Wtf is this shortcut that keeps popping up.

Seems like every day or so I get this random shortcut as well as a notification to download some app of the day. I can't figure out what's making the notification/shortcut. Any ideas of what it can be? I posted a pic and you can see the shortcut in the middle of my home screen.

That must be an app you have downloaded. Some of them have auto run when android loads, and then they 'push' a notification message (ad) , or put a shortcut on your home screen. I used to have an MP3 Downloader app that did that. There is an app in the market that disables the auto run from these apps but I forgot what it was called.

I figured that was it, just don't know what app it might be.

Download Adpush (I think that's what it's called) and it will scan for spyware-ish apps like that and tell you which one is doing it.

[Q] Disable the credit reduction notification

I'm on TATA DoCoMo's Smartlife plan and as a part of their 'Keep it simple silly' campaign, they think it is convenient for the customer to receive a credit notification after every Call/SMS and data usage. It's not. Every time I unlock my phone I am greeted with this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Sometimes, there are more than one and then I have to press the 'Ok' button a couple of times. More annoying part is that when there is an incoming call I cannot accept it until I've 'Ok'-ed all of these notifications.
Is there any way the system can automatically 'Ok' this or maybe completely disable this kind of notification? Is there any solution to this madness?
I've tried talking to the CC, but I guess they didn't get the time to reply to my email. I sent the email on May 8.
TL;DR: Carrier sends annoying credit alert. Need to stop it due to inconvenience, hopefully without having to switch carrier.

I don't see a WiFi icon in your screenshot, but I think you're talking about the NFC icon.

What's that icon to the left of the GPS crosshairs? Not referring to the TuneIn icon to the far left.

"Cell Information" Running In Status Bar???

Guys,
I just got my unlocked D5803 compact today and put my T-Mobile SIM in it to test, and I've got this app called "cell information" running in the status bar in the upper left. I It just lists T-Mobile and the time I put the SIM in, however I can't get this icon to go away. I am missing something stupid?
Thanks,
Y2J

This worked! Thanks! I wonder why the heck they have this enabled. It doesn't do anything or give you any information. I don't remember seeing this in past Xperia Z phones. This is build 23.0.A.2.93. I believe this is a Latin America variant D5803, however it the packaging is in all English.

I can’t find the attach picture option when sending texts.

Has it been moved or removed? I’m I just too old to use a phone now? WTH!
Oh it hides it after you start to type. Thanks Google.

Hi. Try locating the picture in Google Photos first, and then share it from there (bottom bar). You can then type a message. Kinda backwards from before but easy once you get the hang of it. See this TUTORIAL. It's in Camera too, when you take a picture, the bubble on the bottom right now has an arrow up tab. If you press that you should see your social media apps (and Messenger). Cheers.

It's just looks different it throws me off some times also I think it does go away when you type and comes back when you stop but then it says there
