Does anybody know what this green plus symbol "+" is in the upper left of the notification bar? When I pull down the bar and click on it, it takes me to a link in the browser. Its not an email. I recently installed Lookout premium on my phone. Not sure if this has anything to do with it. Every time it pops up its a different site. This one says something about Att users. I ran a full check on my phone. No malware or viruses. Help. Ths is the third time it has popped up. Thanks! How do you attach a screen shot to this site?

i dont think there are actual notifications for the app...
if you check once in a while the thread shows if theres unread posts, so do that?

Hmmm that sucks. They even give a notification setting in the settings menu. Vibrate, ringtone and all.

You have to do it from the home screen of the xda app

The notification does work, but only for personal messages.

That's for apps only.
Media scanner is a system process.
Whats the purpose for wanting to stop this?

Rescan Media Root.
Our can take a long time - which if noticeable if your phone needs/generates frequent reboots.

you have an app that is causing that to appear. Find the app and uninstall it. I think there's some app on the market that searches your phone for the culprit but I have not needed this app so I dont know what its called. I'll leave that to someone else who might remember what it is.
Oh weird. Thanks. I look into it

Its most likely the Mp3 download application. Download airpush detector to see what app is causing the ads

No kidding I have that app. Never used it though I will check it out to see if its worth keeping cause the ad is annoying. Thanks

The app actually works really well for music, it just occasionally puts an advertisement in your notification bar haha

Recently I have been getting spam ads in my notification bar I think it was from installing GNES lite but I'm not sure. also an icon appeared on my desktop that was some sort of spam. I'm curious if anyone has any tips how to isolate the source so I can get rid of it.

I would look into the settings of all the apps you've installed around the time you first noticed it. Other than that, it might be a process of elimination. How about checking the play store page for the apps too? I'm sure other ppl will comment on that in the reviews.

Found it. It was superN64 by superN64 games

Glad you found it already. I thought I'd leave a little tip here in case you didn't know and need it in the future. If you long press on a notification an "App Info" button will come up which will take you directly to the app responsible for the notification. From there you can disable notifications for that app by unchecking the "Show Notifications" box.

Get Mupen64 or N64oid. N64oid isn't in the play store, but you can find it in other places. I personally find N64oid to work better and have some better options.

I'm using Avatar 2.13b and have not been receiving notifications from Twitter, Facebook, Words With Friends, etc. I've checked the app settings and they are all set to notify. Cannot for the life of me figure out how to get the notifications working. I am getting Gmail and TweetCaster notifications.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
A lot of views but no suggestions. Have gone back to BB ROM until Avatar can pull in the notifications.
I like the themes in Avatar, but like the notifications more.
