**crossj115** · 03-15-2012, 01:39 AM

does anyone have any ideas on how to get rid of this?
i tried installing airpush detector but didn't detect anything

i have my phone rooted with stocked rom
it seems adfree doesn't filter out airpush ads...

hope someone knows a solution somewhere out there

thanks!

Never seen them. Just ditch the app that you have that is associated with them.

You have to find the app and uninstall it.

Is it a text message? The Icon next to it is the same as the messaging app. If it is a text message then this would explain why airpush detector is not find an app that is causing it. You may have given your cell number to a company or signed up for something online that is causing you to get these texts. Its like Spam email. In the text there should be something that says Reply STOP to stop receiving these messages or something like that.

I don't have a text messaging plan so I hate it when I'm charged for spam texts and I have to pay again to reply STOP to them... so annoying. (I use Google Voice exclusively yet somehow they get my carrier number when I barely remember what it is)

That does suck. I travel overseas and this is a major way for companies and the carriers to sell products. On my crappy phone I use in India I get 2-3 text a day trying to sell me something. I hope it does not get that bad in the US.

I vaguely remember hearing that you can have your carrier disable texts if you want.

Some games do that and I go too settings, data and choose the game and check restrict background data

**crossj115** · 03-16-2012, 01:20 AM

looked up the developer for that app and found i installed another app from the same developer
so i just uninstalled it
hopefully that will fix the problem

Twice now over the past day I've had a little + sign up in the notification bar. When I go to look at it it has been for things like "claim your $500 Walmart card". Anyone else getting these? Where the heck did they suddenly come from?

You need to uninstall some recently in stalled app which brought it to you. I had to uninstall an active wall paper which I had installed to get rid of the ones which I was getting

Yea, the challenge is figuring out which app is the culprit. I don't think I installed anything new, but did update a bunch yesterday as I'd been out of the country for 2 weeks and on a limited data plan.

Install "Airpush Detector" it will identify which app is causing the issue.

Read the Permissions carefully before installing an app as it ask for these stuffs over the phone. Do not install any app in hurry without reading the permissions because precaution is better than cure!
