I just bought a Nokia 6.1 phone. On the whole I like it, but today this popped up:    The app is called "NPS" ("Net Promoter Score"?) version 9.0010.50. I found a discussion of it , but the only way mentioned to disable it doesn't work (my "User Experience Program/Diagnostic Report" option is already off).  I don't like my time being wasted, but I like even less the idea that the phone is "phoning home" to yet another company.  Any suggestions for how to disable or get rid of this app? (I'm tempted to respond as negatively as possible to every question the app poses...)

I'm using a Samsung I9000 and I have some annoying apps that came pre installed by the phone vendor, like a music store, a custom web browser and other memory leaking apps.  Those crappy apps can't be uninstalled neither by Manage applications tool, nor by editing the apps tiles in the front menu.  I guess I have to be a root user or something to get rid of those apps, but I don't know how.

I have been using the app for 3 days now. I just opened it up again, and it asked me to sign "up" again with either Google or the Trainer server.   So I signed up with the same Google account as when I first started with and the game started again.   Is there Any way I can get my progress back?

I just saw this ad on the side of Stack Overflow:    I currently work for stealth.travel.  It even shows it when I click on the link!    How is it possible that the system does not link 2 + 2 together and not show me the company I already work for in the banner ad? (not that I am looking for a new job, just curious how my own company showed up there)

This morning I experienced the weirdest thing by my iPhone 6S requiring me to enter my passcode rather than allowing me to use my finger as Touch ID.  My phone was locked probably for like 4 hours while charging overnight and as far as my knowledge my phone did not restart during this time since my Stack Exchange app was left open and upon opening it the same content were still there.  I didn't attempt even once to use my Touch ID; if I would've had a faulty Touch ID sensor then I should've seen such similar behavior either prior to this morning or at least afterwards (I'm already on my phone for the past 3 hours plus).  I didn't register or delete any fingerprints for months.  And finally, I don't have any restrictions setup to require the input of my passcode under Settings > General > Restrictions.  I'm running on iOS Version 10.0 beta 3 (14A5309d)  Anyone out there that has also experienced such similar behavior or with any suggestion on what might've caused it?

I have recently installed an Android app from the Play Store. While registering in it, I realized that it was able to read my message of OTP without even asking for my permission to read the message.  I have AOSP Extended 5.8 with the August security patch. It's an Android Oreo 8.1 based custom rom.

I upgraded my Nexus 4 to Lollipop a few days ago but I don't like it. I'll leave out my reasons because they're not relevant here. I wiped my phone and installed a clean stock 4.2.2 version instead. I'm happy with this.  Not long after, Android automatically downloaded the 4.3 upgrade and notifies me with the choices "Later" and "Install". I don't want to do this upgrade.  How do I:   get rid of the notification, and  remove the downloaded update (to free up precious storage space).     I have already tried choosing "Later" but the same notification immediately reappears.    Based on Google search results, I also tried going to Settings &gt; Apps &gt; All &gt; Google Services Framework and unticked "show notifications" but it still appears. Force stop or disable also doesn't seem to help, so I've re-enabled the service including notifications. I didn't see any other apps in this list that sounded relevant - did I just not see it?

I just updated my Nexus 4 to Lollipop. Now, every time I unlock my phone, the Phone app opens. Surely this is a bug and not a feature. It doesn't matter if I received a notification; and I'm not clicking the phone icon at the bottom - I slide to unlock, draw my secret pattern and am instantly taken to the phone app.  Does anyone know what's going on here?

I think it would be nice if you read an inbox notification on the desktop version of the site, it should dismiss the native Android notification in the system tray. It seems kind of weird when I come back to my phone an hour later, and find a bunch of notifications I thought a dealt with... and come to find out I really did deal with them.

I "retired" my old iPhone 3GS when I got my shiny new iPhone 4 and I was happily using it as an iPod touch with camera and compass.  However, I made the mistake of throwing away the SIM inside the 3GS, because I wanted to permanently disable any phone functions, and make sure I didn't have to turn on airplane mode or anything silly like that.  Well, that seemingly worked fine until iTunes upgraded the 3GS to iOS 4.0.2. Now the sim-less iPhone 3GS is stuck at ...     No SIM card installed   Insert an unlocked and valid SIM to activate iPhone     What sucks is that I can't figure out any way to get around this!  Apparently, based on the (excellent)  the only way around it is to either   Jailbreak Get an AT&amp;T sim, somehow   I tried to Jailbreak but I was nowhere near smart enough to navigate the maze of twisty passages involved in jailbreaking this 3gs. iBoot too new? ipsw not recognized? ... what?  I feel like an idiot now because apparently an AT&amp;T sim is REQUIRED to make an iPhone work even if you have no intention of ever using it as a phone? Is that true? How can you get around this "No SIM card" issue?

I'm using Mobile Broadband using a nokia mobile to connect to Internet. All I did in my Ubuntu 12.10 is add 'new mobile broadband' (in terms of networking, no other tweaks). Problem: Yesterday i just test connected a micromax mobile (Not deteced by nm). After that i can't connect to internet using my nokia mobile. This is first in my experience (Connecting a phone make the network manager to not detect other one). lsusb and ifconfig -a show my phone without any problem. Then I connected the nokia to a live system, everything is OK until i connect the Micromax phone. (just phically. nm not even detected the micromax).After that no detection by nm. I think reseting network manager will fix the problem.

Just by curiosity, since I wasn't able to find an answer after googling, do you know what are these "codes" after the packages names of my apps in /data/app/…?  This number is neither in androidmanifest.xml, nor in cert.sf, nor in manifest.mf (inside the meta-inf folder).  For example the package name of Clash of Clans is followed by the "code": com.supercell.clashofclans-Bd6GIb47XTzpL16jgR1kZA==

I know I can choose "Hidden in menus" and never see the devices again when I install a application. But I don't want my old mobile phones display in my account settings anymore. I have sold those phones already and never use them again!  In fact, the list look likes a cemetery in my mind now. ;(

What is a good app for blocking incoming SMS? I want it to be easy and able to add numbers from contacts and not require to many privileges (probably only some storage and intercepting SMS).

I recently posted a question to SO in which I immediately answered myself because I figured it would be a common question about the newly released Windows Phone 8. Someone suggested I make my answer community wiki.   What do you think? Should my answer be community wiki to avoid the appearance of rep mongering or does it matter?   I know the whole community wiki controversy hasn't been addressed in quite a while, so...

I have a Nexus 7 (2013) and a Moto X (2014) running Lollipop. On both of these, if I get a heads-up notification (i.e., those that show up on top of the screen when the device is unlocked) and swipe down on it with 2 fingers, it 'breaks' further heads-up notifications:   I can't tap on them to open the responsible app For, e.g., an incoming phone call with 'answer' and 'dismiss' buttons, tapping the buttons does nothing. I can't answer phone calls anymore!   I can still swipe to the side to dismiss the notifications, and they still disappear on their own after a few seconds. I haven't been able to find a way to get the correct behavior back aside from a restart.  Yeah, the obvious workaround is to not two-finger swipe on them, but it's second nature as that same gesture expands notifications in other contexts.  I'm guessing the problem is generic, but I've triggered it on Hangouts and Phone notifications.  Do others experience the same thing? Any known 'fixes' aside from restarting?

A few days ago I was using the Google iOS app (not Chrome, but the specific &quot;Google&quot; app that you can download in the App Store) to go to shady website in an attempt to stream a movie online. Stupid, I know. I didn't download anything, and I didn't think I clicked on anything, but I started getting a prompt to call a number. As far as I could tell, it wasn't any of the obviously fake ones that tell you to call a number because your phone is compromised or anything. It looked like the legit prompt that pops up when you click on a number in iOS where it has &quot;Call 808-xxx-xxxx&quot; on the top row and &quot;Cancel&quot; on the bottom row at the bottom of your screen. This is the prompt that comes up if you click on a number in any app. Anyways, it popped up a thousand times and stopped when I killed the app. How does that exploit work? Did the webpage just trick my phone into thinking I clicked on a number a few dozen times? Is there any chance I got a virus from the website? Things have seemed fine since. Is there any way to tell if you have a virus aside from just the normal weird symptoms?

I'm trying the free version of an app, and I'm considering to upgrade to the Premium version. The said app is .  From what I see, the Premium version in not directly available on Play Store, and it can be purchased only in-app.  How do these purchases work? If I  uninstall the app then reinstall it later, or if in the future I change my phone, this purchase will still be recognised?  Will I be able to use the full version again without having to pay once more for it?   It appears that the purchase is managed by Google Play:
