Can anyone help me out, I don't know what this is or how to stop from getting them? Searched couldn't find anything. Thanks
Appears to be some sort of spam, but I don't know where it's coming from as it doesn't show anywhere but in notification and in the drop down. Keep getting them...
The blue star and strange message doesn't show in text or email

Well according to another post i read here recently about same issue..
its on 2.2.1 roms, and its a known bug i guess...
so idk how i can help fix that, sorry.
That's completely different. On the 2.2.1 roms if you use Visual Voicemail you will get a text message after you receive a voicemail. I'm not sure what your getting but maybe try reflashing the rom and see if that clears it up. How often are you getting them?
task manager showing an app running? Can you determine if its coming from a certain app? Can you click on the notification? Tried with a white notifcation pull down? installed any unusual app recently? This is not 2.2.1 related...
I'm not on a 2.2.1 rom. Its stock kb1 with themed framework. I'm thinking its an app as well but nothing running. Twice a day they come over. At first I thought it might be a virus or something but maybe ill just wipe and reflash

trying hooking it up to your pc and run ddms to see what's currently running and kill them one at at time until it goes away (using ddms).
What is ddms?

I'm no expert but it almost has to be a malicious app of some sort from the sounds of it. Audit the apps you have installed, check and make sure there aren't random wallpaper/games/battery boost apps that have permissions to send and receive texts.

Watchdog is an app that notifies you when something is running, taking a hunk of available received, may be an easy solution.

I'm trying to load a app that ive developed, but this is weird...
If I move it via usb it works but if I try via phone browser (dolphin hd) it downloads as a .htm file every time!!
I tried renaming doesn't work.
Also this isn't just my app problem its happened to me before with different apps too!
I have no idea how to help. But I am curious as to what your app is.

This problem happens to me when I try to download apps from certain sites. At times it's a hit or miss. Try using a website like Megaupload to upload your apk/download it. Sometimes Mediafire & some others for some reason make us download them ast .html files.
I have been getting this whenever I reboot my phone at start up. Now I keep getting it randomly during use. Any idea what it could be from?

A dumb app. I get those to. But removed the suspicious apps that might have caused the popup adds. As soon as you remove the apps that might be causing this you wont get them anymore.

It's an ad, usually from a warez app or you put your phone number out on the internet for some free smileys..

It could be download from the internet and have a virus on it
Try a App called AirPush, it'll tell you which App might be sending it...

text "block (number)" to 9999 and you won't get messages from them anymore. This is what I do any time I get a retarded message/someone from across the world decides to message me for no reason
awkward moment when your android phone is telling you to claim an apple product..
I have no weather apps on my phone and randomly i got this pp up message about the weather(which is crazy right now).

It is probably part off the mobile alert service that has been being tested the last couple months.

im on sprint and two colleagues(tmobile and vzw) one on an s2 and s3. both got them too. guess your right

Go to your message app then settings. You'll find it in emergency alerts I believe. Turn them on or off there.

Everyone is right, this is a new type of alert that the FCC is starting to use across the nation. It is supposed to alert you of anything that may harm a population.
To turn it off, go to your stock messaging app. Go into settings, and scroll all the way to the bottom. Click "Emergency Alerts" and uncheck any that you don't want. The only alert you cannot opt of is the Presidential Alert. Also, you do NOT get charged for anything.
Also, does anyone know if you will still get this alert if you do not use the stock messaging app? I'm using goSMS.
I have gotten the alert twice in the last week, once while driving in a severe thunderstorm in Connecticut and the second time today during a severe thunderstorm in New Jersey.
Both times the alert was for a Flash Flood Warning. Are these the only ones currently going out? I actually wouldn't mind alerts for Severe Thunderstorms, but I have not seen any.
Also, you will still get the messages in GoSMS. They show up as coming from "#CMAS#Severe".
Thank you!
The FCC has said about the alerts is that you will get an alert for:
1. Alerts issued by the President
2. Alerts involving imminent threats to safety or life
3. Amber Alerts
I think severe thunderstorm warnings would at least be covered - I'm not sure about watches though. From what the FCC said, it makes it seem that they warnings would at least be covered, since severe thunderstorms can definitely pose "imminent threats to safety or life."
Hey guys. Hope u can help me. I started getting notifications for other apps. Its pretty annoying and although my phone seems to be running completely normal it bugs me and seems like some sort of virus. I'm sure its not, but I want to get rid of it. I have tried web root virus scans and my phone has no problems. It notifies me about twice a day. Here is a screenshot to show u guys what it looks like.

Go to play store and download air push detector. Will tell you which one is the spammer.

It's called airpush, it comes from some apps, if your rooted airblocker will fix it, if not I think you can use it to see what app is causing it

Did you download some wallpaper?
But the people above told you the solution
this is one reason i love MIUI. if any app tries to make an outside connection it alerts you and gives you an option to accept or deny the connection one time or there on after.
fyi shazam wants to know your gps location twice a day whether you use it or not
Thanks guys! Unfortunately the app couldn't find the problem but I did choose the option to email the list of apps to the developer to see if he can find the problem. I will update u guys when I find out which app is causing this.

I know for a fact the beats by dre from the android market that requires root cause spam. And plus it installs apps that you didn't download. I have both avast and lookout on my i717. I suggest them both and run virus scans on both sd.cards as well as apps. Things you lest suspect to cause issues throws up flags. What ever it says delete i would as a precautionary measure. Be warned superuser throws a flag sometimes. That would be the only one id leave along.let me know if that helps.good luck.
Ps if all else fails i hate to say it but factory restore is the sure way to fix it.

Have you tried using TrustGo Security? Best anti-push/mobile security app that I've used so far (I've used Avast, Lookout, and Airpush Detector). And it fixed a lot of problems that I had with Airpush/Leadbolt supported apps.
Just a suggestion, before you consider wiping and starting over.
Either way, best of luck with fixing the problem, as there's a lot of apps out there with spam crap in them. Just have to be careful. =P

On my previous phone I would get a brown Xda box appear in the notifications bar when someone would post on my thread etc however since getting my gs3 I haven't noticed that happen . Do I need to enable it etc or how do I get it.
thanks

have you enabled notifications?
never thought to actually chek but then i didnt ever enable it on my last phone.
Having just checked i can see the 'receive notification' box is ticked however not seen it show in bar yet, ill give it an hour and see
still not getting any notifications, boxes are ticked and its marked to check every 30mins
any ideas?
im sure you havent ticked this..just asking.is silent mode ticked? if not all that i can think of is a reinstall..im using gt-i9300 and i get notifications from the posts that i have subscribed to..
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Ok sky I have checked again and all the notifications settings seem to be right.
It's set to check ever 15mins, silent mode not ticked.
Is it because I am using stock jellybean Rom?
Also using Xda premium if that matters
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
it wont be a problem with the application..premium is always better..
it has to be the jellybean rom..it has quite a lot of bugs.
well ive now gone back to the stock rom (latest release) and still not getting them
just to be clear, i should be getting a notification in the notification bar when someone either messages me or posts on a thread i have created or have commented on right?
Is there something on the main site when i log in from my computer that i need to change? do i need to be logged out from my computer to get these?
what i mean is if i computer browser is set to log me in when i go onto the site (log me straight in / remember me) is this the problem?
I have them when either someone replies to a subscribed thread or when I receive pm. Are the threads in question subscribed threads?
