Hi everyone
Yesterday rooted my phone using the one click root program on Mac.
Rooting and later on installing Titanium Backup and ROM manager went smoothly. Made backups as well.
However this morning I noticed something peculiar.
Clicking my phone from standby, I saw the browser opened with a site I don't know and not visited before and a pop up if I want to continu with loading the digital/SSL certificate. In the afternoon for a second time again, but this time a known site.
Checked google if such a malware exist on Android. And whether it is possible to set a root password in android. But both questions were not answered positively yet.
Have any one of you seen such a behaviour before?
did you install any illegal software in the phone?
as in those full copies of software not from Android Market?
not that I am aware of.
Most of them were from Android Market.
it is very suspicious that issue popped up after rooting.
I removed all apps that got default root access.
Will report again if issue reappears.
most people visiting this forum have their SGS rooted, and i've not read about this sort of weird issues until now.
myself included.
it'll be good to find out what is causing you to have those random pop ups of websites.
did you install VNC server or something similar by any chance?
That Security warning seems to be Browser bugs.. It pop up on my Nexus one after official Android 2-1 update1 and Android 2.2(Froyo ) update.(OTA).
=> All update are done with files from Google server direct.
Likewise the same happened after updating Galaxy S with the new FW..
Along the way, during update, the digital signature get messed..??
Hi guys...
I have been searching the web for solution for 2 days but can't seems to get it to work..
I am trying to download my previously purchased app(root explorer) after a complete wipe of my phone, in market, it shown purchased, but whenever I click to installed, a message "download of "root explorer" declined.
Please help...
I'm getting the same issue on my HTC Thunderbolt. I've noticed that once I purchased the item I never recieved a confirmation email from Google...
I'm getting this error with SetCPU
does that means I won't be able to re-download or even re-purchase my previously purchased apps anymore?!
OMG!!!
Strange
I have always received a confirmation of purchase.
We have to wait a few minutes that the server is updated
i have the same issue with a game
Recently, my Note has been unable to purchase new Market apps. Once I find the app in the Market, upon clicking the purchase button I usually get an error like "unable to find the app." Sometimes I've gotten another error like "unable to purchase now." Since I'd already purchased a lot of apps for my S2, they all installed on my Note, no problem, since they show as already purchased. So I haven't had much need to purchase new stuff for the Note. Today, though, I installed trials for a few apps. Since I liked them, I went to purchase keys for each, but got this "not found" b.s. after clicking the price button. Three times seemed pretty suspicious, so I moved my sim card back from the Note to the S2 (in case that makes a difference), and I successfully purchased all three keys from the S2 in the normal way.
I should mention that my Note couldn't find one of the keys using Market search, so I had to scan the QR code from AppBrain, which then found it. My S2 didn't require such assistance. I've actually had that problem before, but the QR search always worked around the problem.
I need to use Market Enabler from my location, and as far as I can tell it's configured on my Note exactly the same way as my S2.
In fact, I had the same problem a couple of days ago with TrevE's Logging TestApp, but the next day it was able to purchase from the Note.
Is there anyone else experiencing similar inexplicable purchasing weirdness with their Note? Or any suggestions as to how to get my Note working properly with the Market?
I know that the Android Market itself has been giving some trouble recently during the 10 Billion promotion... So it might be that.
For example, right now, I'm able to purchase Smart Task Switcher Pro key on my S2, while at the same time I'm unable to purchase it from my Note. So it seems to be a Note issue and not a Market issue. And it's only with paid apps.
What's worse, even though I purchased it for my S2, it shows as unpurchased on my Note, so I have no way of getting this app on my Note.
Same here, it's my first android phone where I can't purchase apps even with the help of market enabler...
I can find the apps, but the market says "You can't buy this app in your country".
I tried everything, proxy servers, vpn servers, airplane mode, nothing works.
I'm screwed

My problem's different: I'm able to purchase plenty of apps, and Market Enabler is verified working for me for a long time. I never get the error "You can't buy this app in your country." I get this error message: "The item you were attempting to purchase could not be found."
In your case, you've never verified that you have a correct configuration for Market Enabler. Of course, you first rooted your phone, right? Otherwise, Market Enabler won't work.

Yes of course I'm rooted and I used market enabler for a couple years and across different android phones and it always worked before. Maybe it's the new market...
Just like you I find the app, click on purchase button, and then get this country message even though I'm on a US proxy or vpn, with market enabler set on a US carrier.
We don't have the same error message, but the end result is the same, we can't buy apps.
The first time I had an error it said something like: the country where you registered your phone doesn't allow you to purchase applications.
It looks like if at one time or another the system knows you are not in the right country, then you are on some sort of black list or something like that. Then you can do everything you want, it does not matter because your account is flagged !!!
Just a theory... I hope I'm wrong, because otherwise we are screwed big time.
So, it's only your Note that fails? That is my problem. Up till now, I've gotten around it by purchasing from my S2, then installing the already purchased app on my Note. But with this one app (Smart Task Switcher), it just won't install on the Note. I emailed the developer. But yes, if we can't use the Market from our Notes with Market Enabler, that's depressing. And there won't be any help from places that don't need Market Enabler.
I found a workaround:
Freeze Android Market 1.0 with Titanium so the market doesn't update itself, uninstall market updates, I can now buy apps !!!
With Market Enabler of course...
Oh yeah, I seem to remember that solution from a while back when they updated the Market app. As I recall, I reverted to 1.0, and then did the updates again, and then it worked.
In any case, I don't think you can be 100% sure what worked for you because suddenly yesterday I was able to purchase that app that was being reported as "not found" after I'd click the "$2.49" button. When I finally purchased it, Market now reported some kind of payment irregularity, but then the app downloaded and installed. When I see my bill, I'll know if the payment was processed correctly. I've had this same b.s. before where I find an app, click to buy, and then get a "not found" reported, but it never before stretched on for days.
Even with uninstalling updates I get the "The item you were attempting to purchase could not be found".
I am rooted and use marketenabler.

My latest workaround is to do:
Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Market>Uninstall updates
and then immediately complete the purchase. This seems to reenable Market Enabler just long enough to purchase. I can't seem to figure out how to prevent Market from updating, but at least purchases are enabled long enough for me to complete them.

Tried that but then there are no paid apps only free ones then a few minutes later our reverts back to the latest version.
i don't know about buying apps as I get something new every two months or so, but Market 3.4.4 and the earlier version are taking a really long time to load, or it sometimes just hangs. I'm on LA4 but had the same issue when I was on KL7.
Oh and market enabler hasn't been working for quite a while too, on both my Note and NookColor, even when paired with Market 2.XX. Not sure what has happened!

Yeah, this Market Enabler situation is really messing us up. I don't know why what worked for me worked for me, and there's no telling when my workaround will quit working. I wonder why Android phones are so popular in Market-disabled countries. Since the average person doesn't even root their phone, they buy these Android phones with no intention of ever getting the best apps for it.
Here's how i manage to buy paid apps on my Note:
Go to Google Play on PC,sign in,buy the required app,go to market on Note,install the app(the download link will be active n available after payment thru PC).btw,i use VPN to change the IP location on my PC(to USA or Canada)...
Hi
Up until yesterday, apps, whether paid or free would download fine on my device. Nothing has changed my end, but today, paid apps will no longer download (free apps download fine). There are two issues, the authorising payment page takes eons (used to be instant), and the phone sits on the 'starting download' or 'downloading...' pages for ever without ever actually downloading the app that I have paid for. Issue is present whether I initiate the download from the phone or from a PC.
Obviously, this makes the phone next to useless. I have no time to wipe/re-install the phone - especially since this may not even fix the issue!
I can find no 'report an issue' link at google's market to get support on this issue. The apps purchased are past the refund window.
I have tried all the various fixes I found on google (start google talk, kill cache/app settings for market and downloader), try another internet connection, restart phone blah blah, nothing has worked.
Anyone got any suggestions?
Nigel
Paid apps that had previously been installed and then removed will re-install fine... I can only assume that its the authorisation thats failing (nothing wrong with any of the cards on my google wallet account).
Nigel
Go to setting - application - manage - All - market - clear cache n Data
do same for talk (google talk)
first login to talk then market
In market application - check setting - accout - Fix default if you have multiple acc
Hi
As mentioned in my original post. I already tried that. I just tried it again with the same result.
After having done the above, I tried to buy the app from my PC, Got the following message 'Your order is still being processed. Your item will become available as soon as your order is complete. If you'd like, you can check your order status at anytime.' which is not the norm. Clicking the link within the message takes me to the transaction in google wallet which is listed as 'complete' unfortunately, the download does not auto-start (like it used to) on the phone, and when I force it to manually start, It goes to the 'starting download...' message. The app never does download, market app just displays this message forever more until I go and 'clear data' for the market app.
I give up! Looks like I am stuck with what I have on the phone + whatever I can get for free.
Have emailed google, will update thread should they bother to respond.
Market version is 3.4.4 | Download Manager is 2.3.5
Have you vosited web version of market?
Market.android.com login with google acc.
You will see your purchased appl there, if u can see there, click on install from there, it will start installing to ur device remotely
Try it
Hi
Yep, tried that - does not work. I can initiate the installation of free apps from the market on a pc, but not paid apps. The paid app I am trying to install is listed as having been successfully purchased. Looks like a bug/glitch, but one I am going to have to wait for google to fix.
Do you have the Amazon app market installed?

This issue seems to be with KL3 onwards and region or could be csc dependent, the only fix for this is to use the older market version the 2.6.x
try going into recovery mode and choose fix permission
Hi
Well, I got an auto response from google 'we are looking into it', but no emails since. Tried again this morning, and everything just started working again. Whether this was an issue with the market, my market account, my google wallet account etc is unknown.
I'd like to know the reason so I can fix it if it happens again, but at least its now working again.
@ericshmerick: Nope, no amazon app market. I don't believe this works in the UK
Nigel
The exact same thing is happening to me were you able to eventually get the apps you purchased its been about two days and the problem persists I have filed a support case with Google happening on two phones and a tablet ans the web market through a PC isn't working either. It seems to get stuck at authorizing the payment .

This was a big problem two weeks ago. I think the CheckROM guys figured out how to fix it. Their forum has a nice FAQ at the start. Have a look there. If that doesn't help then wade through the Rocket forum.

Had the Att variant (N920A) for about a month now when all of a sudden MMS stopped working. If I send a pic message the picture disappears as soon as I hit send and the other party never receives anything from me. If I receive an mms I get the download box that when pressed will never actually download.
I work for Att, so I tested my Sim in another note 5 and everything works fine, so I know it's just gonna be a factory reset to sort the issue out.
Grabbed Uninstaller Pro to wipe all the unneeded apps before I run a full backup with helium so I don't have to bother setting my phone up again.
When I first ran Uninstaller pro I noticed a lot ( like hundreds ) of third-party apps that are highlighted in red that show as frozen. I know for a fact I haven't frozen any apps myself, with Uninstaller pro or any other app for that matter. Also some of the apps have strange names that I don't recognize at all. (I'll list a few on a screen shot, maybe someone can identify something). Uninstaller Pro will not allow me to unfreeze them, I only have the option to Uninstaller them or reset them, but I'm reluctant to mess with apps I don't recognize.
My question is how can these apps be frozen without my doing so, why can't I unfreeze them, why are they there in the first place, and could this maybe be the cause of the mms issue?
For the record I've run through all the usual troubleshooting for mms issues. Apn settings are correct, ad block isnt/has never been installed. MMS is enabled on the messaging app, and I've tried several third party messaging apps to no avail.
Google Drive link to a folder with a few shots of the frozen apps: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B24oiB-uu3o5Ulp1WmxtckhCU1k
This is a very small fraction of the total amount of frozen apps. Each group of apps has the same name for the first part of the filename with about 50 entries that have different endings. Ballpark is probably about 450 total frozen entries.
Thanks in advance for an insight on the matter

Looks mostly like bloat. I do not know for sure though. Maybe someone in the AT&T Note 5 section of XDA can be of more help. Take it to a Best Buy and ask them to flash your firmware for you or if you work at an AT&T store maybe have it done there. I am not sure if Smart Switch supports the A variant. Either way, good luck.
