Found a Solution that doesn't require turning off location...

...or waiting for your phone to "learn" to not like it. I'm being really detailed and simple here in the event someone finds the forum via Google (like I did).

Go to your Blink Feed page (usually by swiping from your home page)

Click the three lines in the top left corner (next to "Highlights")

Click the three dots in the page that follows (Next to "Search for Content")

Click "settings"

Scroll down to "Notification on Lockscreen"

Uncheck the box next to "Meal time bundle"

This only disables it on the lock screen. It does not disable it on BlinkFeed.

I installed big tin can's adfree and have never seen any yelp ads. I also do not use blink feed. I like adfree because I can go online and add or delete the hosts I want to allow on my phone.

here is a link to his website. After supersu and busybox this is the third app I always install. have used it now for over 2 years and I forget how frustrating ads can be.

- Go to the new Sense Home page where it says 'Work, Home or Out'.

- Click on the word 'Work, Home or Out' and then click on the three menu dots on the right.

- Select 'Personalize HTC Sense Home'

- Untick 'Share My Precise Location' and 'Share My Personal Usage Data'

No more meal (and other) suggestions from HTC! ;)

Yes. This is exactly the thing I was talking about in the 'setup' app. Thank you for giving another option so people don't need to run the whole setup again just to get to that option!

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbfountain:
This is the proper way to get rid of the Yelp ads. It has been available since they started, and if anyone was paying attention HTC revealed this as soon as they started. That is why there isn't much talk about it. I have never seen a Yelp ad on my Blinkfeed. Maybe because I have adaway installed?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] godefroi:
First thing I did with the One M9 was disable Blinkfeed. Now, I'm in a holding pattern, waiting for a Sense-free ROM. Bleh.

It does say they will implement a way to option out of the promotions.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sausje85:
Still it shouldn't be. It's paid software, since when is it ok for paid software to still display advertisements?!

Even if it's just for those wanting to support HTC, it should be an opt-in option, not opt-out.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K00li79:
Bull**** move.... Paid a lot of money for a phone and they put adds in a paid feature of your phone.... Disrespectful.

I agree, they should ask you if you want this in.... Not you having too turn this **** off when you (obviously) don't want it.

They could use the time of their programmers too make useful updates for our M9's!
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fernandezhjr:
I do agree that it should come turned off by default, so if users want to see the adds, they must go turn it on. This way, users are not opting out, but are opting in. I understand the whole "it is the principal of the thing" argument, but really, what is the big inconvenience of going into to the settings menu and toggling something on or off? The other thing HTC could do is not have blinkfeed preinstalled. They could have it in the Play Store available for download only for those that want it. This way it wouldn't be considered a paid app, but it would a free app available for download. I only use blinkfeed for Facebook and that is all I see in it, nothing but likes and shares from my newsfeed. I have never seen a yelp add or any other add since day one with my phone. However this was easy for me to configure since I don't use Sense Home.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
An update of Sense home was pushed out today that already brings sponsored ads to your blinkfeed. Luckily, the opt-out setting is already there (was unchecked per default, check to block ads).
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iElvis:
HTC is revenue-challenged at the moment. I'd rather they create some new ways of making money than go out of business altogether. Having to uncheck one box is not really a crime against humanity.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zacpod:
I don't have the option to turn off the ads. I can turn them off on the lockscreen, but they still show up in the feed.

Terrible. If this keeps up I'll be getting a Moto instead of HTC for my next phone. I didn't pay $650+ for a flagship phone to be monetized. That might be acceptable on a budget phone but on a flagship it just shows a complete lack of respect for the customer.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThePhoneGeek:
If they're so revenue challenged they should concentrate on making superior quality phones and quit wasting time and money on a bunch of other useless products people won't buy anyway!
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fernandezhjr:
Good Lord. Blinkfeed is part of Sense Home, just turn off notifications for Sense Home. It still allows content to stream.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nethoinkz:
You pay for tv and cable yet they still have commercials. That's just the way big companies work. As for me I didn't have problems with ads probably because I have adaway.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zacpod:
Actually, I DON'T pay for cable/tv, specifically because I refuse to pay $100/month for something and then get ads too. I only use Netflix, Amazon, and other services that don't spew ads at me. Cheaper, better, and no ads. :)

Putting Ads in Blinkfeed completely counterbalances its usefulness for me. Blinkfeed has been the main reason my wife and I bought the past 3 HTC flagships, as it is simply the best news&social aggregate feed out there. However, the ads in it are the reason my next phone will probably be a Moto X or Nexus - unless HTC removes the ads, or at least gives me the option of disabling them, before my next phone purchase decision.

Effectively, HTC needs to ask itself if it's willing to trade a portion of its existing customer base in order to get a fraction more income due to ads.

It's very much akin to your 'friend' who tries to get you to sign up for a pyramid scheme - they don't generally stay a friend after trying crap like that.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbfountain:
I don't get any ads in Blinkfeed, but that is probably because I used the method that was posted on page 2 to turn them off instead of *****ing about them. Silly me. I should have left them on,so I could complain about them.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dashbored:
I totally get what you're saying, and I agree - obviously HTC should've handled this better. I initially wasn't sold on Blinkfeed, but I got the M7 anyway just for its overall design. Eventually Blinkfeed grew on me and now it's one of my top used apps, which is very surprising to say the least. I think it's the top news aggregator too. So I was also taken back when I saw the ads on lockscreen and in Blinkfeed. Actually, it was a search for how to turn off the Yelp ads in Blinkfeed that brought me to this thread. Honestly, I am just happy there's a way to turn it off. It is what it is - I think I would feel more pissed if there's absolutely no way to get rid of it.

That being said, maybe because I live in a decent size city, but those Yelp suggestions actually were decently helpful. It actually suggested some decent eats, some of which I frequent a lot. I might actually turn it back on, since it did suggest some new places that I haven't tried. I think it's like the Matrix - the problem is choice :laugh:

On a tangent but Moto has been disappointing with their recent trajectory. I think it started with Google selling them to damn Lenovo. This is so sad... I honestly don't have any desire for any new phone in the pipeline now, save for the HTC M10 depending on how it turns out. If only we can upgrade the chipset on the M7 with replaceable battery! I just hope the M10 is worth it or I truly believe HTC will be belly up this time next year.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbfountain:
I agree with you that the M7 was a great phone, but the M8 was so much better. The M9 was a bit of a disappointment, but HTC didn't have enough support from their chip manufacturer (Qualcomm) to make a big improvement. As far as them going belly up that's not going to happen anytime soon. It sounds like you've been listening to some of the industry bafoons that really don't have a clue as to what HTC is really about. They're a much smaller company than Samsung or LG, so they won't generate the profits that those 2 will, but are not in any danger of going out of business. They were making Android phones long before either of those two companies and will be making them for a long time to come. I have a feeling that the M10 or whatever they call it will be a world class phone just like the M8 was. You're right about Blink Feed as well. Sense in general is an awesome experience.

Cheers

[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dashbored:
Yeah, the M8 is overall a nice upgrade from the M7, except I wish HTC had the balls to keep the dual capacitive button arrangement like the M7. I guess I must be in the super minority in that I don't think nor want a dedicated button to app switching. Double clicking on Home with the M7 works perfectly for me! Again, I realize that's just me, and I am all about minimalist and simplification whenever applicable. But I love how the usable screen real estate on my M7 is comparable to the M8/M9 due to no onscreen nav buttons. The M8/M9 just looks slightly awkward to me with that (in)famous HTC black bar serving no purpose. I do love that the speakers were better on the M8, but HTC stagnated with the M9. If they can cram say the iPad speaker, but one on each side for the M10... oh my.

Another knock against M8/M9... doesn't seem like they're able to be S-off/unlock bootloader under Verizon - please correct me if I am wrong. Sadly, I'll be with Verizon for the foreseeable future. I would love to upgrade to a M8 if I can get it S-off/unlocked.

I am also a fan of HTC and I sincerely hope you're right! I hate Samsung and LG's software. Stock android is cool but for me personally I never thought it was the holy grail. I think HTC's Vive would again be superior in hardware design, but HTC for some reason really sucks at marketing. I still think the M10 has to be a hit both critically and actual sales, or HTC would just be too weak to really do anything beyond that. I would seriously hate to see a hostile takeover. Moto under Lenovo is already sad enough.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbfountain:
I too hope HTC has a hit with their next flagship device. Dispite the ads in Blinkfeed which can be easily turned off I prefer it over Samsungs version. Over the last few years I've had the M7, M8, and I currently have a M9. During that same time I've had a LG G4, a Samsung S5, and I currently have a S6 Edge Plus.

Samsung has made a huge step forward with the S6 line, but I still prefer HTC's build quality and UI.

One of these stupid ads showed up on my lockscreen today out of the blue. As I'm running adaway, I was concerned it was malware. I'd never seen it before.

It seems MM changed some settings and disabling this is not intuitive. You now have to go to Blinkfeed>Highlights>+ (add source)> then uncheck the Mealtime recommendations. Seems to have worked.

I am trying out CM 12.1 nightly on my Moto G 2014 (XT-1068) for the last 3 weeks. It has been surprisingly stable so far and a huge improvement over the stock 5.0.2 ROM provided by Motorola. Everything is working great on the latest nightly (Camera, Dual-SIM, etc) except for 2 issues which can be easily fixed. I am posting it so here so it may help someone who is looking for the solution.

GPS Does Not Work (Link to source)

GPS does not work after flashing the latest nightly. This issue seems to be present on most custom ROMs and can be fixed easily by running the following commands in fastboot mode:

Ubuntu Linux users can install the 'android-tools' package with the command 'sudo apt-get install android-tools' and use following commands in fastboot mode:

This is a strange fix but works perfectly - the GPS locks in less than a second after rebooting the phone. You can test this using an app like "GPS Fix" which shows the time it takes for the phone to find GPS satellites. Apparently 'modemst1' and 'modemst2' are cache partitions which can be erased safely (at your own risk!)

Low Speaker Volume

Headphone volumes are pretty loud but speaker volumes are extremely low. I noticed this after one week of using the ROM when I put the phone on speaker mode while on a call. This can be fixed easily by editing the file '/system/etc/mixer_paths.xml' using ES File Explorer in root mode.

[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sid21177:
I'm a PC person and this is my first android device, so please bear with me.

When my Tab 4 had the stock rom, it showed 3.28gb as the minimum required to run system blah blah under settings/device/storage

I've now installed a custom rom using TWRP flash.

The rom is supposed to be a lightweight version with a lot of the bloatware removed, but the OS still shows 3.28gb as system space.

Why did the system space not reduce if the OS is slimmed down version ??

Did I flash incorrectly ??, in the PC world if you used a smaller OS image it would give the option to make a smaller OS partition and free up more space for data partitions.

Am I missing something here ??

Do Android roms not resize the partitions ??

Can we resize the partitions manually before installing the rom ??
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sid21177:
anyone ??
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Depends on the rom. First off, which model number do you have (Settings > about device > model number)? Secondly, which rom did you install? (I'm going to assume you installed some sort of stock-based rom). To tentatively answer your question, touchwiz roms (i.e. stock based) usually don't free up much space because even though it's a "custom rom" it's in many senses the same thing, many if not all of the same system apps/processes. AOSP-based roms (the most well known tends to be Cyanogenmod and its derivatives) usually free up a lot more space. A quick numerical example: my tablet came with something like 300 or 400 system apps comprising the stock OS. Simply put, I wiped everything and installed cyanogenmod, now the corresponding number is somewhere between 70 to 90 system apps. In other terms Samsung's touchwiz (the stock Samsung version of Android) is hideously bloated, first with all the unnecessary crap (adware, unnecessary apps, gimmicky features, etc.) they include, and also because they essentially built their own android environment (touchwiz) on top of google's stock android. I'm just speaking from what I've picked up from personal experience, I'm sure someone could give you a much better technically in-depth answer than this, but I saw your question and felt bad that you hadn't gotten an answer, so I hope this has helped in any way. If not, well, sorry :(
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sid21177:
I installed a custom rom which is about 400mb in size. I assume the initial system partition was set to 3.28gb as the stock rom is a lot larger.

So, I thought that when I install a smaller rom, the space on the device will free up to be used as data storage, like it would on a PC when you image the drive with a smaller OS image.

But there was no change to the system partition size, apparently android custom rom flashes do not touch the partition size, they just reduce the content on the partition

Unless I got this figured out wrong
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thisisapoorusernamechoice:
Yeah sorry after I answered I read more carefully and saw you were asking more about the partition size, I apologize that was my bad. I'm definitely out of my league here, all I know is bad things (like hard bricks) tend to happen when people try re-partitioning (I'm not saying it isn't possible necessarily, just that it's certainly not to be done lightly or casually)

Correct to this line. I think this is the core of what you were asking and what I missed.
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sid21177:
No issues :)

If it was a PC I'd tinker around in a heartbeat, with devices & embedded roms its a little more hairy ;)
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sub77:
you can move apps from the data partition to system, this will give you more free space.

partitioning is also possible, there are custom roms from other devices which do so.

On average how much space can you free up by doing this? Thanks In advance!!!
[Galaxy Tab 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guruprasath T:
First you should root your device to get the permissions to write any data to system partition.

Then you can use apps like Titanium Backup, .... to move apps to system partition.

Freeing space depends on the size of the app you are moving.

Don't root to just move apps to system partition. Use a sdcard intead.
