Mysterious "Free Music" Icon/Shortcut on Desktop - Acer Iconia A500

Anyone else have a similar occurrence in the last day or so?
Shortcut with Old iTunes Logo, Labeled "Free Music" on homescreen.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23423358
Running ICS port of CM9

Obviously, if you click it you will cause the Phone to explode.

Exactly, but where did this "explosive" button come from?
I did not knowingly install any free music apps with an old iTunes logo for an icon.
Did anyone else get this shortcut added without their knowledge?

It was most likely placed there by one or another crap app you've installed.

Sounds like you installed, maybe unknowingly, an app using "Air Installs".
You should get an "air push detect" app from the market, that should detect these things.

Thanks. It Found my "Pin to Pintrest" App as the only app that does that.
I've removed it now. Thank you!

It's android. I remember seeing it on Androidcentral.com.
Not sure what it has to offer tho.. think it's a mid-range device. Casio too? Definitely different.
the compass app might be cool
Has a "swype" like keyboard XT9, aka Trace 9
Links are dead
These links go to Multiupload which is dead.
Can someone please find a link that works?
Thanks.

Even so, I can't say I'm happy about Facebook forcing me to update with what ever permissions it chooses.
I can see me uninstalling it very soon...
My coworker had the same thing, only her download froze. Couldn't tell what was going on, so we killed about every app on the phone trying to get it to stop (plus rebooting, uninstalling FB, etc). Finally figured out it was actually doing it thru Downloads, not the Play Store.
That's the straw that broke the FB camel's back for me... uninstalled the app and went back to using the mobile website. I like it better anyways.

[Q] "Recommended Shortcuts" with headset plugged in

Does anyone know how to get rid of this (in the notification dropdown)? I assume we'll need to wait for someone to create a mod for it but just checking to make sure I'm not missing a setting/option somewhere.
Thanks
I found no way. .. Can't wait for Slim Bean or AOKP to come on s4 so much crap.... It's depressing. ..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
thanks....I figured we'd have to wait.

Try disabling the notification setting for the page buddy service. (Go to Application manager, find the page buddy service, and uncheck notification).

Worked for me too! Thanks
Thanks! There was an icon missing in mine after I ran debloater.bat. OCD

Expose earphone settings pagebuddyservice
I was able to expose the hidden menu in settings using Nova Launcher. I created shortcut->Activity->Settings->PageBuddy
Now I can enable/disable all or just earphones, dock or roaming on my AT&T S4.

Is the twitter app a system app? Do you only have the "Uninstall updates" option?
Nop, it is a normal app .-. However i found that this is a common problem (See Here) (point 2) So, probably i have only to wait

So then maybe this bug occurs only on some phones? Is the twitter app on your other phone the same version as the one on your N4?
Yes! But the notification always worked until yesteray .-.

Pop up Ad on Homescreen

This pop up ad has appeared on my home screen twice. I have checked recent app downloads for anything suspicious, and have not found anything. Both times I rebooted my phone and it went away. Has anyone seen this type of pop up before?

Air push detector!
I can't get the picture to upload. It's a gift wrapped box hanging on a rope on the top left of my screen. I'll try to get the picture up.
