I noticed that for a few weeks now I'm getting spam type notifications in my notification bar saying things like I've won a free ipad. Was just clearing them out, but now I notice that a shortcut to a "market" has showed up on my homescreen. Can't find anything I didn't install in titanium or my stock application manager. Anyone know what this is and how it gets through my security app. I'm using bit defender. I notice my phones a bit glitchy as well. Widgets aren't wanting to load up. I'd like to figure it out before I do a data wipe.
Usually happens after installing a cracked app. Although I have seen this after installing MP3 Music down loaders as well.
Search for "Airpush detector" in the market then uninstall whatever apps are detected then they shouldn't show up again
Check this out.

Thanks for the info. Got em. It was a couple of winter scene live wallpapers.
Hi all, this is my first post on XDA. It's not an unfamiliar place for me though. For the past 3-4 years I've owned 3 different sets of Android phones, and this is THE home that satisfied my software tinkering. I've many great memories of Android, especially Galaxy Nexus. But the joy of my reunion with Nokia is indescribable. Finally WP8. Finally Nokia. Enough of my "introduction". I've this question for you folks out there. Has anyone experienced the same - that new updates are available for installed apps but not showing up on the app store live tile? I've noticed this a few times, the latest being Nokia drive + beta. I learned about the available update through wpcentral. It's only when I searched for the app on the store that the live tile started showing"1" (means 1 update available.
I should clarify that this is not just on the live tile. In fact I didn't see any update notification even when the app store is launched. It was almost like I had to view the app on the store (that's where you see the "update" option) in order to trigger the notification.

I don't currently have my 920 to hand (it's in for repair) but if memory serves you can go to Settings > Phone update and make sure it's set to automaticly check for updates.
I am getting at least some app update notifications, but I certainly did notice that the notification for Nokia Drive didn't appear. But I think that sometimes there is a delay between the update becoming available in the store, and the notification appearing on the phone. Perhaps because you knew there was an update for Drive, you got in there and looked in the store before your phone had had a chance to notify you.
I experienced the lack of notification for metrotube, nokia extras+info, and nokia creative studio all within this week. I only came to know of the updates all because of wpcentral. It really puzzles me. I'm certain there isn't any settings for toggling app update notification on wp8 (unlike android play store). Or is there..?
I think the app just have a day delay...
We know that those blog are much faster than the store app.
I got the updates today. Seems to be a delay or something. Patience I guess.

The Store only checks for app updates at certain times, at which point if it finds something it'll update the tile. The tile does not update as soon as app updates become available. So there is a slight delay between the update going live, and the live tile being updated.
Nothing new, totally normal.
If you're reading about app updates on wpcentral, then you've most likely read about the update before the Store got a chance to check for updates.
Thanks. That makes sense.
After deliberately searching all my installed apps on app store, I just realized I have 2 apps that have new updates. They are My Stocks Portfolio and List & Things (paid). Updates were released on 12/12 and 13/12. Today is 17/12, but I never saw the available updates info on the store's main screen or live tile. After this deliberate exercise, I do see the available updates info on store app main screen as well as the live tile. I'm also now convinced this is a current shortcoming in wp8 app store.
Oh, and Evernote as well. I missed that out somehow. Update was released on 14/12.
If app is updated in lets say 10.12. It does not mean you can download in that day or even day later. I think thats date when they went to checking.
Ive been having the same thing...... The other day I had 12 all at once. Now some of the apps I knew had updates from reading on wpcentral so I thought I would leave it and see how long.
5 days later it pop up saying I had the update.
zolgi,
Your understanding is incorrect. The "last updated" information shown on app store is real time with the update's availability. I'd validated on a few apps. When you go to view the app, it shows update is available. It's only then the information gets pushed to the app store main screen and live tile (if you keeps it on your home screen). I accepted it as a temporary shortcoming which will get fixed in future. From other forum members in wpcentral, I also learnt it used to work on wp8 and is still working on wp 7.5 .

There is a known bug affecting push notifications on WP8 which can be triggered by a number of badly behaved applications, even with a small number of allowed backgroungs tasks in "settings". Further, the "Find my phone" setting is buggy: when you activate it by pushing the slider to the rightn when you go back to settings it will say "Find my phone is not activated". Further, the "Find my phone" page in settings does not offer a push notification setting on the Nokia Lumia 920, contrary to what WP8 Microsoft help says. Find my phone however works ok.
Anyone with a solution?
Is anyone having issues with the Google Now notifications? On my last phone, I would get notifications for flights, and games on days my teams are playing.
one the HOX+ I have everything configured the same way, but I don't get the notifications. I only see the info if I launch google now/search.
Did you try rebooting the phone. I posted an issue I have seen that location services does not seem to activate properly all the time if you turn it off and on. If you reboot the phone it should ask to accept Google location services immediately click accept and it should work.

Were you previously on ICS? On JB certain notifications "hide" till you pull down the notification bar. Things like weather and traffic typically aren't visible at the top till you pull notifications down. But I remember when using the "massaged" Google Now app on ICS, they would appear up at the top. For a while after upgrading to JB on my Inspire I thought something was broken, but it turned out it's normal for some notifications to not be visible at the top all the time.
No idea if this describes your problem, but if you came from ICS to JB, there are a few changes to how the app operates.
I didn't know google now was available on ICS... In my case, it's always been on JB.
On my last phone, I would get a notification in the morning of the day that any sports team I configured is playing. It would say which team is playing, and what time the game in the local time zone of wherever I am...I don't get that on the HOX+ unless I open the google app
Hi all,
I hope someone is still around here...
In the past weeks I started to have a very annoying issue with my phone, hopefully someone can help.
I have a Honor9, with Android 9, EMUI 9.1.0, all stock, no root, no custom image, nothing.
Since a couple of weeks, all widgets are stuck. They work for a few hours after rebooting the phone, but after that, they stop updating and some of them is not responding at all.
Transparent clock updates time and day, but weather is not updated. Calendar is not responding and not updated. Even the settings widget is not updating the icons any more. All other widgets are stuck at the last update or on a "updating". I have tried to stop the applications but they don't restart.
I can't recall any particular update before the issue started, unless the automatic update of applications update from google store. I have tried also to reinstall a couple of widgets but they don't work -what is interesting is that they don't work straight away even after reinstalling, meaning that something in the system is triggered and keeps them blocked. Also, adding new widgets once the issue is present doesn't work, they don't show up on the screen, but they appear all together next time the phone reboots, supporting the idea that something in the system is keeping all widgets locked.
It doesn't look like the usual battery saving settings, all widgets were fine and I can't see anything different in the power saving settings.
Before I wipe out the phone and restart from scratch, does anyone has any idea of what I could try?
Thanks!
Anyone facing this issue? I've set play store to never auto update etc but every once in awhile over the last few weeks I see several updates are pending then the next day they've auto updated. This is extremely frustrating especially with some apps like youtube vanced which I definitely do not want updated. I can't seem to find out where this is occuring at all.

Yes, me also. I rolled back a Gmail update and was very annoyed to find it auto updated itself after a week or so of me ignoring it.
yup, I have this problem too on xiaomi eu rom
I think I've figured a solution - so for whatever reason my playstore periodically overrides and resets my update settings to auto update and over data and wifi. This is unacceptable as I definitely wouldn't want to incur data charges for updates or have updates forced on me but is what it is --- what has been working so far is leaving the settings at auto update (wifi only) BUT going to the individual app I do not want installed and specifically unchecking autoupdate on that app. The hamburger/3 dots option top right in playstore for the individual application's home screen.
