I wanted to know if my phone was hacked.
Yesterday while surfing a site on UC browser I clicked the back button and it directed me to a page which said UC Web Your personal information leaked, Please visit Google Play, I again clicked back and it said Samsung Your personal information could be at risk, download Privacy Lock from Google Play, Again I clicked back and It said security risk Download Zero Launcher.
But inspite of clicking back it did not take me to the site that I was surfing. I had to close the browser.
My phone already had Avast Security downloaded.
Hence I want to know why did I receive this. Is my information leaked?
My friend told me these were just advertisements to be downloaded from Google Play.
Got it confirmed from you people itself yesterday that my phone is safe.
But i did not download anything from that site but I exited the browser and went to Google Play and downloaded Privacy Lock & Zero Launcher from google play.
But again I uninstalled them also now and have secured my phone with CM security.
Is my phone still safe after downloading Privacy Lock & Zero Launcher from google play.

Hi guys
I'm asking you for HELP because I lost hope how to fix my problem with my new Asus Zenfone 5 on my own. I bought phone from China - Spemall.com (good and safe website). Phone is brilliant and very well made all is perfect except one thing - it was no play store installed. All other phones and tablets from them had play store installed this is first time when I had device without it.
I have this phone for two days now I was trying almost everything (in my opinion everything) to install both first Google Play Services and after that Play Store.
I downloaded both latest versions apk and first installed services and after play store but when trying to tap in play store icon all what I getting is
---Unfortunately Google play services has stopped.
I was cleaning data, cache, reinstalling both apps and even I did few times factory reset but nothing. I was still getting famous massage --- Unfortunately Google play services has stopped. Whatever I press Google settings or play store it will always end up in this same way.
Phone is not rooted!!!
I was using guides from you tube because that was easy start and you must start somewhere and sometimes when problem is little you are able to fix it but this time is different and my knowledge and you tube is not enough that's why I asking you guys to help me in this difficult moment.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Best regards

I can completely understand your frustration. Since we don't have a forum for your device, may I suggest posting your query in
Android Development and Hacking > Android General ? One of the Experts there will love to help you. Make sure to include your android version when you do so.
You can most certainly get Amazon Appstore installed on the tablet to get you going.
Thank you very much

I recently rooted my android phone. Today, i was using my phone and suddenly i see a notification in the status bar. It said, "Secret video recorder has been installed" - a notification seen when any app is installed from the play store. This sent a chill down my spine.
- is it possible that my phone has been hacked. And someone is controlling it
- Has my phone security been compromised
- I also though, may be my google account password has been leaked. And someone simple installed the app from the web play store using my account.
Can anyone please suggest, what exactly might have happened. I have uninstalled that app and also searched my app list for any potential malware. I also wanted to know about the security vulnerabilities which come with rooting a phone. I am very worried about my data.

Hi,
Those are pop-ups/ads and spam. You were wise to not install anything.
Completely normal... Unfortunately.
?
So i've changed regions ( not first time), i've had note 2 gt-n7100 for 2 years, its rooted with custom rom, installed year ago. Everything worked good. Recently aps wich synced with g+ acc (example: games) started saying that i cant sign in into g+ acc, or that some google error. Later i went to play market wanted to buy an app, and just whenever i clicked buy it gave me an error and reopened play market. I cleared cache on apps, on google, on everything. New installed apps have same thing. Cant buy anything in apps as it uses google payment and it just crashes aps. Any solutions? Should i reinstall rom?

Do you use any warez, like Lucky Patcher or Freedom? They make GPlay unsable. If you do, just stop them and unistall. If you dont, reistall google play and google play services.

thats the weird part. Had freedom for half a year always on. Everything worked. deinstalled etc still

I've seen some vids showing freedom problems. Have you turned off your device while freedom was on?

yeah maybe. i stopped freedom deinstalled it. still gplay dont work
Ive deleted g services but now cant reintall them as app store cant seem to notice them gone and when i dled from 3rd party site it said cache is corrupt. I cant even make new accs from phone etc. maybe restoring rom would help? but then i would loose all app data saves etc
reinstalled gaps, no freedom, no same sort of apps. still no from google

Hello All,
First post here on this great community. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I gave my little brother my old Xperia phone to play around with. Long story short...he deleted chrome entirely with one of the app delete programs on the play store. He was trying to speed it up as its only a 1 gig ram phone. He might have deleted some crucial system apps with it but I don't know because I did a factory reset which didn't bring chrome back. Was able to get Firefox synced but chrome isn't even an option under accounts sync. Problem is I can't use the play store as it only opens and crashes. I was finally able to put chrome 38 on it but anything higher crashes or says missing crucial system settings. He didn't realize he still needed chrome for everything to function right on android. Is there anything i can download to restord the full chrome, google play functionality. I fried to update play apks but it either has a parsing error or crashes upon opening. Btw its ics 4.04. Thanks in advance for any help.
