Hi Guys,
I get a notification with a star icon next to it with the wording "you may have a virus"
if i drop down the menu bar and click on it it takes me to a website a that ask me to download something.
Back button doesn't work on it and only the Home button make it gone.
Id this a virus? or some sticky up try to sell me whatever?
Could be something from TMO preloaded apps?
BTW im running darkside v5
Thanks for the help.

His is definitely an app that's causing this. I was having he same issue with a live wallpaper I download from the market. Deleted it right away.

Hi there just got a problem here. If u look at the screenshot of my phone there is a gap and I don't have any clue how do I get rid of it. It annoys me. Now here how did I get that, installed notification toggle app moved that to system/app to get some extra features however I found power control is more convenient that notification toggle app so moved that back to user/app and uninstalled that and I got that gap . There used to be a little icon of notification toggle. I would be so greatful if someone can help me.
Factory reset?
Same exact thing happened to me. The only way I was able to fix it was restore from backup

Are you running the notification toggles app?
Does anyone know where I can find the Task Manager that is included with the ICS ROMS for the Epic 4G Touch.
in the app drawer. Not trying to be a smartass. Or go to system settings. Then manage apps. Are you trying to close apps or delete them?

I sometimes use the emoji keyboard that I downloaded off of the Play Store, but right now I 'froze' the app via Titanium Backup Pro because almost 3 times a day, I will get strange advertisements in my notification bar/drawer. And note that I only see this in this CyanogenMod ROM I'm running right now, when I'm running stock TouchWiz, these strange ads never appear. Is there any way to prevent these annoying ads?
Forgot to mention that I do have AdAway installed and working, but it doesn't work for the emoji keyboard.
I'm running CyanogenMod Version: 10.1-20130304-EXPERIMENTAL-d2tmo-M2

You can try using an air push blocker, or a different keyboard like go keyboard or kii which both have emoji inputs

This one, for example.
Also if running jb or higher hi can long press on the notification and select app info. That will take you to the a app info screen and select disable notifications.

You can either clear data from app settings or open goggle now and type a few letters on the search bar then hit menu and the menu should pop up and stay

I think you should keep that sort of personal information off XDA. Nobody cares about what you want to hide from your wife.

No you got it all wrong . Thats not personal at all I changed the location and the extra info was to share the fact that places you google can pop up without warning in goole now . So I think I may have helped someone avoid trouble .

It was working before the md4 update. I could delete from the pull down curtain. Now all I get is the notification without the delete /reply options. I have tried all different settings without success. I even uninstalled gmail, deleted data and cashe, reinstalled. No dice. I really liked to be able to delete without going to the app....

Any one?
if there are any other notifications in the pulldown (including one's that can't be swiped away) the option doesn't show up... I stopped using ds battery saver for this reason

Hmmmm. The only other thing there is the green lookout icon. I'll try removing that and see if it changes.

You were right!
I went to lookout settings and turned off the icon. Now all works again.... I Never would have thought it was from lookout. I even sent them an email to alert them of that. They sent a reply in 5mins. Said it shouldn't do that....
Thanks again for helping!

It's not lookout, it's gmail, if there is already any kind of notification on there it doesn't give the expanded delete reply option... :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

The lookout support guy said he has the icon and gmail works properly for him.... maybe someday there will be a solution. For now icon goes away....
I can't believe it was that simple and that I didn't think of it!

Again, it's not a lookout problem, is a gmail problem.. nothing lookout can do to fix this, it would have to be coded into the gmail app to allow it to display these options when there is other notifications
Sent from my ANTHRAX sniffing GS3
I think the gmail notification has two modes: minimized and full (with buttons).
The notification only shows the buttons when it's the "top" notification. Apps like lookout have persistent notifications, so the gmail notification is never top dog and therefore doesn't go into "full" mode.
I know in 4.2.2, the method I described allows you to expand minimized notifications. I do a medium-length press and hold, then drag the notification down to expand it. I'll try to capture a video of what I mean (never captured video on my phone before).
