Looking through my app list the only thing new I see is getjar. Something about that app seemed funny. Has anyone else had this problem?
I haven't noticed getjar anywhere yet but I sure have noticed the spam directly from Sprint, and it's really quite annoying. Does anyone know of a way to stop the spam which can be viewed in the OP's screenshot for example.
Get Air Push Detector app from Market. It will tell you the guilty app. For me it was MP3 Music Download. It got deleted immediately ...lol

Delete, one star apps that use Air Push. Mention it in the review, discourage devs to use this shady ad pusher.

Yeah, Air Push Detector is great.
that's the same damn app I had mp3 download and it erased my 16 gig SD card I was pissed. Ill stick to gtunes

I can't believe it!
I thought it was coming from the carrier so it is a big relief to find that the culprit was mp3 downloader pro.
Thanks a bunch!
Airpush detector is great. For me, it was mp3 music downloader pro as well. I now use Free Mp3 Download - its awesome

Yeah, it is the Sprint Zone app. They don't allow you to deselect all the "notifications", you have to leave one selected. FYI, notifications are what sprint calls the ads. I froze the sprint Zone app with bloat freezer.

I thought for sure it was spam directly from sprint, but not so sure now. I've removed "MP3 Downloader Pro" and haven't noticed any ads popup in notifications since. The notifications I was getting had a green + symbol and one notification was pointing me towards an alternative android market. I'll still check out that Bloat Freezer, sounds useful thanks!

I recently tried out ooVoo (which doesn't turn the video sideways like yahoo messenger), but it starts up with the phone, is there a way to disable it at start up? I'm freezing it with titanium but thats not really a solution...as always thanks for any help!
As of versions now, not really. Do you by any chance suffer from the infinite account sync?
yes lol, guess i'll just defrost for time being when i need to use it which is seldom...wish android os had equivalent to 'msconfig' in windows
Download one of the start up editor type apps and block oovoo at startup.

Did this come from an App ?
Someone just texted you, either randomly or you gave them your number. Keep in mind many apps can see your phone number, like the Facebook app for example. The Facebook app in some cases actually lets your friends facebook apps, not Android apps but Facebook apps through the Android app, see your number.
Just ignore it. On other carriers I would recommend blocking the number but it really doesn't matter since you have unlimited texting on sprint. You can block numbers easily on sprint and on google voice though, so if it is bothering you just block the number on sprints website or on the google voice site, depending on which you use.

lmao I got one of these a while ago. I got a text bombing app and sent them 1000 texts telling them to f off. havent got another text from them
I just bombed that number for reassurance.

Be sure to add them to your block list as well.
So if I login to sprint I can set call filters?
That Google voice should I set it up?
I thought I didn't need it?
Got a text like this too... Maybe 2 a month. Just found out sprint charged me for one international text. Must be an app causing this. Either way I suggest saving it if you ever receive another, in case sprint wants to charge. Or just bomb the number.
Epic-ly tapped from my Galaxy SII
What's the name of the text bombing app lol?

I don't recommend bombing the internatioal one.. That could be kinda spendy.

Google it my man, found mine within 20 seconds of reading this thread... even came with a QR Barcode, used Google Goggles and didn't even have to mess with the SD card
is it just me or does the push notifications really suck on Android? I play all those "with friends" games and I never get the notifications... i have to manually go inside the app itself for it to update...
sorry this is my first Android phone and I do love it but this is the only problem I have with it; iphone does a better job.
please also excuse my ignorance if there is a different or certain policy to android because like I said before, this is my first phone therefore I am obviously new.
lastly, if I get flamed for creating a similar post, I do apologize for that too. I'm on tapatalk and tried using the search feature but nothing came up when I put "push notifications" as keywords.
thanks. had to rant since it annoyed the hell out of me

As soon as I rooted my phone and flashed a different ROM I pretty much stopped getting notifications from any app

Those push notifications are the developers only problem all Google apps work fine and my twitter client works fine as well I get push notifications fine.

Like i said blame the developers all the google apps work fine and clients as well. Facebook push has hardly ever worked and the apps now is slow hangs and hardly ever works. Gmail push always comes through immediately. Have you check to make sure Gmail is synced in your google account. Try a different facebook client? Besides their own app which is horrible on ios and android btw.

until fb figures a way to monetize on mobile apps they will ALWAYS suck.
and it isn't just you. FB messenger will work sometimes when it wants to. FB itself is usually pretty accurate for me, same with Plume.
i just wished BLN pro would always work right :\

Bln pro works fine for me I use blinking. But plume will give give me notifications when it wants me to sometimes 10 minutes after.. The standard twitter app sends me mentions and everything immediately but it puts me off since its lack of features. Best twitter app is tweetbot for the iphone.
Oh I thought you guys had push notification ads

Words with Friends [and every "with friends"] game uses poll not push. You can have it poll more frequently under settings. Obviously it'll drain more battery though.
Email?
Strangely I didn't have any issues with push when I was using the CM7 alpha. I just recently move to Juggernaut 5.0 and while I love the ROM I don't get emails pushed to me immediately anymore. Anyone have a similar experience?
I don't think any words are necessary.

Because they know when you have over 500 million people that no matter how bad your app is they will still come back to the site.
I have stopped using the app. It drives me crazy. I use friendcaster and website. The app is so slugish and acts stupid around 99% of the time.

Faster facebook. Goggle it on the play store
Lol I don't like Facebook enough to get a dedicated app for it. From what I have seen though, their mobile site is really poorly designed like they are trying to force you to use one their app. I assume Friendcaster is much better than the official app.
Don't forget that the latest update also added FB camera and FB messenger apps. At least mine did. Now I have 3 FB apps. WEAK.

Yeah they changes the name on the market. I believe it is called "fast for android"
Sent from my ADR6350 using xda premium
Yeah, I've deleted the Fb app too--don't like the increasing bloat and I'm really annoyed by the their spammed camera and messaging apps. Tried Fast for Facebook, and as much as I'd like to support their xda-friendly devs, it doesn't seem to update all that well or display photos and such.
OTOH, the mobile web app, it seems to do what I need without bloating up my phone. For a light Fb users, it does the job.
Yep... Agreed. I absolutely hate the facebook app.

That was the last straw for me, uninstalled it. They've removed the extra launcher icons now, but the app is still terrible.
A lot of times it will turn on my GPS when I enter the app, and never let go of it.
It's terrible cause it's Facebook. I hope my boss doesn't read this

has anyone else been getting spam in the notification slide for different apps. ive deleted my most recent app hoping it will stop it. happens about twice a day so far.
and its apps for i dont have they are wanting me to download.
Too much porn lol
Next time it happens long press on the notification and go to app info. The page it takes you to will be the app thats giving you the spam notifications. If you need the app just dont want the notifications just disable notifications for that app
It's still an app sending you spam notifications. There's an app in the play store that will help you find the culprit. Forgot the name tho
