Default Unwanted notifications

Does anyone know how to get rid of notifications you don't want. After I flashed the international ftf I started getting notifications from some app site. I hate getting a notification beep that is usually my email and it is only one of those.

It depends on which app you are referring to...You should be able to go into the "unwanted" app and inside the settings menu it would give you an option about notifications.

Another way is if you don't want any of them to "beep" is turn off the notifications sound in the phone settings

I don't know which app it is. It is just advertisements for a new website to download apps from.

Never saw that when I switched to the international firmware. Did it start doing that before you installed anything else?

Yes it did. I have found out it is from xapush.com. I have no idea where I got it. I haven't installed anything new but I have been deleting any app I am not using trying to get rid of it.

I think I may have solved this. Once I figured out it was xapush.com I did a search on XDA. There is another app called Airpush Detector which can find which apps are using Airpush and a few other similar "advertising" schemes. It turns out it was an app for Olympic information that I download two weeks ago. I just didn't use it until right after I flashed the International firmware.
