Spam in my notification bar - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Is anyone else getting these spam adds showing up in there notification area saying things like you've won an Ipad and such. They show as a plus symbol when the status bar is in its regular position.
I want to find out how I cab prevent these spam notifications from occurring. Any suggestions?

I have them too. I think mine come from an ics theme I got for go locker. I love the theme so I deal with them, but they are very annoying. Sometimes porn ones too - not cool. If you find out anything let me know.

find the app that is causing them and uninstall. these background spam ads use up a bit of much need battery life =|

That's the hole purpose of this post. I don't know which app is causing this so I was hoping someone else does.

install this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.brosmike.airpushdetector and run it on your phone.it will show you which app is causing the adds.

I know 'easy uninstaller' by info life and 'mp3 download' with the red circle icon gave me spam on the notification bar.

Status bar clock

Is there any way to remove the clock in the status bar on Nero V3?
Sent from my Galaxy S via XDA App
I wonder if removing the reference to the clock in the arrays.xml file in the framework-res.apk would work? Chances are its not that simple. Why dont you want a clock?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I know I use Beautiful Widgets so having both clocks is redundant, but I live with it. That being said, if I could remove it easily I would.
Why not just use a different launcher? I use adw ex launcher, which can give me the gingerbread look and get rid of the status bar. I haven't noticed any extra lag either.

I am using adw.ex and I also use clock... so yea.... having redundant times bother me.
I want to see my status bar for circle battery mod and other notifications. I hate seeing the clock up there.

been looking for this too... anybody?
I'm guessing it wouldn't be that hard to get rid of it, but I think you might just have an empty space where it used to be afterwards. You'd probably have to edit some XML files if you didn't want a huge waste of space on your status bar. I could be wrong though. I've never heard of anyone wanting to do such a thing. Do you guys just play with your launchers all day? You've never been in an app like the browser and been curious of what time it was? I think it would be a pain to exit an app every time I cared to know what time it was. To each his own I guess.

You could just lock the screen check the time instead of exit then unlock the screen and go back into what ever you were doin
You can try making a metamorph.

I'd just like to remove the AM/PM notification, ala Gingerbread, as this is the single most common element of the UI burned into the LED screen (probably since it's the most static).
Anyone have luck with this?
The statusbar clock is in the services.jar file. You'd have to know how to edit .smail's to take it out. There is a writeup on the EVO forum. Not sure if it can apply to the Galaxy S.

Pull down Notification Menu

Hi guys
Question: Does anyone know of an app, that can also give us Android users the kind of functionality on the Iphone 5 pull down? (See Screenshot)
I would like to see my mails listed, maybe the first 2 or so, with sms, weather etc?
I have looked, maybe this is a nice dev opp?
There are apps you use to get like this, but one single app, i think we still dont have...

For the Pull Down Notification Bar Toggles try "Notification Toggle" free from the market...
That's right. I can use the search function.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1353414

yeah, sorry. I saw that. Perhaps should have mentioned it.
I'm on stock 2.3.4. and it said it wouldn't work.
so thanks for re-using the search function for me.
Don't get me wrong but the notification/widget implementation on iOS is not pretty efficient in my opinion.
I'd hate to be constantly pulling down just so see what's up with the weather or whatever.
I rather have my widgets on the unlock screen or desktop as Android does.
Cheers!

Remove all accessibility services (e.g. Lightflow) from the Android settings. It's a known bug.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Ive heard using go launcher gets around this
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
it was light flow that did it, uninstalled it as i dont wanna use any other launchers, thanks for the help. I there any led notification app i can use that doesn't have this problem?
Not if you have to add them as an accessibility service. Again, this is not Lightflow's fault. Any app added as an accessibility service causes this behavior.

[Q] After ICS update - no more swipe top of screen for brightness :(

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.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
That is unfortunate. When I was on the stock battery and stock I'd use that. However, now with the extended back I just leave it on auto

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.

Nobody cares about an app. It was stock on the phone. No ones complaing about it. Just throwing it out there. Why are half the people on here so ignorant. This site is just ****ty. I never had to listen to people like u whine on any other phone forum.

Tx for the tip porky!
Wow! After using the app porkenhimer suggested (my new favorite app : thanks) I can see what the other gentlemen were talking about. That would be a feature I would miss and ask for in future roms.
If you don't have this app, get it asap.

While your reply had useful information, you answered a question that wasn't asked and were kind of a jerk about it.

After trying this app i'll admit it's a terrible replacement. I might try the similar app that is just a widget and see if that'll work better.

What is this Icon?

Top left corner in the status bar.... It seems random when its there and it is subtle so i never really notice when it shows up and when its gone.
I'm just curious
Usually it deal with the cards for Google now like weather and time to destination
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
That looks like GPS icon to me.
Edit* Do you mean that small dot on the VERY left?
Yea I get that small dot as well. I also think its from Google Now as well. That's the only time I see it.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Yeah I believe it is Google Now. Whenever the dot is there Now is saying there is traffic and a delay, or severe weather, so that must be it
