[Q] identifying spam - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hello
is there an easy way of identifying which application generates spam messages that appear in the notifications?
sometimes the icon gives it away but not all the time..
Any suggestion?
thank you

Its been mentioned here before so a search will find the exact app name for you but what you need is an app from market called (I think) air push detector as the notifications are ads and it can tell you the app responsible.

hi dave thanks for the reply
yes, i did find one called push ad detect, but that didn't work.
i may try again when / if i get the notification again
thanks for that in the meantime

The app is called air push detector and is by dan borge. If that's the one you tried there is another way and that is to install gemini app manager.
Its free and it can show all apps on your device, it shows icons detailing the features of your system it can use and one of those icons by each app will show if it contains ad related code.
That would tell you all possible apps with ads and at least narrow down your list of suspects quite a bit.

[Q] Developer emails

When you look up an app in the market on your phone, you get the developer email contact. Can anyone provide me with these for the RBS app as well as the Lloyds TSB app? I want to get in touch with them but these apps do not show when I search on my market.
Thanks!

[Q] Possible Android Virus?

I was browsing around Maximum PC, and after I was done I noticed in my notification tray was a downloaded .apk. It was only 12kb in size, and the fact that I didn't intentionally download this, plus the naming scheme, makes me feel like it's possible malware. The features it was asking for was to send SMS, so could it possibly be an SMS spammer?
I've attached it for inspection purposes, as I haven't a clue what I can do with this, and I'm afraid of installing it. Perhaps someone more skilled than me could tell us what it is?

Avast comes up with a warning when trying to see the file and calls the "infection" for "Android:OpFake-AJ [Trj]".
Seems like a virus, so be careful!
IT IS A VIRUS!! :O
I was nearly 'gone'
It's a virus would you kindly remove it as to keep idiots safe? Thanks.

Instagram integration to Android & IOS help please :)

Hi folks,
Will try and keep this short.
I am at the moment having an Android app and an IOS app made by a professional company. It has cost me £10,000.00 for both apps.
It is a map based app with markers. When clicked on a marker an info box pops up witha Facebook icon linked to page, Twitter etc
I desperately want to add Instagram icon that links to that persons page.
I am being told that at the moment this is not possible and that the only thing that can be linked to via the icon is images.
I am after just clicking the Instagram icon and that takes you to the whole Instagram page of that person.
They are using the native Android APK and the same for IOS.
Are they correct in saying that Instagram has not yet released a SDK/API yet.
Quoted for the company email to me,
On your request to also integrate Instagram to the app, we will be unable to assist due AT THIS STAGE simply due to the fact that Instagram to date does not provide android and ios sdk/api so we cannot integrate instagram directly in any android or ios apps at present. We can still design the user interfaces and integrate the app with Facebook.
Thanks for any help folks

Hi folks,
Is there any reason why no one can answer this please?
Have I not followed rules or something? I just assumed this was the best forum on the planet to ask such a question and I am surprised no one has answered?
Can you recommend somewhere else I could possibly get answers for my question please?
Cheers!

[Q] Zero popus browser

Hi there, I'm just wondering why, even if I have adaway and the popup option activated, I have the browser full of freakin popups and windows asking me to download anti virus apps.
Is there any way to browse the damn internet without bein slapped in my face by all these things as I do on my desktop PC?

Use AdFree instead of AdAway. Second, use an alternative browser like Lightning or UltimateBrowserProject.
The app sections are for posting members apps. Not for questions of any kind.

@orville87 : can I play flash videos with these browsers? I guess that adfree requires root...I'll have to root the damn already updated memopad first

Well, AdAway also requires root to work properly. Without root, no proper ad-blocking is possible. Give those browsers a try, I have never (at least by purpose) tried to play flash videos with them.

XDA has an extremely powerful search engine. The keyword "Adaway" directly leads to the above linked thread at the very top of the search results (ok, below the advertisement).
