Excuse me if it's a dumb question, but what is this widget? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Noticed a green widget called TRAFFIC in my widget list that I swear wasn't downloaded by me...OR...Maybe it's a stock app that I just didn't notice before. Either way, it doesn't seem.to work. Could someone please enlighten me. Any one got any idea what this is?

Whilst I can confirm that it is a stock app, I can't say what it's for. I tried it and it just ran Google maps, showing my current location. I can only guess that it does exactly that, but with traffic density showing on the map (which is an option in Google maps).

Thanks for confirming...and reassuring that it's a stock app. By it's functionality, I'm guessing that maybe it's one of the less thought out apps on gs2.

Is this a fishing scam?

I had two captivates for about a year, and never had anything like this. About a week after getting my S2, from best buy,I started getting this plus + symbol on my status bar. When I would check it, it was always saying I won some prize. Usually an apple product. What is this? Is this from me getting phone at best buy? Is this a new google thing? I get this every day now. I have noticed on my captivate I get a message on my status bar about a new Android market. This all seems scam-ish to me. Apparently my screenshot of my pull down is just black, but this is a shot of the site it leads me to.

When things like that appear in your status bar it means you have an app throwing that stuff up there.
There are apps on the market that can identify what apps are doing it and help you remove them.

It's called airpush detector in the market.

Need fast help, is it possible to locate my lost X10?

Hi,
Got a big problem, I got drunk last night and lost my X10 :/ Is there a way I can locate my phone? There is a signal, but nobody is picking up, so it's probably somewhere out there in a snow. I didn't have any app for tracking installed -.- But I know google keeps trace of my phone, is it possible to force localization check of a phone? I want to use the benefit of being traced my whole life...
Just had a quick search and found something which should help.
Search for "plan B" by lookout mobile security on the android market. If you install it from your PC and read the instructions in the app description it should help.
Hope this helps.

My phone is not rooted, I live in California, USA, English is my only language, and I have never downloaded an app that isn't "mainstream". Wtf? Am I just paranoid?

Here is a link to I9100 forums same app.
i've never seen this app before and couldn't find it on the market either.
so i'm assuming that this app is one of the bloatwares on your phone.
i'll suggest you use TI backup or Toolbox to delete it if your phone is rooted.
but since your phone is not yet rooted, then i'd suggest you just leave it alone.
The app is from a Russian service provider. The market had a brainfart.
Thanks all....I just better root this thing already so I have better control over these things.

What the hell... just a mistake I guess.

[Q] ok, how on earth do you disable the data download warning in the play store?

that one? i only ever really use 3g and want to permanently disable this warning.
looked under the download app - no options, nothing in play store, data under settings etc.
any ideas?
anyone have any thoughts on how to do this?
here is something.. but why am I seeing your screenshot in this one year old thread?
http://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/help-google-play-wifi-warning.17287/
I have a hazy recollection that this is actually delivered from Google play online rather than the app. They used to have it triggered for any app over 10mb, then when 3g became mainstream they upped it. My memory is pretty crap most of the time so this could all have been a dream.

How about you un-check "Download using WiFi only"? Aaand it looks like you've used a screenshot from a MIUI ROM, which isn't a crime, but strange
i found a thread re same issue and that had the screengrab (same thing, wrong rom).
unchecking it works for that 1 time and 1 time only which means every time you update a large app you have to manually do it. it's pointless and a waste of time
there was a fix for the miui rom but doesnt apply to ours (in the downloads app but there's no options for it on our phones)

Where the hell...

I can't find the clear all apps in recents option. I'm sure I saw it there before. Anybody know?
You have to go all the way to the end. Like to the first app that was opened then you will see the option to clear all the apps.. Annoying I know

Yeah well I've done that. All the way to the left. It's just not there anymore.
Dunno. It's on mine with all the latest updates

Well, this is driving me crazy.
You have to be on the stock launcher to see it. As of now no 3rd party launcher supports it.
