I keep getting a message popping up that says "mraid is here". It just pops up at random times. Is this some sort of a virus?

android cant get a virus, its not possible.
its likely some sort of adware or malfunctioning adware from an app.
get an app like rom toolbox or similar that can tell you what add servers are in apps. then it will be easier to figure out which app is the problem.
if rom toolbox doesnt indicate an app using mraid, try and find another add detecting app. some times the ads are tricky and dont always show up.
Ok, got it. Thanks for the explanation.

Force closing issue?
I am a new user of your forum, my question is, I keep getting a force close error saying, "The prcess android.process.acored has stopped unexpectedly". I can't get rid of it, and it will not allow me to get into settings menu to do a reset how can I reset if the error pops up every time I go into settings? I can get into apps. but it want allow the key board to open up. This is the second time that I have experienced having to reset my gtablet; and each time it happen all of a sudden. Is there any antivirus software that you can recommend that can stop some of this. I believe I am experiencing this because of the apps that I am downloading off the market. Is this a common thing? Meaning, getting this force close errors and people having to reset their device?

i had the same problem with some CUSTOM ROMS...
first step is localizate if there is one app that provokes your acore" problem...this mistake message is usual when installs some apk from the market...
and if you have a custom rom on a rooted device and your problem is not solved.... RE-FLASH IT AGAIN BUT BEFORE do full wipes and formats into your recovery menu... okay?
sorry for my bad english
I love my nexus s, but suddenly the OS became very slow and I need help on where to start the trouble shooting.
It is the entire operating system -- even the touch screen.
I will pull down the notifications window and it will get stuck,
The browser select screen will pop up when I click on the "world" icon to open up the internet and after I select browser, there is a long pause before the background color appears (recognizing that I selected which browser) and then there is another long pause after recognizing that I selected it.
I have installed apps from other sources besides the android market.
At first I started thinking that I had too many apps running, so I started using the apps manager to force close the apps, but that did not help.
I tried restarting the phone multiple times with mixed results. Sometimes it would help a little, other times not at all.
I looked at how much room I had left on the internal drive and started moving more to the USB drive -- that didn't help.
I started wondering if I installed too many apps.
Then suddenly, when barely chugging alone to try to update a few apps (literally the install part was lagging -- not the download) I got an error message:
Error: Activity Android System(in process system) is not responding
It's funny -- when I want to replicate the error (as in right before writing this post - I cannot).
Thanks for your help on this matter.
Please instruct me on where to start trouble shooting.

root or no root?
no root. Thanks for fast reply.
my hunch is that an app was screwing something up.
There were a few that I wasn't updating because I didn't like how they started changing permissions. But maybe I should go through and update every app that I can... thoughts?

anything that you could have installed recently that works in the background? what launcher do you use?

update is good. there could be an app freaking out holding up the system.
And at the worst case scenario you can do a factory reset (menu, settings, privacy) and see if that fixes it... of course you'll need to re-install your apps afterwards

I don't know how to check what launcher I use...
I don't even know what that is

try updating your apps. a factory reset will help, but that should be your last option. launcher apps replace the stock launcher, the thing you press to open the app drawer and that holds the phone app and such.
My phone was acting all sorts of crazy lately (couldn't connect to the internet amongst other random performance issues) and it turned out to be an app causing the problems. It was actually one of two apps. It was either Tetris or memory trainer. I deleted them right after one another so I'm not sure exactly... Just a heads up to be cautious if you're using these. For the record these apps were from the official Android market.
I get an error message in the notification window every time I sign into the Play Store after flashing a new rom. It tells me to click the notification to re-sign in. When I click it nothing happens and the only way it goes away is if I hit the close all button in the notification window. Even with the error everything syncs fine and it never comes up again after I close it out. Anyone else seeing this?
I've also noticed something else. After every new rom flash I go to download Titanium Backup. I search for it and when the results come up it shows that I haven't purchased the pro version (which I have). I have to go into settings and force stop the app and then it shows my purchases just fine. I'm thinking maybe that's why the error comes up? This has only started happening recently.
Hi everyone, ever since the update, my apps stop running in the background when I close the app. Example: I don't get Whatsapp notifications anymore unless I open the app and keep it open. If I close all open apps, I will no longer receive any of the notifications for any of them.
I went into the battery settings disabled battery saver mode but that didn't do anything.
I would appreciate any help you could provide.

It's apparently one of the issues with the latest OTA update, where closing all running apps will terminate the background processes associated with the apps closed. Prior to the update and the Close All button being added to the recent apps list, I don't think it had this problem (I don't use Whatsapp, but my Skype and Discord notifications still come through even if I don't have them on my recent apps list).
This is a little frustrating. Noticed that I wasn't getting any notifications from tasker, pushover, textra, hangouts, inbox and etc.
Also noticed that pushover will not update unless it is off of wifi. All my other devices receive notifications on this wifi. IE nothing blocked.
I have had to open all the programs that I want to receive notifications from, open. Not the best work around.

I noticed that on occasion there will be small text under the new button that says "long press to set up apps that could run in the background" I do it but it doesn't seem to do anything, maybe free up some of the RAM but that's about it. I'm wondering if there is a bug and if it's supposed to show something.
Has anyone else tried the long press?
As of now all I do is keep a folder on the desktop labeled background apps. It helps big time when I accidentally tap the close all button. But my solution as of now is to keep things open that don't seem to work in the background. I've been experimenting with what works and it seems like in some recent app updates they begin to work without being open. I know for sure that facebook and now facebook messenger work without being open, as well as some google services. I have a memory clearer app that I use when I'm not using my phone so it clears whatever it can without killing the apps. But that's what I have as of now, trial and error to figure out what I need to leave open and what I can close. And I strongly recommend the folder, I have had many times where I accidentally close everything and forget what I had to leave open.
It's a bummer though, I just bought the phone and then this update came out. Kinda kills the excitement of getting a new awesome phone if I have to deal with this frustration :/ Other than that, it's definately a nice step up from a Samsung S4.

does it misbehave after rebooting? or all the time?

Misbehave as in not show anything after a long press?
Yes, nothing happens anytime I try it. After reboot, the first time I pull up the running apps is when I get the prompt. After the first long press after a reboot, the prompt is gone. If I have an app open and then I do the long press, I am taken back to the desktop, but no matter what I try, nothing seems to happen after the long press other than being taken back to the desktop if I had an app open.
I have the same issue, I thought it was a Internet connection issue (see my thread) but after digging deeper realised my background apps werent running after closing them and the long press option does nothing.
I have the same problem. Any solution?

I've just installed the new update and it looks like the issues I had with background apps closing when clearing all apps has been fixed. I've got no apps running in the foreground yet can see Whatsapp, Fitbit, etc still running and I'm receiving notifications for them.
Hey I was just wondering does anyone else get a message about "com.dti.att is causing performance issues" in a system message bubble and and saying something about don't show this for 7 days? What is this and how can I make it stop? I've searched everywhere and all I keep getting back is stuff about DT Ignite. But the results I find say it's a carrier bloatware system app but I can't find anything on my phone about it.

It comes back as AT&T App Select.... The only time I've seen it on the phone actually active though was during setup and I just skipped all of the apps shown because most of them were crap games of no interest to me. It doesn't even show up in the app drawer or under apps in settings.
It's most likely a glitch from setup and aside from disabling it a factory reset will probably be the only thing that rectifies it
You can disable it.
Go to Settings, App, menu option of Show System apps, click on AT&T App select, then disable. Gone.
