[Q] SPDC Client just installed on my device - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was in my notification bar and saw that something called "SPDC client" installed. I clicked on it before I could screen shot (stupidly) and it led to nothing. Checked settings for downloaded, running, and all apps and couldn't find anything like that. Sounds super sketchy and I'm a bit freaked out. I don't download apps from stupid places, careful with my phone. Has anyone else had anything similar happen?

I'm a little less concerned, Samsung security policy update is listed as SPD in app settings, but I would sure love for someone to confirm samsung just pushed something out.

I received this a few minutes ago. When I tapped on it the Samsung app store opened. I agree this looks shady. I wasn't using my phone when it happened though so it could not have been manually triggered.

I just got the same thing. I am very curious as to what this is. Looking for anyone with more information. Searching Google just yielded this thread and this is as far as I've gotten.

SPDC Client installed
Hi All,
A few days ago SPDC Client installed automatically on my SAMSUNG Galaxy Note 3.?
Best regards,
Tom

I got this, too. So I'm going back to Xposed's module "xprivacy". NOTHING installs without my explicit permission.

Just had this install on my t mobile note 3.

Phone talks while in browser

So I just upgraded to the stock 3.11.6.05.22 rom and when I go to the browser it starts talking to me for everything I click. It does not do this any other time and I believe I check the correct setting to ensure this was disabled but it still happens. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
Did you feed it after midnight?
My phone has never talked to me.

[Q] Jelly Bean donwnload notifications won't go away

Hello,
My wife's Galaxy S3 just got updated to Jelly Bean and an very annoying issue has started to occur: download finished notifications of all files that have ever been downloaded on the device (I assume, there's a ton of them) have appeared in the drop down bar. If I press clear all they disappear, but reappear after a short while.
Any idea what's wrong and how can it be fixed?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Hiya mate, I've updated my S3 only moments ago and the same problem occurred on my phone. So I did as what you did and searched Google but nothing came up so I tried a few differebt things, including delete a few pictures I didn't need and taking out my SD card and evening stopping a few applications through the app manager but none of them worked. I then proceeded to go on Facebook on my phone and I saw a pic I found funny so I downloaded and the bright idea came from that. Would deleting my download history work and thankfully it did. To do this, click on your app button and the download app should be on the first screen, click on it and delete everything that is in the two tabs. If this doesn't work then I'm sorry but I don't know what else to try. I would provide pics of where the download app is what to delete but I'm on my phone at the moment and navigating on this page is so hard due to it not being mobile friendly.
IT WORKS!

[Q] some apps look different same phones

My wife and I have i605's. Some apps look different on either phone. The most notable is Facebook. I even took the apk straight from her phone, completely different look. Logged in as her on my phone, didn't change. Logged in as me on her phone, kept her look. That convinces me it is phone specific, but why? We're both on Mean Bean Reloaded v.5. A few other apps have done this in the past. It's bugging the hell out of me. :cyclops:

Have either of you used Xposed or anything similar to tweak the DPI settings?
It isn't just DPI. I mean like her action bar is at the bottom of the screen, swiping left and right goes to different menus, and even action icons look different. It's really odd
Is it possible our phones are identifying differently to the Play Store? I'm grasping, I know.

Certainly is a strange phenomenon. The reason I mention the DPI tweaks is because it can cause the app to display itself in tablet mode or something. I'm guessing you'd know if for some reason your phone description was changed in your build.prop. When you go to 'about phone' in the settings do both phones read i605?

Yeah. I checked it after she got home. I can't think of any good reason. Doesn't hurt anything, just kinda makes me OCD. I HATE when I can't explain something.

I can certainly understand your frustration. Especially if hers is better somehow.... I would ask if she was maybe using the Facebook beta app, but you said you even took the apk straight from her phone. So that would, to me, as I'm sure was your thought process too, eliminate the possibility of the Play Store recognizing your phones different. I've never used MeanBean to know if there is something within the rom doing it. Strange, sorry nobody seems to have an explanation.
I just checked. Even her desktop layout looks different! Is there some beta program done by them? I've only had an account for a couple years, and don't even care about it. I'll email Facebook and see what they can tell me. It appears that it may be account related, but then I'd think it would change logging in on my phone. It's confusing

Lg VuTalk getting shut down

Fount this just this morning. http://m.lg.com/ae/support/product-help/doc-1401122177743-ar-LGEME
never actually used it. Always delete the app on every rom i use
Yeah I had only used it once when I first got the phone. But a co worker said he saw a pop up when he tried to use it so it made me curious. Thought I'd spread the word of what I found.

After it uninstalled itself this morning, I am still left with a Vutalk uninstall app AND when in a call, I STILL SEE VUTALK on the call screen! What kind of half baked nonsense is this?
They should stop making junk like this, along with the rest of their bloat...
Sent from my LG-D802
Good riddance.
It's still comes up on an active call. Anyone know how to get rid of that?

Google Play should have installed an app that will delete the data.
The service (as stated) is going offline July 1st, so that may be why you can still see things.

It did, but that button in a call still remains as does the non functional Vutalk Uninstall app. Very odd...
Hey, sorry for hijacking- but have any of you been able to get a Vibrate On Call Connection (as opposed to an outgoing call dialed) feature to work? I've tried everything outside of flashing a new ROM & basically the consensus is that it's an issue with LG itself.
I only tried to use Vutalk once as I only my mother had it. The app just uninstalled itself a few minutes ago so I searched and found this thread.
If you're rooted you can get rid of the remnants with Xposed (not sure which module it is, though)
Edit: Found it, it's G2 TweaksBox => Calls Tweaks
lg vutalk went of lg server is there any way to reactivate this personally??
Hey all,
I'm actually really upset that Lg took away VUTALK.. it really ruined my day when I found out perhaps it was one of reasons I decided to go with Lg in the first place.. is there anyone that can tell me if there's anyway around this.. I really want to make this feature work again and cannot understand Why everyone felt it was so unbeneficial.. it was very useful to me.. please give me any advice I'm not exactly tech savvy when it comes to this stuff.. but I was thinking if servers down then there's no way for me to go around it?
I not use it never...anyway, i uninstalled VuTalk

Question Assistant Crashing Every Time

Hello everybody!
Ever since I bought this phone (Pixel 6) the assistant has never worked. Considering this is a Google phone, one would assume it would work no issue but joke is firmly on me!
I have been researching and have seen mixed messages from many websites where some users have the issue, others no issue! I have seen some people say to reinstall the Google App (tried this, didn't work) and other people said to completely restore to factory which I don't want to considering the hassle of getting everything back in order.
Does anybody have anything else I might be able to try?
Thanks in advance

I have seen this happen with a different launcher installed. It happen with me using Nova launcher back in the beginning of using the P6. Nova fixed the issue a week after people complained.

No the Browser should not block it.
But since you brought up the Brave Brower.
Did you disable Chrome?
I think the assist only works with Chrome. I am not a100% sure.
I am going to step aside and let someone else help. I really am just guessing at this topic.

I didn't disable it, I just never used it.
I did open it just now and tried to use the assistant with it and it didn't crash immediately. You might be on to something.
Maybe I am missing something though, if it was a browser based issue, why would that impact my ability to open say Spotify or "check the weather".
Maybe it's some other Google system/service I am after breaking?

I use Duck Duck Go browser.
I have tried the Brave browser a few months back for a short time.
Side note; I use Brave browser on my pc, because edge gives me trouble with networking for my smarthome devices and nas.
I am also having this issue after rooting and modding a few things. Reverted the changes but I am still having the issue. Updating Google App and downloading Google Assistant doesn't seem to do the trick either. Anyone with some insight into the issue know what's going on?
quick update - I installed Alexa to see if that would work, and it too doesn't appear to like me
Starting to think its a service based issue instead of a particular app.
Anybody who has guidance please chime in
Are you completely stock, no custom rom, kernel, Magisk mods?
Alexa will increase your four letter vocabulary to a new level.
Do you have the assistant set to more than 1 language? For me having the assistant set to English and dutch causes it to constantly.
I figured out for me it was dozing google play services
so, update on this. Firstly, I only have it using the one language.
Secondly, I got an update yesterday for the google app from the playstore and it appears to have fixed whatever the problem was!
