I was wondering if there was a working 8.1 preview for the HTC 8xt. I know they pulled the offered preview because of certain issues.
check by yourself... issues is solved (this is old story now)...
if you not registered already as developer or AppStudio go to http://appstudio.windows.com/ and sign up with your account
install Preview for Developers from store, activate updates
check for updates...
No update is offered using that method

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 friends ,
Tango update has rolled out worldwide for almost all phones.
If you have not got the update then head to this tutorial to get updates easily.
How to force Zune player to get Tango update
I got it after the third attempt and its working flawlessly. For those of you who have noticed you no longer can run hombrew apps after the update just dial *#9908# and choose "windowsbreak" and reboot that should do it.
Will it work for Samsung focus (1st gen phone)?
just wanted to add that i was able to upgrade my Focus S this morning. It put me through a series of 3 updates to get to build 7.10.8112.7
So in perusing my apps in the Play Store the other day, I noticed an app called SystemUpdates by chondong. I've never installed this app and there is no option to uninstall it.
It was created and forced into my phone on June 15.
I don't buy for one second that this is a system update app as the phone had the ability to search for and receive OTA updates prior to this being installed. The only description in English says "Update update the internal system of the application" (yes, it says update twice).
This is a Chinese phone and I'm very skeptical of what this app is.
Permissions are intrusive as well; see screenshots.
Any thoughts on this? Reading the feedback on the app, I'm not the only one concerned about this and it appears it doesn't only apply to ZTE, but other Chinese phones as well.
Let's keep this thread alive until someone can answer...
I just noticed the same app on my Axon A1R. One difference though - mine says it is produced by ZZte.
I have no idea when the app was installed (for sure less than 3 weeks ago - I know I went though all my apps because I was having WiFi issues and wanted to make sure it wasn't caused by a random app I'd downloaded). There is no way to uninstall it. I managed to disable it - but that just made the 'System updates' section disappear in the Settings>About Phone menu.
I'm starting to think that installing a mod OS published by some random person might be safer than using the Google approved, ZTE modified and FIDO distributed OS.

It looks to me that you need to do a factory reset, and discontinue installing non-play store apps.
If you did indeed get it from the Play Store, then report it to Google, so it won't be there anymore.
But I find it really hard to believe it came from the Play Store, as Google does a lot of testing of new apps.
I'm seeing update to 604 OTA on my brand new Remix mini but I had read that the new releases remove Google mobile services, basically ruining a huge reason people buy this device. If I want to continue using Google mobile services should I just stick with the stock ROM and work with the limitations and the various bug fixes?
Wow that was several updates ago. The mini still has Google Services. It was only removed to overlay some ground work and to finish talks with Google. If it does disappear after you update, just go to the Remix Central app to download the service back onto the mini.

Thxx Amora, that's what I thought but I'm on the device right now and there is a big pop up warning on the 604 update that says if you agree to this update, Google Play services and all your apps will be disabled and removed. You can choose not to upgrade and continue using these services.
I assume this is an error in the warning from what you are stating. I'm updating it despite the warning and will see.
So just to confirm, this device still has Play Store / GAPPS? They have a 40% off special and I want one.
The process of rooting the device is still a bit unpleasant, and as such I can't tweak options and patches to get APKs working. I'd rather have the Play Store outright.

Yes. The remix can still use Google apps. You just have to install Google services and the apps yourself instead of having them come pre-loaded now.
And as is often the case with hardware, the box will come with an old version of the os installed. The first time you hook it up it will check for updates and you will get the warning since you are moving from a factory version of the os which has the apps installed to a new version which does not.
Once the update completes, open the remix central app from the drawer (or desktop if you have a shortcut there) and scroll the bottom to find Google services installer. Download and follow the instructions, and when it tells you to - reboot. Once that's done open the "app store" app (also in app drawer) and install/update Google play (handy dandy search in the top right) and the icon will reappear on your desktop/in the app drawer if for some reason it vanished in the first place.
Note if you previously set up settings/accounts - you will need to do it again (so you have to give the store your Google account again as this was wiped out during the update).
My mum uses a 735 as she finds its easier to use than android, but i'm her tech support (i always use android) so i just bought a 735 from ebay just so i can talk my mum through how to do things if she's stuck (she's 81)
I'm having trouble signing in to my hotmail account on the phone, it seems like it's not finding any server to connect to.
Is it only the store & support that finished?
I should still be able to log into my HM account on the phone?
Sorry, but Windows Phone 8.1's support has officially ended since 2018 (I think), and has finally plugged out its services since December 2019. The only option is to either upgrade to Windows 10 Mobile or switch to another os. If you can't due to some various and valid reasons, you can try unlocking the phone for dev use (dev unlock) and deploy xap/appx/appxbundle files of apps you like to install... But that includes luck if someone else has that. (I don't want to promote piracy, but you need pirated/cracked xap/appx files in order to deploy them without error)
If you just wanted to add an email provider, use the "advanced setup" option in settings > email+accounts.
Unless someone has finally found the solution for WP 8.1 without upgrading to Windows 10 to install apps from the Store, you have to rely on finding deploying app files in the Internet.
