Unknown app? - Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh

I have a problem and need help to resolve this. Ok there is a Japanese language app that keeps popping up on milestone. It will show up most of the time overnight and will be in my status bar and don't have a clue what it says? Sometimes the pic of a Oriental girl when I click on the notification I have ran anti virus, malware, spyware programs that never help if I click on anything it starts downloading something that is impossible to stop! Help please

I would back-up all my stuff, do a full wipe and install a fresh rom.
But if you dont want to do that, you should try to install Titanium Backup and remove all suspicious app.

You have encountered a virus it is a rare virus and Google has fixed on gingerbread but all it does is fill up your memory and pop up annoying adds sorry but a full system whipe may be your only choice

P.S. Hit the thanks button

use this app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.denper.addonsdetector
and turn on the notification monitor, next time the notification pop ups, you can see which app is the culprit

Thanx dude with that app I did find which app was doing it and I would have never thought it but it was SD Maid by darken a app that I use daily but I got rid of it! again thanx
I've just got to find a clean DL of sd maid!

XDA force close on each post

Every time I submit a post in the XDA application I get a pop up that says I need to force close the application. The post goes through but I need to force close the application to get it working again.
Very confused on why this is happening. I have the kernel dump log saved but not sure which part to post. The log file is just a hair over 1 megabyte, not sure why it's so large. Any way someone can point me to the relevant part to help figure this out?
Same on mine.
Same

Mine did that too. I uninstalled and reinstalled the app, fixed it.
I think there was another thread about that issue.
I had a thread like this. I just uninstall and re install when it starts doing that.

That's deff does not help. As many times as i've installed this app after restoring it STILL has this issue. It almost makes the app useless if your going to do anything but read. (And hear goes a force close as I post this lol)

Is there a fricken fix to this problem? Getting really pissed. Every time i post i got to log in. Prob will be forced out again after j make this post. Lol.
How about the actual tapatalk? Does that app force close too?

Edit: wow, no force close. Maybe its my lucky day.
Been having the same problem on mine, just uninstalled and reinstalled. Posting to test.
*Edit: No FC... Guess uninstalling/reinstalling worked.

I reinstalled it like 5 times and I finally don't get any FC's.

XDA App FCing

Does anybody else have problems with the XDA app force closing after making a post and know how to fix it?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I have read that the best remedy is to uninstall and install again. I think it worked on my 4th try one time
EDIT:Also try to delete the titanium backup if you have one after uninstalling it
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
It always happens. When it is finished posting, i can sometimes stop it from FCing if i hit the back button. Other than that, just something i live with.
Yup I have the same exact problem
numerous old threads on this - it has done it since the vibrant was released.
Ditto, living with it for now.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
It did it to me for a while. I think it has stopped. We shall see after I hit submit. >.>
Edit: nope didn't force close. Guess it just sorted itself out.

same thing is happening with me when I it post button, it give me some error message then I just hit back...although it posts the message successfully, its an irony that XDA's app fcloses !!

Android Music Beta

Alright I know you guys are going to be more help and faster than Google contacting me so here it is.
So I got invited to the music beta for google. I have uploaded my songs and am all signed in all that jazz. But the problem is that under the music beta i dont have a "options" choice under soft menu button. I am running CM7 on a galaxy s captivate btw. I have installed, unintalled, and reinstalled couple times with restarts included. No bueno. I have even replaced the music.apk in system/app with no luck still. Users that have been successfull have said as soon as you start the app you will be asked to link with your google acc. I didnt get that option. I dont have the sync music option either under android settings. And i cant sign in manually cause it doesnt even display a options menu choice! Thanks guys!

You try to wipe its data from manage app. Reboot then restart app? Turn on auto sync for a minute?

Wakelocks

I dunno what app is doing it. Though Facebook and Google services are the top two drainers.
Annoying.. Gsam doesn't help me figure out which app I need to delete.

Do factory reset and install Apex launcher and check battery usage again

why the hell would he do that? factory reset would be an absolute last resort.... and i have no idea why the hell you think installing apex would help him?
OP do you have google now enabled?
first thing i would do is disable data and disconnect wifi - make sure it is an app trying to fetch data that is causing the problem, if that turns out to be the case then simply stop all apps from syncing automatically and reenable a few at a time until you capture the problem one.
check out whether your GPS is being used too - google now would use your location and fetch data a lot, my money is on it.

fair enough... but you can be 99.99% sure that it is something you have installed that is causing it.

Uninstalled all the downloaded apps other than facebook and twitter, pretty sure it has something to do with the facebook app.

You should be able to disable it through settings/apps.

Pop up ads

I've been getting stupid pop up ads on my phone for the last week or so. I read that on 4.2+ I can long press on the ad and it'll tell me which app is causing this but it's not working for me. I'm using Dodol launcher; could that be why? I've also tried TrustGo Ad Detector and it doesn't tell me squat. How do I find out exactly which app is causing these ads so I can get rid of it?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using XDA Free mobile app
Is there anything in the notification window when these ads popup? Do you have a screen shot?
I ask because there seems to be two different kinds of ads: those who have a notification and those who don't. With the first kind, you can just do what you said and kill the app's notifications. If it's the second kind, you will have to uninstall anything that may be causing it until it goes away.
My wife used my old S3 for a while and was plagued by this problem. I had never seen it before, but she had a few shopping apps that I don't use.
Sent from my GS5
There's nothing in the notification bar. The really sucky part is that I downloaded quite a few new apps and now I have to get rid off most of them just to be sure.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using XDA Free mobile app
Maybe u should post a list of the apps u downloaded, so someone can look into them n find out which one is plagguing ur phone
