Spam?

Looking through my app list the only thing new I see is getjar. Something about that app seemed funny. Has anyone else had this problem?

I haven't noticed getjar anywhere yet but I sure have noticed the spam directly from Sprint, and it's really quite annoying. Does anyone know of a way to stop the spam which can be viewed in the OP's screenshot for example.

Get Air Push Detector app from Market. It will tell you the guilty app. For me it was MP3 Music Download. It got deleted immediately ...lol

Delete, one star apps that use Air Push. Mention it in the review, discourage devs to use this shady ad pusher.

I can't believe it!
I thought it was coming from the carrier so it is a big relief to find that the culprit was mp3 downloader pro.
Thanks a bunch!

Airpush detector is great. For me, it was mp3 music downloader pro as well. I now use Free Mp3 Download - its awesome

Yeah, it is the Sprint Zone app. They don't allow you to deselect all the "notifications", you have to leave one selected. FYI, notifications are what sprint calls the ads. I froze the sprint Zone app with bloat freezer.

I thought for sure it was spam directly from sprint, but not so sure now. I've removed "MP3 Downloader Pro" and haven't noticed any ads popup in notifications since. The notifications I was getting had a green + symbol and one notification was pointing me towards an alternative android market. I'll still check out that Bloat Freezer, sounds useful thanks!

Anyway to erase frequently called/contacted from phone/people apps

Haven't found a way to remove frequently called or contacted from the phone or people app. Kinda sux seeing my ex's info right there every single time. Temps me to text or call. And yes drunk texts apply here so it'd b nice to be able to remove these on demand lol
Anyone know how?

Press the menu button and then clear call log.

Not the call log. The frequently contacted. Its the last column in each app, phone app and people app. designated with a star icon at the top of the people app

Oh sorry. I misunderstood you. You could try clearing data in the contacts app. Not contact storage.
I haven't tried it so I can't confirm. That's my only educated guess.

Hold down on contacted and then hit the 3 dot thing and tap remove from log. To remove favorites you gotta log in and click on contact and then find the find the setting to remove starred contacts but it didnt update on phone. I dont know how to proceed with that part.

Bump. This really is annoying.

Only way I have found is to clear data for contacts storage. Really annoying, hope they add it in later on.

Clearing data in contacts storage works on mine, and it must on yours as well.
Only thing I can think of if that doesn't work, is if you store your contacts on phone or sim. But can't understand why you would do that.

How can this data be cleared? I have been trying to find a way to clear the frequently called list for weeks since ICS came out!!

Anyone thought about checking in their Gmail account online to see if Google has said contact(s) flagged as frequently contacted?

Sadly that clears even the call log. I want to clear the frequently called list or some specific numbers from that list but maintain my history.
I don't mind the frequently called list to be hidden since I can manually clear the history. Frequently called list however does not allow deleting some numbers.

This really is annoying.

you could just install exdialer from the market. you can delete individually calls from call history (incoming/outgoing/missed). and you get T9 dialing with it as well as a bunch of other useful stuff missing from the stock dialer.
doesn't consume much resources, very fast, and you can have it look almost exactly like stock dialer with its ICS theme.
If you want to have the same stock dialer icon you can use desktop visualizer (free) and link it to the stock dialer icon.

[REQ] App that reports read sms

Looking for an sms app that can report back to me when a message i sent has been read by the receiver. Need this for work been looking all day and havent found it.
Handcent says its does this but everyone giving feedback on that app are saying horrible things about missing text/not receiving text. I installed this and tried it sending about 30 text and 2 werent received until like 10 minutes later
Gosms - not sure if it does have this capability looked at the details of what this app does and didnt mentioned it did.
smspop up- doesnt do it just gives a delivery report. Which is understandable since this is just to make your sms pop up.
theres another one cant remember the name of it but the recipient has to have the app installed as well and has to be sent from that app.
Anyway to make the stock app do this?
**Mod's Delete if you want or merge but i searched over and over on this site and other sites and did not find the answer. Posted on here instead of general android app because this is the phone i use so im always looking at this thread.

Just use Kik messenger and get all your friends to join. It is live messaging and shows when messages are read. Just a thought, not exactly what you wanted as it doesn't work for SMS. A cool thing is it also tells you if they are typing.
Not sure if Handcent does that or not.

the thing is i need that feature for the text i send to coworkers.

i use chomp sms and it has read notifications fully integrated and working
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

It won't work with normal texts. Kik/all those other apps are able to show when messages are read because they're internet-based.

Only certain carriers allow it. Not sprint .

gonna take a look at that app. does it have issues with not receiving or taking too long to receive a text.
Edit: looked at the feedback and many complaining about not receiving text and many not being able to send messages but I guess ymmv

Push notifications

is it just me or does the push notifications really suck on Android? I play all those "with friends" games and I never get the notifications... i have to manually go inside the app itself for it to update...
sorry this is my first Android phone and I do love it but this is the only problem I have with it; iphone does a better job.
please also excuse my ignorance if there is a different or certain policy to android because like I said before, this is my first phone therefore I am obviously new.
lastly, if I get flamed for creating a similar post, I do apologize for that too. I'm on tapatalk and tried using the search feature but nothing came up when I put "push notifications" as keywords.
thanks. had to rant since it annoyed the hell out of me

As soon as I rooted my phone and flashed a different ROM I pretty much stopped getting notifications from any app

Like i said blame the developers all the google apps work fine and clients as well. Facebook push has hardly ever worked and the apps now is slow hangs and hardly ever works. Gmail push always comes through immediately. Have you check to make sure Gmail is synced in your google account. Try a different facebook client? Besides their own app which is horrible on ios and android btw.

until fb figures a way to monetize on mobile apps they will ALWAYS suck.
and it isn't just you. FB messenger will work sometimes when it wants to. FB itself is usually pretty accurate for me, same with Plume.
i just wished BLN pro would always work right :\

Bln pro works fine for me I use blinking. But plume will give give me notifications when it wants me to sometimes 10 minutes after.. The standard twitter app sends me mentions and everything immediately but it puts me off since its lack of features. Best twitter app is tweetbot for the iphone.

Oh I thought you guys had push notification ads
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA

Words with Friends [and every "with friends"] game uses poll not push. You can have it poll more frequently under settings. Obviously it'll drain more battery though.

Email?
Strangely I didn't have any issues with push when I was using the CM7 alpha. I just recently move to Juggernaut 5.0 and while I love the ROM I don't get emails pushed to me immediately anymore. Anyone have a similar experience?

TXT messages not showing

Today while talking to my sister in law messages just stopped showing up in the messages application but they still show up as a notification so I know they are coming, and any that i send do not show in the app either.
I rebooted the phone and still has the same issue.
I'm running a cyanogen mod oct 29th nightly from last week, i was thinking of installing a newer update but wanted to check if that would be the only option

slight update
I tried some alternate messaging apps and still the same issue with those as well

Bump,
I really need help

Umhh it IS a nightly and could simply be a bug. Check your spam/rejected list or settings in your messaging app and make sure you didn't enable a global rule.

Never had this issue. Only other thing I can think of is to force stop the messaging app and clear the cache. Although, you said you tried other messaging apps.. it's worth a shot. If not, maybe someone else can help. Sorry!! ;{
