Unwanted Pop-up ads on my Z1 - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there
I am hoping someone can assist and perhaps have had the same experience I am currently facing on my Z1 phone. Every now and again I am faced with these pop-up ads and I am not sure where it comes from. I have tried Ad searching tools in the market but it doesn't find anything.
Perhaps it gets pushed over the air, but I would like to find out what is doing it...i want it disabled.
Here are some screenshots:

Coming to think of it, perhaps it is BBM for Android?

Have u got Blackmarket installed?

Install Airpush Detector, run it and it will tell you which one of the free apps on your phone is sending you push notifications. Then delete that app.

Airpush didn't detect anything. It happened again and when I look at the running tasks, it says it is 'Android'. I don't have black market installed either.

I had the same popup in the beginning only it was from whattsapp.
Tryin to remember when i got them....
Have u tried rooting with VRoot?

Will vroot work for a locked boot loader?

It will if you are on 534.
Anyway, there's an app installed on your phone that names itself as android and it's a fake app.
Try searching in the apps list for anything you suspect that might be it.

No root needed. When u get another of those popups, just pull down the notification bar and keep pressing on that BBM ad message. You should then click on "app info" and from there uninstall it.Proven to work for many!

After 253 FW update -NFC updates on boot but fails every time - screen shots included

Today I upgraded my FW to version .253 using PCC.
When I boot the device I get this screen:

}
In danish it says:
'Updating NFC firmware - please wait'.
After a short while I get this screen:
In danish it says:
'Updating NFC firmware - FAILED (000006)'.
I am on stock ROM. Unlocked bootloader. Not rooted. I upgraded from .350, was rooted and had CWM recovery. I upgraded via PCC.
I cannot enable NFC. As soon as I tick the enable NFC box, it gets deticked again.
Can anyone explain why this happens and what I can do to remedy the situation?

It's not very obvious that the two issues are related as the OP in the thread that you are linking to does not mention anything about updating problems and error messages.
Actually, the only thing my thread and the thread you are linking to have in common, is that they are both about NFC problems.
However, I will try to re-flash via. PCC.

not related? read all the comments. If a new thread is needed for every single tiny bit of each section of the problem, the entire Q&A section will be flooded by the same topic.
Its like going to the samsung section, going there is just making my head hurts.

2nd? count how many same/related threads were posted each and every day after the .253 was released.
I had the same problem.
Put 2&2 together and thought I would try the fix for the other NFC problem as I also tried turning NFC on and it wouldn't. Hey presto it worked.

Had the same NFC Update Problem.
I made the "Software Repair" (?)
whith PC Companion and now it works.
But don't forget, it will wipe Your internal SC, make an backup before... :thumbup:
With root you would be able to solve this problem by deleting data/usf folder.

If you have a rooted device, go to /data/app maybe some file is left from the last time you downloaded it. At least, that's what the usual solution is for me
Clear your cache/history. If you are rooted there are some good cleaners I use SD maid which is very good and free from play store or here in xda.
Just search forum or use Google to find it

Try clearing the cache of your google play store - services by going to Settings -> Apps -> Find Google Play Store and click it -> Clear Data - Clear Cache -> Reboot
Do the same for Google Play Services(not sure if it is needed but try it )

I've done that for both and force stopped and re started each app as well as re starting several times. Ive also cleared all caches on the device. I've used several diff software to make sure i have my full 2 gigs empty and i do, im gonna try again right now and ill see what happens
so I've tried everything and i still have 2.1gigs of free space but it won't let me install some stuff, what should i do? should i just side load my apps?

If you want to do this yourselves.
1st Download and install xposed framework installer to your phone (root needed)
Get it here
Check framework is the latest in framework
.Then in download section of xposed framework search for resflux and install
Or get it here
Then in modules section of xposed enable resflux and reboot
Open reflux and select laboratory
Then click the app you want nodded
Then simply use the up to select and change texts. Colours back rounds etc.
Then to apply . Press back and reboot
Use only png images for back rounds
IL give a more detailed guide when I get to my pc.
Has anyone tried this yet? I just tried and i changed colors of alot of things in gear manager on phone and rebooged has in still phone this same.When i went back into theming app the colors where still changed to what i changed them to but in gear manager they didnt change.I have it checked in exposed so that isnt the problem.Do you need to clear cache of gear manager or whatever app your trying to theme? It seems like a good app if it works rite.
So i just looked on the developers page and it was confirmed working on a few devices and alot of stock roms.I have galaxy s4 with hyperdrive rom so maybe it doesnt work on my phone.
No no. Ita not the app or phone. You mustnt have changed the right thing when going to look for it. Its Quite tricky . Trial and error will help you perfecr it

Practical experience is the best lesson: Why don't you give us a typical example with screenshots how you, for example changed background color. Assume that being the easiest to do and good start...Thanks!

Just got answered from the dev fot All In One Gesture app and menu key is just for ROOTED devices. Again NON ROOTED ways, plssssss.
Stop posting for rooted solutions. I know u can do it with root. But I dont want to root, since Im intended to use Samung Pay when its aviable.

I've never seen an app that can add menu key without root. If your worried about Samsung pay may I suggest pingpong root.
Otherwise good luck getting an app to do the impossible.
All in One Gestures Menu doesn't even work with Root. Just pick "Menu" and try it, it won't work.

Accidently removed huawei dialer

Hi everyone,
i wanted to remove duplicate apps like com.android.google.contacts and com.android.contacts (same for calendar) thanks to EMUI.
I did it with adb following guides from the xda-forum.
Afterwards i realized my telephone-app / dialer was gone and i can't find a working apk of a google dialer.
Can someone provide me the official emui dialer apk or help out on another way?
Thanks guys!
first of all, you can flash stock rom to get everything back.... 2nd why not freezes the apps rather then delete them?
how does freezing the app work? I wanted to get rid of the double icons in my apps-drawer...

If you have titanium backup you can basically disable/freeze any app.
ok i will try this next time. nobody can help me with the apk-file?

Because its in the playstore so why would you need an APK? and is google really that hard?

Well titanium backup kan freeze a app when youi have root but you need to do it in ADB if you dont have root.
if you're rooted with magisk, download and install google framework module. It'll allow you to install google phone app directly from playstore.
@aederson, Extract the contents of this zip folder to system/priv-app/Contacts. You will probably need to recreate the Contacts folder. After reboot you should have your dialer back if that is all that was deleted. The dialer is part of the contacts APK so you need it installed to keep the stock dialer. Please hit thanks if this works.
If you are not rooted you may be out of luck aside from performing a system recovery. You can uninstall system apps via adb without root but I haven't found a method of putting them back yet that doesn't require su privilege.
many thanks saskatoon. Same problem here. I think the last option is the factory reset .... or root...
