New update already?

I have my dinc running skyraider vanilla 3.2, but my girlfriend is on the stock verizon pushed ota. No root (yet) but she got the update a little over a week ago. She just texted me and said theres another update trying to be pushed to her device as of today. I told her to hold off for now, as I haven't seen anything about it. Anyone seen this yet?

Can you pull it off the phone and upload it?

Someone reported on AndroidForums that Verizon and HTC confirmed there was a problem with the battery discharging quickly on 'some' phones running 2.2 and an update was forthcoming. Don't know if that's related or not.

Just got this text message

Me, too, at 4:08 PDT today. I'm rooted though so nothing happened besides the txt msg.

Well my battery life still sucks on 2.2 so I for sure want that update. I assume I have to put back the stock recovery to get the OTA. Does anyone have a link to download it? Is it the same boot loader that 2.1 used?
Some easy instructions would be good also.
Thanks in advance.

So, I have noticed that even when I kill an app, it always starts back up like a minute later...this the reason the battery life is horrible?

She just got home so I will mess with the phone in a bit and see if I can get logcat to find the link and post it up. Thanks for the info everyone. Seems helpful.
Aww geez, never mind. It was just the "info" message.

Yes false alarm. That message is simply a recap of the 2.2 features.

Why are you "killing" said app in the first place?

Your battery life is horrible more likely because you are running an app killer....uninstall it and I bet your battery last longer....

I just donated for titanium backup which allows you to freeze some programs. I froze skype and other bloatware and now they dont start up randomly anymore

instead of freezing the bloatware, just use titanium to remove them. go to the backup/restore tab, and tap the app you want to remove, and there should be an uninstall button.

Android Market not showing all downloaded apps in "my apps" section??

I've had this issue with the Android Market 3.1.5 (and lower) - stock 2.3.4, no root.
Usually if I get a notification that I have an app update and click on it, it takes me to the my apps section however there are only the paid apps i've bought sitting there. Not the other 90 apps that I've downloaded free.
I go and clear data and that works sometimes. And other times it doesn't. I've submitted the problem to Google but I was wondering if others see this behavior and if there are any work arounds???? It's real frustrating.
I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the Market. Rebooted phone, pulled battery. Even done a factory reset. This happens on my E4GT and my Evo4G.

If you restored a backup chances are market links were restored and you will have to wait for an update or unstall and reinstall the app

I have the same issue, I prefer the older market version (wich does show all my apps, and shows the updates better also), but it wont allow me to keep it from updating for some reason, even if I freeze market updater.
it always upgrades to 3.15 after a few times going into market

this has been happening to me since I got the phone. I rooted and then went back to stock kernel, which kept me rooted. I restored my titanium backup apps with data and I believe that may have something to do with it.
as soon as I see that I have updates I know I will have to go to applications and clear data and reopen and it will then show me all of my apps again.

I talked with Google's Market help today. They know about this and are trying to figure it out.

[Q] how are these ads in my notification tray happening??

So first of all I've never had this happen to any of my other android phones phones before but as soon as i got my bell galaxy nexus (gsm) I've been getting at least 2 of these ads( telling me I've won a prize) pop up in my notification bar. I have already done a factory reset and loaded different roms and I'm still getting them!! I also did malware checks and got nothing
any ideas?

I had something similar. It was the MP3 downloader V7. It contains 'AirPush'
There is an app on the market that searches for the AirPush component & reveals what Apps you have on your phone that uses it!
Please let us know what you find.

Had the same crap happen to me today, would like to know how to stop this crap.

You downloaded an app that uses this as their form of ads. Only way to stop it is to remove the app.

I've never had any ad notifications. It's something you downloaded.

Airpush detector or Addons detector from the market.

It's your own fault for downloading **** to your phone..

i downloaded the 'airpush detector' it found that the app 'easy mp3 downloader' was the problem!

Downloaded airpush and it does not find anything, I only got one stupid txt claiming I won something, if I get anymore I will dig deep into it, thanks for the suggestions.

Could you list your apps, then maybe we could all find the culprit together.

Mine is the same mp3 download or whatever... pretty annoying.. My fix is to keep it frozen until you need to use it.

Or delete it and search for the GTunes apk because it does the same thing no airpush.

Remember to leave a 1 star and a negative comment in the market on those apps that use the air push ****!

Ever since I got my phone, I started getting spam such as

Ever since I got my phone, I started getting spam such as "you've won a $500 card to Best Buy, just answer a few questions" daily. These appears in my drop down list and not SMS/messaging.
What can I do?

Its called air push. There is a permanent opt out apparently in the market, but it has mixed results. For me it doesn't work for my brown it does

Kkg is correct. Not sire if it comes included in the phone but from my experiences it happens after you install certain apps that include it.

actually there is a newer SPAM bot system than air push, just last week i installed a new game and it came loaded with it, good thing is, all i had to do was uninstall that game to remove it
annoying as hell, sorry forgot the name of that game, it was some shoot them up game, just don't remember the tittle
just today i found yet another one, this one was caught by the antivirus software when i tried to install a fake temple run

Run the airpush detector and download an antivirus app. Its probably one of your apps. What did you download as soon as you got the phone? Was there something free or did you get one online with your cpu and install with the cord? You can fix this easily. If it really is something that came with your phone rooting and flashing should get the job done. I have gotten 2 weird messages but they originated from tmobile. Some attempt at raising revenues.

I would definitely check through your apps and delete the ones that look "shady" to you. I can usually tell if a app looks shady or not just by the app itself, but it is sometimes hard to distinguish. Also, running a anti-virus app mentioned by the posts above me will help in flushing out suspicious looking apps.

Its an app. It happened to me with free mp3 downloads app lol

Some GOSMS themes now come with this. Sad ****ers have got to go.

If you install Lookout's Push Ad Detector and run it you'll know which apps you have installed have these ads. It'll also direct you to the way to opt-out if you can or you can uninstall the app.
Link to app --> https://market.android.com/details?id=com.lookout.addetector

the opt out never works, is best to just uninstall the App/Game and give them bad reviews

The application stated above works great! I had been getting the green plus signs in my status bar that say I won something or free best buy gift cards etc... I found out that it was caused by Go sms themes, like the black& white theme and purple theme specifically. I hated getting these adds. It made me feel like my phone was unsafe. Do virus apps really do much, or do they just take up room? Thanks for the application and any more info! David

there is a fake ICS them for Go Launcher EX that also comes pre-loaded with SPAM bot

Thanks, it found MySettings. We will see in a day or so what happens.

just long press home key right after you the get AD. The offending app will be there. Uninstall

You can delete some of them directly from your app drawer. Just open your app drawer hit the plus/minus sign in the top right corner and delete. I froze the rest of mine with titanium.
When the f*ck did we get ice cream??

Thanks for the reply.
I did that, but the real reason is the upcoming roms that people will custom and I think they gonna need this info for cleaning/debloating them and stuff.
=)

You won't ruin your phone, you will just have to find the stock ROM (on one of the threads here) and flash it back with LGFlash tool. The obvious ones to remove would be anything AT&T Related using Root Uninstaller if rooted. Also any obvious apps that are preinstalled such as Polaris and Kindle can be removed if chosen too. I also removed all Tests (Bluetooth Test, Wifi Test, etc) Its pretty simple to know what to remove and not to.

I've had issues with those apps and I dint know why. Whenever I removed the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi test apps, my phone freezes for 5-10 minutes on boot. Whenever I put them back, its fine again.
Happened on the original firmware and the new one. I've went all the way back to stock too.
