Hi
I have a problem in my phone that whenever I make a phone call or send a text message a commerical appears in my screen..it's really annoying
it appears in my whole screen and I can remove it by pressing the X button on the corner
is there anything I can do? I tried to remove some apps and clear my browser's history but no luck
Have you rooted your phone?
Have you installed any apps/mods/whatever from anywhere other than the Play Store?
If yes to the last one (unless it was an XPosed Module), uninstall it, then reboot and see if the problem re-appears.
If you have uninstalled everything other than what came on the phone to begin with and you still have the problem, copy all your music/photos/etc off the phone, then use FlashTool to re-install the ROM and choose the wipe SD card option, then set the phone up again from scratch and hope for the best.

I didn't root my phone and I didn't install any apps outside the play store.. I will try the uninstall every app method and I will see
this sounds like an app you have installed, try uninstalling some recently installed apps and see if your problem goes away
GoSMS is always doing this if u are not a premium user.

I was doing an update from the app store, on of the downloads seemed like it was hung on the install. Rebooted the phone, when I went back in Super User, Titainum Backup, Android App Store, Amazon App Store, HTC Sense plus a ton of other apps are missing, Astro file manager was still working and it looks like they are still on the SD card, but not being read by the apps manager. I cannot download or install anything from the web. Any ideas.
You might have to factory reset that sucker

Update when I tried to manually connect using adb I get error: device offline
Trying factory reset and it is just sitting at the white HTC screen after reboot :-(
I am now afraid to try another power button reset.
Well VZW is sending me a refurb phone tomorrow. Since they did not ask if I rooted (which I did), once they get my old will they check for root. The phone totally is F***ked only reboots while trying to install the OTA. Just a word caution. I hope I TBU re-installed and get all my apps back. :-(

Why didn't you hboot the unsigned ruu? Also, what radio were you on? What rom? Froyo or ginger? WE NEED DETAILS.
Whenever I try to download just about any app from the market...the download never starts and after some time it just pauses itself. I've been having this issue since yesterday when I tried partitioning my sdcard for apps2sd but failed so reformatted it all back to fat32...tried using different roms and even restored factory image using rsdlite but the problem wont go away...any suggestions?
Connecting with Wifi or 3G or both? What rom are you using?

i got the same problem with you, i am using Eclair-strike-back rom.
Still, I dun have a solution for this problem... just trying to use some Chinese market apps
Delete market cache and restart phone, then try again.
Give these fixes a whirl.
First, if you have Titanium Backup, go into it and hit the settings and then try Market Fix, might be called Market Doctor. See if that works.
If not then try this. Go into phone settings, manage apps, Market, clear cache, clear updates. Then go into Market Updater and clear updates. Close out and open Talk and sign in (Gmail/market UID password), Talk settings, unchecked Automatically Sign In.
Open market and try to download app. Should work. Talk is related to market so if that gets screwed with, it trickles down to other apps.
Rooted my phone just for this app. Great thinking!
Recently my Samsung Galaxy Mini went into a boot loop. To solve this, I had to factory reset the phone, deleting all my apps. When I log onto google play, and navigate to my previous apps, it says they are still installed, and won't let me reinstall them. Is there any way round this?
Thanks
how about the backup?did you always backup app?
if not,i think you can redownload using another website like appbrain...after that you can automatic update from google play..this is just my thought
Also you can enter to Play Store from your PC, and install all the apps that you need (clicking on the Install button, the app will be installed in your phone).
my android apps
go to Google play and my android apps on right hand side or hit this link https://play.google.com/apps
it will show you all the apps that u have installed on your phone, now click on app one by one and click on install button through web, in this way you can install the apps that u have loose
please press thank you button if u like this.
The thing is, when I go to "my apps", it says I already have them installed, when I don't. The install button is greyed out.

I had the same problem. The solution is simple however. I'm using Cyanogenmod for my rom. It turns out you have to download and install the google play apk.
As soon as I rebooted, I was asked for my Google account and once I entered the information, everything, including my apps, automatically downloaded and installed. Of course, it's important to note that I backed up my account to my Google account. I highly recommend this.
So, I think if you just find the gapp.apk for your rom, you'll be ok.
Hope that helps,

just wipe the data cache and dalvik cache using cwm
Hi,
I recently bought a le max 2 from GB with Gapps and multi-language and everything was working perfectly, but i wanted to update the phone, so i decided to install the stock chinese rom (eui 5.9.021s) through the stock recovery. Now, when I try to open the PlayStore it always stops and closes. Furthermore almost all my Gapps (YouTube, gmail, play games, play music...) seems to be installed (when I go to the options they result as installed) but I can't see them anywhere. I have already tried to uninstall and re-install it, but I have this problem as well.
Can someone help me please?
That is the problem of the Le Max 2. You have to go to app management, uninstall all the problematic apps manually and then reinstall them again.
Thanks for your answer!
Your method works for most of gapps (for example if I uninstall gmail and then install it again its icon will appear) but it's not the same for PlayStore... I tried to uninstall and re-install it but it doesn't work(there's its icon but i can't open it). I thought it could be a problem of Google play services but i can't even uninstall it.
Another strange thing I noticed is that when I click on the PlayStore it immediately pops up a message that says that PlayStore stopped working but it keps running in the background and it closes just when I Press a button ("ok" or "cancel") of the message that doesn't allow me to use it.
Have you got any advice for me about this issue?
I recommend to install via custom recovery, eg. TRWP.
Download your gapps package here:
http://opengapps.org
After than, flash it via custom recovery.
100% working method!

That's the problem of the phone, it wouldn't let some apps, particularly the system apps, to be uninstalled completely. When you try to reinstall the apps on top of the existing one, problem arises. Now, I am unable to get the IR Remote Control working again. If your phone is completely stock ROM and has not yet been rooted, back up all your apps and data, do a factory reset and reinstall them. If it still doesn't work, you might have to reinstall the apps via TWRP as rqzor99 suggested.
Thank you amowagou and razor 99 for the help you are giving me.
My phone has never been rooted and i have not installed any custom recovery (what's more this was the First time I tried to flash a ROM .
Probably if i do a factory reset, Google play services and the PlayStore will be deleted from my phone because the stock chinese ROM doesn't include them and then I could make completely new installation of them as amowagou said. Probably I'll try this solution because it allows me to have them without having to modify my phone.
As well I also apreciated the advice of razor.
(Obviously if someone else has other advises for me they are welcome!
I'll let you know if following amowagou's advice the problem will be solved
If you have stock ROM (your Chinese ROM) without Chinese market, called Lestore - there isnt another option, you have to flash gapps via custom recovery. Be careful with choosing package - arm or arm64 - TWRP tells you if you have wrong one and it will dont let you install it, no worries.
If you have Lestore in your stock ROM, just find gapps and install it.
Thats it
a friend of mine has an Xperia Z3 imitation. his phone has app like netalpha, key chain and others with funny names installed. thing is, they are installed as system apps. cant uninstall them. the phone does not connect to a pc. it simply charges when plugged. tried resetting it but the apps are not erased. rooting using Kingoroot failed and phone is unusable.
Adds pop up all over the [lace and when it has mobile data or wifi turned on, it downloads and installs apps silently though i have noted that one app "com.google.keyguard" asks for install permision. any ideas???
kindly assist.
My uncle had the same infections symptoms except he got GNote3 and all i did was to use CM Security apps to remove all those nasty malware. Hope it helps.
Root the device using the following method and then remove all those apps using super su
[WARNING : I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO YOUR DEVICE. DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK]
1. Download the file XperiaRoot_ALP.zip to your smartphone or computer from this link
https://yadi.sk/d/
and extract the zip file.
2. Open the folder you extracted, called XperiaRoot, and you will see an ALP folder that contains the following .apk files: Busybox, Recovery, Root, and SuperSU. A folder named XperiaRoot will be generated. If you unzipped the archive on your computer, you'll have to transfer the extracted files somewhere on your smartphone.
3. Go to your smartphone's Settings > Security menu and check the the option to install applications from Unknown sources.
4. Install the Root.apk file. Open the app and tap on the ‘Root’ button, then wait for it to root your device.
5. Install the Busybox.apk and Recovery.apk files in the same way.
6. Open the installed Recovery app and tap ‘Install Recovery’.
7. Boot into Recovery mode! First, power off your device. Then, press the Power on button, and when the LED light starts flashing, press the volume up or down buttons a couple of times. If that doesn't work, reboot, activate USB Debugging on your phone, and use Minimal ADB or ADB from the Android SDK to reboot the handset into recovery mode by typing "adb reboot recovery" inside the terminal.
8. Once you are into recovery mode, select Install and choose the SuperSU.zip file from the ALP folder.
9. Reboot your phone after flashing. You will see SuperSU app in App drawer, and the next step is to check for root access by using any Root Checker app from the Play Store.
All the best

Yes i did disable them, here is the list of the apps i disabled:
Android SystemWebview
AppManage (X2)
Avatar
BeautySnap
EmailService
Google Play Store (because it auto runs and downloads apps)
GuardService
Homescreen tips
Keychain
Kiwi
LocationServices
netalpha(x3)
org.rain.ball.update
org.snow.down.update
PhoneService
SettingService
SystemLocker
Wolf
Most of app in the list above have version numbers "1.0" or something like that, which is diff from the 4.xx on authentic apps in the phone.

it should direct you to supersu. else' try to install supersu.apk from other sources and clear its data to reset to default settings. it is x-bo right? x-bo's phone has supersu binary and it is in debug build.
Bought an dirt cheap Mi3 from a local tech forum via postage. Turned out it had a locked bootloader, not rooted and was laced with malware as system.. it was displaying ads/apps.. Fast forward.. This is how I solve my malware problem for the moment.. To temporarily CURE your device, install/sideload both Secdroid and DNS66 from fdroid/play. Firstly, turn on airplane mode, secure phone with Secdroid using its 2nd option. Lastly, start DNS66 and let it run at boot. This solved my problem and I've never seen any ad/app after. Phone's cool and data's back normal..
i had the same problem on a chinese phone, I had the "Geocode Service" trojan, anyway, I managed to disable it.
try removing the battery from the phone (if this is possible, I know the battery should be built in, but there is a connector that can be removed if you remove that black tape that covers the battery) when plugging into the PC, maybe it will enter in the correct mode

Xperia clone ? Its a Mediatek phone.
First Factory Reset... And do not connect to internet (WIFI,Data,etc)
Try to disable Netalpha. (setting-Apps..... )
Root with Kingroot or Kingoroot PC versions ( but need Debug Mode active in phone ), install Link2Sd and freeze suspicious apps (apps with two names) and try to unisntall.
Netalpha app itself install with system permission. So cannot be unistalled even with root. I instal Busybox and change permission and attributes and rm the file.
I hope helps
Sorry for my english.....
