AdFree too old - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have AdFree installed on my EVO 4G. When I run it get error message:
"Out of Date
This copy of AdFree is too old,
please update to a newer version."
I tried this:
1- wiped data with titanium, uninstalled, rebooted, installed from Market again, ... not working, same error
2- uninstalled, went recovery (ra 2.3), wiped cache & dalvik, installed from market, same error.
I found this issue in other forums but not for EVO 4G.
Update:
I sent an email to AdFree developers 5 min ago (06-27-11, 11:28am).
Update:
AddFree developers released an update solving problem today.

This is in the wrong section, but ad free still works for me.

I uninstalled it, got it from Market again and still same problem.

This worked for me for right now. Install it from the market but don't open it. Go to your phone settings and set your date back one year to 2010. Go and open adfree and let it do its thing. After its done go back and set your current date and it will start blocking ads. Hit my thanks if this helps.

Yes, this worked to get latest host list, but if you open AdFree having date settings to automatic then you get the too old error, so it is something to fix by AdFree developers.

heare the same problem with this app.

It is obviously a problem with the app. I was just giving a temporary fix which was what I thought you wanted because you posted here. Maybe you should just contact the developer.

Just use this link below, even though its for the desire, it works great for our EVO's. I have always used these, just flash through your recovery.

Thanks for your information. I emailed AdFree developers, but I also wanted provide information for other people.

Market cannot see all my downloads

After doing numerous back ups and restores, my market will no longer recognize all the apps I download. Since it does not recognize them I cannot see when updates are available.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I am also having this issue. I backed up all my apps using titanium back then updated to damage control 3.5 froyo build. I was able to restore them all but for some reason they are not linked to the market and thus, won't let me update. Anyone know how to fix this?

Any help on this?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
This isnt a fix but it my be of help till one is found. If you download AppBrain you can use it to tell you when there are updates. (jsut download then run and sync apps should list all apps with updates and you can then let appbrain update them through market.)
I have the same problem on the download portion seems even doing updates doesnt fix but that is what i do as a work around for now

[Q] XDA app

Has anyone been experiencing any FC's on the XDA app when attempting to access the settings section?
I haven't. I'm using the new paid version tho so I'm not sure.
You can always try clearing data or a fresh install.

I think it was 99 cents... not a huge difference, but it's ad-free, different layout options and it supports the site...so well worth it IMO.

I'm sorry man.. that sucks. Wish I could help.
Actually, the free XDA-Developers app is no longer on the market. I went and saw there was an update for it and I went to update it and it said the item couldn't be found. :|
Mine when open the app after still on the background sometime so didn't connect to the servers, press back button and FC, every time that happens.
I had some FC'S on mine as well and for some reason I had to do a cache/dalvik cache clean via recovery and that worked for me...not sure if that would do it for everyone or if you would even need to go that far but it fixed mine...

yea same thing here makes it impossible to search for things when on the go
They removed the free one from the market and for some reason that's when I started to get FC and when I removed it and tried to reinstall it that's when I realized that it was not in the market anymore I got the paid version cause it was only $.99 but it was kinda odd that it started to happen when they removed the free version.
Yeah, ran into this today. Been using the blue flashable xda for a long time. Today, it somehow auto updated. I hate the brown, but do wanna support xda. I saw comments in market saying the new version diesnt seem to remember 'last read'. And that that color picks in settings doesn't work.
Any chance of a blue themed version coming. ?

Ok. So I went to manage apps, uninstall updates. Uninstalled update on xda. Got my blue xda back, but icon was still diarrhea brown (fugly), was frustrated. But, just rebooted and all is back to blue. Sure hope someone will work on this.
Thanks in advance to jchisurf, riptide, stoney, aamikam, etc

pretty lame that the XDA free app is no longer available........I wenth ahead and forked over the .99 cents to purchase it...........but it would never install, so just before the 15 minutes elapsed, I did the "refund"...........pretty lame indeed............come on XDA, bring the free app back.
I saw there was an update and tried to update and the item wasn't found, but then I did a long hold on the app in "my apps" and there was an update option. That worked to update mine. No FCs so far!
I did have to re-select my subscribed threads. But the app now tells you if people are online!

It's not a ROM issue, it's an app issue. Every major update FB does breaks all sorts of **** (so much for internal testing); I always read user comments first before updating their app and wait until they clear up the issues.

If you've got 1.5.2 backed up by Titanium Backup then go back to that and it works fine until Facebook fix it.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
Having the same issues running CM 6.1. Every time I have updated, I always end up removing updates and going back to Version 1.4.1. It has been the least buggy version for me...
Lol, damn, i wish I would have read the reviews!
Exactly what I wanted to know. Thanks

the Market actually has an option to remove the most recent update, so you can just run that

Can anyone please upload the 1.5.2 version? My TB already backed up the 1.5.3 and I only see "uninstall" on the market, no 'uninstall updates' option.
Swtiched to Seesmic
I also couldn't go back, and got tired (very quickly) so I am now trying Seesmic for facebook config only. It seems to work okay if you get tried of waiting.

Google "facebook 1.5.2 .apk" and find yourself a download link for the old version... Helped for me.

Facebook Force close

Ok, I have a Sprint HTC Evo
ANDROID Version: 2.3.3
KERNEL VERSION: 2.6.38.3- Savaged-Zen 2.0.0- cfs-havs-Gb
MOD VERSION: CYANOGEN MOD 7 # 39
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN your Facebook suddenly force to closes ?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA Premium App
Its means there was a failure in the app (any app, in this case: Facebook) & to avoid problems/lock ups, its set to force close the application.
Facebook has just recently updated the app so hopefully it is fixed now.
If it keeps happening try uninstalling and reinstalling or dl ROM Manager (if you don't already have it), open it and click fix permissions.

The app has always been plagued with problems. Zuckerberg really needs to shell out some cash to get a quality app going, seeing as Android is becoming the most used mobile OS. Though after all the spats they've had with Google, I'm sure it's not a priority for them.
EDIT: Seems to be working fine for me on CM7 Final, though if I go to the main menu and hit "Profile" I get a force-close.
Yeah, I feel like every other update borks it. It was working fine for me on n41 though, maybe try updating to 41?

Old Market on SGS2E4GT

Anyone surprised we still have 2.3.6 on this beast when several newer versions have been released? Not ready to root, so haven't replaced the apk yet....
Mines updated after I opened the market up and signed in with my gmail account.

Heh, I factory reset my phone the other day and was surprised to see a different looking market app... must have been 2.3.6.
Then I hit the back key and it was updated to 3.1.5 again, which was the only version I'd seen on the phone before.

I have had it for several days though. I have wiped data for the market application too.
Yea, I think we all start with the old market and then it automatically updates!
Mine updated in the first couple mins.
The Evo3D Killer!!!
after wiping data the second time and resetting the phone, market did end up updating. But until after a few days!
Weird...I have had the phone for a day and I am still on the old market. I guess I should just wait it out and it will upgrade eventually? Is there a way to force a market update?
Thanks!

Go to Settings -> Applications, find the market app in the list, and clear data/cache
Open the app back up and it should update shortly
I use the old market
you have to re-install the apk (hint you can get it from the cyanogenmod gapps link)
and then you have to FREEZE "market updater" using titanium or some other software that will freeze apps
this way market wont update as soon as you sign into the market
I prefer the old version, since it sees my app list better, and shows me what updates I need....the new one wont show updates on mine for some reason for ALL my apps, only a few
