Ad downloads to my phone itself. - General Questions and Answers

Hi.
I've got a little problem with ads on my android. About two days ago I saw an advert in my gallery (WTF!?!?). It was in data/com.admarvel.android.admarvelcachedads/ads/c22102 dir on my phone memory. Always when i delete it, the ad downloads to my phone's memory even if i dont do anything on my device. I checked on my app list and i dont have any thing like admarvel etc. Im wondering if it's a virus or something like that.
Does anyone know how to get a rid of that thing?

Hmm download #root unstaller
And look for the app and then delete it

Well, my phone is not rooted. I had a lite'ning rom (root included) installed on it but i flashed it with stock firmware. is it possible that official firmware (downloaded form samfirmware.com) had this ad in it? If i really have to root my phone can you tell me if there is a way to root it without flashing? I've got a galaxy s2.

OK, I downloaded the Root Uninstaller on my unrooted pohne... i cannot find anything that could be the "ad downloader" ;/ Do you have any ideas or someone had this problem before ?

Hmm do you have task manager??
Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA App

Yeah. Galaxy S2 has it build in. BTW. nothing in there ;(
EDIT: Does the factory reset remove all of my apps and their data?
EDIT2: OK it does.

Factory was the last step i dont like a reset for something like that

If factory reset is the last step, is there still something else that you can think of before the last one xd?? Honestly, im wouldnt be so happy to do that (but if its the last hope xD...).

Looking in task manager/ sending me screens of all installed apps

Do you have an Opera web browser installed on your phone? Apparently they don't want me to post a link because I just registered on this website, but the article says Opera has acquired Admarvel. I have this browser installed on my phone and also have ads downloading in /data/com.admarvel/ads into folders with names such as c26417 and c26419.

I was wrong. It is Shazam that puts those ads there.

Problems with XDA app

Hello guys.
I'm having a problem with the XDA dev app. I have the official (free) version of it.
I got the app with the custom ROM I recently installed, but the problem is when I'm going to read threads in subforums, the application crashes.
That happens with any threads I'm trying to go to a thread.
So I saw a update for the app, but when I press "Update" in market and after a couple of seconds the installation fails. I says: "Package is not signed correctly" or something like that.
So I don't know what to do now
I want to read XDA Forum threads on my X10!
Please help me with this annoying problem.
Thanks,
Unistall with titanium and reinstall from market should sort it.

What's wrong now?
I wondering if the two problems u having are related somehow

Ah, I manage to install the app now!
The problem was that I had installed Scamble (custom ROM) and had problem with my operator (could not call, or anything) because I didn't patch my baseband!
So now I have patched and everything works now, I can install the app without any problems!
Thank you guys for all the help,
Nice u got it up and running
Yeah
But I have another question I just take in this thread.
Where is my apps I download from Android Market? I have looked in the /system/app and /Data/App, nothing there.
So where can the apk files be?

System/app contains all the system apps.
Data/app contains all the apps that you have downloaded or installed.
You need something with right permission to see it. Astro or any other withouth root permission won't work. Try Root Explorer its worth rue money.

I side loaded it and worked fine for me. Did you check the version after you installed it.
thx. JB is really nice! :good:

There's no difference coming from an older version. Running neak 4.03 on my Galaxy sii. From what I can see, it's lacking the magazines and other new options, in fact it looks identical to the previous version. Has anybody else seen these new features?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Yes checked the version number I have it installed and working but how did the play market completely uninstall that's just weird.everything is stock no custom Rom or kernel it's just rooted.
Sent from my LT15i using xda app-developers app
I know this is off-topic, but it's still mostly about the system/app folder o.o A few hours ago I pulled the updated market from the 4.1OTA zip and got it working. Any idea how to get Google Now working? I know it's pretty much locked down, but it's quite the wonderful thing.

Not enough space to install app

Hi, actually have more than 10 gb free on sdcard, but today while downloading chaos rings, when it starts to install it stops and says " error not enoughe disc space", that isn't true.
someone knows how to fix this?
Not sure why it would do that unless its looking to install on a certin partition that is different then this note. For that kind of money the develpper should come to your house and install it for you. Send develper a emaol with a log of your device specs and screen shot of error
Good luck
The problem is that the same app installed well one week ago, I don't think it's an app related problem, is the playstore
Only other thing, did you get an ota update recently? I know this shouldn't affect things but sometime updates are a real pain...
Same problem
Same problem here but with a Galaxy Note II. I installed the app last week, then unistalled it cause didn't work with root. But now the 1.1 version works with rooted devices but I get the "Not enought space" problem.
If your rooted there's a easy fix. This happens to me when a app doesn't uninstall correctly. Using a root file browser go to /data/app find the apk and delete it.

My /data folder is empty ^^ it's the only app that acts like this
What app are you using
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
No I mean the app I'm trying to install, Chaos Rings. I also tried to uninstall some apps but always the same problem, it's driving my crazy ^^
No I mean what app are you using to access the data folder
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
Ok solved! thanks to you. I used root browser, because root expl works for me sometimes and sometimes doesnt start, but now it started and accessed to data/app and deleted a file of the game, now it installed.
Thanks again man

How to disable AT&T Adress Book???

Hello.
I rooted and installed official ICS android on my phone. My phone is originally Rogers, but the ICS version is AT&T. It's official but never release to public or whatever who knows.
So it came with all AT&T bloatware but I was able to disable all except one...
AT&T address book.
Everytime I open my phone contacts this stupid app opens first! It takes like 4 seconds to load then I have to hit OK before I can view my regular android contacts.
I go to apps but DISABLE is grayed out.
What can I do? I am rooted but this is grayed out? Makes no sense?
nobody knows how to do this???
get titanium back up since ur rooted you can go in and delete all the bloat ware
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium

Well,, it depends on what the apps u want to delete. As long as they're not sync each other with your phone system, it's fine to delete them. But if you delete even a wrong single app, u could end up with spamming error messages, or the worst u have to change ur current ROM into a new one because of the damage. I suggest u to really really be careful and do it with some knowledges.. :beer:

Can you go into app manager and force close the app, then clear the apps cache. Then go back out and start it up like normal?
Or uninstall and re-install?

If its a absolute "must" that you have this player, try contacting the developer. But with so many music apps out there, I am having a hard time understanding why this is that "must have" app. I was like that with Doubletwist, but I started having some issues on this different device, so I switched. No biggie.
