is there an easy way of identifying which application generates spam messages that appear in the notifications?

I've found a example on this site on how to make a subclass of the application for android.
I've created this code
package mensand.test;
class TestApp extends android.app.Application { }
Added this line to the manifest
android:name="mensand.test.TestApp"
And when i run the app it's starts with a force close message.
When i remove the line from the manifest all runs ok

I have had the same mobile number for about 10 years and only ever had one problem with spam text messages, that was 7 years ago. However, since moving onto Android I have received a message every few weeks. Usually they are about wiping debts or accident law suits and come from standard mobile numbers, not premium ones. Is this just a coincidence or have I been lax in some form of personal security with apps or 3G Internet?

There seems to be plenty applications for removing SMS Spam on the market, but are there any for blocking email Spam?

I have done a battery pull, as well as restarted, and rechecked the boxes for repeat sound notifications for my text messages. The repeat sound is set at every 2 minutes. I do receive the original sound notification, but, I never get the subsequent notices. Verizon is at a loss...gee imagine that...But, at the same time, the Haptic (vibrating touch) randomly unchecks it's box and I lose that function about every 2-3 days also.

I have set this phone up with my works exchange server without hassle but Ive found that the list that appears when I try to move an email sorts by name rather than by the structure as per exchange.
Ie if I have a couple of root folders and all contain a folder such as staffing - when I go to move an email to a folder on my nexus s its sorted by name so I have 3 staffing folders in a row and no way to identify which belongs to which.

A couple nights ago, I installed a picture frame widget from the Market. Nice black frame, just what I wanted. Since then I've been getting unsolicited Spam texts. I don't know for sure, though, if its the widget causing the trouble. The reason I suspect it now is that there was no screen detailing what types of permissions the app had when I chose to install. I didn't think anything of it at the time, since it was supposed to be basically an inert widget. Now I'm regretting my naivete. So, I've uninstalled the pic frame (and Messaging Widgets just to be safe). Anything else I should do at this point? I don't do any banking or buying on my phone, but still.

Since I reset my phone a few weeks ago, I get "Application updates available" notifications every day at 8:50am.
I cannot switch them off. I have disabled notifications in Google Play -> Settings -> Notifications, yet I still get them every day at the same time.
I am running Android 2.3.5 on a HTC Desire S, with HTC Sense Version 3.0

I am using Eclipse and trying to run one of the examples. However, when I do, it generates many errors.
I am trying to test using the AlarmController.java file. Do I need to create a project with all the same names and classes within this java file? Or is there a project already created somewhere in the SDK I should be trying to run?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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)"

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?

Since I upgraded to ICS and rooted, I've been getting this message:
How can I block or remove this?
Tried resetting the phone and it kept on repeating.
The other question: I am getting SMSs from some web site trying to turn me into an orthodox jew, is there any way to block these SMSs?

I am looking for an APP that will beep or vibe me when I fail to check a text message, e-mail or miss a phone call. I get some calls and texts and then if I do not answer them right away, I would like an alert. As it is right now, I get one alert or beep and that is it.

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?

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.

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?

The only thing I've been able to find is how to change the default alert. Ideally I'd like one sound for email and another for text messages. It was pretty easy to set this on BB.
