I'm worried about a possible root virus - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

While I was browsing Google maps my nexus 7 made a noise. It wasn't quite the camera noise but it was close.
Then popped up some superuser requests from an "app" called dump state. I know I should have taken a screenshot of what it was asking for but one of the line codes was something about IP table possibly. I couldn't catch the word fast enough.
Anybody have any info on this?

It's not a virus, dumpstate gives you detailed system information.

Could this be used for malicious purposes?

i get this sound and request every time i watch a video, but i can get rid of the dialog that pops up asking what to do with the dump file and still watch the video. how do i find out what is causing this?

Yea I had this pop up twice. and I am not even sure how it was triggered. the first time was while i was on my way to work... and i left my tablet in my bag and when i took it out at the office my screen was on and asking for su and then wanted me to email it to myself or put it in drive.
2nd time just happened while i was leaving office today or rather while i was already on my way home from the office.
Im using PA2.99b8 and not clue how its triggered... any insights into how not to have it keep poping up as it drains battery cause it just leaves my screen on would be nice.

Its triggered by simultaneous pressing of volume and power. Simply delete bugmailer.sh to be done with the annoyance.

also where do i find this bugmailer.sh

It's an issue with superSU latest update. Chainfire is aware and will fix it tomorrow.
@ChainfireXDA: Cause of dumpstate found. Little to see here. Will explain later, gotta run to a birthday party now!

New YouTube App causing G2 to crash

Is anyone else having issues with the new YouTube app that was recently released?
Every time I press "back' during a video playback the phone freezes & crashes on me - is this happening to any of you??
yup. Happens to me each and everytime. I can only remedy it with a damn battery pull
Same happens to me, I had to force a reboot though ADB (It didn't fix anything when I uninstalled Youtube from ADB effectively killing its process).
It crashed once while watching a video and I pressed the back button. However, I've tried to recreate the issue and I can't get it to crash at all now.
Nope, working perfectly fine here.
It locks up on me when pushing the "back" button, too. Battery pull required. Boo.
Looks like I'm not the only one having this issue.... I hope they update it soon, the new apps pretty sick!

Same here on both of our g2's. One rooted and on normal. When hitting back it locked the phone up tights. Have to pull battery to restart.

Works fine here
Yeah push the back button then it gets all messed up... what an update.. I'm sure it'll be fix but not right away.. plus its really just the UI, just uninstall until its fix
Meaning about the UI isn't that the only real update?? Everything else seems the same..EXCEPT for the video playing on the spot once instend of extending the info

Yeah, it's good to see it's not just me. It's happened at least half a dozen times in the past couple days to me. Personally, I loathe battery pulls so I just sit and click back and home a few hundred times to get a fc option.

Happens to me too... Though not every time. But most of the time.

Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
yes same here because the rent is to damn high
It freezes on me as well
Hmm.. seems like I'm one of the few for whom the new Youtube is working perfectly.
It does the same thing for me - near frozen when I hit the back button on a video. The first time I did this I had the patience to eventually go through a power-off sequence (15-30 seconds between hitting buttons and getting a response). The second time I just did the 3 finger salute to reboot it.
Note that you don't have to pull the battery. Power-VolumeDown-Trackball is an instant reboot sequence (though it did take 5 to 10 seconds to perform it when Youtube was acting up).
Just a question here... most of you with issues do you have 1st batch/pre-release G2's? I only ask because I had a pre-release G2, and I had a crap load of issues with it. I sent that one back for an exchange to Tmobile, and got my new one yesterday. I have zero issues at all. New YouTube works great, I have full signal now, and, well the phone works the way its meant to work.

Play Store doesn't remember position in list

Hi,
I recall this being a problem on android years ago, and it was fixed, but appears to be back. If I am browsing apps in the Play Store, each time I back out of an app screen to the app list, the list repositions itself at the top, rather than reflecting the position I was at before I clicked into a specific app screen. When working through a large list this is a real frustration.
I haven't seen anyone else complaining of this which makes me wonder if somehow it is just me. I have tried clearing data, and uninstalling updates to no avail, and this issue has persisted across two factory resets.
I am running the stock factory ROM with the Trinity 7 kernel.
Any thoughts?

Yes, it does it for me and is very annoying.
Makes no difference whether I use the store button or the nexus back button.

Glad to know it's not just me, but surprised there hasn't been more noise about this. Unbelievable that something so simple can be overlooked.
same here, it works fine on my SGS2, but the list pops back to the top when on the Nexus.
Use Google Play in landscape mode...
Sent from my Nexus 7
^This..
Hold it landscape, you'll have your list on the left and it doesn't move on it's own as you go through installing.
I'm having this problem as well. No matter what I do its always going back to the top.
This is very annoying it does it on both my android devices, which is the Epic 4g Touch aka Samsung Galaxy S2 and Nexus 7, when you are looking at your apps history in the play store app. So when I want to scroll through my previous apps say on my nexus 7 and its incompatible and I hit back it goes to the top after I just scrolled through 1or 2 hundred apps. Same thing on my epic 4g touch. Also I think they should make it so you can just check off as many apps as you want like in email to delete but in the apps store so you can install multiple apps like if you factory reset or are into rooting. I hope they do something about this soon.

It does it on all of my android devices and yes it makes me mental as well. Also, why in the hell would they get rid of the purchased apps area? That is more annoying to me then going to the top every time.

That too is very annoying
Well, I found the Android bug site and, what do you know, other people have noticed this, too. So, if this annoys you, add a "star" to this bug report on Android's Google Code listing:
This is a crazy bug and I want to stop it.
For shame, Google, for shame!
I reinstalled all my apps manually for the first time in ages when I got my nexus 7. (Titanium is the bomb) and I about went crazy having to scroll through this massive list over and over...Google really needs to fix that!

[Q] Problems

Is anybody else having problems booting up after the new update to 4.1.2? I am having problem when i push the power button it don't work but after so many times of pushing and holding the power button it will boot up. I am afraid soon ill probably never get it booted up.
All fine here.

No problem here.

I'm having issues. Posted in another thread I started but the tablet boots itself when plugged in, freezes/locks if you unplug it when off so you have to push all three buttons, but the battery will be dead if you don't catch it in time, so you will have to plug it in. Craziness. See my post, I made a video too. Google is exchanging it and apparently sending my video to their engineers to look at. youtu.be/MCTogc0YQnw (can't past links yet due to post count)

Id say if your having issues, backup your data to your pc and flash factory image. Start clean and restore your data.

Nexus 4 issues

#2 when phone is sideways & recent apps button Is hit this happens..

Does the phone freeze and reboot when it does that? I think it maybe a hardware issue my old nexus s would have screens like that and then reboot I was able to get it replaced threw best buy because of said issue so maybe Google will do the same...

Sometimes it restarts phone . just depends I guess. Play music messes up every time I listen to music & phone locks!
I have contacted Google about these issues.. They never reply
I beloved I have solved the screen issue with hidden settings menu in the phone.. At least it hasn't happened again yet

I have the #1 issue sometimes. But not #2, never. Which option did you disable to fix #2? Is it something like "Disable hardware overlay" or "Force GPU rendering" under the Developer Options?
How bout I love to flash Roms but every time I lose half my memory so I have to box cloud everything if I do so I can format internal storage is this because the 8 and 16 GB models running in the same threads maybe?

Disable hw overlay . then rebooted phone & turned it back off. No problems since.
The play music however nothing has worked.
Google says to uninstall updates to it then reinstall updates.. I'll have to mess with it to see if it has worked..
I love the phone for the most part. It just seems like they rushed to get it out to sell.
Doesn't really hold up to all the hype ,Keyboard cannot spell allot of words. touch sucks on it (light touch). Virtual keys don't hide in games.
Battery life yea no life in it. Factory launcher is boring.. I could go on. Lmao
I'm almost ready to give apple a try
Their are quite a few smaller issues as well.
Snapdragon battery guru seems to help the battery a tiny bit.

Lines on note camera? Is it just a faulty device?

Not sure if new threads needed couldn't find a post to on it. Anyways my camera on the rear seems fine in daylight buy when the light drops I get loads of lines flickering. These show in picture below (on the roof top and bottom of windows right across the screen) . This is brand new phone (3 days old)
Should I take it back?

Dont ...... take it back yet. The next device u will get most likely will have the same issue.
This particularity happens when the device is connected to a wifi network. Try again while disconnected from a wifi network.
I also have this problem and changed the device the same day i got it. Same issue tough.

i got those once too. I was in my house and now that i think of it i was connected to wifi. Is it possible that they overlooked such a huge bug?
I have the same issues yes.. I think this is a big manufacturer bug when you are connected on WIFI.. not cool samsung, hope you can fix it with a software update but I think its hardware related..
I read this too late. I took the device back today and I'm now on my second note. I have literally just got in the door and connected to my wifi. Haven't tested it on wifi yet but there was no lines in town in dimmed light.
Another reason I took it back was because I kept having unresponsive power and home key buttons.
This was temperamental but still an issue.
Just did the 2 updates from Samsung hopefully this one will be alright

Solution
I added a simple tasker rule to disable wifi and mobile data while the camera app is running. I also mutes the dial tone volume to get rid of shutter sounds...
This phone needs some patching until rooting becomes possible without loosing warranty.
I am so pissed at Samsung. Their hardware team created perfection only to be ruined by the monkeys who make their software

I couldn't agree with you more.. Very disappointing that I spend a lot of money on a device i believe to be probably the best on the market for it to be ruined by something as simple as taking pictures.
But. . Touch wood.. This one hasn't produced the same lines... It did however lock up one on the day i got it requiring battery pull.
@JAMIE1000UK what's your new phone's software version? Mine's still MJ1 and I'm guarding it like gold, because with this I still have some chance of rooting, when I gather up the courage...
I'm running mj7 too. I'm pretty much the same. . Holding back on root.
Having said that. When I took out the phone I got phones4u care with it.
Meaning I get a direct replacement no quarrels within 21 days of purchase so shouldn't be a problem.

People are reporting that it only happens when using the camera when using wifi.
I took the device back as I use my camera every day. The bloke in the shop knew exactly what I was talking about before I'd even shown him the images.
Must be something in the configuration. Our maybe just the camera module.
No idea. Id take it back on Warrenty.
My new replacement is Absolutely fine.

no there isn't in many regional versions, such as the European Now that I am rooted, i could probably switch to a different region, but it would cause a factory reset, which I don't have time for currently

Mine happened on the original device I had after I'd fully updated it.
I'm on same firmware on the new device and I've never had the problem. Baring in mind that the phones arrived from same store on the same firmware probably from the same batch that they had delivered. .
