do you install any mod?

This is not stock and I think you don't remember what you installing on your phone.

wow thanks for the quick reply guys but i did not in anyway try to root or unlock the bootloader of the ph. from what i understand is required to mod it +1 to both of u
so yh i dont think i installed a mod and i dnt also it fixes itself at times if i restart the ph.

Try restoring the phone through sus? See if that works

It is Xperia XAlert. If you have already granted it device admin rights, there is nothing you can do. Try to uninstall it and see. Or Open it and see if you remember the password so that you can disable it.

ok this man is a hero i will build statues in ur glory and people will remember the name Beautyspin for centuries forth!
anyway this is how i fixed it
i force restarted the ph. then downloaded a task manager and force closed x alert then i was able to access my settings from which i followed these steps
App is good for security but once you activate it and enable password for applications it gives you really bad annoying experience. To fix the issue, please do following:
If you have Screen lock = Pattern then you need to change it to PIN
Go to Settings => Security => Device Administrator and untick X - Alert for XPERIA
Now go to Settings => Apps => All = Select X - Alert for XPERIA
Click on Force Stop and do Clear Cache

Number Selector (My First App) and a flashlite app and a couple others too now lol

Ok I changed this to have a few of my first apps in it including some I thought was not worth putting in at first like a flashlight app makes you screen bright white so that you can use your phone as a mini flash lite in dark rooms, and you double click teh screen to exit right the app cause it runs in fullscreen, right now now it doesn't change your backlight level, but it still helps. also there is a number selector, you can decide a minamum number and a max number and it will pick a random number in beetweens thse when you click the button on the window, and also a test to see how fast you can tap the screen lol
Even though I had absolutely no problems and dont think it is even possible for something like this to do any damage to a phone I am not responsible for anything I just made this app because I like xda and want to help as much as I can.
btw I really would appreciate feedback
I will try to post more pics later for the new programs I forgot to take them

It won't show up right if you're in landscape mode. So make sure your keyboard is closed. If not then Reboot. If not, Wipe + Reflash.

Solved?
Report the thread to a mod so that it can be closed (red triangle next to #1) and maybe go edit, advanced and edit the title so that it says "SOLVED" or "FIXED" so that everyone knows.
Thanks!

[Q] Strange problem: Solved!

Hey guys,
I posted a query in the Philz forum as well regarding this, however, since I've moved on to the hydracore v5.4, I thought I might post it here, too.
I'm on stock ICS with hydracore v5.4 now (having changed from speedmod k13 to Philz cwm6 v2.7 to hydracore). All my websites including facebook are talking to me; I just cannot disable these voice prompts! I checked the "talkback," "explore by touch," and the "drive mode," none of which is checked... what seems to be the issue? The whole problem began when I changed to Philz kernel; I even did a couple of hard resets... :crying: Please help.
check any specific app that is causing this problem.. nothing related to kernel
Light Flow or Tasker.

Along with others, I've NoLED, Voice talk, notification launcher and beats audio running... do you think any of these are causing it? sorry, a noob here
disable voice talk
as in click on it and do a STOP
Try this
Settings, Lanuage & Input, Text-to-speech Output, Driving Mode - untick
or you can double click Home button then when you get to the Voice Talk screen turn off the Driving Mode car button

No just using the hard keys... was that wrong?

Yes... didn't lose any system apps, just the ones that I had downloaded. Apparently, the problem was NoLED as once I uninstalled it and rebooted the phone, it has so far not talked to me! Good grief :victory: Thanks you for all your help and patience!

[Q] (Solved) No Auto Sync / Gtalk and FB won't work over mobile network

Dear XDA Devs..
I am facing an issue since 2 weeks with my galaxy note (GT-N7000). Below are the details and looking for a help!
This is had happened since the latest update which had pushed from Samsung with the UI look of Galaxy S3 of ICS 4.0.4. Before that I didn't face any sync issues.
Now, the actual issue is when I am on my Vodafone mobile internet only my corporate exchange mails works while other apps like Gmail, Gtalk, FB, FB messenger etc. won't work. As soon as I connect to my wi-fi at home or any other place, I start getting all the FB alerts, Gtalk offline messages and everything. I guess corporate exchange mails are working as sync schedule is push..
I have done resetting my phone, tried to see few options like trail and error in Accounts & Sync etc. but of vain! I am too much got fed up.. before this, tried auto sync options but none of them seems to be working..
I am at first place not able to understand why is the auto sync and background data options in ICS are removed.. :crying:
I request members to support me resolve my issue or suggest a app which does the work for me. I am unable to get the updates while I am out of office especially Gtalk as many people would be trying to reach me..
If you feel I missed to provide any info, please let me know and I will do it asap...
Thanks for the help in advance.
:good:

Hey! Thanks a ton.. Let me try my luck..
Hey! Sorry for coming late and updating.. Was busy with personal and official work. I found the prob now.
It was with network where I got to know that from vodafone saying "for hihh end phonws" they need to activate package called "vodafone mobile". That was so annoying that while my other network Airtel able to recognize my mobile model and send settings accordingly, why can't vodafone by doing that while rental is '0'. Anyways thanks for all help. Sorry I forgot to update in the first instance that I moved from Airtel to Vodafone Sim in my note while still I use the Airtel, where I found this issue..

Maybe you're using wrong Apk installer, Download ES File Explorer for free from Play Store, go to the folder where is the Apk, install and try.

I guess this is the problem. I hope that you have installed screen filter apps like screen filter, filter your screen etc (yellow tint reducing apps). If you have, either disable them or uninstall them and the install button would work. Or if you don't have any apps of that sort, try a factory reset.

I think you will find they are paid for apps that you have got illegally. (Please correct me if I am wrong)
As such I will not help you (Unless you convince me you have paid for them, but I strongly suspect not)
Also, you need to remove those links, I did explicity say for you to share free apps only
And
