What could be the cause of fake phone notifications? When I am downloading something, the phone finalizes this process with two vibrations one by one. However, this also happens when I do not download anything. Internet turned off, this is not a notification from the application. It is completely random. This phenomenon increased after installing facebook. In addition, the application itself informs me that the apk file has been downloaded and is ready to be installed. There are no options in the settings to disable the automatic update even without the play store. Android Pie on every custom. Help : / because it's as I do not know. Did anyone have something like that?

I am on the March 5th build of ICS from Quarx, and have only experienced this issue on this ROM, however I have not tried going to another version to see if it's something I viewed/downloaded.
Every once in awhile I get a notification, it looks exactly like a smaller version of the Messaging app's icon. The title says something like "Faster, Better" etc. and once I click on it there is an image of an ad for UC Browser 8. It only happens when I have internet, but all I can do is swipe the notification and wait for it to happen again.
There is a folder in the root of my SD card called Joy. Inside are three more folders: Cache, PopAd, and config. Nothing in Cache, PopAd includes the ADucweb_en.jpg image that pops up. In config there is dk.pro, popAd.config, running.config, and sys.config.
When I delete the folder, it reappears once the ad pops up- which seems to coincide with why I always need internet when the ad pops up.
Any advice on how to handle this? It's annoying and could be simply malware (AVG finds nothing wrong) but it seems to be a total breach of privacy and security that a folder is able to redownload itself continuously against the user's wishes. I'm unaware if this has anything to do with the person/people behind UC Browser 8, but I feel I need to contact them as well for malicious advertising by someone.
I had these same notifications happening, and found those files too. After installing "Addons Detector" I found that these were coming from an app I'd recently installed called "Mission Impossible FREE" (com.letang.game109.en).
I wonder if there's a better way to identify the app that creates a notification. Nearly anonymous notifications seem like an easy spam vector. It'd be nice if a long press on a notification message gave identifying details about it's origin.

problem solved
same problem here. thx to another member, i now know how to remove it permanently. when the ad pops up, take note of the game/app that it's advertising. go to market and find its developer. then check and see if you have any of their app/game installed in your phone. just uninstall them and you'll be able to delete the joy folder permanently. and the ad will never pop up again.
the developer that's making these ads in my phone is call LeTang, Inc. i think it's the same for you.
I rooted my Nook Touch Glow Light about a month ago with GlowNooter using the instructions from this site and all went well. My real objective was to have Dropbox, file explorer and file manager installed so that I could access my personal library and have the ability to delete my sideloaded content when I was finished reading. All of that works fine.
I went into the settings of everything that I could think of like the Market, email, calendar, etc. and turned off automatic updating, alerts, etc. to preserve battery life and because now that I've got everything installed I really just want to leave it all alone. My issue is that I continue to get force close errors on the android calendar randomly. It's mildly annoying and I'd like to turn it off or even uninstall it completely since I don't use it, but aside from disabling updates and alerts I'm not sure what else to do. It doesn't show in my uninstall list. Anyone else run into this or have any ideas on how to stop it?

You could freeze it using Titanium Backup or similar. On my NST, the Calendar app works, but displays a giant SD card image in the middle of the screen, which makes it painful to use. Based on recommendations here, I use Calendar Pad now. Unfortunately, I can only get it to display one calendar, but at least it works.
STABILITY ISSUES & CAR MODE FAULT --HELP PLEASE!!
Guys I need some help please.
The phone is great but over the past 2 months I have noticed occasional stability issues like programs suddenly opening up when you turn on screen that haven't been selected etc.etc
There is a list of 9 common faults published including some where, for eg OK google was working fine but suddenly doesnt etc.
This week in CAR MODE I noticed this unexpected error that restarting, clearing app cache, clearing app data etc will NOT fix.
Everything was working OK and I changed nothing that could have caused this.
when selecting Nav from carmode home screen it asks you "where do u want to go?", as per normal.
When I open the search text box to enter the address where I want to go, instead of verbally telling it, it accepts text characters for about 3-4 sec then suddenly just goes straight back to the carmode home screen before you finish typing the info and then hitting search!! Every time.
This is extremely annoying as it is the only accurate way to give it an address as it often miss hears the verbal names.
I cannot find anywhere a way of downloading and reinstalling carmode version 1.2.44.16607 so it can reload whatever blasted line of code is suddenly corrupted and causing the problem. if it was a separate app I could just uninstall and reinstall it but it is part of the OS and even in Galaxy apps I cannot find the specific Samsung app.
I DO NOT want to do a factory reset and wipe my phone!!, that is a BS solution just as it is on a PC for trying to fix a minor windows error.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY POSSIBLE SUGGESTIONS PLEASE???
Hi all
I've had this bizarre issue on my phone where on the drop down notification bar, it says the Download Manager is downloading... It will be a strangely named document.. The last one was Skepticism and something or other... If I click on it nothing happens, I don't know what app is downloading it.. I have not downloaded anything and all I can do is cancel it if I'm quick enough.
I can't find any info on this issue on Google and I'm worried it's a virus... But again, I'm unable to establish where on earth it's coming from.
It happens occasionally (ie not every day) once I'm connected to the Internet.
Has anyone else experienced this and are there any solutions!?
Many thanks.
Hi, first use this site www.virustotal.com , this is an online virus analyzer that use more than 60 anti virus to scan the file (everything online) and gives you info about it, where it comes from etc , use this to be sure your mystery file is clean (I use this site very often it is just wonderful)
And then you are using a 3rd party download manager app? If you are be sure it is a reputable app and with my personal experience I have used a lot and the best one is by far ADM (advanced download manager), and if you know the download comes from the 3rd party download manager try to delete data of this app or if it comes from a browser you can see from which site this thing is downloading.
But if you still have this issue I can advise that;
Uninstall the kind of useless and dangerous apps like clean master, any """battery saver""" apps or flashlight apps that only display ads, use ram and battery and have very suspicious permissions and you have all those features built in.
Next do some spring cleaning, uninstall apps you aren't using and check the permissions settings to see if there is some suspect things, like a flashlight app that can access your contacts, sms, storage and location for example, you get the point
I hope it will be resolved, and you will see this website is great and will gives you infos about your file have a nice day
hey guys, i'm having a problem with ta-1000 android 8.1
i never get any notifications and apps such as facebook/viber/messenger always seem to turn off by themselves
that means no one can contact me unless i am using those apps
i have wifi power saving disabled and i have allowed those apps to start with the system
found a solution, there is an option in apps that allows apps to activate by themselves when they want
