I rooted my Evo 4G for the first time last Sunday (8/28/11) and installed Wireless Tether, Root Check, Quick Boot, and ROM Manager.
Ever since then, I've been getting ads in my notification bar. They show up with a green + icon and when I tap it, it opens the browser and goes to some website or to an app in the market.
Any idea where these are coming from, or which of those 4 apps I installed is causing this?
Thanks

Take a screenshot, and post it here. I think I know what it's for.
I'll try to catch it next time it comes up. It's already cleared from my notification area and I don't know if there a notification history anywhere.
The last one I got took me to the android market for an app to watch TV on a droid X. The notification said something like "Watch TV! Watch TV! (opt out at http: //xa....
couldn't see the rest of it since there's no word wrap in the notificiations.

Could be caused by another app you have installed already, and what ROM are you using?
Stock ROM with Superuser installed. I've been getting them every day since Sunday. I have gotten updates to existing apps around that time, so one of them could have added it. Any way to figure out which one it is rather than uninstalling them one at a time?

There's a app to monitor data, but otherwise I would check recently installed apps.
Found it.. it was "SPL Meter FREE" by Hashir N A. It's been renamed "ANDROID SPL METER" in the market.

Good, malicious app caught.
and others...
Gotta love xda. I googled for an hour for this issue. Searched xda and it was the 2nd item on the list.
I don't have that app installed but I started getting those type messages today.
How did you determine the app that caused it?

ok ive done a ton of searching and tried a bunch of apps with NOOOOO success
i get a push from notification every fewdays to a few times a day cant see a pattern or an app that is causing it they are for free ipads or something along them lines
ive tried to remove them by replying to them as they ask,
googling the website and reading some pretty bad stuff about them didnt make things any better
all the apps ive tried and have had zero results from them :
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bartat.android.elixir
https://market.android.com/details?id=bt.android.elixir
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.antivirus

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.denper.addonsdetector
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bigtincan.android.adfree
they aren't coming from tmobile i called them
what causes this? and how do i fix it ? arent the airpush defender apps supposed to pick this stuff up?
Obviously an app you've installed is pushing apps to your notification bar. Try
https://market.android.com/details?...GwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5sb29rb3V0LmFkZGV0ZWN0b3IiXQ..
It may or may not find it, any suspicious apps you've downloaded since it started?
Do you run an ad blocker? I remember I had a problem like that myself then realized I hadn't configured my ad block app since doing a fresh ROM install and poof no more push ads. Of course I may have removed the offending app as well, I think I was also testing a folder apps at the time as well. But in theory something like Ad Free should block it since it would be uploaded from the web and blocking the DNS of that ad would cause that ad to no longer be able to put itself on the phone.
It seems obivous but right?
Also any idea why my browser crashes constantly
I'm downloading the app recommended in the above post ill let ya know how it goes
OK so that app got some results but I don't know any of them? So where are they coming from?

Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalki messed with the app some more I see what apps are being naughty. But the problem I see is almost all of my apps have some sort of offending process
Astro being one that kinda bothers me clockwork rom manager being another. The apps I have aren't games or gimmicky things they are tools to use the phone bloat freezer was one I deleted it
So right now the apps that are offenders are:
Astro
Slider
Wifi analizer
Notes lite
Rom manager (cwm)
Are Droid
GSM signal monitor
Ant tek app manager
Try something called airpush detector from the market.
Hello I just got a One S yesterday. my old phone is a HTC HD2
I found the PDF of the users guide for this phone but as I am reading, I dont see the options they are talking about on my phone.
for example.....if you hit the apps button from the home screen you are "supposed" to be able to find something called "show Me" and "transfer" but I dont find this stuff.
my main issue right now is trying to find a way to transfer my contacts from my old phone to the new one. and no my contacts are not linked to google or anything else.
thanks for any help or comments,
Nicole
I don't undrstand why ud get such a nice phone and have to read the user guide loool u had the hd2 wats wrong with u lool anyway apps are organised alphabetically transfer will be on last page swipe right and there is also a search function u can use top right corner on all apps
I can't remember seeing show me but it must be there I've removed alot of stuff because of leedroid Rom what do you want to do ill help u out
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
thats the odd thing, from what I see neither of those exist on the phone. not on the app list and not when I search for them.
Should be ;/ check your boatloader are u unlocked ? Where did u get It from? When u set up phone the last step is transfer why didn't u do It?
Sent from my HTC One S using xda premium
I got the phone from a T-Mobile store. The guy there started up the phone to make sure it was working. I think I am stuck manually entering everyone. Now I am also stuck with all my facebook people synced on here by accident. Searched the forum and all ways to fix this don't seem to work either. Darn it. Lol. Nothing seems to be going good for me
Dowload ruu and flash it will put u exactly how it should be

The How To seems to download pdf instructions (didn't try), Transfer is a phone to phone sync.
Bell (Canada) doesn't seem to **** around with phones too much, the only thing I can tell they install is the "Mobile TV" app (maybe sympatico.ca too, I don't have a sympatico e-mail with them), which is included in my monthly plan (10 hours a month, does not add to data). HBO is 5$. It has a couple dozen channels for free (could watch the stanley cup live on it).
I can't remember anything pre-installed on my Legend when I got it either.
That's odd. So those exist on some of the one.s phones but not all. I definitely don't see them on mine
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using XDA
I guess T-Mo removed those apps and didn't remove it from the user's guide.
I still have transfer on LeeDroid custom rom
Maybe someone smarter than me can get OP the app
But, there are some transfer apps in Play Store
I did see a setting somewhere when I set up accounts not to sync Facebook etc--forget where--
The title pretty much sums it up.
I like to get caught up with a few specific rom-threads when I get a few minutes at work, but last night (at work), my GS3 wouldn't load the pages properly using the phones browser. No worries at the time, I figured I'll just catch up on my pc when I get home. So now I'm home on my pc, but I still get the same jumbled up pages. I am so not happy.
I use Firefox on the pc, but tried Chrome browser, and even IE-10. Cleared cookies and cache but get the same thing on all of em. Obviously I am not the only one this is happening to, so any info is appreciated.
I'm just hoping it's all back to normal when I get up tomorrow.
But tonight, I might actually have a problem getting to sleep without my daily dose of xda lol.
Edit- twitter said something about the hosting company doing something to the network.
a suggestion.
google play has a application for these forums, if you download that, that will help fix the display problems
hope that helps

Appreciate it and I already have a themed xda app, I just really prefer the phones browser. I might only spend 10-15 minutes browsing xda at work, so the phone not displaying it properly isn't that big a deal. But it's 8am here and still not displaying correctly on my win7 pc (or the phone browser), so I'm open to suggestions or ideas or anyone who could tell me whats up with xda. Probably spend more time on xda then almost all my other sites combined,so I'm pretty bummed right now.
It is not showing up properly for me either:

yup same.
Oh I thought it was just me...
Really, no one knows why all of a sudden xda isn't displaying properly? This is really annoying so maybe a mod will check in and let us know what is going on. As it is right now, the forum is really hard to follow and is basically unreadable.
Someone please help with this
Here's the solution for anyone still needing it. Thanks to clankfu for answering my post in the Sprint GS3 MOAR thread.

There is also one called "Blackberry Messenger" but the reviews about that are that the applications crash when starting.
All of the versions in the screen are from 20 september.

They are all fakes, just wait till the official version appears on the marketplace.
From what I've read, the official version would be BlackBerry Messenger (capital B in Berry). Most likely the developer would be RIM. A couple of hours left.
XperiaGo
JB.1.100 / Phantom Kernel 1.1.3
Stock, unlocked, and rooted.
As has been posted Several Times in Several Threads, BBM is NOT in the Play Store at the moment- those are all fakes (Check the Developer Pages for proof). BBM is going live for android in 70 mins - regardless of TimeZone.
To be sure, the app will appear from THIS developer (aka the official BlackBerry Limited): https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=BlackBerry Limited&hl=en
Also, you should be able to download it from the official Blackberry Website here:
http://us.blackberry.com/bbm.html?lid=us:bb:bbm&lpos=us:bb:bbm
Some users have managed to use the service for a few mins at a time through the leaked app, while Blackberry was doing "Server Maintenance/Checks" in anticipation of the launch. However, it has NOT been consistent. The service will ONLY work when the servers go live. Once again, this will be in 70 minutes- regardless of Time Zone
not launch yet
No wonder they are going down

Is it just me or does the ongoing notification keep disappearing for the rest of you folks who got the leaked to work? Feels like the app keeps getting killed and restarted.

If you all insist on going crazy over this little app, at least keep it in one thread. There is no need for a dozen threads with download links from a dozen different places.

And I'm going to be lazy and copy/paste this closing message in them all. :good:
I don't know what updated today, but now I can't do anything without this dialogue popping up. If I click "Decline", it will just popup again within seconds no matter which app I'm in. It'll pop up when I'm doing anything, but if I wanted to force it to pop up to show you, all I would have to do is take a picture, and it will pop up either while I'm trying to take it, or just after. This made me think it was the camera, but I can be in iHeartRadio and it will pop up.
I know it's Samsung specific because it mentions "Samsung" in the Terms and Conditions, but it doesn't mention that app or service it pertains to. It is the worst ever, and I don't want to Accept it just to make it go away.
Any ideas on a solution?

Thanks. I even searched here for both threads and posts with "enhanced features" and nothing came up. I didn't search the Edge section, though.
For those that don't go to that link, this is the solution they give:
All you have to do is check the box agreeing to the terms and conditions, and then tap the agree button. Yes, this means you’ve just opted into the service. Then, however, you can open the Contacts app and tap on your own profile, which will appear at the top of the list.
Now, simply tap on Profile sharing and slide the toggle to off and you’ll disable the new enhanced features.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The only problem is, I followed the directions, and after trying to turn Profile Sharing off, I got a spinning circle that finally ended with Profile Sharing back on. If this happened within my 14day BestBuy return period, I'd be heading in to exchange this for an iPhone 6+. This is not good, Samsung.
android police posted work around
Per Android Police there is a work around for the issue.
The popup is for the "Enhanced Features" component that includes Simple Sharing. This feature lets you push large files and profile information to your contacts. A lot of people probably just agree the first time it appears, but the fine print is clear that agreeing means your phone number, messages, and contacts will be collected by Samsung. - per android police there is a work around to stop it. -androidpolice.com/2015/05/11/some-galaxy-s6-owners-are-being-plagued-by-a-samsung-popup-that-reappears-every-few-minutes/
