Rien ne vas plus

Edit2: Guys, please help me out here! I get no internet connection with any application, be it over mobile network or wifi. I tried reinstalling AdAway via usb but whatever option I choose, it doesn't enable the internet. I am really out of Ideas and would appreciate if you could take the time to help me out. J.

Hey everyone,

I have installed AdAway and it seems to work fine for mobile internet. But when I try to use any wifi, websites (and the play store downlads etc. ) start loading with a delay of 10-15 seconds, sometimes longer. Whatsapp messages only get to me every few minutes.

Once the delay is over, the internet is fast as usual, about 100 mbit/sec. I thought about it being a DNS problem but it occurs on different wifi networks with different providers and never on mobile networks. I'm not sure if that qualifies as a dns problem. When using mobile network, the internet responds nearly immediately.

Also, if I enable the local server, it shows "running" only so long as I don't minimize the app. If I bring it back up it shows "not running" again

The facts:

Oneplus Two, rooted with Oxygen OS 3 (Android 6.0.1)

Xprivacy, Adaway, AFWall+ installed

Disabling xprivacy and AFWall+ does not help resolving the problem.

I was a bit discouraged by reading 600+ pages of forum and the wiki does not cover any of the problems. So I hope you don't mind me asking here.

Edit: Alright, now I uninstalled AdAway and my internet stopped working completely. Restart didn't help. No incoming/outgoing wifi traffic. Dafuq?

How to uninstall this?

Can anyone please answer this questions?
[Android Apps and Games] osm0sis:
First of all, learn how to wait longer than 10 minutes when you ask a question. You could also try searching first, since you'd probably have found your answer more quickly.

Now, from within the app, hit Disable to restore the default hosts file, then uninstall the app normally. If you are using the systemless root workaround then also delete the su.d script from /su/su.d/.
[Android Apps and Games] Blue305:
Thank you very much, and yes, I'm aware of that.. The thing is that I'm gonna leave the house in 20 mins and I won't have internet connection for the next day and I really need my mobile data :(

Sorry and thanks again mate, really appreciate it. Hopefully it will work .

Did that but my mobile data still not working :(

I'm desperate and I don't know what to do...
[Android Apps and Games] androcraze:
AdAway shouldn't be causing data issues....

Have you verified your APN? Check your provider's website and verify that the recommended APN setting are actually what you have on your phone.

APN settings can change, and it's impossible for ROMs to keep up with those changes "on the fly".

If that doesn't help and assuming that you are using a clean installation of the version of Adaway from the OP of this thread (as opposed to one from Fdroid or one that is baked into the ROM), and that the one from this thread was not installed on top of one of the other ones, and that PlayStore works in exactly the same circumstances without Adaway, and that there is no firewall involved (at least while troubleshooting) ... I would suggest the following:

- Use the most minimal hosts list available. I recommend the one from adaway.org. With this one I've never had a problem with Playstore and Adaway.

- If the previous does not work or if you have an established hosts file that you've built over time and don't want to reset, use the DNS Request Logging feature to determine which domains required by PlayStore are being being blocked and whitelist any such items.
[Android Apps and Games] piccit:
Can we stop implying that the fdroid version is somehow inferior. As was explained before, they just compile from source. And AdAway is open source.

Assuming all the code that goes into this "thread version" has been pulled, fdroid is up to date. (which it is, based on the fact that it updated shortly after the last update here).

It would be better to just suggest that users ensure that their version is up to date (probably a biggest issue for built-in-rom versions since there is no update mechanism)
[Android Apps and Games] githyanki:
The version from this thread is what is supported in this thread. If you are using the version given, it makes sure that everyone is on the same page and we are all talking about the same thing.

If you wish to use a different version, contact the developer of that version for support. MrRobinson has made some changes to the code so asking different developers to support different branches is not reasonable.

can someone reupload the systemless hosts file? for some reason androidfilehost isnt working
[Android Apps and Games] ThePeerlessFennecFox:
Please help me out if you can.

Hello xda team,

I have asked this question before but I got no reaction whatsoever. Could you please help me out here? I am out of options.

A few days ago I installed AdAway (via F-Droid) to increase mobile surfing speed. Then I got the problem that while using Wifi, suddenly every app had a 10-15 seconds delay before actually starting to download/ starting to load the web page etc. Once "getting a firm grip" on the connection, the download speed was fine as usual (120 mbit/s). This problem did occur on every app while using wifi, but not while using mobile internet.

So I uninstalled AdAway. Now no application can access the internet. Regardless of wifi or mobile internet, no application managed to access the internet since the deinstallation.

The only host files in the /etc/host folder seems to be the localhost on "127.0.0.1" and another localhost with "::1" . At least that's what the Hosts Editor app said. I installed it via USB to check on the host file.

My system:

Oneplus Two, Oxygen OS 3 (Android 6.0.1), rooted

installed were AFWall+ and Xprivacy. I deactivated, then deinstalled them to make sure they won't interfere. The only other App I installed recently is Cerberus. Except for devouring my battery alive, it did not have any negative effects I could observe.

Please help me out, I don't know what to do anymore.

Cheers, the peerless fennec fox.

I said nothing critical of the FDroid version of Adaway. I did however cover a scenario (as one of several potential scenarios) where the Adaway version from this thread may fail to work properly if installed on top of one from Fdroid or one that is baked into ROM, as well as covering the possibility that an older version of Adaway was being used (wherever it was from), and the possibility that an established hosts file was being used in a functional version of Adaway (wherever it was from ) and just needed to have some items added to white-lists. My reply covered multiple possible scenarios... and seems to have worked in one shot.

This too is one of the reasons my reply was constructed as it was: It helps if the person who having the problem and the person assisting are seeing the exact same thing (or as similar as possible) on their respective devices.

Android File hosts seems to be coming back up. ATM there are long waits to find mirrors and generally sluggish performance, but better than the "...under maintenance..." page from a short while ago, and I was able to download the AdAway_systemless_hosts_v2.zip file.

"You can get good question/response support from the AdAway XDA Thread."

I see the XDA forum is actively used. But noone bothers to give any reaction to my questions and cry for help. Would you please tell me if I'm looking in the wrong forum or if my problem is so ridicoulously easy to solve that noone bothers writing a one-liner?

I would really appreciate to get

some

reaction. Prefereably someone who does at least point me into the right direction.

I already posted in XDA assist. They moved it to the Oneplus forum. There it sits now and noone wants do deal with it. Do I need to pm someone so they actually help? I don't know what I'm doing wrong. The official adaway page links to this thread and claims "You can get good question/response support from the AdAway XDA Thread."

Where can I post my problem so that you actually help me? I hate to be whiny but it's frustrating for me.

[Android Apps and Games] androcraze:
AdAway shouldn't affect Data in any way. All it does is modify the hosts file. Once you revert the file back AND REBOOT, things should be as they were.

Verify your APN Settings. Check the APN Settings against what your carrier has recommended on it's web page. APNs can change, and ROMs can't always keep up. Things have to be EXACT sometimes, e. g., my carrier requires "APN type: default,mms,supl". I put spaces after the commas, "APN type: default, mms, supl", and couldn't get things working correctly.

Do a search for "proxy" in this thread. You could have an issue with that.
[Android Apps and Games] ThePeerlessFennecFox:
Thank you for your reply. I did reboot my phone after every change I made. I will check out the APN settings now, thanks for that. But why is mobile internet as affected as my Wifi internet?
[Android Apps and Games] xdarthanonx:
I think it's unlikely to be an AdAway issue, but anyway... Do you still have phone signal? (If not, you're probably in Airplane mode.)
[Android Apps and Games] ThePeerlessFennecFox:
I do have phone signal and I am definitely not in airplane mode. However, my APN seems broken, the list does not show what it usually does. I made you a screenshot:

[IMG="Screenshot"]http://s33.postimg.org/cpnhqb50v/Screenshot_20160526_184120.png[/IMG]

I disabled and uninstalled Xprivacy and AFWall+ to make sure they dont interfere. Still, mobile internet is as affected as wifi.
[Android Apps and Games] androcraze:
I'm suspecting something on your phone is doing something it shouldn't be, and it's causing a conflict. I don't think it's AdAway.

Chrome has some caching features that can cause headaches. you can do a search on "chrome" in this thread to figure out what to disable.

Proxies can create headaches as well.

You can help with more info.... Phone model, ROM, Android version, Browser, etc.

More Info

So I uninstalled AdAway. Now no application can access the internet. Regardless of wifi or mobile internet, no application managed to access the internet since the deinstallation.

The only host files in the /etc/host folder seems to be the localhost on "127.0.0.1" and another localhost with "::1" . At least that's what the Hosts Editor app said. I installed it via USB to check on the host file.

My system:

Oneplus Two, Oxygen OS 3 (Android 6.0.1), rooted

Installed were AFWall+ and Xprivacy. I deactivated, then deinstalled them to make sure they won't interfere.

The only other App I installed recently is Cerberus. Except for devouring my battery alive, it did not have any negative effects I could observe.

There are no proxies installed. In fact, the only thing that I did prior to all my internet breaking down was uninstalling AdAway. I uninstalled, rebooted, no internet since.

The Internet problem does not only affect the Chrome browser or browsers in general. It affects every application installed on the Phone, on wifi and on mobile Network.

I found a tutorial of how to find and delete the hosts file (http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2717261) . I used my ES File explorer with root options for that. It was stated that android would rebuild the missing file on reboot. That was not the case. Now in /system/etc there is no "hosts" file and my Internet still does not work. I found a host file that someone else posted a while ago and pasted it into the folder. Nothing happened.

I rebooted after every single one of these steps.

Now that I wrote you the Info again, I realized that I didn't try to disable Cerberus. I don't know why Uninstalling Adaway triggered the internet problem but Cerberus seems to have been the cause. Cerberus was installed since 2 weeks and never made problems.

Thank you very much for your time and patience.
[Android Apps and Games] Spannaa:
Are you using OxygenOS 3.0 in dark mode?

If so, switch to light mode and your APN will appear - it's a theme bug in the first beta that's been fixed in the second 3.0.1 beta.
[Android Apps and Games] xdarthanonx:
You should be able to get the APN from your mobile network operator's website.
[Android Apps and Games] ThePeerlessFennecFox:
^^ thank you! This did the trick.

My problem is solved however.

Now that I wrote you the Info again, I realized that I didn't try to disable Cerberus yet. I don't know why Uninstalling Adaway triggered the internet problem but Cerberus seems to have been the cause. Cerberus was installed since 2 weeks and never made problems. Maybe that was just a very nasty coincidence or very bad timing.

However, thank you very much for your time and patience.

God, now superSU, Xposed, BusyBox etc. tell me my phone is unrooted. How the hell did that happen? Alright. Google will be my saviour. All this seems so unrelated to each other though. Propably androids way to tell me it doesn't like me.
[Android Apps and Games] xdarthanonx:
Make sure you deactivate Cerberus from Device Administrators before uninstalling.
[Android Apps and Games] androcraze:
No, they're related. Cerberus probably doesn't play nice with everything, or its users need to be aware of what it's actually modifying.
[Android Apps and Games] ThePeerlessFennecFox:
Well, if you install Cerberus as a root user you can decide to install it with root rights. Makes remote wiping easier. It's buried pretty deep into the system from that moment on. It doesn't tell you all the technical details. Most users, including me, are not that experienced with the gears behind the UI. I figured that Cerberus didn't like Adaway tinkering with the system partition when I deactivated it. AdAway tried to restore my original host file after all. Maybe it decided to lock a potential remote attacker out by disabling all incoming connections. Who knows.

I don't like doing this eventually, but I think it's best to nuke it now, to prevent further bugs. I need my phone to be reliable and I can't have it break down in a few days, just because I fixed it half-heartedly.

I have one question though: If I reinstall my Oxy 3.0.1 Beta, I would like to encrypt it. Can I still use my fingerprint to unlock/wake up the phone, or do I have to enter the pw everytime?
[Android Apps and Games] Namoi:
Your last question is absolutely not related to adaway and to be honest, if you are so concerned with security you shouldn't have rooted your phone IMHO.
[Android Apps and Games] githyanki:
You would be able to unlock/wake up phone with your fingerprint, you would only need password when booting or after a timeout (possibly)

I have tried wiping the cache and app data and uninstalling/reinstalling the app but I can't get AdAway to work on my Nexus 9. It installs fine, applys updates fine but on reboot it is disabled. It works great on my phone, but I cannot figure out why it won't work on the tablet. I read through several pages of this thread and didn't see anything similar but I might have missed something. Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] osm0sis:
Do you have busybox installed? If so, where? Installing it to /su/bin is known to cause problems like this since it's equivalent to /system/bin; I recommend flashing my busybox installer which will clean that up and then install to /su/xbin instead.

Failing all that, the only other thing that comes to mind is an issue with the app libraries due to the N9 being x64.
[Android Apps and Games] drewski_1:
FWIW it's working fine on my x64 5x (w/ Busybox in /su/xbin)
[Android Apps and Games] PieceKeepr:
I tried your Busybox installer but I got the same result. AdAway gets disabled on reboot. I guess I'll have to hope they look into it soon. I'll post on the official bug page too.

DU already provides all the host files/updates you need. AdAway is being replaced by rom features when you reboot. You shouldn't need adaway w/ DU.

Does anyone know if blocking ads affects Google Hangouts incoming and outgoing calls? Sometimes Hangouts fails to connect when receiving calls and takes a while to connect on outgoing.

Nope.

So, adblock is not to blame.

[Android Apps and Games] BaronKrause:
How well does AdAway handle unrooting/rerooting?

I usually keep my phone unrooted to allow certain apps/games that have root checks to run, and once a month reroot after applying the monthly Nexus incremental updates to run Titanium backup before unrooting again.

Titanium backup can be a bit of a pain to get Root rights back after reinstalling SuperSU, it seems almost random when it finally notices that SuperSu is back and will reprompt you to give it root access. ESFile manager never seems to notice that SuperSU is reinstalled (must only check at its initial run after install).

How are people's experiences with AdAway and unrooting/rerooting? Ideally id like to update the Host file once a month but if it won't handle that environment well I might have to look to something less efficient but non root requiring like AdGuard.
[Android Apps and Games] sansnil:
From my experience it's very tolerant. Just wouldn't be able to update the hosts file when unrooted but the core functionality doesn't depend root... One of the many beautiful things about AdAway.
[Android Apps and Games] Namoi:
That is true, but you don't have control of which list is used and from my experiences it fails to block ads on some sites.

If one want to use adaway on DU some files need to be removed and of course the internal adblocker must be disabled. The DU faq pined on their G+, or their site explains what must be done.
[Android Apps and Games] cesko69:
Adaway doesn't blocked pop-ups or do I do something bad ?
[Android Apps and Games] githyanki:
I can't answer the second part, but it doesn't block everything. Some slip by, and some are hard coded into apps.

Reboot, then open AdAway and see if it says "Enabled"
[Android Apps and Games] PieceKeepr:
I didn't see those instructions but I will look again. Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] cm2003:
I've got the same issue on my s7 edge stock rom with root.

When restarting my phone (for example because of a new xposed module) adds aren't blocked anymore. When starting ad away its telling me that my hosts file is up to date. Still it doesn't block any adds, until I download the hosts file again.

Hi, thanks for developing this great app.

I use nothing but AdAway to block ads but it started to make big troubles to me ever since I upgraded to 6.0.1 (Galaxy S6). Ads are still allowed through no matter what I do and I don't know why.

Things I tried (individually) and failed:

- Used MoaAB host source

- Changed "Target hosts file" location to /data/hosts

- Flashed AdAway_systemless_hosts_v2.zip

- Reverted to system-mode root

In all situations, ads still slip through even though I made sure that the hosts file actually contain the hostname of the ads that appear. It seems that the system just bypass the hosts file altogether.

Any help? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Ultramanoid:
It's not a good idea to use that MoaAB file.

Have you checked if you are connecting through a proxy, or using any of those 'data saver' modes from a browser; Opera, Chrome, etc ?

Have you checked your APN settings to see if your carrier or ISP is overpassing your local hosts file ?

Check the thread for more issues that could cause this problem, basically AdAway just puts the hosts file in place, but if your system doesn't use it, it's on you to figure out why.

Sorry if this question it been asked before, but I use IMDB app to watch movie trailers ,but IMDB player is killing me with all ads on the player. Is AdAway for Android block ads on IMDB app player? if not any other? Thanks
