Are you rooted? Try to install firewall like DroidWall - Android Firewall and block the app to access via 3G, or you could also try avast! Mobile Security BETA, they also have a firewall (to rooted phones only) included.

Out of curiosity .. please don't tell me your distraught that the maps are being downloaded when you're using the application? Because if so ... :-/ ... your phone hasn't got a built in world map. -_-"

Looks like airpush ( http://www.airpush.com/ ). Install any new apps recently? Have any apps that ask for these permissions:
INTERNET
READ_PHONE_STATE
ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE
RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
plus optionally these:
VIBRATE
ACCESS_COARSE_LOCATION
ACCESS_FINE_LOCATION
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Of those the boot completed one would stand out the most. One way to try and find out would be to reboot the device and then immediately check what apps are running before doing anything else.
http://www.airpush.com/
What apps do you have installed? When you find the one doing it post the name of it so everyone can report it as malware
I hacked up a simple app that will search for installed apps using airpush: http://kllrnohj.com/android/FindAirpush.apk
(for those so inclined, the is source here: http://kllrnohj.com/android/FindAirpush.zip )

Ok it's an app called "easy filter call and SMS blocker" which had now been removed from my phone.
It does mean I now need to find a new way to block my mum's calls and texts.

There are tons of call blockers out there, have you tried the root call blocker app? Not sure if it blocks sms as well, but I've heard great things about it. You can always use Handcent or another SMS app and blacklist the numbers you want to block.

Thank you for this great service.. You've helped me regain my sanity!

[Solved] What is causing morning solicitations of Apps?

Screen shot attached.
I've gone through my running applications, stoped any that I thought even might have something to do with it, but it is still there. With my work hours, I sleep till 11a. So it shows up sometime between 5a and then. Yesterday the green plus sign was a red star. Same advertisement type stuff.
Clicking on the link it goes from ad.leadboltapps.com something or another to some other app url to something with a .UK and them to the Play Store.

NFL HD Wallpapers was the culprit according to that app. Never had that issue before on my previous phone. Hopefully it is gone now. Thank you!

Add [SOLVED] to the title so others know there is a solution attached to this thread ...
cool !!! nice post
I've had "Go Keyboard" spam me with ads too. Root and permission management (permissions Pro on market) cured it, but w/o root, then you basically get rid of the app or live with spam...
Later,

AirBlocker from the play store has worked well for me.
Ringdroid uses air push ads. Download the app AddOns Dectector to see what apps use what kind of ads

The spam comes and goes, try the same app after they update it and see if it's good to go or it still sends spam. It's part of the free Android world....

ok, if the google apps were working fine before and just stopped working, give it time. two weeks ago many google services stopped working for nearly a full day for many(including myself), then started back up. it was a google server issue.
Hmm...
Still not working... anyone else experiencing similar problems?
Try checking your time and date...my son often has a similar problem because his time/date always resets to 1/1/2011 and he cant use gapps until the date is fixed.

Facebook app virus alert/google detected a virus popup

(SOLVED) SHE WIPED HER PHONE.
My girlfriend and I where discussing an old app I went to go find it, found an apk because the app is no longer available on the market, installed it, it refreshed her memory of it, so then she was scrolling through the facebook app for android when a popup (thread topic) came up from her feed like an app starting up she said something to me, I checked it out, while doing so I checked the running windows it showed up with facebook in the background, but the popup had no app name it was blank, so I closed it out, uninstalled the app I had recently put on there, downloaded a few anti-virus apps, and anti-malware apps and ran them nothing came up on anything, so figured was all good until she was scrolling facebook again, and the same thing happened.
Am I missing a step far as removing this problem, I read somewhere that a lot of old apks are interwoven with malware, and also open a back door to steal info.
During the last scan the phone died as I got to the charger, now waiting on it to charge up.
Has anyone dealt with an issue like this yet?

To me it looks like one of those ads like "fix your phone now, it has viruses that can steal your info"... I think it's just adware [emoji1]
Why would it only pop up while she's using facebook?
