I think we need a ROOTED device . isn't it?

thank you for your point.

Really interesting.

I will RELOAD ASAP (and test) to my VIRUSED firmware and i will try the suggested PROCEDURE to check if it's possibile to clean.
[General Questions and Answers] starla92:
Hey all,

I'm just a user (no clue about development whatsoever) but I've encountered the Chromes Apps on my Doogee XMax Pro device, too. I also have the fake facebook app (it has access to body sensors. Wtf are body sensors?!), the fake mail app AND a fake settings app. The fake settings app came first, that one didn't really use any mobile data but the fake facebook one uses a lot.

I have read some articles on the Triada virus and it has already tried to steal money from me via sms. I got an sms from my (hungarian) provider that I signed up for some game subscription (Around 5 euro/week). It was all in hungarian and looked super amateur...I did unsubscribe, which was acknowledged in another sms but as far as I've read the virus still might send sms without my knowledge.

I haven't used my e-bank on my mobile since I got this **** (I don't have an app, i just open the e-bank in chrome) but right now I'm afraid that it might somehow have siphoned my password (which isn't saved, but still) and might do something to my actual money. As previously mentioned, I am no developer (nor am I any good with IT in general) so I'm kind of panicky. However, I cannot turn off my phone as I constantly need the internet for my work at the moment.

I haven't resetted my phone yet because I first wanted to do some research, this is the best discussion I could find. However, I have only once before tried rooting my phone (which resulted in a disaster and some russian virus on my laptop as I couldn't find the original firmware for the Doogee...) and as already mentioned, have no clue about this kind of stuff so I would greatly appreciate your help.

Could someone perhaps try and make me a short 'tutorial' on how to at least try and get rid off these annoying viruses? Or at least give me a tip where I could find some firmware for my device? Or tell me what amount of panic is reasonable? :'D

Thank you!
[General Questions and Answers] garibald75:
Tonight i will try this fix and i will give my feedback.

To do that, i MUST reload the infected ROM.

WHAT I DON'T DO FOR THE SAKE OF SCIENCE!! :laugh:

EDIT:

Dear Friends, unfortunately the stock ROM from DOOGEE would unroot my phone and so i will not GO to install again the stock rom. I can't test it atm.

Someone else should try the above procedure to check if it works AND we will wait update from [MENTION=6524982]petr_n[/MENTION].

Sorry. Keep on touch on that.

Hi guys - I too have been plagued by the chromes app (triada virus etc) for a couple of weeks now. I tried the deleted the .jm folder solution, but it worked for about half a day....then fighting with chromes again. I then decided whenever I was out to turn off my data, as the chromes virus consumes so much data! - and at least I could still text people. Then I got sick of constantly un-installing chromes, and decided to tackle it by allowing it on phone :eek::eek: but then went and turned off all permissions for chromes. This actually worked quite well.....because normally once chromes is installed, I notice the data use growing to over 100s mb in a few short hours!....But when I turned off all permissions the data usage didn't grow....which was promising....However ...still dont want this disgusting insidious beast on my phone. I've had my doogee shoot 1 for almost 6 months and have been happy with it, up until this crap started happening. I've also installed 'NoRoot Firewall', not sure if helping or not? but got good reviews. Also yesterday after getting nor response from Doogee on facebook, I emailed every contact available on their website - as I couldn't join the forums either?? I expected no response - but did actually get and email, then another from the support (lol) team.

Hi friend,

Thanks for your email, we will release new ROM to fix that soon.

Best regards

So.....will wait and see...... but it's nearly lunchtime in NZ now, and cromes has not reappeared since yesterday??? Fingers crossed! I wonder if everyone else 's chromes issues are easing???

update....another week with Lineage OS 14.1 *** nothing good ****

Well guys i am updating you about the daily use of a Lineage 14.1 Rom on a TWRP-ed Shoot1.

News are not good:

1) Video in whatsapp, telegram, youtube stuck almost all the times you need to play them.

2) youtube is unusable: the zoom causes only a portion of video being visible.

3) Other general "guru meditations" ....and (quite) frequently the devices says : "App Buys...do you want to foce the exit?"

no good. definitely.
[General Questions and Answers] dabo_ku:
I have been struggling with this problem last few days. I found "solution" on a russian forum.

1. Force stop and uninstall "chromes" apps

2. Download some text editor on your phone i used jota text editor.

3. In file manager delete .JM and .SDAndroid folder (they are hiden folders on internal storage)

4. with text editor create two new files, content is not important just name them .JM and .SDAndroid

This will confuse the "virus" when it try to install chromes the packages that uses this folders cannot extract because the folder is now a file. This will not clear the malicious code, from what i have read its in the firmware.

This is last smart phone that i have bought.

[General Questions and Answers] marianneira:
Hi guys - sorry for delay - and I spoke too soon. The update was an OTA.....and although chromes 'triada' has gone, after about 3 hours more chromes started installing!. (android/trojan dropper,agent.bog) (on my phone anyway). It's worse than ever in terms of viciousness! As soon as eset detects it, I go to un-install, and the phone seizes, gets really really hot and is virtually inoperable for some time!...driving me crazy....have emailed doogee again but of course no reply ...as yet Dont know what to do......but still thinking of flasing a stock rom (problem with that though....how will I know if it's stable)??
[General Questions and Answers] garibald75:
[cut]

root is an operation that let you ACQUIRE the "root" privileges that means that you can be the Administrator of your phone without any limit.

This "Hand of God" however is not ZERO-risk. Infact the Android phones are intentionally sold with "admin" (non root) privileges to protect file system and to avoid that MALWARE programs could infect your phone and , in general, to protect you.

Unfortunately some "naive producer" like Doogee (and others) released the OTA update WITH virus inside that's why someone told you to root.

But, rooting is JUST the beginning ....infact after you'd root your phone you need to install a CLEAN stock rom .

I installed the LINEAGE 3rd party ROM but the phone is not working 100%....ehmm...it's working at 50% . So choose at the moment INFECTED PHONE or CLEAN Phone with reduced functionalities. I reported several things don't working with lineage 14.1.

It's up to you.

Other user reported the "russian trick": does anyone tested it? any luck?

please report.

Stay tuned.

I have exactly the same problem with "Chromes"

I have a Tecno W2 I bought about 3 weeks back. Can't

also get it off even with factory reset and it downloaded 6 files from internet that I never could find and took about 600 Mb and downloaded very fast as if it is not a busy crowded site where you have to wait for your info to be displayed. It did it especially when I went from cellular connection to Wi-Fi connection. My connection is quite slow (about 6 Mb per second at top speed). If someone have info it will be appreciated.

Hi there - my phone has been going ok (mainly) since I installed nougat 7 for doogee shoot 1. Obviously, you have a different phone, so will need a different ROM - but I strongly sugget you trawl through this website and find a suitable stable ROM for your phone as soon as possible. Because unless you manage to root your phone, you will not be able to uninstall the virus. It has been preloaded and will keep reappearing.....Good luck ;)

[Sony Xperia XZ1  Guides, News, & Discussion] icsaszar:
First off i'm not really sure where to post this because there is no durability section in real life reviews and i think this is more of a discussion than a question.

So what do you think of the durability? After watching this video i realized that this phone can benefit a lot from a case, since: the flash and color spectrum cover is plastic, the camera sticks out and the aluminum seems to be painted (at least in the pink version).

The aim of the thread would be to share experiences, findings (like exactly what kind of aluminium is used and is it painted or naturally colored) and maybe even guides that are durability related (like removing scratches).

As i inspected my phone i noticed a lot of hairline scratches on the back, after only one week of use, luckily they are only visible from certain angles in good lighting. They don't rub off (like htc or iphone back scratches). My first reaction was to maybe try toothpaste, but i think i'll hold off as of now. If i end up trying anything i'll add it to this thread.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nonta72:
Hi, I assume this this (click on me) is the ROM you're using. If so, you should have posted your question on that thread so you can get assistance faster. If you cannot post there, you could have used the ZenFone 5 help forum section available here.

Regarding your trouble, however, it seems that you're having SuperUser conflicts. Resurrection Remix Nougat comes with Magisk Root by default (unless the developer chooses SuperSU). So, the best option for you would be search how to properly use Magisk or contact the ROM developer and ask him to provide a version with SuperSU or without root so that you can install your own root.
[Huawei P8 Questions & Answers] RostK:
Hi everyone!

I moved some apps from internal to SD storage in order to release some space on internal storage.

I used build-in function for this: "settings - apps", choose app and from "storage - change" made transfer to SD.

Later I found that several apps are crashing and not working:

- Gallery, Camera, Play Store, WhatsUP (crashing immediately)

Also, when I press power button there is no window with "reboot, shutdown .."

And "GBoard" keyboard is not working, but "Huawei Swipe" keyboard is ok

It looks like some systems issue happens ((

Model: GRA-L09, EMUI 4.0.3, Android 6.0

I tried already:

1) to remove SD and reboot phone

2) to "clear cache and data" for Gallery, Camera, Media Storage, Play Store apps

3) wipe cache partition (with "Volume Up + Power button")

The issue is still the same :(

ANY Ideas how to fix it?

many thanks!

I am a beginner and have limited knowledge. Is there any simple set of instructions for getting root access (with SuperSU and repaired DRM). Plain instructions preferred.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] DJChameleon:
I have recently purchased a Mugen 3000 mA battery. I am thrilled with the extended battery life after fully charging and discharging it three times as recommended by the manufacturer. What I find annoying is that WM6 no longer gives accurate information regarding remaining battery strength. If I run the battery down to 2%, remove the battery and restart WM6 says 37%. At 2% I can repeat and WM6 still says 37%. After running down to 2% a third time and repeating WM6 says around 10%. After that it varies a bit but you get the picture.

What I would like to know is if one of you geniuses out there has discovered a registry edit, hack or 3rd party software that will provide accurate battery info so I don't have to be distracted by having my battery say 2% for hours on end or repeatedly remove and restart.

BTW, BatteryStatus Ver. 1.04.200 beta2 build 0173 reports the same incorrect info and so does SPB Mobile Shell 1.5 Home Tab.

Thanks in advance for your informed guidance. OK, that is laying it on a bit thick but I always highly recommend this site to anyone I know interested in really learning how to take full advantage of that little computer in their pocket.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] Heijdemann:
Take a search on XDA for Ariel monitor maybe it solves your problem.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] DJChameleon:
Thanks for the suggestion. It is a nice little program but it suffers from the same problem. I suspect I need to find a way to change the mA capacity WM6 bases it's battery calculations. I don't know if that can be done with a registry edit or if there is a third party battery monitor that has an option to change the battery capacity for calculation of percentage remaining or better yet auto detects the actual battery capacity. Ideally it would be able to both accurately read remaining percentage and make reasonably accurate time remaining estimates based on current and historical battery drain data.

It is like driving a car with a broken gas gage. Sure, you can use the odometer to estimate how much gas you have left but you are always worried your estimate is off and you will be left stranded without a phone ... oops crossed metaphors.

How do the rest of the users with extended batteries handle this irritating situation?

I know this problem also i will wait with buying a high capacy battery until i find such a hack
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] Jozer99:
The Kaiser uses a smartbattery. The battery capacity is based on the information that a small processor inside the battery tells the phone's main processor. There are several things that could be the problem:

1. The small processor in the 3rd party battery is programmed with the old specs for the standard battery. The is nothing you could do about this.

2. The small processor needs to be calibrated. You would do this as follows; set your phone to never turn off no matter how low the battery got. Now, run the phone down until the thing dies from lack of power. Then charge it all the way up. This should fix that issue. I don't recomend doing it many times, because it is not good for Lion batteries to be fully discharged too often.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] PhoenixAG:
This is a very valid issue which I have faced many times when using a 3rd party extended battery with other phones.

Not sure how to solve it though, although I have the 3000mah on order myself.

I think the battery reading is given by the battery itself, and most of these 3rd party manufacturers don't really care to put a smart processor in the battery (to reduce costs/make it smaller/etc).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] utbiglall:
I have the exact same issue and although it is a nuisance, I have found a workaround to keep using the phone. Simply physically removing the battery and replacing it will increase your remaining battery power substantially. I normally wait till the first low battery reminder to do this. Also, how do I set the phone to never turn off no matter how low the battery gets? This would also be fine with me.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] las vegas slim:
I didn't run into this issue until I reflashed my ROM to one with W6.1. Then, rather than get 12-13 hrs with my 3amp battery, I'd get 6. I used my original battery, but when I put the 3amp back in, I still had 47% left.

It's the ROM, and until there's a fix, it would be a pain to pull and replace the battery just to work around. I've done this several times recently when I'm on battery power, but I'd rather not.

Anybody heard of any other fixes, outside monitor, or do we wait until we get a Windows Mobile 6.1 fix?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] kcrumbley:
Still no luck?

Hello,

Has anyone been able to find a solution for this. I am ordering the extended battery today. I will try to fully discharge it and then recharge it as was suggested and report back.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] las vegas slim:
I emailed Mugen. We went back and forth with them trying to troubleshoot whether it's the battery or OS. They were clueless, but did offer an RMA to replace the battery. I pay the postage. Not sure if I'll send it back if it's the OS. I pull and replace the battery right now. It's a real pain, and I hate opening the case so much, but it's the only way I can get an accurate read.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] Jay2TheRescue:
The processor is required for these types of lithium ion batteries because it regulates the charging of the battery. If it didn't the battery would not charge properly, or maybe not even charge at all.
