I sometimes get a notification which tells me about various applications that can be downloaded, I find these notifications extremely annoying, not only because I hate advertisements and put a lot of effort into stopping then on my desktop PC which I am very experienced with, but on the HTC one, when I get one of these notifications it uses the default notification sound, which makes me think I have a text message (sometimes at ridiculous times of the day) but instead it's telling me about star cam or some other crappy app. In this respect the advertisements are worse than on my desktop PC, as I never turn the mobile off in case I am being contacted, so the possibility of getting these annoying notifications is 24/7.
I don't know why, but I never had this problem on my htc desire HD, or the tytn 1 and tytn 2, only my htc one.
I need to stop these advertisments! I have tried going into "App info" for google play store to disable "show notification" but I don't seem to be able to find it except for "notify me about updates to apps i've downloaded" now this doesn't seem like it, because that only counts for apps I already have and only for updates. My problem is for notifications about apps I never had, also the app updates notification never seems to make a sound (Which is good) but this other notification uses the default notification sound as I stated before.
I have come across various apps that supposedly stop ads, but I don't want to get my phones resources bogged down with apps that may or may not do what I want and might not even work anyway, but I need some help please!

sigh.. always someone suggests google. By that statement this website could not exist at all, everything could be googled, the whole point of a forum is a more comprehensive and interactive 'forum' with which to ask questions and get detailed answers.
as I said.. I already know about adaway and other apps which stop ads. I have already done a "simple search"
https://www.google.co.uk/#q=android+play+store+app+advertisements&spell=1+
first page 10/10 all results come back with different apps you can download. None of them specify this particular problem and may or may not be generic ad removers.
Clue: description of number 1 app result :
The Google AdSense app provides an easy way to access key data from your AdSense and AdMob account. Access reporting features anywhere, directly from your mobile phone. The first version of the app gives you access to: the key earnings information (that are now also accessible via widget), top custom and URL channels, ad units and sites reports, payment alerts.
Please note: YouTube revenue and revenue from the legacy AdMob are not available in this app.

Wrong.
This is a development forum, not a help desk. Take the Google search course, it will help you immensely.
Also, you posted in the wrong section. Questions go in Q&A and not here.

It was already clearly established in one of my posts that I did in fact do research, that's also a fact, please refer to the above post. Before coming here I already checked the first 10-20 links which were all apps.
Obviously research yields results eventually, which is why I already tried that first and posting here is an extension of that and also another method of "research" which by the way is always my last resort, not because I don't like forums, because I do, but I always do my best to avoid the obnoxious and repetitive "google it" responses you get, even when it's obviously not valid... and that's a fact too.
I think that these aren't Google ads... This happened to me before after installing a app. I don't remember what app it was but the app was sending me ads for crappy ads... Check the apps you installed since you started getting these notifications

Okay I use twitter a lot and have around 39,000 followers and it makes it hard to keep up with everything. So I use listing to track important things, on iOS I used an app called Twitbird, and it keeps track of lists and searches in a similar way to an rss reader, and shows the number of updates per list along with mentions etc. Also when you enter the list it starts at the exact point you left off at so there's no wasted time scrolling through hundreds of updates just to scroll back up.
Now I have not been able to find an app like this for Android anywhere! So is there any that exist? How hard would it be to create one? Or am I pretty out of luck and will have to keep whipping out the old Iphone?
Sorry if this is in the wrong forum I'm rather new here.
Did you try tweetdeck? It does support lists.

Yes I did try tweetdeck but it doesn't support lists in the same manner of tracking how many tweets have been added to the list and it doesn't start you where you left off reading. It's very frustrating not being able to keep track of my twitter without the old Iphone, its inferior in every other way. There are is also another app that I used to use called "echofon" which didn't have the features I loved from Twitbird but it informed you of any mentions when your tweets where re-tweeted or favorited so when I paired the two together it was great.
I've tried adding my lists to a rss like Google Reader but twitter makes sure that's close to impossible -_-
Ok. I tried some apps, but none of them supports the functions you are looking for. Lists yes, but nothing else.
But since I read your first post...I have to say that I would like to have those features too as Im using twitter mainly for news.
So if you find something, please come back here and tell me about

I have been trying to get Google Now to tell me what my next appointment is but all it ever seems to do is web search and not actually look at my google calendar. I do get cards that show me what my appointment is when i open Google now but it does not speak them to me when i ask. does anybody know what i am doing wrong?
It will speak to me if i ask it "how tall is Barack Obama?"
I have made sure that everything is set to English US, even though it does speak to me in the Australian voice if i have it set to English (Australia) it still does not answer my question? When is my next appointment??? I don't know where i need to be next so please help??
Seriously, i am not overly impressed with google now at the moment and was expecting a bit better integration with the rest of the phone and accounts on it.

They're both on your phone anyway no? Just use whichever one suites your needs at the time. Google now to find out how tall Obama is, lol, and svoice for the other stuff.
I'm sure it'll work fine either when it's updated or when official jb is out and Samsung have coded it properly or whatever needs doing.
I'm experiencing similar problem but worse. Everything I'm asking to do or just ask simple questions - Google Now do simple web search... I set everything in English but with no luck.

Same issue here.
Just a thought;
do you use 's planner' and does it sync to google account? If it doesn't sync, google now might not have access to s planner to get the data from phone directly. Hence why s voice would work...
me too i'm not that impressed of google now as of now
been trying earlier all it can do is search in the web for pretty basic things like how old,how tall,who wins, who this is.etc but can't add an event to my calender

Hi all, u need to speak "when is my next appointment?" Instead.
I just had the same problem which is how I found this, and when I tried again saying "when is my next appointment" rather than "what is my next appointment" it worked. A lot of times its about ur word choice. So try when instead of what.

Correct me if I;m wrong, but isnt the point of Google Now to automatically bring these appointments to your attention, and not have to ask or search for the information you need? I should not have to ask Google Now when my next appointment is, it should be there like the pesky how far it is to my home in traffic card, that i dont need since its the exact same drive every single day 5 days a week. Why will these appointments now ushow up on their own cards by them selves as they should via Google Now?
Sintax error
The problem is how you word the question I just tried it myself instead of saying "what is my next appointment" say "when is my next appointment" and it will work perfectly.
"What's my next meeting" is working :cyclops:

I know when I tried it didn't work but because google is constantly improving the service I would say that the vocabulary that Google now understands is constantly expanding. Like the other day I found out if you say "what's the weather" it will only give you the current temperature but if you say "what's the weather today" it gives current temperature and the daily forecast.

Hehe cool, any other hints like that one?
Google just recently in included this question along with other features such as gmail integration in the latest iteration of Google now.
First go to the Google play store and search "Google search"; update if avalible
Next go into Google now (swipe up from bottom) and say "Google!" (Wait for the beep) "When is my next appointment?"
Do not use conjunctions like when's or what's my next appointment; Google will not recognize these.
Hope this helps!
Hi,
I've recently updated my Tasker, and realized, that everything I previously had in the old version now seem to be unvisible. The tasks and events I had before the update are still active, but if I open Tasker, they just dont appear, so I can't edit or delete them. Tasker says additionally in the notifications bar, that no profiles would exist. Phone-reboot was not helpful, the problem still exists. Is there anything known I can do to solve this?

101 pages means there is a lot of chat going on. You have only had me reply to your question so far, so you tell me what is better lol! Regardless of risking it being overlooked, that is a more appropriate thread. This thread is not a support thread for Tasker. Just because you're using said apps on the DNA does not mean you will be assisted with every app you download. I still stand by my decision.

It's said in the thread name. Is that normal or what should I do to get it right? I tried to search this subject but it's impossible to search as the search words are too common and I can't filter out the results I need. Please enlighten me in the subject matter...
Thanks in advance.
P.S. It was also hard to put this thread in appropriate forum, so if I have mistaken in that regard, mods please relocate the thread.
So nobody even knows is this normal or not?
Nobody uses Google Now?
So, 53 views - from which I guess 3 I can write on my own account - and nobody from 50 people uses Google Now... Really? That can only mean two things. Google has seriously f..ked up with the service, I mean if even one out of 50 people doesn't use it, it's definitely a fail. Or, a more probable reality is that not a single user from those 50 who actually has ever tried Google Now bothered to answer my question. This is EPIC fail, dear XDA-Developers Forum. It's not the community it used to be, where it was meant that users support each other. And that's really sad.
When I say view email it opens the stock mail app.

When clicking that one, I am redirected to browser instead Gmail app... I have Gmail app set as default for emails.

Yes I know. But it's kinda implemented in the Sony UI. And no one else of my friends with smartphones from different brand got the Search bar looking like in my Sony at the moment. And I don't mean the widget. I am talking about the Sony Homescreen setting option.
That's a Google mandated feature for "Android" phones. A lot of people change launchers to get rid of the search bar. You could do the same to change it.
I quickly switched back to the Xperia Home launcher to take a look and yes my google search bar is the same as yours now. All generic looking rectangle. I tried changing the way it looks in the google app, I tried clearing cache and data of both the google app and the xperia home app, and nope, it stays that way. It maybe a bug introduced by Sony, or it maybe on purpose, we will never know. Sony's customer service is one of the worst ones out there when it comes to communication so asking them will probably never work.
(I use nova, but unlike all these "elitists" I do not scold ppl for using something they prefer and I try to help them if I can, so on the behalf of the old xda when there used to be more helpful ppl compared to the current generation, I apologize)

While it maybe mandatory to have the search bar a part of the launcher, it is not forced upon the user they way you mentioned, as we can opt to not show the search bar in the Xperia Home launcher settings. We don't need to change launchers just to get rid of it like how you implied.

Thank you very much. That's kind of answer I was looking for. Just wanted to know if someone else got the same. So I don't have to look for a solution or start troubleshooting. Will stay with. For voice requests I can still use the assistant button and for the rest the search bar is still working the same.
I'm on stock Android 12 with stock Sony launcher. Mine looks the same as always

Just done the same test also. I can confirm I have the same issue.
Currently on FW 61.1.A.11.36 if it makes any difference.
I use Lawnchair so this issue doesn't really effect me, but still Sony should fix it.

Sony Xperia 5 II Search bar is strange
I have a strange search bar. I made a screen capture video and took a picture from it, of topic question, can you make a screen copy of the home screen in an android phone? As you see in the bottom the search widget is square and not with the Google G. Just the word Sök, Swedish for search...
community.sony.co.uk
FYI: Issue got solved due to the current Google app update!
