So this is what I get when I turn om my wifi:
"A program has been forced to quit because of an unauthorized attempt to access the system on your device. It may be safer to delete an application if it comes from an unauthorized source. Check now?"
I have deleted all apps that I have installed from google play, as this is the only place I have apps from.
Any suggestions how I can find out where this comes from?

After installing Android Market, many applcations aren't showing up on my KF, from "Yahoo Fantasy" to "Google Earth.
Is there a way around this. I know on my phone you use to have to edit the build prop or something to get the Market to show all the apps.
protected apps don't show up - use sideloading
have tried editing the fingerprint in build.prop - it brings you more troubles ...
(amazon services, incompatible apps, ...)
if someone knows a compatible fingerprint, please post it !
Yeah, sideloading is really the best option. Find a website (like apktop or similar) that has apps available for download and then just download them and install.
Another option, if you have an Android phone, is to download the app, then send it to yourself via email or Dropbox.
Haven't messed around with build.prop myself, it's too scary to me. So far I've only come across maybe two apps that I haven't been able to sideload successfully.
hijack this thread with a related question...
sideloaded apps do not show up in market. is there any way to have them show up there? or have to manually update using apks?
thanks.

goto settings -> applications -> market
clear cache -> clear data -> force close -> reboot KF
after reentering the market you should have your apps (with a bit of luck)
if they are not protected apps. sideloaded protected apps you'll never see in the market.
About a month ago, I was having a problem with my Nexus 7 wanting to download/install a system update. I found a method online where I simply renamed /System/Etc/Security/otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip.bak. This worked and all was good for a few weeks.
Now, despite still having the renamed file, I am getting notifications for a system update again. I googled the problem and it appears that Google Play Services is now including the update service which is re-enabled each time the app updates.
Is there a new and improved solution to keep the update from downloading/notifying/installing? I have re-purposed the tablet for a child and rooted the stock 4.4.2 software in order to avoid ads which are not always kid-friendly and also to allow disabling Google apps that I don't want my child to have access to. I could take the update, but that would require undoing all the mods, updating, re-rooting and re-applying changes. I would rather not invest the time for a child's device that is working smoothly otherwise.
Trying something I found on another site. We'll see how it goes:
Install "System application manager" from the Play store (http://bit.ly/1mf6etg)
Install "Disable Service" from Play Store (http://bit.ly/1mf6XKL)
Download "Google Play Services 4.3.25" which will be side-loaded in a future step (http://bit.ly/1mf2WpT)
Go to Settings>Apps>All and find Google Play Services. Wipe cache and data. Uninstall any updates (I had to disable Android Device Manager first)
Install the version of Google Play Services that you downloaded in step 3
Run "System application manger". Tap "Filter" near the top until is shows ">Updated<". You should see Google Play Services in the list. Tap on it, select Manage, then select Convert and move to System Apps
Reboot phone when conversion is done
Open "Disable Service" and go to System Apps section
Find Google Services Framework and tap it. Uncheck "SystemUpdateService" (may already be unchecked)
Find Google Play Services and tap it. Uncheck "SystemUpdateService"
Reboot device again and hopefully be done with OTA nagging
Model: ZE552KL
Firmware: 20160803
I have asked this on ASUS forum and of course none of the ASUS employees lurking those forums would not answer.
I have set the "Auto-download system update" to "Do not auto-download system update".
My phone now automatically starts downloading the system update everytime I'm connected to Wi-Fi. I go to FOTAService and force stop it, I delete the storage "clear data" or clear cache.
All this only helps until it connects again to Wi-Fi, then the update starts again.
Can someone come with a solution please? I want to keep the current firmware.
Unlock your bootloader? Lol
How about disable the update app via something like titanium backup, but I think that feature is only in the paid version. I guess you could always delete the update APK? Make a backup first of course
Where is the folder where the update is kept? I connected to computer and made sure all hidden files were unchecked in windows but couldn't find any such folder.
Try the app "disable service " on the play store. Select "system" and then "Google services framework" and then un-tick "SystemUpdateService" and reboot.
I have the latest stock Android M firmware and couldn't disable FOTA Service (can't press the Disable button under Apps). Are there ways to disable FOTA Service without root access?
The notification pops-up every time I connect to WiFi. I guess I just have to find the proper App/Service to disable Wifi/Cellular data access instead.
Question is, which App/Service can have WiFi/Cellular data access to shut off safely?
While I still can't find ways to disable the notification, which seems to pop-up on every IP address change or reconnect to wifi after inactivity, by wasting 1.5GB downloading the firmware, I can snooze the alert for up to 1 day.
I can't find the right settings on my device for Google Play. I loaded an app for a public transit system that insists I don't have it installed, but it's definitely there. This is preventing ALL programs from installing :crying: I really want to root my device but I don't know if I can without installing a program, and I need to at least back up before doing a factory reset- which requires installation of a backup program (Catch-22!)
Is there anything that will automatically adjust the Android settings to allow Google Play to be satisfied? Or a reference guide that supplies ALL the settings names and their required state?
Hi everyone, I've had this Redmi note 7 for a couple of years now. In the last few months its software started behaving erratically:
- Settings app doesn't work anymore, it gets stuck as soon as you open it
- No google apps work besides Google chrome (play store even lists possible app updates as: (, , , , , , , , )
- Keyboard doesn't open
- 3/4 of the installed apps behave like settings does
- Connecting it to a PC doesn't allow you to access the phone memory if not through adb
- Every x minutes a message pops up saying that "The security app is not responding"
Because of the points listed above, it became impossible for me to update the OS from settings and try to fix this whatever is happening. After looking online for a bit I found a guide that basically had this steps:
- Download the update.zip from xiaomi website (Done)
- Move the zip file to the root folder of the phone
- Restart the phone and enter recovery mode
- Select the options "Update from update.zip" or something similar
The problem I have with step 2 is that whenever I try to move the zip, it denies permission. Trying to get in as root throws "disabled in production build" error (I guess because the phone is not rooted).
Is there any way to recover this crippled phone? Has any of you ever witnessed anything similar to what is happening to it? Is there a way to update the OS without using apps/settings or root?
If you need additional info just ask and I'll provide.

What about try to do a factory reset from recovery mode?
