For the last 2 days I have been receiving a butt ton of advertisements that show up in the notification bar as stars. I did download 4 apps the other day but I uninstalled them. Does anyone know how to stop this? I'm on 905 rooted and running eclipse 3.0.

I forget what it's called, but there's an app that will scan for these and tell you what program is causing them. I know that doesn't help. Ultimate Special FX (best app ever) has ads like that, but you can disable them in the app's settings.
Those are 'airpush' notifications. There's an app in the Play Store to check and find which apps are doing them. Can't remember what it's called but search for 'airpush'.
Airpush detector will tell you which apps are causing the ads, airpush opt-out, will supposedly block the ads

Thanks! I had downloaded the bionic tcp buffer tweak app just to try it out and come to find out it was that one. Since I deleted the app no more have shown up. Thanks again!

To add to this, I just found out there is another company that is pushing these ads to your notification bar. Going to opt.leadbolt.com and entering your imei, you can opt out of these ads too.

i get ads from leadbolt and i saw it told me to opt out at leadbolt. Buti don't feel safe giving out my imei. has anyone tried it?
edit:
i downloaded airpush from the playstore and it showed which apps have ads behind them. i think i'll just uninstall those apps.
Leadbolt also has an app that takes their ads off your phone. I can upload it to my dropbox and let you guys download if you need me to. Boy are those notification ads annoying.

I've never really shared anything from my dropbox before so let me know if it works.

For anyone who doesn't know, you will need 2 apps to get rid of push notifications. You will need both the airpush optout app and the leadbolt optout app. Both ad networks push notifications to your phone and it gets real annoying when you have several apps that pop them up. With the optout apps, you can get rid of the ads without having to uninstall any of your apps that are pushing them.

Can anybody provide a list of apps (e.g from LG) that is useless and can be safely removed in v10f? Thanks
What don't you want? You can get rid of anything that doesn't effect the uses of say the phone or system UI etc

Just a bit scared that it may not function properly if I remove builtin apps any how.

I will have a look at all the apps ive removed and try to get a list up for you soon

Just take care guys. For example, on mine, removing the "Maps" or "Navigation", makes that no other GPS works.

First froze them. If they don't make any difference being frozen you can uninstall them.
Like that, if you find yourself in trouble, just need to go back and un-froze them again.
For that I use Root Uninstaller Pro, is very easy to use. And you can combine with AntTek Explorer to delete the app directory or data directory.
AntTek Explorer is also good to see all the files that Polaris Office don't show, like Root, etc...
thanks!

Thanks a lot buddy, as i read the whole thread and some links i traced i got to know that it may be raised up by some malicious infected apps i've recently installed. Will uninstall them right now, and i hope the issue will be gone and there won't be a need for a full wipe.
Thanks again for your help.

So, I am new to Android, just switched after having every single iPhone variant, and finally got fed up with Apple. I currently have the Galaxy Note 3 for AT&T. Its an awesome phone but I am having issues with Hangouts. I cant seem to send or receive MMS's without the app crashing on me. I have downloaded the update thru Google Play and it doesnt even give me the SMS options. Downloaded the actual APK and it seemed to work fine, until MMS got involved. I am about ready to throw this phone out of my 19th story window. I hate the Samsung stock msg app. It never seems to want to download any MMS's
PLEASE HELP ME
I would hate to switch back to an iPhone just because of these msging issues.
Thanks in advanced
U need to look in the hangouts post in the app part of forum. ..There is an update with the apk that works perfectly with a few little kinks.

been using it for months now with no problems, don't really notice much difference with regards to battery saving but it does help stop some dodgy services like htcCheckinService, googleAnalyticService etc..
however, some services are needed for the phone to function properly especially in Google Play Services, one too many disables in there and things start going tits-up :silly: bottom line is to experiment and let us know how you got on

True but Google Play Services has severe wakelocks and this app can disable certain processes within Google Play Services to reduce wakelocks...

Edit... Making own thread
Nothing here in UK yet.
Does anyone have the official changelog from Samsung ? Trying to decide if its worth a base update.
I have had a look at the firmware, doesn't look like any new features per say have been added.
In saying that tho, if its more battery friendly or what ever it may be worth the update,
EDIT: Perhaps even if someone could upload there build.prop !
No update for me either

@fOmey - Attached is my build.prop file. Just updated to ML1, Still running 4.2.2
I also upload the extracted apps as well if you want to look into them.
No changes from what I see. Everything looks and functions the same. Not sure on battery life yet.
Update. I noticed I downloaded the apps wrong. They are missing the odex files. I will re download them and repost them later today. (I will just grab the whole app folder this time and zip it for ya) Download new Apps from here - Zippyshare.com
