[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bvbull200:
I have just, in the past couple of days, developed a pretty serious issue with pop-up ads appearing all over the place on my phone. They come in two different ways. 1st is when an ad pops up over the top of another app. This has happened with GO SMS and with the Facebook app for sure. I can't recall what other apps it has happened with, but I don't get the impression that the ad is related to the app I'm in. I've had them pop up on the home screen as well.

Here is an example of a pop-up ad when I opened GO SMS:

I also have it happen where I open my browser (I use Chrome) and it will automatically launch a new tab, then the tab will act as a redirect and send me to the Play Store for another app (basically sending me to the download/install page for an app).

I don't recall installing any apps just before this started happening. I believe that my app list is the same before and after this issue, but I'll keep looking. I have not rooted and am using the Nova Pro launcher, if that helps at all.

How can I figure out what is causing this and, most importantly, how do I make it go away? A factory reset is an option, but I'd like to keep that as a last resort if possible.

Thank you for any and all help.

Try downloading air push detector it may help.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bvbull200:
Air Push Detector said it is not necessary for Android 4.1+. I ran it, though, and told it to scan anyways. It didn't find anything.

It is driving me nuts that I can't nail down where these are coming from.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Compusmurf:
Try uninstalling gosms. If I remember right. When I tried that crapp it was full of ads
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bvbull200:
I can try that. If that is the offender, that'll be a real bummer. Used it for about a year, now, between my S3 and Note 3 and never had an issue. I got pretty comfy with using it as a messaging app, too.

That said, if it is going to cause pop-ups like this, it isn't worth it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Compusmurf:
You recently change a theme in it or something?

Many of the "free" addons to Go* products are full of this crap.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bvbull200:
I had an add on, but it was from a while ago. I can't really think of a thing I changed between it not happening and happening.

I have deleted GO SMS, though, and have not experienced the issue since. Looking like that was the culprit. Now I just need to find an acceptable SMS app.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] comptonhubbard:
try 8sms works great and no ads

[Zooper Widget General] irasujamang:
hello everyone..happy new year to all...need some assistance...I'm having trouble with my zooper pro widget...i can't add any skin to my homescreen and it keeps popping out not responding...this happens to me for over a month now and i don't know what else to do...i changed ROMs, install and uninstall my zooper, clear cache and and any that i can possibly think of...i'm currently using PA 4.0 beta ROM and zooper pro v2.44...please anyone...i need some help..﻿
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] k4killer:
Well I dropped my Note 2 in water and I have probably killed it.

Just want to see if anyone has any ideas on recovery before I drop the $200 for my insurance deductible.

So upon dropping it, I pulled the battery and SD card immediately, and let the phone sit in rice overnight.

Next day, I pulled the phone out and attempted power up but was greeted with flickering splash screen then power off.

I disassembled the phone completely, and got out some Isopropyle Alcohol and soaked all the components to remove any remaining moisture.

Upon re assembly, I plugged the phone in and couldn't get it to power on at all. Then I tried powering in to Oden and success! got the download screen.

Next I booted up Oden on the computer and attempted to re flash and unsecure boot img, and recovery. It succeeded in Oden, but as soon as the phone gets passed the boot screen it turns off. Cant get passed it.

Anything else I can try?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] k4killer:
Got it working!

Reflashed boot and recovery again.

was still having issues, then I went in to DL mode, cancelled and held down the Vol + and Home and it booted into TWRP!

From there, I had to reflash the rom and its good.

Looks like some stuff got into the camera, photos are streaking a little but Ill try and fix that later.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] louforgiveno:
You probably still have moisture and condensation in the phone.....should keep it in the rice more time and avoid powering up as long as possible
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] k4killer:
Isopropyle Alcohol will insure there is NO moisture left.

I thoroughly soaked each of the components in it.

Im pretty sure my problems came from when I booted the phone after taking it out of the rice.

Im sure the moisture that was left then, shorted across the RAM and firmware, corrupting them.

After a few over rights with Odin it seems to be fine.

Please.... someone hook us up! ;)

I can't stand this garbage FireOS any longer! Please someone free this bad boy
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] stunts513:
The problem isn't that we have no custom ROMs, its that we have not managed to find a way around the locked boot loader. That is not an easy task to accomplish.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] SilverCi:
Same is true for the Verizon Galaxy S4 (ME7) as well but we have safe strap. No way to safe strap the new kindle? Damn, wish I did some research here prior to buying the kindle.

thanks guys

[7" Kindle Fire HD General] jonathanlyng:
it's going to take it's time let's be patient about it.

the following isn't meant to be read in a angry or condescending tone, let's keep our spirits high ;) :

Please try to understand: it's not that easy to find an exploit in a closed source OS, even when it's based on a open source OS. if a dev doesn't have the device, he won't be able to trial and error, if the kindle is bricked, he has to hand it back to Amazon. no official rom in the wild means no recovery fastbooting (as with RSD lite for razrs etc)... it's going to be done sooner or later (the challenge of unlocking a tough device is interresting in itself to many coders ;) ) but for the time being, we are stuck and have to quit whinging: it does deter willpower from devs.

We ,of course, could get active and start raising a prize for the implementation of safestrap. we could also get together and giveaway one to a dev :highfive: , who will probably try to unlock it, but do not expect a guarranted result. :(

last thing: in itself, fireOS isn't such a crappy implementation of android for 130 €. you got the best thing in the tablet world 130 € can get you.It's not the regular android and gets some using to but frankly, I have troubles hearing it's a POS. It would be if we paid the nexus price for it, but we didn't.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] SilverCi:
I hear you , if it was easy it would be done by now. I realize that. I do think it's a POS compared to stock android. to each his own though. I would have gladly paid the extra 100 or so for the nexus had I realized this thing wasn't hacked yet.

I'd gladly setup a bounty for unlocked bootloader for this bad boy. How do we go about that? do we need a moderator to set it up?

$50 dollars from me for an unlocked bootloader!

And don't take my *****ing here as complaining... love the work you all do!
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] persano:
Well, this forum is for the hd 2012. You have to go to the hindle fire hdx one
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] cerberus0f:

[7" Kindle Fire HD General] jonathanlyng:
I hear you but

I agree that this is not the old fire HD but the new one however it is not a HDX but a kindle fire HD :eek: . maybe these forums should be renamed acordingly to their technical names: soho, thor, appollo... :confused:

---------- Post added at 12:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:11 PM ----------

it's ok, really.:good:

I'll throw in 20 €...

so all contributions together that's about 125 US$ for the time being. ready to jump into which ever dev's paypal or flattr who gets to a second recovery first.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiff_lee:
Hi all, I posted several questions in the Nexus 4 Q&A thread but the situation has gone from bad to worse so decided it would be easier to just create my own thread...

This started off with being unable to boot the phone into the OS, Fastboot and Recovery mode were both accessible although wiping the cache failed to do anything it just returned unable to mount cache errors.

I then attempted to unlock the bootloader so I could load a custom recovery and try repairing, however upon selecting "yes" to unlock the phone the screen flashed the fastboot screen up then went blank and has stayed blank since, all I get now is a qualcomm usb device detected when I plug it in.

Installed Qualcomm drivers and the phone is recognised as being in download mode in QPST but from what i've read on this site so far it seems no one has been able to unbrick a Nexus 4 using QPST?

I read the unbrick guide using LGNPST, the software recognises a device being connected but it keeps prompting that the phone is off or unplugged even though windows is still detecting it as plugged in (qualcomm device detected, no noise for device unplugged etc).

Finally if I hold down vol-/+&power when connecting the USB lead the red LED comes on (solid) for about 3 seconds.

Do I have any option other than RMA?

[LG Optimus G Pro] -SeCra-:
Okay, I originally got this phone as an upgrade over my HTC Inspire in July. It worked great, minus a few random reboots every once in a while (if I left it in my pocket for a long time or if it was really hot in my car it would do this, but that was it). Then, about a month or two ago, I rooted it and installed a custom ROM. I noticed that a bunch of my files were missing from my internal SD card, but I wasn't too worried about it. Then my phone started acting really weird and got stuck in a bootloop. I was able to boot into recovery, but I ended up using the LG Flash Tool and went back to bone stock. Still had the issue, except I noticed that my signal would drop, and then it'd get stuck in the bootloop. So, I contacted AT&T warranty and they sent me a replacement. Now the same thing is happening to this one. It gets warm, loses cell signal, then reboots, sometimes a bootloop. This phone hasn't been rooted at all, it's been left stock. So I contacted AT&T and the guy in warranty said he thinks it's the battery, but he didn't have any in stock so he couldn't send a replacement. So I was thinking it was the battery and called LG after it seemed to get worse. They told me that they could replace the battery free of charge if I send in the one I'm using first. Since this is my only way of communication, I contacted AT&T again, and they're sending me another replacement. (Said if this one screw up too, they'll give me a different phone all together). The guy had me download some AT&T remote support app and he looked at the battery health and said it's reading fine, and that because it's reading fine, he didn't think it was the battery. :|

Here's the weird thing, about two weeks ago, it went into a bootloop. I took out the battery for a minute an tried to put it back in. Nothing. I plugged the charger into it and it basically told me that it didn't have enough juice to power on. (battery was at ~40%). So I took the battery back out and tried again. This time it came on.

Then last friday, I was jammin out to music while I was working, it would reboot when I unlocked the phone. (battery was in upper 90%'s). I plugged the charger in while it did this and everything came up as it should. But after taking it off the charger and trying to do more work, it happened again and again.

Like I said, this phone is straight from AT&T and has not had anything flashed onto it by me, hell I never even disabled all the AT&T bloat this time. I've tried a hard reset, and it didn't help. Does anybody know what would be the cause of my problems? I really like this phone and really hope I can get this figured out.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, the phone still has its IMEI number and it has the value pack update.
[LG Optimus G Pro] -SeCra-:
Got the second replacement in the mail today. It hasn't screwed up yet, but only time will tell.
[LG Optimus G Pro] mattverg89:
Wow hope this works for you. I just got 3 Optimus G Pro's on 12/30/13 and all 3 of them to date have not had any issues. 2 black and 1 white. 2 which are running stock. 1 stock which has had a bunch of the bloatware yanked (that we could get off of it). 1 stock which has had nothing pulled, everything left the way it is. And the 3rd one (which is the one I use) which I rooted to CyanFox 4.4.2 and later to CM11 4.4.2 Nightly and haven't had any issues like the ones you've explained.

Good luck though hopefully your issue is gone. Seems like a nice reliable phone (minus LG not wanting to support it furthermore :( ).
[LG Optimus G Pro] -SeCra-:
I really hope my issues with this phone are done too, I really love this phone. If I don't have any issues, it's going to get rooted and updated to KitKat. Otherwise, I'll try to get AT&T to give me a MotoX or a HTC One.
[LG Optimus G Pro] mattverg89:
Yeah I like this phone with KitKat. Looks like a larger Nexus 5 :)

Only problems i'm having with CM11:

1. ATT Visual Voicemail will install but upon playing voicemails program will freeze and crash

2. Tried Google Voice however you can only hear the voicemails through speakerphone, headsets, or bluetooth. Voicemails will no play through earpiece.

3. CM11 doesn't have Screen Recorder yet (Which CyanFox did although CM11 is still fairly fresh).

4. I would like to have the LG Camera app back! Dual video recording and some of those other features are gone with the android stock Camera app. Need to look into porting that back over to KitKat (if I can).

That's bout it though...
[LG Optimus G Pro] -SeCra-:
Haha yeah, this phone is beautiful with stock Android, I just end up missing certain touches that LG puts in their overlay.

BTW, this phone is doing the same thing as before. I strongly believe it's the battery b/c when it went into a bootloop, I took out the battery it was warm, so I put it in front of the AC for a minute to cool it down and it's been working fine since. So, I'm going to call AT&T and see if they will send me a battery, and if they can't, I'm going to have to send this one in to LG and be without a phone for a week...:'(

UPDATE: AT&T told me "since we have tried everything else-hard resets, replacement phones- and nothing worked, we will send you a battery since it's the only thing that has stayed persistent through this ordeal. We just got some in stock and are sending one your way. If the problem continues to persist, we will replace the phone again." IT'S ABOUT TIME!!!
[LG Optimus G Pro] -SeCra-:
Just curious, but what if I continue having this issue after I get my new battery? Should I try a similar mah zero lemon battery or just have att give me a different phone altogether?
[LG Optimus G Pro] maximus_pr:
i think there is an issue with the battery and whatever cable you use to charge the phone.I had to Lge980 when I used a thin cable I have in my room sometimes it did not charged at all and or shut down itself even when the battery had half charge ,sometimes it showed full charged but if I plugged the phone to a thicker cable connected using the oem charger or a usb 3.0 port at my laptop it showed the real charge level at 1/4 charge.I myself could't do anything since I got the phone second hand but as long as I used thick cable connected to a oem charger usb 3.0 or eben 2.0 I had no had any issues.
[LG Optimus G Pro] zhirrad:
how'd it go?

I've had the exact same problem with my E980 and the refurb they sent me. Contemplating a battery replacement now. Did a new battery fix your boot loops?
[LG Optimus G Pro] mrmcshagbag:
If you want to stay on stock i recommend going to jellybean TOT 10k and rooting and installing a custom recovery back up the rom, and flash hkfriends kernel, and see what happens if you raise or lower your phones voltage, that might be the problem with it rebooting.
[LG Optimus G Pro] -SeCra-:
THE NEW BATTERY SOLVED THE ISSUE, BUT ONLY FOR A SHORT TIME. I upgraded to an HTC One M8 since, and haven't had hardly any problems with it, aside from the death star's BS
[LG Optimus G Pro] zhirrad:
Thanks for the response. I talked to the techs at an AT&T direct service center and they told me it's a common problem with the Optimus Pro. I'm on my third one in 8 months now and this one started randomly powering off within 15 minutes of when I took it out of the box three days ago.
[LG Optimus G Pro] -SeCra-:
Yeah. My issue was the battery for sure. Make them replace the battery and it should temp solve the issue
[LG Optimus G Pro] zombigrn:
From what I read on the first e980 i had these phone tend to have a hardware problem where the power button is creating the same issues as OP. Some refurbished e980s have the hardware problem solved.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] CoogiMane1996:
