It all started yesterday, when I turned on wifi and mine phone suddenly auto install 3 different apps from google play market and another 1 later on.
Today it happened again, just turned on wifi and 1 random app starts to install.
Those apps are Go Weather, Peoples Radio, gPen, ring tone (something) and today some game. (canelled it before it installed).
Scanned mine phone with avast and app detector. Nothing found. I also changed mine gmail account password yesterday and still cant find out the reason of the culprit of all these auton install random apps?
Any got any idea?
some dude is logged in on your market account on a PC:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...mdhbWVsb2Z0LmFuZHJvaWQuQU5NUC5HbG9mdFNYSE0iXQ..
you can click install, and then it will do that on your phone.
Re: random apps
I am curious, because I am also experiencing this just recently as well. I will just be sending a text message, and a window will appear asking if I want to install "gamebox". If I tap cancel, an SMS blip (not my normal message icon) will appear in my notification area. As soon as I open it, it will try to install another game. Shortly afterwords, my homepage for my Web app changed to "searchmobile". Which is strange because I have never seen that site or heard of it prior to today. Also just curious I after I uninstalled temple run...most of my issues stopped.
sounds like malware
To be on the safe side, go to Google store & change your password.

This is not same as mine problem, its push ads caused from others apps u installed and its wellknown. Mine problem, is all apps installed automatically when wifi turned on and like i got the apps push installed from google play.
Even changed password to gmail account didnt help and still got pushed installed another app day after.
Mine gmail account dont register others peoples logged in, except ip adress from mine computer/cellphone and I just dont know whats going on.
Same problem
I know this is an old post, but I am researching the same issue. I noticed a little popup notification that said "Glasses.com is installing." Checked Google Play and it shows as installed. Did you ever find out what is going on?

Hello.
I was having trouble with the facebook notifications not working in 1.5.2.
I tried to uninstall/install the app
Clear cache
Installed 1.5.0
Re-flash ROM
etc etc etc...
And nothing worked.
I logged with a friends Facebook account in my Captivate and Push notifications were working !!
I re-logged to with my account and notifications still not working, so WTF?
So I started to mess around with the Facebook settings, privacy etc, and nothing helped to receive push notifications...
Until I deactivated my account and re-activated, and now I have notifications back! Is like a hidden setting in facebook that tells if push notifications are enable/disable, and after re-activating my account in some way is restores it, no idea but is working now...
If you have this problem, give it a try!
To deactivate: Account->Account Settings->Deactivate Account
To Activate: just log in.
Best Regards
Trying it now ... I've tried everything else... hope this works ...
EDIT: HOLY MONKEYS BATMAN IT WORKED! I'VE HAD MY DINC FOR 7 MONTHS NOW, WITH PROBABLY 12 DIFFERENT ROMS, AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IT HAS EVER EVER WORKED! Thankyou!
Details:
I just flashed the newest version of Magnolia with Clockwork 3.x. Clean slate wipe (other than sd).
I deleted the old version of fb that came with the rom (just from the app list in settings), cleared all data from that....DID NOT set up facebook for HTC Sense when doing original setup of phone right after reflash.....
Logged onto FB from my pc, deactivated, waited until I got the email, then logged in again.
DL latest FB from the market and set it up, asked someone to comment on a status, and voila, fb started notifying me EVERY TIME someone did, not just every 30 mins like the settings show...
YAYAYAYAY!! I'm so happy now! I'm gonna pass the word along.
Thank you!
Did it work for you?
Yes - see above edited post!
Or just log in to fb, register phone and check boxes to receive SMS alerts. Faster than the 1 hour intervals.

My notifications are popping up in real-time. The only thing that goes once hourly is messages or friend requests, as far as I can tell. I'm watching my facebook on my computer and my phone alerts me nearly at the same moment my pc does.
umm... ??
deactivate my facebook account? message posted day before april fools day...
something doesnt add up
You can do that without deleting your profile. I hear of people deactivating it everytime they log off for privacy concerns. When deactivated you dont show up on any of your friends pages or searches. Just log on to reactivate, you'll get an email welcoming you back.
you dont loose anything?
Nope. Not that I know of. Check out cnn story. http://articles.cnn.com/2010-11-12/...ngs-new-facebook-facebook-accounts?_s=PM:TECH

I am not geting any notifications at all.
Can you help me?
I cant deactivate account as there is a business page attached with some development app attached.
Is there a modified app I could try?
Hi folks. I picked up a new HTC One a couple days ago. Love it!!!
One issue I have, though, is an "authentication problem" message that I'm receiving.
It happens when I go into the Gallery (when it updates).
I get an error indicator in the top left, and I receive a message that says "Authentication problem" when I drag down from the top left.
When I tap on the error message, it shows a Facebook page with an error note. If I click "okay" I then go back to a main phone/desktop screen. But the error indicator in the top left remains.
If I instead back out of the Facebook error page, I have a notification window on my screen that reads, "Authorization problem - Please authorize HTC Sense to access your Facebook account. Once your HTC Sense is authorized, you can read and post updates in People, Gallery and Calendar."
I don't know what it's looking for me to authorize or do, or where to do it. And I can only get rid of the error note in the top left corner if I restart the phone.
I'm not sure if it's related to Blinkfeed or something else. With Blinkfeed, it's not my "home screen" and I moved that Blinkfeed screen all of the way to the side and have nothing checked, so the phone is not updating anything through there. I'm not sure if it's related to this error message problem I'm having.
Please help. Thank you.
Sounds like it's Facebook authentication that it's looking for. There should be a way to turn that off. At least I hope there is.. my phone won't be here until tomorrow, but I'll be damned if I want Facebook to do anything with it until I tell it to (which is no further than installing the app).

Yeah, I'm sure there's a way to turn off whatever is causing this to happen, but: 1) I don't know why it's happening; and 2) I can't find whatever I need to do in order to stop it.
Problem solved.
From what it seems, the One's Gallery was trying to interact with Facebook and couldn't. I went into Facebook from my desktop and turned on Applications (I had it off). That seems to have done the trick.

yes facebook is requesting AUTH for access to your photos. the gallery section now will pull photos from your facebook if you have it setup. BUT if you have 3rd party access turned off everytime gallery goes to pull when you start it, it will get rejected from the facebook website which is why you were getting the AUTH issue.

I'm using the latest cm-10.1-20130730-UNOFFICIAL-tenderloin and it was freshly installed on a brand new touchpad (i had one sitting in a box for ages(
However, with everything working on it, i find that the notifications don't seem to work.
for eg, i don't get notifications when i get a new fb message or a google hangouts message.
i have to open the app and manually refresh it for it to get the new data.
any ideas on what i can do?

I would go into Settings and take a look at the Accounts. Verify sync is on for the accounts in question.
Could also go into the Apps area as well. I believe there is a show notifications box that you can check
for the two apps.

show notifications is ticked on for both apps already.
it seems that when it's in the lock screen nothing comes through, but when i unlock it, i get a mass of notifications all at once.
almost seems like it's blocking data when the screen is locked but i can't find any power profiles etc to fix this...
any ideas?

Alot of devices and ROMS will have Wifi turn off while sleeping to avoid battery drain.
Go into Advanced settings for Wi-fi and adjust the Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep setting.
Whenever I click on a Name on the facebook the page does not open. The click is registered but the page does not open. The behavior seems random as at times the page opens immediately. Sometimes I have to long press on the name to open the page.
If I click on the pictures icons etc it open immediately.
Not sure this is a problem with the app or with the phone or if it some settings on the app.
Has anyone else faced this problem
Theres nothing wrong with your phone. My friend have a HTC same problem. Its a FB problem. Updates will come
Yeah, I've got the same behavior on my z3c as well. No problems on my N7 or Moto G. Tried the latest apk from apkmirror but that didn't solve the problem.
I gave up using the Facebook app because it's always so buggy and it eats battery. FB fixes one thing and breaks another with every update.
Here, it's the fb messenger app which crashes every couple of messages sent / received or so...
Im new to android and the N6. I have just finished transferring my text messages from my iphone to N6. Everything seemed to go smoothly, except that it would not let me delete any text messages. I then updated the messenger app as I noticed there was an update available for it. Now when I open the app, it says that it is "fetching conversations." It has been stuck at this screen for over 30 min. I have tried closing the app, restarting the device, anything I could think, but my text messages won't show up. Any advice on how I can fix this?
Thanks

Did you remove your phone number from the dumb Imessage server so it would actually work on android? Apple used to purposely cause issues when people switched.

I was trying to do this but was not able to receive the code from apple via text. Then i started having the issues with the messenger app. For whatever reason it is not able to pull up my texts. The problem, im guessing, lies within the app.
well it magically started working. I guess it just took forever to load all of my text messages from file.

I'm glad it finally started working for you. Apple likes making things a hassle from past experience. (ITunes music...)
