Use an ad blocker from the play store if you are rooted. It is so great!!! The ads on apps disappear. Angry birds is ad free with one. The app is by bigtincan

My G2x was doing this. Also my girls G2x was doing this. Saying we won an iPad. Got a Nexus S, haven't received one yet but I still might??

But the ad comes in as a notification and once touched, it opens up the browser.

Still will work ad blockers block IP addresses of the ad hosting servers so it will work

Still showed up after installing that ad blocker. I get it about 4-5 times a day. It is annoying

That should have worked. You created the symlink in the ad blocker?
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk 2 Beta-5

It must be a app you installed. Check that first. Switch roms. Unless its your carrier.

lookout has a good app, and it will tell you which apps are doing funny stuff. its definitely an app doing it. heres the market link

These ads are a thing called "airpush", download a air push detector app and it will tell you which app is doing it

Definitely annoying. I've started getting similar ads, but through sms. I'd be willing to put my money on a game that was installed.

I have flashed an ad blocker through cwm and the ads are gone.

whats the best rom for nexus s 4g ICS

What's the vest Tom you guys have found for the Nexus s 4g? I want to be able to use facelock and all. Please let me know and where to download from. Thanks!
I'm sorry. I mean what is the best rom.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
Here you go. It was just released yesterday, fully built from source, works amazing. Has face unlock and every feature the GNex has.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1354263
OK that's the one I just downloaded. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. I downloaded it from my phone and went to recovery and it won't install it.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
OK I think I figured it out. I think I downloaded the nrsus s file instead of the nexus s 4g file. Would that do it? Lol

Yeah, lol. You need the 4G version. The other one isn't made for the sprint one, two different phones, actually.
I think you'll like this ROM better than the SDK port.
I hope so. So I can download the file on my phone and install it? I don't have yo do it on a computer?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
Nope. It'll just be in your download folder on your USB storage/sd card when it's done. It would be faster on a computer though, but it can be done on a phone.

Still waiting for phone to download. Computer internet is slow. So iis this the actual version of ics?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
Yup, pretty much. It's a combo of some ported Galaxy Nexus drivers, the source code from this past week and some other stuff. It's pretty legit and awesome.
Face Unlock is a little iffy though. You gotta hold the phone almost arms length away from your face or it will say it doesn't recognize you.
I got it. I like it. Why doesn't mmswork

Facebook ChatHeads Not Working

Hey guys...not sure if this is an S3 specific thing or not so I decided to post in here.
Anyways the new messenger came out today and I wanted to try out chatheads. I install all the updates and everything. Even Facebook home. There is no option to even enable chatheads in my app. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

But I've seen screen shots with a setting for chat heads underneath. They definitely are not appearing on my device

I can see the option on mine & I have working on my GT-I9100 faking a GT-I9300 so Facebook Home could work on it as it's one of the supported cellphones in the initial release.

More of a Q&A thing
Thread moved
Same problem but I think the issue is related to the Facebook accounts. I tested using two accounts on one phone. One of them had the chatheads option after signing in. The second didn't. Not a hardware or software bug. There's something wrong with the account preferences. So far it's a no go.
having the same problem (with my sony xperia tipo, just rooted, nothing else)
if i use those apks which used to have chatheads enabled it doesn't work, even if i long-press a conversation and click on "pop out chat head" it sends me to the home screen, but no chathead appears

I actually just tried this out as well. It's a bummer, I was really excited for this.

Same boat.
Galaxy S3, Verizon Rooted stock ROM and I can not enable chat heads. The option just doesn't exist.
Idk what the issue is. Its working fine for me on AOKP with nova prime.

It does exist and work, you can see in my screen shots
stripped apart rebuilt with Clean Rom&XdaTechnology!!!
Can anyone else confirm that it's an account thing and not a phone / device thing?
I've ever registered my mobile with Facebook in account settings hoping that would do it. No luck.

Unfortunately I don't think that is the case. The "headset" most likely refers to the phone itself.

That doesn't make any sense. Im sure it means what it says headset. Headphones with mic. The only way we would Not get headphones now is if it was another error on att part

Idk what picture you looking at...but that picture looks like a earphones to me (headset) not a phone. Why would the sgs4 not come with a headset? My Samsung infuse from two years ago came with a pair. My brother just ordered the galaxy s3 from amazon while it was $9.99 (att version) and it came with a pair of earphones with a Mic in the box...so why wouldn't the sgs4?
Also...why did that guy post about getting a headset finally in this thread??? What does that have to do with a guy returning to development?

Awesome, I used cognition on my captivate and was very happy with it. I've been using Omega on my sgs3, and it's the same philosophy as cognition, like a twin brother.

In play app if you go to settings and press on the build version it will update the app. Although it took many times before it actually updated then once it downloaded and installed it took awhile to see the ui changes
