Porn Club malware - Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
My son has somehow affected his tab 2 (GT-P3110) with some kind of malware called porn club-apk.
To try to get rid of this I first tried uninstalling from the application manager but it has so many components it's difficult to identify them all. Some of those I have identified, don't have an uninstall option, only disable.
Then I tried a factory reset but as soon as I connect to the wifi it is downloading again and impossible to stop.
I have then downloaded and flashed the stock ROM from sammobile and again its there as soon as I connect the wifi.
Then another factory reset with the flashed version.
Please can someone help me get rid of this!
Regards, Cougar

Check that port 5228 TCP is open on your router. I've also had this problem when i uninstalled the Gtalk service and the IM application(using Titanium Back-up), i restored a Nandroid back-up to fix it.

Hi race...
I have tried it. But still the same.
Thanks for your suggestion.

Thank you!
Had the same problem for a few days a while back. I tried several things without any luck. I could load pages and everything else using edge/gprs except for downloading through Android market. I could download from the market using wifi, just not my edge/gprs. However suddenly the problem disappeared all by itself, seemed like that anyway cause i have no clue what i did there could have fixed the problem :S
try to download application's when you connect from your 3G internet. it might help you. i have sometimes the same problems sometimes.

[Q] Can't download from Play Store via WiFi

Hello guys. This is my first post on the forum. My problem is that my phone running 4.2.1 can't install apps or any updates from Play Store via WiFi. I haven't tested downloading with 3G yet. When I click the "Install" or "Update" button in Play Store, the d/l bar pops up with the "Waiting on network" above. the d/l never starts. I think it is because of my phone and not the WiFi router because my old LG L3 running stock 2.3.6 has no problems. My phone is currently on the stock ROM and rooted but i've flashed custom ROMs before. I've tried many solutions on the Internet like deleting Play Store's updates, data and cache, but none works. I don't want to factory reset my phone. Can anyone fix this? Thanks in advance. And sorry for my bad English if there are any mistakes.

unfortunately, maps has stopped

Hello, I keep having this problem for a week. Could you please tell me how to fix it? I am using a p905 note pro lte internatonal sim lock free, unrooted device. Thanks
Go to settings 》application settings and try clearing the data for the application
do you mean application manager? Tried twice but the issue remains.

try and uninstall it and re-install if you are able.. something could have gotten screwy ... also.. a lot of the google apps tend to sometimes have issues after updates.. you could just try and uinstall the most recent update and see if it still occurs..

I cannot uninstall the app. there is no such option. i uninstalled update and this error message shows up non-stop.
keep having the problem the entire day. what can I do? thanks
I uninstalled updates and the error shows up like craxy. Then, I went to playstore to reinstall update. Still get the error shown on the topic. Is there anything that I could do besides a factory reset?

are you rooted?if you are, you can use Titanium Backup to uninstall the app (think you might have to buy the pro if you dont have in order to mess with system apps, but if you dont own and are rooted, 1 of the few apps very worth buying).
if you do this, then you can go and reinstall from playstore as a fresh install..
if those don't work, then factory reset/odin back to stock may be needed..
also, if rooted you could try using a rom and flash that as an option..
My device is not rooted. Is there a way to solve the problem without rooting?
Only other thing I'd try prior to a factory reset would be to remove your google account information and then add it back in (settings - general - accounts). This may reset GAPPS (google apps) to the point where maps works again.
Did you by any chance delete or deactivate several Google processes? Like Google Services?

[Q] Phone rebooting while installing (or updating) apps

Hello,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace 3 (GT-S7270).
It's been working fine for a while, but recently, it developed a strange and very annoying habit of rebooting when I'm installing or updating apps. The problem doesn't happen all the time, but the frequency is alarming.
Some apps never succeed in installing, no matter how many times I try (facebook, Clean Master...).
Other apps needed a few retries after each reboot to finally install them (messenger, viber...).
Some apps install or update without problems at times.
If the phone reboots when updating a new app, the app disappears afterwards, and re-installing it might not work on the first try.
I do all my app business via the official "Play Store" app. The app always finishes downloading, then begins installation, after which the screen turns black and the Samsung logo appears, declaring a reboot.
I tried resetting my mobile to factory settings; twice. But the problem persisted.
I just can't figure out the reason. I tried removing the battery, removing the SD card, switching between wifi and data internet, but the phone kept rebooting.
Anybody got a clue why this is happening, and if there's anything I can do about it???
Thanks a lot.

I posted on many forums and tried so many things, to no avail.
There's one last thing I plan on doing, and it's flashing my mobile back to Original Stock firmware.
I thing it got corrupted somehow, and kies is not working on my mobile, saying it was modified.
But the problem is, my internet is retarded and I can't finish downloading the firmware, not matter how many times I try, especially that the site is really annoying!

That's the link to the file I want to download, if you have better internet, can you please download it, and then upload it to a more suitable cloud service (dropbox, google drive, onedrive...) and then sharing the link with me so I can download it and try this method for the both of us?????
Thanks a lot!

Android Tablet is dead

Hey all
This my first time in here and I don't have plenty of experience when it comes to android so please be patient
I have a chinesse iconix tablet that has been giving me hard time. it installs apps without confirmation (I believe these apps are trojans), I tried installing firewalls and antiviruses (kaspersky and bitdefender) but nothing changed, finally I installed a trojan killer and it found the trojans but once I gave it the order to clean them, it got stuck so I rebooted my tablet and unlickily now it's dead, when I try to turn it on, it gets stuck on the logo, I tried wiping the cache and restoring factory settings but nothing worked so now I'm stuck
Anyone can help please and be patient to explain in details (like a dummy's guide)

First, those trojans probably came from some other app that you installed and that app is what installed the trojans. It is common when dealing with Chinese software.
Second, you will have to flash your stock firmware to solve this.
Do a Google search for:
"Return to stock (your specific model number)"
If it is available, that will find your stock firmware, the instructions to flash it and the tools to flash it.
If it isn't available, you are probably out of luck.
