Hello, I recently had to get a new phone and I was able to get a quick cheap back up for the time being. This phone looked decent on the outside but once I booted it up I wanted to cry... I am coming from using the Galaxy S2 and this phone is TERRIBLE compared to even anything similar! It is very very VERY slow and constantly freezing / crashing when I try to use Facebook or Viber. I just recently managed to root the stupid thing after weeks of trying, I used eroot if anyone wants to know. I installed Titanium Backup and tried to delete all the adware and junk apps that come with the phone but there isn't really much to delete, and the few I wanted to delete it said "UNABLE TO FIND .APK" so now I am stuck, I don't know how to fix the issue, it says it only has like under 30MB of space left and sometimes a popup shows saying that the device will become slow due to low memory. Yet I cannot even uninstall anything! All I have is Facebook, Gmail and Viber. Is there a way to maybe fix this or change the default storage to my 32GB SD card? I really don't want a phone that freezes and crashed upon attempting to open the dialer to make a damn call... Please anyone with any info let me know, I might just sell this thing and not even waste my time.

Hello,
i have this mobile for about half year, but have there some problems, that i still not able solve.
1) I see problems with lags and unwanted pausing at some games. But still not found why. And how. Because in some games i do not click on pause button, but game when i moving fingers on display randomly go to pause, or go to black screen or stop respond for while. It look as weak procesor, or it is problem of memory? This device have low memory, but i try kill every aplication that i can, but problem still persist. And i have also problem kill some aplications. I kill them and they start again. And not are because because must run.
I also try disable builded antivirus but too without changes.
In some cases mobile start wifi conection or data transfer, that i have set off.
I dont know how i can receive email when i have disabled wifi and data.
And two times mobile send premium sms that i unable control, and not figured in mesages, and not know that i send that kind of sms. I call operator to block all premium numbers to awoid this robbing.
2) android market is extremly chaotic and it look there is security problem - google play. Is posible found most easy way how to block some aplications to accest to sensitive operations? (acces to call, sms, and other services?)
Im thing there is too much many aplications that want baseless access to some services.
3) is possible mount on this phone Windows mobile 6.5? Because that system been most suited for me and in basic have most aplications that i need, and have also a loot prety good games. On android are there minimal.
Or some way to modify rom and kick and kill stupid aplications and system layouts.
Please can somebody good, frienldy help?
thanks.
Still any idea?
Hey again.
I use automatic actualization on my phone and now have latest android.
But now have problems with camera.
And hard to find if is posible and how install previous version of android.
And mainly i like know where is problem and how solve it when phone randomly in aplications and games go to unvanted pause. I have original screen protect that been in box with new phone. That pause problem been in old and in new android is too. But is random, some time often and some time minimaly. I still unable found cause.
Yesterday my phone ran out of battery and it took me a while to get back to my charger. I came back late and I put my phone to recharge over night. I wake up and start my phone and it's like it's never been used before. It has done some sort of reset by itself. All these help popups comes up about how to use slides and motion etc etc. My gmail account is not registered to my phone anymore. I go through my applications and now I start to realize that something is seriously wrong.
Some of my apps are missing on my home screen and when I look for them they seem to be uninstalled, so I try to install these apps again and get the "unknown error code during application install -24" error. This is the case for 3 of my paid applications. Portfolio stocks, swift key and maps with me.
I have more problems though, 50 % of all my apps that are still installed will not even start, like all of my games for example, Every time I try to start one of these I get "Unfortunately, application has stopped" This is also the case for some other apps like skype and spotify. Most of my apps have completely dropped the app settings and information. All my whats app conversations are gone for example and my number isn't even registered anymore.
Some apps still have the icon on my home screen but when I try to start these (like googles for example) it says "application not installed" even though the icon is there.
So as you can tell there some major problem has occurred when my phone turned itself of yesterday.
Now I'm afraid my phone ****ed itself up to much to actually be recovered with is a ***** but I'm wondering how the hell could this happen? What kind of information has deleted itself and why is this possible?
And is there anything you guys think I can do except resetting the whole device. My phone is not rooted and I regret not making backups.....
I have a galaxy s3 I9300 with android 4.1.2
Regards
Victor
factory reset. don't know why it happened
Hello there! I have been having a bit of a problem lately. I own a BLU Dash 5.0 simunlocked from factory. It's a double sim model, which I have two sims, since the companies are spanish, let's call them Green Sim and Blue Sim (since that's how they are color coded in my status bar). It is also running Android Jelly Bean 4.2. Here is the problem. Ever since of March 20, a Chinese app appeared on my home screen, I don't know how, something called "Mobile Video" but the content was in a foreign Asian language. I suspect of my friend since I lent it to him for 15 minutes and then it appeared. Aside of this, the wifi and the Green Sim 3G was turned on.
I clicked on the app curious of it was something my friend downloaded from me, but then the app prompted me two options, I didn't know what it said since again, it was Asian. Next, I proceeded to uninstall it, going to my apps list, I was surprised to see another mysterious app, "Push_Down", that was the name. I uninstalled both Mobile Video and Push_Down. I thought I fixed the problem. Wrong.
Next day when I woke up, I found two new apps on my homescreen, and again, the Wifi and Green Sim 3G was on.These were Chinese also. I uninstalled them both and found once again "Push_Down" in my apps. After I uninstalled them, I thought the problem was finally fixed. Wrong again. Since this event, about every 2 or 3 hours, my Wifi and Green Sim 3G turn on automatically, but haven't downloaded anything new, one, because I have no credit left, and two, I have no internet at home. Ever since, daily I wake up, the same problem, the Wifi and 3G are on. I checked my SD Card, I checked my Phone Storage, both with 2 Antivirus (Avast!, and Lookout Mobile) and with Addons Detector. Surprisingly, nothing has appeared.
My last option is what hurts me most, to reset my phone, which I don't want to do since I have lots of apps installed, progress made with certain games and etc, etc. Also, I am not a root user, so I haven't rooted and won't root my phone.
Now, can anyone please help me? I am very annoyed at this happening everyday!
same problem...cheinese apps keep reinstalling
I too have had this problem for a few weeks now. Got a Chinese smartphone for Christmas (ok i know thats the first mistake, but it was worth a try for the money). mfaction royale mp720 (mpie comes up on the startup screen). Anyway i realised there where a few Chinese apps that came with it (pinyin and a app with a orange icon with a squirrel logo on it) so i unistalled these without problem. One chinese app i couldn't uninstall so i disabled it in the app settings
Everything had been working fine without problem and had been very happy with the phone until a week or so ago. started getting the apps described above installing. These include 'push_down' 'push_collect' 'filegogo' 'mobile video' and some others with chinese writing on them. I also get my phone setting itself to mute when these apps reappear. Keep uninstalling them but they keep coming back. Have tried AVG and Antimalware but they only flag things up as they install themselves, not the thing thats doing the installing. I thought that google account might be a problem so changed password and reset my phone to factory default. As a test i didn't connect back to google account. No joy. Although some apps have not reappeared some have and this morning a new one so i don't think its google account.
I did read some Chinese phones can have the malware embedded into the firmware but it's been fine for months. Perhaps there is a delay so your not likely to send the phone back then the malware begins. If this is the case then the only way round would be to root the phone then find the app or apps that are doing this. Not sure if it's easy to root one of these phones.
Anyone else had these symptoms after a full factory reset?. Anyone been able to sort it out? Anyone know of a guide to root his phone?
Hmmmmm....

Actually, as much as my experience from rooting, I haven't done it once again after a bad event I had, like almost bricking an old phone I had which for my good luck there was a way to restore it Ever since, I won't root anymore unless there exists a ROM backup by the manufacturer. But still, I don't know what's causing this. My phone has been fine since stock, I have more than 2 months with it! The problem started since last Thursday, which is why I suspect it's an app I downloaded or ad I clicked on. Any ideas?
(Also, thanks for your reply )
Good day,
What I'm trying to do has sort of been asked before; I found a few posts discussing something of the sort, but most of them were quite old/outdated and others were mainly about how to do it without root (and were quite unsuccessful). As it is what I feel might be a rather common procedure I thought it would be good to ask it again, to see if it has been figured out and to help future migrators.
The problem is as follows. I have an old phone (phone A) on which I have a WhatsApp account registered to SIM card A. SIM card A no longer exists however, and the phone is being used with SIM card B, which is not connected to the WhatsApp account; people still send messages to phone number A. This phone is rooted, and I have access to all* apps that might be useful for this. The phone is on Android 7.0.
Now, I want to move the WhatsApp account tied to phone A and SIM card A to a new phone: phone B. Phone B has SIM card B, is also rooted, and is also on Android 7.0. Important to note is that I want WhatsApp to remain tied to SIM card A.
So what I'm looking for is a method to do the above. I've tried some things myself, but I have failed thus far, so if you know how to do it successfully feel free to skip the rest!
Now, I initially thought this should be easy to do with backups, via Titanium Backup Pro. I backed up the app and data on device A, restored it on B, and voila, working WhatsApp account. This is true, but not completely; the notifications didn't really work anymore. I only received the messages if I had the app open on the screen, never when it was in the background. I searched around a bit and it seems to be related to push notifications, although I couldn't really figure it out. Someone suggested to instead download an old WhatsApp apk, install that, restore only the data with Titanium, and then update the app in the Play store. This works a little bit better, but still not completely. From time to time the messages will come in by themselves, but still very often I find that I need to manually open the app and wait for about 5 seconds before receiving everything. So still somehow the notifications/background process/something else seems to be off. Note that I've given the app all types of permissions, locked it from closing, made sure the battery saving options aren't killing it, and so on. It's close to normal functionality, but I can't figure out how to get it exactly right.
*I have Titanium Backup Pro and I'm willing to pay for other apps
Hi, apologies for any obvious errors, I've been out of android for a few years
My friend has given me her daughters Samsung J5 to sort out as she was getting pop up ads every 2 or 3 seconds rendering the phone unusable.
I've now realised the following: it's a Chinese phone which is rooted and I have no idea what software it is running but I have factory reset and run Malwarebytes which showed 2 apps as having trojans "com.mediatek.theme.mode" and "MessageData"
I've disabled both apps and the problem seems to have stopped but I'm a bit worried as they call themselves system apps, and I don't want to brick her phone!
Has anybody heard of these two so called system apps, and am I going to ruin her life of Snapchat by disabling them? I've Googled and can't find any specific info on them so I'm wondering if whatever android version it's running has had the malware written into it and they're not actual system apps?
Thanks for being patient with me!!
if the phone is rooted install twrp, make a back-up - especially the EFS one - and start to disable/remove and test
if anything wrong you can restore
and also system aps can be disabled or uninstalled - just be careful
use service disable app for samsung - think is on apkmirror
good luck
the chinese crap phones are constantly sending infos from the phone to the chinese servers
