Does anyone know of any apps that may send international text messages to south korea. I noticed a charge on my bill and I started checking to see they went back to october. Sprint says they can't tell what the number is and I have downloaded several permissions apps from the market and the ones setup to send sms don't seem like apps that would be doing this. The charges aren't expensive but not knowing what is in these ghost texts has me worried. Thinking about odin back to stock and starting fresh. Anyone have any suggestions.

you might want to download a virus checker; maybe even odin/heimdall to start from scratch.
sounds like some funky stuff (technical term) got on your phone
Maybe your phone was texting home....isn't that where Samsung is? LOL.

Do u have an antivirus installed? If not, that's recommended. And have thought of trying google voice app?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Have used lookout, avg, and a few others all saying clean. I uninstalled most apps that reported text. Guess its time to odin again. Thanks for your responses. I was hoping someone might have ran into this before but I only found one other instance on the web through a sprint forum.

Use this one...it is fantastic..I use this one. Zoner antivirus. Its completely free...and trust me it works. Lookout is garbage

I was trying to idownload a zip file once, and zoner wouldn't let me...cuz it was an exploit. After I disables zoner, I was able to do it.

Zoner did pick up my gingerbreak.apk I had stored on the sdcard as a threat where everything else didn't. Thanks for the suggestion

I have evo running cm7 someone hacked my phone they got my txt msgs and forwarded them. I always have my phone. How can I find out how they did this and how can I prevent this.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
OK, well it really isnt possible to remotly hack a phone unless you installed an app that let somebody do this. So, two questions, what have you installed recently, and how do you know somebody hacked your phone?
Well really nothing and I also get 10 to 15 blocked calls a day I have Mr number blocker installed to block these but somehow some get through to my voicemail. The messages were saved and the whole thread was forwarded. Also pictures get forwarded and phone makes calls by itself
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Sounds weird.
Full wipe and/or factory reset just to be safe. Probably not a good idea to use any backups from the infected rom.
LBE Security is an app for free on the market.
It'll prompt you if an untrusted app tries to do anything malicious like that.
Swyped from my Htc Evo using XDA App.
How does he know that they were forwarded.... probably someone was messing with your phone
With adb you can use the following to find out what all is running, whatever is doing it should show up on there
Code:
adb shell ps
I always keep my phone on me. I know they were forwarded because my ex got pic and messages and I did not send them thanks guys

check your apps through TB or manage apps and see what is all on your phone, maybe your ex or someoene installed something on your phone to forward texts.. i had a ex try and install a app on my phone (cant remeber its name), this app was suppose to be hidden and only accessable by hiting some numbers on the dial pad and hitting send.. But i noticed right away somethign was weird in my phone (it was acting real slow) and i looked in applications and manage apps and found it and uninstalled it..
Looked at my apps, saw nothing weird

If you're on of those people who believe your phone can get hacked I'd suggest lookout security or avg free antivirus to ease your mind.
Yea, I find it hard to believe someone hacked your phone JUST to send pictures to your ex girlfriend. Are you sure you didnt get drunk and send them yourself? Or let your friend borrow the phone?
I don't drink and its happening well thanks anyway I guess I wont find a solution here
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Are you sure someone didn't sign in to your Sprint picture mail acct online? I think they can forward from there. Also if you always use the same password, they can dial your number and access your vm and forward them etc

I would like to delete the stock HTC/Android music players and use Winamp only. Can I put Winamp into system/app and use it as the default music player? Is there any special way to do it and will there be any issues? Thanks in advance.
You can use it as default without deleting the stock player. Removing the stock music app could cause issues, so if you want to try it, I'd either back up the app with Titanium Backup (or freeze it) or make a nandroid backup first. To freeze apps - and possibly backup system apks - you need the Pro version of TB or another app that will do the same.
After removing the stock music player, if you do so successfully, it isn't necessary to move Winamp to /system/app.

Thanks plainjane, you always have my back. The reason I ask is I don't like a lot of different apps that do the same thing on my phone. If removing it might cause issues I'll just freeze them. I do have TB pro. Thanks again. Off the topic but, would you know why my participated topics are not showing up on the xda app on my EVO?

Mine don't show either, now that you mention it. I use Tapatalk but I've purchased the XDA app, so I'll download it & check there in a sec. I've never used the "participated" tab, though. I just go to profile and then posts if I want to check stuff I've recently posted.
If freezing doesn't cause any issues, you can then remove it safely. I'd make a backup of it in TB though, just in case. And since you already have the app, you can easily convert Winamp to a system app. As I said, not necessary, but shouldn't hurt anything.
Edit: No go in XDA app either. You can contact someone about it if it's a feature you regularly use, maybe someone can get it sorted out.

As long as you survived a reboot you should be safe to delete, I would make a backup of the app incase you run into an issue later on.

Yea, I'll do that. I don't really need all the different music players and I really like Win amp. I like streamlined, 1 if my favorite apps for whatever I need. What I was looking to do was what you did with your apps from Go. Kinda migrate them in to the ROM.

I know there is someone who has encountered this problem. I know its mostly Google's retarded faulty programming that is causing this and I've Googled it and I still can't find a solution. I cleared data and cache, reboot it, accept terms, yet when I try to buy an app, I still get the same problem. I've had this happen before. I'm on the OTA Gingerbread Plus ROM.

I think it might be the ROM. I talked to Android Market support. And I was able to sign in on my mom's phone and bought an app. Here is the ROM I'm using.

Gotcha, glad you were able to figure it out. If it helps, you should contact Jermaine151 and let him know of your issue. I want to say that was an anomaly since Stock Plus is a popular rom.
All in all, glad the issue is resolved.
Well it will be when I get the market he'll put in the post so I can flash it. But I'm glad its not my phone lol

I received a notification in the status bar to upgrade to the newest market. I clicked on it and was taken to a site I had never heard of before - wrappio.com. After looking at the site and reading some stuff online it looks like borderline spyware / spam to me. Needless to say I am not too happy about it. I have not installed any suspect .apk files and only downloaded apps from the market. I am running Juggs 4.1 along with the ICS theme / Darkside theme.
Can anyone tell me where this might have come from?
Thanks, in advance.
I see that type of issue alot with my customers that stop into the store. Download lookout or avg. One of your apps is causing that issue it happened to me with mp3 download pro. All kinds of odd notifications were popping up.

I just have a couple of dumb questions.
Do the motions being active consume battery?
Do I have to engage anything before tapping my screen to send a file to another phone? (or is having that check box enabled1 enough?) also is the Galaxys3 the only phone compatible with that feature?
The commercial where the guy just swoops a document from his phone to the tv... What's the process for that and I imagine it only works with certain tvs after an annoying registration /setup process.
Are they working on improving svoice or is that not a huge priority
Is there a voice dialer like on froyo that doesn't require the internet to do phone functions? I don't like relying on 3g.
I'm sure I'll think of more, but I apologize if this is in the wrong thread. Please just let me know and I'll copy paste to the right one.
