Malware issue? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

So one night, after a few too many, I stupidly downloaded a version of Madden off the internet. After minimal research, my intoxicated brain figured, what the hell. After later reading this game was most likely malware,I deleted it and anything I could find in storage that seemed related. Not sure if this is the culprit, but ever since around then I get these yellow pop ups in my Yahoo mail app. See attached photo. I don't get them in my Yahoo mail on my pc. If I click on it, (had to try it once) it takes me to a "web page not available" screen. I've since done a complete factory reset, manually gone into cwm recovery and formatted everything, including the SD. Flashed a new Rom, Goldeneye, and once booted, first installed Yahoo mail app, fresh from market, and only Yahoo mail app and bam, Yellow malware looking email pops up first thing. I even changed Yahoo password on my pc, installed trend security, and at one time Norton. Neither showed any issues. Only have issues with Yahoo mobile, no other apps. Haven't seen any abnormal data, or messaging usage, and no one has informed me of receiving suspicious email from me yet. What is it, and how the hell do I get rid of it?

It's probably ads in the app, I've noticed an increase in ads lately in free apps. I assume you could always try adaway or something.

Not sure if it's ads considering my wife runs the same app and she never has this

Get a malware program from play store and see what it finds.

It says sponsored. It's nothing more than advertisement that Yahoo is throwing at you. Your wife probably hasn't gotten hit with the wave yet.

^ clearly States Yahoo free mail and mobile versions run with sponsored ads. Ask.com is a sponsored ad of Yahoo. Yahoo mail plus is the only way you'll get rid of sponsored ads.

To make sure u don't have malware, Get "AVL" on the play store and scan your phone.

Market Server Error

Anyone having an issue with the market where you can download apps etc. But if you try and look at "My apps" or "My downloads" it gives you a "server error has occurred. Retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen?"
Started last night, tried everything I can think of.
Anyone see this before?
Ditto for me. FYI, my market app was an apk install. I didn't wait for automatic update.

Anyone have another idea short of factory reset/flash new rom? That's my next step but I wanna give it a few days to see if it possibly could just be a Google server error for me.

I also have this problem, tested on every Rom in Rom Manager. I believe the problem us that I am using google as apps for my main email address. I tested with a factory reload with my gmail address and the market worked. Then I tired adding an credit card to my google apps account from my pc without any luck.
I previously made purchases with my google app account, but am no longer able to even view previous transactions. The problem is on google ends, but I have no ideal in to fix the problem or who to contact.
To complicate things further any new google app account works in purchasing apps, just the account that had previous purchases before google upgraded google apps to allow google apps account to work across google products

Good to know its not just my issue. And FYI, im using a regular Gmail account, not Google Apps account, so at least it doesnt appear to be an issue limited to that for me.
Had the same problem running Redemptive rEVOlution 2.1.3. I just started yesterday. I didn't update the Market, tried clearing cache/data/dalvik cache. Also on 3g and on wi-fi. I did update the kernel a couple of days ago and can't remember if I accessed the market since then (I think so though). I finally gave up and decided to flash to a different ROM today. Going back to SR for a little while. I am also not using a Google apps account.

Did that fix your problem? flashing a new rom?
I've been using the same ROM and Lou's #4 kernel for a couple weeks now. Only recently I've notice issues with the Market. I'm sure future updates will clear things up.

For the most part. I see it sometimes but I can hit retry and it eventually goes through. I also loaded the new market though.
For the record, I have the same issue on my Desire HD.

I installed the market early myself. Regular Google Account.
I was receiving the market error as well but about 30 minutes ago it started working.

Same here.
I got to work, tried it on both WIFI and 3G, appears to be all good now.
Must have just been a google server side issue after all.
Edit: and I did get automatically updated to the new market once I went in the second time. FWIW

[CONFIRMED] New Google Market working with MarketAccess in Canada

I just rooted my I9100 XXKG3 Bell phone with CF-Root and installed MarketAccess to allow downloading of US restricted apps. The cool part about this app is that it actually works with the new market version. Notice how my Bell Canada Galaxy S2 phone shows as being enabled into Market:

}
So far I installed Google+, Books, Music and TV Remote (I plan to get Google TV soon), all working perfectly with my US Google Apps account. So it is possible to get/use US based applications in Canada.
For those interested to learn more how I did it, I use StrongVPN as service for a US IP address in New York and have a Cisco E4200 DD-WRT router connected to my Netgear ProSafe VPN Firewall SRXN3205 router. In this way, I get the best of worlds... a wireless Canadian and US IP address. I got this setup going originally because I wanted to see all the US based movies for Netflix on my TV, while in Canada. I used a free Google Apps account and set it to United States as base country. I can sync now my mail, contacts, music, videos, etc. with one single custom account (@yqed.com) on both my Samsung Galaxy S2 and Tab. For paid apps, I use my regular Canadian credit card, it works fine to purchase any apps. The key (I think) is the Google Apps account to be set in United States.
Here are some screenshots:
hmm... i'm using the latest Android Market and /or Google Market and i don't even need to do any of that
it works just fine in Windmobiles
Do any of US restricted apps install and actually work for you? You have a Canadian provider SIM card in your phone? One thing is sure, it does not work with Bell... as soon I disable the MarketAccess, all US apps are gone. All my restricted apps work properly, for example I'm able to sync music from my PC to all my devices with Google Music. The songs pop right away into app. I was also able to rent and watch a video from Google Videos, not that I plan to use this service but still...
More updates... I noticed that even if I disable the MarketAccess, I still have full access to restricted apps in my browser. I removed the app, did a cache cleanup with CWM and restarted the phone. The apps are not visible anymore into Market but I was able to install fine Google Videos from the browser. That is nice... Let see if Google remembers my fake carrier forever.
Has Google lifted market restrictions? I just tried searching for an app that before I was restricted to and I was surprised to see I can download it now!
Heh, really? What app was it? Before installing the MarketAccess today, I was getting the dreadful "This item cannot be installed in your device's country" message.

Ooops... not really, maybe just the app became available, still can't access Google Music... too bad
That is easy to fix, you only need a VPN provider. Then it will work.
The secret is to actually have the router running as VPN server, or else your app will detect the Non-US IP and fail miserably. DD-WRT does that very nice.
will try that but how about if I'm away from the router? Will MarketEnabler do the trick for Google Music?

You only need MarketAccess (MarketEnabler is confirmed not to work with the new Market version) to install the Music app and you need an US IP to configure it for the first time into your phone. This is critical, using a VPN directly into your phone won't work. If the app detects an non-US IP, it will not enable the streaming features over a Google account. Once the software link is created to your account, you can use/stream music from any IP in the world. It would be pretty useless to have the app if Google allows you to download your music ONLY when you are in States.
I tested the app to upload new songs from PC with my Canadian IP, as well streaming music on the Music app. It works as intended. This how the app streams a 320kpbs song:
This is how the app widget looks like:
I see... Thanks for the heads up, will get to setting up a US vpn first prior installation. The app looks really cool, something to look forward to.

N app compability list

Hey all. I thought I'd start a thread where we can track what apps are not working for N. This aims to help us both using N, to have a place to track, and those who potentially want to use it, but may be hesitant due to app compability.
I will update the thread once daily. This will only list apps that AREN'T working in some fashion.
Please, feel free to contribute.

There is already a thread like this in the themes and apps thread. I do agree that it should be in general though. There is more talk about android N in the general section.

Hotspot not working here either.
Also can confirm TWC TV is not working well, as stated it crashes every time upon clicking "Live TV." Google Messenger does force close galore for me as well.
Another one not working for me is the not very popular Salesforce1 app. It just constantly flashes the opening splash screen and never loads the actual app.
Instagram does work for me, although along with most of my other apps it flashes up warning messages about libraries upon opening it.
Not sure if its just me but Netflix just shows a black screen but plays audio. It was working when I first flash the preview but it stopped working recently.

Sync contact images with FB / other social media and store as account info

I've got an S8, but this problem might be "Android generic" as well...
I've got one Exchange, one Google account. I'd like to sync the two, so that all my contacts are in BOTH places. While I was doing this, I also wanted to update the contact pictures with whatever my contacts have set up on social media (read: Facebook - Google automatically gets the Google Plus image if someone has an account there). Note that I want the pictures to be ACTUALLY stored as part of the contact information in a given account - not just displayed by the phone through some trickery.
Thus far I've had only limited success. I was able to copy the accounts using Contacts Organizer app (paid) and I used Sync.ME to get the latest social-media images. But while the Contacts Organizer allows me to merge the accounts nicely (there's some manual merging that needs to happen in Google Contacts at the end, but it's not that bad) and it even allows me to "copy" the contact information from Sync.ME (which contain a current picture), UNFORTUNATELY, the copying process seems to take picture miniatures, rather than full resolution images that are available. Obviously with Sync.ME installed and configured, the phone displays the high resolution pictures where available, but this information isn't actually saved - as soon as I remove Sync.ME the pictures vanish (and since the app displays ads, I'd rather not keep it around).
How do people update the contact pictures these days? I can't imagine people go around and take photos of each other all the time - I'd imagine people rely on social medial profiles of their friends for the latest selfies and such. Except that Facebook app no longer seems to synchronize contact information, so that leaves Sync.ME (which, in the end, is an add-filled product) or manually updating the images - which I don't believe people actually do. So... how do people manage the images? How can I sync these things up?
Search Google Play for "CoSy - Contact Sync ", I use it and it works like a charm!
i use Sync.me
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.syncme.syncmeapp&hl=ro
guys,
the sync problem between FB and Google (android) it's from FaceBook.
They blocked the android access to FB api's.
Hi,
Sync.me, as Eusuntflopi mentionned, works like a charm for me
Sync.me would only match about 20% of my contacts with facebook. CoSy matched 100% and even searched facebook for the people that I didn't have on my friends list. It also seems to save the pictures to my google account so if I remove the CoSy app, the pictures remain.
Thanks for the replies everyone.
Sync.Me was good, but it's a paid app and the free version was pretty annoying to use. Plus, it doesn't ACTUALLY place the photos on the contacts - it just adds another account to your device which has the photo information. CoSy actually adds the photos to the account data, which is what I was looking for. Thanks again!
Syncme sucks, i tried it. Theres an app called "contactsyncduck" i found online when i was searching for something that would work. Google search "FB app" and it should be under images. You can download straight from there. Cant miss it, it's a duck. Lol. Its the only thing that works. I just did it. Its a pain because it takes time to do. You have to get the fb profile id number of every contact and write it a special way in the note section of the contact. Make sure you delete any picture you have attached to your contacts before you sync or you wont see their fb profile pic. App is awesome, syncs everything. Works amazing, you just gotta be prepared to spend some time doing this. Totally worth it, i swear! I have an android phone so im not sure if it works with iphone. Good luck! Read the instructions in the "about" section of the app and follow them. Will not work otherwise, its not automatic. Good luck!
CoSy did the trick for me. I will continue to utilize it and see if it holds out over multiple days/weeks.
I've been using the Sync.me app but recently it hasn't updated the contact pic even though it has a matched up FB profile.
Going to switch to Cosy and see how that works out.

Same here! It actually started last night with that "harmful app" notification. I can't find it in the play store either.
It was probably pulled for some reason... I'm hoping it's something simple and it'll be back up on the play store.
I'm gonna wait out a couple days and see. Maybe email the developer.

Looked up the developer and he posted an update on his website.
He's in contact with Google, back and forth, apparently because they think his app is "spying".
Developer explains not so.

Since it's not on the google play store you would probably have to find the apk file to install on your own.

Thank you, this did it for me as well. I searched google and ddg for a couple hours with no luck finding the suggestion of turning off the integrated web server. Alexa nagged me about Chrome needing it's certificate updated, Amazon shopping just kept on saying an error had occurred. A little more verbosity from the programmers when an error occurs would be nice.

Thanks for your own followup. Saved me some search time ! I tried installing both certificates the "new" adaway app proposes but to no avail so I also just stoped the webserver (which never caused such issues before the "new" adaway)

I was resigned to the fact it just wouldn't work.
I turned off Adaway ad blocking and the Alexa app works
Absolutely sick and tired of Amazon.
The amount of money that guy makes from people buying from Amazon and he wants adverts to be forced or things don't work.
He reminds me of the bad guy from Ready Player One.
A complete douche kebab.
PS: yea the fix is to disable adaway, but I pray someone finds a way round that.
I absolutely loathe ads.
If anyone is curious, you don't have to turn the integrated web server off to use Amazon. Just add *amazon* to the Allowed list, hit apply and reboot.
