Strange behaviour, possibly remote access? (screenshot) - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I woke up early one morning and found when I clicked my phone to check the time, I found this on my screen:
imgur.com/a/V6bQrUi
My phone was set in flight mode all night. I swiped the red X and it was gone.
The link seems to go to a twitter shortlink, which redirects to a blogger site, which again redirects to this shady (russian?) page:
sbs-online.xyz
Anyone have any idea what was going on? Have I been hacked?
An app I had running in the background was a tor browser (alpha) which was used the night before to inspect some glamorous ladies.
Phone: S7 Edge
Android version 8.0.0
Kernel: 3.18.91-13895453-QB19588583
Build: R16NW.G93FXXS3ERHD
Rooted with Odin and Magisk.
Any help appreciated.

I think I figured it out. Someone probably got access to my google account and have been spamming events in the Samsung Calendar...

Yeah, it might be that.
Make you change your passwords at least once each year ( best to change each month ) and to don't communicate them (but I assume you already know that.
And if you see an unknown link, don't click it, it may be dangerous

[Q] Generel use / tips

Hi all!
So I just bought the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.0 and its my first tab. I have a HTC Desire cellphone, so android isn't completely unknown for me.
Even though I do have a few questions, maybe you guys can help me with.
1)
I have seen many screenshots where people have different background for each screen. One homepage, one called music to the left and maybe one called games to the right (just examples). And it look really awsome, how do I get it to mine?
2) It says it can have different email clients synchronized, but I cant get my yahoo mail to cooperate with it - I have no idea why. When I try to add another mail than Gmail (which I dont use) then it wont accept it. I did wrote to Samsung but they have no explanation or what so ever.
I'm a new user and cant post any outside links. I found the guide at a site called androidspot - how to setting yahoo mail on samsung galaxy tab.
3) generel tips! I really love my tab and think it is a great machine and can, in some place, be a substitute for a laptop. And that is what it is. I do have the feeling I dont really use all its function or just half of them.
Hope you guys can help me
And btw, I'm from Europe therefore there maybe be som function I cant use, like Move Hub (Damn! This one would be awsome to have!).

Hi
I can only answer your first Q:
Get this App --> https://market.android.com/details?id=org.tamanegi.wallpaper.multipicture
Maybe you should try to get an OTA update from Samsung to solve your mail problem.
Otherwise flash a newer ROM.
BTW: Good choice for the tablet ;-)

To get that app, should I get into the app store or should I go through your link, with my tab? I actually had no idea we were able to download direct from the internet, thought we had to go through the app store?
What is an OTA update? I recently updated the tab, so I suppose I have what we call touchwiz at the moment? I have heard the word "honeycomb", is that another OS or same thing as touchwiz?
According to this site you need to upgrade to a Yahoo! Mail Plus account.
Or try this

You can use the stock email app using these settings. I will post a video on my blog showing step by step soon.

opening this link on your tab will result in a question if you would like to open this like with the browser or the market, choose market.
OTA means Over The Air. but therefore you need to have setup an account at samsung. can be done under settings - about phone (or something - last option).

I made it work, now I just need some great background. Thanks you
About a OTA, how do I get one? And mere important, what is it?
And yeah, hopefully it wont dissapoint me ;-) So far I'm happy for it. I have bought some games and for some reason it seems to have some problem playting them. Sometimes it suddently exit the game to the homescreen, and I have no idea why.

[Q] Groove IP removed from Market?

Hi people,
Can anyone confirm if Groove IP is removed from Market?
Maybe is set for US only? I was able to view 5 hours ago
Tried a VPN.. still nothing
oops.. Should I've posted this in QA? ._.
Thats odd, its gone and I am US. Did Google not like their voice service being used for this? They are usually pretty open with apps. It is still available on the Amazon app store. If it was freeware I would post an apk from Titanium.
Gone for me as well . I forgot to do another backup and went to redownload my apps. Only one not there. Wonder what happened...
I was thinking of buying it (and damn I missed the promotion..), but I got the apk to test it out.. thanks anyway
yea.. it's weird
I thought it could have been removed by the dev, but the amazon's version is still there
like you said.. google is pretty open with this and Groove IP has been on Market for a while.. 1 year?
I just emailed the dev and got an automated response. They're looking into it. Sales got suspended or something.

Still not too sure what happened. Was out for dinner and noticed an email from the android market. Basically an automated email saying that sales were being suspended. Still haven't heard back from the market support, they don't really have a good way for developer contact. The app doesn't violate any of Google's terms or any licenses and we've been on sale for almost a year. Not sure what the issue is.
I'm actually pretty upset about it. GrooVe IP was #1 in paid communication apps and in the top 50 of all paid apps. You'd think if they had found some issue they'd send us a notice or something. Hopefully it's just a mistake. Either way the app is still available from the Amazon app store and we've posted the latest android market version on our facebook page for those who purchased from the android market.
hopefully it will return to the market
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions &
Read the Forum Rules Ref Posting
Moving to Q&A
Arrggghhhhh!!!! I finally go buy a Galaxy Player yesterday and today the market decides to freak out on GrooVe IP?
The Amazon Appstore is not an option. I'm tired of their lunatic appstore constantly trying to hijack my Market apps and I'm tired of the appstore never having the updated version of apps I want. They only have version 1.2.16 of GrooVe IP while a newer version is supposed to be on the Market.
Maybe one of the carriers didn't like it all of a sudden? That wouldn't be new.
Still no answer to this but Groove IP's facebook page says they got an email from Google saying the app has been suspended. You can follow the latest from their facebook page:
www[dot]facebook[dot]com/pages/GrooVe-IP/118608074886558?sk=wall
(I have less than 8 posts so it wouldn't let me post a url -- so just replace [dot] with . )
Should be back on the Market now.

Working root for Veron Ellipsis 10 (QTAIR7)?

Hello. I just got the Verizon Ellipsis 10 (QTAIR70 tablet. Is there a working root method for it available? Thanks in advance.
I posted this question about 4 weeks ago and there has been no response yet. It's not even listed as a device on this site. It might be because it is from Verizon. They make it almost impossible to access your own device. This will be the last Verizon device that I buy.
Root Help please!

I'm in the same boat. Have an Ellipsis 10 and need to find out how to root it.
Ellipsis 10
Does anybody no how to root Ellipsis 10 im trying to figure it out . IF anyone can help please thanks
BUMB
Is there any news on this front
I also have the Verizon ellipsis 10 I have $500. Into mine, with all the accessories! I want to Root it. I had problems with my service, for over two weeks I wasn't getting any service, So I told them to disconnect me, because I wasn't paying for something that I wasn't getting. They continued to charge me for three months after wards. I wasn't even using my tablet at that point. They sent me to collections. I feel that after paying $500. For the products & getting screwed over, that I deserve to have better options & control of my device. Has anyone safely rooted this device???? Please help!
How do you get senior members to see your post?????
I have been watching this for a while. Does not seem like anyone is working on root for it unfortunately. I have had mine for a while and have been waiting for root not sure if it's going to happen. Good luck
Please root of custom recovery for qtair7
Can I install a custom bootloader on this? And root? In developer options it has an option for OEM unlocking.
I'm guessing no one with any knowledge or skills has one of these. A friend gave me his after he factory reset it and got locked out. It'd be nice to have root, and CM on it.

Just noticed your post.
I actually have one that I've been unable to get past the FRP on for the last month or so.
Would you be kind enough to share your knowledge on the bypass?
I'd be very grateful if you would.
Kind regards.

I also would love an frp workaround.. I have a client who has hired my computer security company to remove an frp lock from their grandsons ellipsis 10 tablet... he forgot his password...
Thank You for helping and being a part of XDA..
I know this is an old thread but the FRP workaround on this device is pretty easy. You have to side step the device setup download a few files and install them and then you can add and additional G account, then finish device setup and do a factory reset from the device settings screen.
Visit the following page and in setup you need to download and install Google acount manager 5 and the add a google acount apks. you then setup a new G acount through the browser. They have a youtube video on how to do it if you look for a link on their page.
lavileztechservice.com
I have unlocked a few of the ellipsis 10 tablets with the frp account.
If you need more help respond here and I can search my memory to help your out.
If you could help with this i would be GREATLY and ETERNALLY grateful! Plea$e contact me at
[email protected] Again thank you and I look foreward to your reply, I paid for this damn tablet and would like to use it for something other than a paperweight!!
Ok so I hear the bypass used here as mentioned used to work but if your tablet now has the latest updates, it won't. When I try to get In via browser it won't, stating that java needs to be enabled. Well tonight I finally slipped In and got into Google somewhat of a browser. And I can search and click links but when I go to try and download apk files, just nothing at all happens.
To get into the Google browser I go thru the setup till I get to verify account. Hit the forgot email, and typed in a phone number. Hit next band then it asks for first name. But now, on the keyboard below notice the small microphone. Tap that. Then, tap the settings icon on the left. After that, go to About on the bottom left. Then legal, on the right side. Then, tap privacy policy. On the very top look for the colorful GOOGLE and tap that. In. From there I can't get the apk files to download. Or if they are downloading, no option to open. Can anyone help from here??
just add 2 google accounts! first thru google account manager then thru settings under accounts and voila back out all the way to activation screen and finish the activation as normal and your done had to try different thing because info on this is very limited and the other tips did not work for me
side note developer mode would not turn on no matter how many times i tapped on build number while in bypass mode developer works once your in as main account
elipsis 10 bypass
so i am able to get to the part where i am supposed to tap it 7 times to get in dev mode but nothing happens, what do I do next?

I very wait a video can be root and open network of this tablet
I sold off the few Elipsis 10 tablets that I had, but you were correct in that they were not updated when I bypassed frp as the last update patched those vulnerabilities.
You have to experiment to get to the chrome browser and be able to install apks, same as almost any other android device with an FRP lock.

What happened to Mailwise?

Hi all!
I was just in the middle of switching stuff over to my new phone when i realized Mailwise is missing from the play store. The link from their homepage brings me to a "the requested url was not found on this server" error. I tweeted at them but since their last tweet is from 2014 i have my doubts i will get an answer. Are they dead, anybody knows what is going on?
Thanks for reading, much appreciated!
EDIT:
and maybe let me add on to this question: what email clients are out there you would recommend? i used k9 mail for a long long time, but since they kept the same interface through all those years it all looks a bit dated by todays standards. then i switched over to mailwise, which seems to be dead now.
i'd rather pay for a decent client and not have my mails stored in the cloud but if there's a free one that doesnt i wont be mad either...

However, I found the app on the Amazon Appstore. Download it quick and make sure to do an apk backup.

thank you very much! but i dont want to keep using an abandoned software with potential security risks that never get fixed. i switched over to aquamail and i am satisfied with it. https://www.aqua-mail.com
It's back
I was just searching email apps in the Google Play Store and Mail Wise popped up after being gone for a long while. It says it hasn't been updated since 2017 though, so wondering where they went and why are they back now?

Strange URLs from Playstore-Apps

Maybe this is a stupid question and I apologize in advance.
But maybe someone can direct me in the right direction.
I want to register an account with my weshare (car-sharing) app.
They authenticate via email which includes a link to the URL "umi-weshare://authorize?blabaasdas" which my browser opens (lineage 18.1 with google-apps).
Of course this fails due to "unknown url scheme" etc.
How does a stock Android handle this link? Turn it over to the right app? But how?
And if so, does a stock Android capture _every_ link I klick on?
How does this work? (normally)

Hmh, this is really strange.
The support says it works on iphone and "normal" Android. (The whole Volkswagen login thing is based on this. So I really believe it works "normally") But I am also sure it does not work on _my_ lineage.... As expected my browser (any browser) opens with an error...
And this is as it should work, I think. But how does it work on all the other phones
(the support also says it _only_ works on smartphones. So there is something happening I don't understand. Something like the OS scanning the URL and passing it to the right app.)

the link doesn't work "as it is" according to the weshare-support.
It magically only works on the phone.... ( it is supposed to work there, the support tells me. )
Ahhh, after one week chatting with the support this diskussion with you gave the right hint!
As you confirmed that the OS does not interfere I had the idea that therefore somehow the browser might pass the token back to the OS somehow..... (I am not a developer)
So I installed chrome on the smartphone and "alas" it works!!!
(chrome on the PC gives xda-open... error which is a hint as well.)
So I _have_ to use Chrome :-(
I already came across the next "bug". The street I live in exists twice in this city but the app only lets me choose the first "hit". So my postal number will be wrong! WTF....
As far as I know, this specially formatted URL like "umi-weshare://authorize?blabaasdas" is called an app link or a deep link.
There are many similar deep links.
For example, some URLs as below:
market://details?id=xadave.SmartUnitConverterFree_Google
amzn://apps/android?asin=B00Q3V4VNC
......
If you enter the second deep link above in the address bar of your mobile browser, it will open up the Amazon Appstore app on your mobile device and directly link to the detail page for a specific app which is available on the Amazon Appstore.
And the first app link will open up the Google Play Store app on your Android devices and directly link to some app in the Play Store.
So, I think your app link, "umi-weshare://authorize?blabaasdas", will link into your weshare app, too.
Android App Links are a special type of deep link that allow your website URLs to immediately open the corresponding content in your Android app (without requiring the user to select the app).
