I don't know how to stop this but it is driving me crazy
if I get a miss call\sms\email notification
then the phone gives me a little pop up window that says
Notification error
cannot execute
\windows\paWakeup.exe
can anybody help me out
It is related to PocketMax Phone Alarm. I have never figured out why it happens - sometimes when the device boots I get the same error. It might be to do with some aspect of the notification queue being f'd up.
Uninstall PA and the problem will go away - reinstall it and it may or may not happen. sorry not to be much exact help.
Best place to look/search is the Pocketmax Support Forum
Ive seen a few threads mentioning this error. I have never run into this personally but i would recommend uninstalling the app, then reinstalling it. Rebuild your profiles instead of backing them up as it may be a profile thing?!
I am running Pa \
so I will uninstall
and let you guys know what happens thanks
that is what it was
thanks again guys
Hi,
After downloading few free applications in my hero, some pictures and ads started popping out every few seconds in my screen. Mostly pictures of the Android depiction doing some stuff like eating or visiting places like Paris and stuff. Also, some advertisement to download videos.
How can I stop this from happening? Is there a virus scanner or a spam blocker I can use?
Please help.

Can't you just go into market and uninstall the apps you added?
Failing that, connect via adb and use adb shell to remove the apk files (presuming you're rooted).
If you aren't rooted or don't know about adb, ask or search. There are antivirus things available, but I'd just remove the apps.
Also, if you find the offending app, post its name here so others can avoid it (only if you find out which one).
HTH
Thank you for your reply.
Well, I was not sure which program installed this thing in my phone, so I un-installed all software that I downloaded. However, that did not resolve the issue. I still have the same problem.
Any advice?
Thank you..

Backup your contacts and other important media and factory reset the device maybe?
Thats a bit of a worry this! Not to scare you or anything, but that sounds like some form of virus/hijacking/trojan or something!
Why not install a "task killers" application and see if you can kill a particular process that is showing those ads.
If you find the right one, it might give you some indication what application created it - but do let us know if you do find out!
Or you can just write down the list of installed apps on your Hero here and then someone can take a look at the list?
Thank you guys. I found the problem, and it was due to the installation of a scientific calculator from the free market. Once I removed it, things went back to normal.
many thanks.
Do you fancy naming and shaming the app? Then no-one else will have to go through this again. Oh, and make sure you give it 1* and a negative comment on the market.
Perhaps we need an 'apps wall of shame' for any apps that do things such as this... Then we could look up any apps before downloading if they looked suspicious.

You might give us the name of the app so that others can get a chance to stay away from it?
I find the AdFree app invaluable in the fight againt annoying ads in other apps.

If you can't get the host file to download 1st time click Revert and then download the host file again. Should work.
I put my first app on the market. For some reason, Google Market doesn't let you download your own app. wth?
I'm asking that someone download it (or try to) to make sure it works. There were a few steps to do to get the app ready for the market and I want to make sure I didn't mess anything up (and that people can dl it!)
It's called "Prefix Code Finder" and has a blue telephone icon and the author is "smartapps".
It's listed at $1.00...all I ask is you to dl it for 5 minutes, test it and then you can return it.
And another weird thing happened after I published it; I can no longer get it on my phone. I load it, it says "Success" and I can see it in Manage Applications, but the icon to run is not to be found!! I turned debugging back on, tried to load it by running it from Eclipse and installing with adb. I tired both apk's; the publishable version and the one that I changed the debug to TRUE. WEIRD.
Please don't consider this spam and I really didn't want to post this, but I have no way to check to see if this is working.
Thanks
You are allowed to download your own app, trust me on that one, ive done it many times
Hmmm...I'll try again, but..getting a "Server error has occurred" still
Well, I can't wait. Only thing I can think of was that I imported this project vs. "making it from scratch". I'm just going to make a new app and copy all the files in...something got out of synch somehow...
Well, I redid the ENTIRE project from scratch, exported my apk and installed to market.
I still get a SERVER ERROR...can anyone please try to download this.....just see if you can pull it down, do a search or two and return it.
It's now called "Prefix Finder" has a red phone icon and the author is still "smartapps"
I just really need to narrow down if I'm doing something wrong with the app preparation or if it's Google Market.
Thank you so much
Only thing I can think of is that I don't have my bank account info in there yet; maybe that's causing the error...i just need another "body" to test it LOL

It is moist likely your app there has been a lot of people getting this server error
Edit: I just downloaded app works perfect
Sent from my unrEVOked using xda app
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I'll make sure you get a free copy if you want it LOL
What sucks to me is making those images of the app; I'm a programmer, not a graphics artist. And since my data is on a hosted server, I can't get a picture of the output from the emulator. I would have to "hard code" some data in and then do the screen capture.
Oh well, off to get my next app up...similar to this one, but it's a Zip Code Finder.
Then I've got to figure out what to code next...
It be pretty cool if you could put looking for the area codes and zoos by city and state
Sent from my unrEVOked using xda app
So, a reverse lookup? I have considered that.
I'll have to look at the data first. Major cities could have a lot of area codes and prefixes. Not worried about the speed pulling from the hosted database, it's pretty fast; I'm just worried about a crapload of data to scroll through
But hey, thanks, I will probably do it as version 1.1 if I'm not getting 100 areacodes and prefixes for one city.
Yeah, not going to work. I just queried Columbus, OH and got 427 rows back! That would be a lot of scrolling if I did that many lines. I could send it back as "201, 202, 203, 215, 216, 217....", but that just might look ugly LOL
Yeah way top Mick Lol
Sent from my unrEVOked using xda app
Got the other app published...I still don't know why I can't install either of them...freakn' server error.
Don't know if you've tried this. Guessing you probably have, but I had got that error a few times before and I fixed by doing a reboot of the phone. Just an idea.
Didn't think about that...thanks!
I just ended-up running adb install
Well, I'm up and running and making "some" sales.
Moved on to licensing my apps (new and old). Once I get that ironed-out, I can start back with development, because we ALL know that's where the real fun is. LOL
Sucks being a programmer...no problems writing code, just not creative enough to come up with ideas that aren't out there yet...still in search of that "must have" app that sells 50,000 copies (yeah, I know...good luck ROFL)
Did some research and found a fix for the Nexus One (mine at least) where the online market shows that an app has been downloaded and installed, but never shows up on the phone. Does not require a data wipe:
1) go to settings>applications>manage applications>all>google services framework>clear data
2) same settings>applications>manage applications>all>market>clear cache and force close
3) go to Titanium Backup and filter by "All" and Apply. Scroll to Market, click on it and select Wipe Data.
4) Reboot phone
5) Open and sign out of GTalk, then re-open and sign in.
6) Open Market and accept agreement. Let it load your apps. Close Market.
7) Go to market.android.com and sign in. Go to My Market Account>Settings tab>Edit>Nickname your phone and click Update.
8) Download an app. My downloads now start almost immediately.
Done!
Mods, posted in Q&A also. Thought it would be of benefit here too, feel free to move/delete.
It works, Thanks!!

I'll email you again as soon as more details are available. Thanks for your patience as we work out the kinks in the Android Market website.

bumpity bump bump
it works, but i'm wondering why such a problem occurs.. bit weird
There is only 1 app on my phone that I do not want to loose the data for. That app would be aCar. Well, I have been use titanium back up for at least 6 months and i am pretty proficient at using it. Well, I was playing around with my phone, like the lot of us do. I made a backup of aCar before I messed around with my phone. Ended up having to do a data wipe/factory reset on my phone. Restored aCar and it force closes. I can load the app, but the data is corrupt. Is there any way to pull the data from the TiBu backup file. I have about a month worth of data there that I want to save.

Sounds like you may end up losing the data for that app. Imo, for the future, you may want to try syncing with your dropbox account. It could either be an SD card failure, or just a bad backup from the start. IMO, Id copy all info to my computer, reformat and then try again. If it still happens, I would suggest clearing data from the app and try restoring data ONLY. If it still happens, try uninstalling and then restoring it completely, app and data, via tibu. Feeel free to try these in any order. haha.

I sent him a message basically asking him if there was a way to extract the data from the app and he hasn;t returned the message yet. Granted, this was just yesterday. If I dont hear from him tomorrow, I will probably him pester him again with another email.

Give him atleast a day imo. TiBu isnt his single source of income and hes not in the US Hell probably be asking for a logcat, so I would make sure to have that at the ready, or send him an amended email including the logcat.txt for him to check out so that neither of you guys are wasting time waiting for it.
alright, thank you very much for your assistance. i will be sure to get a log cat ready of the app when it fails. do you think i should send him corrupted TiBu data as well?

Imo, start with the Logcat and then move on from there. Np dude, thats what the boards are here for Its not like youre asking stupid things that can EASILY be answered by reading an obvious post. Plus, data corruption can happen to ANYONE. If it happens to me, Id rather know what I can do to fix it Purely selfish motives my good sir. haha. jk....kinda.
