adfree not working?

is anybody else having issues with adfree saying there is an update but it takes forever to update the host file tonight? it's like the app is timing out or something. plus the fact i still have ads in handcent and accuweather.
any solutions guys? im running myns rom and never had this issue before.

I had issues as well. I ended up uninstalling then reinstalling. Working like a charm now.

i tried that and no dice. i guess ill wait until morning and see what happens. maybe they are having server issues.

I'm having the same issues currently. It just times out. I tried over wifi and 3g. I will try and uninstall and reinstall and see what happens.

same problem here, nothing seems to fix it

there website is down right now, so i think it's something on their end. can somebody upload there current adfree host file for some of us having issues?
glad to know it wasn't just me having problems.

Same issue
I'm in the same boat. I uninstalled and reinstalled with no change. Hopefully the issue with their website is related and all will be back to normal tomorrow....

Same here

Try the Market Update helper in Titanium Backup.

I'm not having any issues running DW 2.1.5. All my apps downloaded fine and market prompts me for updates.
What rom are you using and have you considered full wiping then reflash? Maybe that will stop that..

I was gonna reflash my rom thinking something was wrong. Hopefully they'll get it straightened out soon.

Mine just started doing that today too and I've been on 4.0.4 for a while. Must be the app itself.

I have a sprint one myself but maybe you guys can uninstall it and re install. Might work

I'm having problems with Instagram too after flashing the new Hydro ROM for SGSII. Since quite a number of us are having problems, I think the problem is with the app and not our device.

Working for me now too. Just checked it. But when I scroll down to where it was force closing before, instant fc's again. Maybe bad data for some. Who knows. Looks like maybe it will fix itself as people post pix though
Edit: doing it again. POS. Lol

An update was available on the Play Store today. Seems to have fixed it.

I have tried air pusher as well as several antivirus software and cant get rid of them. I have also uninstalled apps since the problem began and and still have the problem. Anyone have any ideas? I really dont want to factory wipe unless im out of options. any help would be greatly appreciated

just to clarify. you used airpush detector or addons detector from the market to find out witch apps were causing this?

How long has this been happening for? Did you install a hacked application from outside of the market?

Try Norton's new app spot detector

Dang... that's gotta be annoying. You should probably do a reset and start fresh.

Are you rooted? If so I would do a titanium backup, then create a backup in CWM, wipe all your data and do a clean install, then using titanium backup re load your apps one by one until you find which is the problem application.

[Q] Can't get rid of "package file is invalid" error in PlayStore

So I flashed a bunch of roms over 2-3 days trying to find something different that I'd like. Now no matter what I try, I can't get this to go away.
I've searched and experimented for the past 2 days and I can't get anywhere.
-clear app cache
-clear app data
-remove updates
-format sd card
-factory reset phone
-turn off location services
-turn off wifi
-try new apn
-install stock rom
-install various other roms
-delete cache, permissions, etc
-different gmail accounts
-sign out, reboot, sign in
I've literally tried everything out there that I can find by searching. The last thing I haven't done that I will have to try if I can't do anything else is to "un-root" my phone back to stock.
The weird thing is if I Check the play store, it says apps are installed. But they aren't.
Any one out there have any ideas?

Going back to stock won't fix it either. It a problem on googles end.

I'm having the same issue. I'm not rooted or anything. I can download certain apps no problem but can't update any. I tried almost everything you did and nothing worked. I even took it to att and was told it's an issue with Google. You can always download a vpn app from the play store and you'll be able to download with no errors. I use hideninja Vpn.

It allows you to change your location to france, Canada or wherever which in turn changes your IP address. It doesn't change your location permanently of course, only while your connected to the app. I looked online for ways to fix the package file invalid error and this was one way posted. It definitely works if you have this annoying problem. I even went ahead and purchased the pro version of the app I posted. Lol.

I still have not fixed the issue. I was stuck on trying 2 to 3 apps that refused to work. Looking across the board, I am able to download probably 80% of the apps that I try. Nothing has allowed me to get the other 20% that refuse to work so far.
I've tried the VPN app....I don't think there is anything else out there on my end that I can do. It's weird, I can download 5 apps in a row, then one app will give me the error, then I can keep on chugging if I choose a different app.

its happenning to alot of people, myself included...no big deal, as no app is "life critical"...
when google gets it fixed, it will be back to business as usual, so just be patient
