[General Questions and Answers] lamprosmax1987:
As you see in the title the model that i have (not rooted), i tried many apps for mirrorring and recording but to no avail. It says that permission is not granted and one app said that "even the feature is supported by Android 5.1, it is not part of the software on this device".

Is there something i can do about it?

Thanks in advance.

Hello all

I have Lenovo Yogabook, the device keep rebooting randomly after i upgraded OS to Android 7.1.1

Device not rooted, the upgrade pushed by lenovo,

It used to work just fine on android 6.0 i got notification for software update, i updated the device, after that it start rebooting randomly, sometimes every day once, sometimes twice a day, no errors message.

Reset the device to factory not an option, do you guys have any idea about this issue, is there somebody having same issue? If there any solution?

I called tech support and they said the software not supported, only for first 90 days after that i have to pay $39 for the software support, and this is bogus.

I'll never buy a Lenovo devices again.

[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] AlanJC:
I have this issue after the most recent updates, although that's the only bug I've experienced with it. It only seems to happen when it's not being used for me, but I'll go to use it and it's waiting for the pin to boot up which is quite frustrating. I'd say it happens at least once every 48 hours.
[Lenovo Yoga Book Questions & Answers] Willem177:
Reboot randomly + keyboard issue

I have the same problem and it happens only if it is in sleep mode. When you open the device i can not use the Helo keyboard. After restart the unit works perfect until you let it go in sleep mode for a longer time.

My unit was just a few days old, Support told me to send it back and if there is no damage they send a new device.

hopefully this will solve the problem despite I am convinced that this is a software problem

Any such knowledge for the m9?

[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] NoodleFox:
For sure on the top half of the phone.

according to this, it's on the when looking at the front of the phone. The GPS seems to be the BCM4774 chip (see link under)

https://www.broadcom.com/products/wireless/gnss-gps-socs/bcm4774/

and to give you an idea, here's the phone opened (you see there the other side of the motherboard). I'd say the GPS is 2cm from the top of the phone
[General Questions and Answers] garibald75:
Dear friends,

i am struggling with a strange APP named "Chromes". It seems to be undocumented (i googled a lot).

The only thing i know is that IT INSTALLS ALONE without any visibile message. After a Factory reset i found it (AGAIN) in the phone.

I couldn't SEEK what / when / Who installs it in my phone.

It gains telephone and archive rights without any ask to me.

I also know that my doogee phone suffers of a vulnerability (never closed) by DOOGEE and i don't know if it'd be related with it.

No clue.

Does anyone have had the same experience? Does anyone have EVER seen it?

Let me know please.

Best Regards.

EDIT: ****warning: I remember to everyone that ROOTING/HACKING/INSTALLING a different ROM in your phone may void the warranty AND can potentially BRICK your phone . Do it ONLY IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING . I warned you.*****

[General Questions and Answers] iRunFromTrolls:
i just found it on my phone too and started googling it.. and yours seem to be the only instance ive found so far.. i dont know what it does or where it comes from.. i can close it from the task manager but itll start itself again 3 processes that itself have about 2-3 services.. mostly ChromesService DaemonService and ChromesService2 the main proces seems to be signed from com.appclone.lyhj the second one doesnt have the daemonService and is signed from com.android.qnsettings and the third one had com.yunshi.market listed. again i dont know there they come from or whats their purpose.. and if they have anything to do with the ad popups i get since a few days now that dont seem to be app related since its the same popups for most apps .. apps that dont have those popups natively like whatsapp or facebook. i have since uninstalled pretty much anything and tried some antivirus but i guess its gonna be rooted and gets a custom rom. it is also a china cell called nomu s20 . after googling a bit it seems there are a lot security problems with my device.

edit: ive found something on this link i cant post because i am not a trusted user yet

also after running kaspersky antivirus it did indeed find something (as opposed to the comodo antivirus that kept silent)

it found Trojan.androidOS.Boogr.gsh as the chromesBase.apk and another one i just deleted without writing the name. it seems though this might be related to the Triada-Virus/trojan .. soo.. yeah it might be a good idea to save your stuff and not only try with a factory reset but completely reinstall the whole rom.

edit2: just deinstalling them hasnt solved anything .. the problem sits way deeper meaning it is definitely related to the triada virus. it just reinstalls the software again without anything showing.

edit3: found it.. it is indeed the triada virus on my phone ..
[General Questions and Answers] jmam:
I have been dealing with that damned "Chromes" app for two or three weeks now (BTW, they appear two of them with the same icon and logo.)

MalwareBytes detects it as malware (Avast sometimes does, sometimes does'nt)

I have trie , for sure , uninstalling (completely unuseful) stopping all the apps I can (seems to have an effect in the reinstalling time ), and also keeping them installed but removing the Phone, Storage and SMS permissions, which, surprisingly, remain removed (until you uninstall the app)

I dealed in the past with the virus app on the Shoot 1 firmware, which turnaround solution (disabling the fake app) worked OK for me. But recently there have not been any fw update, so this time is not the firmware the responsible.

Any hint or help will be greatly appreciated.

I'm having the same problem as you two. I can't believe that Doogee has screwed up on this again... (I also have the shoot 1 [nice screen :D]) I'm surprised that, as you said, I've not found anything on the internet about this*. In addition, the application consumes a large amount of mobile data!

I hope there is an update soon, and that the problem is solved :)

[General Questions and Answers] m Cr:
And your GPS signal how is it going? In my case it does not get fixed to any satellite. Has someone managed to root it successfully? The truth is that I do not understand much about this, that's why I'm a bit afraid to do it.

I found this in a spanish forum, look at the last post (#19). (I think you have to translate it :D)

http: //ww w.htcmania. com/showthread.php?t=1291106

Summing up a bit, he says that Doogee sells mobiles with malware in the system. The fact is that they do it conscientiously. And then put a "solution", which is to install a firewall, so that you can control the internet connection of the applications.

Thanks again!

Some updates...

let me give you some updates :

1) the Shoot 1 phone is not easy to root with standard tools (kingroot & others: i tried a lot of them);

1) i successfully installed twrp with the FLASHTOOL and a specific recovery image TWRP + SU (if needed i can help about it);

2) I backupped everything (included malware of course) just to be sure i could go back in case of brick;

*** 3) I downloaded and installed the FANTASTIC lineage OS without any STUPID bloatware. ***

My phone is secure and fast NOW.

i warmly RECOMMEND all of you to root and update to lineage OS 7.1.2 (ver 14). Thankx to the lineage team! **they deserve a donation!!****

* about Shoot1 GPS *

i still didn't test it with the new LINEAGE and i will update you

Before i discovered the malware inside the GPS was not fixing correctly and in general not working like my previous LG or HTC

I was using an external BLUETOOTH antenna by using a middleware driver named Bluetooth GPS. Once you configured the driveer it works like a charm with tomtom and all GPS software ( i tested a lot). The external GPS solution lets the phone cold and free to charge during long gps travel session.

I will test anyway with the internal GPS again with the new LINEAGE ROM.

For any test or info write here and send me a PV message.

UPDATE: the lineage team is releasing the version 15 (development) with OREO. Anyway i will not install it soon. I am SOOOO SOLID now!
[General Questions and Answers] garibald75:
Unfortunately you can't get rid of it. No one knows if there is another fake app or background service that loads it again. It seems to appear (after a factory reset) some days later (i.e. just the time to download from whoknowswhere).

The fact is that I CAN'T TRUST ANYMORE the Doogee and the entire ROM so i warmly suggest you to ROOT (via TWRP + SU) , backup all, and install a LINEAGE fresh n° 14 release for shoot 1.

i did it and it worked like a charm.

[General Questions and Answers] garibald75:
I am really sorry to say that. The SUPPORT from some of these Chinese Supplier is really poor. I can't help you with your GRETEL . Please search on this XDA forum is anyone can do .

Root it and install a reliable distro. Be careful: when you root your phone you loose your WARRANTY and (sometime) some functions of your phone is not available or not available at 100%.

Custom ROMs should be considered ALWAYS as "bleeding" and "in development".

As i said i will never buy anymore low cost China phones DUE to this lack of support and this (unbelievable) disattention to release malwared firmware.
[General Questions and Answers] garibald75:
I struggled a lot to remove it with normal antivirus and antimalware.

It seems to BE NOT POSSIBLE without a rooted phone.

In my phone there were 2 problems:

1) the malware CHROMES

2) the injected system library (dunno what it does).

So , once i removed the CHROMES %$£"%$£% app....i could not know if it was related (or somehow connected) with the malware injected system library. So i couldn't trust anymore that factory o.s. and i replaced it with LINEAGE (atm something not working 100% like GPS) but at least it's clean and works.

I hope LINEAGE could support more chinaphones to get rid of the buggy malwared firmware from Doogee, Gretel and others Chinamakers

Hi,

No, I didn't send a reclaim to NOMU, but I will if the problem still after some days. I saw on a german forum translted with google trad that a guy find a solution for the nomu phones, with rooted the phone with the software of official nomu phone. I tried, but without any sucess, because after few hours Chromes was coming back. This morning a tried the same operation but with a formated SD card : maybe the SD still had the virus. I let you know of it's work !

Good luck guys and have a nice day !

Would be good if you can START with a complete clean SD and Phone. Then , please, MONITOR if:

- it's inside the phone once you start up the phone (after the factory reset);

- it will appear once you ENABLE wifi and internet.

The root of this morning with clear SD card (inside the phone) works for me until now. I send you the links if it still work for some time.

(But simply, I rooted the phone with the old basic version proposed by NOMU on there website, and I didn't uploaded the phone to a new version after). [EDIT : With 4G enable, but without wifi. Anyway, yestarday the wifi was disable too, and Chromes came back, so it's not the WIFI)
[General Questions and Answers] Leakaso:
Just a thought. Why should I root my phone and go thru all the troubles if Malware and AntiVirus applications recognize those "chromes" and "facebook" as viruses - so why cant they make a tool that ACTUALLY removes them and not just uninstall?

I can uninstall it myself . The problem is that it keeps reinstalling itself. So there should be a way to find the file that sits deep inside somewhere and reinstalls those viruses. That is what antivirus application should find and remove.

5. create file .jm in same location
