Can anybody tell me what this is or how I could find out be it task manager or whatever... It appears every now and then whenever I'm connected to the web for an extended period of time. It stayed even after killing all programs via go launcher task manager

Do you have a music downloader on your phone? If you do, clear its app data and it will most likely go away.
If you don't have one or it doesn't work, then download Airpush and it will pinpoint the source

It was the music downloaded that was doing that for me. If you have it uninstall it. If you need a need a new one search for "music junk.apk" on 4shared.com. worked for me!

Thanks! Haven't seen any since I cleared the data.. also downloaded Airpush and found out some other apps were making different ads pop up which is useful info...
I guess I'll ask a second question while I've already got this thread: Does anyone know if WidgetLocker could cause the phone to not wake when the button is pressed, or perhaps anything else that could cause it.. I sometimes have to plug the charger in so that the screen comes on and after that it's okay. It's fine when i'm at home but potentially quite a major inconvenience.

WidgetLocker has randomly given me all kinds of odd issues not waking the screen, not being locked when woken up, changing themes on its own, moving or deleting Widgets finally it got sidelined for go locker now that it supports custom shortcuts

If you don't mind me asking, how do you do this? I used to have a program that I found on the Market named YouTube downloader, but I can't seem to find it anymore.

Can you use lockscreen widgets (like poweramp) with go locker? I had it once before and couldn't very effectively, so I used WL because I could..

Nice music app. Some of my album art is missing but I will fix it with the itag app. App is real fast and real loud curious to see what the future updates will be. Definitely a nice find. Would like to see a better widget.

Not working very nice together with CM9 player. Makes it force close.
Very nice and cool player. Thanks man.
Love this player!!! if its 2 dollars or lesser im paying for it sure!
Pretty sweet UI, certainly unique. I'm not a fan of the font used but if the font is all I can complain about that's saying something. Will certainly give this a few rounds round the block.
Thanks for the heads up.
i always thought playerpro with the pure white skin looked the cleanest. it also now has support for the native ICS lockscreen controls.
but now after uploading my library to google music, not bothering with third party players
This app reads personal information and sensitive log data. Why does this music player need that?
Poweramp and others music players do not ask for this permission!
I got a question
What is the difference between this player and the original player??
looks interesting.. i just don't see the point. spotify and stock music synced with cloud is solid.
Tried this player on both my Gnex & Razr - It's not as good as Poweramp on either phone.
This is a pretty good player, the lock screen is pretty cool. That being I am having problems with the lock screen when I want to access the phone. I turn on the screen, then select unlock. After that it takes me to facial recognition only to fail but not let me enter my pattern. I have to reboot my phone so I could get into it. Because of this I had to uninstall. The lock screen problems seems to happen when playing music, but I have always been able to find a way around it. Not this time.
looking forward to more development on this. already using it and i like it.

Edit: working nicely now

Ever get your homepage hijacked by a different search engine?

I just restored an EL29 Android and fired up the stock browser to do a Google search since I set Google.com as my homepage. It got changed to a different site that looked similar to Google but wasn't.

I just downloaded an antivirus app, I might do a second one just to make sure, and will run it once I finish with this post. I will Google the site to see if anyone else experienced this. I've never seen this before.
Edit: Ran Google search and some people were saying they got it from brightest flashlight. I did dl it and run it to see if I had and screen burn in (I did :-( ). I had already uninstalled the program before running the browser. At the bottom of the dev's page on g play, it said the app adds a search shortcut to your home screen and changes your default browser homepage. I couldn't recreate this behavior. If this is/was true, this is very uncool of the dev company. I didn't see it in the bottom of the description in the play market because there was a lot of text there. Reading the user agreement was kind of counter productive. What I mean is when you run the app for the first time, it turns on the camera led and brings up the EULA. You can't read it and turn off the led. So, read the EULA but shorten the lifespan of your camera led. Nice. I font know if that was the guilty app for me either. Scan turned up nothing but something inside the autoroot.zip file I downloaded and have on the card. Something about elf:looter-h (pub).
Happened to me before but i caught really fast too ...i think it has to do with those wierd third party apps you manually install ...some can be screwy man!

U have malware....search airpush in the market and it will show u an app that will detect what is on ur phone causing the issue.

Ran airpush detector and it found nothing. Addons detector found lots but they were from legitimate apps. I'm not running any warez either. Slideme.org has gave me crap before from one of their apps offered. I forgot what it was.
That sucks. Guess u never know what's being downloaded and how many employees leave good reviews for an app. Best bet is only DL stuff from devs that have several apps with good reviews, like teslacoil.

Google Sound Search w/o Widget?

The Google Sound Search thing is pretty neat but I would rather not dedicate 4x1 of home screen real estate to its widget. Has anyone found another way to call it up? I've tried searching through the Play Music app but don't see anything in there with similar functionality.

Google Search app, click on the Microphone icon. Is that what you're referring to as Sound Search?
You see those two icons???? Click it and it will open up only voice.
The blue is stock with be phone, the other is Nova.

That's not what I'm talking about it. I'm talking about the new in JB "Sound Search" widget that is basically Google's take on Shazam/Soundhound/etc. The only way I've found to start it is by adding the widget to a home screen and then tapping on it when you want it to start trying to identify a song. Here's an article on it: http://www.androidauthority.com/google-sound-search-whats-this-song-now-available-for-ics-98773/
However, the widget is 4x1 and is not resizable (at least with the stock launcher). I don't want to clutter up my home screens keeping it up full time but adding it deleting it each time I want to ID a song is cumbersome too. I would be nice if there was another way to get to that function.
Talkin about that???

I haven't found any other way to launch it, aside from the 4x1 widget, so I don't bother using it. (But I'm sure with a little digging someone would be able to find a way).
I use Soundhound which gives you a 1x1 icon.

And Soundhound will search through a larger library of music.
The Google Widget only displays results for music sold in the Play Store (Clever, Google. Clever.).

It's this Google Music? This is an issue that started for me with the most recent update to Google Music a couple of weeks ago. I rolled back to an earlier version using titanium backup and the problem is gone. Might have to wait for another update our use a different player.

Both of those are problems with the apps not the phone or jellybean.
Contact app developer (doubt it'll do anything) but it is what it is.

New Device Playing Background Music

Just got this device and when it sits for a while it begins plays music in the background...puts you in mind of being at a Spa...has water sounds to it. It is the same sound just looping over and over.
I have looked at every setting and options and I cannot find the sound source at all. Does not do it all the time but I cannot track where this sound comes from when device sits for a while...
Sounds crazy but anyone have this experience on new 4.4.2 device?
Do you have an alarm set?

Since you just got this device I take it you're not rooted. Otherwise you could install App Ops via xposed installer and go to Media and control what apps are using Media function of your device (Screenshot is from my Nexus 4 but its the same for the Note, I was too lazy to go get it )
Are you sure there's no alarm apps, or maybe live wallpapers? Or maybe if you side loaded an apk then maybe it could be that. I'm just pulling at straws.
Post a list of installed user apps and I'll take a look and see if anything seems out of the ordinary :good:

Yeah, you should see it running under media and then you can just block access.
The same applies to the other heart app you were taking about. You can also block notifications in App Ops. There's also another way to do this. Go to settings-apps, select the Heart one and press the 'show notifications button'
