getting a star in notification bar?!

Hi... Same phone (rooted too); same annoying notifications; tried same detection apps; same results - well almost, Crackle (v2.5.3) was reported as being "infected" with Urban Airship. Also, in another forum someone reported that s/he suspected an app called "Bloat Free" (sp?) that did not show in scans, but notifications stopped when that app was deleted. I had that installed and deleted it. These notifications are all very annoying! Good luck...

Yeah, I didn't want to say anything until I was sure, but I think that BloatFreezer was the culprit for me, too. I deleted it and the ads stopped---and it was the only thing I deleted after the last ad I got. On Twitter the dev has denied using push ads, but I'm having a hard time believing that. Too bad, because it was a good app.

Edit: Allegedly---and I didn't get a notice about this myself, so it is hearsay---the dev was telling people that to get a code that would eliminate the ads they had to give a 5 star review. The app has been removed from the marketplace.

Glad to know it got deleted. Man that crapware is annoying!

was getting the same thing - downloaded air-push dector, it found flashlightHD so i removed it. every thing seems to be fine so far. thanks

I have a Droid X on Verizon..when I tried the *#06# I see
MEID
HEX and and numbers
and
DEC and numbers but not the IMEI number???
Carla

If the IMEI number doesn't show up when you tried the code, then just pop the battery out. You should see a sticker under the battery with a QR code on it and normally the number above the QR code or around it is the IMEI number.

Hope that helps!

Perfect!!!! thanks helped tremendously

I was getting this too. I found out it was ExtDate Widget after installing Addons Detector. The existing add went away upon uninstall. Here's hoping I got that fixed!!!

The air push app is very good. Nice suggestion. It just picked up a couple on my phone which i promptly removed.

Thanks for the tip!

thanks for this. Helped get rid of spam app 'task killer'

I was getting that notification also, it was because of Easy MP3 Download and I knew this because it started after I downloaded it. So I went and got the program: Addons detector and of course, it found it. Not only did it find that, but Michael's(craft store) program was one of the problems also. So I got rid of it. I kept the Easy MP3 Download because there are not better programs than this that I have found. It finds music that no other can find.. So, I guess I am stuck with the star... =(

Thanks for sharing, Jeannine. Hopefully your comment will help others who are having similar problems.

Amazing how well Addons Detector works :-D I have the same issue with SuperStickman Golf. Love the game, so I have to deal with the star!

Hi Andy,

I just want to say that I downloaded Air PushDetector and it quickly spotted the app that was pushing the advertising. I was able to remove that app and had no more problems.

Hey thanks for the tip! I was having problems with my Xperia play with ads in the notification bar. I hadn't heard aboout Air push detector but it works great! Thanks!

thank you Andy, AirPush-Detector worked perfectly for me! The app causing it was "Easy Mp3 downloader". Now i just have to find another app to download mp3s

uTorrent is coming out soon for Android. Keep your eyes open for that!
