[Q] Remove ads/disclaimer on notification bar - Rom stock - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
I don't have a SGSII but I "played" with it.
Sometime arrive on notification bar an ad/disclaimer with a green '+' on left: it is very very very annoying.
It happens on SGSII no brand with Gingerbread stock rom.
It isn't an third app because it happens also in another SGSII just unboxing, after the first start.
I have already removed the ads from Samsung's Market but I didn't resolve.
How can I remove it?
I fail to find which (Samsung's, I suppose) app is responsible of it.
I can't root them.
Thanks.
Bye!

Market >>> Play Store
Ad Away
AdFree

Play Store ?
Is there a different Store apk in Samsung stock rom?
There aren't this options in Store on other phones (and didn't appear banner in notification bar).
Thanks.

old android market is now play store where u download all apps.download adfree from play store and then download and install hosts from adfree.

I know what is "Play Store", it is impossible not know that the "Market" is changed; I didn't understand that "Ad Away" and "AdFree" are two apps: I thought they were two options in settings in "Play Store" .
Anyway, this apps require root and (maybe) don't resolve the problem: there're some owners' SGSII wrote that they don't block the ad on notification bar.
Which is the app that puts the ads in the notification bar?
Anyone know?
Thanks.

[Q] Remove app from Android Market 'My Library'

So I use the Amazon app store and GetJar for free 'paid' apps. Some of these apps are showing up in "My Library" on my Google Android Market account. Is there a way to remove them from the Android Market account?
One recent problem is Wave Launcher which used to be free on GetJar. I don't see it listed anymore on GetJar and I can't even buy it from the Android Market since it thinks it's already purchased (but declines the 'install' saying it's not purchased). A 'delete' button like in the Amazon app store library would solve all of this...
Short of changing google accounts, I don't see any options on how to fix this. Anyone have any ideas? The problem is on my market library, not my phone (I know how to remove market links, etc.). Thanks.
I to have this problem its very annoying their has to be a way to clean it up.
I actually used the 'report' app function on the google market and got a reply back. They have "forwarded your case to a specialist to begin working to resolve your issue as soon as possible". We'll see what comes of it. Amazon's app store has a simple delete button in that library. It doesn't seem like that would be too hard to implement.
did you ever get a reply for this?
would love to be able to remove all the apps i just simply try for the sake of testing and i want them gone.....
listen to your users G!
I believe Titanium Backup can do this if you are rooted.

You can "fix" market links with it by long pressing on the app in question.

On the website I don't see an option, but it is possible on your phone.
I am not sure if all versions of the play store have this option (I am using Jelly Bean 4.1.2):
When I open the play store on my phone I can remove previous installed apps from the list.
Go to: Play Store > My Apps > All
There you can remove an app by tapping the Ø icon

Yeahp. It works.
I deleted some yesterday on my mobile, but they were still on my web "Other apps in my library".
Today, I deleted some again and reloaded the webpage. They disappeared.
Thanks for the tip.
Ok, maybe it needs some time to sync. Great it works!

[Q] How to delete OJSC Mobile Telesystems?

I installed a lovely new rom (AGABEY) and went onto Play Store and noticed there was an app called MTC by OJSC Mobile Telesystems.
I understand it may be down to either Samsung or the Developer of the rom to query this but I searched and had no joy.
Has any one came across this and managed to remove it?

if you're rooted, you can freeze or uninstall it via titanium backup
That would be the app for Russia only would it ???
Been listed since GB 2.3.3 .

Me too.
This came up for me too, last night, but I'm running stock Touchwiz/gingerbread 2.3.3.
I've rooted and unlocked my phone and have Clockworkmod but that's it.
Phone is a gt-i9100m running KG2. Carrier is Virgin Canada.
I'm more concerned about why this is came up. The app of course wants every permission in the book. Has my carrier, or phone, been compromised?
I'm super paranoid about giving Superuser. The only app with an automatic Accept is Terminal Emulator. So it's not some rogue root usage causing this.
Turns out this is a bug in the market, where carrier-provided apps on your phone will confuse the market into thinking they are a different, existing Market application.
Unsure whether doing this update would replace the carrier-provided app, whichever it is, with this strange Russian one..
Google "Karoges" for more details on a similar issue, where a test app shows up in place of the stock Samsung video player.
Regardless of whether this is harmless or a potential vector for attack, it needs to be resolved on Google Play's end. I submitted a Bug feedback, please do the same if you come across this!

I noticed that test app aswell. I tried a few apps with freezing. (Rom Toolbox) but that didn't display it. I will give Titanium a go but I have a feeling it won't display the two apps (Unless you have had success then thank you!).
Only time you really notice it is when your on the new Google Play with the two options in "My Apps". "Installed" and "All".
I have not seen it since 2.3.3 but then again i have no stock rom since then .
Is it actually on your phone if so it should be locatable on a rooted phone .

I deleted the 'AP mobile' App but this is still in my apps list waiting for an update. Its strange that I couldn't see this in my installed apps list from the Google Play Store, but an update is waiting.
The only app from OJSC Mobile Telesystems in the app store is their MTS Voicemail+ app, which is russian language only. May be the default voicemail app on my phone is bugged.
Update:
It doesnt install even if you download.
This has just turned up on my GS2 (Tmobile UK) , I can't get rid of it and I'm not rooted . Would appreciate some help in getting rid of this, as I think it is a virus.
It has appeared in my updates too, seems a lot of people have it turning up in the google play store to be updated. I just flagged it also!

I cant remove AP apps. Only force close.
Russian app appeared after I installed sever gallery apps... Hope we can remove it...
Got this in my phone with XWLP2 also. Along with this I have Testfile by SFUKUDA in my installed app list.
This app appeared too in my google play store. Deleting the social hub app (there are two, the one with the little blue icon was the right one i think) with titanium backup removed this of my apps list. Hope this helps

Aye this worked for me too. Removed the samsung social hub app with titanium backup. It is indeed the one with an envelop icon with a little blue S on it
How can non-rooted users delete those 2 apps?
Is there a way to temp root my phone? So I can delete them with titanium?

Freezing the social hub (rather than removing it) seems to be good enough to persuade the unwanted app to disappear from Google Play.
I presume this is popping up because we've installed an Eastern European ROM
(Polish in my case) in our haste to get ICS?

How do I see ALL of my paid apps at the Android market?

Where are my paid apps in the market?
I have over 97 "Paid" apps that I would go to after a rom flash, then I moved onto TI back up because of the simplicity of doing a restore.
In the past with the Samsung Vibrant 2.2 rom , when I go to the market, under my apps, I would see my apps that I paid for.
Now with my New Samsung SG3 4.xx rom , when I go to the market, half of them are gone. It's like I have to search for them and half of the time I cant remember what it was I had installed until I need that app.
What is the fix for this?
How do I see ALL of my paid apps at the Android market?
In Google Play, go to menu and then 'My apps'. A list of installed app will be displayed. Swipe to the right, and a list of previously installed app will appear. Select your paid apps from this list.

Agreed, they should add a list for purchased apps.

There's also an app I heard about just yesterday named "Legacy Play Store" that will only display your PAID apps. You can sideload it without root on pre-Jellybean devices (need root on JB).
I just tried the legacy play store app and all I got was f/c's.

I do know of that method and it does list some of the apps that I have paid for but not all of them.
Thanks Viva_SA; for your reply but even that does not list all of the apps.
This is what happens when you have over 10 billion apps sold and a large fragmentatio
Yes I agree, there should be a better way to have your paid apps listed, ALL of your paid apps.
I think google knows of this because I am not the only one with this problem and as the play market becomes mature, I am sure that there are other bugs that are now starting to surface.

Did you check out the legacy play store that was linked? It looks like it will do what we are looking for..
My only question is how do you install an app from a apk?
Defiantly, I love differentiating my purchased apps from my installed apps. I have 4+ devices.... I have 100s of apps installed and a lot are free but I do have numerous paid apps I have purchased that I would like to view without scrolling ALL the way to the bottom of the My Apps page.
Also, play.google.com does not properly detect when an app IS NOT installed on your phone so you cannot install a app from the website that was previously on your phone.

I have asked the support from the Google Market Place before it was changed to Play. This is what they told me, regarding installing apps on multiple devices. The Apps from the Market, now Play are tied into your email address hence your account. Not a phone number, so if you are to have 4 phones, as long as they are signed into a valid single account then you are free to install your apps on each puppy.
The white link is "My Orders & Settings" on the footer of the page......

My phone is not rooted. I have S6 Edge running on 5.1.1
I have checked running apps on smart manager and end them but again many apps automatically open after sometime.
Is there no App to detect malware?
Remove every shady app you downloaded from Store and be careful next time you install stuff on your phone.
Usually games tend to show ads like that everywhere.
Source: dozens of Android phones that had those apps whose parents gave their kids to install games on.

There is...
Install All-In-One Toolbox from play store then from within the app (or again from play store) install the Ad Detect plugin. It will scan every app on your device and report their capacity to display ads, by what means, and from what source. From this info, it's easy to decide what apps to delete. :good:

Android unninstalling App without my permission

Hello,
I have a pixel XL updated to the android beta, and I wanted to donwload the Google news app. This app is not available in my country so I went to a repository and downloaded an APK. I installed it, and everything works as usual, the app is running smoothly, but when I close it and leave the phone idle for a few minutes the APP dissapears from the launcher. If I try to install it again the phone tells me that is already installed and I can update it, if I do that the app appears again on the launcher and I can use it again.
Can anyone help me with this? should I block permissions for Google Play services (I think that is what is messing with my apps)? or it is possible to install something to prevent this? maybe a modded apk?

Have you tried changing the launcher? Since you are using a beta, it might be a bug within the launcher.

Obviously the app is not available in your country through the play store. The play store has that function where it verifies apps which I think is called Play Protect. Of you opted in, it could be that.

That is because the location of you play store is still set to your country, you have to change it in options. I can't do that because I have credit in the play store and doing so will take it away
