"X" files, LITERALLY! About 20+ ghost files - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

They number more than 20 and their name and extension are squares or symbols as if looking at a document with the wrong encoding. Don't know when they got there but they all belong to system and have creation dates like 1970 and 1994.
Anyone else?

Do you know how to get rids of these files or even if they are important? I'm serious, and you are seriously stupid if you are asking if this is a joke.

please provide more information. are you stock out of the box, flashed a rom, did any mods, clicked on a suspicious link either on the web or FB? Kinda hard to help you out with out more information.
in general, I have not heard of anything like this. BUT, if my thoughts serve me right, it sounds like your phone has been compromised.

Don't you think that any reasonable person would have taken the phone back if it came out of box like this?
Did I click on any questionable links in fb or web??? does it make a difference? I still need to get rid of it. It isn't a self replicating virus you dufuss. Its a file.
I love your last line "compromised" lmao. You sound like a government agent with down syndrome thats a character in a elementary school play written, produced, cast, and crew by the schools special ed students dually diagnosed with psychotic diaorders.

Wow... this guy is a HUGE BAG OF DICKS!!! I don't post much, and I had a small issue with something that fkn was more than happy to reply with his knowledge and assistance.
This reminds me of many many years ago while working for a call center. Stupid user calls and gives you the worst description possible. Then you wind up having to write a thesis in order to get the information you need because they can't even describe the issue. At least they weren't trying to make changes to the system, they were just using it b/c they were smart enough not to try and modify something they know jack about.
The problem here is ESTO (Equipment Superior To User)

I Tried And Successfully Extracted It From The V8.5 Rom, But Whenever I Try To Install It.... It "ALWAYS" Says....
"Application Not Installed !"

Tvout/ics

Tv out control isnt built into any of sgs4g ics's...i have an ics tablet that has tvout always on...seems like an easy fix. But then again i havnt developed anything but a headache.

Yes it is that damn hard to change the 1 to a 0. Because that is not all it takes.
If you think it is all it takes setup a build environment fix it and submit the changes to team acid. Otherwise STFU. There is more important things going on in the development then to turn on the tvout ability for you.

Wouldn't the last five posts be considered Trolling?
Something we are told not to do in "fancy signatures"?. It has only been one day since the person said they would fix it themselves. NO ETA'S remember?.
Maybe they are searching and working on it. Hopefully they can and contribute in a positive way..maybe they will Develop into the next Raver, FB, Whitehawx, krylon, ect on their travels.
The last five post only contain ridicule and insult. Trolls.
I guess the Cool people (we have a "click" in here now?) can troll without impunity but attack and accuse people of trolling.
xda is a PUBLIC Forum. It has Rules. One of which is "respect other members".
Save your **** talking for irc, gtalk or what ever else you use to talk **** about the sgs4g Community. We do not need your negativity here.
Jerry hit the triangle with exclamation mark in it and report away. Nobody is above the rules. Nobody.
@Jerry mine was a genuine joke and didnt ask for eta so relax doode but if u don't like do as eollie says report it and keep ur speech to yourself or like u said to irc, gtalk or ur blog.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
Jerry,
you must have not read the entire thread. So let me explain :
The guy said he doesn't have a clue in developing.
We explained him it's not that simple and that it's 'on the list'.
The guy complained again about not having this functionality.
The guy went into dev section ROM threads posting "your ROM is incomplete! it doesn't have TV-out!"
I have his trolls on both my latest ROM threads.
Next thing the guy says "I'll fix it myself" (in a childish manner) though he said he doesn't have a clue.
So who's trolling who ? my ETA request was a joke, in case you haven't realized it.
So please next time read the entire thread, otherwise you are trolling yourself.

Don't take it personal erik. You say you were were genuinely joking. You even had the tact to put Lmao in your post.. I can't doubt you.
BUT this person IS BEING clowned/disrespected in this thread. Let's not Bull**** (semantics) each other. We all aren't stupid..
I never said you asked for an ETA.
I don't nor ever have reported a thread. That's not my style. Others assume that role..
I'll keep my comments to myself when you keep your's to yourself. Again this is a PUBLIC Forum. It has rules. New members, Senior members and Devs alike. The same rules apply to ALL. One of which is "respect other members". The OP has been disrespected in my opinion.
I am a senior member. I have been a very positive and $upporting member (read my posts/threads) from almost the day it started..I'm not looking for drama..
There is a negative attitude, disrespectful really, as of late, within this Community (by a few members) that I, and I'm sure other members, have noticed.. I'd hate to see new members chased away because a few members reply/attack negatively.
I've been here through its whole evolution so I understand where it is now..the frustration of the senior members with the "newb" not following the rules.. Search and read first..
I thought we are supposed to be making our Androids better through xda. You know learning from and teaching each other new ways to do that..
I'm not looking for drama erik. I guess I just wish the atmosphere in here was as positive as it used to be.
Thank you for all your Hard Work's doode seriously.
Jerry have you clicked on this peron's profile and viewed all the posts regarding tv-out? It gets to the point where helping is no longer an option.
I'm still trying to understand why its so important to you.
I for instance would just assume play games on Xbox and watch movies thru my cable company.
You say you have a tablet that does this TV out for you,so exactly what are you crying about,just the fact that it gives you something to cry about?
I just don't get why you would rather cause this much ruckus over something so small.
In my day I would have gotten a twitch across my backside for acting so spoiled.

I understand people have parents that wont allow them to buy apps. I understand people live in countries where its almost impossible to purchase apps.
I will point and laugh at people that dont change the sig from the default.
I would also bet people think because it says app-developers app they think it has something special.
Also you do know the xda app is a modified version of tapatalk. If you own the premium version of tapatalk there shouldnt be anything in the premium version of xda that is not available in the tapatalk. I agree each person has their own preference.
As for how people come here for help...how is that related to my question?
Just saying people come here looking for help and what not.....not to be laughed at....

Yeah, it's all because app developers are Linux guys, and you know how they are...
I never noticed the difference myself. I didn't buy the paid version because I'm wasn't then and still am not that impressed with the app, in general. I guess I never really considered it "supporting XDA" to buy the app. Hmm, I guess it is, now that I think of it. Maybe when they make it so that reading all the posts in a forum actually makes it marked "read" on the app...

OMG the marked as read and actually showing new posts without having to toggle between pm's is annoying. That is a tapatalk bug. It use to not be that way, atleast for me but tapatalk 2.0 did some weird things.

Report it to the police. Also, make sure he actually has the file. Blackmail is a crime and should be reported.

Report it anyway. To answer your question, if someone managed to get you to inadvertently install some spyware from Facebook on your computer, they could possibly access your files.
Best bet is to verify he actually has the file. If he does, report it to the police.

It's not possible to format a hard disk through facebook,
but this person may have installed some kind of spyware on your computer and access it that way.
(did you ever open some kind of attachment from an email from him or something?? that way he could have put it on your computer)
As others have said, you should contact the police!

Well, in the future keep truly sensitive media on a storage device that's not connected to the Internet and encrypt it.
I don't know what you have that would make you "dead" but unless it's so illegal that 700€ is a good deal, just accept it.
Maybe I'm boring, but the most embarrassing file on my computer is probably either any of the Katy Perry MP3s or a picture of me in my underwear.
If you're doing illegal things, keep them on a separate machine than the one you browse the Internet and conduct frivolous personal entertainment on.
But if it's kiddie porn, forward it to your local police kthx. Otherwise, what could be that bad? Sorry for suggesting the worst - I'm just an innocent soul who can't really imagine what could be worth 700€ outside of the realm where you could just pay someone to have this guy shot.

**** just got real.
Anyway, you can report it to the police, I think it's a violation to someone's privacy, blackmailing is a crime, but if that "thing" is just somewhat illegal, maybe you should pay the price, that's what I've learned in Breaking Bad (tv series)

I can understand how a lot of things can complicate people's lives - I can see if they got work information that you would get in trouble for having publicly released - but in that case I would be contacting my employer first to have them get their legal team/the police on it.
I just don't keep secrets very well, I suppose - so I don't have really anything that could be used as "dirt" against me so the situation confuses me a little. If someone got naked pictures of me and published them, it's not worth 700€ to me to stop them - might as well be proud and admit, "yep that's what I look like under my clothes, crazy that we all tend to have genitals, huh ?" Though I suppose if you were entrusted to keep naked pictures of someone else (that you presumably cared about) that would indeed be a problem and a difficult situation - pay 700€ or possibly lose a relationship with someone.
Or proof of an affair, a hidden past as a porn star now that you're an elementary school teacher who lied about that past, pictures of that time you did lines of coke off a prostitute's buttocks, or video of when you paid to kill a child in a Mexican hostel for cheap thrills. I guess I'm just not cool enough to get invited to parties where that kind of thing happens so I don't have to worry about it.
@OP, if it's not this bad, I hope it cheers you up that it could be worse ? If it's that bad, er, sorry.
Google has more dirt on me than anyone who scouring my hard-drive could get. They have the proof that I'm a barely-sentient mouth-breather who Googles the stupidest things imaginable and is incapable of installing anything on Linux without a tutorial, apparently, and went on an hours-long search binge looking at pictures of baby ungulates.
Unless it's really, really bad instead of merely embarrassing, I'd just admit it myself first and leave the "blackmailer" without anything of worth. The choices here seem like either do that, pay it, or put a measure of faith in the police in whatever country this person is located. I'm not sure how effective it would be to get this person's personal information and threaten to release it and try to drum up a media fuss - would that scare them or would they just try to take you down with them ?
I'm also curious as to how they pulled this off seemingly without indication (not doubting it, just curious).
Nono dont worry its nothing illegal but it is just a plain stupid video of me that i do not want anybody to see im quite a shy person you see... meh he haven't contacted me yet back i assume he let me go away whit it...

I used to be very shy, but now I'm merely a private person. I learned a very good "lesson" that has held true so far - admit to yourself and be honest about it and people will respect you for that. If they don't, well, why let it bother you? That's their problem if you've personally accepted whatever happened - good, bad, or just stupid.
I have "secrets" that could potentially put my life in danger. But why let someone have that in a manner where they might not stop after one extortion - what's to say they won't just ask for more money later ? Better to tell them to piss off and then prepare myself for whatever.
Try, "haha, [blackmailers name] thinks they can get me to pay 700€ to keep this down. Well, here it is and now it's worthless since you all can view e being a moron right here, right now - go nuts"

I guess our first clue that you were joking show be that if you are cool enough to hack phones you wont be going to a one direction concert?

You incorrectly assume that I'm using queer to mean gay when I'm actually using it to mean weird.

right, because this is 2013 in 'Murika, and using "queer" to imply weirdness is...normal.

...so I should blindly follow everyone else's ideas and be "normal"? I'd much rather think for myself.

not at all friend, but dont think for a second a majority of the people who read your post will just assume you meant "weird" or "strange". face it, most will ASSume you meant in regards to being homosexual. even if its not what you meant, it could still be offensive, and you should think about what you say and how others may perceive it before you post that on the interwebz.
also, playing off your logic here, who are you to say a man listening to one direction is queer? i think you NOT listening is rather gay.
and by gay i meant happy. did you assume that?

I am more than happy to explain my use of the word when people misunderstand it and quite honestly the word stupid is offensive, but we still use it along with many other negative terms. Lastly I don't see how, "I think you not listening is rather happy" makes sense grammatically so yes I would assume you were using the homosexual meaning.

given the general societal stigma involved with men listening to whats considered to be "girl music" using the word queer with no clear or definitive meaning, and only the stigma i mentioned earlier for context, it can only lead the observer to assume you meant the opposite. dont attempt to justify your misuse of words with an analogy worth about as much as your idea its still OK to use the word "queer" when referring to a "strange" behavior. who are you to decide its queer a man listens to 1d? ok, so you personally think its queer, kewl bro. dont express that with no intentions other than to express it, bc than really your only intent was conflict, right?

Again I don't care about the general social stigma and no I didn't mean to start a conflict. I actually just really like the original meaning of queer and the way the word even sounds like its definition. Furthermore I think this conversation has gone on long enough and we should clutter this thread up anymore.
