A few days ago I noticed something annoying on my phone.
It opens a random app (guess it's just advertising for the app itself..) from the play store, when I unlock my phone. This doesn't happen everytime, but like every 10th Unlock there's this application (Clumsy Ninja) opening up in the play store by itself !
I had that once on my one mini, but I removed an application (it wasnt in the app drawer, but in settings-->apps-->all apps.) Afterwards it was working perfectly.
Now I can't seem to find the application that annoys me..! Is there any detector or something for that..?
Anyone else experienced the same issue and knows how to help ?

[Q] Random "Free Music" app appeared on my touchpad in place of Google Play Store
My Touchpad was charging today and I just went to check on it. I unlocked the device and sitting right where the Google Play Store app shortcut used to be on my homescreen was an app called "Free Music" and it had the old itunes icon. I accidentally clicked on it as I was trying to long press it and remove it from my homescreen. It launched the Google play store as if the real app shortcut was there. After I removed it from my homescreen I checked the app drawer and did not see the app.
I am running CM 9 Alpha 2. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there malware on my TP, or a Virus? Any help is appreciated. Thanks
Me too
I havent checked my touchpad with CM9A2, but my Acer Iconia with CM9-ported had this appear too.
I did not have this 3/8 afternoon, and had my tablet off yesterday night 3/8, and turned it on today 3/9, and it appeared shortly after.
Very strange and suspicious to have an itunes logo-ed shortcut "self-install"
Hope some more people can shed some insight into this.
Are we android user's getting hacked/compromised? (beyond what Google is already sucking off our tablets)
Whew
Okay, at least someone else had this happen. Now we just need to figure out what it is. Did you notice anything else funky? I couldn't find anything else that was weird, however I noticed this weird chinese app all the way in the bottom of my "All" apps list and I have since disabled it out of caution. Let me know if you have this app.
Did you just remove the app from the homescreen or open it also like I did? I really can't think of any app I installed that could have done this except one. This "watch TV" app, that I also uninstalled since just in case. I hope someone can explain this to us.
I just removed it from the homescreen (luckily did not click it to open by accident)
I dont have any Chinese/Foreign language apps on my All Apps.
I also dont have that "Watch TV" app.

I got a response from the Iconia forum, and I found my Pin to Pintrest App that allowed push installs. Do you have the same app?
Interesting
I don't have that app, but it could have been a different app that had the same type of air install thing. I uninstalled a bunch of apps that I didn't use that much, one of them might have had this feature enabled. Ill download that detector and see if any app on my tablet has that.
Thanks
After successfully rooting my GT-i8190 via vroot, I changed the Chinese version of Superuser to Supersu with no problems. However, I noticed another Chinese app on my phone that I cannot get rid off. It appears to be a Chinese version of Google Play... I keep getting notifications on my phone telling me to update my apps and when I click on them, it takes me to the familiar 'installed apps' section of the Play Store - all in Chinese.
I've tried deleting the app itself from my apps menu by dragging it to the 'remove' trash bin but nothing happens... It stays in my apps. I also tried going into the normal Google Play Store and finding it under 'My Apps' there, but it doesn't appear.
Does anyone know anything about this app? I haven't found any info on it while searching the forums, just the Chinese Superuser app. Should I freeze the app?
Here are a couple screenshots of what I'm encountering:
Update: I should have tried this before, but it slipped my mind. I believe I have solved the issue. I went into application manager and forced the app to stop and waited to see if there were any issues. There were none. I uninstalled it from there and all seems to be well.
First day with the new phone.... It apparently happened while she was at work so I don't know much more than that. She said she turned her screen on and there was a fullscreen red and yellow golden arches and it said something about downloading the app....
No ideas here.....there really aren't many apps installed. Any way to tell what app could be responsible? Pop ups are turned off in Chrome.

Definitely nothing stock. Go to the play store, my apps, check for sketchy stuff: Free wallpapers, music, cheesy games.. You know the drill.
Do you use Greader? That's been giving me weird pop-ups all of a sudden.
Hi,
since the last update to 5.0.1 I'm experiencing problems when running apps on the watch. For example the integrated stopwatch or the heart rate monitor. Both apps shortly appear but then disappear immediately. The screen is then kind of "locked" on the watch face and can be freed by using the hardware button.
I had this problem with a app I wrote myself, too. I saw that the app actually crashes after a while because the onStart/onStop functions are not called in the right order. This sounds like a serious bug to me which is not related to my app. It also does not happen with 4.4W2. Then I found that the internal apps show a very similar behaviour like I wrote above.
Resetting the device did not help.
Anyone else having this problem?
Same Behavior

Yes, I can confirm that I had the same problem yesterday. Uninstalled all third party watchfaces but no success. Then suddenly I saw a message on the watch that google play services crashed. After that the problem was gone and did not come back. I now the description does not really help, but it confirms at least that you are not the only one with that problem.
