I run autostarts and am hyper-vigilant about start up programs. Nothing looked out of place.

---------- Post added at 04:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:46 PM ----------

Thanks you for coming forward and explaining what is going on. I hope other company's/developers will learn form this.

That being said, I agree with ranphi. if we could just find out how the ad was pushed to use, we can then figure out who to lynch. :D

Thanks again.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] G.Ri:
I'm glad to see that the Mobo Task Killer people decided to post here, but all you've basically told us is the response I got from you twice in my email to you. We all want to know what advertisement network is responsible for this.

I do have unknown sources checked, I'm rooted, and I'll look into programs that start at boot (I wasn't aware such a tool was available), but my browsing is pretty limited. And even if we wipe and remove a rogue app that made its way in, it's a local fix and doesn't really stop the problem.

But I don't think we should be out to "lynch" developers that use this kind of advertising. I really don't have a problem with push ads. What I have a problem with is not knowing which app pushed the ad. The developers should be free to use this kind of advertising if they see it fitting, but they should be required by the market, by the advertising network that provides this type of ad, and by just common sense respect of their users to let us know if this kind of advertising is going to be used if we install their application. As it stands right now, I have no idea who is receiving the revenue from getting this ad on my phone.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] ranphi:
So has anyone who had the one ad for Mobo Task Killer Pro appear in their notification bar had any other ads appear since then? From the reading I did about AirPush over the last couple of days it sounds like it usually pushes around 2 ads a day to impacted phones but I haven't seen any other ads (so far).

Also, I've been scanning each day with the AirPush Detector app on my phone and it's had zero detections each time.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] NightSteel:
Ugh, I have this same notification appearing. It only seems to be happening every few days, and I've been uninstalling apps trying to figure out which one it is, but so far, no luck. I tried using AirPush Detector, and also Addons Detector, but neither of them are detecting AirPush. I thought I had figured it out when I went a few days without getting the notification, but it's back this morning. Android obviously needs to tell you what app a notification is coming from; the fact that people have had to contact app developers and try to wring information out of them is ridiculous.

Edit: I just found the following review on the Market for the First Aid app:

Gave me pop up

October 24, 2011

App faked the market to pop up a notification about a task killer app by the same developer. Terrible advertisement practice, I'm uninstalling.

I checked Addons Detector and this app is the only one I have using the InMobi addon. Maybe that's it? Kind of a shame, I wanted to have first aid info at my fingertips, but ugh.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] SwissArmyBud:
hey guys...

Same problem here, I don't have any extra evidence our clues as to why this is happening - I'm in the same boat as the rest of you with dead end scans using AirPushDetector. On the other hand, I do have the (a?) first aid app installed and that makes as much sense to me as anything else I've read, especially if they're using inmobi, w/etf that is...
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] phlunkie:
I have the first aid app. Well take it off.

Also I was kidding about lynching.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Insp_Gadget:
Been having this problem as well. Just got an ad this morning for Mobo Task Killer. This started a couple weeks ago.

I have First Aid also. I just uninstalled it. We'll see if that gets rid of the problem.

By the way,

- I'm not rooted, never been.

- I don't have the Unknown Sources option checked.

- AirPush Detector comes up negative.

Edit: Just did some more checking. First Aid is not the only app I have that uses Inmobi. I also have the Android Central app, Angry Birds, and a few other apps... All of which I've had for a long time without this issue.

I did discover (for my phone at least) that Soundhound (paid version) is the only app on my phone (out of the 171 3rd-party apps I have installed) that uses an ad add-on called "MobClix". Hardly conclusive, since I've had Soundhound for over a year, but can anyone else confirm a similar pattern?

Anyone else with this problem NOT have an app using MobClix?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] sf_smith:
I also get these, very annoying! I tried that gmail address (Mobo.task.killer@gmail.com) but now that account is disabled. Talk about invasive and sneaky, might be time to contact both Google and the BBB about them.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] bmitch3020:
Just passing along another confirmation that I've seen this same notification bar ad and also had the First Aid app installed. I've uninstalled now, so if you don't hear from me in a few days, I think you've found the culprit.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] shaqim:
I do not have the First Aid app but i got it too. Might be another app out there doing the same thing
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Insp_Gadget:
Do you have Soundhound?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] ForkySpoony:
First Aid was definitely the culprit on my phone. I left the notification up and did a force stop on First Aid, and the notification immediately disappeared.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] NightSteel:
developer.inmobi.com/wiki/index.php?title=Android#Setting_the_Listener

I did a little Googling and found this. It would seem that InMobi is *capable* of status notifications, based on it, and ForkySpoony's test seems fairly conclusive, too.

I highly recommend using Addons Detector and uninstalling any app using InMobi. I've not used Soundhound, so I couldn't tell you whether or not it does. Someone want to check?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] baseballfanz:
I use Soundhound both on my tablet and phone. Never had any unwanted ads in status bar yet.:D
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] shaqim:
No, dont have that one either
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Insp_Gadget:
Addons Detector was updated yesterday and now no longer shows InMobi on any of my installed apps. The developer added Facebook and a few other Addons to its detection capabilities. It could be a bug/oversight.

Angry Birds was one of the apps that showed InMobi before, and my copy of Angry Birds has not been updated.

It would appear that Soundhound is not the culprit, since you don't have it and it never showed Inmobi (only MobClix).
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] hcd2:
It's the First Aid app pushing, "a smart task killer to free your phone's..."

It's the First Aid app that is pushing, ""a smart task killer to free your phone's..." in the alerts
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Insp_Gadget:
Yes, I agree, that's the consensus. I was merely pointing out potential issues with the updated Addons Detector.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] SwissArmyBud:
Well this is interesting - if this isn't enough evidence to start a complaint with Google, I don't know what is!

Notification Bar w/ 7 Market Updates:

My Apps Updates w/ 6 Market Updates:

If you ask me, it appears as if there is a program hiding itself in there somewhere, asking for updates but masking its existence in general... Or maybe someone else has seen this before or maybe it's a known market error? That would let me sleep better but ultimately I think this is some kind of malware trying to hide out. I will uninstall First Aid and return when I have more information...
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] baseballfanz:
^^^Do you have more than one market accounts? Could be an app in another account?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] ranphi:
One thing that can cause this is if you've frozen an app via Titanium Backup and an update for that frozen app comes out. The Android Market will still be able to see the app and notify you of any updates for that frozen app.

Just FYI.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] denper:
Hi,

I am one of the developers of Addons Detector. You are correct, there is a bug/oversight in the code, I will release a bug fix as soon as possible.

Thanks.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Insp_Gadget:
You're welcome... Thanks for providing such a useful tool.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Umito:
Hi, I am the other dev from Addons Detector and just wanted to say that inMobi definitely isn't pushing ad notifications.

The link someone posted here goes about ad notifications, but this is for the developer to get in his code the notification that his normal display ad has been loaded. So this is not something about push notifications that the user see.

It looks like the first aid app pushes notifications by itself, without any ad provider.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] G.Ri:
I gave up paying attention to this thread for a while because it looked like we weren't getting anywhere. Well I got an update for AirPush Detector and now it checks for 3 other ad networks. Launched it and it found out what was pushing ads on my phone. So the problem seems to be fixed for me. Thanks for all the help! I hope everyone can find the responsible apps on their devices too.

I'd like to say though that I think uninstalling the apps that do this isn't enough. I encourage everyone to contact developers using these ads and tell them how you feel about it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] <Laharl>:
You should find the program MusicJunk no adds and way better downloads.

Scanned my phone with the latest version of airpush detector and found that Flikie wallpaper HD was the app responsible for my pop-up
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Electrocut:
In Flikie Wallpapers HD changelog on Android Market, we can read Remove the notification ads.

So maybe you only need to update Flikie Wallpapers HD ?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] ranphi:
It looks like the Airpush Detector app doesn't actually do real-time scans for actual Airpush usage in apps. I say this because I actually have an older version of Flikie Wallpapers on my phone before they released their update that started using Airpush and when I scanned my phone with Airpush Detector it still flagged Flikie on my phone. Given that, I'm assuming that Airpush Detector just checks a database or list it has for apps that are supposedly using Airpush and if it finds that app on your phone it flags it. (I might be wrong, though).

All I can say for sure is that the version of Flikie I have is older and does not use Airpush and yet Airpush Detector still flagged it on my phone. :-P

Also, as someone else already pointed out, it looks like the Flikie devs removed the Airpush crap from their app with an update after getting lots of user complaints. If so, good for them!
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] denper:
Hi,

I think that Airpush Detector makes a real-time scans, try to check the source code at github.com/brosmike/AirPush-Detector/blob/master/src/com/brosmike/airpushdetector/AirPushDetectorActivity.java. Anyway try to use our Addons Detector app (available on Android Market), maybe the result is more accurate.

denper.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] MichaelMcC:
Same thing and for me it came from a resent update of Bloat Freezer Free V.2.28

When I force stopped it my Green Star went away.

I hadn't installed anything lately but had updated a few apps. Bloat Freezer being one of them.

Maybe XDA needs to add a Forum just for known Notification apps.

Also, Airpush did not have my EMEI # in their DB. So I knew it wasn't coming from them. Also no Airpush apps detected.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] ToddG_XDA:
These green stars have been so damn annoying.

I installed Airpush Detector and Addons Detector and neither one detected anything foul.

I systematically uninstalled things in the LIFO order and to no avail I was still getting green f-ing stars, maddening to say the least.

Off to Google for more digging led me here.

I did what Michael did and force stopped Bloatfreezer free and my green star left the notification bar right in front of my eyes, gone.

I defrosted everything that was frozen and promptly uninstalled Bloatfreezer free (which I've had for a while, an update must have initiated this BS).

Shame on you Bloatfreezer developers, this is no way to gather users, quite the opposite I might suggest.

So anyway, knowledge is king so sharing is royal.

Thanks for listening to my drivel, hope this info helps somebody else out.

Off to the market to reinstall some of the apps I was willing to sacrifice for the sake of sanity but that I would miss too much not having.

And if for some reason this was NOT the fix, I'll post back.

And, thanks XDA I've been using this site for some time but only felt the need to register now to share my experience and information.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BatteryCro:
I have a problem on my DHD that started out of nowhere yesterday. I have Virtous Unity ROM installed.

Problem is, I cannot open Market (No connection, retry) or Google Maps (just showing grey area and not loading map). I even need to manually adjust my clock because it wont update through web. Doesn+t matter if I am on wifi or 3G.

I tried reinstalling google apps, restarting phone few times but nothing.

Also, tried searching forum but with no success.

Anyone have same problem or know how to fix it?

Thx!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BatteryCro:
Apparently, I cannot connect to any app on my phone that requires internet. Just tried Twitter and Facebook and getting errors.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rakinisbat:
You could try reflashing the rom
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BatteryCro:
Tried without wipe but it didn't help. Is there any other way or I would need to wipe all and then reflash everything.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scottymeuk:
Id just wipe it and reflash it all.

But do a backup of all your apps/data first with titanium.
[Desire HD General] audimaky:
ive done the advanced hack kit root on my desire hd . seemed to go through fine didnt say any errors etc. but the phone wont boot on std rom or hd revolution rom. tried a complete wipe before install of new rom but no luck either. its just stuck on the tmobile boot screen

hellllppppp!!!!
[Desire HD General] rakinisbat:
Try downloading ther Rom again then flash you might have a bad download
[Desire HD General] CYNiCAL2KX:
if your phone is stuck in a boot loop, try taking battery out. Then put it back in. Then, while pressing Volume UP press the power. Then use the volume buttons to navigate into recovery.
[Desire HD General] audimaky:
after re downloading formating reflashing several times i took it to a fairly local repair shop who have done rooting etc a lot.... they coudn't figure it out either and have sent it away to someone who might.

thanks anyway

There are more files than that!

- framework-res.apk

- settings.apk

You must decompile / recompile, modify a lot of data, have some files in conjunction with others and I forget again ... this is really hard ... seriously, if you do not know what, he returns, I advise you to learn a max before.

Hi,

I will make a silly question....

My HTC EVO 3D GSM version got damaged and I need to give it for service to change digitizer and front cover. I think HTC will upgrade my HDBOOT version... Am I correct???

So, bcz I have hdboot 1.49.1107 and everything is possible and simple :) (Soff,revol. etc)

Is there any way to keep a backup of HDBOOT so I can downgrade if they upgrade it????

Thanks in advance
[HTC Sensation] claudenegm:
Hey guys,

So, basically I'm giving my finishing touches to the new version 1.2.0.0 of my application Android Recovery Manager...

Since my phone has been stolen, so I'm not able to test..

I just want any of you to test this for me:

1. Do not connect your device.

2. Execute this command "fastboot -s SERIALNUMBER" where the SERIALNUMBER is your device's serial number.

3. it will say "< waiting for device >"

4. Connect your phone.

What happens?

Can you post me the output please? I need to know what happens exactly after that

About ADB, what's the output of something like this:

"adb -s SERIALNUMBER wait-for-device"

If you write a wrong serial number, and connect your device will it continue? or will it still wait for the device with the correct "SERIALNUMBER" to be connected?

Thanks :)
[HTC Sensation] dansharpy:
Where's the link to v1.2.0.0? I will test for you.
[HTC Sensation] claudenegm:
I still didn't release it, I just wanna know if both adb and fastboot commands wait for only the device with the entered serial number..

Those are the last things I need to know to release the new version..

It would be great if you can test them for me :)

Thanks ;)
[HTC Sensation] dansharpy:
Mine still says 'waiting for device' when i connect it. Dont think there's anything wrong with my adb as i can use it to read the device serial and reboot. Tried everything and still doesnt do anything.
[HTC Sensation] claudenegm:
Thank you!

I think I know what's wrong.

Can you execute those commands please?

- adb reboot-bootloader

- fastboot -s SERIALNUMBER

Write them exactly after each other, don't wait for the device to get into bootloader.

It should say < waiting for device >, I'm wondering if it still waits even when the device enters into bootloader and says on your device "FASTBOOT USB".

If yes, you can cancel the command by pressing CTR + C on your keyboard.

To restart your phone into OS execute fastboot reboot

When you're done with the steps above, can you also test this for me please:

- Make sure your device is opened normally and USB debugging is enabled.

- Do not connect your phone.

- Execute adb -s SERIALNUMBER wait-for-device

- Connect your phone.

- Does it recognize it?

Thanks alot dude :)
[HTC Sensation] dansharpy:
Should i have the phone connected for the first bit:

'Can you execute those commands please?

- adb reboot-bootloader

- fastboot -s SERIALNUMBER'

Or connect it when it says 'waiting for device'?

The second thing you asked me to do comes up saying adb version and then a long list of adb commands. It does this as soon as i press enter on the command, before i have a chance to connect the device. Then goes back to an empty command prompt 'c:\adb:>'

---------- Post added at 02:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:55 PM ----------

Ok on the first bit you asked me to do;

If the device is connected: It doesnt allow you to type anything until it has rebooted into bootloader. So you cant type the 'fastboot -s SERIAL NUMBER' until its already in bootloader menu. EDIT: Sorry just tried it again but typing the command regardless of if it showed up on the screen, it did say <waiting for device> but boots into bootloader so quickly you have to type the commands really quickly.

If the device isnt connected: It just comes up saying 'error: device not found' after you press enter after the 'adb reboot-bootloader' command.
[HTC Sensation] claudenegm:
Yes, connect your phone then execute those commands.

are you sure you wrote it exactly the same with no typos?

it should be "adb -s SERIALNUMBER wait-for-device" where the serial number is your phone's serial number and without quotes for sure.

Make sure there is only one space when needed and wait-for-device is written eactly like that right after the space after your serial number.

Thanks ;)
[HTC Sensation] claudenegm:
Can you execute the command "fastboot -s SERIAL NUMBER" and when it says < waiting for device >:

- Open your phone into HBOOT manually and press bootloader.

- Anything happens next?
[HTC Sensation] dansharpy:
ah, sorry didnt write the wait for device part, i thought that was what it should come up with after entering the command!

When entered properly the cursor waits under the command, then when i connect the phone it starts a new blank command prompt 'c:\adb>'
[HTC Sensation] claudenegm:
hahah :D it's okay :D

That's exactly what I wanted to know thanks :D

I need to know one more thing about ADB please, can you try this:

"adb -s 1234566 wait-for-device" exactly as it is, and connect your phone.

Does the the wait cursor go away and starts a new blank prompt? or it just stays there?
[HTC Sensation] dansharpy:
How do i get into HBOOT with the phone plugged in still? Or do you mean execute the command, put phone into HBOOT and then connect phone?

If you press vol- and power it just vibrates but doesnt load into HBOOT.

---------- Post added at 02:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------

It just stays waiting under the command, i assume for the device with serial 1234566?
[HTC Sensation] claudenegm:
Yes, that's what I meant, sorry :)

- Execute the command.

- Turn off your phone.

- Press Vol. Down + Power

- Press power down to select Bootloader.

- Connect your device, it should read on your phone FASTBOOT USB.

- What happens next on your PC? A new blank line shows or what? :D

Yea, that's exactly what I needed. I was checking if the wait-for-device is only for the right serial number or not, as my application needs to wait for the specific device until it restarts to begin executing the commands, so basically this is an easier way for me to wait for the device than by doing a loop, which takes more memory resources :D
