I dont know what program is doing this but i get random icons that appear n my homescreen for games and other crap all the time. When i touch them, it brings me to website for those type of things. I also get a notification star in my notifications up top and it is always a ad for my phone being slow or some thing about battery life etc. I never click on those so cant tell you where they would take me. I always swipe then away.
Does anyone know how to get rid of these, what program to delete or do you have this happening as well and what did you do?
Thanks
It's an app you downloaded. You will have to find which one. When you find it, uninstall that garbage. Absolutely unacceptable.

I have no idea which app it could be. Id have to nearly delete them all unless there is a way to figure it out though my first guess would be a game app.
Download airpush detector from the play store and open the app and press scan...it'll show apps that are causing the problem and gives you the option of uninstalling them.

If you are rooted you can get the app droidwall. It lets you block internet access to any app you want. Just block Internet access to ringdroid and you will no longer get those ads

Wow that's surprising I've been using Ringdroid for years now and I've never experienced this issue.

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..

it will be really awesome to have this feature cuz removing big mess of all day one by one is really messy

That's what I don't get. The purpose of it is to switch quickly between apps. The task manager is there to sort out ram etc, not the recent apps screen.

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.

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'

This is driving me nuts as i work with this phone and receive ten's of calls from different numbers each day.
The phone app (i think) keeps asking me in the notification area after calls "Know xxx-xxxxxxx?" save this caller to phone book or something similar. Its a yellow base color notification..
Any idea how to kill this "feature" ?
That isn't the stock phone app. You have another one that is causing this off behavior. When the notification comes up next time long press the notification. A new menu will appear and the name of the app will show at the top. You can then try and turn off the feature in that apps settings or from the menu that appears after long pressing the notification. Turning it off in the apps settings would be a better solution though.
