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 )
Anyone ever had this problem?
Google Play works, but no images load, neither screenshots, nor the app icons.
At the same time, the YouTube app starts throwing Network Errors and becomes absolutely useless (browser site working tho).
Hangouts and G+ can't log into your Google account.
Most curious thing? This problem disappears on 3G. Also, it gets away with time even on WiFi. But it appears quite often.
Does anyone have an explanation for this? Is this location related?
Sometimes it's really p***ing me off, especially when I flash a new ROM and I can't log into my G account...
I just want to know what the heck is going on...
Really, nobody had this problem? Is it only me?
I'm necrobumping this thread because I found the reason. I was recently installing Arch Linux and ran into the same problem. Not sure what's the ultimate reason for this, but it's because some Android versions set only your router as a primary DNS.
So just modify your DNS settings and use whatever nameservers you fancy, preferably the ones provided by your ISP, it won't happen again
Ever since the lollipop update, my phone has been getting this Capacity for NFC services full: Not enough capacity to enable to service. Try disabling one or more services. I do not have NFC on, and when i do turn it on the same thing happens. It gives the option to cancel or change service. When i click on change service it goes to setting and says, Unfortunately, Settings has stopped. How do i stop this error?
Same issue here
Hi there.
Unfortunately I don't have a solution but just wanted to let you know that I have exactly the same problem. My Sony Xperia Z2 updated to Lollipop last friday and since then I get this annoying "capaciteit voor NFC-services is vol" message (it's in Dutch ) When I click on 'change settings' a new window is opened where it is not possible to change any setting. Switched NFC on and off but doesn't seem to do anything. The message keeps popping up irregularly...
Very annoying issue. Hope someone finds a solution.
Exaclty the same issue here

Try Factory Reset
There must be a better way than just a factory reset, and not sure if that would actually solve the issue.
Just chiming in that I updated to Lollipop on my Z3 last night and am encountering the same issue.

Just got this problem myself this morning on my Z2 running Lollipop. Did you manage to find a fix?
I can't seem to find anything other than this post concerning this issue.
Thanks.
Same Problem
I did a factory restore and I am still getting the same issue.
Same here
I'm experiencing the same thing. Upgraded to Lollipop last month, but this only started a couple days ago. Not after installing a new app. Got low on disk space, which triggered a back up alert. Cleaned out my pics, but then started getting this error.

I think I figured it out. Suggested a bunch of apps that had bee recently updated on reddit, and the common denominator was the Scotiabank app, updated a few days ago.
Uninstalled, no NFC errors. I have written the dev, and hope for a response soon. That seems to be the cause, so check it out and post if it works for you.
Solution: Clear Google Play Services and NFC Service Data in Safe Mode
Don't know if this is a solution but it worked for me.
1) Boot into Safe Mode.
2) With NFC off, clear all data from NFC Service and Google Play service via Settings>Apps>All.
2.a) Clear data from any Mobile Payment/Banking App and any NFC enabled app.
2.b) Under the running apps, select via the top right dots to view cached apps.
2.c) Delete (Stop) them all. It can be tedious as some won't stop before others but persist and it can be done.
3) Restart phone and error is gone.
thanx, worked for me as well. remainings of android pay caused the problem on my mobile.
Hi Guy !
Same problem here.
Unfortunately no Scotia Bank, noting...
And when i get this message, it says that is current capacity used is.... 0%!!!
I begin to hate this phone :s
Thanks if you have any tip.

I've got a Z3 compact that I recently downgraded from LP to KK (no root). Upon booting into KK for the first time, a toast notification appeared stating that the NFC firmware was being updated. After that, the google play services updated and then this stupid "Capacity for NFC Services Full" message kept popping up. It only seems to pop up randomly and only goes away when I disable NFC, but I can't seem to get rid of it using any of the methods mentioned in this thread. Has anyone else ran into this? I've completely wiped my phone twice and continue to have the same issue.
All google searches result in useless forum threads about the Scotia Bank app causing this issue. I don't have that app, so it's gotta be something else.

It's caused by latest versions of google play services app. Older versions doesn't have this bug. Uninstall google play services update and "Capacity for NFC Services Full" message is gone forever. But I know It isn't a solution Only google can fix it...

Yeah, I figured Google Play Services was the issue, but if I uninstall and roll back to the original version the phone ships with, it isn't compatible with Google apps (music, youtube, etc). I was just hoping there was a better fix. For now, I've simply disabled NFC and turn it on before I use Android Pay. The extra clicks aren't really a big deal since I don't have a fingerprint scanner and need to touch the screen to unlock anyway. Plus, I don't use AP often enough to bother me. Thanks for the confirmation though!
Edit - after further thought, if Google Play Services is the cause, then why aren't more people affected by this and why wasn't my device affected all along. I only recently rolled back to KK and this issue started. The Google Play Services version is still the same, right?
As an Android developer who is working on NFC payment in a mobile wallet, I can tell that our team identified the source of the problem to reside in Sony's Android modifications. No other platform produces these errors. I can't yet link the forum thread, but google for "sony xperia off host apdu service capacity full", the result from talk.sonymobile.com will show further details.
So you can probably stop looking for the cause in Google products, or 3rd party wallet/banking apps. They (we) also suffer from this issue.
Sony isn't responding in the referenced thread, so this may not be fixed soon.
Sorry to tell bad news.
my phone has this issue today, it began right AFTER i did a factory reset... just wanted to clear it off and start again... now this??

The scary thing is this post was made 30-JAN-2016 and it's still being experienced.
Bought a Chinese Refurb Xperia Z3 Compact.
Android 4.4.4
Build 23.0.A.2.98
I'd only installed FTP Server Pro (to test 802.11ac bandwidth) by The Olive tree on an otherwise stock Z3C and after enabling NFC, the "NFC full" error message started popping up.
I followed the instructions above and managed to clear the cache/data on everything except one Twitter service which I couldn't stop.
After a reboot from safe mode, the phone is not showing the NFC error message.
I have enabled NFC and used it with a couple of NFC Bluetooth speakers and NFC tags around the house and it's working without errors.
Fingers cross, I won't see this message again.
Thnx
My Z3 Compact was running Android 5.0.2 since 2.5 years and I never encountered this pop-up. I never used NFC.
I changed to another mobile operator, and as soon as I replaced the SIM in my phone, I started getting this pop-up, saying that the space is 174% used.
I suspect the SIM being pre-configured for Orange Cash, although the application is not installed on my phone.
I tried the various workarounds mentioned in this thread and on Sony's forum, but none worked.
This phone is rooted, and I often get this pop-up when some "sudo" tasks are launched (kill process, freeze application, ...).
I have run out of ideas...
For those who still strugle with this shi* and clearing cache is not working:
1. Download and install any payment app, doesn't matter, won't use. I have Tap & go
2. Enable NFC
3. Go to Touch & pay in device section
4. Change from google play to installed app.
You can now disable NFC, no popup should occure
Disclaimer: I have already posted this in the S2 specific forum, unfortunately a lack of response is why I am also posting this here.
Hello Everyone
Start off by saying I have little to no Android knowledge (rooting, custom ROMs, modding or programs for such things), however I have basic knowledge of linux and the command line.
My S2 GT-i9100 rapidly heats up and its battery is *unimaginably* and randomly depleted by Google Play Services and quickly renders it useless as a device. I want to fix it and not turn it into a brick.
I got the phone from a family member from Europe (I live in Australia), who had used it for about 6 months. When I got it, it was already unlocked and rooted by some phone place over there. I didn't have any problems.
Recently however Google Play Services (size 127 MB) (version 9.2.56) has randomly started doing *something*, this despite no mobile broadband and almost no internet usage from wifi either to invoke it. Considering it is on ICS (no idea how to upgrade, or whether i should upgrade, or what to upgrade to) it has to be either a bug or a virus considering all those Android exploits in the news recently.
To fix it whenever it occurs, I clear the RAM twice then go into the list of Applications and Force Stop Google Play Services (more than once if the button isn't greyed out).
I tried to disable the components of Google Play Services(listed below) but the problem continued AND it erased the names of my contacts meaning I was left with a bunch of numbers with no name.
Google Bookmarks Sync
Google Play services
Google Services Framework
Google Account Manager
Network Location
Google Contacts Sync
Some details:
Wi-Fi use only (and nonexistent nowadays), no mobile broadband
GT-i9100 running Android 4.0.3 (ICS)
ROM, unknown if original / custom, has a T-Mobile animation screen on bootup and shutdown
It also has a yellow triangle at the bottom when I turn it on (don't care about cosmetics)
Rooted with CWW (no idea about how that works or what it means) and SuperSU (i do know how root user works in linux)
Root Browser + Terminal Emulator installed (my doing)
Google Authenticator + Microsoft Account Authenticator (i don't wanna screw up anything with these, got codes for google authenticator, need to research microsoft)
Call history and text messages (I would like to keep these and would like to know how to backup the phone first of all)
So I'm looking to figure out what would be the best course of action to fix this without screwing up anything. I know the standard solution would be a factory reset but I don't have any backups (also don't know how to), don't want to brick the phone and don't know what it would actually do, and even if it worked, how to root the phone again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi,
After the last update, (965f) I've been struggling for a very long time installing Apps. Whether it's with Google Play or downloaded Apps. Does anyone have experience with it? I apologize for my bad English
That was the first thing I noticed coming from a OnePlus 5T, installing apps is twice as slow on the S9+.
Yes thats true. My S6 Edge and S7 Edge they are much faster then S9+ (but after last update). I dont understand why
****ty NANDs, probably. Anything that pushes the memory is slower - installing apps, copy/pasting, scanning, etc.
Did you enabled McAfee Antivirus on the System Maintenance app?
No, i have disabled McAfee
Solved with Hard reset.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s9-plus/help/slow-app-updates-installation-t3793278/page2
I FOUND A FIX!
I finally fixed my problem you need to disable Google app the white circle with the colorful G in the middle by Google LLC im not sure why it causes this my moms s9+ where i bought from the same samsung store doesnt have this problem hopfully someone can find the root cause of this. Disable Google uninstall any updates and make sure auto update is turned off it fixes all the problems.
Edit: When either bluetooth or google app is disabled this problem doesnt arise. The actual root of the problem was caused by Logitech Bluetooth adapter being in my house I unplugged it and it all went away. I discovered this by finding an issue tracker made to google by a user from a different thread.
Thread available here with 12 pages of posts https://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...3617403/page12
