What is this process that I see many apps are leaving behind on exit and has to be manually closed? Why does it exist?
Comon anyone?? As an example where's my water leaves this process behind on exit.

In app purchases with Google wallet. It shouldn't be in running apps, just in cached apps so no biggie.

Sadly it's in running apps until I manually kill it. Currently apart from wheres my water it happens with another app "wallpaper changer".

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The process gets triggered every time I open the app.
These 2 are apps from very established devs so it cant be spam.
Hmm not cool. Somebody else might chime in on this, but I can see why you wouldn't want it running if it sticks when you exited the app. :/
Edit: I believe you would need to contact the app coders to fix this issue. Other apps that have billing work fine, so they're likely stopping the service properly unlike WMW and wallpaper changer.
For the reference, WMW has been through numerous patches, so it's not really a matter of spam rather than sometimes shoddy coding.

Yes I suppose this is correct I have many other apps as well with in app purchasing options and they dont do this.
Thanks for the input.
If somebody else also knows about this then do chime in.
Bought wheres my perry in the ongoing sale and it does the same thing. :|
The stupid billing service process is that process which are not give desired results. That means which not meet our need.

This spams my notification and status bar when a. I restart phone or b. I turn off all radios and the enable again.
It has to be a third party app I have. Anyone else seen this before? Antivirus programs don't see anything wrong.
Thanks.

I would use droidwall and disable apps that you think is the problem. There is no way for you to know that it works unless it reproduce it self i think there is also another firewall app that does dynamic blocking but it is still buggy Hope you find the root of the problem.
I had that problem on my other phone when I had an mp3 downloading app. Do you have of those installed? I would check that out.

ok i had the same problem heres how to fix it go to the market and download "airpush detector" install it and run it. what it will do is pull the app/apps that are causing the issue then you can just uninstall them.
You def have a rogue app somewhere.
Look through /data/app folder for anything that you don't recognize or looks suspect. Also look through you Application Manager. If you don't remember installing it, unistall it...the worst thing that can happen if it was something you use is you lose you settings. I think that is worth it to prevent possibly losing your identity (not trying to scare you)
Yep I have a mp3 downloaded app. Uninstall!!

Yep, I thought so. Thats what I had on my old phone.
I have it. No mp3 app, though. Spam is lame as hell.
So guys here are some screen shots of some notifications I keep getting daily. It takes me to a website offering my a free ipad.
Hoping you may recognize this and be able to help me locate the culprit.
Mant thanks in advance

Amazing, now I just received a new one.....
1.Have a look if you have unchecked Google AdMobs in Playstore Settings
2. Try "Airblocker" from the Playstore
These steps worked for me in a similar case.
Thanks will try, but why is this even happening?
The app located Sky Map Pro as the culprit so uninstalled that, so hope it works.
Never experienced this with the iPhone. Shame on Android for letting such apps through the approval process!
If we compare Play to iTunes Store - there is no approval process here ( there is, but compared to iOS it's like there is none ). Everyone can publish their apps of every kind - no restriction, no "you can't do this or that" from Google.
You have to be careful what you install. There is always the option to report an app - and then Google will take a loot at it, so i'd suggest you do that.
Hey, you guys are so lucky! Fee iPads!
I had this a while ago with a game I downloaded online (an iPhone port, not a paid app) and it kept happening out of nowhere!
Use a "task manager" or "task killer" app from the market and close any open apps one by one until you see the notification disappear. That way you'll find out which app is poisoning your phone, and you delete it straight away.
Problem solved and make sure you let people in this thread know, so if they have the same app causing this issue, then they can delete it immediately.
Hope that helps

thats how i solved it
i had that problem.
very simple ...
when u press on the notification its using the spam app to open the link.
after u press the notification
press long press on the home menu, u will see the last used apps. check the last one on the list.
thats the Spam one ! ! !
I had these before and always after a reboot....
Then I went to Play store and installed Airpush Detector. Check and Uninstalled those ad-wares.
It's gone now!
Thanks for all the great replies guys. I really appreciate it, cheers
I'm a developer who distributes free and paid apps on the Play Store, and have recently been seeing accusations that my apps use notification bar advertising.
MY APPS DO NOT USE THIS TRASH AND NEVER WILL.
I actually have avoided advertising altogether, (I'm using the free-lite-version/paid-full-version model).
I want to put some apps on a test phone that actually do use notification bar ads to determine if this is simply random chance or if perhaps these apps are doing more nefarious things like waiting for other APKs to be installed before pushing ads, or waiting until other app-processes are in the foreground before pushing ads. This may be difficult as I believe the push rate is fairly infrequent.
My wild guess is that these apps aren't that evasive, though their design is still to disassociate the advertising from the app that is its source. I imagine they simply delay a week or more before firing the first ad, and probably only do so if the device is asleep.

Edit: if you do know of any apps that do this, please post links here (on the Play Store or off). I have no idea what apps actually do this, and so far haven't run into any myself.
Thanks for your dedication. I will follow this thread and try to spread the word.
On my Samsung I long press the notification and i can see the app info of the app that actually sent the notification, maybe you can use this to know which apps are messing with yours

Thanks, but I actually don't have any such apps on my devices at this time...this is all coming from user reviews, so I don't actually know which other apps they have installed that might be firing the push ads.
http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/mjva1/list_of_known_airpush_enabled_infested_apps/)
BTW, I personally have a Tasker profile I enable/disable on need. It just logs all notifications with the notification's title and app, allowing me to detect airpush apps.
EDI: I remember some game kept sending chinese ads to my notification bar, and if I remember correctly, I had it for quite some time before it started doing so.. and it only started doing so after I installed another app. I'm not entirely certain about it as it happened a few months back, but now that you mention it, it might have been the same scenario.

Hi there. Recently, ads that look like the image above have been popping up insistently on my phone. Every single time i pick it up after an interval, the ad pops up and takes up the whole screen, unless i click "no, thanks" or "Back" or "Home" it won't go away.
I'm getting very frustrated and i have uninstalled about 90% of my apps. I installed cleanmaster to clean my system cache to get rid of any unwanted files and i run it all the time. I've also tried all the ad blockers/detectors on the play store but they cannot detect any sign of malicious software.
Any advice? I would really hate to do a factory reset but i would like to know the cause of the problem, if it's an app. What's the point of having an android if i can't install any apps?!
Any ideas on how i can get to the root of the problem? It's frustrating as f***.
what happens if you press the recents button? does it show any app or just not respond?

It opens a webpage. One of those annoying "contest" websites where you are asked to do quizzes or enter your number to win a prize.

And what about the other 10%? Check all your apps...
Have you rebooted after uninstalled the others?

Hum... It's on your side, not Android... You obviously downloaded something...
It's an app for sure, but we cant help you unless you show us the list of your remaining apps.
When you find it, just uninstall it. No need to clear cash or anything, it wont make a difference anyway. And if you got it from google play, you should report it since it is against their guidelines. https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/2479847?hl=en
If it is not from the play store e.g. some pirate app, I dont feel sorry for you... If it's a legitimate app from outside the playstore you should raise your concern with the developer.
currently my S20FE 5G is running a rooted stock based custom rom that has a few OneUI 4 elements in it somewhere, no idea what those actually are.
I'm getting some steep battery drain but otherwise I'm quite happy with the rom and want to keep it.
I've got a partial wakelock called VK_WakeLock, it's keeping the phone from sleeping when the screen is off. I searched for a while and can't find a method that would help me find the app that's causing it or even better the specific service or process.
if we know the name of a wakelock is there any terminal commands or apps that could lead me to a package / process name ?

I have background data off, I have a firewall that keeps the majority of apps without internet. most of my user apps (which aren't involved) don't do background stuff, so basically I've got no idea right now.

Try temporarily disabling Google play Services at night. It's a blood sucker, day and night.

it hasn't been a battery drain for me previously, if it was an update that brought this effect the internet would be full of posts regarding it. as it stands their are only a handful of search results for VK_WakeLock.

Well you know how I feel about updates...
You can try making sure all system apps are updated or roll them back to their factory load versions.
Clear system cache. Clear system app caches or data.
Find the root cause. You need to ID that apk responsible for your mystery name.
or
Factory reset and hope that gets it.
This is why I don't update. Cleaning up an update mess is time consuming.
