Stock default virus app bogus, T Mobile app virus? - Honor 8 Questions & Answers

I normally disable virus programs on all my Android devices. However on the honor 8 i couldn't locate it and earlier today i got the following notification. Bearing in mind ive had the device for two months now with said app installed.

It's in the Phone manager app. Just says virus scan though, maybe there's more hidden somewhere else

Can't find phone manager let alone the virus program itself. Lol. Any tips ?
I just tried re installation of my t mobile from the Google play store and straight away it came up with the same message.

This one. Not much more i can tell you though. It's stock and I think i even had it on MM.
Not sure why it doesn't show up for you.

Lol found the phone manager , it was under apps. Haha was looking for it under settings.

Pretty sure the warning message is because of the performance and usage monitoring and reporting that's part of the T-Mobile app. I seem to recall that on my older branded phone when you launch the T-Mobile app the first time it comes up with a dialog asking for permission to share metrics, etc. with the carrier.
That's preinstalled and there's nothing you can do about it without rooting on carrier-branded phones, but on an unbranded phone like the Honor 8 it's hopefully not present.

**Edit**
Did a search of my problem online and it seems that Motorola is trying to push an update to me? It will only download with an active wi-fi connection for some reason. Also I just tried updating my phone in settings and instead of saying nothing was available, its errors out because i'm not on a wi-fi network. Anybody confirm this for me please?
An update? Thats interesting...
I just hooked up my phone to a wifi and its auto downloading an update.

lol right?
I just checked my update status and it reads no update is necessary at this time? Any idea yet what the update is?
Its the first update we found on cheesecake. Its not official and I'm working with Mark the admin with Motorola to find out what it is. I guess he's gonna do something on moto's side. We shall see shortly.

These are files and they come from your phone.
Ahh, is that why they show up in a file explorer on my phone?
Doesn't explain why they just appeared one day.

How about you invest some time and don't assume every uses magic glass ball to know what you want.
There are 10 files on that screenshot, which one bothers you?
Well i guess you mean the file created 31 Dec, so why not tell me that?
You want the help, so don't let others do you work, do some research yourself, present others your result and THEN ask your question.
You did not even seem to have bothered google with "one" search first:
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=android+file+named+"mr.log"
Oh look at that 3rd entry.
A virus called "Yxes.A" creates a "mr.log" file, though the reports only talk about symbian OS.
You might have a virus...
NO STOP! Keep your finger of the reply button, don't ask how to remove it.
GOOGLE IT then come back tell us what you found and why it didnt work...
More specifically, the rc and sh files. The first thing I did was Google them, but the results meant nothing to me.
My reply wasn't meant to sound arsey so I apologise if it came across that way.

That's the app. And you may be able to find it under Security. I don't use it anymore so I can't remember, I use Cerebrus.
Seeing a stupid comment on Google Play about an app you love and marking it as "spam". You've done it too.
Thanks, it weirdly says install on the play store but in my device manager settings i have this option -

It's not in the settings menu. It's in the app drawer as Device Manager.

Go into Google Settings > Android Device Manager.The app you see in the Play Store is the manager you use when the device is lost, like what you get when you use it on a desktop. The actual thing is part of Google Services.
Yea i get it now. Lol

Sprint app removal

Okay, so I installed the Sprint Zone app because I actually use it and find it functional. However, with the latest update it also installed sprint fun & games. Something I don't want. I searched for the file using root explored and also checked the system app file and data app file. I can't find it anywhere to rename it bak. Anyone have any luck finding it?

After I saw this thread yesterday I looked around for it too. Seems they are linked somehow, but this is what I saw under app info, at the very bottom.
Both are the same app you need to uninstall the update

I went a head and uninstalled the update. After I did that the app forced closed and wouldnt function properly. The only way to get it to work as before was to update it. I went through the app file and found the fun and games and seen the launch was set to 1. I wonder if changing that to 0 would mess with the Sprint Zone app? Now I just need to find an editor.

Unable to upgrade

This morning, at&t update software downloaded a file approximately 700mb big, and when I attempted to update it started the reboot process, as it should, but then stopped abruptly and went back to booting the phone again, and update was not done. At first I thought it was marshmallow, but based on other posts here I see it was just 5.1.1 (right?) anyway, when I went back to software update it said "software update could not be completed" or something along those lines, and then this happened

Now I am unable to update, because the button is greyed out. What do I do? I was told marshmallow was coming soon why are they playing with out little hearts like that? [emoji20]

No marshmellow yet for samsung
Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk
Did the same for me. 1st set your date to Manual and change the date to sometime past the 11 hours. Clear your cache and delete a few unused apps. Download the update and It will then install fine.
Thanks for your help. It worked. After doing some research, I found list of upgrades that include samsung pay, UHQ audio and some other stuff. Does that apply to note edge, though? Or only s6 and above?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N915A using Tapatalk
There has been no change list for the Edge. I don't see any major differences, or any really at all. Performance had been much better, though.
So samsung pay is hardware based and note edge doesn't have it?
