Note Advertisement issues - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guyz
Phone : Samsung Galaxy Note GT-7000
Android Version : 4.0.4
Build : AllianceROM_ICS v2.1
Kernel : NoteCoreICS_v1.0
I have a weird problem
Im getting Advertisement notifications when ever im connected to the internet. Recent application i installed was Dolphin addon Jetpack.I uninstalled already
When im connected to internet, every now and then im getting notification in my slider, with redstar,greenstar icons "HOT CHICKS" stuff like that. Im sure my phone is not infected because im using Norton Security - Licensed one. I did full scan and all. Im sure this ads appearing after connecting to the internet.
Is there anyway to figure out how to remove this ad? sometimes when i click this add its opning in webbrowser, sometimes sms.
Thanks

Use Ad-free ad blocker. Your phone must be rooted though. If you are not rooted - Firefox is the easiest method—just download Firefox, and add the Adblock Plus extension, which you can find in the add-ons page in Firefox's settings.Hope this helps

there has to be an app that is running in the background that is causing this. Check in applications

seems some sort of adware installed on ur device. check what all apps are running and manually stop them and see if the notification goes away. check in services as well

Since how many days you are facing this issue? Ans x days , now try to remember any new app that you installed on or before that x day .. Mostly it will be a game..long back gun bros did that for me..

Reflash ROM (after wiping on a safe kernel) if you can't seem to find the problem. Easiest way out
Sent from my Asylumized shopping cart.

Fixed the problem. I installed 1 app called MovieTube. that rogue application caused this trouble

I had same ads. I put a post on banner ads up. Adaway did not stop it ,or any others. What I did was use 'auto start manager' in rom toolbox to find the app that had a reciever switched on and switched it off. That was simple though. It was an app that had no right to have such a reciever. A lot do need them to function.
its a recent app . Find it and take out.
I'm going to try the air push someone recommended to you (thx).
It's out of order

I've never been able to get them to work.

the official facebook app is un-reliable for me
sometimes i get them, usually not.
i also have facebook set to SMS notifacations to be safe. they have been un-reliable too since i got the android.
sometimes ill get the same message from the app and sms or just one... or neither....
only notifications i've ever gotten have been messages and event invites. responses to status updates never give me notifications.
well went to the settings today in the FB app and checked notifications active and i never turned on refresh interval due to battery consumption but now i get my comments/chat/message all pushed to my phone...well its working for me but hope it works for you guys too!

Noticeable Changes:
1. New UI For Tablets
2. Faster / Fixed Download bug
To install:
Move the Vending.apk to /system/app (You need root)
Accept Replace
Download:
MediaFire
(Sorry for the adfly link,, I need to support)
Ah finally this market works, thanks!
Don't forget to uninstall the old market with titanium backup or there will be two market apps.
[edit]
Nevermind. I got the old market running again.
So, all I have to do is drop Vending.apk into the system/app folder, and that's it? Doesn't seem to work at all.
Here's what happens.
1. Download file.
2. Move file into system/app, accept replace.
3. Open Market...Everything is still the same.
4. Click "My Apps"...Get a forceclose for Finsky.
??
Same for me
See if you have 2 markets after replacing vending.apk. Then use titanium backup to uninstall market version 1.0.28. Market 3.1.6 will be the only market left. You should then be able to access my apps in the new market.
This market seems not to be xoom optimized. Especially 'my apps' does not fill landscape screen, reloads when rotating screen, and the little shop icon in apps drawer looks generic.
Doesn't seem it was meant for xoom just yet...
I renamed my original to vendor.bak then dropped this one in, rebooted and it is working fine for me.

Yes but it force closes when i click on my apps. So it doesnt work with every one. Dont know why
EDIT: After many times trying i went and installed 3.1.5 and then installed this over top of it and it worked.. dont ask why but it did....

It works great for me, not a fan of the new market widget. Not in the least.
Thank you for sharing. I've had only one force close; however I've been ok these last few times.
Ok I had to reinstall the old market.
For some reason I keep having errors trying to update my paid apps through the new market. Even my phone with the new market has problems too.
The old market works fine on my xoom.
Anyone else experiencing this as well?
Works great for me. Replaced stock app and rebooted. Not one issue yet. And my favorite feature. Screen rotation. I HATED that before the market HAD to be in landscape. It would never go into portrait, which is how I hold the device 90+% of the time. This is great now. XD
Sent from my Xoom using xda premium
instead of installing I just used root explorer to copy the new version into the system/app
try after try, I failed. I gave up. The titanium backup didn't work, putting it in syste,m/app and setting permissions didn't work.
Am I the only one who find this new market hideous? The section "My Apps" doesn't look like it's made to fit on a tablet like the old market. The front page doesn't quite fit on the screen either. Pretty poor job testing their stuff before they release it.

What is OS services that ate away 600mb

Within a short span of one hour OS services on my device consumed 600mb.
I don't.have any sync apps running.
I am on stock ROM, unrooted.

I observe further strange behavior on my device.
While the lock screen time is getting updated correctly, the time in the notification bar is stuck at 5.29am.
What possible reasons could there be for this weird behavior. Is there any relation between the unintended data usage by the OS Services and this time stuck problem.
I will do a factory reset, but I am still eager to know the reason for these anomalies.

You don't have any "crazy" app doing all this?
You don't remember since that behavior started? After you install something... Change something on hidden menu...
Just asking cause I never had nothing like that.

I had installed two apps, namely cardiograph and 3d rollercoaster. I had uninstalled them after using them for a day.
I used box.net app to upload some 200+mb files via WiFi and I had downloaded aurora 2 tablet Rom using my data in the morning.
That was my entire activity for yesterday.

i know that turning off the mobile sync make you lose whatsapp messages and mails, but try that.
also, check how many accounts you have syncing (like google+or weather), change the syncing time intervals if its possible.
that behavior suggest me that its downloading a update or something.

There was one more change I had done, and that was to add a second google account (I had the sync off for that account as well)
Secondly, I spoke to my operator, and they clarified that the total usage was only 200+MB on the data plan and not 600MB as show in the data-manager app.
I am not sure if the different dates on the lock screen and the notification bar and the OS Services 600MB data usage were due to this addition of a second account.
In any case, I have done a factory reset and have one account added for now, and all seems to be in order.

[Q] Failed recording calls

Hi!
I have S3 mini, I8190, pre-rooted stock rom I8190XXAMG1.
In the past I managed to record calls using "RMC: Record My Call" application. But, in the past few months I found out that the application doesn't record at all - it always fails. After I reboot my phone it records calls and at some point it stops doing that. I can't say if it's number of calls or time after boot dependent.

I tried several applications instead - still no success: they all fail to record. Some of them give an error and some just not recording at all, without and messages. In all application I tried changing the settings, trying every possible combination.
In the past few days I tried the "SecPhone.apk" hack. No difference, it works exactly as "Record My Call" does.
Does anyone facing/faced this problem before and can advise what to do? How to solve this issue?
I forget to mention that I also tried resetting the phone to manufacture default settings - no change..
Thanks!

Well, you can get the app itself from Google. Just search "xposed installer apk download" and install it on your device. Then go into the Xposed app and tap on framework tab. After that click install/update and restart your phone. When it boots up, you'll have enabled xposed
Now again inside the xposed app tap on download tab and use the search button in the top right corner and search for "call recording", install the module, go in modules tab, enable it by ticking the box next to its name and again reboot the phone. When it starts up again and you receive a call, you'll have the option to record it when you answer it
Also it's worth checking out all available xposed modules when you have some free time. To see them all just tap on download tab in xposed app and explore what each module does and download the ones you like, install them, go to modules tab, tick the little black box on the left of the module's name and reboot.
Remember : Each time you install a xposed module, you MUST enable it in modules tab and you MUST restart your device for changes to take effect.
Press the "Thanks" button if I helped even a little bit

I saw your screenshots, but I thought that the app you were using was broken or something. That's why I suggested this module. Sry that I couldn't help out, but hey - now you have xposed

Found a solution!
The app CallRecorder by skvalex does the job, even with bluetooth device connected!
I tried the trial for 5 days, and it's doing an excellent job - both side are perfectly sound!
Definitely worth the money.

hi,
Firstly, i had " something "similar (issue)
I my case i was missing my "auto rotate" icon, in my shortcut notification bar. I managed to sort it out, eventually.
I would suggest, try the following... it might work for you.?
1. check your notification shortcut "edit" to see if its not there.
If not,
2 Go to Samsung Store, search for "Quic Panel Restore app its a Samsung app.Install and" run " it. (see screenshot)
App is suppose to fix missing shortcut icons.
Plse note, that missing shortcut icons, is a common
" bug "for Samsung devices.!
From the then S6 device's (big issues then) plus all other Samsung models afterwards.
(You can Google issue and see)
In my case, QuickPanel Restore did not fix, nothing..!
I then had a idea, and downloaded 3rd party app" Auto rotate widget "
install it and switched /activated Auto rotate.
My icon showed up in my notification shortcut bar.! !
Yes, it a Samsung software bug !
Problem is, if i uninstalled" Auto Rotate widget "
my Auto rotate icon disappears from notification shortcut bar.! O, yes...
i do have the Mobile Hot spot (see screenshot)
Good luck

hi,
no, you are correct.! I did a search now and it's not showing.
Previous occasions it showsed for me.
Samsung must have "pulled" app from App Store.
Have you tried my last suggestion,?
re look for similar 3rd party app "Mobile Hot-spot"
Google or check Play store?
Install and see if it "enables" Notification shortcut icon for mobile hot-spot.
This method, worked for me re Auto Rotate and still does...... "forces" icon to show. up in Notification bar.
Good luck
Post note
Did a quick search Play store.
One app "Quick Settings for Android" (has Mobile hot-spot)
and a few others similar apps you can install and try.
Also make sure your carrier has not blocked Mobile Hot-spot ?
(reason maybe why not showing? )
