[HTC Inspire 4G] Psionfenix:
Ok, i tried searching, but I havent come up with anything (honest, i swear, haha. I did come up with quick office, but that's not the icon i'm getting).

Anyhow, around noon everyday, I get a notification that looks like a star with a small circle in it (not sure if the icon itself is rom dependant, i'm using CM7). I took a screen cap of it, which i've included, unfortunately, i didn't get the cap of the ad itself, just the icon (damn program i downloaded just for this, lol).

Any ideas of what it may be? I really don't want to have to start uninstalling programs, as it only pops up once a day (so it would take me a LONG time, potentially, to figure it out).

Thanks in advance, and sorry if this isn't the right section, but it didnt happen on my aria...(ignore the ad at the bottom of the page, since thats from the screen cap program i grabbed real fast), only pay attention to the little star icon at the top.)
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
Could it be astro file manager? Looks similar to the folder icon on your homescreen

Sent from my calculator
[HTC Inspire 4G] Psionfenix:
hmm, I'm not sure. I had astro on my aria also, and it didn't pop up, I can try removing it to see. I looked through my icons and none are the same as that icon. I'll try to screen cap the actual ad (i clicked on one and it went to viamob or something, so i sent the cancel text to it, to no avail). I thought i checked in running applications last time it popped up, but maybe that was after (i tend to wake up and check notifications when i'm asleep), i'll try it again.
[HTC Inspire 4G] BillTheCat:
This is at least one reason why I always buy the software that I intend to use, the other reason being to reward the developers for their work.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Psionfenix:
I buy things I use. But i do have ad-supported software on the phone as well (i like to try before i buy, and frankly, i wouldnt buy an app if the ad-supported version dropped notifications on me).

anyhow, a few more hours and i'll get a better screenie, i hope.

also, i only downloaded the adsupported drocap for THIS purpose, otherwise, i have no reason to screen cap the phone, and i'm certainly not buying an app for a couple screenshots, haha.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Psionfenix:
better screenie. If they all said "gameloft" or something on it, i'd know what to be suspect about, but they vary wildly.
[HTC Inspire 4G] XAviierG:
What apps do you have installed
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
What happens when you click on that notification?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Psionfenix:
I have a ton of apps, probably waaaay to many to try to list, though, I guess I can.

If i click the icon it takes me to the advertisement. In this case it took me to a gameloft advertisement (previously it took me to a viamob, and whatever else it sends, unfortunately, its never JUST the same thing, or i'd easily know what the program is).

since my aria didn't do it, i'll list what i have that i didnt have on the aria (though i've removed some since, this is what's left)

adobe flash

browsix

current widget

jscreen fix (stupid dead pixel)

light grid pro (live wallpaper)

nova (gameloft game)

webkey

xformula

i know someone is going to point out the ad was for gameloft, and i have a gameloft game, but that's the first time it was a gameloft ad. lol

I also have avg antivirus and lookout. AVG tries to report things, but the first thing that pops up is superuser. Which, obviously i dont want to uninstall, so yeah. Lookout doesnt report anything at all.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
It's your gameloft game lol

What's xformula?

Sent from my calculator
[HTC Inspire 4G] Psionfenix:
haha. i did have the game installed on my aria also though, i just couldnt play it very well.

xformula is a game also, by GOGN (global online game networks), its a racing game.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Psionfenix:
Ok, so i clicked on the ad this morning (its STILL coming, awesome). anyway, the ad didn't load up properly, so I hit my home button and it took me back to my homescreen, obviously. I then did a home longpress to view recently opened apps, and money lover popped up. I uninstalled, maybe that will do the trick? lol
[HTC Inspire 4G] Psionfenix:
So, after removing money lover, no more ads (at least this far, guess i found the problem)
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
Sounds good. Hopefully it helps others if they have a similar problem.

Ads in the statusbar, epic fail on that app
[HTC Inspire 4G] Psionfenix:
If it stays off for another day or two, i will know for sure that's what it was (the only thing i had deleted yesterday, after the hint from "running apps"). I'll probably go peruse the thread they have on it here at xda, see if anyone else had the issue, and at least give the dev a heads up.
[HTC Inspire 4G] helushune:
Seriously. I hope this doesn't become a trend. The person who came up with it should be slapped with a series of wet noodles as well.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Psionfenix:
+1 on that. haha.

It's weird though, because I didn't get the ads on my aria (that I remember, i guess i could boot it up and check, maybe it was an update?). Strange anyway.
[HTC Inspire 4G] thoth_19:
Haha agreed!
[HTC Inspire 4G] Psionfenix:
because i don't want to point fingers if i'm not 100% sure, if i dont get an ad again today (in about 9 hours, just to be safe), i'm going to reinstall moneylover, and see if I get an ad again, just to be sure. If i do, I know its that program and I'll post a warning on the thread about it. :)

waited, reinstalled last night, woke up and had a notification in my status bar. the culprit is/was MONEY LOVER.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Psionfenix:
Just a heads up, the dev contacted me about his application and says he removed the ad (air-ad, or somesuch nonsense). I'm going to retry it and I'll let you know (for the future, if this issue ever arises)
[HTC Inspire 4G] kravguy:
Not to jump in on this thread but I just wanted to tell everyone of yall that it is really awesome seeing this kind of dialog going on. It's what makes this community top notch.
[HTC Inspire 4G] inaimless:
I'm having the same problem, no money lover program

Hey!

You have all probably moved on to more exciting things, but I'm having the same problem as Psionfenix, only more maddening.

I don't have the money lover program, and the program that is doing this won't show up in the recently used programs when I long press home, only the programs I legitimately installed show up.

I downloaded 3 "this day in history" applications and that is when the problem started. I deleted all three programs (and haven't downloaded any other programs in months and months) but the advertisements still come. I know all the programs that are on my phone, there are no weird ones I can uninstall!

The advertisement that shows up in my status bar takes me to browser, where I can't use any of the browser options (menu is disabled).

Some "internet lawyer" and mobilepromotionalnetwork.com are listed there, both I tried to contact to ask how to remove this malware, but I don't know what else to do!

Am i going to have to factory reset? :'(

Thank you for any help you can give!

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OzzYGuY:
Was looking around on Tab prices yesterday.

Ebay...350.00 upwards etc....

Telstra.com are offering them outright for AU 299.00 but are locked to telstra network.

Rang Harvey Norman this morning, and they matched the 299.00 price tag.

The Galaxy Tabs they sell are also SIM Un-Locked.

So, im now the proud owner of a Galaxy Tab.

Just thought id post this info for any other fellow aussies who are looking for a new tab, at a great price.

Harvey norman will continue to match the 299.00 price.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipit:
LOL the Telstra TABS ($299) are NOT locked to Telstra. Not sure where you got that info from.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OzzYGuY:
From the Sales representative i was speaking to on the phone yesterday.

Wouldnt surprise me though if the info is wrong, havent spoken to too many telstra reps that really know their job anyway. ;)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] natious:
I have a telstra tab and its definetly not locked, ive used a optus sim in it, but damn $299 i may go pick one up today
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OzzYGuY:
Well, im glad they arent locked. Was just passing on the info i knew, so that it may benefit others.

I actually went in to the telstra shop this morning with intention to get one, but they had no stock, and werent sure when new stock would arrive

When Harvey Norman told me they would match the price, i was stoked.

Considering they have the Tab on display for $589.00, it does pay to ask the question.

I saved good money, and got a great buy i think.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipit:
Just out of interest, are the Harvey Norman Tabs the Telstra branded P1000T ones? or the standard P1000?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OzzYGuY:
On the box, mine says GT-P1000
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ipit:
ok thanks so that's the non-telstra one. it's suitable for those who never plan on using Telstra Next G.

Personally I'd rather go with the Telstra model for 2 reasons.

a) Option of using Next G if I wanted to

b) Vodafone will be 'soon' rolling out their network on the same 850 band.

Downside - If you're currently with anyone but Telstra you won't get a connection is rural areas.

it is definitely $299 and unlocked. This deal start from last week on Telstra ONLINE OFFER ONLY and Telstra start the deal instore from this week.

It is very fast sell as the prices drop from $408 and for anyone who missed this deal (so many out of stock) you can grab one in JB HIFI, they also sell it for $299, not sure with Hardly Normal, opss i mean harvey norman

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] weka101:
Cool thanks for the info guys. I picked up a telstra branded tab today also and I have noticed that the wifi tethering is not enabled nor can i directly setup my hotmail account.

I have a HTC HD2 telstra version that I have played with many versions of android, unfortunatly the usb charging connection on that device is broken and I think it may be a while befor I'll be able to track down the part I need to repair it.

Anyway been playing with the new toy (samsung galaxy tab) since this morning and it's a rather cool device.

I'm with Telstra as I often find myself in real crap hole places for work where the only reception if any is telstra.

Once i figure out how to root this device and flash a standard no brand rom I will as Telstra have loaded up this device with all there own bloatware that is mostly useless.

There is a great article about rooting on androidcentral that was posted about a month ago go read that.
[G2 and Desire Z General] OneGoodKnock:
I previously had an HD2 and spent ages with that, flashing new roms etc. I understood the point of that as WM was a pretty poor OS. However with Android I'm not sure if there is any point in real terms.
[G2 and Desire Z General] OneGoodKnock:
Thanks for that, have read the article which was very good. I couldn't find any good reason to root my phone, so maybe it's just something that's not for me.
[G2 and Desire Z General] I AM VS4:
Rooting has lots of great benifits. You can flash amazing OS and experience the full developer experience on your device. Wifi Tether for those who want to shoot Wifi from there phone with no charge. Great customization choices when you pick a ROM that allows it. And you can even increase the value of your phone when resale comes up in the future. The root method is a little complicated but it will be worth it when your done. Better your device for your liking and have fun doing it of course! Hope I helped :)
[Nook Color General] cKGunslinger:
Stock Nook Color - Rooted

--

I primarily use my Nook as a bedside tablet / alarm clock (using Night Clock). I have it docked and charging, with audio output going to external speakers. It is like this 90% of the time, but I occasionally unhook it to read in bed, or around the house.

In replacing my "real" clock radio, I'm starting to miss the Sleep Timer. Ideally, I'd like an app that would play a "mellow" playlist of mp3s, with a timer function that can be set for a hour or more. If that app could also lower the playing volume over time as well, that'd be great (but it would have to be app-volume, or at least return the volume back to the preset so I can still hear the MP3 alarm in the morning.)

I'm still rather new to Android, but does something like this exist?
[Nook Color General] RobertsDF:
I use Sleeptimer. Its not exactly what your looking for though. It allows you to select app you want to run and then set how long you want you want it to run( in 1 and 5 minute increments) .

In my case, I tell it to run either Pandora or Q3( the music player I use) and then I have it set to 30 minutes. Then each night I open sleeptimer, press start timer and then press run music player and it starts whaterever app I had selected. It will then close the program after your selected time( although you can shake the nook to extend the time by five minutes).

You could have it open up your music player app and have a 'mellow' playlist that you play, or Pandora with a mellow artist selected. Unfortunately it cannot lower the volume over time.
[Nook Color General] japzone:
Easy, Mortplayer. Best Music Player and has TONS of features. Including Alarm Clock and Sleep Timer Functions. Just head on over to Market and type in 'Mortplayer'. It's completely free with no Ads.

Be sure to explore the Settings menu as there are alot of Good features hidden there including Swipe gestures and a Custom Lock Screen. Also if your running CM7 and have the Power Widget in the Notification bar enabled the Play/Pause button works with Mortplayer.
