Apps launch and then quit. Pulling my hair out. *SOLVED!*

Bing, News, Amazon Kindle are a few apps which launch for one second and then quit. Even mail and people tiles do not update any longer and live tiles stop working. I have uninstalled these apps and reinstalled them where they begin to work again for a bit and then start playing up again. I have refreshed pc and still same problems. Also in Notifications tab in PC Settings, where it says Show notifications from these apps, there is nothing listed. They were listed after a refresh and no longer there.
I have all the latest updates installed and I think that is where the problem is. I bet one update is causing the problems. I feel like refreshing again and not installing any kb updates or firmware updates. Really really frustrated.
Any ideas? Solutions? Magic words?

Sounds awful. Do you have a stable WiFi connection? I have noticed that the Surface wants good connection or she gets weird. Surfing the web ok? Don't have to tap links multiple times to go anyware?

Have you contacted Microsoft or Amazon about those apps? Maybe it's the HW and you need to exchange? Unless you want to wipe everything as a last resort use alternative apps until that's sorted or the web browser. For news I would use this aggregator called news republic instead of the default app because it's faster at loading up, playing videos, and opening up articles. I don't use Bing, people, mail, or amazon kindle. Don't think there's anything that gets you live tiles n does everything those programs do. So it seems nothing you can really do.

Their is a Microsoft fixit for windows store apps not launching, a simple search will find it. If it tells you that it found corrupted files then a complete reset is in order. Also if you have done any of the tweaks, some of them can cause instability. If you have then retroactively undo the tweaks until you find the cause.

Ok I solved the problem. A simple refresh of the pc was not enough as it does not delete your apps or databases. I there chose to remove everything and reinstall the os which DOES delete the apps and data. This solved the crashing apps and non syncing mail/dead live tiles. I guess due to some corrupt data for the apps.

Tronsmart TS7 (aka Glacier TS7) installs random apps without permission

I have a (4GB) Tronsmart TS7 (some times known as a Alps Glacier TS7). It's a Chinese MTK6589 based phone running Android 4.2 purchased from geekbuying.
For the most part the device is stock, there are next to no pre-installed apps apart from the usual, and the only additional apps I have installed are: Playstation, Steam, ColorNote, Shuttle+, Root Explorer DI Radio, Chrome & Gmail
The problem I have is that there are apps appearing on the device that I am not installing. So far it has been the same set of apps that appear:
Mobo Market
UC Browser
TrustGo Security
DU Battery Saver
337 Game Master
GameCenter
(there may be more)
These apps don't start appearing right after a factory reset, but start to arrive 1-2weeks later. They also seem to be packaged similarly; when I say packaged I mean opening them seems to prompt with the same menu & style (accept licence etc) before it gets to the main app. Also, after you open the app from the app drawer it then creates an icon on the desktop. Maybe opening it actually does the installing?
The apps themselves seem to be legit.
I have factory reset the device (twice), and changed my Google password but they are still appearing. They don't show up in my Play store history so they must be coming from elsewhere.
My main concern is that if it is downloading things without my permission, what might it be uploading ? Not to mention wasting my 3g data etc.
So I have a few questions:
Should I be (really) worried?
Is there a way to monitor this? eg connect to a wifi hotspot and packet capture the network traffic? or maybe use a process monitor (the ones I've tried so far haven't shown anything) to see if there is some sort of script in the background?
Can it be stopped?
Thanks in advance, I would be interested to know if anyone else has/had this problem?

I have the same problem.
I haven't tried flashing some other ROM yet, but I guess that is the only way to get it to stop installing those things.

Have you actually found any other roms to install?

For anybody's information:
You may have noticed how you always end up with a 'Tronsmart.mp4' video file appearing in your gallery app. This is damn annoying since it appears twice, once on the internal and once on the external SD card. There is an '\system\app\CopyTest.apk' file which creates both of these. Should be safe to delete it and thus prevent the file(s) appearing
I have actually decompiled this apk. It works as a service that runs when MEDIA_UNMOUNTED or MEDIA_MOUNTED is invoked, and does absolutely nothing else.

I have the same problem, those random apps installing and the video always in my gallery. I have managed to stop tge apps by using a firewall and allowing only my apps that i want to use the internet. I havent found a solution though to fix the problem. Probably tronsmart is spamming its customers...

What Firewall did you use? I might be able to use something like that to pinpoint the app that's causing this.

Sory for the late reply. I am usin "android firewall" free from google play store.

USB debugging disabled stopped it on mine
edit: not that easy, wasn't enough. made some cleanup by disabing/removing some system apps. seems to work so far although there are still some strange events like superuser crashing and right after that system downloader.apk reappearing. haven't seen any other junk coming back
these are the apk's i removed:
systemupdateassistant
systemdownloader
omacp
mtkbt
midtest
galaxy4
fusedlocation

[Q] Gfirewall and Gsearch bloatware/virus problem.. HELP!

Hello guys, i have a problem as reported above with 2 bloatware apps on my android phone: Gfirewall and Gsearch.
My phone model is UBTEL U8 (MTK model, china phone) and i'm running Android 4.2.2 ROOTED. I have no custom rom/firmware installed.
These 2 apps appeared magically about 2/3 months ago, and i thought they were safe beacuse of Google logo and name. Nothing happened in these months except for some phone crashes and restarts, but 2 days ago a banner ad appeared in my home screen at phone restart and/or phone unlock. I use AdAway (similar to AdBlock) to disable ALL TYPES of banner, ads and related on my phone, browser and apps. When i went to AdAway i noticed that was disabled: i enabled it again and restarted the phone.. but banner ads still showing.. so i went again in AdAway and it was disabled.. again!
I have a similar problem with 3G/H connection with Vodafone. Everytime i disable internet connection, it gets activated again in 1 minute max.. so i can't disable internet.. never!
I removed these 2 bloatware apps today and fortunatly they didn't show up again or get reinstalled.. ads and AdAway blocks are disappeared. I started a lot of antivirus controls with Avira and nothing showed up.. so i thought i was fine, BUT the internet problem persists.. i can't disable internet everytime i want. Someone of you could help me to solve this problem? I hope there is an alternative method to solve this without format/reset the phone!

I have the same problem with Gfirewall and Gsearch in my STAR N9800
Same full screen banner ad in my home screen.
In my phone there is Trend Micro Worry Free Business Security Services as antivirus, but nothing was found after a full scan.
If I find something new, I'll write here

Hello! I solved with hard reset.. if you want to try i suggest you to use titanium backup for your safe apps, so you'll not lose anything

I am facing the same issues, I do not think a hard reset will solve the problem, these two apps are embedded in the firmware, they lie dormant for a while then kick in, after a while, about 3months after purchase.
I have tried uninstalling & they just re-install, if you phone is rooted, you can hybernate them with ''App Quarantine''
I am struggling to deal with them, as my phone is not currently rooted.
FYI: CM security now shows Gsearch as a virus.
Any solutions please??

remove them after rooting your phone!!! seems soo unimaginable that they are embedded in your rom :/

Yes you are very likely to be correct, I was kinda hoping, for a solution without rooting? Any ideas? Anyone?
Cheers Martin :angel::angel:

Same problem , rooted phone and uninstalled gsearch and gfirewall but in one or two days they auto-reinstall

Play Store
There is a app in the rom called Play Store (Not Google Play Store!) and Opera Service
Remove those apps from the rom to prevent advertisements at screen unlocking.
To remove Play Store and Opera service your phone needs to be rooted (use Titanium backup fi). You can check this by using a firewall like droidwall.
If you can't root your device:
Use a firewall like mobiwol if your device is not rooted (is creates an internal vpn where it can filter your traffic).

Suspicious files found running at background
I have the same problem with the two files reinstalling by itself after I delete them. I have a Chinese made smartphone Tronsmart PS7 running Android 4.2.2 rooted. After digging deeper into the files running at the background, I noticed there are files that have complete access to all the privilege rights in my phone other than android system, they are android.cube, AdupsFotaReboot, RebootAndWriteSys and Common Data Service. I have tried to force these files to stop and it seems the problem is solved, Anyone has any ideas what these 4 files are for?

I don't think to do any hard reset, if these are hard coded in ROM, this is not a stable solution
IMHO there are only two exit ways:
1) do a virus submission request
I've done this request 1 minute ago.
2) flash the device with another ROM (4.2.2 is getting older, anyway...)
You can see the manifests of Gsearch and Gfirewall, are identical:
Not so good news...

Hi all,
in my case, I found a solution. Once MTKDroidTools used to get root on the phone (root only, nothing else), I pressed the button "Delete China" and the application has removed the files from the "files_for_delete.txt" list. After this, the problems are over !!!
Another way to do this with the phone already rooted, you do it manually, and you can follow the steps of:

or

No more Gsearch and Gfirewall
I had the same problem with my Chinese new teca n9900 and I found the same apps on my phone that you mentioned. I force stopped android.cube, AdupsFotaReboot, Common Data Service, and RebootandWriteSys in app manager in the setting and now Gfirewall and Gsearch stopped automatically installing. I can't seem to enable them back to restart even after I reboot the phone except for "android.cube" that app will restart after I reboot the phone which may be the app causing them to reinstall. I'm not sure what exactly these apps do but my phone seems to work perfectly without them running. Thank you.

It seems like now i don't have Gfirewall anymore but Gsearch got reinstalled and i've got an add displayed again so this solution doesn't really work

uninstall gsearch en gfirewall.
I had the same troubles with my phone (elephone P8). First I stopped the software, then I uninstalled it. So far so good.. Did'nt get popupsuntill now..
Succes..

Please let me know if this hint works on your phones

Hi all, my rooted phone is Ulefone U9592 and I found this information :
http://androidforums.com/android-applications/864435-gfirewall.html
TEXT : " My phone is rooted, i set every apk need confirm install, and wait the apk download and confirm install, i used root explorer try to search which directory is. In my phone, i found "/data/user/0/com. cube. android" have the gfirewall apk, i delete that directory, also check whose apk create this directory. The apk is Cube_CJIA01.apk in /system/app, i delete this apk. It fixed. (I think you find the name may not same Cube_CJIA01.apk)"
Well, I revised this information and the folder are : "/data/user/0/com. cube.activity" or "/data/data/com. cube.activity" and in the folder "files" I found :
"_com.gsz.own.pack.apk" and "_com.zgs.gg.pack.apk" (GSearch and GFirewall), I deleted this APK's and I think the problem is solved ..... NOT REALLY!!
If you check the folder "shared_prefs" you find various XML with the information shared at ALISOFT (Chinesse company) and specifically "ApkLoader.xml" with the URL where are downloaded GSearch and GFirewall. Only you need to delete in the XML the parts what you not are interested .... well, if you reboot the phone, the infected XML are restored. The best option is delete the file Cube_CJIA01.apk (do Backup) and reboot the phone. The mentioned folder disappears and the phone works well. Enjoy !!!
Best regards.

Hi jorfen,
I want to follow your instructions, but I need to root my phone before.
Pelase can you give me some hint (or link) to find the right software?
I don't want to install another chinese spyware (like probably VROOT), to remove GFirewall and GSearch

Hi Federico,
I think you already have rooted the phone. Well, I used for this MTKDroidTools, found in this forum (and modified for only install 'su" and "SuperUser.apk"). No problem, only is needed root for System access.
The app Cube_CJIA01.apk is in the folder "/System/app/" (the normal folder for System App's ). The folder "/data/user/0/" is a soft-link (use ln in linux) to the folder "/data/data/"). You locate in this folders the same information, and this is a default folder for working or write files, used in the APK's. Every reboot of phone regenerate information in this folder.
Best regards.

Adware/Virus on Android

Hello
im facing an ad-ware issues on my htc desire 610
out of no where my phone's screen dims and an add appear (while im on my home screen and all the apps are closed)
You can see the adds in the attachment
please tell me how to locate and remove it

You could try running Malwarebytes, I've normally had quite good results with it.

It's one of the apps you're using. Go through the permissions your apps have

i also have this problem... i guess "Clean Master" is doing it in my Z3 Compact.

I have solved this issue on canvas a116 and core duos (gt i8262)
firstly, to check the severity of the virus do this : go to settings>security>device administrators
try to remove all apps under device administrators. If u are unable to remove them implies the virus is now embedded to ur fone's firmware.
solution : 1. backup ur contacts and media only, (do not backup apps and app data)
2. now u need to do a factory reset either from recovery menu or using adb (factory reset from 'settings' wont work)
3. if u again see any app under device administrators then the only solution is to reflash ur firmware
About the virus: This virus come packed in several apps on playstore in april 2015, those apps were immediately removed from playstore. however before its removal from playstore the virus had infected around 5000 smartphones. some websites refer to it as ghosthost virus. Still some non playstore apps carry this virus with them. once you install such apps, the virus will first root ur fone, and then grant itself superuser permissions without u even knowing it. Then it will install itself into system folder so dat it appears to be a system app. Whenever u r connected to internet it will download adware and install them in system folder. Its a very powerful virus, it also hides itself by running a script. Once it is in system folder u wont be able to delete it because it imitates the file names of the system files.

There's a huge list of infected apps hosted by Google playstore. So I think it's not easy to keep our devices secure from virus infection.

AVG can be as correct the problem

Hi guys! i have a serious adware problem on my elephone p7000 and i hope you can help me out.
So it's been a few days and i haven't been able to uninstall this mofo.
Here's what the adware is doing:
-Used to open ads on homescreen. it did that disguising itself as a dancing matrioska doll (which you could move around). since i installed CM security it stopped showing this kinds of ads.
-It opens pop up windows with du batery saver or other related apps (from appstore and from non-official stores). Mostly when i browse the internet.
-it places vertical ad banners (like the normal ones on almost every app on the store) on some apps, it seems to be random, cause it doesn't always happen on the same app, but it's always placed on the lower side of the phone.
-it installs push notifications with ads
-i believe it shows app ads on google play store (i haven't installed any app in quite a while so it could be google implementing this).
i have tried a lot of apps:
-Avg
-Avira
-Avast
-Malwarebytes
-CM manager (found a stagefright vulnerability and fixed it)
-Stagefright detector (with vulnerable result)
-addons detector
-airpush detector
-trustgo ad detector
-adware
-ad clean & antivirus security
and not even has been able to remove this damn malware, they don't even spot it!
i've also tried looking for all the apps on the phone,searching for apps with all the permissions and here's the list ( i don't know if these are the problem or not):
-Aging test
-agoldFactory test
-Bluetooth
.Bluetooth Share
-Bluetoooth LE
-Common data service
-e_Compass
-Elephone launcher (apparently it's the same as X launcher mysterious)
-LocationEM2
-MTK THERMAL MANAGER
- at least 3 different phone apps, 2 with 4.4 icons and 1 with android 5.0 icon. all have access to everything (is it normal to have 3 apps with the same name but different icons? )
- settings storage
-trusted face
-ygps
i have also cleared the cache of the phone, because i've read on several places that it helps (settings -> storage -> clear cache data) but with no positive result.
i have also tried looking for admin permissions but the only things in there are CM security and android manager (which i suppose is NOT an app but part of the OS).
I have tried looking for hidden files while checking my phone on my pc but there wasn't any nor did i find any weird app NOT installed by me.
i don't know if you have any other advice on what to do, or if you can help me reduce this list of apps so i can find the culprit app.
i'm afraid this is the ghost virus everyone's talking about, it appeared out of nowhere.
i haven't browsed that much. and when i do i always go to trusted sources. apart from the netflix app which i downloaded a few days ago i haven't downloaded anything in like 1 or 2 months and didn't have this problem until a few days ago. Right after my girlfriend's phone (same model as mine) got the same problem.
We both had the "install from untrusted sources" option on because i was testing an app i am making, but i doubt that's the problem since we only activated it whenever i tried to install the app on the phone (like twice in a week).
she has sent me pictures or files through mail, whatsapp or telegram only and it's the only link between our phones, besides being under the same wifi connection, of course.
thanks in advance for the help!

This is a known issue with these types of devices. They have these ads built into the system apks.

Hi !
Thanks for that solutions !

Adware and infected htc desire 526 g plus
Guys I am in a pickle! :silly:
I want to wipe my HTC desire 526 plus clean of malware that is causing it to download unwanted apps without consent. The malware seems capable of modifying the inherent permissions and bypassing all security features.
I am unable to gain root access by kingoroot alone. adware is not letting me update the Superuser app and being nasty on purpose.
It can gain permission to automatically start wifi, gain pemission to install 'Unknown Apps' and sends location and data with impunity. The ads are everywhere.:crying:
I have tried stock backup but it still reinstalls all the malware and the same cycle begins again. What I want is a freash stock rom/nand backup for this menace. Surprisingly I still cant find one link on the world wide web. Please Help me find it.

Uninstall cloned dual messenger apps?

I tried that for 1st time on WhatsApp & then I noticed some battery drain. I uninstalled the cloned app, but in Apps, I still see cloned apps created automatically by the service such as Android system webview & Google play services with no uninstall/disable buttons.
Is there a way to get rid of these please?

hello has anyone heard of a solution for this issue or if one was already provided in this comment's original thread, can a lick be provided for it? i think I'm having the same issue from the context of this comment. Maybe the only difference is that my phone is not rooted which im sure will end up being a factor in whether there is anyway to resolve this or not. samsung galaxy j7 pro j7271 wth it has too many names out there lol. meteopcs 2017 variant if that helps. nonrooted 8.1 and trying to stay that way if possible as this is my only phone. thanks for your time!

Try clearing data of Dual Messenger in Settings - Apps & then disable/freeze it. I don't remember how I fixed it but since I'm using custom roms, I think I wiped data in twrp after backing up me apps & reinstalling the rom.
On stock rom if disabling the app doesn't work, u may have to reset.

Thanks! For some reason, I'm cannot disable it. I'll give resetting a try and post back whether that works or not. I had considered resetting, but was being stubborn trying to figure out another way.

Success Uninstalling Shadow Services
I have a Samsung S8 and was facing the same issue when I searched for "Uninstall Dual Messenger" and found this thread. I resolved the issue and decided to return here and say what I did to get them all uninstalled. I didn't have a "Secure Folder" also, I already opened the "Dual Messenger" setting and disabled the available options. The missing step for me was to go to Apps > ANT+ and click Force Stop and Disable. I had already uninstalled "Copy Of Messenger" when I discovered that it doesn't remove the copy of play services and everything else. Removing the ANT+ App removed about five or six "Copy Of.." Apps as well. I hope this is enlightening. After removing all of your Dual Apps, Copy Of.. Apps & Secure Folder, Remove the ANT+ App. On Galaxy S8 With The Latest Updates As Of 6/9/20 I alas successfully removed the remnant shadow service copies that were associated with Dual Messenger.

Hey so I dont have the App ANT+ installed. I checked with other Apps that list all system Apps as well but there's no ANT+ App. Any idea how to do it?
