[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piqJZu:
Hi,

a cousin came to me with a problem about a trojan and now I have some questions to you:

All I know:

Some weeks ago I installed on this smartphone an app from F-Droid (Ghost-Commander) and to do so I had to tick >unknown sources<. After that I forgot to untick it again. About a week after that my cousin came to me with the smartphone and the 'trojan' on it (as you can see on the picture). She said that she only installed apps from the appstore.

View attachment 3355816

What the 'trojan' does:

A program is forced to foreground (as you can see on the picture) - it can't be exited. No key works. The status bar can be expanded but also clicking on the icons doesn't do anything. If the device is rebooted the lock-screen is shown first and when the device is unlocked then after about one to two seconds later the 'trojan' is executed.

What I did:

After some research I rebooted the device into safe-mode. The 'trojan' wasn't executed there and so I enabled android debugging. I couldn't remove any malicious app because due to safe-mode no suspicious app was loaded. After rebooting to normal-mode again the 'trojan' was back. I connected to the android shell with $adb shell and executed $top there. Then I started to force-stop suspicious apps with $am force-stop <package> and after some tries the 'trojan' was gone. I unchecked >unknown sources< und returned the smartphone to my cousin.

The problem now is that after some days the 'trojan' showed up again but now with a different package-name! (it was called edu.fluster this time)

View attachment 3355859

Do you know

1) how this 'trojan' got onto the smartphone?

2) how it can be totally removed or if it was another infection how to prevented more infections?

3) how it is possible to write such a harmful program? I did some simple android programming and the sandbox that is built seemed pretty secure to me (as a novice) but how are such vulnerabilitiesfound? With much time? luck? knowledge? or all together?

I would be glad if you helped me!

piqJZu

EDIT:

I finally found the apps that start this trojan:

- 2 apps with the same name both are malicious - both show up as "Browser Update" in the menu

|-- one package is called: de.record.gauge

|-- the other: edu.fluster

Answers to the other questions are still appreciated ;)

I cannot find this face anywhere.. I had it on my Moto 360 but lost it after I had to factory reset and ODIN my phone.

It was called Hublot V1 in watchmaker. Does anybody have it by chance?

I did a bit of googling and found that someone on here said that anker is a good brand (apart from the actual manufacturer of the original), and that the 1800 MAH battery intended for the S2 epic 4g fits our phone..... (if you google captivate glide 1800 MAH the thread from here pops up)

but im just wondering if anyone has tried/used these exact ones, and what their thoughts are...

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005HBH1R2?ref_=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_t

I was trying to look for a manufacturing date on it but i dont see any. Im hoping its better than my 2012 one thats been flaky lately...
[Samsung Captivate Glide] steadfasterX:
Well yes I heard about Anker too but somehow ended with akku king:

Akku-King Akku for Samsung Galaxy S i9000, i9001, i9003, i9010, B7350 - replaces EB575152VU, EB625152VU - Li-Ion 1800 mAh https://www.amazon.de/dp/B003ZVH9EG/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_-XfEvbS0VBMX1

I'm very sorry for the german only link but you will get the idea..

I use it since a while (several months) without any problem. Well it let me have maybe about 4 hours more power then with the original one. I was hoping to have more.. !

my average usage behaviour: 1 call a day (about 15min), always online (mix between wifi and 3G), email sync (always on /push).

At the end of the day (16 hours) I have about 10% battery left.

This highly depends on kernel, ROM, etc etc.

So you may test better the anker akku and let us know your results :o)

[Samsung Captivate Glide] Pawprints1986:
Leave it to me, my OEM battery has been alright again, since i ordered a new anker one last night... lol
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Pawprints1986:
Well i can confirm that this battery does in fact fit! the battery door still goes on with no issues. I cant comment much on its usage yet though... the only thing i can say so far is that its taking longer to charge up than my OEM one did.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Pawprints1986:
Wow... so i dont know if it will stay this good... but i got the battery on tuesday.... charged it up while powered off... and now (early saturday morning, about 1am) i just turned it off to charge it as it was at 35%.... but it took me 3 days to burn only 60% of the battery, one time!! Thats still with gaming too. ive been treating it the same... only a bit less texting but just by chance. but my OEM battery would have needed at least 3 charges by now.... so im impressed!

there were a couple of random (seemingly random) drops in precent with no significant wakelocks... but, it didnt stay in a continuous nosedive like my other battery. So i dont know if i should stay this excited, but for now.... im liking it!! I hope this company continues to make this battery for a long time!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] steadfasterX:
Many thx for your feedback! Keep us updated what happens in the next weeks or months :)

Btw what ROM do you use?

I'm not sure if I've ever used the IR Blaster on my note 4 or not. I used it all the time on my Note 3. Anyways I just realized I can't send any IR codes via blaster, tried all the usual apps.

Is anyone else having issues with their IR Blaster or any ideas to fix. I'm not sure if its my Rom/ Lollipop or what?

Ok I have been reading a lot of Posts on Root/Root unlock boot loader. I am a little confused with all of it. I am coming from a LG G2 to the LG G4 on Verizon

If I remember, I rooted my G2 with iRoot. I am not someone that plays with roms. I am only interested in rooting my phone so I am able to use Hot Spot if needed, and a few apps like Titanium Backup. As well as being able to turn off some of the bloat ware.

(Q) - Am I able to Root my phone for the things I listed? Or do I need to wait for the wonderful DEV community to be able to unlock the boot loader?

Thank you

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lock-N-Load:
I love root. It is pretty important to me. I have rooted every device I have ever owned (and many for many people). I value things like:

1. using deeper control of Tasker (GPS, airplane mode, etc.)

2. using deeper control of Root Explorer file manager

3. Using a root run firewall to block data access (versus VPN if no root)

4. Running AdAway to kill every conceivable ad I can from apps to websites (XDA is

terrible

w/ ads for example)

5. using root based exploits of other apps like Lightflow or backup utilities or call blocking tools (since you can only do 10 SMS/phone # blocks on VZW and they only last 90 days)

6. using root apps to freeze and delete bloat

7. and of course, having something like CWM or TWRP

8. Xposed!

With Verizon, I have watched it become more and more of a PITA. But I loved the specs of this phone so much, I took the leap praying root will come to us without any loss or damage of native functions.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedingcheetah:
So assume the exploit used by current AIO LG root tool is closed on the G4.

Hello,

i have a new Nubia Z9 (Classic version) and it is on Android 5.0.2. I root it and with a chinas software it installed google services. But after the reboot allways a warning message came with "setup-assistent" was ended. If i click ok, it came back and i can do nothing. I cant go to the homescreen. I can go only to the settings of the phone. I tried a factory reset through the settings, but the google warning message came regardless. I searched a rom to install, but i found nothing.

So how can i solve this problem with the endless warning message ?

Thanks in advance

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FoolishAndroidNoob:
Hello everyone! I'm brand new to the forums so if I am breaking any rule or regulation, just give me a heads up. So, some basic information about my predicament.

- own a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 from Verizon.

- I use t-mobile network. Works great with no problems.

- phone was successfully rooted via towel root.

I was looking to get cynagenmod on the phone so I started looking up guides and such. Only thing I wasn't aware of was that carrier branded versions can't have their recovery flashed. That said, I used flashify and the clockwork apk. The app did its job, killed the stock recovery, but couldn't load the new one. Now the phone says error, no recovery when trying to access it during boot.

It should be said that the phone still boots and works normally but I really want to get the recovery working so I can at least try again the right way to get cynagenmod working.

My question is, is it possible to get my hands on the stock recovery for my phone and just flash it back to how it was? Basically, how do I fix this problem I put myself in. Of course, I didn't make backups. During the whole process, I figured "if I follow this tutorial word for word, why bother with backups?" look how wrong I was

Any help would be sincerely appreciated. I'm posting this from my replacement phone, not my note 3.

I bought a flip cover off Ali Express. It's obviously not original but I really like the leather PU material.

The cover doesn't trigger Asus Cover properly in the circle window. The magnet on my cover is located in the cover and floats over the "back" button when closed. I'd like to try to fix the issue by moving the magnet. I've tried using another magnet to trigger the screen but cannot find the correct location.

Can someone with either the original case or the Nillikin Sparkle case that works tell me where the magnet location is please?

Use the app CPU-Z to read the values of the magnetic sensor. Then you could experiment to locate where the sensor is by placing a magnet around the phone.

Thanks. Discovered that the existing magnet is in the right place but just not strong enough. Tried to align it with a stronger magnet but still didn't work so ultimately cut it out and taped in a tiny rare earth magnet. Flip cover works fine now.
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjakub:
Hi,

I have similar problem (I guess).

I bought the original flip cover from ASUS, but it doesn't lock and unlock the phone properly.

I have to shift the cover far to the left, for it to be registered.

Now I am wondering whether there is something wrong with the phone,

or with the cover...

It looks like the magnet sensor in my phone is in the very left, bottom

corner of the phone. To the left and bottom of the back button.

I also checked where the magnet in the cover is.

The spot closest to that corner is almost an inch away from it.

I am attaching a photo with a little screw that was "picked up"

by the magnet in that spot. Could someone confirm where that

magnet is in the cover that does work properly?

Thanks a lot!
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
Have 2 covers like that and they both work fine.

Same placing of magnet. The only thing I find a problem is that it doesn't hold the cover closed so in the pocket my phone can get really hot due to the turning on and off of the screen. Now THAT'S a battery drain for you...
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sjakub:
Thanks for the response!

So if the magnet is in the same spot, what else could be wrong?

Wrong placement of the sensor in the phone?

Also, that screw is at the edge of the magnet, not in the middle of it - which means that most of the magnet is on the left side of the screw,

closer to the middle of the cover (and the phone once the cover is closed)...

[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sossy:
Hi. I have just inherited a zenfone 2, and as it was not working properly, i have had to do some repairs. I have changed:

- LCD screen and digitizer

- Screen frame

- Sim card and SD card board

- USB charger board

- loud speaker

- ear speaker

It all seems to be working great, except for the Flip cover, which now no longer works (it was working before I changed all the above parts)

Can anyone advise exactly where the flipcover sensor is located. I know it supposed to be near the back button, but is it located on the digitizer? or the screen? or on the USB board?

I can see the magnetic sensor is working on CPU-Z, however according to the readings, it seems to be located up near the top of the screen. I believe the Flip cover sensor isnt the magnetic sensor, but a hall-effect sensor down the bottom of the screen

Also, is there any app that can test if the Flip-cover sensor is working?
[Nexus Player General] devz3r0:
As of today 06/09/15 there is no working "Android TV" version of Netflix for the Razer Forge. On the Razer forums the staff keeps reiterating that having Netflix is one of their most important implementations, but nothing yet.

The available Nexus Player version(s) do not work by side loading on the Forge because they are a different architecture [Nexus Player is x86 (Atom) & Razer Forge is ARM (Snapdragon)]

I need someone to test (on the Razer Forge) the attached Netflix apk that I pulled off of my Nvidia Shield Console, which is also ARM, but 64bit. It came out of /system/media so I'm not even sure if you can place it on the forge without root.

If this Netflix is a 32bit compiled version maybe it can work natively on the forge or modified to work with it.

If not, it's hurry up and wait mode. My Razer Forge is currently at a relatives house else I would try myself, thanks for anyone that can give it a try or give some info of why it will / won't work.

lib<arm<libgnustl_share.so, libJavaScriptCore.so, libnetflix.so, libWTF.so

Netflix.apk

And the apk file is only 37kb
[Nexus Player General] patt2k:
I see so simply asking someone to extract the apk should be the same? I will be able to test today at end of day I hope!
[Nexus Player General] kjb86:
No problem. I wouldn't know how to extract it, nor do I have a shield (yet... i'm leaning towards it because the Forge has disappointed).

But would be interesting to see if it does work.
