[SOLVED] AdAway Blocks ads on WiFi only - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

So I've used AdAway since I bought my GNex, and it's always worked perfectly until now. Whenever I was on 4.1.x ROMs, AdAway would block all the ads on various apps on any network connection, whether WiFi, 3G, or Edge. Ever since upgrading to a 4.2.x ROM, it is only blocking when I'm connected to a WiFi network. On cellular data connections its like I don't even have AdAway installed. I've tried it on different 4.2.1 ROMs, and they all give the same results. I'm pretty sure that the reason its not working has to do with the Android version, but I can't find anybody else that has this problem, or at least can't find it posted anywhere. Does anybody have a solution or suggestion on how to try and fix it?
Thanks.
Solution: APN proxy causes ads to show up. Removed it and all is good!

It blocks for 3G/4G for me just fine. On 4.2.1 myself.
Try reinstalling the app? what is your ROM / Kernel set up?
Try installing SuperSU https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwyLDEsImV1LmNoYWluZmlyZS5zdXBlcnN1Il0.

I actually have reinstalled the app. Should've went into more detail in my first post. I've tried redownloading from the market as well as reinstalling from a titanium backup, without data. I've uninstalled and reinstalled about 5 different times now, each with a different combination of reboots in between. I'm currently running ParanoidAndroid 2.99 beta8 with stock kernel. But I've had the exact same issue with each of the below configurations:
Paranoid 2.99 beta 6, two different beta 7s, two beta 8s. I've had the stock kernel with each beta, and also tried Franco.kernel r342 (if memory serves) on beta 6, and each beta 7s. I have only used stock kernel on beta 8. I've also had the stock ROM rooted installed with stock kernel. Come to think of it, I've only used Paranoid or Stock 4.2.x ROMs. Could it have something to do with the Paranoid ROM? But what confuses me is why it blocks on WiFi just fine, but no other connections. Paranoid has SuperSU with it, but I think when I rooted the stock ROM it was just SuperUser, not SuperSU.
Thanks for your help!

I had no problems with AdAway when I used my GN with CM10.1 + Franco (gave the phone to a family member, i keep it updated every other day). You can try another ROM or try https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DMsImNvbS5iaWd0aW5jYW4uYW5kcm9pZC5hZGZyZWUiXQ.. I find adaway to be more superior though but if adaway doesnt work and adfree. just use that for the time being

Well I just installed JBSourcery ROM and downloaded AdAway from the Play Store. It still does the same thing, no ad-blocking on cellular data. It's really starting to drive me nuts! I use the Chive app for testing it, and that's where I notice the ads the most, but it isn't blocking in any app unless on WiFi.

I just checked the settings on AdAway and everything looked good. All hosts were selected. I uninstalled AdAway and installed AdFree, but it doesn't work either. Still get ads. If it matters, when I try to look at the TCPDump screen its always blank. Was on PA 2.99 when I had AdFree before.
Got any more suggestions? lol

Always! When I flash a different ROM I do a Factory Reset, then Wipe Cache and Dalvik, usually twice. If I'm going from one kind of ROM to another I usually wipe /system as well, but if I'm just upgrading within a family of ROMs I only wipe Cache and Dalvik. I'm at a complete loss as to what could be causing it. I think the next thing I'm gonna try is formatting /system, data (not /data/media), cache and Dalvik, then install a 4.2.1 ROM, GApps, then AdAway and theChive and see if it works. If it does then maybe an app I have is conflicting, though I don't see how.
Thanks again.

Yeah I'm "somewhat" knowledgable about flashing and computers and things, so I try to do things the right way when I do them. That's part of why this bugs me so much.

Yeah, well, I probably had other things I should've been doing, but you know how that goes. lol.
I did a factory reset, wiped /system, cache, and dalvik before the ROM flash. Then I flashed JBSourcery v4, gapps, then wiped cache and dalvik again. When it first booted, I installed AdAway from Play Store, applied blocking, rebooted, installed theChive and speedtest.net from Play Store, and I STILL have the same problem. The only thing I have left to format is my sdcard I think, but I don't know if that would have any effect.
Would you mind telling me what your options are set to in AdAway or post a screenshot of the settings screen? Maybe I have a problem there somehow carrying over through ROMs. I appreciate all your help so far. This thing is really bugging me. Thanks again!

Mines are all pretty much default. Downloaded app and applied it. Didn't do anything special. Only thing checked in settings is to check for updates.
Have you tried Cyanogenmod? What kernel do you normally use as well?

I haven't tried Cyanogenmod yet. Maybe I'll try flashing that next. I usually use whatever stock kernel is installed with the ROM now. In the past I've used Franco.kernel and I've never used any kernel besides those two. The only thing I have left to check is something on my sdcard causing problems. With a factory reset, format /system, cache, and dalvik, there isn't anything that doesn't get wiped is there? I'm gonna try a different baseband too. I really don't think that'll fix it but stranger things have happened. Thanks again for your help!

Your not the only one-
I am getting an FC when trying to use the configure apps feature...this didn't happen before the latest update. Also, I was able to use AOSP Helper...and now I can't. I haven't made any major changes and I've followed the error instructions...which was uninstall, delete the backup file located in the download folder, restart, and reinstall. I done this 3 times + wiped both caches prior to the reinstall. I've also sent the error logs to the developers...I'm at wits end. I'll freeze it using TiB, until they get this worked out.
A factory restore or nand is not worth my time...I believe it's the app and not the device. I just hope a resolution happens.

[Q] Reboot woes: disappearing/FC apps

Hi, everyone; adding to the flood of questions...
I've been having some issues after a reboot lately:
- a couple of my apps will disappear. Namely Line Runner and the Merriam Webster Dictionary. I did some searching on this earlier and people who have had similar problems said it was due to the apps being installed on SD. I moved them to the phone, which seemed to solve the problem, but:
- rebooting also seems to make me lose my latest Google Search and Maps updates. The market will prompt me to update these. These apps are already on the phone, so no clue how to fix that one. But the most annoying thing is:
- after reboot, several of my game apps will force close when I try to open them. It seems like it's the more processor-intense ones: Pew Pew, Osmos, Anomaly, World of Goo. I thought maybe it was because of the undervolting/underclocking settings I have (from GideonX), but the apps work fine (running quite smoothly) after I install them, as long as I don't reboot. As soon as I reboot, if I try to open them again I get FC. If I uninstall then reinstall, they run fine again.
Any ideas? I'm running Juggernaut 4.1 with faux's 009u kernel and, as I said above, Gideon's script. I tried one reboot back to faux's stock clock/voltage settings, but I still got FCs on the apps. Granted, I didn't try it again or give it time to settle in or anything.
Any thoughts, folks? Thanks!
fix permissions? fresh wipe and install? clear cache? fiddle around
Ah, forgot to mention. Tried all of the above (fix permissions, clear cache, reflashed ROM, even recovered to my pre-custom ROM backup and reflashed from there).
I did some more testing on this, and I think I've narrowed down the problem. I flashed back to stock voltage/clock settings under faux's kernel, then reinstalled one of the apps I had issues with (Osmos). Upon reboot it still ran okay. So it seems I won't get force closes after reboot IF the app was installed under stock settings.
Does anyone know why undervolting and/or underclocking would cause apps to force close only after reboot?
EDIT:
Well, never mind. I did some more testing, and what I thought worked last time didn't work again. Must have just gotten lucky that time. Sigh.

Don't want to count my chickens, but using super wipe seems to have done the trick so far! Using super wipe before flashing Jugg 5.0 seems to have gotten rid of my problem of FC apps.
Thanks again!

[Q] Apps on market say my device is not compatible

Hey wuts up all first on new here so I wanted to say hi and thanks for making such an awesome site possible! Anyways I'm having problems getting apps on the market like Google maps. It tells me my device is not compatible. I haven't done anything new from my knowledge. I'm running the cm7.2 nightly from xjackofall. It only happened with some apps. Can anyone help.
Try flashing the gapps.apk that can be found Here!
That should sort it out for you. Make sure you uninstall all the current google apps you have downloaded, such as google voice, maps, g+, gtalk and so on.
Good luck!
EDIT: Ok this link should work
thanks ill try that once i unbrick my my phone. i flashed a pc36img that i though would downgrade my hboot so i could get s off instead it locked bootloader and bricked it. ive unlocked boot loader again but it still wont let me into the recovery. any suggestions?
never mind i fixed it thanks for the help with the apps ima try that now.
I flashed the latest gapps but it didn't change anything. Any other ideas?
Could be an issue with build.prop maybe?
Well did you wipe everything before you flashed? I think the way you are wiping is not correct. Before you flash gapps u must full wipe, wipe dalvick cache and wipe cache. Then flash gapps. Also helps to be flashing on a fresh rom that doesn't have gapps included.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
So I wiped everything and started with a new rom. Everything worked great for a day for two then I went to download something from the market that same damn error popped up again. From what I understand the market can tell what type of device you are using is it possible that the data it is trying to access is corrupt in some way? If so what could be causing it to become corrupted. Granted I could be wrong about how market works I'm still learning.
Try going into apps and clearing data and cache.
Its working fine now and I did nothing. Idk my phones been acting crazy lately. It turns thing off and on by itself wifi 4g and mobile connectivity work intermittently. Lately when I turn my phone on the mobile network is off. right now the onlything working network wise is 3g so I have no idea what's going on.
I'm having the same problem.............Can't download Maps from the market.
I just flashed the new CM7.2
Can u give a specific list of GAPPS that needed to be uninstalled? Some of mine don't have the option to uninstall

First try wiping cache, dalvic cache and clear the market data restart and see if that fixes it. If that didn't work then you will probably have to do what ihugyou said and do a full wipe and reinstall gapps.
Have u changed your screen resolution? If so you can get this error.

[Q] Is there an ICS (or later) ROM as stable as CM 7.1?

Is there an ICS (or later) ROM for DInc that is as stable and functional as CM 7.1? I am still running CM 7.1 and haven't kept up with latest developments other than that 7.1 was apparently the last "official" CM ROM.
Cm 7.2 was the latest release of cm 7.
ICS is not as stable or full featured in this device. Though my cm 10 and cm 10.1 builds have mostly everything working. (First page of incredible development)

I've read about every 10-th page of the thread for your 10.1 ROM.
Am I correct that main issue is video camera being choppy and slowdown right after the startup? Is this pretty much it? Are there any slowdowns during the regular usage and/or app incompatibility?
Coming from CM 7.1 do I need to flash newer recovery version (I have CWM 5.0.2.0)?
I plan to do:
0) Put this file on my SD card: http://goo.im/devs/tiny4579/inc/cm10.1/cm-10.1-20130330-TINY-inc.zip - should I rename it to something else? I haven't flashed anything in a long time and if I recall correctly ROM may have to have specific file name to be flashed?
1) Backup,
2) Factory reset
3) Boot in recovery by holding "Vol Down" when turning power on
4) Format /system using CWM menu selection
5) Flash new ROM
6) Install Google Apps
Did I get this right?
If I want to get back to CM 7.1 - all I have to do is to reset to factory setting, format /system and restore from my 7.1 backup, right?
Pretty close make sure you flash the gapps in the OP of my ROM thread as they're designed for this rim on this device. Also to go back to cm 7.1 (use cm 7.2 if you're using cm7 honestly) all you have to do is restore your backup.

i don;t know about the specifics of CM 7.x versus CM 10.x but the issue is one that manifests itself over time. obviously if you don;t run any apps that store data in the phone memory area(which is done by developers for "speed and security") then you might never run into this issue. you could easily stay under 149mb and never notice. But once you get down to less than 10-30% free, strange things start happening that only a factory reset will fix.
Some of the apps that do it are the text messaging app-this is the notorious one because everyone tends to save every text they ever receive. Others include email clients, google maps, amazon app store. the Google Playstore actually caches updates to your phone.

Yeah, I used to save all my messages. I remember clearing some out helped with that. I use Aqua Mail. Not sure if that does it. Is there a way to tell if an app caches to /data/data? Judging by root explorer, I'm only using about 50% right now.

Not an easy way but many apps do cache some. Easy way to clear app cache is tap cached data in storage.
The whole 10% free issues shouldn't happen with cm's /data/data monitoring and if they do a simple clear of app cache will help unless you really don't have space left.

the problem is there is a threshold you will hit eventually where no amount of cache clearing will fix. I hit it several times and had to factory reset causing me alot time and losing my configuration. this was before I rooted the phone. this can happen if you use an app like Facebook which may cache alot of data-several megs worth.
I use Appmgr Pro to monitor my space along with DiskUsage. Fortunately since rooting and installing the updated rom and fix, i haven;t had an issue. however, sometimes i clear out 40-60 megs worth of cache data. just stuff being downloaded by the Playstore.

I'm pretty sure it refers to Facebook Messenger (it's messenger not messaging, which is how Facebook's Messenger app is spelled). I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app. I contacted support. I cleared data/cache. I cleared the whole systems cache in recovery. Nothing helps. This thing "stops responding" like 10 times a day. It's unbearable.

I think he was being rhetorical and saying to stop using it.
I'm going to say Uninstall it, reboot, then reboot into Recovery and wipe dalivk/cache and Fix Perms, then reboot System, let the phone boot completely (10mins+), then reinstall said app from Play Store. This is what I had to do with G+ to get it working again.

Fix Perms would be on a custom Recovery, such as TWRP or CWM. If you aren't running one of those (or another custom Recovery), then ignore that part or install one (this is XDA after all).

haha yea i don't root anymore since getting a phone that's actually powerful enough on its own to run the software that comes with it. but xda is still my forum of choice just because it's xda.
well thanks for the advice though, i'll try doing things in the order you mentioned anyway and see if that helps. unless i succumb to buying a note 3 tomorrow haha.

Any luck? I rooted my S2, did a GS2ROMWIPE and installed [WizzedKAT Rom][V2.9 Final !!]. I then restored my backed-up apps using Super Backup.
I had to uninstall and reinstall Facebook as it kept crashing. I decided to also install FB Messenger. At regular intervals now even just when driving and using Google Maps navigation, I get the error "unfortunately, messenger has stopped" and I must click "OK". (screenshot attached).
I've uninstalled Messenger and am yet to receive another error, but I would like to install it again if there is a solution to this error.
EDIT: I followed the steps :

I got to wiping the Dalvik Cache but in Philz Kernel there is no Fix Pemissions. I left that out and rebooted. Then I started getting new errors that "Unfortunately, contacts has stopped". Have since rebooted and Contacts is working again. Will now try reinstalling FB messenger
Fix permissions is starting to be left out of recoveries because it very rarely does anything anyone needs. As for your app im not sure. Its possible the dev needs to update it for use on kk. If you do a clean flash, and only install that app, does it still behave the same? If so its probably a compatibility issue.

Touch wood, but Facebook Messenger seems to have behaved itself in the half-day since reinstalling it after wiping the Dalvik Cache. I can't say why the cache wipe temporarily affected Contacts, but that's fine too after a reboot.
Should the "Messenger Has Stopped" message reappear, I'll look into doing a clean flash to determine compatibility issues of the app, but I never used FB Messenger on my i9100 Stock Rom so I do not have that as a comparison. That said, the OP had issues on an unrooted S3, so the app could be suspect or perhaps me and Polarbearmc had another software issue in common that affected FB Messenger .
Anyhow, if it worked for me, perhaps the OP had to consider temporarily rooting their phone to do this Davlik Cache wipe too. If the OP feeds back that will be nice, for me I'll continue to explore my new WizzedKat 2.9 Rom.
