Hi, I’m not too sure if it’s an app I have installed or not but I keep getting marketing notifications a lot (most nights)
It shows in the notification bar as a red star, it will be things like, win an ipad or win a phone etc.. if I tap it, it wants to just take me to a webpage to enter a draw, not sure how to get rid of it though as there no way I can find where its coming from and no options to stop as the notification just leads me to a website to enter a competition.
Has anyone else had this or know what it might be?
Thanks
James
Yup its an app that is doing it. Narrow it down to when they started and compare to what apps you downloaded that day and get rid of the app. Google should not allow developers to do this kind of crap. I understand developers have to make money but this crap is overly intrusive.

I was wondering if there would ever be an XDA application available to android on the market. Seems like it would be pretty sweet.
Anyone else think so?
Any developers out there that would like to give this a go?
well umm, its an alright idea, but since i own a nexus, browsing http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=556 is rather easy and fast with even low 3g signal
I understand its available to view on the nexus, I have one and it does do a good job for viewing. Just thought a native app would be nice to have.
It actually came out, Congrats to XDA for this milestone
yea i just downloaded it earlier this morning
its great in concept but it takes way to long to load the thread lists.
http://www.xda-developers.com/announcements/official-xda-developers-android-app-released-today/
i am typing on the official xda app right now and it works much faster to ne on my n1 than going through the browser. its funny how android got a workable official app before winmo did

yea I saw it on a Sig searched xda on the market and now I'm a happy camper. typing from the xda app right now
Never mind.. I was stupid for a second there.

This right here is the only reason I will not use this app. I don't need everyone knowing that I used the app to post on the site. Obviously if I posted I know about the website, and the only reason someone would use the app is if they liked xda developers, or simply wanted to post here.
So why do we need the extra notification, legal purposes? Advertisement? Credit?

Oh my gawd.. sorry for such harsh complaining without investigating. Now I will use the app, lol.
ya, i turned my off
I don't think I see the point to this. Wouldn't a mobile version of the webpage be enough for this? I certainly wouldn't want a separate app for every forum I visit.
Excellent. Worth downloading.
Wow, very nice app !!

you didn't rate the app on the marketplace before figuring this out, did you?
Is there any way to make it so that when you tap the Forums tab, that it goes to the Nexus One forum by default so we don't have to scroll through the list to find it?

My only complaint so far. I only every read the N1 stuff.
Same here..that and the text could be formatted better.
Let's Keep It Professional With This Thread Please!!
With That Said, Here's A Somewhat Brief Summary Of A Few Of These Markets I Posted....
Enjoy....
ApkShare:
I Like ApkShare Mainly Because Alot Of Apps I've Searched For On The "GM" (Google- Market) I Was Unable To Find, Until I Used This "ApkShare" App!
AppBrain:
This Is A App That I Really Didn't See The Purpose Of.... Mainly Because I Didn't Notice A Major Difference From The "GM" Until Recently.... When I Gave This App Another Shot And Actually Found It To Be Pretty Useful. I Found Adobe Flash, Bing, & A Few Others I Was Unable To Get From (GM) At The Time!
SlideMe:
SlideMe Is A Okay App....
I Came Across One Day When I Was *Fairly New* To Android,
And Thought I Knew Which System Apps Were Needed On My Hero, Lol.... Anyways I Mistakenly Uninstalled "HTC SENSE" (Launcher)
And I Had To Use The Internet To Get A "File Manager" Because I Couldn't Get Into (GM) Or Any Of My Other Apps! Anyways After Searching I Found SlideMe!
SlideMe Has Some Of The Same Apps As "GM" But On The Other Hand... Also Has Alot Of Apps Not Available On The "GM"
(May Be Non-Us Based??)
App Center:
I Used This App Here & There But, Honestly Can't Remember How Useful It Was!! Lol...
Appoke:
Although It's Not My Favorite,
It's A Decent Market..."I Think" They Just Recently Updated It With A Better UI??
Getjar:
I Like Getjar Because Of It's Size, It Doesn't Waste Alot Of Space When Installed! I Believe It's Basically A App That Connects You To It's Website??
WipAppStore:
This Is A App That Links You To Other App Markets!!
Worth Checking Out!!
My Market:
This App Allows You To Access Other Service Providers Markets For A Chance To View And Download Apps, That May Be Otherwise Unavailable To You!!
MarketAccess:
Almost On The Same Idea As The Previous App (Above)
But..... "The Difference Is"
This App Allows You To Change Your (Sim-Numeric-#) Anyways, I Think That's What Its Called??
Lol....
I Have Another Thread With Some Codes You May Find Useful With This App, If You Have A Problem Finding It PM Me For Help!!
Finally..... I've Been Asked About A Certain Market App (That Exists) Which Allows You To Get All Paid Apps For FREE, And Claims Their Markets For Pirates!! Lol, Cause You're *STEALING*!!!!!
Unfortunately......
For This Very Reason I've Decided Not To Post, Or Even Say It's Name!!
**Out Of Respect**
For "ALL" The Hard Working Developers!!
If You Want This One, You'll Have To Find It!
SORRY EVERYONE!!

why are people so concerned about Gingerbread? I bet at least half of the people who kept asking for Gingerbread does not even know why they wanted it. I'd like to see what is the main reason people need it. I understand it's the latest version and it got some cool features but does it really affect the phone that much? I'd rather ask LG to fix some of the issues they have now rather than the Gingerbread... just my 2 cents...
I thought the wordage (yes I did) of my tweet would display the humor in was going for. Now I did mean it don't let the smooth taste fool ya. But you guys are so he'll bent on making people feel stupid you didn't even notice it.
I didn't start this thread for scrubs to come in and flame. I want Gingerbread for the same reason I buy a new phone every 2-3 months. Because it's new. I know how to root my phone, I have every ROM stored on my phone so I can play with it in my spare time, but what's wrong with wanting an official update?
And don't you think an official update would come with bug fixes?
This forum has gone to ****, you ****ers need to get off your high horses and chill out. =D
But if you want a list.
Improved UI
Improved power management
Improved copy/paste
Those are the features I want. Keyboard seems nice too but I can download that now.
Anyways thanks for taking your time to try and ruin my day, but you failed.
On the brighter side of thews.
did you read about the guy who pocket dialed 911 while planning his next heist? Classic fail.

I agree.
I think LG rushed the phone out the market. It's time to get our phones working right with a update from LG
I just found a sweet program that will become extremely popular very soon.
its called " TigerText "

I agree totally with you. Another reason why I went back to stock messaging over gosms. What good are all of the emoticons if your sending it to someone who can't even see them.
This app is intended only to check security if your personal home network. Be responsible and never attempt use in a public place. Scenarios in the following text are for entertainment purposes only.
I know this has been around for a bit, but thus seems solid and working for everyone. It's Network Spoofer! Now picture this (this is being polIte) walking into a Starbucks or McDonald's and every single last image down to link ads us replaced by a picture of your favorite presidential candidate. No matter what they clIck or where they try to go every last link they can find sends them directly to your candidates campaign website! Ya, and that is just scratching the surface of what this app does. I mean I saw people get literally overly pissed off, loss of temper storming around!! IT'S TOO MUCH FUN TO PASS UP!!!

After installing the app, connect to WiFi and start it up. Root is needed, once granted it will download roughly 600mb of additional data to function properly. Once you choose your first weapon and ur ready to fIre, apply it to all devices and it will automatically identify your ip address as host and you can surf unscathed, mixing and matching pranks to adapt to the out of control, hilarious environment around you!!!
DO IT!!
