Too many ads
How do you stop the installer and file manager access to internet

TerrorSquad147:
please how did you do it?

shidof:
how did you do that?

Locate the app then goto app information, select Restrict data usage. Uncheck the Sims and if their is WiFi option uncheck it too. This also apply to other apps you don't want to access internet.

meobizy:
Nairalanders will never believe this. A user mentioned this since 2013, he got ridiculed off this platform.

True

Is Tecno brand not cleared from this?

there is little or no profit from low end Chinese phones. those trajon and malware is where they get this profit from. iPhone and samsong makes their money from exorbitant price sales while cheap phone makes from ads trajon malware.

Ikillbrokehoes:
This is why I don't use Chinese phones, those guys can spy on someone's privacy like mad, stupid people, I will advise guys here of you have money buy a Samsung phone or Google pixel,they are the best

My Gionee GN5005 always pop up advert whenever I'm installing app.

Please I need help on how to root this GN5005.

oyibo understand this,that is why they send down those trash to africa & we buy it under fancy names like,transion,uk used,belgium,tecno,itel,infinix, total rubbish set of plastic toys

That's how my gionee s10 lite keeps deducting me anytime I recharge my phone till it's exhausted.

The story locker is an advertisement strategy.

YangaBabe:
This is really bad for their business,but why is op mentioning TECNO? Cos I have never experienced such on my TECNO device

The source; gsmarena.com mentioned tecno and infinix

Breastfeed:
I wonder what is bringing TECNO into this o, they have been cleared of this allegations long ago na

Referring to them as an example

Sunkanmiwise:
TECNO has cleared their issues since now, why bringing them into an issue that doesn't concern them. Too much unnecessary hatred in this space.

As in"for example" besides, it was gsmarena.com that mentioned them

This is so true, some ilicit apps installed automatically with out my authorization. Same with ilicit ads, although still using my s11 of 2 years.

The Chinese court has published a verdict on a case involving the Chinese smartphone maker Gionee. It seems that Gionee planted a Trojan Horse on more than 20 million devices to get money from unsolicited ads and other malicious activities without the user's knowledge.

The Shenzhen Zhipu Technology Co. Ltd., which is a subsidiary of Gionee, has implanted a Trojan Horse through a software update using the so-called "Story Lock Screen" app. The first devices infected with the "Dark Horse Program" were in December 2018. The job was carried out until October 2019 and for that period, the company is said to have earned around $4.2 million, affecting 21.75 million smartphones. The expenses for that period are just a little below $1.3 million.

Xu Li, Zhu Ying, Jia Zhengqiang and Pan Qi were found guilty in the process of illegally controlling mobile devices and are sentenced from 3 to 3.5 years in prison along with a CNY 200,000 (~$30,000) fine each.

Although shocking, this seems to be a common practice with cheap Chinese smartphones and other companies were also found guilty of the same
malicious activity and Tecno is one of them.

They need to explain why the require your GPS to connect, (2) why they download the updated version of thier app without you knowing, only for them to ask you to install it, (3) Why they send unknown apps to someone phone along with other files you're sending.

TinubuGoQuench:

I thought I was the only one that noticed these.

I hope the ignorant kids up here shouting Chinese phones are aware that all their iPhones and Samsungs and most popular phone brands in the world are produced in china? If not for the massive industrial scaling in china, your newest iPhone will cost you upward of 3 million naira. And you can clearly see the government is against this, judging by the prosecution and indictment in the article.

Use your heads before typing stupid

iPhones are produced in China just because of cheap labors. All the materials used in it production are sourced from USA.. so talk of data security , iPhone is safe compared to Chinese brand

Go to the settings of each of the system app that shows ads and disable recommendations. Better still visit the Xiaomi thread you will see more details.

You think the creators of these phones can't stylishly have a malware in their phones too. You don't know more than those who created these phones
