pop up spam alerts? on android device?

help, can some one help me give me some info.
ive posted about this on the official nexus one forums, but it is not directly related to the n1, its more of an android thing. here is the link.
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/android/thread?fid=045ddfb6b42270460004806c59d11f9d&hl=en
if any1 has any input please respond in the nexus forum or here.. thanks.

google owns admob. you're going to get ads in almost any app you open up. only way to get rid of them, as far as i know, is to root your phone and install an adblocker. you need root privleges for that to work.

Weird, I've never had anything like that on any of my Android phones. Definitely would be annoying though. The text message spam isn't as weird as it popping up under the official OS, this doesn't sound admob related to me though.

nopes
this is not admob related.. its not diff advertising.. its the same company, advertising local nyc party events. but its the same company party promoter.
and also the text and pop ups are two separate incidents. i dont get the sms and than after the alert.. they come and diff times.
ive done the master reset on the g1 numerous times.. deleted all the apps i dled etc.. i kinda just fig it was a lost cause.. than i got it on the nexus 1, the first day i got it.. didnt even install anything on it. so i figured maybe id research around..

you don't need to DL anything. stock apps will have ads too. blame google for that. my nexus was throwing up ads before i ever put anything on it. not on home, not in phone, but as soon as anything else was opened, ads.

Try using AdFree from the Android market.

HTC Tweet

Could any of you new T-mobile owners let us know if the twitter app still has the bug where it never deletes tweets.....rendering it fairly useless.

yes im interested in that too, i would like to see if there is an updated version.. its badly needed.
There is however a fix to manually delete the tweets from time to time.. i do this about 1s a month and it stays fast (dont follow a lot of ppl tho)

Yes i know about the manual delete but its a pain, im noticing slow down after only 4 or 5 days. maybe I should turn auto update off. I have actually ditched it for the time being and am using motweet which is actually very good even the free one (with adverts) however this renders another sense tab useless. Has anyone developed a cab that will allow us to remap the sence tab to a different program?

Same here, made a topic about this a few weeks ago.
Mind telling me the manual method of deleting tweets? I can't seem to find it on this forum... Also, will tweets still remain on the server or would this delete them permanently?

copy from someone else
1. turn off htc sense (I forget how. it's in settings)
2. sync your phone.
3. explore and go through these folders: temp >> twiteng.
4. delete the files in the twiteng folder.

good luck, this will not delete anything from the twitter server, only ur local tweet cache

I wonder how hard it would be for a dev to write a cab that automated the process?

and maybe let that script automatic run according to a schedule.. that'd be nice.
however i dont think someone will make the time to make this since there are few people having this issue..

Thanks jamieeeee, now I see why the workaround is such a pain. It's still doable once in a while though.

yes a shedule would be good, Although i would be happy for it to run every couple of days deleteing everything over 24 hours old.
Have started a thread in the apps forum to see if there is any interest. I cant really understand why there isnt more people having this issue, I can only presume not many win mobile users are twitter users. For me Intergrated twitter was one of the reasons i bought the HD2, was also a little dissapointed that it didnt integrate tweeters with contacts like it does with facebook. to me twitter is a much more obvious social networking platform for mobile than facebook is.

Well that attracted bugger all responces, looks like i will be sticking to motweet.

I'm about to buy one, what do you mean buy this? How does never deleting tweets render it useless?
Can you send them and it posts to the site?

yeah you can send tweets without any problem (at least i can)
the mistake HTC made is not having a maximum number of tweets in the tab.. that means it keeps downloading new one's and never throws out any old one's.. you can do the math.. it gets slower and slower till its unusable

Fine job making a Windows program. Unfortunately I do not know most of those apps so I will not select them. Is it too much to ask someone for a list of apk name versus function name?

The apk name is listed along with the packagename in the list. If you are unsure what things are safe to block/disable. There are plenty of people on the forum that would be willing to help you.

I did not see the package name so I will have run it again and read more carefully or try to change the size of that field.

The apk is on the left and the package name is on the right. Are you saying you would like to see the App Drawer Name ??

That would be really helpful. Thanks.

Yeah, it sounds like you blocked a little too many, Lol. You can simply go and save your blocked list and then Unblock all and start going one by one until you figure out which ones you do need.
Please bring all feedback and questions over to the forum dedicated for this.

Here's one thing to think about also, by accident I blocked the Google stock email , not the Gmail. I went back to unblock and I had to re-enter all my emails back again. So what I'm saying after a block and then an un-block it wipes the app. Did you expect that to happen or should I expect that to happen for most apps be turned back on?
Thanks

That's odd, it doesn't wipe any data. Nor have I had an issue like that. Let me look into it.

[q] zte zmax pro frp bypass?

So I bought a ZTE ZMAX PRO from ebay but the guy didn't mention he still had his google account linked. So when I boot up the phone I get welcomed by the FRP screen. I text the guy and tell him all the problems but he doesn't reply unfortunately. I've tried almost every possible way to bypass the FRP screen but nothing works. I wanted to know what other ways are available so I am able to actually use this phone.

Sorry it took so long to reply, and I'm sure you've already found an answer to this problem, but there is no method currently to bypass FRP. If the seller will not work with you on the issue, I would contact e-Bay and explain the situation. Worst case scenario, you should get a refund from eBay. Hopefully your issue is resolved by this time, or if not, that this helps to resolve it.

How much did you pay for it? I bought mine in metropcs store near me brand new for $122 after tax and everything. This is my fave phone by far. The VR experience in this phone is the awesomest. I would follow the advice of the other poster. I had been a victim of a lying seller too it was on amazon though. I can sell you my samsung on5 if you like? It is in working condition. VERY slightly used. With very slightly used case.

As many have probably already found out there is currently no known proceedure to bypass the FRP on the Zmax Pro If there is then it has not been posted anywhere on the web as of yet...I know this because I have one that is google FRP locked and have read every article and watched every video available and have tried every method out there for every zte phone and nothing works so for the guy or gal out there who does have a method for bypassing the Google FRP I would very much appreciate if you would share it with me I can be reached at [email protected] Please send me any info or links regaurding this issue that will allow me to open this phone ASAP Thanking whoever in advance...

If your phone is 'legit', then the legit way to bypass FRP is either call google, call ZTE and/or call where you bought your phone right? All you need is RECEIPT and they will help you solve your FRP.
I do know the 'pride' you feel though after bypassing FRP yourself. I felt that when I bypass FRP myself on my samsung galaxy ON5. Eventhough I already contacted Samsung and Google and they already gave me an RMA number.
Not worth the headache though. After I bypass FRP on my Samsung, I ditched it and bought Zmaxpro.
It made me not mess with brand new phones though. Guys it really is NOT worth the headache.
At the very least, if you want to mess with these new phones. Research FIRST, if there is an FRP bypass method for it, if not then, why give yourself a headache and an expensive paper weight really?

because you can find em cheaper used.. i bought one frp locked for 40$ but cant bypass it lol its a clean phone and i bought on offerup knowing it was locked..
i also searched before hand and theres 2 methods, one using swyft keyboard the other using dictionary in google keyboard..
however, latest update makes those methods useless..
why post if youre not going to help? telling someone they shouldnt have bought it after the fact is irrelevant..
does anyone know what FTM mode is used for? or if theres any stock firmware images that can be flashed somehow to rollback the security updates?

LOL. I am not telling YOU, but anyone who care to read it. But why would I even bother telling you ANYthing when you did exactly the same in galaxy ON5? Right? you are hopeless case, buying FRP locked phones coz it's cheap then posting on all forums for solution. well then enjoy the headache.
I actually had a deja vu when I read your thread on the other forum. Just sayin..
Guess I am going to the other forum coz zmaxpro has a LOT of love on there. Even have a root thread going on.
I kind of hope they won't be able to root though, For my selfish reason that I really will keep my zmaxpro as long as I can and want it to be remain stock as long as it can for security reasons.
I want to tell on the other forum why they feel the need to root new phones when it already has all the features root gives you. I really am puzzled.

and you are a troll.. that is what xda and other forums are here for.. to have questions and share knowledge and find solutions.. at least i am contributing to xda.
Why go on an android forum and ask ppl why they want root in a rooting thread? lol if you dont need it or want it then dont comment as you are not helping anyone including yourself.

Come on now, it's actually you that does that. I've seen so many posts of you doing exactly that. Oh thanks for pointing it out. Your contibutor status. I am new here and so far the only ones I see from you is the bolded quote.
I guess we agree to disagree. I unfortunately can't help with your FRP bypass coz I don't think I will put myself in that situation ever again. And that's the difference between you and me. I guess, good luck?

ok folks, i found a way on youtube on how to bypass the google lock but it needs to be done on each reboot until we can find a way to install apks.. its saying its not allowed

FRP bypass. Works.
There's a video on this page that shows you how to do it. The guy doesn't say anything in the video so you just have to pay close attention to everything he does and repeat it exactly. I've had a ZMAX PRO that was frp locked for over 2 months. I followed every step closely and now I'm finally able to use it. This really works. Email me at [email protected] and I'll send you the link. They won't let me post it here because I'm a new user.

Tried it works but a lengthy process..its very simple by skipping few steps.......this is what i did and unlocked like a charm...
1) Press two finger on the screen prompting the language option and start...it should open the accesiblity option..click on exit.
2) then try gestures in the screen with an inverted "U" .....it should open the recent app list...(it needs few attempts)
3) on the top of the screen type stock..it will show stock android ...launch it....
4) go to settings ...go down which needs two fingers to swipe down as the accessibility option are still open it...disable the talk back on the accessibility options.
5) go to settings ..apps..on the corner right up..click on system apps..then drag down ..go to lookup apps which needs to force stop and disable..
6) go to settings again go to security ..enable the unknown source option.
7) go to home screen back by recent app button or home screen (Home screen button some time might not work)and open chrome browser...search for test dpc apk...download and install the latest test dpc apk...
8) once installed open the apk ..select as individual owner .1st option then next..then click on add account this will redirect it to adding account which will prompt the google old ID again..
9) click on recent app option and go to settings again ..go backup & Reset ..erase everything...which should reset the phone..by restarting and the ID is gone...(make sure your battery is above 30% inorder to reset.
10) Once reset the phone is set as new device without an ID.
!!!!!!Bingo its done..!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Agreed its your method and i have just worked on your method..without ADM and disabling the Accessibility by going to taptalk option. for me it didnt ask anything as i first disabled the lookup which should stop the Admin request.

Good job guys . The old FRP trick might have been lengthy but boom you got it working. 2 thumbs up.

Does this work on z982

Could you send me that link please

after i root my devise ?

hello i did root my op6t
and there is an app called
MAgisk
what does it do ? I mean I am an Apple IOS guy ...
could you help me ? also it says update it mine is (7.2.0) latest 7.3.2
thanks a lot

Rooting your phone without reading up about it before hand is a dangerous game to play.
There is plenty, and I mean plenty of information about Magisk out there, a simple search will go a long way.

thanks a lot for your advice
is it like Apple
like root it and then delete it make it original again? :good:

[somehow posted answer on wrong thread!?]

I suggest you to stay away from root until you've read enough about it...
Nothing is like iPhone here we're Android

Ehhh, like Linux, if you don't break Android once or twice, you aren't really going to learn anything.
IF you are already rooted and Magisk is installed find the OxyTweaker for Magisk module ( search this site) and install it. It is Viagra for your battery. Install Titanium and pay for the premium version......well worth it.....and AppOps and get to work on you phone.
I recommend the "freeze" option with Titanium until you actually know what you are doing. I also only grant temporary super user rights to both apps. Play around with removing google apps and getting a grip on app permissions.
I am a long time Apple Baby that converted in Feb this year. I can't see me ever going back to an Iphone. Just too much customization and control with Android.
All the best, JC

i have tried but still, i think its kinda hard, I am trying to install YouTube Vanced but I couldn't I did everything right on here :
link couldn't post it
I still need time and a lot of education vids
thanks a lot

Main reason that I rooted my phone is to block ads via block list instead of vpn. Second and probably better is that if you have a car or truck with android auto and want to use real GPS instead of Waze or Google maps. I love aa mirror + as phenotype changer. Which will mirror your phone and thus be able to use osmAnd from fdroid. Also being rooted you can use carstream to watch videos in your cars head unit. Also with magisk there are a few useful modules WiFi bonding and bromite come to mind.
Once you root YouTube vanced can be installed via magisk but also you can can download the apk and install that way too.
I been rooting phones since 2008 and fail to see how it is dangerous. Although some people due believe education is dangerous. Root never harmed me or my family and never threatened me or my health. A boot loop here or there a few soft bricks and a dozen or so voided warranties but no danger.

You WILL LOSE Root. There is a Guide in the Guides Section. Read that. Or if you need further help just ask.

I think there is a module with a script to do that. Just search update and keep root on the forum.

could you please provide me a link of that thread?
Thanks

Nope, but you should be able to search and find it. Saw it, but did not book mark it.

If you're on the stock ROM (Out of box OS). You can go into settings and search double at the top of the settings menu. There you should see double tap to wake as a search result and from there you can enable double tap to wake. Hope this was what you meant by double tap.
