N900 installing own apps??
 

don't know if anyone else has had this problem (well i say problem) but my phone has installed some apps that i haven't known about. firstly i installed D4RK icons but it didn't show up in theme customizer, so i uninstalled D4RK whilst doing this power kernel for advanced users popped up asking me if i agreed with it installing to which at that point i cancelled it.
then i went back into app manager and uninstall apps bit and there it was??
now i've just installed ogg so i could play FLAC format and just noticed it also installed Tom Amp?
is this normal or should i take N900 to be exorcised??

Re: N900 installing own apps??
 

The N900 cannot install apps without u physically installing them on ur own...

Also neither are apps bundled with other apps when u download something you want.. So i would think ur N900 is exorcised...:p

i knew the n900 was good but i didn't realize it had A.I. lol stumped tbh defo not having blackouts so can't understand this at all.

If you don't have much data on ur phone why don't u reflash it which should clear out the mess...

brilliant i'm not cracking up, now to fix it. :)

I guess you cold install Faster Application Manager, it's faster and doesn't install random software on it's own.

We re not apple and google dude.

Re: N900 installing own apps??
 

just restore the backup you took. otherwise you have to
MANUALLY UNINSTALL THE APPS YOU DON'T WANT
*gasp*
you could vote for the bug, i'm sure Nokia will rush to fix it!

Re: N900 installing own apps??
 

lol @ nokia fix lol

how do i go about restoring backup, the one i made in backups after i'd reflashed and installed my contacts and calendar events??

Bare with me i'm new to this lol

Re: N900 installing own apps??
 

what? you actually made a backup? that's good news!
just load the backup program under system, choose the one with the correct date, hit restore. i would only check the 'settings' and 'applications' since no need to mess with the emails or contacts or whatever else.

Re: N900 installing own apps??
 

nowadays i always make backups at regular intervals, i've learned it saves a lot of time and stress and now exorcism fee's lol
