General :: How To Get Rid Of Notification Spam

Sep 16, 2012

Every day after I unlock the screen I get full screen ad and two notifications with ad. I have no app installed which can show notifications which makes it really strange (a virus?). How to diagnose which app is causing it?

I used AppBrain Ad Detector and some Airpush detectors but they didn't find anything. Those ads are in violation with Google Play policy (they don't show which app is doing it), so I would also like to know which app is causing it - not only how to stop it, so I can report it.

General :: Spam Ads In Notification Bar For IPad2

Dec 28, 2011

I just switched to Verizon from att less than a week ago and got a motorola razr. I'm new to android phones, ive had iPhones since the original one came out and its taking sometime getting use to it.

I got a notification today. I can't really remember what the notification said but i clicked on it. when I clicked on it, my browser opened up and a small box popped up and said Congrats att customers you have won the android give away for a pad 2. The web page was how to claim your prize. I know it was spam so I closed the window.

I just want to know why I'm getting this? I haven't downloaded many apps yet. I'm still learning all the settings.

General :: Zombie Lands Notification Spam

Jul 3, 2012

Just got an unexpected "message" in the notification area. From the icon in the bar (Green bubble with smiley), I suspect that it was GO SMS.

The highlighting is theirs, not mine!

A quick search found [URL] .... that also believe that it was a GO product.

If that is the case, too bad -- they had good product, but seem to be pushing their own cloud (can't backup your SMS/MMS locally any more), and now, perhaps, other products a bit too heavily. Confirm the origin of this?

Is there a way to determine where it came from, should it appear again? (Unfortunately it had rolled off logcat by the time I thought to check there)

Addons Detector identifies GO Contacts EX as "Custom PushAds (Bobgame)"

General :: Spam SMS Containing Random Symbols?

Apr 8, 2012

About four-five days ago I've began receiving text messages from the number "9999999999".(I'm aware it's not a real number) The texts always contain random symbols, no actual words. It's not a foreign language, it's honestly pure symbols. They had hit the 100mark as of yesterday. 100 text messages received from this nut. I receive them at all times of the day and my number is on the do not call list. (not sure if that applies to texting, but yeah..)

I did not reply to them until yesterday where I sent stop, end, #, etc in attempt to end the madness. I've also blocked the number "9999999999" using my phone providers websites. All my attempts to prevent the texts have failed. I still get them from the same 999 number.

Example of such text is

"� `P �� € 13 ƒƒcK �K{q{�s!s� skk™kk+›› ;( |$o��$d � +�r33q��3;R�
)ƒ� lŒH� Y‰� �ɡ�‘ � z��‚)�‚bjp 4T p
�l@, DŽ C�� �y{kk›"

While doing a google search that contained a small portion of a text I've received, THESE are the result. Broken webpages with the same symbols I receive just in a different order. I want two things to be honest... A method to stopping this and to know what the text is written in so maybe I could decode it and find out what each text says. I want them both equally the same.

General :: HTC Android Spam Popup

May 25, 2012

At what seem like random times a pop up message "Looks like you forgot to declare the Millennial Media MMAdViewOverlayActivity in your manifest file" comes on my screen.

I have googled the error and it seems to be attributed to either Angry Birds, Barnes and Noble or ubersoft.

I dont have any such software on my phone....... In fact I dont have that much software at all on my phone.

General :: Report Mail As No Spam In GMail ICS App?

Mar 1, 2012

The GMail-App on my Xoom and my Nexus S (both with Android 4.0.3) is driving me crazy. In former times I could easily report mails as no spam.

That doesn't work anymore. Instead I guess it should be possible to mark the mails and label them as "Inbox". But that doesn't work, either. With some luck, it works with 1 or 2 mails, but the rest stays in SPAM, even though at first they disappear from the spam-folder.

Isn't there a way to do that? Why is there no real option to mark the mails as no spam?

I just noticed today that there's a folder appearing in my Gallery entitled 'images'. I have no idea where these images have come from as they're all broken files, but every time I try to delete the folder completely, it reappears immediately. Do I have a virus on my phone? how to permanently delete these files?

General :: Some Rogue Apps Sending Spam SMS To Contacts

Dec 23, 2013

m running avast and lookout premium and they cant find anything! ive looked through running apps and cant find anything obviously amiss. its sending messages like "do you know this hot sl*tty bird? then with some dodgy link i havent clicked on. i havent downloaded any apps recently but i surf a lot on my phone so maybe a dodgy site i went to? the messages it sends are not showing up on my phone, the people im sending them to are showing me.

i have a goodybag with texts so currently not a major problem for me, more for my contacts, but im flying to australia tomorrow so will be a MAJOR problem then. I have apps that i have had a longgg time on an email address i cant access anymore so dont want to factory reset as ill lose them forever.

i found a shortcut on my phone to an app named liiiioioo l kk Pl l.ioin l oii...im tempted to delete that but im sure thats just a shortcut right? went through manage apps and no app i have named this. Cant really do the limit privelages to apps one by one as i get no notification when they send a msg so hard to police like that.

General :: Block Spam Text From Random Number?

Apr 6, 2012

I somehow (knowingly or unknowingly) touched & dialled a number from an adult content app and then hung up. Since that day, I keep getting text msgs from different numbers, with lewd text & asking me to call a number (constant across all these sms-es). I block the number using MyVerizon number blocking service; but in 2-3 days I get similar text, asking me to call the same number, from a different number. I keep on blocking this new number (from where the text came) and they keep on sending same text from a different number. This keep on increasing my text bill.

If I reply to one of those texts saying "STOP", as the verizon customer care rep suggested, wouldn't that flag my number as LIVE and they'll start sending me more texts?How about using sms blocker apps? Again, question there is - do the sms blocker apps just delete spam msgs upon receiving and will I still incur the sms cost in my bill?

General :: Major Mayhem (not Spam) Restore Saved Games After Crash?

Nov 9, 2012

Basically, I have a HTC One X with Jellybean Rom installed and have found that you can run the battery out completely even if it's on ac charge. I was playing the game for ages and the ph switched off. I thought it might have been overheating but it turns out that I had to boot into clockwork recovery to charge for a bit before I could boot the phone normally. Quad core burns battery power really quick.

I did this playing Mayhem and when I reloaded it I found all my saves were gone. I've spent heaps of time building up my accomplishments in this game. tell me the save game file strutucre so I can see if it's renamed/corrupt/missing or something? The game appears functional but I've probably spent 80 hrs on it building up the rep.how I could track programs install pathways?

Android :: App Comment Spam

Oct 22, 2010

I've noticed that a lot of comments on top apps are from comment spammers. When is something going to be done about this market wide problem? There are probably less than 20 of these users who hit virtually every top app with comment spam. My app is getting hit every single day by these people. It's really getting annoying.

General :: Hide Notification Icon Without Hiding Actual Notification

Aug 16, 2013

Is it possible to hide just the notification icon without hiding the notification itself from pulldown?

Use case: Yahoo Weather app, the persistent notification in the pulldown is beautiful. I want it to always be there. However, the little temperature notification icon is pretty ugly, and I want to hide/disable it.

Using JB's "disable notifications" won't work since it will disable the entire notification, not just the icon.

Android :: Google Voice Spam

May 18, 2010

Here's the deal:I am new Voice user, just got in last weekend with the Google Voice for Students thing. I set up a GV number for safekeeping but I'm not using it for calls or SMS. Voice is only set up on my Incredible to handle voicemail. So, tonight, I got a notification on my phone. Upon looking, I see that there's a message in Voice despite having not received any call. It's from an unknown number and obviously a spam message.

Two questions:

1.) How did this message get to me? i.e. did someone text my GV number or what?

2.) Is spam going to be a big problem with Google Voice? If so, I'm afraid I will very quickly switch back to my carrier's service.

Android :: Framerate Killed By OnTouchEvent Spam

Apr 27, 2009

I've got a problem with a flood of touch events destroying my game's framerate while there is a touch active. Basically onTouchEvent is called (with getAction = ACTION_MOVE, x = 0 and y = 0) about a hundred times a second for as long as the finger is touching the screen. I've tried returning from onTouchEvent straight away, and even removing its implementation at all, but it doesn't help - the app slows to a crawl as soon as a finger is down. I asked on the IRC channel and Romain Guy advised me that they're aware of the problem but didn't have time to fix it for Cupcake, so I'm not expecting a full solution!

Android :: Creative Ideas For Stopping Email Spam?

Oct 19, 2010

I'm trying to help someone who'd like a way to stop email spam from reaching his Android phone. I understand this is usually best done from the email server side of things, but this is where we are right now. This is regarding his work email, and I've suggested that he have gmail fetch it for him so they can filter it (does this work for fetching? I know it works great for emails sent directly to gmail), alas, he says he only has an imap server and no Pop3 server for gmail to fetch. I looked in the market and found only one not terribly highly rated app for filtering email spam on Android phones. If you've tried that email filtering app, it worked?
