Virus on my AT&T SGS3

Started to have some problems with my phone today. WiFi wasn't connecting so I decided to reboot. Still wouldn't work, ran a fix permissions and still nothing. Decided to reboot a second time and got the safe mode screen.
After fixing permissions in cwm phone started up fine, but my APN settings were changed, WiFi still didn't work and all my icons had been moved or deleted.
Be careful out there guys.

Did you download a shady app or anything?

He may have downloaded some BS. Many times when hearing about some malwear or something it could have been avoided if the person wasn't trying to download some pirated app.

Better get it vaccinated.

Just because its in the Store doesnt mean its not shady. Its been brought to attention a few times of very shady apps (mostly sexy picture apps but not always) putting malware on Android phones.

[Q] Has anyone else found that Google wallet works on N7?!

Just for fun I decided to try to sign into Wallet. I didn't have any faith that it works since it doesn't work on my Evo LTE. Not only did it activate, it showed $10 in my account. What was interesting was that the $20 I loaded onto the phone does not show on the tablet. Obviously, it's device dependent.

it was all over the web several days ago

I can't wait to look so cool at Starbucks by swiping my tablet to pay.

I read about the update but I missed the part where someone said it works. I have it on my phone and it doesn't work, despite being one of the features that was played up.

It should work. It was pushed out and can make payments without being connected to the internet.

As a matter of fact, I activated it on my gnex and I got the ten dollar credit. I used it with no problem. Today I got my Nexus 7 and set it up, and got another ten dollar credit. The gnex shows balance zero, the 7 says ten dollars. For what it's worth, if you set up wallet on a rooted device, there is a warning art the top of every screen that the device is not supported for security reasons. Everything still works fine though!

its a security feature within android. you are texting too much within 15 minutes.
as a workaround, flash a custom rom such as cm10.1 jellybro

It's simply telling you to stop spamming! You've reached the allotted amount.

Is this sarcasm? It's a security feature like I said. It's to prevent charges by your carrier. It's definitely possibly to go above 30 SMS limit within 15 minutes.
For example, let's say you had a rogue app. And the rogue app keeps sending text messages, if it sends more than a limit (greater than 30 in 15 minutes) that pops up and asks you whether or not you want to keep allowing it to go further. If you had X number of text messages per month (not unlimited), well... you're in trouble but good guy android is here to protect you
A workaround is what I said above.

Thank you i understand... First time i ever saw that... A little annoying too...

You can always do the workaround it's there to protect you incase if u had a rogue app who wants to keep sending spam SMS when you dont know its happening. Could definitely cost you a lot of fees, especially if it was international texts

[Q] photos loading at very low quality

I have had the same customer return 3 times because of the issue. In all his apps (facebook, instagram, browser, and more) all pictures being loaded from the web are coming in at low pixelated quality. The first time he came in our Samsung rep was there and said he had no idea why it would do that and after we both looked through the settings we decided to try a factory reset..
That worked for about a day and he returns with the same issue. So we replaced his device. Here it is 2 days later and now he's experiencing the same issue again.
It's not the reception. His wife got the same phone and she has not had any of those issues. He connected to WiFi and it's still coming in at extremely low quality.
What could be the issue?? Is there a setting that's he's getting into that could cause all online photos to render at a low quality?
Attached are screenshots of the issue.

nobody knows???

Nobody knows anything about this? This has been an issue with Samsung devices dating back to the original galaxy s. I've searched all over the web with people posting these exact same issues. And not a single person has been able to come up with any kind of solution or thought about what could be causing this. My own rep has no clue what it could be either. One of the employees had the same issue the other day with her s3. Couldnt figure out why it happened but a simple factory reset fixed the issue. It came back of course. But it seems like it's only effecting Samsung devices. So at least one of you guys here had to of ran into this problem at least once.

UPDATE
it seems to have been caused by switching from and to an lte network. Found out after digging around that a customer with an iPhone 5 reported the same issue. Apparently somewhere along the way to and from lte/3g data compression is an issue. Thanks for all your help guys.......

New AOD update.

Just woke up to my AOD being different. I used the large hour with the blue minute and that option is now gone. Is this the version from the note 7?

It is similar to that of the Note 7 but you won't get all the notifications yet. I'm really waiting for the Note 7 features to be on the S7 Edge since this is their only flagship now along with the S7.

It now shows music track info! Works with Google Music, others have said Spotify as well. This is a great unexpected update.

Yeah this update is from the note 7.... But samsung won't just give us all.. There must be something less..!! No notification for third party apps... Why is that Sammy :3

This may be a foolish question but when did you get that version? Mine says latest at 1.3.14 @robogoflow

I woke up Friday morning to it automatically updated. I believe you can go to the Samsung app store and manually update it there

Ya hopefully the quick notifications access like note 7 comes through i miss that. This is a great update though

Can anyone post the apk for this. I have been trying to download the update and cant wont have wifi for the next few weeks either.

It doesn't show any of the notifications, I've even cleared cache and Badge Provider cache, still can't get my notifications to show, uninstalled the update, everything works fine.
