probably some type of spam from a previous app you have installed

Yeah I had installed AirDroid last night and that's what was doing it apparently, I just installed Airpush Detector to wipe that crap off, hopefully it's gone now and will stay that way. Damn sneaky mofos.

install ad network detector .. will be handy to detect ads in the future

If nothing else works, factory reset should do the trick

[Q] The folder is open sound

I don't know if someone has created a folder but when I did the phone is always telling when the folder is open and close, does anybody knows how to disable that?
Thanks!

In the menu under Accessibility. Disable talkback. If you're using Tasker or another program that uses these services there seems to be a bug in the firmware that makes it tell you about the folder even if talkback is disabled. I find it incredibly annoying.
Yes mine it's disable but still tells me the same thing and it's really really really annoying. Any way to take that off?

I have cleared cache, data, uninstalled updates, within 1 day it updates automatically, and the issue still continues.
Any help is appreciated. :thumbup::beer:

I'll edit it and then it will be fine for a while, then it will happen again later.
The calendar widget does it also

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It might be Themer related (or something to do with the theme itself). Either way, the issue will be addressed.
