I just restored an EL29 Android and fired up the stock browser to do a Google search since I set Google.com as my homepage. It got changed to a different site that looked similar to Google but wasn't.

I just downloaded an antivirus app, I might do a second one just to make sure, and will run it once I finish with this post. I will Google the site to see if anyone else experienced this. I've never seen this before.
Edit: Ran Google search and some people were saying they got it from brightest flashlight. I did dl it and run it to see if I had and screen burn in (I did :-( ). I had already uninstalled the program before running the browser. At the bottom of the dev's page on g play, it said the app adds a search shortcut to your home screen and changes your default browser homepage. I couldn't recreate this behavior. If this is/was true, this is very uncool of the dev company. I didn't see it in the bottom of the description in the play market because there was a lot of text there. Reading the user agreement was kind of counter productive. What I mean is when you run the app for the first time, it turns on the camera led and brings up the EULA. You can't read it and turn off the led. So, read the EULA but shorten the lifespan of your camera led. Nice. I font know if that was the guilty app for me either. Scan turned up nothing but something inside the autoroot.zip file I downloaded and have on the card. Something about elf:looter-h (pub).
Happened to me before but i caught really fast too ...i think it has to do with those wierd third party apps you manually install ...some can be screwy man!

U have malware....search airpush in the market and it will show u an app that will detect what is on ur phone causing the issue.

Ran airpush detector and it found nothing. Addons detector found lots but they were from legitimate apps. I'm not running any warez either. Slideme.org has gave me crap before from one of their apps offered. I forgot what it was.
That sucks. Guess u never know what's being downloaded and how many employees leave good reviews for an app. Best bet is only DL stuff from devs that have several apps with good reviews, like teslacoil.

just looking for a good .torrent downloader app, one that downloads the torrents to the phone and not remote to your computer. Trying the bittorrent app right now, and it seems to be a little crappy. when i start a download it only connects to about 4 seeds and only goes about 3 kb/ps with WiFi. Do I have to change something in my settings to download faster?
There are a few torrent apps in the market. Just search for torrent.
How about trying out aBTC? I however think setting up a remote is much better.

I was in the same boat as you a couple weeks ago. I didn't want a remote downloader. I found a beta version of an app called dTor. A quick google search of "dTor android bittorrent" should bring up some more info for you. Also, check out BluePlanetApps on twitter. That's the developer.
I had some problems with the app while it was in beta. The developer said that it was running fine for everyone except three people with EVOs. We all sent him various logs and I believe he got all the bugs worked out (guess that's the point of beta, right?). Ironically, it sounds like there's a chance the full version will be released today.
Despite the problems that I had, I thought it was a great app that did exactly what I was looking for. If the developer got those minor bugs worked out, then it's going to be a winner.
Thread moved to Q&A.
Swarm will be on the market soon!

Here's a screenie...I got lucky to be a beta tester...offical market release should be very soon. Like within days.

Swarm is in the market now for $4.99 I am checking it out now. I tried dTor but it would force close on boot. This one appears to be working. The 10 peers max is definitely a downer though.
For the second time I have received an odd "One Call Missed" notification. It has a green plus sign next to it. My call log shows no missed calls on both occasions that I've received this notification. Here is a screen capture. Can anyone clue me in as to what this is?

I've had the same mystery notification twice now too. Although I'm using an LG p500 with a CM7 rom, so I'm wondering if it's something in the rom? Weird.
Looks like the ads that I get when I had the free version of the iphone keyboard. The icon is identical.
Makes me wonder if it's from one of the apps I'm using.. like a form of ad-ware etc. I only started getting it recently, and I've got a few new apps. Only thing is, they are full version paid apps.
My EVO is fully S-Off rooted.. running the latest stock rom and kernel with the latest radios. I don't think it has anything to do with root, rom, etc. I'm thinking it's app related.. whatever it is.
Try AirPush Detector to locate the app causing this.
Thanks for the suggestion einarki. I went and grabbed AirPush Detector and ran it. It's showing one app. It's an app I've had for some time now tho, so I'm not convinced it's the culprit considering this mystery notification first appeared maybe a week ago. I've had the app it detected for months.
Culprit - Root App Remover
I had the same notification and after installing the Airpush Detector it located an app called "Root App Remover". Once I uninstalled this app it removed the notification that was in my notification bar. Very helpful, thanks!

I'll second this. It's a useful app though so I just froze it with App Quarantine
This was really beggining to annoy me.
I thought it was Google voice or such,
now I know it's RAR lurking.

Thanks to all the posters.
Can anybody tell me what this is or how I could find out be it task manager or whatever... It appears every now and then whenever I'm connected to the web for an extended period of time. It stayed even after killing all programs via go launcher task manager

Do you have a music downloader on your phone? If you do, clear its app data and it will most likely go away.
If you don't have one or it doesn't work, then download Airpush and it will pinpoint the source

It was the music downloaded that was doing that for me. If you have it uninstall it. If you need a need a new one search for "music junk.apk" on 4shared.com. worked for me!

Thanks! Haven't seen any since I cleared the data.. also downloaded Airpush and found out some other apps were making different ads pop up which is useful info...
I guess I'll ask a second question while I've already got this thread: Does anyone know if WidgetLocker could cause the phone to not wake when the button is pressed, or perhaps anything else that could cause it.. I sometimes have to plug the charger in so that the screen comes on and after that it's okay. It's fine when i'm at home but potentially quite a major inconvenience.
WidgetLocker has randomly given me all kinds of odd issues not waking the screen, not being locked when woken up, changing themes on its own, moving or deleting Widgets finally it got sidelined for go locker now that it supports custom shortcuts

If you don't mind me asking, how do you do this? I used to have a program that I found on the Market named YouTube downloader, but I can't seem to find it anymore.

Can you use lockscreen widgets (like poweramp) with go locker? I had it once before and couldn't very effectively, so I used WL because I could..
But all my services are working, gmail, play, gtalk, plus and everything is syncing.
What could be causing it? Getting the triangle notification drop down saying sign in error and my pw is incorrect (but it is correct) and I don't know what app because it is not saying what app.
Just started happening after the numerous app updates from yesterday/today.
I'm getting the same thing, I think they had a bug in their release.
I'm seeing the same thing after taking updates this afternoon.
Stock HTC EVO 3D on Sprint.
It went away when I restarted my phone yesterday but came back today I wonder what app is causing it

I thought was google+ too, but after uninstall it and reboot, after a couple of hours, same error...it's something with g-apps in general.

Great I am not alone. For example see one there I was wondering if I had my Gmail account hacked and password changed. But like you all, all of my accounts synced. Still don't know what it is but it started today after I opened the play store.

I would say delete Gmail.... Download from market and see if it helps.

Same issue here. I had it one other time, yesterday I think, rebooted my phone and thought it was taken care of. Today it's suddenly back again.
Somewhat a relief to realize I'm not the only one.
BTW, I'm using a AT&T Skyrocket...found this thread through search.
Well its not Google+, I have it uninstalled and got the error today, but I don't get the error as often with it installed.
So, I ws playing around in Titanium and came across 'Googe Play Services' app. After a second or two in Google Search,I came upon the APK in the actual market. (Play store) I decided to just see why/what it is doing there. Google already told me what it was.... I was curious.
The fun part was the comments. If you had a few seconds, check out the comments. Add your own..

Sorry if this was mentioned previously. I was genuinely amused.
Sent from my SPH-L710 Thanks Machine.
Could someone please actually tell me what this is?
My phone was not wanting to download or update any apps. I restarted my phone and I got a notification saying I had an app update. I clicked it and it took me to that app in the play store.
I assumed I had gotten a virus or something and was trying to be phished using this app. So I decided not to download it and did a factory reset on my phone.
After that my phone worked fine and it never popped up again. I made sure and installed an anti virus though.

Google Play Services allows applications that aren't directly tied in with Google Play to use Play to purchase in-app upgrades, etc.

So why did it pop up out of nowhere? Is it because I had an app installed that needed it?
