Hi everyone!
I have switched off adverts in the Xperia T menu and also in my Google account but I still get some appearing in the notification bar that link to a website.
I would appreciate advice on how do I stop these!

download "addons detector" from the market, run it and find the app that is giving you these push notifications.
Hi Greg,
Thanks! It was FLV Player. There is a no adds paid version so I deleted it.
It's scary to see how intrusive some apps are....

Hi I guys, I searched the forums and Google and didn't find anything.
On my notification bar there is occasionally a white star with a red dot. It's always some kind of spam today it was "Free College Degrees"
I deleted any of the apps I had installed in the last week (since I had noticed the star). The white star and red dot has come back.
Does anyone know of an app that does that? All the running services seem pretty legit to me. Can someone tell me how to isolate it? I would prefer not to have to reflash..
I'm running Cognition 3.04.
Thanks,

Have you tried dl security software to check for malware?

Hi,
I have the same problem but I think I've found the App or one App that initiates this messages.
On my Milestone I'm using APNDroid which is using Airpush Ads since the lat Update.
I used aLogCat to search for the App that starts this "Browser" with the Ads and there I noticed the entries of apndroid and airpush.
Hopefully this information is useful for you.

I installed and uninstalled the Mirin browser recently, would it have left some remnants behind?
I installed alogcat and did a filter with "Browser" which came up with maybe 10-15 entries of
Code:
V/WindowManager (2970): Dsptch > Window{48688688 com.android.vending/com.android.vending.AssetBrowserActivitypaused=false}
Can that be what you mean? I apologize, but you could provide some more detail?

if you've deleted all installed apps you could just back up important datas/pics and do a factory reset it will bring you back to like a clean new install rom clearing the remnants that's bugging you.
Got it, put the "Program Monitor" widget on a screen and opened it. Only 2 apps running: messenger and Brain Age Test 2. I guess it came in on a Brain Age Test update.
Is it odd that Brain Age didn't show up in settings --> applications --> running services?
APNdroid
In my case it's APNdroid Free that is causing the notification. When I click on the notification, the first thing I see is "APNdroid" at the top of the browser. So I tried checking the app on the Market, but developer Martin Adamek temporarily removed the app:
"Ad-supported version of APNdroid is not available at the time, as I need to reconsider to include notification ads. Based on the user feedback, I guess this was bad idea and I need to think what's next for free version."
Star in Notification Bar
Hello,
I used AirPush detector and it found the application that was causing my HTC EVO4g to get this star with the red dot in my notification bar to show up. As a matter of fact, the star was currently in my notification bar when I uninstalled the app. which was Ice Cream Sandwich wallpaper and the star immediately disappeared. Hope this helps someone...
Airpush ads are evil. I used an app called Addons Detector and it found the culprit (it was a game called Dungeon TD). I won't tolerate ads in my notification bar.
Thanks for the Airpush detector recommendation. I searched google and this thread came up. Found I had a Steve Jobs app that was sending me ads in my notification bar.
Another culprit
GO SMS Theme Pink Bubble is the one my girl was getting hers on.
Thanks! Add-ons detector worked like a charm. The Airpush detector didn't do it for me.
Hi,
I have an ad entitled "Exciting Game King Pirate". The ad looks like a sms, with the sms icon and appearing as a notification. I want to identify the app who created this ad but I couldn't. I killed every app with some task killer but the ad is still here. Doing busybox ps -e gives me lots of entries. What to do?
Why don't you use adblock?

Sorry, my message was unclear, I edited it. I am using an ad blocker but it is an different type of ad.
My god... what an awful kind of spam/virus/malware! If you do find where it comes from please let us know!

Install "Addons Detector" from Google Play. It can detect which apps serve ads in the notification bar.
I recently installed Download Manager, and it seems to be responsible of my Push Notifications ads, like yours...
I used the app recommended just above, found it in 15 sec.
is a game from letang developer. try to unistall the game or go to google play and search letang . you will see the list of games of this developer you have installed. then and unistall it. hope this fix
Oh thank you, indeed it was the game "raiden sky force ace" I think. (The addon detector didn't find the push notification.)
Thanx so much for this. Notifications were pissing me off and wasn't able to track em down until this thread.

Thank you .. for me it was "TANK" from LeTang .. what a bunch of bastards. Making the icon look a lot like the 'SMS' icon was particularly evil. Must remember to avoid them in future.
Thanks!

Thanks!!! That did it for me!! Mine was Tank. It wasn't even that good of a game!
Mission Impossible - LeTang
Same Issue - Green SMS Icon in the notification bar about the pirates game.
The AddOn Detector didn't catch the app - but after a quick search for LeTang I found Mission Impossible Free installed. A quick uninstall, and the ad disappeared.
Irritating to put it mildly.
Thanks for the info guys.

Hi, I'm using Xperia TX with .197 firmware (unlocked BLoader). I noticed that after downloading images from the internet to my phone, the "album" didn't show those new images. I had to reboot the phone for them to show up. Is there any way to make the library auto-update or any magic button to update it?
:fingers-crossed: Thanks

Have you tried stopping the app, then relaunching it? I believe this will force a media rescan.(settings, apps, force stop)

thank you Baz, for reminding me of this workaround, I haven't seen this problem since my x10 days.
But it feels weird to be doing that everytime I download media from the net. It's a $500+ phone after all. Do you have this problem at all or is it just me?

I must admit I have not tried it yet, but I did notice that when I deleted a few images I had on my ext sd card they still showed up in album, perhaps it is unavoidable, otherwise media's scan would have to run constantly!?

hi guys,
since the update to the 4.3 firmware, i'm not getting push notifications for facebook, skype etc. k9 mail and sms apps work just fine. i've added my accounts properly (google facebook etc.). tried disabling timescape and the sony social crap but that didn't help. i have no such problems on aftermarket roms (omni, cm).
i also downloaded push notification tester, and i can confirm that nothing happens after step 3 (trigger notification).
am i the alone with this? if not, is there a fix?

Got Google Play Services up and running? I noticed that when removing or disabling this app, you will no longer receive Push notifications..

well, i always disable that invasive crap, but yeah, i did a test with play services enabled and updated - no luck.
btw it's also disabled on my cm10.1 rom and i have no problems receiving notifications.
UPDATE: seems to work on the new 9.2.A.1.199 firmware. i don't know if it's because of the new firmware or something i've changed (i've only restored user apps+data), but google play services is definitely disabled. ^^

Sup guys! I've flashed my stock rooted. 77 kitkat recently, it's now fully deodexed and debloated (thanks to @serajr for his hardwork), my phone is running flawlessly and 100% way better than before! But, like the topic name, I am missing some APP Notifications, not from Facebook and whatsapp or Play store which I do use most, but 9Gag, Clash of Clans, Spotify, they do have the notification thing activated but they aren't pushing me for notifications anymore! Does anybody know the reason?
Thanks at all
