galaxy s6 working w/ mobile data

Working on my att s6. Initially i didn't have the 'name' and 'apn name' the exact same thinking those didn't really matter. Once i changed them to match exactly, it started working over mobile data.
[Galaxy S 5 General] steelersmb:
For those of you on Verizon, try Adguard - http://adguard.com/en/welcome.html. I just tried it on my Galaxy S6 on Verizon and it works! You do have to pay for the premium version but I took a chance and it works great!
[Galaxy S 5 General] jayesh:
For me the answer is simple. I am using firefox with bluhell firewall. ( firefox plug aka mobile firefox also supports all plugins)

No more ads.

can comfirm that this workes on 920F model on both LTE and WIFI :)
[Galaxy S 5 General] Hydranix:
Works on MetroPCS Alacatel OneTouch Fierce 2 (unrootable).

Had to clone the APN (which I did previously to mess with a few things)

Installed AdBlockPlus, started proxy up, reconfigured my modified APN to pass traffic through proxy. Works well.
[Galaxy S 5 General] gtg465x:
Meh, technically works on my Galaxy S6, but it makes pages load much slower and blocks some images on sites that are not ads. Uninstalling.

[Galaxy S 5 General] jason-tech-uk:
Ahh yeah my bad! I was trying to think of a way to style that one out. I mean if you watch animefreaks there are the same sort of adds as well.

So either way I would love to stop any ADs!

I was using AdFree on my Rooted Note 2 but was looking for another solution which works without rooting my S6 Edge... Tried this and this is working without any issues.
[Galaxy S 5 General] jcodde:
Adguard works on an unrooted phone too.
[Galaxy S 5 General] hellobye80:
One thing though... I am not sure if its safe using banking apps while using adblock? I mean by setting up proxy you are send all data via a proxy app that can sniff data... Think about it :confused:

Out of all your guys apps/opinions and whatnot, what would be good for stopping popup adds through apps like news apps and others alike? I'm asking for my Dad because he had a rooted S4 with some great stuff in the ROM to do this, but now he's got an S6 that's not rooted and would like something to dismiss ads via his news apps like Fox, CNN etc... Thanks again FAM!

Same here. Haven't updated to Lollipop yet, based on the pretty shady feedback I've seen on it (and I'm still holding on to an irrational hope KK might maybe, somehow get a real root), don't know if that's any more agreeable?
[Galaxy S 5 General] i_pk_pjers_i:
Well damn, this would have been good to know before I rooted...
[Galaxy S 5 General] *Detection*:
Rooted adblocking is much more effective, and doesn't cause connection issues like this can

If rooted use adblock as this method is known to block internet for many sites and apps.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Bulletinabluesky:
On the site for version 1.3 its says "Adblock Plus for Android only works via Wi-Fi "

Did an older version also work on mobile?

Setup the proxy on the Wifi and mobile apn and Adblock Plus is not working on mobile, apps just use mobile data to download ads when connected to Wifi , if you switch the mobile data off they can't download ads.

I'm on stock 4.42 Note 3 9005

Sadly not as yet, wish I could root my phone and just load Adaway which works perfectly
[Galaxy S 5 General] Rvl7:
Wow... try it..
[Galaxy S 5 General] rajaakahel:
Hello! Please it didn't work for me. BTW I don't have a WiFi connection. I only use mobile data. The settings as you see in the attachments. I edited the original settings, but when I open chrome I still get ton of ads. And adblock plus says: waiting for traffic on port 2020. Please any suggestions? (Without rooting)

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S 5 General] vader20:
Those are the settings! You should try enabling/disabling adblock from within app and also try a reboot. I found out that the ads are blocked for a little while but then they reappear :(

So root and adaway seems to be the only valid option when it comes to ads.

I use firefox with ublock origin and i'm ok on the internet but within apps ... holy ship :what:
[Galaxy S 5 General] tbmoc96:
love adblock plus on PC for a very long time and now it's available and works well on android. Tks for ur helpful knowledge!
[Galaxy S 5 General] dwallersv:
I've been rooted from day one (many years) using Adaway until this damn VZW S6 edge. It's unrootable at the moment.

Just installed Adguard, and it works perfectly. Blocking ads in browsers and also apps. It has a 30-day fully functional trial (make sure you walk through the tutorial -- the trial is at the end, and I couldn't find any way to access and activate it if I skipped the tutorial), so you can give it a test drive before forking over US ten bucks for a year license.

When my trial ends, if it's performed as it has so far, I'll be paying.
[Galaxy S 5 General] rajaakahel:
Well I don't want to root my device. I think the best option is to leave Chrome and go for Firefox with adblock plus add-on..
[Galaxy S 5 General] alien_jiggy:

Tried with my HTC One M8 Android 6 with Telekom (Germany) APN. Chrome Browser

Not working ):

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S 5 General] usarak:
This is pretty good tutorial altough I don't recommend this method. It works but Adblock is known to be a heavy battery and data hog. I recommend using NoChromo, which is a Chrome with built in Adblocker. Give it a try, it's very efficient in terms of battery life and it works a lot faster than standard Chrome.
[Galaxy S 5 General] :
Maybe (and just maybe) if you wait a little more there will be some ad blocking support in Chrome. Its just a hunch, but Safari on iOS can block ads for a while now, so maybe Chrome will take the fight to them. I also hope it will pay to be lazy, since I also have a device I don't intend to root only for ad blocking support in Chrome.

(I know that there is an AdBlock app, but that has limitations without root, and Firefox has plugin support, but I need it in Chrome:) )
[Galaxy S 5 General] bloodymiko:
i tried both adguard and adblock plus simultaneously as i installed both at the same time but it did not block out ads in apps. works well for browser though.....

had followed adblock plus to change settings in wifi but not mobile as not too sure how to go about changing APN.....

so tested it while on wifi.....

really new to this as this is first time trying as the ads is really getting atrocious.....

kept using mobile data non-stop even when I am constantly on wifi....

using s4 shv-e330s and note 2 shv-e250s

if can work will try on s4 shv-e300L and Note 2 shv-e250L

[Galaxy S 5 General] MSK1:
I would also like to know what stops ads in apps and pop ups.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Cheesethief:
That's more in the realm of Adaway and other root required adblockers.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Rakuu:
You can set up an ad filtering proxy and set your system proxy to that, dd-wrt(router firmware) for example has this feature.

Yes, there are another games such as :Frontline 2 (that's free if i'm not mistaken), PvZ2, Real Racing 3, FIFA 14 etc etc...

What rom/kernel you using? I want to try that since I already voided my warranty a month after I bought the phone and the shi**y Uncle Sammy ( :D ) wasn't gonna take responsibility for he's problems...

OK I've tried that game, front line 2, for about 10 minutes. Got bored with it tbh. So moved onto playing asphalt 8 then pvz2 for a good half hour.

Now the screen does get warm/hot but not so that I can't touch it. I noticed zero lag.

It is possible that as I'm using a custom kernel that has had the governor settings altered that this has under clocked/volted my phone so it's less noticeable than yours. Of course this is a balancing act if you under clock it too much it could lag. If you over it it'll heat up too much.

im sorry, but those files are unique to each phone, each one is different. It is not something you can download. Best thing to try is tot back to 100% stock, then hope he has insurance on the phone and take it to a repair center, once they determine it cant be fixed, they will order a replacement (or give you one), if he doesnt have insurance, hope its under warranty and do a RMA to LG

I'm sorry to hear about your predicament. When you rooted your phone did you use ioroot? What version were you on when you rooted i.e. Jelly Bean, Kit Kat, etc.?
[G2 General] LoveistheGroove:
I was on KK. Used AutoRec for TWRP.
[G2 General] OfficialPerson:
Autorec and twrp are different then ioroot which is rooting. But since you were on KK then I'm pretty

sure when you rooted it didn't automatically backup your EFS files. When you go into settings to where

it say PRL, IMEI, MEID, etc. does it say unknown for all of them? Or do some of they have numbers and

stuff?
[G2 General] LoveistheGroove:
I used iroot and all of those are blank or unknown :(

Is it really that easy to permanently ruin a phone? Wow.

I'm sure it is, I just can't believe it's impossible to fix.
[G2 General] OfficialPerson:
Hmm ok and yeah things can go down south very easily which is why they put

warnings all the time but people (including myself) usually take them lightly lol.

However it may not be permanently ruined I read a post a couple days ago about

someone taking the optimus g and writing the prl imei and other info himself with

certain programs. He mentioned ways to get those numbers for your specific phone

I'm not exactly sure if it'll work but it may be your only option at this point. I'm going

to see if I can find the post again and put the link here. This is a pretty advanced

process though I've never done it myself so don't really know that much about it.

If anything though are you insured?
