Ads in notifications and icons added to home screen.

This is happening on my wife's phone. Notifications that are ads and icons to a different market added to her home screen. I assume it is an app that is doing it, but I cannot figure out which. Any tips on finding this thing or stopping the behavior?

Use the Addons Detector app that can be found and downloaded from the Google Play Store.  It scans and determines what apps have push ads that cause the notification ads and icons to appear.  Download it, run the scan, tap Addons, and uninstall anything that shows up in the Push Notifications section.

    from the information you provided i can't tell if it is a hardware problem or a software problem. I do have an idea though, try to press your home button and lock button at the same time.

  • An app will not completely download from the App Store to my iPhone 5S. Neither can I terminate the download by trying to delete it. The app is useless to me and so I would like to remove the icon from my home screen. How can I do this?

    I tried to download the app "Google Translate" from the App Store onto my iPhone 5s. However, the download will not complete. As well, when I try to delete the icon from my home screen, it will not go away.  I am very frustrated as this has never happened before and I have gotten many paid and free apps from the App Store. I hope someone can solve my dilemma.  Thank you kindly.

    What have you tried to get the app to finish downloading e.g. have you tried logging out and back into your account on your phone, disconnecting and reconnecting to your network, soft-reset of your phone (press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, ignore the red slider, after which the Apple logo should appear and it should reboot) ?
    You could also try downloading the update on your computer's iTunes and see if you can sync it over to your phone (or delete the app its Apps tab when connected to your computer's iTunes and sync the new version - deleting the app will delete its contents).

  • My App Store Icon is stuck in Newsstand. How do I get it out and back on to home screen?

    My App Store Icon is stuck in Newsstand. How do I get it out and back on to home screen? Have tried via itunes to move it and also swipping it - just won't come out.

    I have the same problem!  Let me know if you manage to sort it out.  My iPad did the same thing but to full restore from iTunes sorted that out. Have you tried that? No such luck with my iPhone.

  • I have just downloaded ios7 and none of my app icons are showing on the home screen.   In the App Store they are showing as purchases.   How do I get them to show as icons on the home screen?

    I have just downloaded ios7 to my iphone4.   Now none of my apps are showing as icons on my home screen.    What should I do?    This didn't happen when I updated my iPad.

    You may have transferred all your songs, but your iPad is seeing the library as a different entity.

  • I am having an issue where safari keeps crashing and returning to the home screen on an ipad1

    safari on my ipad1 keeps crashing and returning to the home screen. rebooting does not fix the problem neither has a full reset through itunes from a backup or setting up as a new machine. Cab nay body help?

    If restoring from a backup doesn't help, you must have something corrupt in the backup - like a Safari bookmark perhaps - or something in the Safari history. Try the last tip in this list first.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Close Safari and all apps. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus (-) sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Cache. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • How do you add a new icon to the home screen?

    How do you add a new icon to the home screen?

    The only new icons you can add to your home screen are webclips, which can be added by using the "+" button in safari on the desired web page.
    You won't be able to add new apps until February when the SDK is fully seeded to developers.

  • How do you create Document Icons on the Home Screen?

    I have an iPad to use exclusively in the kitchen and would like to make my recipes appear as indivdual icons on the home screens with an associated picture.
    For example; Pumpkin Soup
    I would like to create an icon with a picture of pumpkin soup and the same as a title.
    When you tap the Pumpkin Soup icon a page appears with instructions and perhaps a picture or two.
    So my question is: What are my options for creating these stand-alone icons that bring up a page that describes a recipe/document.
    I understand that there are many 'recipe' apps avaliable, but none that I've encountered have the ability to save individual recipes as icons on the home screen.
    I dont care whether I use a recipe app or some other processing/publishing app to achieve this.
    I would very much like the recipe/document to appear on screen crisp and clear without program formatting around it.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.

    I'm aware of the Safari shortcut, but was hoping there was a document, etc shortcut.
    Thank you for your reply James Ward4

  • Why does my iPad continuously closes from where I'm working and takes me to home screen?

    Why does my iPad continuously close from where I'm working and takes me to home screen?

    It might be out of memory. Close all apps you're not using using the toolbar that comes up when you double click on the home button. Press and hold any icon and then tap on the red minus (-) symbol of the apps you're not using.

  • Car icon on E72 home screen

    A car icon has appeared on my home screen, and I cannot find any documentation as to what it indicates. It is displayed below the notifcation area, where other icons such as the ones for the alarm, bluetoooth and wifi connectivity, and unread mail are displayed.

    I got the same car icon on the home screen once my E72 is connected to my car over bluetooth.
    Did you pair your E72 with your car? You or someone must have done that before. Please check.

    How can I hide icon from my home screen?

    Hi pearlyxiel,
    If you have apps on your Home Screen that you don't use regularly and would like out of the way, you may want to create a folder for them and move them to a later screen. You can either do this from iTunes or directly on your iPhone, as outlined in the following articles:
