"X" files, LITERALLY! About 20+ ghost files

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.

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)

Today I found a way to see anyone's profile as if they are your friend using the Facebook app for android.
Find a post they have commented on.
Tap on their profile pic in the comments
As their profile is loading quickly select the photos tab.
Now you can see their photos.. if you wait too long the page will load and you will be stuck on the basic profile info with the choice to add them as a friend.
Random and pointless but I found it interesting none the less

Found out it doesn't work if they have their photos blocked to certain people. Most people sent that smart though.

I agree totally with you. Another reason why I went back to stock messaging over gosms. What good are all of the emoticons if your sending it to someone who can't even see them.

Loud Clicking and White Noise when Calling or Receiving Call

This happened after I installed ICS Roms. The Genesis Rom was working just fine but would take about 2 days to send a picture, if it would even send. So I figured it was the ROM and switched to the every single other ICS and now this loud clicking noise will not go away. I can't hear my wife and she can't hear me, everything else works just fine, SMS, MMS, and so on.
So, I went back to stock, I downloaded the original NANDROID backup followed all the steps exactly and got it back to stock, the only thing I didnt do was to use NVflash to return the bootloader to stock, everything else should be stock.
Could this be a hardware issue? If so, what should I do, basically my wife wants a new phone, she is done with the G2x.
Thanks

From Owains dev thread:
Running the new baseband on your p999? than you'll need this fix for ROM side support!
flash this after the ROMhttp://owain.hopto.org/T-Mobile LG G2x (p999)/Domination/new_baseband.zip
It will fix that issue...

had the same thing, Owain's fix should work.

just did this and it worked great.

Someone needs to make a thread, title it something like "Popping noise when calling?????," have the body say, "And on 21y baseband?, flash owains zip!" With the zip attached... and everyone bump the thread 10 times a day (but no sticky because of how tapatalk displays threads).
Then MAYBE everyone and their mother, who refuse to do a search, can see that this has been asked 100+ times.

So apparently My wife had enough and went to the T-Mobile store yesterday, they used her insurance and switched her to a Galaxy S3 for 200 bucks.
Plus they didn't even want this phone, so I guess I will sell it.
Good for her, but I am sad, now my S2 is the slowest phone in the house, thanks guys for all your help!

Oh and bump again.

Can I somehow send/receieve txts to another VZW SIII # that has been blocked?

One of my friend's and I text a lot (well, we did) until her dad noticed we were texting at late hours and he blocked my number on her phone....so she cannot send texts to me and my texts don't get to her. This was all while she had a "dumb" phone, but recently she got an SIII.
Is there any way to get around this now that she has a smartphone? I'm talking about regular texts and not having to use a special app (i.e. Facebook, Skype, etc.) to send texts back and forth. She is currently unrooted and thus running stock JB obviously.
Would rooting do the trick? A certain rom out there maybe? Or is there some sort of process one can do to "unblock" my number on her phone?

Uggghh. I hate that I will have to be that dad one day soon. Thank God I am smart enough to thwart you young men.

Haha if I had a daughter Im sure I'd be doing the same thing....
But there has gotta be a way/hack/fix around it....

I am assuming that the block is on the account side, meaning she would need the vzw.com account password to unblock. If it was done on the phone itself I would imagine a factory reset would remove the block. Why dont you want to use third party apps like whatsapp? Some apps (can't think of names) can send free texts to legit cell numbers.

A Factory Reset on an unrooted, fully stock S3 will fix it you think? What about her apps? Does Titanium Backup work fully on unrooted, stock phones? I haven't been unrooted in a longggggg time.

Can't you just use an app like tikl or tango just to sent the texts. I know you said no third party apps but they are free and if they work sounds much easier than having her root and find a hack.

I know they are free and I know that we could text that way.....the reason why I want to be able to send regular texts to/from our regular numbers is because I tether constantly, every day, and my phone stays in the window for the strongest LTE connection and I use Airdroid to view and send texts from my phone while on my pc......can't do that with a 3rd party app, I'd have to get up every single time to view/respond to the texts....

Do you know of another app that will actually work in this way?

Well we got it to work for the time being via the HeyFree app.

Soo many third party apps will work.
Factory reset, root, custom rom will have no effect.
And what are you guys like 11? Haha got her dad blocking your number, I'm weak.

I second that. It seems best to use Google Talk or Facebook Messenger.... then you guys can be "chatting" but you can just do it from your desktop browser and she can do it on her phone.

OP, I saw you have another thread started trying to help this girl get around something else her father set up regarding the use of her phone. Let me, as the father of a 23 year old daughter, give you a little piece of advice.
He has blocked your number from texts and stopped her data at 10:30pm. He is doing that for a reason and apparently doesn't like you very much either. I understand that you think you are trying to help her, but what you are doing is causing yourself more problems with the dad. I am guessing that neither of you are very old, hence the curfew on the data. You are looking for "hacks" to get around what he has done to, what he thinks is for the betterment of his daughter. You would be better served to work on your relationship with him than to really piss him off by going against him. Just remember, Daddy's little girl is his entire world that he would gladly die for and you are going to get into more trouble that you can imagine or would ever want to be in by messing with her and his wishes.
My advice would be to get onto his good side if you haven't already screwed that up and you may find the "hacks" that you are looking for. Alternatively, you could put another phone on your plan and give it to her for texting. Good luck and remember that some things cannot be undone after you do them........

Seems like Google Voice could be a good solution.... You get a different phone # and you can send/receive texts from any PC at voice.google.com

I would say hhf2 had the best idea and option for you. You may not like it but it is the truth.

That is actual VERY incorrect. While a boy you would consider your little "mini me", a daughter is your princess. The biggest concern is that they are healthy. Sure there are things that a guy wants a son for, but make no mistake about it, there are things that you are just as proud of with a daughter.
