Snoopwall alerts? - Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble

Hello to all,, I have my tab pro 8.4 rooted. I don't remember installing anything called snoopwall and don't see it in app manager either.
What is this and where did snoopwall come from, and can I remove it ?
I just recently started getting them.

OK, this might be a really stupid question, but did you try a google search?

LOL really? Of course I did.
I have found that it's some sort of security app, but I haven't installed any of that so I'm stumped at how to disable it, or where I t came from.

Dunno how to remove it (yet), but maybe it hitchhiked in on another app? I hate when app makers bundle other stuff in their apps but it happens on occasion.
EDIT: Ah, think I found out why you can't remove it. According to:
https://snoopwall.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/201186946-Why-is-the-uninstall-button-greyed-out-
"SnoopWall needs to be an administrator of your device in order to block access to ports. This means that the administrator access needs to be removed before uninstalling. To do this you should go to security under settings and then click device administrators then uncheck SnoopWall. After this you should be able to uninstall SnoopWall just like any other app."

Mee too
I am having the same experience on a S4. Anyone figure out where this came from?
I don't have an entry under Application Manager for Snoopwall, nor does Titanium see it.
Pissing me off...

Same, I don't see any entry's at all. I'm pretty sure it piggy backed on another app.
Just don't know which one cause it waited a while before giving a notification
I'm thinking of just wiping data and starting fresh

When I had first encountered it, I was unsure how it got installed.
After I flashed a custom ROM it went away, so I figured it was from Samsung
Well it just popped up again, and it did it when I logged into my bank app.
So I removed the notification then logged back into it and it popped up again
So its my backing app lol, basically telling me that I have root

Why does a banking app need to b checking if u r rooted?

Prob, its more or less for security, because if your not carefully your personal info could be stolen

SnoopWall Mystery
If you bank at a Credit Union and have Installed their APP. More than Likely it installed SnoopWall. Go to the APP and find the security setting and you can set them or turn SnoopWall off.

Have you tried removing it? If it doesn't let you have you tried to go into Titanium Backup and deleting it from there?
http://partners.handango.com/handango/home.jsp?siteId=2768
That's the website that both the market icon and search take me to. There is no application that's related to these 2 programs that I could find.

You must have installed a crappy app that put those there. Backtrack a little, what were the last apps that you installed?
Thats a tough one. I just did an odin of stock then back to 2.7 calk with ICS theme. I installed about 30 apps not through titanium. I keep a running list and no apps have changed in at least 60 days. Hmm
Your phone has a bug... Factory reset and don't install the "Sexy Time You Have Won a Million Dollars From a Nigerian Price Angry Bards Random APK On The Internet" app this time.

Handango.com is one of the VERY first app markets out there, long before android came about. We're talking palm pc, even before pocketpc which was before even Windows mobile.
It's just YET another marketplace to spend on apps. Think amazon market, Samsung market, etc.
On the other hand, no idea what you installed that got you their market. I HAVE heard of a few apps installing this that came from pirate sites.

Lol +1 and 10 chars
I have a Vibrant and after letting the real Market run updates on a bunch of apps, I ended up with these same two icons.
Download Addons Detector and it will list all the advertising and other junk associated with every app on your phone.
I had that happen on my niece's tablet. It's caused by an app. Just drag and delete the market since its not an actual app but a shortcut to the websites page and then set a new homepage in your browser since the fake market overwrote yours.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
Yep this is what I did. I deleted them and cleared my internet cache and so forth. I do find it strange however, because I don't visit any pirate sites at least that I'm aware of. Since delete nothing has come back. Thanks for the tips.

Danged work firewall... let me check from somewhere else and get back.
*Edit* Well, that's definitely Chinese....
What conditions make this appear?
Any China-based apps that might be doing this?
If you have any... less than legit... apps this may be causing it as well.
Don't mention them if you do, just remove them and do the right thing.
(Mentioning or condoning them is a violation of XDA rules, hence the wording here.)
OP, Are you using a stock ROM, or MIUI?
It's a chinese dating app for lonely people. Well. Are you lonely?
P.S. Check all your apps on the phone and their permissions.
Download AirPush Detector from the PlayStore (free) and see if something comes up.

Could always wipe data - if it appears after that it's found its way into the ROM area.

I think I am going to do the same also with my surname though inside the phone.Is there any tracking program that I can install on my pc that I can search fory phone in case it is lost??

I'm sure there are several "tracking apps" that would allow you to track from a computer. I use AVAST Security app. I have it installed as a system app. I locate the device with a simple command via text message from my wife's phone or by computer. Even if GPS is off it will turn it on for the location service. The user is never aware when it happens.

Does this app have a hidden mode? Like you can only open it by dialing a set pin number? Because I'd like to have one in mine but it's pointless if it shows up in the app drawer or hidden apps... everyone knows those are there.

Running great for me. What bugs? Why do you keep closing the app to launch touch wiz? By profile you mean
System settings or what? I see all of my apps just fine.
I am running Paranoid Android rom and when I try to open the app, it says my device is not supported. Does it only support TW based rom for our note 2?

Media server battery drain issue

I have searched a few times for a resolution to this problem, but have been unable to find one that works. I have noticed that when the media server shows up under my battery stats screen I usually have an update waiting on play store.
Is there any way play store could be the cause?
In other posts I see people complaining of 10-20% battery consumption. Mine has hit up to ~70% battery consumption.

Turn your data off when you're not using it. But most likely it's an app causing a wakelock.

Ok this may be a dead question, but something I would like to add. For the past two days I have not seen the media server in my battery stats. This is a shot of what I saw this evening. Which this is what I think my battery page should look like. I have not made any changes that would explain why it's not showing up. Any ideas or comments appreciated.

Not today, not sure about yesterday. This is not the only time it has not shown up for a few days. I also have not had any app updates. I think it's like bilgerryan stated that something is causing a wake lock but I close out apps when I finish. And usually use avg task killer to kill most running tasks.
