v2.10.176

Hello everyone! The last release candidate went to the release channel yesterday!

A somewhat "unexpected" AdGuard for Android update — much smaller than a usual one. It contains a couple of hotfixes, which were basically the reason to release this version, alongside several quality of life improvements like separate WiFi/Mobile statistics in "Apps Management".

[Added] Separate Wi-Fi/Mobile stats #1542

Here we introduce one 'visual' change: separate Wi-Fi/Mobile stats on the 'Apps Management' screen. There's now a drop-down menu on the statistics screen that allows you to choose between displaying stats for Wi-Fi, Mobile or all traffic.

[Fixed] Wakelock (caused by GCM_RECONNECT) prevents devices from sleeping #1547

A self-explanatory one. There was an annoying bug with "Wakelock" that prevented the device from entering sleeping mode.

Other

[Added] Danish Adblock list filter #1523

[Changed] Translations for 'Advanced settings' screen have been updated #1507

[Fixed] Protection is restarted when you open HTTPS filtering menu #1605

[Fixed] Crash in Amazon version #1608

[Fixed] Compatibility issues

How to get this version

Apk is available here in the Downloads section

Available in XDA Labs app

Google Wi-Fi Assistant cannot create it's VPN with AdGuard enabled (auto-proxy). I'm guessing it's because it uses it's own proxy through the VPN.

Using the latest version on a pixel 2 running the 8.1.0 beta. The option to display notification without icon does not remove the status bar icon. Just got this phone. Updated to 8.1.0 before installing. Haven't had any issues on my previous phone running custom 8.0.0 ROMs. Guessing Google may have changed something with notification handling. Is this a known issue?
[Android Apps and Games] superleeds27:
Same issue here actually.
[Android Apps and Games] doublej713:
Looking at various other apps it looks like some provide more notification options such as being able to select a priority level. Selecting low priority results in notifications without icons. That option does not show up for adguard. Must be a new API for notification handling.

Awesome, thanks for the link. There was a fix there that appears to be working!

Disabling/reenabling/rebooting thing? That was so cumbersome that I didn't even try it:)

I hope they'll fix it in DP3.

This is what I'm getting every time in my contacts app
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Please check the "contacts app" details in the apps mgmt section, attach a screenshot of it if possible.

I need to see what's its package name so that we could exclude it from filtering by default.
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
After updating to 8.1 on my Pixel 2 XL, the "Notification without Icon" now shows the icon. Initially I figured it was a general 8.1 bug or something, but other apps that I have that employ similar behavior (notification without an icon on the bar) are still working ok (for example, Light Flow).

The only troubleshooting I did was to change the option (to none) and then change it back. Same result.

Thanks in advance.

Edit: So I figured out a workaround (no idea if it's temp or perm)... I disabled app notifications for Adguard in system settings, then turned it back on. Result was no icon and no notification. Then I disabled Adguard via the QS Tile, then re-enabled it. Result: Normal (notification without icon).

I'll follow up later to confirm whether or not the "fix" lasts through reboots and such.
[Android Apps and Games] Bill Gamble:
Wow, I don't know why that works, but it sure seems to. Even after a reboot, adguard is doing its job and still no notification icon.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Yesterday they have clarified that this new behavior is intended.

Bug report:

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/69842394

It is now unclear how to have a collapsed notification on Android 8.1.
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
Hi there. Just attempted to setup Wifi Calling on my Pixel 2 XL (Android 8.1, on Verizon). It works fine if Adguard is disabled, but not if Adguard is enabled. I get a generic "No response, timeout" error in the phone app.

I searched a bit and saw that I may need to add an exclusion in the Low Level settings. Could you let me know how I need to test to get meaningful information to correct this? Is there an alternative way I can exclude phone/calls in general (non carrier specific)?

Edit: Or maybe it is this: https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForAndroid/issues/1469 (previously announced as fixed but seems to maybe not be)
[Android Apps and Games] flipmode_11:
Hello Babylon and AdGuard Team,

Please split the data, so that when ALL is dissipated, you overlay both Wi-Fi and Data graphs (e.g. Green & Blue line on same graph). This would be better so you can see both Wi-Fi and mobile consumption without having to click 3 times.

Example (up ^ / down v / saved ¤)

Data for Period: 257 MB ^ 1,621 MB v (¤ 255 MB)
Wi-Fi for Period: 25,678 MB ^ 2,987 MB v (¤ 627 MB)
Traffic for Period: 25,985 MB ^ 4,608 MB v (¤ 982 MB)

If it just showed that, you could remove the drop-down menu, then have a graph with both overlayed, then if you click a line (radio button etc) it could show one graph in books, or hide the other inactive graph).

I hope this important feature can be really improved! :)

Cheers guys!

Eh? Why does it need to change location???

I not aware of permitting internet access to my Galaxy Dialer or Contacts app?
[Android Apps and Games] AxeL_IT:
Hello, after many years as Adguard Premium user, i switch to Blokada cause Adguard with the latest updates goes in pause by itself and stop working. That issue is frustrating cause even if i've already apps with VPN disabled, Adguard keep pausing itself on my P9 Lite, saddly but true. I can't no more be able to use that app for blocking my ads as the competitor blokada does.
[Android Apps and Games] pgovotsos:
The whitelist doesn't seem to be working. I'm trying to go to http://wordpress.hertell.nu and the browser is saying that the site can't be reached. If I disable Adguard, the page loads fine.

I'm running Adguard 2.10.176 on Pixel XL with Nougat. The site is definitely on the whitelist. Https filtering is set to filter all sites except those on the whitelist. Filtering mode is local VPN and filtering method is high quality.

This isn't the first time that the whitelist doesn't seem to be working and it is quite annoying.
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
I can load that page just fine without adding it to the whitelist. The filtering log did not show it blocked anything on the page, either.
[Android Apps and Games] pgovotsos:
I get these two entries in the log. At the same time there were two DNS beacon entries but I don't know if they apply. I can add them if needed.
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
Try disabling your custom DNS. I'm not using one, so that explains why I could load it and you couldn't.
[Android Apps and Games] pgovotsos:
Thanks, that did it. I wouldn't have thought that Adguard DNS would block something that the Adguard app lets through. I definitely didn't expect either one to block something on WordPress.

Edit:

BTW how did you know that I was using custom DNS from those screenshots?
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
DNS requests don't show in the filtering log unless you're using custom DNS.

Wifi problem

Hello there. Sometimes I have a problem with going out on an internete. For example, I have not looked at the phone for a long time. After a few hours, I can not check out the internete when I pick up the handset. He pretends that the Internet is gone. This is the case with Wifi. How do I know the network
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Are you in proxy or VPN mode? There is an issue with proxy mode indeed, but it should work okay with VPN.

---------- Post added at 12:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:55 AM ----------

@flipmode_11 thank you so much for the feedback!

I have filed a couple of feature requests based on your post. Please check them on GH, did I get everything right?

Possible options:

1. Unfiltered port (can be changed in the low-level settings - "pref.ports".

2. They're using UDP

3. The connections are still open (they'll show up in the filtering log when they're closed). Force stop the apps to make it happen right away.

A serious rework of this section is on our todo list.

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForAndroid/issues/new

I thought we've fixed it already. Reopened the old bug:

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForAndroid/issues/1498

The only cause for this bug is that when AdGuard cannot detect the app responsible for a connection, it attributes it to Android OS, and it seems that at that moment we make a mistake and don't check it against your apps mgmt settings.

Search is already there.

"Filter by specific app" is redundant -- you can simply enter the app name in the search box.

But why would you need it? What's makes system apps different - they can still track you or load ads, and you can control them just as regular apps.

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForAndroid/issues/1327

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForAndroid/issues/1651

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForAndroid/issues/new

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForAndroid/issues/new

What blacklist do you mean?

We'll add a date range selector so that you could select any range you like.

It's not last 24 hours, it's really "Today" :)

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForAndroid/issues/1654

Basically, you'd like to see app-specific rules on the apps mgmt screen? There is a problem with this feature request, it can mislead you into thinking that these are the only rules applied to that app.

I need to know more about your AdGuard settings. Also, about your device. What's different from the default settings?

https://phandroid.com/2017/02/02/huawei-honor-emui-first-thing/

Hello! Dude, i think it is an Adguard issue, cause i was using it for along time with the same kind of Huawei phone and didn't got any issue, except with the latest updates. Also, my Adguard is already on the "Protected apps" but the situation seems to be the same, it keep pausing by itself. Maybe check it out what is the problem on the application instead of trying to find a solution that doesn't exsist. Sorry but this time it is an Adguard bug, cause the older version was working properly without any problem.
[Android Apps and Games] dmarden:
Proxy mode, yes... which is my preference. Anything I can do on my end to manually correct the issue or provide you with helpful info?
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
We had a discussion about Huawei mate on the forum, and we found the issue:

https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdguardForAndroid/issues/1594

This is a bug in Huawei's firmware, but you can set up AdGuard to avoid it:

Settings -> Advanced -> Low-level -> check "pref.vpn.disable.reconfigure"

---------- Post added at 07:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:14 PM ----------

Not yet, we have not yet figured what exactly causes it :(
[Android Apps and Games] AxeL_IT:
Hello! Tryed to do as you suggest, but keep pausing anyway! This is so sad, i can't use Adguard anymore. I didn't understand why if it is a Huawei Firmware problem, Blokada didn't suffer of that issue.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
It'd be helpful if you can reproduce the issue and send me AdGuard's log (settings -> advanced -> export logs). I'll check if you suffer from the same issue or is it something different.
[Android Apps and Games] dennis605605:
Try this. This helped me.

Hello I got the same problem. But I can solve it. Go under "Preferences"->"Apps Management", look for "Android OS" . Click on "Android OS" and uncheck the box "Enabled" under "General. That immediately solves the problem. Good luck and a happy new year.
[Android Apps and Games] superleeds27:
Noticed quite a few adverts coming through on websites, XDA being one of them. I've tried disabling the search advertising stuff but they still seem to appear.

The other thing I've noticed too is opening links on Facebook and Twitter, when they open in their own 'browser' or whatever it is. Add tend not to get blocked there either?

Maybe a issue with my settings? I'm not sure?
[Android Apps and Games] bond32:
Question regarding the log, when I see something blocked normally, say in chrome, sometimes I see the same target as a dns request. For example, "sb.scorecardresearch.com" is blocked in chrome but then shows up again as a dns request as unblocked. What does all that mean? I'm just trying to figure out better ways to identify what's in the log and I see a ton of things in dns requests that either look strange or have no explanation.
[Android Apps and Games] romracer:
I've noticed this recently too. For me, I notice it on LTE and at home, both places I have IPv6. Looking into my logs, I see Adguard fails to setup its transparent proxy that it uses for IPv6 filtering. I use Adguard in Proxy with automatic setup mode (and therefore root) and without this transparent proxy, IPv6 filtering does not work.

You could try enabling the advanced low-level setting to block IPv6 in proxy mode (find the right setting, it has "proxy" in the name, not "vpn") to see if this helps. Of course it blocks IPv6 all together which you might need.

From what I can tell, the transparent proxy setup fails because SELinux prevents tcp_socket creation among others on my device (Pixel 2 XL, Dec or Jan security updates, Oreo 8.1). I have a Magisk module I made which patches SELinux and allows this to work, but I need to see more examples from others that this is really the problem before I release it.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Most likely that's the reason indeed.

Magisk was tweaking SEPolicy on Oreo so we had to use an ugly workaround. Maybe we don't need it anymore, we'll check it:

[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
What about using the VPN mode? Do you have the issue when you use AG with default settings?
[Android Apps and Games] carlylemiii:
VPN mode seems fine for me. Browsing a site like APKMirror with proxy mode I get remnants left over from ad removal, but I haven't noticed a single ad in VPN mode in the last week or so, I don't think.
[Android Apps and Games] superleeds27:
VPN active. Default settings.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Got it, so the mode does not matter, I wonder what's wrong then.

Could you please report the ad you're seeing to http://agrd.io/report and post a report link here?

[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Do you have "mobile ads filter" enabled?

Does it help to enable DNS requests blocking?

Hi guys, I've a wakelock issue with adguard ..

The issue is that adguard is causing Android system having *alarm* wakelock ..

I'm on OnePlus 5 on Oreo official

Here's some screenshots and the log to prove that is really adguard causing this wakelock !

The screenshot shows only app that woke up the device ! And the other screens shows what wakelock on Android system have woken up the device and as you can see it's *alarm*

With adguard disabled there's like 100 time less *alarm* wakelock from Android system ..

Hope you can solve the issue !
[Android Apps and Games] tlf55:
As you can see here's more exemple over more time with adguard disabled .. no single Android system wakelock.. so adguard is definitely the cause that Android system have *alarm* wakelock :(
[Android Apps and Games] HubrisRev5:
i filled out that google form thing 2 days ago, and I have not received any email with a beta key. are you still doing the program?
[Android Apps and Games] allidea:
Any progress regarding this feature request? I'm using VPN provider app and it doesn't work (as already mentioned) unless DNS is set to system defaults.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Mistery.. I wonder what will happen if you simply disable AG for `Android OS`?

---------- Post added at 06:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:55 PM ----------

Facebook Browser is different as HTTPS filtering does not work inside of it. So *some* ads might sneak in.

---------- Post added at 07:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:45 PM ----------

It's not in the v2.11 tasks so expect it later. Also, it won't be just about DNS, more of a "any settings"
[Android Apps and Games] tlf55:
what do you mean ? to get rid of Alarm wakelock of Android OS, i actually disable AG (i mean protection off)
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Go to AG -> Apps Management -> Find Android OS -> uncheck "Enabled"
[Android Apps and Games] tlf55:
Oh already tried it, the issue remain the same unfortunately .. :(
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Could you please try doing it for other system apps? Google Play services maybe? If it does not help, could you plz try installing any other local VPN-based app (no root firewall for instance) to check if it has anything to do with the VPN presence.
[Android Apps and Games] tlf55:
I think I found the culprit .. it's actually an other app named "hide running in the background notification"

As I'm on Oreo when I enable adguard there's a notification from Android system " adguard is running in the background" always there and I found on XDA this app to hide this notification ..

I thought it was adguard cause it's actually the only app running in background that I hide the notification so when I enable adguard this app hide the notification from Android system .. and when I disable or uninstall adguard no longer have the notification so the app " hide running ..." Is not running too so I don't have the wakelock anymore ..

Well I think is that but I've to test more because I'm at work right now and couldn't test all aspect of this theory but after the first try when I uninstalled this other app I don't have the wakelock anymore with adguard running :)
[Android Apps and Games] yochananmarqos:
You're not the only one that discovered that about that app. I believe it was someone on the BetterBatteryStats thread.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Well, lol, I certainly didn't see it coming :)

Love it! I have it on every single device I own.

Desktop version has been endowed with fantastic features. It keeps getting better with every update. I love the UI, the option to use userscripts system wide without any additional browser extension, the parental control, the options to change User Agent and many more . Yeah! It rocks. :highfive:

Same with Android. I can't use android without this app. Install, configure, sit back and relax. System wide zero ads. No worries.:cool:

Love you developers. Keep developing.:D

You can say me an AdGuard fan-boy which I really have become after using this..
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Huh, this works for desktop version of AG only.

But as you've already convinced your friends to try AG I'll make an exception for you.

Not yet. AG can't block youtube video ads with or without root until we implement SSL filtering (which is planned on AG 3.0).

We will add more filter subscriptions rather soon.

Meanwhile you can simply import EasyList China to the userfilter by it's URL.

You won't get subscription updates automatically so the solution is not ideal, but better than nothing.

It seems like ads are popping up after the new update. Can anyone confirm it? I got a notification for the new update and I did it. Do I have to remove the previous version and then install the new one?
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Weird, which exact version have you used before?

Where do you see the ads?

Could you please check Firewall settings? Is ad filtering enabled for the apps & browsers you use?
[Android Apps and Games] dippitaurus:
1. I was using v2.0.62 before.

2. I see them in apps and notifications.

3. I've enabled both settings in Browsing Security. In General settings, there seems to be a new one called 'Show useful ads' and it's enabled. Should I disable it?

4. Also, there's a new Firewall setting that shows the traffic and all the apps installed. The current setting is all 'green'. Should it be 'red?
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
All apps? That's weird. Try reinstalling Adguard, maybe the settings were somehow messed up while installing that update.

As you wish. Useful ads does not make any difference, especially for apps.

Yep, all green is right.
