Spam in my notifications, nothing detected...

I have this annoying spam coming up every now and then, and I cant find the app responsible with the detector app...
Anyone seen this before?

Is it email, sms, or push spam?

I know you tried a detector. Did you try Airpush Detector? That one had never failed me.

Tried that one, shows nothing.

That's it... most of it are from legit companies or Google... no idea what this could be from!
Also, the ads are for apps from the playstore - "sexy cutie (live)" and "run run bear" (both of which appear to be made by the same developer).
Thanks for your help!

It may be widgetlocker, try to uninstall it and see if you get it again

Same here, intermittent but annoying.
choosing the notification takes you to the Google play app page
Edit:
Might be GoKeyboard, I think it started after i turned it on.

Sorry. Just looked at the pic. That it's not push.

Got rid of widgetlocker and it looks like it's stopped!
I paid for widgetlocker so this is ridiculous!

Are you sure? I have widget locker on my Droid x and my kindle fire and I don't get spam.

sexy cutie - spam
I don't have that widgetlocker, but I receive this spam,
Did anyone solve the issue??? I have uninstalled GO SMS Pro, but seems like something else making it appear in the notification bar...

Go to the Play Store and download Lookout's Ad Detector. It should scan your apps and tell you.

I am guessing the same, could be Go Launcher or Go Keyboard. Coz i also have them installed.

Absolutely Go Keyboard. I used Addons Detector - Notification Monitor, and it showed:

Too bad, now I have to delete all GO-stuff..

Ditto. I use Go-SMS as my texting app and used to use Go Launcher on my GS2.

It is the Go stuff eh?
Welp, Bye bye go... eat my ass.
Thanks guys.

Messenger App - What to Freeze?

I have an app in my drawer called "Messenger" - it has a red icon with a white text bubble and plus sign in it.
I don't use this (I use google voice and the messaging app only.
I can't find this app in TB to freeze it. Anyone know what app it's called in there for me to freeze?

Pretty sure that's Google plus. Try that

oh... maybe. i want google plus though. this may be part of google plus though and so i may be stuck with it.

Ya that's part of Google +

Most launchers will let you hide apps from your app drawer. That's what I did to it.

Hello,
I'm getting Ads in the notification bar. Do you know how can I know what is the app that is doing this?
Thanks

You can download the AdAway app in market, if you are rooted, or searching in google for every app you have installed recently.

Addons Detector or AirPush Detector will tell you which app/theme/etc. is responsible.

I heard that google did something about that. It was carried by an app(s) that you downloaded. Apparently, they told the app devs to take them off in a certain timeframe, or else they'll be removed from the play store. And ad blocker apps, that I know of, can't block those ads either. At least, adfree doesn't.

It's true, but with adaway you can select the option "scan for adaware". It' simple, it can tell you the adware app or apps you have installed. The second solution is usin rom toolbox with the option autostart manager and find the app. Then you must long press the app, go to advanced and disable some receivers of the app. For example "Airmob". This isn't very simple, but with a few try you can stop these annoying ads in the statusbar. I did this with Mosquito killer and now it works. Usually it FC when it must send you an ad in the statusbar, but the app works fine.

You can always go to applications > running and close them one by one to see which one it is

XDA Premium App 4

I recently installed the premium app. I noticed I wasn't getting any in-app notifications to the threads I'm subscribed to. Under the @notifications tab, the notifications show, but these don't show up in the notification bar. I also use Dash Clock. They don't show up on the lock screen.
Notifications work fine with the free app, though. Can anyone advise?

I`ve had to use the TapaTalk app to get working Notifications. I`ve had the Premium XDA App for several years now. But Have always had NO or DELAYED notifications.

There is a thread for these issues here:

Thanks for the useless reply.
Found a better solution though: xposed gel settings from the play store.

understood, and you're right - so perhaps I across a bit harsh on my initial reply, so I apologize to bigv5150 for that.
however, my point was that I really enjoy the google search launcher, just don't like the latest update with the all white search bar nor the all white app drawer - and just wanted to share that with others and see if there was a way to make them transparent again. fortunately, I found the solution in the Xposed GEL app - which of course, requires the Xposed module installed, which also requires root.
after installing the xposed gel app, I was able to remove the search bar all together and change the app drawer background color scheme.

You can uninstall the update putting it back to the version you had before the update. That's what I did. You keep the previou search bar. That's what I said, don't read more into it.
