Before addressing this frustrating Android
bug issue, I wish to apologize for the long absence of post on this blog to my esteemed tech readers who visit this blog so as to get updated with trending
tech news & tips on how to solve some peculiar IT issues like the one I am
about discussing.
The reasons for the irregularity has been the fact
that I’ve been working on a couple of projects and making research so as to
come up with lasting solution to some IT issues. Some of those projects will
soon be made available to all tech lovers in the field of virtualization,
advanced network design & deployment, IT securities, among others.
WHAT IS A BUG?
Back to the issue of the day and by the
way, what is a bug? The term “bug” in the info tech industry dates back to the
early 19th century and
from a lay man’s point of view – I will call it a problem that needs fixing,
especially in the info tech environment. In most cases, it’s likely a software
problem. But in this article we will be talking about that very irritating,
persistent and die-hard Android bug that I personally refer to as “nude-pix” bug which many people I have personally talked with are facing in their
Samsung, Tecno, Infinix, Injoo, and other Android devices.
IMPACT OF NUDE-PIX BUG
I chose to call it an irritating,
persistent and die-hard bug in the sense that once this bug activates itself in
your device, it will automatically download and install all kinds of porn images and other
unwanted apps that will keep popping up on your device – resisting all attempt
you put in closing/stopping it. Even attempting to end the running process does
not yield any tangible result. It’s also a persistent bug mind you, because
most people facing this bug end-up with the last resort of flashing their
device – thinking that it might be due to a virus or worm that their Android
device contacted – this does not stop the bug from reactivating itself after a
very short while. And this has been confirmed in several instances by different users.
Beside, I call it a "die-hard" bug in the sense that its quite challenging to diagnose not to mention being able to nail it down due to the fact that it is an inbuilt
bug which may stem from either a deliberate or unintentional act on the part of
the ROM developers.
HOW TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE
At this point, it might be that you’recurrently facing the issue or you know about someone who is battling with it. And the next
thing that pops up in your mind is: ‘so how do we get rid of this bug? I will
like to state that getting rid of this very bug comes with a down side of
losing your device’s warranty, this is because part of the trick to a permanent
solution for this very issue involves meddling with the Android’s kernel
security which most techies refers to as “rooting”. But in most cases, many of
these devices are already out-of-warranty and this may not be a hindrance to
getting a bug free device.
And if such is your case, then I will
categorically tell you that all you need to do is get a professional tech savvy
Android specialist to deploy a customized Android ROM (otherwise known as
Android Operating System) into your device. Note that I said a ‘professional
tech-savvy Android specialist’ because not every Android technician can
navigate through the nifty gritty four-step process of
deploying a customized ROM in an Android device. In most instances, failure to
follow all the precautions may risk your device getting brick – that is being
rendered unusable. Sorry I am not trying to scare you.
That being said I would like to state that
this is my personal analysis of the issue, having spent quite some months
researching, troubleshooting and analyzing the issue in about eighty five (85)
android devices from different users scattered across different part of the
country. As such I have successfully deployed my customized ROM into these devices
and they are all working perfectly. But as a caveat, note that I am not responsible for
any damage that may occur as a result of your decision to deploy this custom ROM on your device either by an Android technician or by yourself.
All in all I wish you all success in this
exploit if you would have the courage to give it a try. And I look forward to
lots of success stories right below this article by techies who got it right,
even though you get stock – feel free to share your story as you never can tell
you may be fortunate to get another tip to unhook you from where you got stock.
