Hey XDA team,
It's been awhile since I went back into rooting my smartphones. The last device that I had successfully rooted (a few times) was Samsung Galaxy SIII and I was obsessed with CyanogenMod for awhile before One UI reached a stable point.
And as for now, My gut feeling is screaming as though my phone(s) has been hijacked for some reason. I don't feel safe browsing through it, and even for simple voice notes, sometimes I hear people talking in the background.
I'm not sure whether people would like to cover their tracks by labelling it as another deluded paranoia attack, but just to feel safe, I would really like to be redirected to a tool which would allow me to be browse and share photos with ease.
If you have any other tips regarding whether there is a spyware on the phone, please let me know kindly. TQ

p.s. start running.
I wonder if we put this cream all over those devices that we had bricked, if they will come back to life, at least on bootloader mode......mmmmmmm....
That will be the solution for: "my deviced had bricked, need help" and save a lot of useless new threads.
As long as the phone don't try to take a bite off my ear I'm willing to try....

No silly! phones don't have teeth! at least most. And yes it works on phones too, though I would recommend to not try it on your car. It worked but a few hours later it started talking and then tried to run me over. For some reason I always pictured it with a voice like KITT, but it was just an evil voice.
ha ha herby goes bananas
Oh god! They've infected the economy! That explains everything!!!

I am trying to get hold of different names for people within this great Android Community.
So I am wondering how you call yourself.
Here is something that came in my mind when i tried to make groups to put people in.
Theoretically its made to understand what people want, what they do and why they do it.
Group: Consumer, Fanboy, Fan, Modder, Developper, Blogger, Hacker, Cracker, Trader, Dealer, Moderator, Administrator, Programmer, Technician
Motivation: Fun, need telephone, organizing life/job, i love/beeing interested in programming, modding, and so on, beeing part of a great community
So, where do you place yourself and why are you here?
Thanks for replying !
Droid Boy
PS Oh btw i am here because i love to share experience with devices, technical objects of all sort, also try to understand whats going on in our community
Hmmm...Let's see...
I would put myself in the Modder group, and motivation is that I find it fun/interesting and I'm interested in programming.
Plus, the community is great
I don't really ever "call myself" but if I did I think I would say "Hello?"

I suppose you can group me under joker, wacky, etc.
I've always been a moderator on two different websites so that's what I call myself.

Yesterday i noticed that a process was going wild and i could't find it in the system and therefore i could not kill it. You can read more about it in this thread.
As you can read in the other thread i managed to fix it, but that's not the end of the story. There's a new parasite in town:

The funny part this time is that i deleted Watchdog yesterday, and it has manifestet itself into a battery sucking "thing" while i have been sleeping. I managed to make it go towards the light with an exorcist aka ROM Manager today, but i think it's strange that this happens, and i certainly do not understand why it happens.
Any thoughts? And yes, i think it's appropriate to post this here this time since i'm not really interested in the science behind this but some typical off-topic fun. Is this the spirit of the dog in watchdog? Is it still protecting me from evil spirits (malware), or was it only here to steal my power?
I know this doesn't help you... But what app us that? The one you took a screenshot of?

Meh. I've had "ghost processes" before. Tell it firmly but kindly to go into the light...DL a new ROM (or reinstall the old one) a do a clean install...ghost dog gone...
Silly people are silly.

That's the stock MIUI battery monitor
Heyo everybody, I'm new here, and I've got a typical newbie question to go with that!
I'd like to apologize if this was asked before (no doubt it has), I just wish for more personalized answers and the ability to ask more questions if need be without having to necro.
Alright allow me to jump straight to it: I bought one of them cursed AT&T S5 phones, and as I reside outside the US and don't have an AT&T SIM card, I can't update to the latest Android OS via "OTA" or even Kies (what a plague that software is...).
I've tried searching around these forums for a solution to my "problem", but in NO WAY do I consider myself an expert or do I believe I can achieve my goal alone. Had that been a secondary phone or some cheap stuff, I'd have experimented like a mad dog, but I've just purchased this baby.
So, as I said, I've done my research here, real quick, and I stumbled upon this, which if I was a stubborn fool would be the first thing I'd do. Fortunately and unfortunately, as I am totally NOT familiar with the whole lingo (Now what the heck is NCE), minus a few abbreviations I've deduced and searched for, I haven't done anything yet.
What I want:
-To be able to update my phone to the latest version via "legit" means (OTA/Kies?),
-To have the ability to further update my phone, should new ones be made available.
What I don't care about:
-Rooting my phone in the future, I have no interest in that whatsoever.
What I do care about:
-Maintaining the integrity of my phone, in that I wish to have clean software comparable or equal to stock material. (Proper stock, not AT&T stock if that's even possible).
My phone's info, if need be.

Thanks for reading/helping, and my apologies again for... y'know, stuff.
I am very excited. I really think it's a special phone, at least from a first glance. The phones that Samsung, Apple, LG, and others put out year after year are all.. carbon copies of one another. I always choose an outsider if I have the option for anything outside of the mainstream - you know, especially if everyone has it.
I had HTC m8 when Samsung ruled Android all alone. Than I opted for OnePlus when I broke my HTC.. because, why not right? Cheap, and as good as the twice as expensive ones.
Anyway!!
That was probably the main reason I decided to go with Pixel. On top of guarantee of getting new Android OS probably before anyone else, I also like the lack of a company skin, and bloatware. I mean root does take care of that but you shouldn't need to root to get rid of apps from a device that you OWN.
When I get it, hoping the order process goes without a hitch, I will write my first impressions here.

I didn't spend much time on the forum but from a few reviews I read.. it seems pretty mixed. Some hate it, others love it. Care to enlighten me, please?
Greatly appreciate any effort to that question..
Cheers, Amer
