I'm not sure how to get this off. It is said to pay 500 and seems real

1. 1

   And the last option that works for other phones to boot into safe mode is turning the device off and back on

   While in the safe mode, you will be able to uninstall the virus

   .

   Press the home button, press the menu button. Select "Settings". Tap on "Apps" or "Application manager". Tap on "All". Look for a suspicious name. The virus is known to name itself in many ways. Some of them are "BaDoink", "Video Player", "Network Driver System", "Video Render", etc. If you see "Adobe Flash Player", then you might need to reset the phone completely (learn how to hard-reset your phone in this article).

Hi, I bought a replacement battery for the S4 (I9505)?

I tried to charge it and my phone says: this battery can't be used on this phone. I tried it in another S4 (i9515) and no problems. How can I fix this?
