Anyone else get an alert from Google to uninstall Themer today? The alert said that the app may try to trick users into typing in their passwords. Any thoughts/news?
It appears it is some sort of false-positive: https://twitter.com/ThemerApp/status/461549169711144961

Keep up the great work. Themer runs great on my phone (RAZR HD) and I haven't had any battery life issues with it.

I've been trying to search but haven't found anything on this issue. A couple of weeks ago I noticed a number of apps that appeared on my All Apps list without me ever even installing them.

The two by martetrut and the casino one. I tried searching my phone for any trace of these apps and found nothing other than their appearance on this list.
Today, I looked at my list and now more mystery apps have appeared, with another app by that martetrut dev.
I downloaded lookout and Norton and ran several scans and they didn't pick up anything.... I'm a little concerned.
Anyone have any idea on what's causing this or had a similar experience? I'd appreciate any help/input.
If it matters, I'm completely stock.

Someone may be using your account to download apps. go to play.google.com on your computer, click on the gear in the upper right corner and go to My Orders & Settings.
The Orders tab can show you when the apps in question were downloaded.
Click on the Settings Tab and look under devices to make sure only your phone is listed.
Unfortunately I don't think there is a way to delete or unauthorize a device, but at least you'll know if someone else is causing those apps to show up or not.
Best thing to do is change your account password.

Yes, this was my first thought. I would guess someone is using your account to download apps on another device.
as other users said, it's probably someone else using your account.
maybe you gave/sold your old android phone to someone without wiping data.
btw, changing your password can be a good solution
I'm trying to use the new video feature on instagram. I'm able to view others videos but when I try to record a video it doesn't save my progress. It starts over and shows this message.

To verify that its not a rom issue I wiped and reflashed Black Jelly Beta...I also wiped and flashed Alpha and Padawan JB 2. I get the same results with all three.
I'm not sure if its a app issue or a problem with my phone. If anyone has any advice, I'd really apreciate it.
Thanx in advance

Someone over in the Q&A section had the same complaint. It sounds like the app isn't ready for prime time yet. Did any version of the app work for you?

No I have not been able to record video since they added the feature. I sent an email to instagram support but haven't heard anything. Surprise...surprise...

+1 to the list, getting same issue. If I run instagram on a non touchwiz rom and try to use the camera, the phone freezes. Finally able to get it up and running on a TouchWiz rom with camera working, but video issue is the same for me (won't let post, seems to record but then starts over asking to record up to a certain point)
I've had exact issue and it still hasn't been addressed almost a week later....
same here
Sucks that this issue still hasn't been fixed by instagram. Read reviews from play store and every single Note 1 user cannot use video feature. I bet if all these people would only rate only 1 star it would be addressed and fixed.

I previously asked this on the Xiaomi Poco Forum but didn't get much help. As I have a Poco with stock rom and still locked so I didn't think you would welcome my question here. However you are very knowledgeable people so perhaps you can help.
The attached screenshot shows the window that opens after i have clicked the Trash Cleaner notification. At the bottom is the option to have Folder Names uploaded to Cheetah Mobile's database.
Cheetah Mobile are a company that admit to selling peoples data and have recently had similar apps to this pulled from the Google Play store, It doesn't seem to be delete able and I'm not sure the acceptance slider switch would actually do what it is meant to. Perhaps that's just me being cynical.
Is this as concerning as it seems?
Thanks for the help.

Given the reputation of the company, if I were you, I would not use it. In fact I was using their browser before learning about the activities of the company and subsequently uninstalled it and formatted my phone.
EDIT: You are welcome here even if you are on stock, unrooted with unlocked bootloader. This is a place for learning and mutual help.
Hi, I solved this in the past but recenly I had to install again whatsapp on the same phone, and I can't remember how to do that. Also, I can't find anything in internet.
I have an annoying popup (I think it's called toast notification) that shows me an user come online. This doesn't happen often, but it does, and it does also when I?m not in whatsapp. For my privacy I don't want the people looking at my screen notify my contacts, how can I remove it?
It is something like that:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

Found it ? Normally you can adjust this completely in the settings of the app.
Settings on stock ROM's and custom ROM's can differ a lot.
And ... always look to the version of the WhatsApp app ... there are very ofter updates.
Installation is usually via Google Play, although not necessary.
Hi, thanks for answer, I?m using the same version I had before, after reinstalling I got them. As I wrote this problem was present in the past, but somehow I've found where to disable them/somebody somewhere suggested me or I've read it, I can't find more such information.
It can be inside Whatsapp settings, it can be on anroid permission fot this app, I can't find it! I've searched anywhere. I would love to never receive toast notifications in amy app, not interesting for me, these is a way to disable them at all?
It's a pity whatsapp wasting my phone battery comunicating always with the server telling me who is online, I don't get a f* about that, and also I hate somebody follow me if I'm online or not! Killing my privacy!
I have whatsapp plus and I've selected "tell others I'm always online" I hope it works
No ideas where I can find this toast notification?

Your problem interested us here....there are not that many people who still use Whatsapp Plus.
There's a reason.
The Google playstore banned it from its repository. They could no longer guarantee the safety of the app. (No wonder that you could not install it from Play Store.)
I can't say whether your problem stems from this, but you might ask yourself what the
advantages of Plus are and whether they outweigh the disadvantages.
Why not just use the latest official Whatsapp ? This has already been improved a lot
and these improvements are being worked on daily.
Greetings and take care ....
thank you a lot for your support, I appreciate. As I wrote it was working good, then I had to put out my simcard to another phone and activate whatsapp there, when I've placed it back I needed to reinstall whatsapp and it misses now that setting. I was able to suppress it in the past, but I don't remember how. There shoulld be a way..
I need this to check the removed messages, and to filter my privacy only to the right persons. Whatsapp doesn't help about that, so I'll keep on this
For a while now (10-14 days) my google assistant has not been working properly. Specifically, it does not listen on the screen off. If I turn on the listening manually, it works as expected. I have looked for information and it seems to be something to do with GDPR. Is it currently possible to run 'ok google' ? I would like to add that the phone is set in Polish (PL) and I would like to keep this language

Try disabling and re-enabling your voice detection. Maybe clear data for the Google app and retrain your voice model.

If you find any solution, pls let me know.
I tried everything I could find. I've updated to Android 13 but it still doesn't work. I'm hoping it's a bug in Google app and waiting for fixes in updates.
I uninstalled Google app updates and now it's working again (working Google app version 13.48.11.26). So, it's definitely a Google app bug.
