[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Coug76:
Since you flashed 4.3 via Odin you can't go back to 4.1.2 via Odin without issues. The 4.3 bootloader sticks like something that is really really stuck.

Do a wipe like advised above and reboot (as above). Since you have the bootloader you will good Wi-Fi. Make certain your modem is correct for your device model (MK7 is right for T889). Wipe cache and dalvik, then reboot and let sit untouched for 10 minutes, reboot. Check for signal.

BTW who is your carrier? You may need to check that your APNs are correct.

I just bought a O2 XDA EXEC (HTC universal) from ebay. The seller said it's unlocked. The problem is that I can't use my cingular sim card to make phone call. I can use my tmobile sim to make phone call. Anyone has idea about this? Thanks
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] DavidT.:
I'm using my Exec with Cingular, it works fine. However, what state do you live in? Exec does not have the 850 band; depending on your location it may not work with Cingular because Cingular uses 850 only in some states.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] klanum:
I thought it would work for me on Cingular as well but turns out they use the 850 freq the most in my area. Could pick up the 1900 on the highways/city but a mile or two from that, it would drop. I ended up buying a T-Mobile SIM card on ebay with 150 minutes for $9 and it seems to be working well. Evidently the 1900 is the main freq for T-mobile in my area and they use the 850 Cingular towers as back up.

Guess you mileage may vary where you are at too!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spaceman4572:
I'm trying to root my Verizon Note 3 by following the sticky http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2484231 Its been tricky because some of the pages have been edited, outdated, lacking new info from edits. Most of that was fairly easy to deal with.

The main issue is that I cannot see the .tar.md5 files at all. I uninstalled winRAR and installed 7zip. Ran 7zip as a admin. Ran Odin as an admin. and redownloaded the necessary files. However, I still cannot see the tar files. Is there something I'm missing?

If this screenshot isnt helpful I can take more.

I don't know if this is right place to do this question. If not I ask you forgiveness.

I'd want to know what LTE frequencies are really supported by this phone

seems that are 3 version K, S and L

Some store reports generically SHV-E120 supports LTE 800, 1800 and 2600 MHz

Some others reports K version supports 1800Mhz ; S supports 850Mhz; L 850Mhz too

Anyone can explain me better?

I didn't see this readily available and with many people not wanting to root and trip their Knox counter, I thought I'd show you how to get adblocking without root. This will work on both wifi and mobile data.

--First step would be to install Adblock Plus APK. I got mine from: https://adblockplus.org/en/android-install

--After installing, run the app once and activate filtering. It should now be blocking all ads on wifi only. To enable adblock on mobile data you need to add a proxy to your APN.

--Go to system settings>network connections>more networks>mobile networks>access point names. What you need to do now is go to you default APN and copy down all the settings. We only do this because you cannot edit the original APN it seems. Now create a new APN and enter in the copied settings. The only additional settings you add to add to the new APN is:

---Proxy: localhost

---Port: 2020

Make sure you set the new APN you created as active and adblocking should be working! I have done this on my T-mobile S5. Hopefully some of you will find this useful.
[Galaxy S 5 General] giftedgiggsy11:

I cant add the new APN on a Verizon galaxy s5, does anyone know how?
[Galaxy S 5 General] phazey12:
I have since rooted my phone so I forget. I think you might have to add a proxy to every connection you use
[Galaxy S 5 General] phazey12:
I don't believe you can adblock on the Verizon S5. My friend had one and I couldn't get it working on his device
[Galaxy S 5 General] phazey12:
Hmm, it for sure works on AT&T. Did you add the proxy settings to the new APN?
[Galaxy S 5 General] BigBlue007:
I'm wondering if anyone else has the following, more common issue with AdBlock:

Whenever I use it (no matter on which device), I'm experiencing lots of connectivity issues. Examples are connection drops in Playstore or Youtube, but also in several 3rd party apps. Whenever it happens, it works again right away when I hit Retry/Reconnect or whatever button the app offers, but it's still very annoying.

The issue is clearly with Adblock, because this stops happening immediately once I disable the proxy in WLAN settings.
[Galaxy S 5 General] ewa12321:
Im started to having same issues too. Apps can't see internet connection. Deleting Adblock settings solves it, sadly again tons of ads

adblock plus is working better and receive a great reception from community imo. if you have your device rooted, it even works out of box. with advanish pro, you can use Google to download the apk though, i'm afraid its development is discontinued.

youtube is not working for me if i use adp. Also is not stopping ads in MX Player. Other than that seems to be ok, but i had to uninstall it.

Best solution i found was using hosts file to block ads, but that requires root.
[Galaxy S 5 General] simacca:
Ended up installing adblock plus just to block ads on wifi, but it doesn't seem to work on appy geek which is one of my most used apps. Can anyone tell me how I can get it to work on this app? Also noticed it doesn't work with IMDb or the speedtest app.

Have just noticed that I can't post comments on the Facebook app with WiFi enabled. Seems to be causing more problems than its worth. Will most probably uninstall it.

in this case i would recommend you to use adfree bcoz it allows you to add white/black list host. but it is just for rooted device. if you're on a non-rooted device, i'm afraid adblock-plus is the only one game in town.

Helo.

I have an ATT LG G2 and I came across this thread. I know it's for the S5, but blocking ads is software-related, so I ask.

I use an app from yahoo, called Yahoo Fantasy sports. In that app, there is a banner of ads that sits smack up top (see screenshot).

I have installed the Min Min guard xposed module, and I see in my hosts file that I have a bunch of hosts with 127.0.0.1.

I added the proxy to my new APN, but I did not install adblock as in the OP since my hosts file appears to be populated correctly.

At present I cannot connect using mobile data to the internet. In Chrome, I am told "unable to connect to the proxy server", and no other apps connect to their servers. I switched back to the original APN, and data works fine.

Does anyone have any suggestions? There are plenty of threads stating that it did work.

Mobile data adblock not working on HTC One (M7) Sprint

Hi all,

Evidently I don't have access to Access Point Names on my phone. I have an HTC One (M7) on Sprint running Android 4.4.2. When I go to Settings>WiFi and Networks>Mobile Data, I see that "Access Point Names" is greyed out. Does this mean that Adblock won't work for Mobile data on this phone/Android version/Sprint?

I've set Adblock up on my WiFi connections and it seems to work fine. I just can't make it work when I'm using Mobile Data.

Thanks for any help.

Adblock Plus is required because it is the proxy server, you have to install it. Without it the settings are useless and disable your ability to use the internet.

Oh, the joy!! I installed Ad Block Plus on my Xperia M2 (KK 4.4.4), I went straight into the APN settings of my network operator, added localhost and port 2020. Bang!! No more battery sucking invasive ads!! :laugh: :victory: :good:

Hi,

I have Z3c and I used adblock plus, but i have to disinstall it because of facebook... and some other problem of connection.

The problem that I have is that some app (facebook and gmail and others) works well for a small time (two minutes?) and then it not works ...

Facebook not download pictures, comments... not allow you to "like" or dislike somethings...

You have to disconnect from wifi and reconnect. After this it works for some minutes... and then, the problem come back.

Gmail seems to have the same problem... not download the email, if you disconnect/reconnect wifi ... it works well for a while... then the problem come back.

It seems a problem with "proxy" in adblock code (?)

You did not have this problem ?

It works by stoppingg your data connection while using the app so ads can't come through.

Which means New notifications also get blocked.

Ad blocking when my cell provider requires me to configure Access Points on my phone

I've tried to get ad blocking working with ABP and Ad-Guard. But both apps work well when on WiFi but not at all via my cell data connection. I have a non-rooted Samsung Galaxy S4 running Chrome.

Please see the attached three screenshots. These are the settings on my phone that I must use for my cell provider.

When I am on my mobile data connection I get this when trying to access an HTTP webpage:

The request is not understood.

Technical description:

400 Bad Request - Check your spelling for the requested URL.​

And this for an HTTPS page:

SSL connection error

Hide details

Unable to make a secure connection to the server. This may be a problem with the server, or it may be requiring a client authentication certificate that you don't have.

Error code: ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR​

Is there a way to get either of these apps (or something else) to accommodate my phone's settings?

I've posted to both apps' forums, as well:

There are websites that this method breaks - one in particular thinks I've disabled cookies when I use this. Also, I couldn't share a video from the TED app to facebook until I disabled ABP. It also wasn't blocking ads in some aps eg File Manager HD.

I've had to uninstall it. I don't want to root my S4 (GT-I9507) as there are certain apps I want that won't work on a rooted device. :(

I only have ABP on my WIFI settings, because on Sprint the AP for mobile is grayed out.

I wrote down what my previous "port" was, but not my previous/stock "proxy host name"...? Will this be a problem?

What I did to install ABP on my wifi.....

Settings

Network connections

Wi-fi

Long pressed on my home network

Modify Network Config

Show advanced options

Under PROXY it says "manual" I can't remember did i change it from "none" to "manual".....?

Proxy Host Name......i have typed in "localhost"

Proxy Port......I have 2020

Like I said, I have my old "port" written down, but NOT my old proxy host name (I could have sworn it was localhost also but idk for sure???)

I am on Sprint, could some one please explain how I can safely uninstall ABP properly. I have read that if you don't change your settings BACK to stock properly ABP wont unistall properly, or you may have problems

Am I screwed?

[Galaxy S 5 General] Starphish:
Yes, you don't want proxy, etc. The easiest way to back out of all the changes is to "forget network". That will delete the settings associated with that wifi connection. After doing that, turn off wifi (let 3g/4g connect), and then turn back on wifi, locate your wifi AP, and log in again. It should be just like new at that point.
[Galaxy S 5 General] andrewNY:
This is working so far on my new Galaxy S6 on T-Mobile. Ads are blocked on both Wifi and cell data, without needing to root. (I was wary of rooting and tripping Knox before knowing if the upcoming Samsung Pay would refuse to run on a rooted device)

I'll update after running it for a while to let people know about reliability.
