annoying pop-up

[lbfginsel]

The last few weeks I get an annoying Pop-up telling me that there is not a standard destination selected. I have to select a destination in the application settings.

I really can't find the application that is giving me this problem, what can I do? I tried a factory settings back-up, but after installing the apps the pop-up was back again....

I could not make a screenshot during the pop-up, so I made a picture with my camera!

How can I find a date af the installed apps?

restart your phone > use your phone as you normally would > once you get that popup

go to settings > apps > running and also cached processes

it has to be an app acting up

OK, I did what you told me, but what should I do? I do have a lot of Apps and I cannot see which one is giving that pop-up?

[Uliwooly]

there isn't a way to know, it will be trial and error or you can post screenshots of the lists of apps and users could suggest something

remember that you don't need

antivirus

battery apps

ram apps

task killers

task managers

booster apps

Uliwooly I did chek all the apps and looked for the adjustments, the pop-up did not show any more....

But you teel me that I don't need antivirus, and all the rest, I am using Lookout antivirus...and Advanced task killer, I like those apps....especially task killer,, I used it on my Xperia mini10pro, the battery did last much longer after installing that app!!!

Why do you give this advice?

[Uliwooly · Accepted solution]

there aren't virus on Android, there is malware BUT as long as you download apps from the market and don't visit dubious websites and have (install from unknown sourcess) you should be ok.

also you do not need a taskiller, that was indeed needed with older android versions, you don't need them anymore; just press back until you exit the apps and they will be stop soon after.

also this apps create a lot of issues, from bootloop restarts, connectivity issues, etc etc, plus check the permisions that you have to give this apps, and most of the time this taskillers have ads, I could keep going but at the end its up to you

Thanks a lot, I will keep this in mind and delete some apps, I will keep Lookout, it is also making backups and when I loose my smartphone, it will be detectable! It can lock, scream and whipe the device.....

[Uliwooly]

you can do that if you use MyXperia, you don't have to use a taskiller or antivirus, you can use MyXperia to lock your phone, delete everything on it or find it from a computer
