referring the "Game of the Day - FREE!" bit by the way

My Note has this **** too on my first few days of using. Then somehow I followed the info in it and sms a text to a number and i stopped getting it Before I thought it's a virus, I installed 2 kinds of scanning to do full scan but found nothing.

Download an app called airpush detector, it will find what app is doing it and let you delete it, mine was mp3 music downloader

Thanks, oh I have mp3 music downloader app installed too. So only way to remove that airpush ad is to remove my app?

Airpush. yes, I already installed that too. those had a different kinda ad pushing to xapush.com or something. I got rid of those, but these ones with the *star* still pop up!! I cleared the earlier one, and just as I write, they're promoting another "Game of the day"
arrrgggghhh pisses me off
anybody know what I can disable? some apk somewhere I'm guessing, but what?

its not an Android Market ad is it? cos I disabled Goggle's 'interest-based ads' already too!

Anybody ideas from anyone else? Anybody else getting this?

Do you habe GPSFix installed on your phone?

Well it's a Market app that's pushing this **** out, so uninstall one and one app until it stops.

I don't have GPSFIX installed. And I've so many market apps I don't know how I'm supposed to fin the guilty one

i've never seen anything vulgar as that on my phone

Why don't you all just do what is said some posts before and install AirPush Detector from the Market, it will guide you to the app that is causing the spam. Simply remove the app, and you are fine again.

Tunee music pushes adds like this as we'll.... But I've only got them with the gingerbread and up version of said program, which always gives failed downloads on the note for me. The pre gingerbread version works great and doesn't deliver these ads for me. those types of ads are certainly annoyimg...

AirPush Detector is the win! Deleted that offending app. Thanks for the tips!

Ditto to that. Thanks for the tip! After 3 years of android I've still so much to learn!

Go into accounts and add HTC Weather Service. Then enable High accuracy in location settings.
Weather will still Force close when you try to open it, but it will show the correct info in Blinkfeed launcher.
If anybody else is have trouble with this, remember to set the Blinkfeed page as home screen in Blinkfeed launcher

What is App Optimization exactly?

Ok, I just received the N910FXXU1COJ3 OTA on my DBT N-910F with all the security updates. Great, but I did notice that the conveniet app manager feature that killed background processes inside Smart Manager is now gone and from the looks of things, there is a new "alternative" ambiguously called App optimization, within the battery section.
Now I for one am getting pretty tired of this inconsistency and constant feature swapping and come here seeking information. Can anyone actually clear things up for me and explain what exactly App optimization means. Will it simply kill the apps background services and if so, why is the minimum timeout 3 days? I also heard that it is more like a disable fuature for the selected apps, meaning no activity whatsoever, like notifications.
Is there any way that i can make use of the convenient "garbage collection" that Smart Manager used to offer, or am I hopelessly stuck dealing with Samsung`s ADD?
Thanks, any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Ok. I have a call recorder. It just happens to stop working after awhile. I went to app optimazation and disabled it. Does that mean now that my Call Recorder app doesn't apply to these rules and should never shut off or stop working if I disabled it for that app. It's so annoying because all of sudden your looking and your call isn't being recorded. I have to open the app...then it works again. Am I using the app optimazation option improperly?
When I bought the pro version; a message appeared explaining to disable app optimazation for the app so it continuously works. Is this right? And I'm just dealing with an app problem or I'm I not using this feature properly. I want my call recorder to always be working. [email protected]

App Optimization is Doze mode, that simple

You have to disable App Optimization for apps that should always run in background or be accessible without opening the app itself like Tesla Unread, Torchie, some reminder apps an some e-mail apps. In my expirience if an app is being optimized it will not show any notifications and such until "acitivized" by opening the app itself.

Apps that I don't need running in background and have used more battery than I think they should when in background are set to "Always power saving". Exaples: 9GAG. Previously I used Greenify for these apps.
Apps that need to stay active at all times are set to "Disable for". Examples: Reminders, Tesla Unread.
Most of other apps are set to "Automatically optimising".

This.
This feature can also be found on aosp based roms like cm13.

i cant find some apps in the optimization list (like whatsapp) and messages comes really slowly !
Any suggestions?

Is there an app that allows you to force-close all open apps that works on Android TV

I'm looking for an application that allows force-closing running applications, as its running down the memory and making the performance slow down. I'm not a huge fan of slowdowns, if anyone know of such a app, please type in it the comments below.
Thanks!

..

Thanks you for providing me this download link. I will try this out when I get home tonight, looking forward to seeing it work. Why don't you submit it to the Google Play Store?

..

id be willing to try this when i get home as well. what app did you modify exactly? id like to look into it on the play store before i get home and install yours on my shield.

..

Hey man so i got to play with this a little bit last night. Thanks so much! It will definitely help when im testing out new apps and troubleshooting issues. But to be honest, using the app last night made me realize something......
The shield is pretty damn good at managing ram on its own. With no easy way to force close apps prior to the app you provided, I just let shield take care of it, assuming all my running apps that i didnt force close on my own, were using up all my free ram available. But last night when using your app, each time i tried to "kill all" i only got a meager 100-200MB free, at best. Even with all the apps running, i still had like over 1gig, usually 1.5, available. its awesome.
But yeah, still keeping this app for messing with stuff. Thanks.

Awesome, I'll give it a try too. It always annoys the hell out of me that I have to go into settings then apps then go through all my installed apps just to kill a frozen app. It would be awesome if someone could implement the "hold back to kill app" that is in most ROMs.

Disable Auto Hide Softkeys

I had this app installed that provided the ability to autohide the softkeys, but decided to uninstall it. After rebooting the phone it still has the softkeys autohiding, and I am not sure where to look to disable this function.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.hidesoftkeys
I emailed the programmer but haven't heard back as of yet, and wonder if anyone else has an idea where to look to restore softkeys to default.

Did you restore the soft keys before uninstalling the app? That would be my first step. If that does not work, you'll have to reflash your rom.

Actually there doesn't appear a way to disable the auto hide in the app.

Looking at the screenshots in the Play Store, it gives me the impression that you can toggle them on or off.

Those screens in the App Store are no where to be found, not even in the paid version.

So I reflashed:
system.img
boot.img
vendor.img
But the softkeys are still autohiding. Looks like I need a complete wipe to get rid of it. I find it disheartening that the screenshots shown on the Appstore that show a way to disable the app are not actually part of the installed app.

Unfortunately, that's on the developer to maintain and they appear to be unhelpful. Everything should go back to normal after a factory reset. I suggest using a custom rom to auto hide those keys, if you are so inclined.

Thanks. Looks like I'll have to factory reset.
