[About XDA developers] bemymonkey:
This is getting out of hand. I'm getting the redirect too (have been off and on for weeks now), and it seems that it's a subscription trap that costs 3€ PER DAY. Once you're signed up (and clicking that big button in the middle of the ad is enough!), it's difficult to get rid of the subscription, and they charge right off of your phone bill - if you don't use prepaid, you can be charged up to 90€ within one billing period!

This needs to be taken care of right away, before people start getting billed!
[About XDA developers] Archer:
You can't be charged for clicking something on a website. There must be something else responsible for that.
[About XDA developers] bemymonkey:
On a smartphone, you can. That's exactly the problem.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WAP_billing

It's been in the news multiple times these past few weeks - an Android scam epidemic. The way it usually works is that a banner ad in an Android app links to a WAP site (indistinguishable from a regular web site for the average user), and there a single click is enough to start the subscription. It's a VERY shady business, and laws are currently being passed in order to fight these jackasses, but currently it's up to us as users and advertisers to work around the problem.

Even Admob has served these ads... :(
[About XDA developers] schaze:
Installed adfree now - issue fixed for me at the time. Unfortunately that blocks all ads for apps and other web pages too, but I simply don't have another option atm...

Please get this fixed already! I understand it is not that simple but now it has been quite a while. Maybe your ad provider should rethink their QA process before adding new ads that cause **** like this...
[About XDA developers] Archer:
I'm flabbergasted. How dumb an idea is that???
[About XDA developers] bemymonkey:
I'm rather shocked myself... Or rather have been for the past year or so (that's how long these scams have already been popping up!)...
[About XDA developers] Archer:
Surely it can't be applied to any type of button or link, or the whole internet would be full of things that cost money to click. Does it come up with a system style prompt telling you you're about to pay for something?

Also, do you know if you can opt-out of this payment method with your provider?
[About XDA developers] bemymonkey:
Some providers provide an opt out from any third party billing whatsoever, which also includes premium rate numbers and premium SMS... Not all providers have this option though, and it's something that the user has to actively request and/or activate via the provider's Hotline.
[About XDA developers] usaff22:
That's cool. I want to do that and not get scammed for these dumb premium SMSs. Not that I signed up to any or put my number on shady sites. This thread is making me use my phone less :eek:

[About XDA developers] harddisk_wp:
Confirmed, both WLAN and 3G (O2 Germany). I think this happens only when you log in from German IPs... and unless I overlooked something, everyone affected in this thread has a Samsung Galaxy phone, including me with a Galaxy Note.

Samsung got infected by trojans or other bullsh*t maybe? Remember the scandal some years ago where Apple distributed virus-infected iPods?

[About XDA developers] pokkaf:
No, the problem is not Samsung specific. I got the same problem with my HTC Desire (also with a German IP address). It's some ad that redirects your browser to the smartphonegirls booking page. I've installed AdFree on my rooted phone and haven't been redirected since.

In my opinion the biggest problem is the fact that wap billing is still so "easy" and hardly controllable. But that would be a case for some - in this case German - court.
[About XDA developers] bemymonkey:
I've already written to the BundesNetzAgentur about the issue - their answer was that it's not their jurisdiction.

I've spoken to my phone provider - not their responsibility.

Others have spoken to lawyers - civil litigation of any kind isn't worth it.

:rolleyes:

These scammers will continue screwing us over until someone with enough time and money to spare takes them to court just for kicks.

It's so annoying, workaround for ics phones is to enable "request desktop version " if you're not rooted and can't install adfree. That fixes the redirect. Please look into it.
[About XDA developers] sidcmj:
i am having the same problem, do people have a fix for this yet?
[About XDA developers] xnopasaranx:
I have been having these popups while surfing the net on my transformer prime. My milestone 2 has been rooted for quite a while and I had my hosts file filtered so I never had problems before. on the tf201 the ads can't harm me but it's really annoying. I unlocked my device now anyway and have and ad filter installed. I might be going out on a limp here but this could very well be a problem domestic to germany. A lot of cellphone fraud with weird fake sms and wap business going on over here. They got me on a contract I supposedly signed by reading an sms on my palm pre back in 2011. I had to pay for some crap subscription I never agreed to because of malicious ads on some site.

This needs to be taken care of before someone actually has to pay for some trashy porno site.

[About XDA developers] thezood:
This happens to me too fairly regularly and it has been going on for quite long. Very embarressing when it happens around people. I think it's annoying that the managers of this site hasn't taken care of the problem after such a long time. Makes you wonder if it isn't intentional. The web ad business is an ugly one.
[About XDA developers] sAmiZZle:
I'm from Australia on Telstra provider and got redirected to a porn ad which I am really not happy about. I clicked on a bookmark to get to a forum within xda. This only has happened only android phone. Not sure what the URL was since I got out of it quickly.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alpha007org:
Hello.

I have very specific problem when I'm trying to overclock.

If I overclock to 1.5GHz and run CPU StabilityTest it wil work OK. Tried for 12h and no problem.

But since I'm using Daemon Controller and CPU speed jumps to accomodate use I get bootloop.

I found that the problem is with 1.2GHz and 1.3GHz.

Is there any way to remove this specific CPU Speeds so it would never use them?

It would be great if that can be done because at 1.5GHz my phone works and fells much more responsive.

Thanks for any idea or solution you can think of. Or just point me in the right direction...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JagDave:
I don't think you can remove the oc speeds, and even if you did they would be replaced after a reboot.

You could try changing the voltages for the speeds giving you problems.

Sent from The App that Time Forgot.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alpha007org:
"Your Kernel Must Support Dynamic Voltage Control" says I think for Daemon Controller.

There is a file:

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels

where there are all available CPU freq and voltages.

So I think there should be some kind of solution to delete custom clock speeds.

Most complicated solution I can think of: I would edit kernel before flashing it.

Another question bugs me: what are default stock rom/kernel CPU freq and voltages. I searched this forum and found different information.

I would like to get (will try to get) in touch with some (any) kernel makers, since I am developer, so we "could talk same language."

If there is any chance any kernel maker reading this, please reply, I would donate some money through paypal and we could write a guide for others.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kawaski47:
I have a launch day evo. I rooted it about a month later. I've been flashing roms ever since. But the past 6 months or so it seems that with physical age that the phone just isn't as fast as it used to be. I used a co workers stock evo today and it was so fast already! To me it didn't need to be rooted.

Now whenever I flash roms I always do a full wipe. I'm not an app person (on Android at least.) and don't have a partitioned sd card (wouldn't know how to do that if I wanted to). I just re download the basics like pandora, xda, swiftkey etc.

Now for my question, is there a way to completely start over from a clean slate? Do I need to update certain root files? My phone just seems so sluggish with out me having anything on it. Oh and I'm on classic rom right now.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HipKat:
Yep. Easy. Run the RUU for your phone. That'll take it back to out of the box.

This link may be dated, but you're using a released ate EVO, so this should tell you everything

https://spreadsheets.google.com/spr...U2Mi1hNWU0LTRlNjEtYWMyOC1lZmU4ODg1ODc1ODI&ifq

BTW, you don't have to unroot first.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kawaski47:
And then I can use one of the root methods to re root my phone?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] {ParanoiA}:
If your already s-off via unrevoked or revolutionary then you are already s-off. Just run a ruu to reset your software and start clean.

Not Sent
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plainjane:
Since you probably didn't run unrevoked forever, running an RUU will probably put you s-on. I'd RUU to either the last FroYo release to run unrevoked or at least pre hboot 2.18 so that rooting is easier. Go for hboot 2.16 (GB) or 2.10 (FroYo).

Remember that your phone is older, so running an RUU might not make an incredible difference. If you've had your Evo that long then you probably could upgrade. Maybe you're holding out for the same reason I am - there's nothing that much better out yet.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redsoxny04:
I'd RUU version 2.16 or older, once phone is reset, reroot and enjoy.

But hardware is older, it maybe just getting worn out and may need a good ole fashioned replacement. These things arent designed to last forever../ :-P
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] luminus69:
It's easy:

1. Pinch to get the home screen previews.

2. Select and return to the screen where the scrollable widget is located.

3. Immediately use the scrollable widget. (Hey it's scrolling!)

4. After you launch an app, tap the screen outside the widget, or change screens, it will stop working again.

5. In which case just rinse and repeat.

Until AnderWeb fixes the damn thing this will have to do. Think of it as a "safety lock" for scrollable widgets. :p
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ztracenyDen:
It's easier - use two fingers to scroll widgets.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] luminus69:
Wasn't working for me...but then I rebooted and the two-finger trick seems to work now! Weird. Thanks!

Once the widget starts scrolling (via either the pinch preview or the two-finger method), it will keep on scrolling with one or two fingers until you do something outside the widget.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fredgar75:
APW widgets from the market scroll great without a secondary launcher.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] smw6180:
True, but the point is to use the scrollable widgets we already like. APW widgets are ok, but for widgets like the CNN widget there isn't any APW substitute. The point here is that adw-ex needs to be updated so that scrollable widgets work.

Unfortunately the only launcher that will do the HUBS layout properly is ADW-ex, which makes this so damned frustrating.

[Streak 5 Android Development] lordmorphous:
Got it up and going this morning and am quite impressed. I think I like it better than CM7. The wifi issue isn't a deal breaker for me right now since I have an unlimited data plan. However, for the life of me, I can't figure out how to change themes. It will run through the process like its changing, but nothing does change. Anyone have any ideas?

Also, to the OP, I tried swapping out the dhd.ko with the one from DSC 0.7. That's what I did to get around the deep sleep issue with wifi on it. It didn't work either.
[Streak 5 Android Development] DJ-VAN:
There should be a shortcut to it on one of the homescreens. But you can get to it by clicking on settings>personal>themes

Two questions though:

1. If the streak goes into deep sleep it can't maintain a connection to wifi? Is that a driver issue? Because I didn't have that problem on froyo- only gingerbread roms. I use the streak mainly as a voip phone so wifi is important for me.

2. How can I get the notification light mod that DSC had in this rom?
