I know this question has been posed before but...its a shame to be on these great custom roms such as Project x and Jv4 and have themed versions of Google apks like playstore and you tube, only to be borked by Google play services that updates to current versions! Can this be averted at all, I heard that the process can be froze via Titanium backup? Any help would be great thanks. ...

Uncheck Automatic Updates in Play Store settings... That should be all you need to do.

Could it possibly be from having google sign on syncing app data?

Yeah that might do it too, I never do that... I just back the important ones up with Ti Backup. Also try going into the App Manager, hit menu button, then "Clear App Preferences". And if it asks you when installing an app don't hit Verify and Install. It checks the Play Store when you do that.
Ok tried all the above even after a full restore unticked all do not update and sync, and uninstall updates and it just bounces right back to new versions of play store, YouTube and google voice, currently looking for correct process to freeze possibly with TB

They push them through Google Play Services now, you can't stop it, you just have to find a themed version of the latest.

The Carrier Name on my friends Galaxy Nexus is showing additionally to the real name this string '@@@' (see image below). It is running ICS 4.0.2
Does anybody know where this could possibly come from?

Sigh... this was mentioned at least once before. It's most likely a malware app.

I'll see if I can find the thread. If not, check the apps. See what third party apps have been downloaded and then we can give more insight to what it might be.

Finally found it. Phew. I don't see an answer though. I'm assuming it was a third party application.

I had this as well but it seemed to go away on its own after an hour or so? Only happened once though....
Something similar happened once where ROGERS became @OGERS on the phone. It cleared after I rebooted.
No malware
Stock unlocked/unrooted 4.0.1 yakjuux
I sent the screenshot I took to Google, but as expected, they didnt care
A simple reboot was not enough.
He had to remove the battery as well. This fixed it and the characters did not reappear since than.

google having access to your data. I like to keep as much of my data separated as much as possible. I already use Chrome, G+, Android, GVoice, and Google as my primary search engine. I think I'll keep dropbox for my cloud storage....only using 25% anyway.

Google Drive gives you 5GB of free storage. It syncs with your Google Docs and I assume there will be even more perks with Google integration like everything else.
Dropbox gives you 2GB free. Unencrypted URLs, limited sharing, and pineapple. I moved away from it as fast as I could.
If Google Drive is quicker(and less douchy) than SugarSync then I'm making the jump right quick. I hope there will be a Linux client if there isn't one already.
Drop box isn't as bad as u make it sound
I have about 13gb and I never paid a cent
There are guides on sites like life hacker that teach u how to get around 26gb free

I was wondering if my GS3 might have malware since the phone notifies me that I've won a $1000 gift card and crap like that. Anyone know of an app that verifies what is giving me these notifications?
Sounds to me like you have an app that uses ads that will display in the notification window.
Install any free apps recently?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Yup if this just started recently, check the last couple of apps you installed. Bet you one of those is throwing ads on you notification bar.

Anything porn related or fart related should not be downloaded, joking aside there will be apps that have malware just just read what you are installing before you install it if you are unsure of it. I have had android since the 2nd week of the G1's release and haven't had one malware app on my phone. Just be smart about it and you'll be alright.

Did you change the dpi on your phone? From your screenshot it looks like you did, but I can't tell. Doing that will most likely mess up the play store. There are two fixes for it:
1. Download and install a multi-dpi play store apk. They should be easy to find with some Google-fu.
2. Clear the app data from both the play store and the Google services framework (under manage apps), then reboot your phone. Note: clearing data on Google services framework might mess up other apps, so do this at your own risk.
Hope this helps!
