Hi. I am using lollipop 5.0.1 and i am having these 2 small problems
1 ebay app. Pics are not showing. I tried my wife htc one and pics load fine. She is on 4.4.2
2 sometimes when i go to google images from chrome and dowbload pics. It doesnt show in photos. Jist error.
Any help in either ? Thanks
Wife and I are having same issue for about a week now on our S5's. If I go to my browser I see images but not in the app. We are on 4.4.2 not lollipop so there has to be another issue. Funny thing is we see the thumbnail images on front page where it shows recently viewed items but nowhere else. I've cleared our caches, reinstalled, and everything else I can think of along with searching web extensively with no luck.
Hi there,
I had this same issue and manage to fix it, hope is not too late to suggest a solution.
My culprit was Adfree, in the latest updates it added a the ebay images string to the hosts file.
So, if you have adfree or not (maybe similar app or firewall), I'll suggest to download Hosts Editor, look for "i.ebay.images" (or similar address), and delete it.
Hope that helps!:fingers-crossed:

thanks that did the trick
since "i.ebay.images" was not found, it was an other line that had to be deleted.
eventhough I just did I forgot which line I purged....
I think it was i.ebayimg.com
Thanks for this, I was suffering from the same fault albeit on HTC One M8. I had my suspicions it was adfree related but didn't know how to sort it.
Thank you so much ... It was driving me nuts
Thanks for sharing, this fix worked for me as well.
that solved the isue with ebay images not showing.
Thank you.
Thank you for this explanation. Fixed my problem and instructions were perfect!
TYVM. Worked like a charm!!

if you have ADFREE app installed just opens adfree and press reverse button
Thanks for that. I assume it's adfree which stops the links in my emails from working. Do you have any idea what the name for that host maybe be? It get bit of a pain having to boot up the laptop every time I want to open a link. Links to down loads in the emails don't work at all but I think other links do.
---------- Post added at 11:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:29 AM ----------
Ok I worked this out. Here is how i fixed it when certain links in emails don't work.
To fix it I clicked on the link in the email. The phone then try to open the link in he browser but fails. In the browser address bar you can see the name of the host. On my case it was clicks.aweder. I found the link name in the host file list and deleted it. Now the link I want to work in the email is working. I found there were lots of hosts with similar names but I only needed to delete the exact match and not any of the rest.
I hope this helps anyone with similar problems. For reference I use adfree on my rooted devuce but I am sure it works for other similar ad blockers.
THANK YOU! You're my new hero!
THANK YOU! I downloaded hosts and deleted ALL Ebay entries and instantly like magic, the app works again. It was driving me nuts for a couple of weeks. I thank you for being a credit to the community. Fantastic job--thanks again!

This worked for me, but I had to remove i.ebayimg.com
Thanks all much. This is the file I found and worked perfectly: i.ebayimg.com
Sure it helped. Thanks.
Thanks for useful suggestion. It worked me also
That's it! Thank you.
I just deleted all three eBay entries and it worked fine after that. ???

First of all: Yes i searched for similar topics but did not found one discussing the same problem :/
If updated my Galaxy S (rooted) 3 or 4 days ago.
Since this update AdFree is not blocking ads anylonger (e.g. Angry Birds and so on). AdFree has su-rights and tells me that the Hosts file is up to date (and i can see it in the "system/etc/" folder).
I don't know if this can help:
Buildnumber: FROYO.XXJQ3
Thanks in advance (and sorry for any gramatical errors - im not a native speaker )
i would try uninstalling adfree and reinstalling it. after reinstalling, open adfree, wait for it to tell you that it's up-to-date, then press menu and select download and install hosts, should be good to go.
I actually already tried it but i did it -> reinstalltion and updating the hosts file once again (even reverted it before uninstall). also rebootet the phone but I still see all ads :/
There's always the obvious alternative. Airplane mode. Toggle it on when you want a game of A.B and there won't be any ads.
Is there a way to recover the blank screen piece that was occupied by ads?

Yeah sure this would work. But AdFree would be an "easier" solution due to the fact that i don't have to turn on/off the Internet a hundred times every day
So please refer to the original question: what have i to do to make adfree work again? I even don't not why it stopped working :S Is it caused by the new update?!
did you happen to do a backup before you did the update? if so, just restore. other than doing a factory reset, i don't know how to uninstall an update or if it's even possible.
No unfortunately not. Well I made a backup but this did not include apps or even the Firmware so: no this would not be a possibility to solve the problem =/
I think its ways important to find out what causes the problem.
Use droidwall from the market. You can deny internet access to Angry Birds and still stay connected.

No, the developer has to have implemented that.
Hi, I'm using an SGS+ (i9001) and either Ad-Free nor the manual pushing of the hosts file is giving success in blocking adds. Host file is in /etc folder and >800kb.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Give adaway a try.
same problem... host file is added correct, but adds are not blocked.
any further ideas?
If you can determine the addresses that the ads are coming from you could try blacklisting them in adaway.
I know there's an adfree thread somewhere here, did you try looking there?
u juz have to update it frequently..
it seems it's not working on my GNex as well...
It runs and it updates host files, but i still see ads in apps like diceplayer and astro file manager...
I have 4.0.2 with cwm and am rooted
Adfree barely works for me so i deleted it

remove proxy and port setting in APN , maybe it works
This has just been sitting in the my apps section of marketplace since I ran market doctor in Titanium Backup. I have absolutely no idea what this app does, (if anything) both the description and Whats New text simply says LocalTryTry followed by two screen shots of a three paned interface that is completely blank. Attempting to update the app fails and I can find no actual trace of it's existence on my transformer anywhere.
So I ask, what is this thing had how do I get rid of it? Frankly Its freaking me out a bit.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.asus.weather
Well that seems to be that mystery solved
I have exactly the same problem.
It came about exacly the same way i have tried using two different roms with the same result.
Have you got rid of it and how you did it.
Thanks

Using Titanium Backup just unlink LocalTryTRy (Asus weather) from the market and it stops nagging you about updates that always fail.
Well first post gets an answer pretty quick.
Pretty easy when you know how
Thanks for you help.
So instead of breaking the market link is there a way to port the update again? If I knew how I would since that seems like a better option.

Which might be why it worked right off the box, since it's more aosp then touchwiz.

adblocking?
I have hulu plus on me sgs4g and it works great. the only problem that I have is that if i have adfree enabled at all it just buffers. I don't mind watching the commercials, however it would be nice if i didn't have to revert adfree and sometimes reboot just to watch a video for a while. Any one know of an adblocking program that will allow hulu but block everything else? Thanks!

I have pretty much removed adblock and the likes from my pc and phone. I replace the built in hosts file with one updated monthly from this website .
You just replace your current hosts file on your phone with is and it will pretty much nuke ads. Some will get by but that is just the nature of the beast.
Click the link I posted above scroll down about half way you will see a couple links on that page. Just above the donate button is a link that says hosts.zip long press the link and select save as. Then using root explorer or something similar extract the file to your sdcard. Navigate to wear you saved it long press and copy it. Now go to system/etc and paste the file there. Long press it again and select rename, then spell hosts in lower case letters. Save it and you will be ad free for the most part. If you get a error about renaming it. just rename it host then rename it again to hosts.
What this will do is redirect all ads to the local host which is 127.0.0.1 and it will not resolve the address so ads will not appear.
Hulu uses some odd ad services so you will have to try to figure out who they use and edit the file to allow them through.

I had the same problem. I used TB to freeze adblock and unfroze when I needed it back. Works for me.
Honestly it isn't working sorry me at all anymore. Even after reflashing and reformatting my SD card and not installing any other apps. Plays the ads but tells me to check my connection when it gets to the video. Tried with unnamed and VB. Any idea's?

I know Google Play videos won't work on rooted devices. I have seen some work arounds to trick the player to not thinking you are rooted but haven't tried them. I use Netflix. This might be the issue for Hulu as well.

Hello Everyone,
So I have an RT device and I been looking around the forums and saw a lot of people trying to add websites to the whitelist so they could get there flash sites working and were having issues. I now have created a script that will allow you to add websites and custom white lists without any issues.

Nice work
Btw I read on neowin about this tool deleting logins etc.
I think it has to delete browsing history or clear the cache in order to work. I dont think it will work without deleting one of those.
Let me know if you find a method to make it work without the need to delete browsing history and then ill add it to the other thread.

Yeah it will delete your stored login information.
I think i can get it to work without deleting the saved password information. I will be working on that this weekend along with a few more tweaks. I really just wanted to get it out there and have more people testing it.
If someone can confirm exactly what needs to be cleared I can adjust the settings in the script. Otherwise I will do my testing and find out.

Hey so I looked into it for you. I got it to work it wasn't to hard. So what is happening is the acutal video is hosted on another site so not only will you need to add slipstreamtv.com you will need to add the site that hosts the actual live TV. Now to find out the website that is hosting it all you have to do on a regular computer that has flash enabled you will need to right click where the video box is and click "settings" then click the little folder icon and it will show you the website where it is getting the stream from. I have posted pictures on how to do it.
However in this case it looks like slipstreamtv.com uses udemy.com but a lot one more website that I found by going through the HTML source of the website. I added the following site and it worked without an issue.
slipstreamtv.com
udemy.com
sawlive.tv

Remember sometimes you may need to look at the HTML code on the source page.
I have a question. Not to complain or anything. Why don't we set the required domain as "debug domain" in registry instead of messing with the white list? In my experience, using debug domain trick is much cleaner and it still allow the while list to get updated by Microsoft.

Hey, I choose to do it this way because I did not want to add a ton of strings into the Registry. I'd rather play around with the white list then with the registry. I will be updating the custom white list thats within the tool often so that it will be very much up to date as Microsoft and contain custom ones as well.

hi all. ive recently updated google chrome to the last version and i am unable to disable the annoying suggested content on chrome
the older method was to disable the 2 flags
chrome://flags/#enable-ntp-popular-sites
chrome://flags/#enable-ntp-snippets
but now after the update no option is there to disable the snippets flag
is there a method to disable this after the update. in the meantime ive reverted back to the. previous chrome version as i find the suggested content annoying. thanks

I have found this:
reddit DOT com/r/chrome/comments/67ndux/help_bookmarks_and_recent_tabs_buttons_gone_in/
google replies it's permanent, bunch of idiots
link
please reply on that forum you don't agree with this
I was also getting annoyed with unwanted junk as suggested content. Tried above options too. The first one about popular sites is still available at the time of posting this reply but that disables only dumping on new tab what is perceived as popular site at Google end.
I got rid of suggested content permanently by signing out of Chrome (Android) and by disabling couple of things under Settings - Privacy. 1. Search and site suggestions and 2. Use a prediction service to load pages quickly. Prepared myself to face slow loading, extra typing, etc rather than having disgusting unwanted junk...in my case in India - Bollywood crap.
setting "show popular sites"...... to DISABLED, did not fix anything for me. suggested articles are still here.
but i find another solution!!!
TESTED SOLUTION FOUND BY ME.
go to the "show server-side suggestions on the new tab page"
and set it to DISABLED.
that's all, now when you swipe up you will no more see Suggested Contents , but only an odd square image with a blue tree on a blue meadow XD XD
THANKS ME if it works for you, so also other people can understand if my solution is completely working (tested on chrome play store of 4 september, the latest till today)
