Just curious if anyone is experiencing more ads within apps when using the new market. I've had ad-free for a while and has been working, but last night I downloaded words with friends and the ads are still there. Could it be something with the new market or just something built into words with friends and can't be blocked?
The new market definitely has more ads on it, but no it would not affect the apps that you download from it.
I know there are a couple of apps that have ads that adfree has not blocked yet.
That's what I thought but just wanted to double check. Thank you.

I've heard of several devices that are unable to access the android market. I was wondering if there is a way to simply have access to the APK files, essentially a market back door. I don't even know if this allowed because frankly, I don't understand how the market works. I'm focusing on the word, "open market".
Reason for the question: I may getting a Nook soon but I read that some of them can't access the market using honeycomb.
Thanks.
If it's a free app, that's fine. Many devs even make the apk available on their website. The market only serves as a convenient search engine and auto updater for free apps.
If it's a paid app, that's illegal and a violation of the forum rules - do not ask again. For paid apps, the market serves as a search engine, shopping cart / checkout, license validater, and auto updater.
In case you are asking about a paid app, i'll save you the effort... even if you did get your hands on the apk, most of them will fail to start or run b.c. the market will reject your phone when it tries to validate your copy of the app on app startup.
I thought I made it clear that I didn't know much about the market which is why I'm asking. I forgot that some apps are paid apps, simply an oversight. Your attempt to offer helpful advice was clouded by an unnecessary admonishment of my actions. I'm very well aware of the forum rules. Simply stated, you're making it sound like I'm trying to steal from developers, I'm not. I'm simply trying to find a way to get "free" apps that are listed as such on the market using a device that does not seem to have access to the market.
You could always grab the Amazon Appstore .apk and use that to search and download applications, too.

wow... that didn't even occur to me--thanks!
market enabler is a neat app too. It lets you fool the market into thinking you have a different phone.

I have a bunch of apps orig installed thru amazon app store that now are thru android market. They still show up in amazon as installed and in the update available list, but its worthless since u can't update them even if u wanted to. I'm tired of lookin at them. Its easy with market, I just use titanium to delete market link. Anyone know how with amazon store?

A Google search "remove amazon apps from list" will bring up the exact question you are asking. Apparently its been about 7 months and there is still no report of a way to do it...At least through Amazon. not sure if any devs here have any solutions.
Still no way, unfortunately. I've emailed Amazon about this several times and they keep saying "it's coming". Just like Gingerbread for our Epic's is coming, right?
Heh, they should just stamp that right on the phones face. Thanks anyway
I get this little green + sign on my task bar that leads me to some site thevalidatecheck.com, it has happened a couple of times and I have yet to figure out how this advertisement gets there.
When I drag down the title bar to look and see what it is, it sais on there to Opt out, that's as far as I can see, so I click on it, and it takes me to this site.
At that site they want your phone number to claim a free ipad.
Here's the question, does anyone else have this, and if so what does it come from and how do I remove it.
I did not pay hundreds of dollars and monthly internet fee's to get someone's ad's on my phone.
I started getting them when I downloaded certain apps. The little ads were annoying enough. I deleted said app and it all went away. Can't remember what apps were causing it but if you uninstall your most recents then you should he able to narrow it down.

Nope I would start deleting most recent apps one by one.

OK, I got this problem taken care of today.
I guess someone came up with a program that developers can use called airpush
and this is what was causing the ads on my title bar.
Obviously a new update, the program that I had installed and was using was Droid blocker, it's a program for blocking calls with blocked numbers.
After doing some reading I ended up with a highly recommended program caller Airpush Detector, now I no longer have the ads
Airpush apps should be flagged.
Hopefully this will help someone else.
Hey Guys,
I seem to have installed a program that at random opens up webpage with programs? And at random it opens up a pop-up with the same crappy programs...
Do you guys know of a way to find out which program that does this? And a way to clean all excess spam that it might have installed?
- Thanks in advance

you have to think which apps you installed just before those annoying things pop up. Otherwise try installing AD-Free from the market.

Thanks, I will try adfree
-Are there any other ideas?

I use these to keep my phones junk free:
AirPush Detector
AdAway
avast! Mobile Security
The first two will be fine if you just want to block ads but I like the added protection of avast! too.
It also helps to read the comments before installing any new apps as people will usually complain about spam and ads if they're deployed in sneaky manner
Great thanks for this...

My Galaxy S8+ is giving my spammy pop up / redirect ads in Chrome. The kinds of ads that look like the site I went to is infected with some kind of virus, but it happens for a lot of different sites so I'm thinking it's my phone. It doesn't happen every time. I've attached a screenshot of one.
I don't install apps from third party sites aside from Amazon. Most of my apps are productivity type apps from pretty reputable vendors. I have a few games (not a big gamer) but they all have good reviews on Google play. I've run the built in Verizon security app with no results and I downloaded and ran AVG which found nothing either.
How do I diagnose this?
