T-Mobile apologizes and removes ads from notification bar
Share:
So we have to give kudos to T-Mobile for the speed at which the carrier saw what was going on, figured out what caused the problem, and made the necessary correction. For all of you T-Mobile customers who were upset about having to read an advertisement on their notification bar, you shouldn't be seeing them anymore.

I guess the notification bar is for important information and people were upset that it was being polluted with garbage. Oh well, maybe their next projects to place advertising on people's windshields while driving or to interrupt 911 calls to hear ads will be more successful.

Typical T-Mobile rep/employee response. Someone is too blind to see lulz.

From a notifications perspective, it really is closer to this than you think.
Having information in my notifications bar that I do not prioritize as important or at times when no other activity I deem important is seeking my attention doesn't just dilute the conceptual purity of the notification bar, it literally obliterates it. Without that purity, the feature loses all value, like a cry for help from the boy who cried "Wolf!".
What if your phone rang even when nobody was calling you?

Used to, then realized it was coming from a live wallpaper I downloaded from the Google Play store. Download Addons Detector and it will tell you what app it is.

I occasionally get ads in the notification bar on my Sprint phone. It's not that big of a deal though, mainly because I just hit the clear button and it goes away and because it doesn't happen too often.

Maybe if you, phone arena, looked at your very own sources you posted on the previous article, you would have already known they said they fixed the problem. Don't be in such a rush to push out articles.
