Any Idea what this icon is? I have closed ALL running apps and this icon persists in the notification bar....Help?
Some sort of adware probably, installed when you installed something else. There is an app you can use to find what it is but I don't remember off hand what it's called

If it's adware it's Airpush. Download Airblocker or Airpush detector.

Notification Toggle
It looks very close to icon of the Notification Toggle app by j4velin
Do check if this is the case. The icon might have gotten themed/updated.
This icon is old...this is from GPS in older versions of android...

Is there a way or an app that displays the current CPU Mhz on the notification bar? (Kind of like SetCPU but on the notification bar, instead of within the app).
Looking one for just testing. Don't want any of those swiss-army-knife apps that include a million things though.
Display CPU frequency (and maybe option of displaying percentage instead) should be the only feature.
Search market for temp+CPU pro. There's an option to put a selected state on your status bar.

Thanks, the market has really been bogged down with keywords and meta tags and such.
Even with filters it's hard to find what your looking for lol.
Yeah it seems like you need to put in the exact app name for it to show up correctly. Kind of strange that the search function could use improvement in the Google android market..

I thought that i was the only one trying to find things. Just recently i was trying to find Shoot me in the market but forgot the actual name of it, took forever with keywords. Didn't come right up with screenshot, screen grabber, root screen, etc...

Recently I've been getting an annoying notification once a day from "Top App Manager" recommending apps for me to download and install. (Which appear to suck.)
I suspect --but am not sure-- that this may be linked to the "MP3 Music Download" app. Has anyone experienced this?
And most importantly, does anybody know how to make it stop?
Many thanks.

Search for "AirPush Blocker" on the market .... You may just need to remove the app that installed it ...

Airblock but neither works.

Top App Manager piggy backs with game
My Iconia recently starting showing a red 'A' status icon. Clicking it would pop up a messages about Featured App. This was surprising because I never installed a 'top app manager'. I started uninstalling games one by one until the top app manager icon went away. Upon uninstalling 'Piggy Adventure', the icon disappeared. Go figure. I hope this info helps others.
Found this link/app. Sounds interesting, I wonder if this could possibly help themers?

Ps. Since the apk is not attached, should it be posted in general section?
No it still belongs here
I downloaded the apk
Installed it too
It did nothing
There was no icon for it and it didn't show up when I pressed home
I deleted it thinking it was malware

There is no launcher app.
It is launched by viewing a preview url for the mockup editor just like the Play store can be.
You need to mockup something in the editor and then you can view it in the app.

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?

It's probably just some ad sponsored app. Just get AdAway and all your problems are solved.
Use this to find the offending app.....

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.

Hi there, give these Apps a go:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appspot.swisscodemonkeys.detector
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.denper.addonsdetector
Don't worry too much, it's just Airpush Advertisements, which are more annoying then harmful.
The above Applications are my recommendations, and work very well.
Cheers.
