Odds are it is one of the apps you are using. I for get then name of the AD SDK that puts them in your notifications but it is annoying.

What ROM is this (doesn't make a difference unless it's a pre-installed app's ads)? I had this happen with a lyric app I installed, just used rom toolbox to block ads
Look in google play for Airpush Detector. It will single out any apps that are pushing spam to the notification bar.

Using Macnut r1. Just started getting them, though. I'll try that app. Thanks.

I am confused as to why this is even allowed to run and you have to "opt out" of it? - I know google is an advertising company but they have never been suck dicks about adds in the past so why allow this to run on your platform
this is total crap, anyone who uses airpush should just go off and die in a field somewhere
here is an idea, how about I have a store and I give out free samples but after you have eaten it you find out from other people that there is poison in the sample and that you should have "opted out" of the poison - I dont have to say that there is poison in there before you eat it and if you ask me I dont even have to answer but now you have to get the antidote from someone else if you even know about the poison until you feel sick - you cant remember what is causing you to be sick seeing as you ate a few things (installed a few apps) and one of them is causing problems for you - now you have to figure out using something from someone else (airpush detector) and cure your problem

I have evo running cm7 someone hacked my phone they got my txt msgs and forwarded them. I always have my phone. How can I find out how they did this and how can I prevent this.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
OK, well it really isnt possible to remotly hack a phone unless you installed an app that let somebody do this. So, two questions, what have you installed recently, and how do you know somebody hacked your phone?
Well really nothing and I also get 10 to 15 blocked calls a day I have Mr number blocker installed to block these but somehow some get through to my voicemail. The messages were saved and the whole thread was forwarded. Also pictures get forwarded and phone makes calls by itself
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Sounds weird.
Full wipe and/or factory reset just to be safe. Probably not a good idea to use any backups from the infected rom.
LBE Security is an app for free on the market.
It'll prompt you if an untrusted app tries to do anything malicious like that.

How does he know that they were forwarded.... probably someone was messing with your phone
With adb you can use the following to find out what all is running, whatever is doing it should show up on there
Code:
adb shell ps
I always keep my phone on me. I know they were forwarded because my ex got pic and messages and I did not send them thanks guys

check your apps through TB or manage apps and see what is all on your phone, maybe your ex or someoene installed something on your phone to forward texts.. i had a ex try and install a app on my phone (cant remeber its name), this app was suppose to be hidden and only accessable by hiting some numbers on the dial pad and hitting send.. But i noticed right away somethign was weird in my phone (it was acting real slow) and i looked in applications and manage apps and found it and uninstalled it..
Looked at my apps, saw nothing weird

If you're on of those people who believe your phone can get hacked I'd suggest lookout security or avg free antivirus to ease your mind.
Yea, I find it hard to believe someone hacked your phone JUST to send pictures to your ex girlfriend. Are you sure you didnt get drunk and send them yourself? Or let your friend borrow the phone?
I don't drink and its happening well thanks anyway I guess I wont find a solution here

Are you sure someone didn't sign in to your Sprint picture mail acct online? I think they can forward from there. Also if you always use the same password, they can dial your number and access your vm and forward them etc

I received a notification in the status bar to upgrade to the newest market. I clicked on it and was taken to a site I had never heard of before - wrappio.com. After looking at the site and reading some stuff online it looks like borderline spyware / spam to me. Needless to say I am not too happy about it. I have not installed any suspect .apk files and only downloaded apps from the market. I am running Juggs 4.1 along with the ICS theme / Darkside theme.
Can anyone tell me where this might have come from?
Thanks, in advance.
I see that type of issue alot with my customers that stop into the store. Download lookout or avg. One of your apps is causing that issue it happened to me with mp3 download pro. All kinds of odd notifications were popping up.

hello,
i have a epic 4g rooted, stock rom, seems that when i go to the market, it does not show the apps that i have installed and/or the ones that i purchased. additionally, if i were to delete one of these missing apps, they still dont show up in the market/google play. I have attempted to use various market enablers, but this has not solved my issue. on another note, and perhaps related, when i use titanium backup only one app shows setcpu, while previously it was working.
a lending hand would greatly be appreciated.

Try wiping data in Google Play, and let it rebuild your list. You may need to use Titanium backup for this.

The problem is FRUSTRATING the "F" out of me with Google Play. I have a rooted and running AKOP epicmtd milestone 5.2 and when I go to download certian apps (even ones I already had before on my apps list), I get a black box that says "This device isn't compatible with this version" It's making me crazy because there are LOTS of apps that are pretty common that I use I cant download. Like Facebook for instance. But there are more important ones that I count on that I cant get back. Anyone else have this problem? Anyone solve this problem?? I sure could use some help cause Im bout ready to throw this thing at my annoying step daughter LOL! Thanks

Hey Kenny, I followed the directions to the LCD settings thing here, and now I cant get into Play at all! GRRR. it says something about background data needing to be enabled, but when I click on the option box to "enable" this background data, it takes me to "accounts and sync" and from there I dont know what the heck to do. Ive rebooted from there, Ive done this process over and over about 5 times and it's still not working and now some of my app icons have been changed to the little android guy. VERY confused now EESH!! Anymore ideas?
Thanks,
Ridge
Reflash the ROM..isn't that standard density? It probably wants you to enable gmail sync and sign in.

At the very top of accounts and sync in the settings you will see background data... check the box... background data has to run for the market to run

I am getting two ads a day in my Notification Bar. It's odd because I don't download anything from the market that looks suspicious. I also read the comments for everything I download. Does anyone know of a way I can figure out what app is pushing these ads or if there is a app that will scan my phone for malware?

Get airpush from playstore it will tell you what app is causing it
sent via galaxy s3 on jelly bean
If you find the offending app, you can opt out of their push notifications via a website depending what company is pushing the spam on you. I honestly forget which company it was ... you'll have to go to the playstore and find the offending app and check out the description. I know one of them had instructions on how to opt out.
Wont work for all of them, but you might get lucky.
There is also an airpush opt out app in the playstore as well.

I installed a green theme tonight from one of the posts in this thread. I am presently running Darkside Evolution V8. I previously installed a red theme from the same post so I know it works, at least before. Tonight I installed the theme, flashed DS cache wipe, reboot. Phone says "android is updating" so, ok. After it reboots I get the following message (see screen shot) I click the button to try and sign in and I get the other message (screen shot) I tried rebooting, flashing Gapps, clearing data from account services. Any thoughts on why a theme would have caused that? Or maybe an underlying issue? My phone works fine btw. I can use gmail, playstore, everything. I just get that awful notification once in awhile.
