Zombie Lands Notification Spam - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just got an unexpected "message" in the notification area. From the icon in the bar (Green bubble with smiley), I suspect that it was GO SMS.
The highlighting is theirs, not mine!

A quick search found http://androidforums.com/android-lounge/569712-spam-notification-area.html that also believe that it was a GO product.
If that is the case, too bad -- they had good product, but seem to be pushing their own cloud (can't backup your SMS/MMS locally any more), and now, perhaps, other products a bit too heavily.
Can anyone else confirm the origin of this?
Is there a way to determine where it came from, should it appear again?
(Unfortunately it had rolled off logcat by the time I thought to check there)
Edit -- Addons Detector identifies GO Contacts EX as "Custom PushAds (Bobgame)"

Thanks for the AdDetector.
This detect GO Weather with the same spam.

thanks for the post.
I just had this notification and was familiar with some programs spamming but as I haven't installed anything in weeks I was a tad confused.
I've been using GO items religiously due to non-standard DPI and the OEM apps not displaying correctly, but now I'm off to find new apps to do the same.
Shame too, as they *were* a decent brand. too bad.

What are these lines on my screen? (Picture included)

Hey,
I have this line on the bottom left of my sgs2 screen. It is not kernel or rom related as I have tried almost all of the kernels and alot of different roms.
It is shown clearly on grey or black backgrounds.

Someone know if this can be fixed?
I have the same issue
and it's definitely hardware related. I can't be bothered to reset my phone back to full stock firmware and send it off for repair, I try not to let it bother me. It's not affecting how the phone works.
what they cudb
when i have been installing roms in the developers options or somewhere theres a way to test your touchscreen something or other i remember its pointer location is it ticked
go to >settings
>developer options, (scroll down till you see pointer location in descriptions of what each option does)
>untick box should disappear
this assuming you rooted phone and got options there if not im stumped dude (et)
i think you have the same problem as me,i have a mark on the screen that shows on grey backgrounds like the logo of super amoled and stuff in the sticker of the phone maybe later ill upload a picture

Looks like the display has been sloppy with a water.
Warranty does not help in such situations...

[Q] App for Deleting a text from Notification Panel

Okay I will try to explain what I am looking for very simply and very clearly so that I am not misunderstood.
There are many apps for messaging out there, but all there focus seems on is quick replying and halo type windows.
My requirement is however different, I get messages mostly from promotion companies and stuff alike, I use web-based tools to do quick messaging, but I have other reasons that I cannot disable promotional messages (DND) on my phone.
Generally I just ignore the notification, But When I was looking for a previous text sent from a friend regarding his address, I got lost in the **** pile of messages in my phone, So I thought that I should look for an app that can Delete a message straight from notification and I don't get a clutter in my inbox.
The feature I am talking about is present in AquaMail but it is only for e-mails, I want similar feature in normal SMSs.
I am attaching a ScreenShot to give you an idea of what I am looking for (look for the second notification)

Still, I'm interested in what's causing this, as I'm considering buying this tablet.
Edit: switched to a much smaller image
I´ve got this message several times as well.
Haven´t seen it after deactivating "my Xperia" though:
http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/apps-services/my-xperia/
I´m not sure this was the actual cause of the message but it seems like it could be worth a try?
From what i figured, its the android device manager, i installed, to locate and remot ewipe the device if stolen...could this be?
Same here and I have the work only play store. Fail...

I believe it has something to do with the device being (partially) designed for business use and having the facility to be set up and monitored by a systems administrator.

[Q] Bizzare Notification Icon

It does nothing. It just remain there. The one in the far left, the first icon. What in the world is it?

Don't worry about the 1X. I've been trying to force the device to obey my command to update the PRL so that the connection be 3G/4G. Just want to know what the first icon in the notification is and if it can be removed.
Location service disabled. I have to say one thing though - i found this on google in exactly 2 minutes ( I have very slow internet ). Maybe you could do your own searching and find answers to your questions. Your behaviour could be considered rude here
I have tried and tried on Google for several days. I just didn't know what words to look for. I've also tried on Yahoo. I apologize of I seem rude, I'm really having a hard time to understand many things. I was hoping that the icon was what caused the connection to be stuck at 1X. I'm about to go to the store for help to get it to be 3G/4G either fix or replace. I will see if the people at the store can remove the location icon. I'm new to EVO 3D and its older style of Android.

Android Powered Dash Cam...Need Some Help/Advice/Etc

So, I purchased this neat dash cam/backup cam/GPS Android-powered rear view mirror from eBay and received it today. I've been playing around with it a bit and I'm curious first off, if anyone on XDA happens to have it. I'm curious if anything has been done to it yet.
I have an issue signing into an account with it, Google Account Manager crashes when I try creating a new account and it doesn't connect to the server when I try logging into an existing account. I tried all the normal fixes (clear cache, etc) with no success. I have internet access though because I'm able to use browser and navigation. Also, the speech is super annoying. It's in "English" but it's a super strong Chinese accent and I can't change it or download any other voice options.
If anyone is curious for more information on it, let me know and I'll provide what I can. I want to toy around with it a bit and I'm hoping someone has already done so. I also need to fix the issues I'm having and I'm not sure where to begin. I've been out of the development game since GS3.
