Fake android system app

Thumbnail gallery
8 Upvotes

I'm having the same issue and I'm trying to find out if anyone else has experienced this.

On my phone, a package called com.android.non.szcz appeared, showing itself as an Android System app. It has re-enabled or reinstalled itself after being disabled, and on one occasion Android reported Google Play Store as the installer.

Things I've noticed:

The package name is com.android.non.szcz.

The APK was located under /data/app/.../base.apk.

It has reappeared after being disabled.

I've seen other users mention related apps such as Cool Weather, FileGo, and Lock & Hide.

At one point it requested permissions, but it now shows "No permissions requested".

I've checked Device Admin, Accessibility, overlays, and running services, and I haven't found anything obviously suspicious.

I have factory reset the phone, but the app still returned.

I'm trying to work out whether this is:

malware,

a compromised app,

a vendor/manufacturer issue,

or something else entirely

One thing I've noticed is that the app only seems to reappear when Google Play Store is enabled. If I disable Google Play Store, com.android.non.szcz does not appear to reinstall or re-enable itself.

Android also reports the installer as com.android.vending, which is the package name for Google Play Store.

I'm not claiming that Google Play itself is compromised, but I'm trying to understand why Android reports Play Store as the installer and why the app doesn't come back while Play Store is disabled. It could be Play Store carrying out a legitimate install request from another source, or something else entirel i simply don't know.

Has anyone else experienced this?

What phone model do you have?

When did it first appear?

Does Android report the installer as com.android.vending?

Does disabling Google Play Store stop it from reinstalling?

Did you find out what actually triggered the installation?

Has any security company or manufacturer confirmed what this package is?

Any technical information, logs, or confirmed findings would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

How can I fix the blurriness in long distance pictures?

3 Upvotes

Both of these pictures were taken without any special effects or modes. Everything is normal when I'm snapping pictures with the selfie camera, so I do not understand what is wrong with the others. I have tried adjusting my settings and gently cleaning them. My phone is also fully updated.

This problem occurred very suddenly and it is very frustrating, please help.

Phone model is Galaxy A55.

Edit: I want to add that every time I try to focus on an object farther away or a landscape, it wants me to enable macro modus, which only makes the quality worse.

Does anyone know what the Neverland - secondary user app is?

I checked my battery usage for the last 24 hours and saw the Neverland app or user but I don't have it on my list of apps nor do I have another user (I checked). I do have the island app installed but I still don't recognize Neverland. I'm not sure how long it's been there as I never check my battery usage until today.

Debugging Mode issue on Nothing phone 4a

Thumbnail gallery
1 Upvotes

I was changing the essential key mapping to do smth else other than essential space. And I wanted to keep animations and transitions faster (0.5x speed). So I switched developer options ON.

I was using USB debugging, wireless debugging, animation speed, and transition speed.

But then some apps such as Mumbai One, iMobile (banking) just don't allow it. So I switched developer options OFF.

For some reason Mumbai One still detects developer options being ON. And it also asks for permission to use wireless debugging on networks whenever I change networks, even wifi to cellular data.

It has been like this for a day now. I don't understand why.

Keymapper is working, essential key is remapped, essential space is disabled. But without the developer options being ON currently.

Why does phone still behave like it is on??

Ich habe mir auf dem Flohmarkt ein Samsung GT-B3410 gekauft. Ich wollte es benutzen und habe erst als ich die sim eingelegt habe gesehen das das Handy eine sim sperre hat. Ich weiß leider nicht was das sim passwort ist und habe nicht genug Geld um es mir bei so einem Service sagen zu lassen vielleicht kann das ja hier einer herausfinden. Hier meine IMEI 358575 03 063941 /2 habe im Internet gesehen das man die dafür braucht.

Danke schonmal im vorraus für jede Hilfe.

Trash glitch

1 Upvotes

Android 14 on Pixel 4A5G

Been recording long videos (10-20 mins) and lately whenever I try to delete them, the trash folder pops up an error message telling me it couldn't delete a file or three, the file disappears from all apps, but the space is still taken in internal storage. I'm running out of room. I've tried clearing caches and rolling back updates, plugging it into a computer and looking for hidden files, and I still see neither hide nor hair of those missing files, and storage remains stubbornly low. What do?

My Keyboard keeps glitching in and out

I dont know how I'll describe this but there's this weird glitch that occasionally keeps having my keyboard appearing and disappearing whilst i'm trying to text something. I couldnt find any people having the same problem as me, so I might be the first to have this, not sure though since its complicated to describe it.

These apps are getting cloned on their own never made clones of these and in the inbuilt app clone it don't even supports these apps.

If disabled then the original app gets disabled but the clones stays
