blog showing step by step soon.

opening this link on your tab will result in a question if you would like to open this like with the browser or the market, choose market.
OTA means Over The Air. but therefore you need to have setup an account at samsung. can be done under settings - about phone (or something - last option).

I made it work, now I just need some great background. Thanks you
About a OTA, how do I get one? And mere important, what is it?
And yeah, hopefully it wont dissapoint me ;-) So far I'm happy for it. I have bought some games and for some reason it seems to have some problem playting them. Sometimes it suddently exit the game to the homescreen, and I have no idea why.

[Q] Script to spy on Whatsapp

Hello,
I've recently came up with an idea to spy on whatsapp easily. This is purely for fun purpose. I don't have idea whether it will work. Many people want to spy their friends/gf/crush whatsapp, but they're unable.
My question is:
Is it possible to develop such a script on a rooted android phone that will run in the background and send the Whatsapp messages backup file (*.CRYPT) over email? Android on Whatsapp takes the messages backup daily, so if this .CRYPT is sent anonymously the spyer will be able to see the last day's messages.
Let me clear that this is just for FUN! No personal interest.
Thanks.
To be honest, its spying, tapping an account without notice. Its illegal even for fun purpose. If it could be done you already know that it will also be done with the wrong reason.
I can't find the fun factor in tapping others accounts....

Instagram 'Close Friends ' *Hack?*

Hi guys,
Sorry if this is in the wrong section.
Instagram trialled a "close friends" or "favourites" feature which allowed users to share posts with only particular users in their so called 'close friends list'. This trial was around the 23/06/2017.
My old Instagram account used this feature and it was great! However, it turns out they have cut the feature, unless you have already used it...
So my new account does NOT have this functionality and I would like to regain it!
Apparently the with and without the feature, the apks are identical, and it is simply a server-side switch to enable the feature and particular accounts. I was wondering if it would be possible to manually turn on the feature to spoof the server into thinking you had the feature and therefore enabling it on your account.
Please correct me if any of this information is incorrect or unfeasible.
Thanks in advance,
James
I currently have this feature and it appeared in my main account randomly, because it's a beta feature for only some IG accounts. I can't tell you if you could "force" the app to have it, but I assume it's impossible. The only way is to wait I think.

What are these strange numbers.

Galaxy s21 and my security seems to be an issue. What is this phone number doing here and why would it be toggled on to receive my messages. Thanks again everyone I hope I'm just being paranoid.

How do you expect anyone here to know what that number is? Why is it toggled to receive your messages? We don't know, you are the one that uses the device.
You are asking questions that we don't have any clue how to answer.

It looks like you have received a text from that number.

Oh I don't know, maybe someone has seen this type of attack before. Maybe someone does know how a phone number can even get attached in the manner it did. One thing I'm confident in is if anyone has any positive thoughts on the matter it would be a great help. Certainly though I can see this has upset you in a way that was not my intent. My thought was perhaps others who own an s21 are seeing the same thing or perhaps they are not. Lastly, your right, it is my device. A device that I didn't put the number on there and I have no idea how to remove that switch or input or whatever it's called. However, I do apologize for triggering your anger and will try to keep that in mind for future post. Thanks again and be safe.

Ya it's just odd given the issues I've had in the past. Why that number of all the numbers and contacts that I have this number that I've never seen before and is nowhere else on my phone is somehow attached itself to my phone. It won't let me remove it and it appears that if toggled on that number would receive notifications of my messages.

Who's upset? I'm just saying that we have no way of knowing what the number is or where it came from. Yes, someone may be able to explain "how" the number got put there, but, ultimately it got there through someone using the device(whether you or someone else) and that someone somehow allowed it or granted something access somewhere(whether they were aware of it or not) because android doesn't just allow anything to randomly apply itself to an android device without being granted access or given permissions. It is from some app that you installed, an email that you opened, a message you answered, some kind of multimedia content that you opened or something like that. Android doesn't allow things that were not expressly allowed by the user, whether knowingly or unknowingly. Hence my reply about you being the one that uses the device. Review your usage and trace your steps back to whatever may have been the thing that you allowed or clicked on unknowingly.

Well I believe it migrated over after rest and I restored my messages. The solution was to clear the cache and data of my messages app. The input is no longer there visibly at least. I will continue to battle those who wish to usurp my authority and permissions that encoded in my device. Thanks again.
that number is samsung's account verification number according to true caller id as to how it got there no idea..

Relax bro. Calmate wey.
What device is it? You may need to flash it fully or wipe from recovery. First, find out if they're logged into your Google, or using your Google with their own device and syncing it to their device so they get a constant stream of your information without you knowing. Google could sync your contacts, pictures, calendar etc. Occam's razor.
Go check google for authorized devices and unlink any that aren't you

In what ways are they "hacking" your device? What activities have you seen that confirm this?
Have you changed your passwords, logged out of all sessions, and turned on two-factor authentication on all of your social media profiles experiencing these issues? It sounds more like someone has access to some of your accounts, not your device specifically.
