How to stop Advertisement? - About xda-developers.com

I´m looking for some Threads here and follow them.
But since a few Days - i have opened more Tabs in IE - sometimes i here sound coming out of my PC.
I can´t find out where they came from, but now i know!
on the bottom of XDA on the right side there is an advertisment, and sometimes there are some videos!
I´m From Germany, sometimes there are News about our German Football-Team about the EM, videos of VIP´s and a Computergame, and i can´t stop them, the reloaded themselves.
What can i do
This is getting on my nervs!!!
I HATE IT!

Best Way?
Get a browser that supports adblock.
Some people were saying that if you're a Recognised contributor you won't get ads (I never had them in the first place because I use adblock)

Whoa, who uses IE nowadays anyway? Chrome + Adblock is all you'll ever need.

THIS is not my Question!
I use IE and i don´t want google or firefox or....
Bill Gates is watching @ my PC already so i don´t need google to watch @ my PC, too!

There is another way to stop ads, and not sure how well it works, and since I don't use it.
Google for "adblock hosts file".

No need to be so defensive. I tried to help you get rid of both the adverts which are annoying you and the horror that is Internet Explorer. Plus, if you have an Android phone (chances are you do, being on XDA) Google is already 'watching you', and far better on your phone with all of the location data and stuff than on your PC . Speaking of Android, using Chrome would give you much better integration with your phone (again, if you have an Android phone)

System App .CABs?

This may or may not be a stupid question and I've looked high and low for an answer but is there anywhere i can download system apps individually? Specifically Windows Live Messenger.
The ROM i have installed doesnt have it included and a .CAB of it would be beautiful.
Correct me if this isnt even possible...
THANKS!
microsoft probably has windows live messenger available for download.
EDIT: I found it, but it is so easy to find that I won't be helping you. I don't even think you searched. If XDA doesn't work, try Google.
if you don't google it your lazing it

Yeah but he said he looked up and down. What a liar.
google ppc windows messenger..
man i get loads of hits on that one!
... thanks for making me feel like an idiot but...
i dont know how there is such a flood of people calling me retarded but iv obviously googled it and found windows websites saying
"How do I get started?
MSN Messenger is a standard application for Windows Mobile-based Pocket PCs and Smartphones (versions 2002 and 2003).
To launch MSN Messenger on your device, all you need to do to get started is launch MSN Messenger from the Programs menu (a connection to the internet must be established first).
Now you are ready to add some friends and try all the different features MSN Messenger for Windows Mobile devices offers!"
that isnt exactly a download link. every other website is third party apps... which are not what i was looking for. and thus all these answers saying basically "****ing google it liar" are completely wrong. if you actually googled it yourself youd see that it isnt a solution. hence me asking here....
I'm a huge fan of the accomplishments of this community but really though... its a legit question.
If anyone genuinely has an answer thatd be greatly appreciated.
and if im seriously that blind and it is there than im sorry for my incompetence but im fairly certain that this isnt as simple as you all seem to think it is?!
......
nevermind. i am infact retarded. i had no idea that msn was bundled WITH the live service because my phone still had live on it just not messenger... i downloaded the whole bundle and now lifes great... but thanks for calling me stupid a bunch that was pleasant.... how am i suppose to know theyre bundled together?! (windows is ****ing stupid, thats why im a mac user.
lmao!
hi there moron. (just kidding - welcome on board )

[Q] youtube Downloaders disappearing off market?

Anyone know of any working youtube downloaders? Seems the ones I have used in the past are all pulled from the market (Freedi was best but they went all Chinese or something ....Youtube Ripper is gone also..along with another one I used whos name escapes me atm)
Are there being deemed warez also and google is facing some legal issues with having them, or am I just blind?
If they are ok to post, could someone please shoot me an apk or a link somewhere to an actual working program?
Thanks in advance!!
Er should be titled TRIED, not tired...but hell I am tired come to think of it lol
I have no Android solution, but I use YouTubeDownloader on the PC & it works great.
Sorry man. I got nothing. I can help if you want a pornhub downloader though lol.
Yes, they do seem to all be disappearing with no rhyme or reason. I have TubeMate 0.9.10 on my phone, here's the APK:
http://db.tt/oM8POF6
And you should probably change your title to something like "YouTube apps disappearing from market?".
ack thank ya for the linky and LOL @ porn ...That actually cracked me up thank you\
Changed title
First off, I need that Porntube downloader please!
Secondly, all the Youtube downloaders are disappearing because Youtube wants you to come to THEIR site to see the videos, not download them and save them. Youtube makes money off advertising when you visit and click stuff, they don't make anything if you download the videos.
That said, I like Jet VD myself. It lets you pick the quality etc and works VERY well. Unfortunately, it was just removed from the market the other day. I'll post the .apk when I get home though, it's free anyway.
That or try googling it.
hey hey hey!

It would be great if you would post it, as I can't seem to find it anywhere.
JetVD is about the best I've seen.
Freedi is the best, I use it myself. It appears to be in Chinese, lol. But after you download it you can change the language and what country your in. Hope this helps.

Windows Phone 7 Owners Q & A Thread

Theres a few people on the forum with the device already so if its not too much of a hassle for your guys can you give us some insight on the devices .
i've got a couple of questions, for those with it. Can you guys test downloading a mp3 through the browser
can u go to this link and dl the mp3 on the phones browser to see if it adds to ur music library http://bit.ly/b1iS0C
i just would like to know how it handles downloading music or any other files thru the web browser, does it let u manage the picture or mp3 and let u add it to ur library on the phone (without using a computer)
I am interested in knowing this as well.
I think that music cannot be downloaded via the browser as I don't think users are allowed to access the file system.

Well i asked someone on twitter who had access to a test unit and he said it saves from the browser and plays but was unable to add it to the library or atleast he didnt know how to. But maybe all this has changed in the release build of wp7
Just streams the file. Cannot see an option to save it.
I do hope we're able to download stuff to our phones. It would be silly to not have that as an option.

Surely users are able to manage the space where their music is stored? (Much like they can do with photos) How else would you load songs onto your phone from Zune?

I think leaving Flash would be a good idea and go the same that Apples going as I think flash is messy and buggy.
HTML5 will be the way forward, however if users NEED flash then hopefully they will make it optional.

[APP] packet sniffing

ive removed this thread, xda did not ask me to do this, i am doing it on my own, because i no longer wish to make this app public, thank you for your understanding
so this app will connect me to a secured wifi point without entering a password ?
no, lets say youre at school, and you along with everyone else at your school is connected to the schools wifi, you turn on this app, and it will tell you all of the facebook users, amazon users, youtube users ect.. for example it will say facebook: John Dow, Will Smith, Papa Smurf, and so on, with a list of users. just click one of those users, and youre now logged in to their facebook, you can change their status, account info, upload a picture, or snoop through pictures. if youre on youtube, upload a video, change favorites, anything youd do on youtube normally.. if youre on amazon, buy them a flat screen, or some pokemon cards (what ever people use amazon for anyways..) whatever.. get it?
woah !!! that is naughty
im downloading it now lol. its crazy, how does it work ?

Always connect to those sites using SSL. (use HTTPS in front). Most big websites such as twitter or facebook have an option in your account settings to force use HTTPS and stop storing non-SSL cookies. (but you need to delete current one)
This tool kind of made such attacks slightly more mainstream, although they've been there since ip. http://codebutler.github.com/firesheep/
This is legit. It's been posted over at Engadget.
It is probably completly illegal though

Please eliminate audible ads on in the XDA forums!!!

I love XDA. This site has provided me with a great deal of useful information for all of my Android phones.
However, the audible ads you guys are incorporating into the site lately are absolutely obnoxious and I've gotten to the point where browsing the forums is no longer enjoyable. Every few minutes I get some person trying to sell me something through my headphones while drowning out my music. And since I typically have 3+ XDA tabs open I end up having to close out of all of them until I eliminate the one with the running audible ad.
This is completely obnoxious and greatly diminishes the user experience on this site.
If there is a way to disable the sound on this site through some user settings then please let me know. I'm all ears, obviously...
I've flagged this to the admin. We dont deliberately put these ads on the forum, some of them slip through the net so to speak.

First few days turned the sound down, but if I was at a different website listening to a video, and an xda tab was open, it would play an ad in the background.
Finally uninstalled flash player, now I just get nagged to re-install flash every few minutes that I'm on xda.
Ads may vary depending on your location. I think you must blame the ad provider.
Edit : Use aboutlugin(s) and disable flash, works on chrome.

you can google how to block ads for IE9. Its under settings/safety/tracking protection. There is a file you can enable there that you download that blocks ads.
I got my list from www.privacytracker.org
for IE9, try here:

Yeah glad I found this thread as the ad's have been completely annoying. Recently I've been seeing WAYYYY more of the audible video ad's around here. The Gordon Ramsy one is the most freq one I come across. Still getting them right now though.
Hope it gets sorted out as it deff hurts the experience here. I understand the ad's are needed to help support the site but the audible ones are a lil much imho.
We're sorry about the audio ads. We hate them too, and they'll be gone very soon. Please continue to report when you hear such ads. Screenshots always help.
Man I thought i had a virus or something here I am in my chair and my laptop starts with a sears kenmore thing about appliances so I check task manager and nothing is running cept my browser so i run my security software nothing comes up.

Good thing it's not a virus! I heard that audio too earlier, but have been on for a few hours and it hasn't come back. Do you think they got rid of it?
I had a thread about this but it was closed by Admin. Not sure why. Anyhow I found a way to stop them on Google Chrome for those who might be interested. go to this link
http://blogote.com/featured-article/google-chrome-with-firefox-addon/634/
there is about halfway down a link that says adblock. All you do is drag that link to your bookmarks bar. it is a firefox addon that works on google chrome.
