Virus? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I have a Galaxy S2 with wanamlite android 4.0.4. And I receive strange notifications written in Chinese or so ...see first PIC.
And also when I try to share a webpage I have an unexpected option 'adult video' ... see second PIC.
Can you help me get rid of that please?

Probably an app with some nasty side effects. First run a virus scan by downloading avast or lookout. If that doesn't show anything weird then try to remember which app you installed last and a last resort is a factory reset to remove any app you've installed.

Not a virus. It's something you've installed.

OK I just ran lookout and it founds nothing harmful.
I've been having these notifications for a while now so I really don't know which app it can come from.

I installed Air Push Detector which seems to indicate that the app FLV Video Player pushes air ads. Do I uninstalled it and I'll see if there are no more add.

Apps auto Organizing

Some of my app, in the app's menu, switch pages and are opening new page every time I reboot my phone.... How can I stop it.
I assume you're using TouchWiz (the default launcher), and if you are then search the market for AppZorter. That should help
doesn't help.
anything else?
Sorry for the double post but this is really drive me crazy

you have an app that is causing that to appear. Find the app and uninstall it. I think there's some app on the market that searches your phone for the culprit but I have not needed this app so I dont know what its called. I'll leave that to someone else who might remember what it is.
Oh weird. Thanks. I look into it

Its most likely the Mp3 download application. Download airpush detector to see what app is causing the ads

The app actually works really well for music, it just occasionally puts an advertisement in your notification bar haha

Wierd Web page problems after root.

Hey there, so I rooted my sgs2 a couple of weeks ago since then I have not been able to log in to heavily encrypted Web pages. For example when I try to load the log in Page for commonwealth bank to use net banking it simply comes up with the annoying upside down android bot saying the Page cannot be loaded.
I have re flashed the stock rom and unrooted but still no resolve. I even called my bank to make sure there were no network issues on their end.
Other than that I have wiped both the system and dalvik cache before unrooting.
Anyone have any clue whatsoever that could solve my dilemma?

Download a different browser from the app store and try again?
I usually use dolphin HD, I tried using the stock browser, opera mini and Firefox, they all return the same result.

Have you tried chrome? But if I were you, I would run an anti virus software that you can get on the play store just in case, especially when you are going to be signing in to your bank account and it is saying any sort of error.

Tried that and it came up clear, but I have managed to find success!
After flashing CM9 and also a new modem kernel its all come back to normal.
Must of been the previous rom I was running causing the issue? Bit odd but mehh I'm happy

XDA APP not working

Anyone else having problems with the XDA APP?
It's not displaying topics or favorites. Keeps saying can't find posts or that it failed to connect to database.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Works fine for me. Check your connection and clear your app data if the problem persists.
Sent from my GT-I9300
I've had similar problems before the only solution that worked for me was un installing and reinstalling the app. Any one use ivona speech engine, I'm having issues with it, keeps stop responding, along with Facebook after latest update.

Get rid of the ad blocking apps. For some reason, they don't play nicely with the XDA app.
My first post!
Rolled back a version here, now works. Hope it's not because of ad blocking...

Decided to remove the app and reinstall it.
All working fine now.

I use AdAway. No issues on the XDA app.
Its funny because I thought I was the only one having issues with the xda app. Didnt want to make a thread because I thought "it works fine for me" statement would be the only response. This is both xda and xda premium app for some reason.
Im having issues on 3 samsung devices. Galaxy note, sg3 and galaxy note 10.1.
Thanks to the previous poster that posted link to xda app support bug thread.
Mines been doing stuff lately, I believe it's all server side.
First my profile "didn't exist" that came back 2 days ago
Yesterday I got something like " search not available "
All ok today though.
I'm sure I read a few days back they've been changing stuff on the server.

Yeah mine has been mashed for a while. Keeps fc and can't go on search posts I've done.

Blackstar ROM and Google

Every so often I get a different on screen google message during phone calls; e.g. "you lost me at java" or, currently, "what a wonderful world."
Does anyone know what's behind these aphorisms or from where they are pulled?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
That should not be any part of the rom. Sounds like you have a rouge app causing this.
Never heard of that. Screenshots?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
Here is a cropped screenshot during a call with the contact info cut out. I realized that it only happens when I'm calling a contact whose gmail I have stored.
Might it possibly have something to do with gchat or the gapps package?
Thanks

Weird. Definitely a Google app, just never seen it before
