[General Questions and Answers] TechAttack:
I've also started getting these pop-ups recently. Maybe since Wednesday? I too have a SGS3

I don't remember clicking on anything but now every so often I get an offer pop up from mobilerewards.org saying I'm the lucky winner of something.

Rarely, I get a full screen ad from the same company which seems to 'take over' both Chrome Beta and the stock browser screen. I can change tabs but not go back to the previous page. If I press the back button on the phone, it quits either browser.

Used various anti virus and ad checkers but they all report back as clean.

It must be a new ad on the site? Maybe?

Just noticed this downloaded to my phone after one of the ads popped up "FedEx_cycling_728x90_fade.swf". I'm obviously not going to try and open it!

So apparently I've won a prize

Hi guys, I'm very new to the site. So firstly, I would like to say hi to you all and let you know that I have the same issue on my HTC Desire.

I've found that this current problem has interrupted my early morning meandering on the web and as a result I am not a happy bunny. :(

Thus far, I have avoided pressing okay on the pop-up banner or whatever it is. My way around this annoying pop-up, is to press Menu (instead of okay) to get out of it. My deepest fear is that if okay is pressed bad things will happen. However the stupid pop-up returns each time I Google search, or use any Android applications.

Unfortunately, this is the extent of my technical prowess. So I'm a little :confused:

I am considering running an anti-virus, then restarting my phone. Not sure if this would help, but it's worth a try.

In the hope that this issue gets resolved, I will keep an eye on this thread.

Look forward to hearing from you.
[General Questions and Answers] galaxy44:
Thanks for the extra info. I got the message again today too,, while checking for repiles about the problem. Slightly ironic.

It only happens when I click an email link to a topic reply for this forum. Are you saying it is happening other times?
[General Questions and Answers] steamdog:
Hello.

Having the exact problem.

I have tried using several virus/MALWARE programs to run scans. Avg..etc. No viruses or malware detected. Tried running these antivirus programs with ie protection. Done diddly squat

Found that it occurs everytime if you clear browser history, cookies, cache and close ie down.

Soon as i launch a certain website(for me its trueachievements.com) i get redirected.

Tried searching for mobrewards.org and android rewards and found very little.

Also deleted several of the latest apps that i installed. Had no effect. Started to try disabling some services.

This mob rewards doesnt even register in history. Disabling cookies does stop it thou but obviously that has adverse effects
[General Questions and Answers] galaxy44:
Cheers for the extra info. My phone was 1 day old. I put on about 5 apps on I don't think it's that. I can list the apps?

O.T but on my old phone I started getting an ebay advert in the start thing at the top every time I booted the phone. It appeared after installing angry birds.

I'm going to root soon and add add free android. Hopefully it will fix this.

If you get any more info let us know.
[General Questions and Answers] Farcroft33:
No worries.

As I said, I first encountered this problem in the early hours of the morning. It just kept popping up on the screen. In my tired state I said that I pressed Menu, but realised that I had pressed the Home key - which got rid of the screen entirely. However it came back each time I tried to Google search, open Facebook or play one of my games (FB game).

Since my earlier post. I have deleted one of two Facebook games which took up about 14mb and funnily enough I have not had a pop-up since.

Time will tell. However I suspect this issue may have something to do with the time of day that I was browsing and using my phone. I have a broken sleeping pattern and have started to play Words With Friends (FB Game) and Draw Something - the FB Game that I deleted and recently stopped playing prior to this problem.

I think this could possibly be something that has been monitoring my internet habits and it rears its ugly head in the early hours of the morning. As opposed to during the day, when I don't use the web as much.

If this is the case, I would suggest that you monitor your internet usage and the time of day that these pop-ups occur. Look at everything you have installed recently and look into anything that you think may be the potential source of the problem.

If this problem persists with me, I would be tempted to back up all of my important information and reset the phone to its original factory settings. I'm not that desperate yet, but will consider it if the going gets tough. And lastly because I am paranoid about security, I would change my passwords. I acknowledge what's good for me might not be good for you. So make sure you consider your options before you do anything drastic.

I hope this helps as I am still really tired. Good luck!

Anyone else who's getting this popup also install the Swype apk posted on the SGS3 forums? Only happened since I installed that, although as it's only happened twice - and when on XDA - it may well be coincidence.

Getting the same here on my 1 day old galaxy s3. Really strange, I've got it set up exactly the same as my nexus s all the same apps etc, and never had a problem with that.
[General Questions and Answers] k.p.:
I got this once on my practically dead HTC Desire (with practically nothing on it) about four days ago, and once per day on my new SIII since then. I've googled for it several times, it seems to be affecting a wide range of people on different sites, devices, and platforms. But no solution for making it stop had appeared to me as yet. Since it hit my old Desire before I put Swype on my new SIII, I don't think it is the S 3 swype file that was posted here.
[General Questions and Answers] jannen:
I dont have Swype or use FB apps, and just keep getting this irritating pop up.

And it only happens accessing XDA forums!

[General Questions and Answers] nawoa:
XDA's sure gone downhill fast since the reputable developers started leaving to that other site. First AirPush ads aimed at developers, now full-page popups for paid SMS scams. Hit "back" and it takes you to the page BEFORE the page with the ad.

Way to **** the bed, XDA.

My Phone was working perfectly with no problems! until yesterday i was out and the phone battery was about to die then the phone turned off then after i went home i plugged it in the charger and went to sleep today i turned it on and everything on it is deleted no contacts no msgs no apps and no sd card mounted!!!!:eek: im running cm7 on it and i used to use a program called simple2ext which moves everything from the internal memory to the sd-ext could it be this program that damaged everything :confused:? tried to restart the device sd card wont mount only if i take it out while the device is running and put it back then the device recognize it!! please Help:(
[HTC Wildfire S] JFcavedweller:
could be a physical problem with the sd card? try another card if possible. if not then check to see if its a known problem with the rom.

copying your existing sd-ext to a new card:

you can make a backup image of your sd-ext partition using a linux terminal. (sudo dd if=/dev/mmcblk2 of=/home/username/Desktop/phone-sd-ext.img) i think mmcblk2 is the ext partition. make an identically-sized partition on the new card (it MUST be partition 2). use the above command only switch the paths around.

you can also make a backup (making sure sd-ext mounts) and restore with the new card partitioned and installed. i use twrp2 and for backups i have to force-mount sd-ext before backing up
[HTC Wildfire S] Matt-Matt:
Have you tried the memory card in a PC? If you can, you could have damaged the formatting on the card (doubtful).

Have you tried another card yet, if so to what success? You may also want to try cleaning the contacts on the SD card with a clean cloth/shirt (i just use the bottom of my shirt) :good:
[HTC Wildfire S] JFcavedweller:
and it could also simply be an unclean filesystem. with the card inserted in a computer running linux, use terminal and run "sudo fsck -fy /dev/mmcblk2" (make sure the partition is unmounted)
[HTC Wildfire S] thugnastie:
or maybe the memory card isnt combatable?
[HTC Wildfire S] edu_stoicescu:
-try use the card in other phone to see is if a problem with card.

-try use the card in a card reader to see if is a problem with card.

-try other card in your phone.

-try to clean the contacts of your card.

-try to clean the phone to sd card.

Try these steps:

-wipe everything twice.

-install superwipe tool.(this will clean your NAND)

-wipe again everything twice.

-install the rom.

I think these will solve your problem.

[HTC Wildfire S] BigChillin:
Matt-matt is likely correct here. Your phone likely died in the middle of accessing your SD and it corrupted the partition. Re-partitioning the card through recovery will be your easiest fix. But you'll lose all your info :(

Hi,

I have a rooted mini pro with NeroICS v1 which has a small but very annoying flaw. The color scheme of the word suggestions when typing is black font on dark gray background, i.e. virtually unreadable. I use the stock/preinstalled keyboard "international keyboard".

Where can I find the color configurations files (as in the preferences there is no option to set color scheme)? I browsed around in the /system and /data folder but I couldn't find any useful files. Or does someone have the stock sony ICS keyboard apk to install it as well?

Cheers

Phil
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] plies:
I found a solution myself. As there might be someone with the same problem and, like me, not an expert yet, I document the steps en detail:

I fortunately had a cwm backup of the original ROM, so I used yaffs (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1112906) to extract system.img and copied the textinput-tng.apk from backup\system\app\ to the SD of the cell. Then I connected to the phone using "adb shell" and first made a backup of /system/app/textinput-tng.apk before copying the textinput-tng.apk from my /mnt/sdcard/textinput-tng.apk to /system/app/textinput-tng.apk and changed the permissions with chmod 644 /system/app/textinput-tng.apk

Finally I restarted the phone and after the phone came back on I just had to set the Xperia keyboard as new default keyboard in Preferences->Language and Input.

Amazon's Gold Box deal of the day is on Sandisk memory. They have the fastest 64GB microSD card on sale for $59.99. I just picked one up for myself. Less than a $1 a gig.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cubbieswin:
In a few months the price will probably be $60ish with an occasional deal less than that. Really won't see much of a price drop until the next tier of cards comes out.

$60 is a good price for this right now. I have a class 2, 16 GB right now so the upgrade makes sense for me. If I had a 32 GB like you, I'd probably wait too.

I wonder do you know if the UPC code is the same as the model sold by Best Buy? (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/SanDisk...0116.p?id=1218457270220&skuId=4120116&st=64gb microsdxc&cp=1&lp=1)

Amazon.com lists it as Model: SDSDQY-064G-U46A, but Best Buy lists it as Model: SDSDQY-064G-A11A. Hmmm...

I purchased mine about 3 weeks ago from Best Buy for $79.99 + Tax. So naturally, I want to order this one for $59.99, and just return it to Best Buy using the Best Buy receipt. (LOL) But I can only do that, of course, if the UPC code is the same, or their registers won't recognize it. I wonder what the difference is? Probably they just changed the number because of the packaging which looks slightly different. But they are both 64GB microSDXC Class 10. Hmmm...

If worse comes to worse, I can always just return the one from Best Buy and tell them it "wasn't compatible with my HTC EVO 4G LTE," because, technically...it isn't!!

Well, here I go!! Saving $25!!

---------- Post added at 07:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 PM ----------

I found the answer: It's the same exact card, just different part numbers for the American and the European version. https://www.distrelec.de/ishop/Datasheets/SDSDQY-064G-U46A_eng_datasheet.pdf The one Amazon.com has on sale today for $59.99 is the European version, but it should work just fine, I suppose.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Purest:
The link states that it's a class 6.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TaintedByte:
Yes, it changed.

Yesterday, when it was sold by Amazon it stated class 10. Now the seller is a different one and it revamped the whole order page and claims it is class 6. Either way the transfer speeds are going to be as good as the current card I have.

I will update this when I receive the card (scheduled for delivery on the 11th).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] aznnightkidz:
damn so this is not a class 10 card? And Amazon chanced the price to 80.99. I'm wondering should I cancel my order? but it seems 59.99 is a deal.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] TaintedByte:
Don't know if it is or not, it was listed as such. Either way the review here of the class 6 card shows the transfer speed to be better than a class 10 card.

I'm going to keep it and do a speed test when it arrives, ultimately I can just return it. I recommend you do the same.

EDIT: On the Amazon review site, this guy makes a good point, the card might just be class 10:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] aznnightkidz:

SanDisk 64GB microSDXC $49.99 at Best Buy (TODAY ONLY!!)

Scratch ALL that...I get Best Buy's "Deal of the Day" e-mails, and today's deal was the $79.99 card I bought a few weeks back. Well they have undercut Amazon.com and are selling it for only $49.99 with free shipping!! I was able to call customer service this morning and request a price match. So I will be refunded roughly $32 or so (with taxes) back to my credit card within three to five days. I quickly went to Amazon.com and cancelled my $59.99 order. Fortunately it hadn't shipped yet!!

For any of you who jumped on that $59.99 Amazon.com deal, you might want to cancel your order today and get one from Best Buy for $49.99!! (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/SanDisk...0116.p?id=1218457270220&skuId=4120116&st=64gb)

By the way, although the website says Class 6, the card they shipped me clearly says Class 10 (UHS Speed Class 1). The website lists it as: Model: SDSDQY-064G-A11A SKU: 4120116, and this is exactly what shows up on my receipt. However, the retail packighing of my card says Model: SDSDQUA-064G-A11A (which is the Class 10 version). I have a feeling that maybe when Best Buy and other retailers jusran out of inventory of the Class 6 cards, they just started shipping Class 10 cards instead. Or maybe SanDisk doesn't produce the Class 6 version any more. Most average consumers probably wouldn't know/care the difference. At any rate, I can't recall that Best Buy ever listed both versions on its website. I've been price shopping for SanDisk 64GB microSDXC for about two months, and I have never seen more than that one listing on Best Buy's site. Oh, well...CUSTOMER WIN!! What are your thoughts?
