Virus removal help - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So i recently downloaded an app outside of the marketplace. I was dubious about the app at first and now its came back to bite me. Ever since i downloaded the app my email has sent out roughly 10k emails. None are showing in my sent folder. Only reason i noticed was because i own my own webserver and noticed my account had exceeded its limit.
I have read about a yahoo app infected with a botnet virus. I downloaded a ttorrent app and thats all i downloaded on the date the emails started. Ive tried running antivirus from marketplace but not picked up anything.
Ive had to stop all of my outgoing email from the affected account for the time being but can anyone help find out how to remove the virus without doing a fa tory reset??

If u r rooted,first uninstall and clear data for any suspected app,second install droidwall to block all apps u dont want to access ur wifi and 3g,for sure u will solve the problem or at least u will identify this problem source app,once u know it u can uninstall or freeze using titanium backup..good luck

Really?! Return phone to factory default? REALLY?! I just want to switch profiles!

Hola lads and lasses,
So I originally set my Epic up on my personal gmail account. Four months later I'd like to move over to my GApps account but in order to remove the gmail it's saying I have to return the phone to factory default. A couple questions. Really? I can't just switch and keep both? Why (or is that moot)? Next question: what's going to happen, what am I going to lose? How should I prepare (I already moved all contacts over to the GApps acct)? Anything else to consider? I have not rooted but will if I must.
Thanks!

I never tried but can't you add the second account and switch it to default first?

My guess is to help prevent app sharing.
Me and my g/f both have android devices. We both got a different set of paid apps. I've tried logging in to her account to get her apps but experienced the same problem.

Good question. How do you set a default profile? I don't see that setting anywhere.
I'm not one to be giving advice here, but I am kinda in the same boat. I have a samsung moment on cricket I bought from craigs that has the last owners gmail account on it. I cant reset the phone as from what I heard ill lose the flash. Ne way, from what I read and gathered, but have not tried yet, is to z4root, then download titanium backup, remove gmail app from phone with tb, then download the gmail app from the market. Then log in and it should re ask for an account. I'm gonna do it tommorow and I can let you know if it worked or not.
Don't know I was guessing (hoping for you) lol. Like I said never tried it but the way they word it when you try to delete the main account that's what it sound like. I came across that when I sold my moment so the reset was gonna happen any way

So what's the verdict GB? Did it work? What did you lose (if anything)?

GMail Sending Issues?

Has anyone been having issues with their Gmail not sending emails?
I have tried to send emails but I keep getting the "sending..." notification in the email header.
The syncing icon in the taskbar just keeps spinning.
Ive tried to reboot the phone, etc.
Nothing.
I"m on Caulkin's ROM.
This is really frustrating as I use my phone for work as well and it delays my response times to important Clients.
Thanks!
Yeah experimented that a couple of weeks a go and dont know what of the 3 things I did was the one that worked:
1)Go to settings/Applications/Manage Applications in there go where the gmail app is (Downloaded or All) and clear the app data
2)If it have been updated in the market search for it in your apps in the market app ...uninstall it and reinstall
3)The last option is to use Root Explorer to go to system/apps delete the gmail app there and from other source paste another copy of the gmail app
Hope it works

I had the same issue on a stock rom (rooted). Turned out it was an app called Seal that was the culprit.
I learned that whenever I restore a backup, I have the clear data in Gmail or I get the same issue.
Not sure if it's the same cause for yours but clear data and send a test email. Pm me after, I'm interested to see if this works

Yup.
That's exactly what did it for me.
I went from UnNamed over to Caulkins last week and did a Titianium restore of my app+data.
Cleared the data in Applications>Gmail. That did the trick.

Change meid or android id for instagram???

OK so I had an instagram account get flagged and banned. This happened before about 2 months ago but all i did was make a new account with a fake email and it worked. I know iphone users have to go switch thier phones or do a factory reset at the store or something. So i thought i was good. Well now it seems the program knows when your phone is YOUR PHONE . Even if i had another account tha wasnt banned I wouldnt be able to get in. So i tried changing my Android Id with Titanium Backup Pro and it didnt work. That led me to believe it is the MEID i have to change maybe.......
Im not sure but i really do love instagram and i honestly think HATERS are flagging my pics because none of them are complete nudity and if its close its more of a photography/artwork nudity then porn ...
any help would be appreciated even suggestions .. lets work .. and thanks in advance
You could contact the instagram admins to find out why you got banned and if there is an appeals process to get your account back.
Or you could take your lumps like an adult and accept the fact that you violated their t&c.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk 2
i understand that .. ill find the link to appeal ...
but im not worried about getting my account back..
but it basically banned MY PHONE not my account .. bc i had more than one account for business purposes and now i cant sign into that one on this phone
ive been banned and all i had to do was make a new account ... i know iphone users have to factory reset thier phone or take it to the apple store ..
ive factory reset , flashed a different rom, use titanium backup to change android id ... used a paid app to change android id ..... nothing ..... this is retarted of them as a company why not just delete the account ... what access did they have to ban my entire phone .. HOW DOES IT EVN KNOW ITS MY PHONE
Don't change your meid silly, that's your identity to your phone company.

Lol Thanks .. i dont know what it does but I got my phone to be able to accept accounts. Im not 100% sure but ithink it puts a file called .profig.os on your sd card root so it can know that its your phone but i basically formatted my sd card and ODINED to fc19 and signed in with a different gmail for the initial setup
so it either has to do with the gmail u use with the inital setup and the market
or its that file bc "profig" looks alot like profile instagram abbreviated
but thanks for the tip anyway bc i would of been SOL if i changed my MEID probably
Yes it's the profig that is the one doing that I just kept deleting it every time I logged in thanks very much for this and God instagram sucks for banning both accounts even tho I only did "immoral"stuff on one

I recently have the same problem. Hoping someone can shine some light on my situation. I feel like I tried everything but get a new phone. I was in the process of using Titantium Back Up Pro to change Android ID but came across this thread. Then what I did was clear data for instagram then removed SD Card then reinstalled Instagram but still says my account is disabled. I even changed my android ID removed my current Gmail account made a new one and then installed Instagram all with sd card out and still says im disabled.

It's an Instagram issue that must be taken up with Instagram support.
Rotted Users.
Here is a fix for instagram banning your device.
ROOTED USERS ONLY!
Step 1 : Find a none stock rom or a different rom from what you are useing.
example : Stock LG G2 rom to AOSP
Step 2: Flash the new rom no dirty flash complete wipe.
Step 3: Create a new account with a new email.
Step 4: http://www.bluestacks.com/ i request downloading this VMWARE type of android to create your instagram account.

Why is this so HARD or am I stupid???

Alright so i been going nuts trying to figure out why when i sign in a new device it gets full access to all my google account information. I have a few android phone in the the house all using different google address so its fine. But recently purchased a new tablet and both me and my brother signed in which is fine. Installed all the apps that were purchased from the Play Store and this is were the problem is.
When you sign in once the tablet now has access to everything related to that google account and no verification is asked or prompts to login. I don't want my brother reading my emails and he is the same it makes no sense why you enter it once and the device has access to everything. I would like to control what features of my google account a device has access too.
I just want to be able to install purchased apps on the tablet and nothing more, is this possible?
Hahahah. Jebise. Haha. Bravo on the nik.
AFAIK, no is the answer to ur question. Google is said to be working on multiple user accounts. Maybe an app is out on play store that locks ur email app but i havent heard of it.
PS. Pusti brata neka cita email naucice nesto novo. Heheh.

Thanks, it was unintentional way back when i was thinking of an internet alias. It was suppose to be Jebus (Homer say this in one of the episodes) but young foolish me decided to spell it Jebise and it just kinda got stuck and like you once in a while i get these messages. I know what it means now but anyways back to OP.
That is really dump. This is why we never shared accounts, I don't want to purchase the same apps again. I guess Apple has it right with the AppStore because it prompts for a password to install apps and there is no link to email.

Look in settings in the app store I think there is a setting where it will ask you if u want to ask for password before installing any apps. My phone is off so i cant confirm but I believe i did see it almost 100 %.

It's for a PIN but that still does not solve the issue for gmail. I guess we can just uninstall the app.
Sign in, install your apps the remove the account.
Solved.

THIS! and/or titanium backup...
yes but thats kind of annoying.
or you can just go to the google settings in each tab and tell it not to sync email and calander or just disable google sync for all app all together.

yeah but if you go into the app, you can still manually see emails and such even if sync is disabled. it seems I have to remove my account or use TB which is a pain with multiple devices and that not even including updates.
After some thinking I think I will just have to create a new google account just for purchasing apps and nothing else. Sad google has no real control on this.

not if new apps are purchased or updates.
I think the far easier option is to create a generic email with just a CC used to purchase apps.
Check out Switch Me on the Play Store.

instagram disabled on my g3

hey guys, so a week ago, my instagram account got disabled for no reason. everytime i try log in then it says "your account has been disabled for violating our terms". and this is bull****. i never violate any terms at all.
so i emailed instagram about this and yea they replied, but they dont do **** to help me, they just told me to go to help center but theres never an answer there.
but then, i tried to log in to my account using the instagram app using my dads phone, i can logged in no problem, then i tried my friends phone, i can logged in too. i tried to log in using the web, yes i could logged in too. so i search on google, instagram actually disabled your device from ever logging to their client. idk wtf that means. they trace our device by imei or some **** idk.
so i tried the xprivacy method from xposed(yes my g3 is rooted)but it still doesnt worked, i still cant log in to my account using my phone.
so i have a final solution. im gonna root my friends phone, then im gonna try to log in to my account using my friends rooted phone, then backup the app instagram using titanium backup, then send the backup to my g3, then restore the app and app data back to my phone. after i restored the app and open the app, will my account still logged in from my friends phone earlier?
any titanium backup experts here? i just want to make sure of this because so that i rooted my friends phone worth it. so please answer this.
thanks in advance xda.

If the block is done on the Instagram's side (server), I don't think that will work.
