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,
Frustrated

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.
Not quite sure what is responsible, but it seems an app that I've installed is placing ****ty ad links into my bloody status bar.
Has anyone else come across this? And is there any way I can find out which app is causing it?
yep
Check for an app call airpush detection its free in the market. Those ads come from a app you download for free in the market, they have spam ads attached to them. The app that was causing the problem for me was music download. These spam ads are also putting search widgets on your home screen. Just google air push ads to get more info on it.
Nice one, cheers mate. I'm all for devs putting some adds into their apps, but pushing them to my status bar when the app isn't even running? that's going too far.
Turns out it was a golauncher theme.
Also not acceptable,

I have gone through my AT&T Note 3 thoroughly and disabled most bloat.
I am finding the "My Magazine" app quite annoying due to single clicks of home button while on home screen and accidental upward swipes.
I have yet to figure out how to uninstall or disable it yet.
Does anyone know how?

I think until root is achieved if you cant disable it in app manager if you use a third party launcher it stops it from activating

Open My Magazine, hit your menu key, settings, you can turn off the option to open it via the home button... Unfortunately not with swipe up though. It seems like swiping is more difficult to open it anyway so it's less annoying.

is there any way to start the my magazine as an app and put on my home screen etc?
i cannot seems to find it in the app draw
I don't understand why they have this and flipboard. It is basically the same thing with a different interface and less customization.
It's annoying as hell for me because I already have flipboard as a damn widget. What's worse is you can't even put your flipboard account on there.

Semi Solution
In a search on another thread to find a solution for getting to the home screen or home page without pressing the home button, user Dankchild provided this app:
Swipe Home Button Free
It creates a small area at the bottom of the screen where you can swipe up and it will take you home (or another custom action you set). You have to swipe from a little off the bottom of the screen up, and the magazine action is still there if you start on the screen, but since installing this and getting used to swiping from the bottom starting off the screen, I haven't opened the magazine application once. Not a fix but it is working great for me and killing two birds with one stone!
I'm looking for the same thing-a way to disable the stupid My Magazine swipe-up gesture. It's half baked and useless to me. Flipboard is much better and more customizable and I hate that the gesture is there at all in the stock launcher. There has to be a way around this somehow.
I went in to My Magazine and turned off the launch when pressing home button. Then with my phone rooted I froze it with titanium backup. Now if you swipe up from the bottom you get a little popup that says "No app found" or something like that. I have not found a way to get rid of that completely, maybe with that swipe up program listed above.
I also went into My Mag and disabled the button. Switched to NOVA launcher and now it doesnt activate if you swype up from the bottom of the screen...not sure if I did anything to disable it.

If you disable the apk it messes with the stock e-mail app for some reason. I spent days trying to figure out why until someone in another thread suggested I try unfreezing it. Now I haven't had any issues for about 3 days with the e-mail app.

Is this only with the stock e-mail (not gmail) app, or does it effect other stock apps too?

I read that this method is doing a fc whit the email apps
I am pretty disappointed with this. I was hoping I would not have to root the device.
You MUST agree to the Terms and Conditions / Privacy Policies to be able to "disable" the home button binding. If you force stop, clear data then the binding returns.
What was Samsung thinking when they thought they should FORCE everyone to use it or SUFFER the inconvenience...

Jokesonme gave you the answer! With that app you don't have to root and you can have it do nothing when you swipe or switch it to a different app.
Thanks jokesonme!!

Did not work for me. Even with installing the app and trying different bindings, it will either FC TouchWiz or go to the app not found screen in Google Play.
Sadface. Can't wait to put on a custom ROM without all the bloat.
This is horrible every like 20 minutes I'm gettin the error. I don't wanna root I wanna stick to stock.
Any other options?
Sorry if this is noob questions, but all the time on my phone, google play will open up to a random game/app while I'm doing other things. Specific examples:
When I'm using talk to text-- the microphone will grab half of what I'm saying, freeze, and then switch to google play with "uber" up or something.
When I'm typing a text message, google play will pop up.
When i wake up the the morning, and go to turn off the alarm, there is an ad in the way, and I have to press home, open clock to turn off the alarm.
These are the three most common instances where the ads come up, and it's just super annoying. Does anyone have any suggestions to get this to stop?
Thanks in advance!!
Must be an app you installed recently. Try checking Google Play reviews of apps you have on your phone (look for reviews with similar complaints).

As said above it's probably an app . I had a similar problem long back . It's usually from an ad supported app that runs in the background (eg: Applocker or equivalent, photo hiding app , another telephony app like full screen caller HD or something) .So check which apps are running in the background before you start un-installing :good:
surely an app....
If you're a normal user, you need to revisit you Installed Apps and find out! (some app which has lot of Permissions is doing this, ignore them in future)
If you have root, AdAway would be handy.
If you have root+Xposed, MinMinGuard will do the job.
It's surely an app. Try installing this, will tell you which app are pushing ads to your phone, then you can uninstall them.

I've noticed that if you use a third party app for SMS like Signal, you dont get a notification unless the application is open, same with gmail.
Has anyone else noticed this?
go to advance setting >battery manager >protected app and check if application is not checked on , that's mean when screen is off the application will not work unless you open it... so if you need notification from certain apps just mark it on

This is a the 'doze' function in Huawei EMUI. A lot of firmwares have this issue. It's because Huawei has blacklisted many apps to not to send notification when screen is off. The apps that are white-listed include WhatsApp and some Chinese Tencent crap.
There is a method to enable notifications for all apps but obviously that requires root.
And yeah, Welcome to EMUI, a UI that plays with your emotions.

All I can say is I have turned on every apps to run when the screen is off. I do t get any notifications, only if I go on the app or if I turned the phone off then back on I get a batch of notifications. I receive certain apps notification but its not consistent. Can't wait for a good root, to get rid of this crappy EMUI and hopefully the camera app will be ported, I'm happy with the pbone, the camera, but this UI is from hell.
Weird, I have 0 issues with notifications, everything turns up very quickly. Gmail, whatsapp, youtube comments... Etc.
I also use Nils lockscreen notifications though, I have the huawei lockscreen notification system disabled. It works very well like this until I find the time to root.

How did you disable it? Mine is greyed out saying locked by administrator and I haven't. This UI is starting to P me off. Think touchwiz will see me again soon ?
Have you looked at apps > phone manager > notification centre?

I only disabled the huawei lockscreen notification system (to disable the lockscreen all together you need root). Just use any lockscreen other than the stock magazine one in the theme selecter.
The UI certainly is different. But imho customizable enough that it doesn't get in the way. This is android after all.

OK if you guys have root i have something to try for you. I had issues with the process of GMD gesture control. It was killed by the battery saving tools implemented in this phone.
So I tried freezing certain system apps through titanium to find the one responsible for closing the background process and I think I found it:
It's a process/app called "power genie". I disabled it and now the process sticks. Also I made gesture control a system app, so maybe it's a combination of the two things.
It's not the same issue as you had but maybe it works for you too.

So does this method allow for notifications to come through without having firstly opened the application then going to home-screen with it still open?

You'd have to try that out for yourself because I never had any issues with notifications coming through and I use third party software (Nils) for lockscreen notification.
What I described is a method that prevents a Huawei "power save" service called power genie killing background processes. No guarantees though, I had issues with gmd gesture control not working after a few minutes and I had to constantly open the app to make it work again. Then I froze power genie and since then it worked 100%.
So it's just my theory that it might stop other apps/processes from being closed as well.
I still dont get notifications coming through via the official gmail app, i might trying that power genie freeze, since any app thats not Huawei wont come through as a notification and thats when I give the app full access.'
I'm not sure if this is worth a try, but there's an option to 'ignore optimisations' on a per-app basis.
In settings > Apps > Advanced > Ignore optimisations > All apps
I've instructed to ignore optimisations for Dash, an app with a background service that launches the app upon connection to my car's Bluetooth OBD. I'll feed back if this has any impact, as I've noticed it doesn't auto-start the app on the Huawei P9 as it used to on my Nexus 5, despite 'protecting' the app in the battery manager.

If it's just Gmail, try deleting cache and data for the Gmail app and reboot first. My wife had the same issue just with the Gmail app a few days ago (on a galaxy s3 though).
Same issue with Instagram so I guess it's not only gmail
