+ sign in task bar

[Esoteric68]

I've only had this happen twice and once I was half asleep so I didn't pay close attention but a few minutes ago a + sign shows up in my notification bar and when I pulled down it looked like an ad, who's responsible for this and how do I stop it/block it?

Was for some bamboo something or another.

download the app Air Push Detector, it will tell you which app is putting the plus sign up there and then uninstall it and your issue will be resolved Mine was Music Paradise...

It's from an app that you must have recently installed or has been updated - it's spamming you. If you click on it it will usuall take you to some bs site, tell you your phone is slow etc.. If you have titanium try freezing some recent apps and see if it comes up. And check the running applications. Update your AdAway signatures (if you don't have that app might want to check it out - pretty good host file lists). Just my thoughts.

The app i have been using is addons detector. Works pretty nice, I have forced both my wife and my parents to install on their androids and leave it installed
