Hi there people of XDA
So I asked about this error over in a device forum here and no one knew really what was wrong and I figured it was just the phone but now I have a new one and it's still doing it :\
Anyway what is happening is this when an app needs an update and the play store shows the notification at the top of the screen it doesn't say the apps name it says something along the lines of amp&_ and a few more random characters instead of the name but when you toggle down the notification bar everything is displayed normally.
This happened on my old Xperia Play running ICS and JB ROMS and now I have an HTC Sensation with a custom jelly bean ROM and it's happening on that swell :\
Just want to know if anyone knows why this is happening
I hope this isn't frowned apon but I managed to get a screen shot as I said this happened on 2 phones so I'm honestly stumpted

Did you tap on the notification to see what it was?

as soon as you pull down the notification bar it's displayed normally. it's when it first pops up this happens. this hppens for every app that needs an update when the notification pops up

Looks like a broken "app group" icon (which got covered by the widget).
At least my N7 paired to the Q has no such icon.

My Nexus 7 doesn't have it either, it's just on my Galaxy Nexus....
Well it was until I rebooted, now it's not there anymore. It was similar to the "app folder" icon, except it has a blue outline (like the LED ring on the Nexus Q)... and when you are in the screen to place a widget, the blue outline swirled around the dark circle (like the nexus q does..) I'm pretty sure it's wasn't some kind of broken UI element.. I'm on a completely stock rom, JRO03C.
*shrugs* I tried pairing two GNs to the Q (one is 4.1, other 4.1.1, both stock) neither showed the icon.
Can anyone tell me what on earth the icon in the top left of my screenshot is please?! When i click on it my phone locks up and tw has stopped working message appears.

Looks to me like it's a system or data file that has ended up on your screen as a shortcut.
It shoudn't be there and it's not an app you can launch so when you click on it TW gets confused as it doesn't know what to do with it.
Just remove the shortcut from your screen, it's nothing to worry about and deleting the shortcut wont remove the file
update: Have you installed a Samsung Olympics app from the play store lately? If so it is a data file from that app.
Delete the shortcut like I said and you'll be fine. If you're experiences issues delete the Olympics app and re-install
i believe thats a previous app you just uninstalled.. that icons appears on touchwiz when you uninstall something..
Hi, today I noticed this icon in my notification bar, and I really can't find what it is. Anybody knows??

it's what usually appears when the notification bar has run out of space to display anymore stuff....but not in your case it seems! Try clearing any notifications if you have any, otherwise try a reboot
No no this icon actually means that notifications are turned off, turn notifications back on and it wll go away.
Assuming you are running a slightly older firmware too as this icon changed to something that makes more sense a few revisions ago.
Again? This kind of thread pops up EVERY other day and I have answered just about everyone.
Your notifications are off. Turn them on.
Can we get a big sticky thread that says, "IF YOU HAVE THIS ICON IN YOUR NOTIFICATION BAR, LOOK HERE!!". ???
baldi - funny you say that - I honestly thought I'd somehow clicked onto a post from several weeks back as I have answered a couple of these myself

Ooops, my bad, forgot that it had changed! I vaguely remember now lol
Upgraded to 4.3 and now notification tray gets false "Download Complete" notifiers???
I'm hoping someone knows what's going on here and can help asap...
I upgraded my Sprint SGS3 using Samsung Keis the other day and all seems well, except this one big issue. Randomly (it seems whenever I get a notification, or the connection state changes, or I plug into power)the notification bar fills up with the "Download Complete" msgs. This is an issue because I can't see legit notifications in the bar, and/or I have to scroll to the bottom to see anything.
These file names *ARE* for files I had downloaded in the past, but not since well before the upgrade. I have gone so far as to delete the 'Downloads' folder altogether, no dice. Also, it isn't actually downloading the files again, just saying it did...
Any idea how I can stop this? Rebooting the phone is not helping at all. Is there maybe a cache somewhere I can clear that would help? This is a new SGS3 (replacement), so I just got finished resetting up my layout and all my apps and stuff, so I would **REALLY** like to avoid wiping it to factory...
Any help is appreciated. Thank You... :good:

Guys im getting this notification spomcered by pormo sites that is really annoying. It pops up on the screen when I download something, a notification saying it has completed download and then has a porn ad beneath it. I have attached a screenshot.

Try uninstalling those system apps that looks suspicious, they may be the ones giving those ads. If not, try factory resetting or flashing stock rom
