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

Notification problem on Facebook App Tap Login Screen

Hey guys, I have a problem I cannot seem to figure out.. Probably a week or two ago I stopped getting logged out notifications, I use the Tap login (saved password login) where it shows your picture and you tap it once to log in, the problem is it no longer shows the red dot with the number of notifications waiting anymore. Here are the things I've tried.
Going to APPS in Settings and checking that "Show Notifications" is enabled, which it is.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Went to in-app Settings and Notification Settings (assuming that even has any effect on Logged out notifications I'm not sure if it does or not.) Still appears to be ok settings.
Other things I've tried:
Clearing FB app cache.
Clearing FB app data.
Unintalling FB app completely (including files left after uninstall)
Reinstalling FB app.
Clearing Cache from Recovery Mode.
Factory Reset from Recovery Mode.
None of which has fixed the problem.
Here are some details that may be useful:
Phone: ZTE ZMAX2 (z958)
Android OS Version: 5.1 Lollipop
Facebook App version: 180.0.0.35.82
I thought maybe FB broke something in one of their updates or something but everyone knows FB has next to nothing as far as support, they do have the "report a problem" on facebook but you always get an automated reply and never really know if your getting anywhere by reporting it. Also the developer email on google play but again with so many users I imagine the amount of support emails I doubt they are able to monitor them efficiently.
Anyone have any ideas whatsoever as to what the problem could be? Could it be an android setting somewhere that is blocking the apps logged out notifications? Or possibly app not syncing?
Any help would be appreciated.

bump... Anyone?

there must be some app keep push messages, but you turn this app's notification off (by system notification setting, not in app's setting). so the screen lights up, but nothing there. maybe it's a bug. You could turn all apps' notification on in system setting, and turn off pushing in app's setting. if you still receive messages, then that app is the murder, uninstall it.

I have the exact same thing happen, only happening since the Android 10 update.. I've reinstalled using oxygen updater just to confirm everything is ok.. but I still have this issue.

Unable to disable Emergency Alerts on T-Mobile

Hello all,
In need of your kind help. I'm unable to disable the Emergency Alerts messages on my unlocked A71 5G with a T-Mobile SIM.
I need to disable them because this is a phone I take to school and don't want to be in the middle of a class with the phone going crazy
with the different emergency alerts we get in Texas almost every single day.
I already tried to follow the online instructions for the specific phone and network:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But when I get to it, the option is grayed out and won't let me turn it off:
What else do I need to do disable these alerts?
Thanks.

Welcome to XDA
Use Package Disabler or a ADB edit.

Thank you. I see several apps with those names will try the ones with best reviews.

This one works. Not on playwhore
Home - Package Disabler
The only NON-root solution that let’s you disable any unwanted packages that come pre-installed / installed with your phone / tablet.

It's nice because you can disable/enable on the fly. Helpful when troubleshooting. Can completely clear data including null marks that you can't clear in settings; it can repair some system apks that otherwise would require a factory reset because of this.
Has a interactive widget that lets you toggle on/off preselected apks. Low battery consumption.
It will run in safe mode so be a bit careful what you disable. I never had to do a factory reset because of this app but the only way to disable it is in Security under Device Admin Apps.

You can disable emergency alerts directly in Settings, not through notifications. Go to Settings -> Notifications -> Advanced Settings. Here, go into "Wireless Emergency Alerts" on the bottom of the page. You can directly disable and customize the alerts.

Thank you, my problem was that the phone was brand new an unused for almost a year so there were several updates missing to the OS and once the phone was up to date I had the option to disable the emergency alerts.
Thanks again.

Changing Default Apps

I'm trying to change the default calling app on either my Tablet (Vankyo Z1) or Phone (Note 20 Ultra) to use Talkatone. I Understand Android doesnt seem to allow this switch in general, but can it be done with rooting or custom rom? Ive noticed that this seems to be universal, but no real reason why it is set this way and unadjustable. Any help is appreciated.

AFAIK Vanco Z1 is running Android 8.1 and Note 20 Utra is running Android 13.
Nevertheless, on both devices , without further ado , to change your default calling app / dialer, you
Open Settings.
Select Apps or search for Default apps in the Search bar.
Open Default apps. On some skins, you can find Default apps settings under the 3-dots menu.
Open Phone or Dialer.
Select the app you prefer as your default by toggling it.

Thanks so much for the reply! But on both of my devices, no other calling apps are available in the final part of your instructions. I noticed the "set default apps" on the app menu, however when it comes to the phone, there are no other options. I assume this is a block by the system, do you know how I may overcome this?
