Please join me and helps by adding more common problems that you found on other subject.
[HTC Amaze 4G] seansk:
People are always going to have questions and problems....thats why these forums exist, we just try to minimize the common problems...once binary, hasoon and I put those stickies almost all the questions about, unlock, recovery and root went away...now most common problems are how to get back to stock...I'm going to be busy this month, I have other responsibilities in my life and I tried to help as much as I could (when I had more time off) and will continue to help in my time off. There are some things that need fixing some zip files... I figured out why people are having problems with them...and get stuck at fastboot etc. There are also 3 different kernels not 2, one is faux's one is for tmobile that is for the latest update 1.3 and another one for the older ones like 1.6 and 1.5. xboarder has the old boot.img kernel as the orinigal on his kernel flasher tool site, he needs to put another one up for the latest one...I will try to put all this in my stickie and update all that stuff, so people can find it in one place.

I will make a good page about it once I have more time and patience!!! I also need to update my zip file for flashing recovery, I don't know much about programming but someone mentions that there is a syntax error in the way the scripts are programmed both by xboarder and binary flash.bat (when ran under administerator and in some other circumstances) so does not execute in the current directory... when I get time I'm going to try to update my script which is basically binary's and I just added an extra script for mac and linux and added adb and all that stuff for mac and linux... I'll probably edit and update xboarders kernal flasher (to execute in current directory) IF people have problems with it, but for now I havn't seen any

for now when people run those scripts tell them to just run it and not run it as administrator.

P.s, I'll add a s link to this thread under my sticky, under problems.
[HTC Amaze 4G] antiquezip:
I'll need to do some research on how to use the code to shorten a link ([a href .. something, I forgot, haven't using it for years on forum]. Tomorrow I will link yours, Binary's and hasoon2000's sticky into this as a Pre-root and Technical FAQ. Mine is purely Post-flashed and root and all I do is just monitoring threads to noticed common problems that newbies keep repeatedly asks and add them in here - hopes to saves Devs, Themers and Geeks from wasting their time on all too common jokes/headaches

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tarwedge:
Hi guys,

The first thing I did when I got my Nexus is root the phone and install the wireless tether for root users. It worked fine the first few times I ran it, but now whenever I hit start tether it starts up and mentions I should check the error log. At this point the tether has failed to broadcast a network even though the app thinks it's working, and everything is ok in the error log except these 3 steps:

Setting ad-hoc mode

Setting essid

Setting channel

These 3 flag as failed, I have tried other wifi tethering apps and get basically the same result where they won't start up or they start but fail to broadcast.

My wifi works fine, I can connect to networks via wifi without any issues, but I'm really stumped as to why the tethering has stopped working.

Anyone have any ideas? I'm running the stock ROM still as root while I wait for a good port of the forthcoming CM9, so if someone wants to suggest a stable, fully working ROM to flash in the meantime that's fine too :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tarwedge:
An update, I flashed a couple of different roms and this issue has now persisted accross all of them. Nobody has any experience with the same problem?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
do you have the most recent version of wifi tether?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tarwedge:
As far as I'm aware yes, it is also failing to work with other wifi tethers (have tried barnacle tether which does exactly the same thing)

I'm starting to think it might be hardware somehow, but other than this the wifi works fine for connecting to networks.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Dexter_nlb:
I made a little update of the Mail.apk, so you can choose your own lockscreen policy, instead of just having 2 options you get all of them.

this is ONLY for the honeycomb 3.2.1 / HTC v.3.55.1114.31.

install instructions.

download Mail.zip , and extract Mail.apk and install into /system/app and probably make a backup of the Mail.apk you already got.

root explorer is one way of copying to the folder or use TotalCmd for android.

edit: Included a "update.zip" versions as well now

download htcmail321-patched-update.zip and install from recovery as alternative.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gerardo66:
Hi everyone

just dropped my Gn two times yesterday

never happen before

i would like to replace my housing BUT only find the battery cover and the middle part not the part (scratched) which is next to the screen

Any one know where i can get?

thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
Ebay?

My grandma beat me down and took my nexus. Sent from a jitterbug with beats by dre.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pacifik:
From what I've read the housing is fused to the screen and glass making for a difficult repair.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tauruslei:
No one said this so I'm gonna say it for the poor GNex : OUCH!

And I agree that the glass seems kinda fused to the body so might be hard to replace a new one.

Hope you never drop it again!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gerardo66:
yea

this part with screen

so the only part on ebay is the two back one
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ulver:
At least your screen didn't break. Its a phone! You'll probably drop it again. Or get a case and cover it up

I've been getting ads in my notification area a lot lately. And I don't even know what app causes it.

When I click on it, it takes me to web browser to a random games site every time.. this time it was street wars..

I uploaded a screenshot of it. So anybody got any idea what's causing it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaytronics:
I use to have the same problem. I am using LBE Privacy Guard. You can set up custom DATA access and denial rights for each app. And you can restrict access to the phones hardware info as well.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Telyx:
You can get AirPush Detector or Addons Detector from the Market. Either one should tell you which app(s) is/are responsible for the notification spam.

Yea try using dolphin. Also check out adfree app in the market.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barbo:
I doubt it has to do with your browser (but I am notsure about that). I was getting a green plus sign(others have gotten a white star with a red dot) in the notification area which led to a webpage about being a prize winner - SPAM. I found the culprit in my case: an app called "Bloat Freezer". Once removed, ads were gone. There are many more apps plus some live wallpapers that do the same thing.

As Telyx mentioned above, try Airpush Detector and Addons Detector (free in market) to find the offending app and then uninstall that app. In my case, airpush detector didn't find anything but when using addons detector and fiiltering for "push notifications", I found the problem.

Good luck!

Edit:

Another option to get rid of this crap:

Airblocker - Airpush Block

ByQ Develop

(get it in the market)
[Galaxy S II General] AXIS of Reality:
Today, I turned on my phone to discover a strange new widget/icon on my homescreen that looked like a blue magnifying glass and was labelled 'Search'.

Of course, being suspicious I removed the widget. I then looked through the list of installed widgets and apps, but nothing unusual was there.

Later when I opened the internet browser, the usual google homepage looked a bit different - identical, tabs and all, except for the search button appearing the same as in the widget and the Google logo missing (as if it hadn't loaded yet).

I've reset my homepage to Google, but in my history the bogus sites are:

start.infospace.com

searchmobileonline.com

Scanned with both AVG and Avast, but neither picked anything strange up.

I have since found out that this is adware that some free apps on the Market are using to generate revenue. In my case I have since confirmed it came from Brightest Flashlight Free, an app with over 1 million downloads and 5 star average.

Here's an article explaining it *http://www.pcworld.com/article/245305/sneaky_mobile_ads_invade_android_phones.html*

Just though I'd warn everyone, as I'm a very careful / savvy user and only use very popular, respected apps, but still got it. Personally I think adding phantom widgets and hijacking your browser homepage with a fake google look-a-like is disgusting and bordering on criminal, as no warning or notification is made that this is going to happen, where it came from and how to remove / fix it.
[Galaxy S II General] FlowerPotmen:
Good call mate! I downloaded the AirPush Detector, AdFree Android, and Addons Detector thats mentioned on the post, and they found some on my SG2.

I will give all offending apps a one star rating, and this will get these dev's to act!!

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] MistahBungle:
If you're going to give these apps one star ratings, don't forget to put a very scathing review up as well. A single star rating either way isn't going to bother these people much, but if you put a really negative review up as well, it adds a little impact.

In my experience, a brutal review tends to get devs attention fairly quickly, especially those who care about the rep of their apps ;)
[Galaxy S II General] blueseeker:
... and I wondered from where that magnifying glass appeared on my homescreen.

By the way, the icon sucks ;)

I installed one crappy app from the market but unistalled everything fishy in the moment I saw that icon ...
[Galaxy S II General] Kingybear:
This has happened to me 2x wish I knew what app it was. I normally only download popular ones too.
[Galaxy S II General] Gnarfsan:
I have the magnifying glass too. I didn't notice it at first because I use TWLauncher 4.5 and it only added itself to the stock launcher. I guess its time to do some forum searching or uninstall all my add based apps.
[Galaxy S II General] GRiM-UK:
You guys (especially OP) need to use programs like Lookout or ESET and stay away from ****ty apps like AVG (Which is also **** on PC).
[Galaxy S II General] Gnarfsan:
Lookout doesn't find the search adware widget.
[Galaxy S II General] ephraim:
I had that icon too.. it even changed the default search engine on my browser..
[Galaxy S II General] happily1986:
personally i feel you should report this app to Google straight. No chances should be given for developers of such nasty lowdown apps.
[Galaxy S II General] srikanth.naidu:
I personally dont use any of the antivirus stuff but have my host file update for removing ads and use LBE security to block applications access to the internet.
[Galaxy S II General] Mittaa:
Thanks

Thanks... very usefull information :)

Installed LBE and now monitoring apps :cool:
[Galaxy S II General] B3311:
Thanks for the heads up and the useful apps recommended.

All clean here, but glad I checked.

Further good reasons not go down the pirate route kids - get that Blackmarket and Mobilism app off ya devices;)
[Galaxy S II General] 666fff:
Mobilism app isn't malware.
[Galaxy S II General] jonny68:
I use Avast and adaway and they seem to be effective enough although no doubt malaware is a cause for concern.
[Galaxy S II General] B3311:
I'll take your word for it. It allows you to test pro versions or other paid apps, and if you like them, you go to Android's market and buy the "proper" goods.... Sure. That's all right then.
[Galaxy S II General] crx16:
How much does eset cost? Could only see free 30 day trial
[Galaxy S II General] 666fff:
That's what I use it for. I like to trial an app properly. If I like, buy from the market, if it's crappy, delete.
[Galaxy S II General] diggedy:
The same happened to me, I only realised when a lot of my google searches were US based and not UK. When I clicked on the "privacy" link at the bottom of the Google page (or what I thought was google, it just had a different search icon) it brought up info about a different company, it wasnt the usual google privacy disclaimer.

In the end I think I had to uninstall all the recent apps because I wasnt sure which had done it and had to clear data on the browser to remove it.
[Galaxy S II General] rykel98:
My Samsung Galaxy Note has also been invaded by this searchmobile pest and I am looking for a lasting solution, or an app that can identify which app invited the malware. "free iPads" have also appeared annoyingly frequent.
[Galaxy S II General] 666fff:
Trustgo ad detector. Great app. Look good too.:angel:
[Galaxy S II General] shaggyskunk:
searchmobileonline is made by Syndicate Apps & the have stuff on the play store. On their website, they have the balls to us xda as a reference, I reported them to Google & left a very blunt, very strong negative review!

I wish Google would do a much better job of vetting apps & some of these dirt ball app hucksters,

Sent from, The Eclectic Chair.
[Galaxy S II General] darkcossack:
I believe the name of the technology used to push these malware shortcuts and ads in the notification area is called Airpush.

Look up "Airblocker - Airpush Block" in Google Play - it both identifies the offending app and offers to block the ads as well. Also, you can click on the offending app list and uninstall straight away if you wish.
[Galaxy S II General] shaggyskunk:
Yeah, thanks I know.... Look out also has a great ad push detector. Avast & LBE both missed it. It just ticks me off that the store doesn't do a better job. & trying to find the bits of these apps with root explorer or esExporer doesn't work. And you don't always notice a new widget or app, if there's no more room on your screen.

Sent from, The Eclectic Chair.
[Galaxy S II General] shaggyskunk:
Here's the arrogant answer from these guys

They're missing the point, that most apps that have ads, disclose this in the Description of the app. The fact that this band of Personal information theves, try to sneak their crap onto people's phones, just makes them look even more sleazy.

I sent them an appropriate reply.

[Galaxy S II General] MattBooth:
I use AdAway for editing my HOSTS file and Avast! to firewall programs from the internet. I absolutely ****ing hate ads and I don't think it's a right of developers to install them on your phone.

Google Ads in app is ok, because they're Google Ads, trusted, usually unobtrusive and only in that particular app. I block those too. I'd rather developers rip out features and offer limits to push for Pro version downloads - I have many Pro apps this way because there's incentive other than "get rid of these ****ty apps by buying".

Like Angry Birds Space Premium. I jumped on that straight away because I'm supporting the developer by paying for their product, whilst also making sure I don't have ads in my way while I'm playing. It's win-win. Sonic CD, limited to a few levels, Pro to unlock. Pro bought immediately after hitting the limit. Ads? None. Great app and good marketing.

But this? Any dev who does this should be blacklisted and shunned from Android. Lets see how long they get to pull that **** on iOS. Not long I'll bet. Android should be no different.
[Galaxy S II General] republicano:
i had an experience with push notifcations, i downloaded a traffic cam app by the drowning zebra just to get updates in my city, noticed it was running in the background, i couldnt even leave wifi on because of these notifcations in taskbar, when you click it, takes you to that app then to a website,it didnt have ads when your in the app nor did they disclose any info in the market, the app was being updated without a change log.
[Galaxy S II General] drraptor:
Lookout didn't detect it but it changed the homepage to default
[Galaxy S II General] pulser_g2:
Vote with your feet.

If they use these ads, uninstall and 1* it. They will soon learn if everyone does this :)
[Galaxy S II General] xdadce:
It is really bad
[Galaxy S II General] DD-Ripper:
Just giving a One star rating doesn't make the developer to stop his/her dirty deeds.

Instead we should probably get it reported and removed from Google Play.

That would stuff some sense to the developer.

'browser hijacking'

Thank you for writing a very helpful post. I have a similar issue. Some sites completely hijacks my browser, both stock and chrome, and routed to a site

mob.limitshare.com

and starts to download an apk call 'c-launcher'. I understand developer's revenue from free apps and do my part as an user of free apps by clicking at ads atleast once. But this is different. I need some help to prevent those hijackings. No AV's are of any help in preventing this.

Pls. find attachment of screenshot.

Commonly, Malware like browser hijacker sneaks into the computer without computer user's consent and knowledge. It spreads via network environment while freeware downloads, peer to peer file sharing, spam email attachments, visiting erotic websites and so forth. antivirus software cannot remove them effectively. To remove browser hijacker from your computer, you can try the manual removal method.

Actually Opera mobile is the best browser on Android right now. Its the fastest and smoothest. With stock browser you will get checkerboarding. you won't get any of that with Opera. A member found a trick to put stock browser in debug mode to make faster but even then its not faster than opera. And the trick doesn't work for everyone. Another good browser is Dolphin HD. They both are free. Always good to have multiple browsers to compare n decide which one you'd like to use the most.

Stock is better if you can't live without keyboard shortcuts but this is technically a tablet, and Opera Mobile is better suited for serious lifting.
