[Q] A lot more ads...all of a sudden - T-Mobile LG G2x

Not sure if that this is a politically correct topic. Like many, I have used some ad blocking techniques. They no longer seem effective. Anyone else notice this?
Any thoughts beyond adfree? I have seen some host lists uploaded here and there throughout the site. How are you blocking ads?

Yeah I might have noticed this... not really sure why or what's happening. Wish I knew.

So it's not just me...
I imagine AdFree will release an update soon that will fix the issue.

Yeah I dunno what's going on. I was using adfree and that stopped working on both stock as well as cm7 I also installed that flashable zip file for the hosts file that was on here somewhere, I don't remember where, but that's not working either. Also all of the programs that this isn't working for, it started with updates to those programs like two or three weeks ago.

Yep. After updates for "bug fixes" the ads are back.

Adfree works fine for me, running latest nightlie cm7.

Android App Store not working

I recently have rooted my phone with skyraider sense and it was working fine. I installed kingx kernel and it stopped working after awhile. I did restore my phone to a previous state before the kernel but it is still not working. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks
Market is acting strange over here, too. Looks to be server-side.
+1 the market is acting up for most users. I can't use it right now either

Server side error, many person have the same problem.
I think we can confirm this is an issue on Google's side. Probably nothing more than maintenance.
Edit: Seems to be up. Successfully downloaded GalaxIR. Oddly enough, can no longer find the AppBrain Market. Anyone with better luck?

Problem with adobe flash streaming.

Hi, there is some problem with flash or something when I try to watch RT news live the sound is like a slow motion and other sites too can anyone try to go to http://rt.com/on-air/ and see if they have the same thing? There are other Alps too when it streams it sound like slow motion too, please can anyone try and see?

I had the same issue on mine, I returned it due to another issue though, so I can't test the site you posted.
Yes I have the same issue and actually have a ticket opened with adobe on this. I haven't heard anything on it in a couple weeks though. I will add a link to this post to it though. I opened a topic on this on another forum, but didn't get any response from others. Some sites work ok, but most don't.

Here is the fix. It's do to a stagefright problem.... Just reinstall stagefright following the instructions in that post and you are done... If you flash a rom, you will need to redo this....
Let me know if you guys have a problem.
Here is the response I got from an Adobe rep in reference to a ticket I opened with them on the Infuse flash issues.
Just wanted to follow up on this. We took a look at it, and it's a bug with Samsung's hardware decoder on a couple of their devices.
We reported the issue to Samsung. At some point, they'll send out an FOTA (Firmware Over The Air) update that will fix the issue. I have no info on time-frame though.
I've been having audio/video sync issues since I got this phone (the audio lags almost 1 second after video). I eventually ended up calling Samsung, and they basically told me the same thing, that this is a known issue with some of their Samsung phones and that their software developers are working on a fix. I will extremely thrilled when they come out with a firmware update!

I tried this, but it didn't fix my slow voices. It is very possible I did something wrong though as I am very new to Android. I downloaded file and unzipped it on my phone. I then copied the 4 or 5 files that unzipped and tried to copy them into the system/lib folder. It asked if I wanted to replace current and I said yes. It then said unable to copy on each one. Not sure where I messed up.

Its because the directory is mounted as read only. You need to be able to mount it as read and write. and then replace the files.... Thats it.

Well, I'm a newb when it comes to most of that. I just hope one of the many great dev's can tear into the .apk and figure out a way to mask the app from see that the device has root access.

Had the same issue. Just went in to app manager and cleared data on the market app and rebooted the phone for good measure. Once the phone booted up I acceptef the market t&c and went back to my apps. Still could update so I just left it alone. A few minutes later I noticed the app updates available icon in the notification area and clicked on it. Once I selected the app that need to be updated it gave me the opotion to update, instead of open, or uninstall.
Dunno if I like the ui...kinda hard to navigate and find stuff.
It sure is a major change, almost wp7ish.
Guess I will get used to it.

On MIUI - had it pushed to me last week. At first I thought it was a pita to use.
But... after I played with it a bit I think I like it a lot better than the old market.
The only thing I don't like is that it is painful if your not on wireless and have a slow connection.
I am not liking the update at all....

Everyone was so excited when this was first announced.
They took out the option to disable the "updates available" notification.
Also youtube and flash player don't show up under "my apps" in the market anymore. If I search them, they say installed and allow updating that way

Your flaming/personal attacks have been reported to the moderator
Normally bugs don't affect every user/configuration. They would be quickly/easily fixed if they did. Just because the bug doesn't affect you doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
:edit:

Its at the top of the list of market issues. The problem is definitely real

Android Market 3.4.4 - Notice a speed boost

Just curious, does the new Market seem a lot faster for you guys too?

Just download and install. No root needed either. Seems much better. Also looks better on my Tab than the older version.

How do I install this? Should I manually push the apk with root explorer for it to work? I tried regular install but it doesn't install.
Update: I manually pushed it with root explorer and it worked. Thx for the tip.

I would push/replace, clear dalvik and reboot.
I just installed like any other apk... No problem

I simply downloaded it... clicked on the completed download... then had the option to install... went straight to the market and checked the version, no issues at all.
Renamed and pushed no problem. Def faster.
I hope this fixes the "insufficient space" bug on our phones.

when it comes to the market, it only updates when it's open. it's the only app that does it that way. all other apps will show in the notifications. if I'm wrong, please let me know, but I don't think that's the case.

How do you know that this is the ONLY app?
But anyway, my point is if Google can do it on Android platform it does not matter with one app or many.
PS: off-topic, Google Map subscribes to bunch of intents, so it would be launched when you turn-on screen, WiFi etc... I would like start application when I press app icon... There are no other way to opt-out other then disable Map in pm.
Google maps can be stopped by using the app autostarts. All those apps that start by themselves when you do something, ie reboot phone connect to wifi ect... no longer plague me. True, I just delete most of them, but there are some I actually use (like maps and Gmail).
Unfortunately I can no longer find the exact app I use in the market, though I'm sure there are others that do the same thing. If anyone would like the apk for the one I use just let me know and I can post it next time I'm on my laptop.

Autostarts is a paid app in the market.
If you found the developer posted it for free on XDA, please link to that... otherwise this breaks XDA rules.
