inception 75 Report post Posted September 2, 2013 Recently my friend bought a Gionee Dream D1 (for Rs 9500, used phone with 10 months warranty). What he showed to me, are OTA ads on drop-down menu from Chinese servers. Gionee offer OTA update features, and I guess they are just misusing the feature. How to stop getting this ads? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sougatadc 358 Report post Posted September 2, 2013 I think, rooting it and blocking/ deleting/ freezing any such sys or odex file which looks for OTA notifications for all these will do. Otherwise flashing a custom ROM will surely stop it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KanagaDeepan 1,084 Report post Posted September 2, 2013 If the phone is running JellyBean, just press and hold the notification till it shows a pop-up menu (just like right click Menu in PC) and select "App Info" from that menu... There you will be displayed the app which is bringing those annoying notifications... If its NOT looking like anything important (say like System UI, Phone apk etc) or just in Chinese letters, disable it there itself (if the option is available). Else if the Disable option is Greyed out, just make a note of this app and remove or freeze it using Titanium Backup. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks kanaga it worked ! funny thing Gionee's in-built Temple Run sends the Chinese ads and other ones are sent by V5 Music app. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
