So is this?

Noticed today these popped up in the /cache of my phone, wouldnt the update be d/l to this location? no idea what they are could they part of a OTA they are starting to push?
Maybe nothing but figured i'd share just in case it is. how big would the update be you guys think?
I'm running Stock 2.1 rooted

What browser are you using? Have you downloaded any apps with your browser? I seem to remember having the same, maybe when I was using Xscope.....

You know, I got those same things. I didn't think twice and just deleted them. I wonder. . .

lol those are leftovers from downloading through any browser. i get those in my downloads folder whenever i downloading something through my phone's internet. You will know when you get the official OTA. nothing will happen to your phone unless you get the pop-up saying there is an OTA available and ask if you would like to download and install it.

Just using the stock browser, have not downloaded anything in quite a while, defanitly not on the 30th?
I though about deleting them but figured i'd ask, besides if they were cache'd data from a browser download why would they be packaged?
Not saying i have something but just found it peculiar they are all packaged and in the root cache where a ota would show up right?
Looks like one is missing ?

OTA doesnt download anything until you approve it.

I believe it actually downloads the OTA and stores in cache before it prompts you. Don't quote me though, I've been wrong before lol

i did the 2.0.1 to 2.1 update on my wife's droid, it didnt download anything until after you approved to do the update. you can also see with the EVO froyo updates, it asks if you want to update over 4g/mobile/wifi or just wifi.

I had no idea what it was but I though maybe they were incrementally pushing pieces or something, I'm new to android, I figured it would probably be nothing but didnt want to delete something that could help someone.
If you think about it, if they pushed a few small pieces to your cache and the the last piece could parse it all and install it wouldnt that save alot of bandwidth for them? or at least even the load? Thats what made me ponder what it was. I'm sure its not browser cache or it wouldnt be a .apk it would probably be a sql db wouldnt it?
I tried to copy them to the root of my sd card but it wouldnt let me for whatever reasonthrough root explorer. maybe i'll copy them out over adb and extract the .apk just to see whats in it, That should tell me.
Anyway figured some other insight would be nice.

I thought someone from Unrevoked said on twitter to the evo users if you get the ota message to upgrade dont do it and the upgrade file would be stored it the root cache? heck iono i've slept since then.

I believe those are failed or canceled .apk downloads.

Why don't you just copy them to your pc and take a peak inside the apk with 7zip?

Never saw something like this. Did it occur out of the blue or after flashing a ROM?
(judging from your non-stock battery icon I take assume you're on a custom ROM)

it just appeared, also i did a full clean new rom flash(wiped everything), but i restored my data (only the data from my apps/apk) and when someone called me,it appeared again,its weird

In that case I don't have any advice I'm afraid. I even googled it because I never saw something like it, doesn't yield any useful info. Could be some samsung driver causing Android to display this red f, but that's just speculation.
If it remains, I'd return to factory images, relock the bootloader and claim warranty.

yeah, i googled it too,and couldnt find a single post, the only reasonably thing is that it may be a virus or something, and it came back with the data restore, i cant think of something else, thank you for your time though

you have an app doing that.

Try going through each of your backed up apps, to see if you can find the app that's causing this.

i killed each running app in the backround, and i found it, its an app named "Android lost" , never had a problem with it, dont know why it just happended (also it had long to time to do an update, so to say that was something in the update)
weird.

Glad you got it sorted out.

Any luck with that yet? I am in a similar situation. I flashed CM10 but miss the stock alarm clock. I am currently using Alarm Clock Xtreme from the play market which is the closest I have found so far.

Trying...
I am new to this so I have been trying to teach myself as I go. This is what I have done so far:
1) I managed to get the .apk and .odex from stock.
2) Copied them to the system/media folder
3) Matched the permissions on them both in ES File explorer.
4) Moved them to system/app
4) Restart device
This is still not working and will not install. I feel like I am either missing a crucial step (most likely) or it is not compatible.

If it's a Samsung touchwiz app it won't work for aosp roms, without some modification to the app itself, it's not compatible.

I recently disabled this service on my stock JB device. I took a look at the OS logcat file and was concerned seeing approx 100 errors every few seconds. Attached is a sample, which repeated along with lots of other mystery errors. Anyone know what it means? There were no signs of trouble using the phone, but seemed excessive. I had tried the widget once a few weeks ago, then removed it. No alarms were set. Am I over reacting? What does it mean?
Sorry for the html tags. Also attached link to full log file if anyone has any insight into this or the other errors constantly thrown. Is this normal?
Thanks!

This looks like it requires some hardcore reprogramming which unfortunately is beyond my capabilities at the moment. I am self teaching myself this stuff as I go and have minimal programming experience right now. Coming from TW to an ASOP rom can be tricky from what I have been reading.

just select "Do not show next time" and allow it...You won't be bothered anymore...Although i am not sure why is the app asking for permission...Have u denied any permission to the app or sumthin coz it should not ask u to grant permission for this...

I tried all the combinations and nothing changed. Still popping up. Same happens when Im taking picture with Facebook messenger, every time asks me if it can use the camera.

That's weird, I've never seen that before on my phone. Is that a built in Android thing or is it one of the Asus bloatware apps?

Mee too... I dont think it is either of them... There is no such kinda bloatware in Asus and it cant be built-in android thing as we are not getting this prompts...Maybe he has installed some kinda app which notifies about permissions

Perhaps its that antivirus that Asus included. I uninstalled that right away, as it let me do so.

What antivirus?! I didnt install any of that crap. I found that this happens on zenfone 5 and there is a fix for that.
EDIT. What is the latest firmware? System update tells me is the latest version installed but I thing it isnt.
EDIT 2. Yep there is a newer version available. Ill try to install it and see if its happening again

It was some DrVirus or something like that. I don't remember exactly because I uninstalled it before it had a chance to run.

I updated to new rom and problem has gone

Looks like the apps are in product/app and product/priv-app now. Maybe you can delete them from there, restart and have them be gone
