My phone is stock, no changes other than a few apps have been disabled.
I am getting an unwanted popup after I receive a call. It wants me to install Instagram, or another program. I have scanned with Malwarebytes but it finds no viruses.
Any help in getting rid of this appreciated. Please see the attachment.
Thanks.

Do you have ES File Explorer (think I see it in the background)? Try uninstalling that app and see if the ads persist. ES File Explorer may be presenting adverts and popups.
Thanks, but that did not work. Onto the next guess!
are you using a custom launcher? some of them provide ads on your ohone.. also try removing any apps that are known for showing popups
Chinese apps tend to have overlays like that, especially those cleaning/boosting apps. Get rid of those and see.
When it pops up, do you see anything more in the expanded notification bar? If yes, then press and hold on it and tap on "app info/detail". From there you can see which app is displaying these pop ups and disable notifications.
Thanks, Using ADW. Removed and still there.
Don't have any of those, but good guess.
No way to expand the notification nor any way to get more information. Talked to Motorola support and they had me clean the cache and that did nothing either.
Last case resort, start uninstalling apps one by one with the newest one first. When the pop ups stop, you've found the problem.

Prior to using the last resort method provided by riggerman, you can view how much data/wifi each app is using that is currently installed on your device. This can be done by navigating to network info in your settings. Then simply compare that data to which app is eating up your memory at the time of the pop up. A more in depth method would to use an app that is designed to gather in depth data on installed apps specifically for the user, such an app would be Android Addon Detector available in the Play Store (link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.denper.addonsdetector). I wont write up the way to do it cause I don't have that kind of time at the moment, and it'll do you good to teach yourself given the internet and the app FAQ and developers site because knowledge is power, and knowledge also helps to quickly deal with little piece of bull**** that land on your path in life, such as annoying popups
Removed 2 backup apps and seems to have gone away, thanks.
Had the same popup problem. I said STOP in response it has gone away.

Is there anyway to minimise a word program so that I could look at the desktop or work on a second program simultaneously
The question is... How do you "NOT" minimize it... In WM, any of them for that matter, the "X" button, which in PCs or Macs closes the app, minimizes it in WM. So yeah. Hope this helped.
but if it minimises there is no icon in the system tray which will enable a quick start of the word document
i guess there is no way to resize applications?
But if you open the program again (eg. If you pressed "X" in Word Mobile with a document open, then re-open Word Mobile, you'd get the app & the doc still open).
I suggest you get yourself a nice taskmanager like SmallMenu Plus (my favourite), Magic Button and a myriad others.
VJOkButt will permit you to minimise/close apps and switch quickly to the Today screen and then back to your active app.
I'll regret bringing this up, but apps can be made to resize:

I use the True Toolbar task manager. It also show you a small icon for each app running. Have a look.
thanks for the replies
i have installed magic button, it looks nice. i think the cross button closes the application, right?
i guess there is no way to resize the applications in magic button?
VJ, what's that vysihaya thing? On your site it says "Not coming soon..."
VJ when can you release an application that allows resided windows... and true windows rather than full sized screens...
and your right. you are going to regret saying and showing that....
will a small donation help?
PS congratulations on your kid.... spewing about your landlord.
Simon, thanks for your wishes - we've just got back from court this morning and I had to fight for an extension not to be kicked out. By the grace of God I've got 4 weeks longer for my idiot landlord to pay off his debts. Sigh, Real Life™ can be a pain.
I've not had time to do any coding for weeks because of the baby, the eviction, and the Buzz Unlocker
However, hopefully now I'll have time to get my hands dirty again. I haven't thought about VJSihaya for a while, but I'm slowly getting together thoughts and ideas I want to add. Hopefully later this year I'll get something worth releasing out. Although the windowing system and skinning system, I guess the hard bits, already work well...

My apologies if this is a repost but I came across this yesterday and thought people here might be interested. Anyone that has ever been confused by the way Android multitasks (let's be honest, we all have) should read this.
http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2010/04/multitasking-android-way.html
Interesting. And the author certainly has a cool last name.
Definitely a good read. Thanks.
I'm still TOTALLY confused between what a process vs service is and how everything works together. what's the difference between an app I just sent to the background vs its associated service or process? are they one and the same?

A process is any task that the CPU has to perform. For example, say you open a text file. That's a process. Once the file is opened, the process is done.
A service is a long-running task, often launched by a process. More specifically, services are A) for tasks need to run in the background, B) usually for long-periods of time (or indefinitely), and C) most importantly, independent of user-input. Instead, services usually respond to changes in the system (ie Battery Indicator, see below), or periodically checking the internet for something.
- For example, the Battery Indicator app, which puts the battery percentage in the status bar (see picture below). Whenever the battery changes in the system, the Battery Indicator service is alerted, and the percentage in the status bar is changed.
- Another example is the Google Talk service, which is running whether or not you launched the app. That's because it needs to stay open in case someone messages you.
Without services, nothing could run in the background for long periods of time. For example, without the Google Talk service, if you wanted to receive a message, you'd have to have the app open and in the foreground 24/7. Once you opened another app, you'd go offline. (coughiPhonecoughcough )
You can view your services in Settings -> Applications (on Sense UI anyway).

Very informative, thanks for that.
Excellent blog post! Thanks!
This would definitely seem to support the "No task killer" philosophy.
Good stuff to see...thanks

I wish I could agree with that but without some type of task manager, my N1 does not run smooth at all. =\
I have been having issues with the Phantom Voicemail issue on all the Cyanogen Mod roms.
I have tried changing the voicemail phone number through the My Carrier options, that did nothing. Tried clearing out the Dialer Storage, that did nothing.
I have spent roughly 3 hours trying to find a fix. Does anyone know of anything?
I use Google Voice, so the dual notification icons get annoying, not to mention the fact that this one doesn't disappear, and reappears if I reboot my phone, or go in and out of service.
If there is a file that I can remove to have it stop, and allow me to just use Google Voice, that would work great too, as of now, I just want the darn thing gone.
You have to download an app and black list it. There's a post around here somewhere. I'm on my phone so I can't find it. But look for Sprint's VVM. There's a link to the app in the OP.

The two apps I can think of are RedList, and SPC (Super Private Conversation). SPC is the bigger of the two apps (I think around 2-3mb?), but I don't think the free version of RedList lets you disable the notification icon (I could be wrong? Someone feel free to correct me).
Is there anything other then an application that can block the notification message?
Removing a file or changing a file perhaps?
No clue, though I'd wager it has to be done on the code level.
I don't think I've ever actually ran into this bug. I gather it notifies you of voicemails despite not actually having any? Odd.
It looks like this, with my phone number edited out.

No matter what the time it is, this was on first boot up. Then it "notified me" again, at 11:17 PM.
It's a known bug on Cyanogenmod...
http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=2507
Log in and star it to give it higher priority!
For some bizarre reason they have decided to omit Notification Settings in the Settings Menu. If you have an Android Wear watch and you want to change Notification Priorities for certain apps, this is a must, as well as many of the other Notification Settings.
Anyway the short term fix is to install an app called QuickShortcutMaker from the Play Store, then open it, search for com.android.settings.Settings$NotificationSettingsActivity and create a Shortcut for it.
There are others shortcuts that may be useful, another post has mentioned it to get rid of the 2nd sim icon. If I find any others, I'll let you know, and if anyone else finds other useful ones, please post.

Is that any solution to change Notification fonts and colour as I it's unusable to read Gmail Notification ?
Nope, only way to improve that is to play around with the Themes - try changing them using the app that is included called Themes.

I use honor 7 and the problem appeared notifications do not work, but I know half the solution, when you click on the box in the bottom of the screen Close all programs from the bottom up, do not close every program alone
many other things you can get with "QuickShortcutMaker" at your Honor 7 you will find here:

This is very confusing for typical android users, as this phone tries to save battery by closing all apps, which is a good thing for battery, but not for notifications, so it is very important for the apps that you want to receive notifications, you must protect them - go to Settings, Protected Apps, and turn on the ones you want to protect and stay alive.

Getting the Most Out of the Built-In Phone Manager App
You may have noticed the Phone Manager app on your Honor 8. If you've never bothered to mess with this app, I highly recommend it. There are a lot of ways that the app can help improve the way your phone operates. Here are some of the best ways to use this app.
System Optimization
The System Optimizer will scan your phone to find apps running in your memory. You can select individual apps to be cleared making your phone faster. You can make this process faster by whitelisting the apps that you don't want to be cleared. The next time you need to clear your cache, you can simply hit "clean" and all the apps that aren't on the whitelist will be closed.

}
Traffic Manager
Monitor the data used by each app to see which ones are using up the most of your 4G allowance. This section will also have the option to setup a portable Wi-Fi hotspot.
Harassment Filter
Harassment Filter is a very smart way to sort out all the incoming communication that you don't want. You can add phone numbers and contacts to the sms and call blacklist. Not only that but you can add keywords to be blocked as well. Any message sent to you with one of the blacklisted words will be blocked.
Head into the settings in the top right corner to adjust your notifications for the harassment filter. Your phone can be set to notify you every time a message or call is intercepted.
Notification center
The notification center gives you complete control over what apps are allowed to push notifications and where they're allowed to appear. Go to an app and toggle status bar, banner and lock screen to determine how the notifications for that app will show up. You can also assign "priority display" where a notification can interrupt whatever you're doing at the time.
App Lock
Set four digit passwords for specific apps. I've got a lock on my photos, hangouts and snapchat.
Protected Apps
When you turn your screen off, many apps are suspended to save battery time. When this happens, data will not push to these apps so many times you wont receive notifications from them. By default, many apps are already protected so they don't get suspended when the screen is off. Go into this menu to see what apps are on the list. Add or remove apps as you see fit.
There seems to be a much deeper depth in the phone manager than what i first expected. Thank you for the write-up. +1
Thank you for this in-depth explanation, much appreciated
Is there very similar app for the non Honor devices in playstore?
