Ok one thing I find very lame about the Photon is that it ships with some stupid advertisements that pop up in the notifications. Anyone know what app it is so I can get rid of them?
Really advertisements? I've never seen any advertisements yous gots spam lol. Maybe there's an app putting ads in your notification bar (I've seen it before).
If you've rooted your phone try adfree but again I've never seen this on my photon.

Im rooted with Ad Free and that works for the apps with ads but these appear in the notification bar and there is a blue star that also appears. It started from the moment we powered the phone on at the store so it's definitely not Span from anything like an app
**Update** http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/0...-them-once-and-for-all-with-airpush-detector/
This is what it was. Some AirPush bullsh*t. Funny that one of the things it's detecting though is a MW3 Go Launcher Theme, which coincidentally is now nowhere to be found in the Market.
Go under all the application you have on your phone. There is a setting turned on for ads or do what i did... delete everything. Factory reset and install ONLY WHAT YOU NEED. I have seen this in the groupon app. It would do that.

Ohhh check some of the sprint apps then. You can actually remove them. There's honestly NO need to factory reset your phone like the guy above me said lol. Why go through all that hassle for something so trivial.
Click the ad and tell me what it is..
I have the same pop ups

Hey, which battery app is that? I have battery indicator which is fine but it takes up a slot in the notification bar. I like the one you have that just takes the spot of vibrant's battery meter.
Looks pretty good. I loved the messages tab.

what kind of notifications are you talking about?
ios 5 style notifications that appear on the top of your screen instead of the status bar.

Have you tried miui closest to rom.to looking like iphone os
lol i've actually wanted the same thing a few times.
let's see if i can explain a bit better.
you know that time when you're playing a game or watching a video or doing something full screen and you get a text? you feel the phone vibrate, but you cant read it or see who it's from or anythign. ios has a neat little toast-like notification that pops down from the top for a second before dissapearing again to tell you the info.
the easiest way to do this for android without making a whole new notification system would be to add toast notifications to messages and stuff.
yes that is exactly what I need. Can anyone find something like that?
Tasker would probably be able to do it, though it may be a bit of a pain to set up, especially if you're not familiar with how Tasker works. There may be a tutorial somewhere for doing something like that.
what is tasker?
I know one which does that, but it's wp7 style... It's called wp7 notifications.

use MIUI, it does this and I found it annoying so I turned it off.
Try here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1480094
Guys! I have 2 apps that do this. 1 was specifically for this, the other I didn't know had it. Text notify (that's the app name) does exactly this but it's near the bottom of the screen. Maybe 1/4 from the bottom. Then I got true caller Id, which might be questionable because it prompts you saying by using this app your contact list gets added to their database... But True caller id puts the notifications at the top like you described. Both apps free.

Yes Thank you I got it fixed now.
Idk if this has been mentioned yet, but i use this feature everyday...no more swiping the top of the screen to adjust brightness level.
Is there a new shortcut for this? It's very handy.
oh man are you serious?? I too use this feature ALL the time no joke... hmm maybe I should put off this update? lol. Can someones else with ICS please confirm this?
Unfortunately it is indeed gone (I used it very often before, too).

I just went back stock and updated today and can confirm it's no longer there. I noticed the same with the ICS leaks that have been out recently but just thought it was something to do with being a leak.
Unfortunate, I really liked that feature.
A lot of the CM9 based ROMS have this feature available.

Do you all really not look in the market or on google for apps or do you just come here for answers cause you don't wanna take the time to look? Here is an app that does exactly what you want. You can control brightness by swipeing the top, bottom or side, your choice. It can also bee seen or you can make the bar transparent https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rubberbigpepper.DisplayBrightness&hl=en
There is another app, Notification Toggle which mimics that of the 15 toggle mod that we were seeing around a bit before. You can put it in your status bar so all you do is pull down and set brightness from there plus a whole mess of other stuff.
Hope you enjoy.

I have looked, and looked, and looked, and I cannot find among ANY of the myriad Android "What is this icon??" threads spread around the world a description of this round, volume-knob looking thing.
There's nothing in the status or notification panels which seem to be connected to it, and I have no idea what it's trying to tell me.
Anyone?
Thanks,

I've never downloaded any apps from the play store that put an icon there. Most icons that get put there are from system apps.

A couple, but mostly I've looked through the 'running apps' and there's really not anything in there I don't recognize (or want to uninstall). I might, if it really gets to bother me.

I don't think so... although now I wonder.
It's just the Debloated stock ICS. I don't think he stuck anything weird in there - only took it out.
Thanks for all the input!

Really, I've downloaded and tried all sorts of apps and have seen icons placed on the task bar.... Juice defender as mentioned... Battery guru... Etc. It seems like I tried a volume+ app that placed a similar icon. However I haven't confirmed that since I no longer have it installed. Usually you can opt out of having an icon placed on the bar.

I'm saying I've never seen a downloaded app put an icon on that side of the bar and I'm not saying they can't put one there.

There is a blank app icon between that icon and the other. It's not connected to the system icons. If you look closely at the spacing you can tell.
