Even the Chromium based Bromite browser and its standalone patched Webview do an excellent job in blocking ads

I use dns66 which works fine. The only exception is the "Chess.com" app which still loads ads no matter what. Does anyone know what can be done?
[Android General] Portgas D. Ace:
Most likely those ads are hard-coded into the app. AdAway and/or MinMinGuard might help, but not sure about it, though.
[Android General] carlosalvatore:
Hi,

I opted for the AdBlocker script solution on both my phone (Moto C) and my children's tablet (Asus TF101), and it worked very well.

I was concerned about some free kids apps with a lot of ads. Once I tried this method all that went away and now I am confident on let them play and learn with the tablet.

Also, this method was very helpful in the TF101 because it didn't slow it down at all. That tablet is old and have not aged well, so any background process that can be avoided really improves performance.
[Android General] Portgas D. Ace:
Hey everyone,

it took me quite some time to update the thread, but finally I have been able to do so. Check post #6 for the changelog.

The most exited update: if you are running Android 9 or above, you can use Androids private DNS option to block ads systemwide without the need for root or a constant running VPN :)

The Xposed section has been removed as it isn't relevant anymore these days in my opinion.

If you have any questions or feedback, just drop a comment.

TrackerControl is also a good solution for non-root users.

[Android General] Fredrick Sylar:
I have a problem with ad blocking I wish you could help me with...

I had a Note10+ that was rooted with Magisk, systemless hosts module installed and all ads blocked via LuckyPatcher and everything worked flawlessly. Ever since I switched to a Xiaomi 13 Ultra about a year ago, this method (or any other means) of blocking ads works anymore!

Xiaomi device is also rooted, tried all ad blockers that use root access (to avoid constant VPN connection), tried LuckyPatcher, tried a number of Magisk and LSPosed modules of which NONE worked!

Is there something I'm doing wrong or settings I should change? I tried stopping Data Compression on Chrome but I can't seem to find it on latest build (122 as of time of writing) and it seems like a promising start but I still get ads inside apps so I'm not sure ads are being blocked to begin with.
[Android General] Portgas D. Ace:
Hi Fredrick,

I haven't been around rooting recent Android devices since some time now, especially Xiaomi devices, thus I can't really comment about vendor-specific issues with root. In addition, there is (at least in my opinion) no real reason to use a root-based ad-blocking solution on devices running Android 9+ due to the possibility to set your own privateDNS server to block ads on DNS level (see post #4). Please try this solution and report back. I use one of the private DNS server recommended by German security and privacy advocator Mike Kuketz (see here). Look for "Besonderheit: Blockiert Werbung und Tracker" ( = blocks ads and trackers) at the end of each recommendation box and use the host name (the one without https:// in front).
[Android General] Fredrick Sylar:
Many thanks for your input.

I tried DNS but that didn't work as well. I fiddled with some safety-check Magisk modules and somehow ads started getting blocked again, so I couldn't dare try to figure out how or why and left things as is.

Just glad my web browsing is no longer cluttered with annoying ads ^_^

Dear all,

I got Lenovo K3 note from Flipkart, but there is a problem with it. I am not able to remove the battery once inserted. The battery fits in very tight in the slot. Due to this I have not been able to insert simcard in my phone. I have shown the phone in service centre and they have suggested me replacement. Rest I haven't used the phone at all so no personal experience. Has anyone faced similar issues??

Do let me know....Also what did u do in this case? I am planning to get my phone replaced thru Flipkart.

I just made a call and my LTE didn't drop and I was able to surf the internet while on the call so I think the official OTA is about to drop and they've activated the advanced calling features.

on prerooted .509 btw
[Xperia Z3v General] mpeclipse03:
I just gave mine a try on .485 and it dropped my LTE as soon as the call began. Can anyone else confirm that it is working on the alternate lollipop?
[Xperia Z3v General] BladeRunner:
You can see the ongoing call in the status bar as well as the active LTE
[Xperia Z3v General] mpeclipse03:
Interesting. I have rooted .485, and want to keep root to get the same firmware as you. Is it a simple upgrade to the new software through TWRP recovery to jump from .485 to yours?
[Xperia Z3v General] BladeRunner:
yes, you should be able to dirty flash it
[Xperia Z3v General] mpeclipse03:
By dirty flash you mean simply download the software zip onto the SD card similar to the first update?
[Xperia Z3v General] BladeRunner:
yes, just download the pre-rooted flashable and flash with recovery.

I am on .509 and Advanced Calling is not activated. Been trying all morning to get it to work with no success.
[Xperia Z3v General] BladeRunner:
was it active on your line before with another device? Mine was, and I suppose it could be location specific. Who knows for sure, but it is definitely working for me. Simultaneous voice/data and HD calling.
[Xperia Z3v General] dachao:
No, it wasn't active on my line before but we have over 40 phones on the business account and there is no way to activate it on our side of the account management.

Coworkers with the GS5/6 iPhones have advanced calling.
[Xperia Z3v General] mpeclipse03:
I can't seem to get it working either. Hmmm, I wonder if it is a regional thing or why one person can the feature over the others.
[Xperia Z3v General] BladeRunner:
I think unless you had it active already on a different device it won't work. I suspect they have activated it for testing prior to the lollipop update.

Again it's possible they've only activated it for testing it in limited areas.
[Xperia Z3v General] mpeclipse03:
I have a note5 with it active on my current line and it the interesting thing, is that it shows up when you go into my MyVerizon account as an active feature. Could it be a SIM card issue that only certain ones are supported?
[Xperia Z3v General] BladeRunner:
I know it was showing as active for me on the .485 firmware last week, but wasn't working, so I don't think it is a SIM issue.
[Xperia Z3v General] Tigerhoods:
did this just start working for you or did you get it to activate. On my girlfriends druid turbo after you activate advanced calling it has a menu below where you can check video and voice do you have these options.
[Xperia Z3v General] BladeRunner:
I flashed the. 509 firmware last night and tried the advanced calling this morning and it was just working. I have the advanced calling, HD and video toggles.
[Xperia Z3v General] mpeclipse03:
Still nothing on .485. I have the option for advanced calling and when I hit it, it says to restart my phone in 5 minutes, but when I restart, there is no options available and it says I have to activate it again.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
I'm not sure a working custom recovery is readily available for your device. Nothing came up via searching here or on Google. Typically, even if it's posted in another language, Google will still find the phrase "CWM". Are you sure that the Lollipop rom you are looking at is for your device? If so, the developer should have installation notes, which should include what recovery to use, or others that are watching the post usually comment on that type of thing.

Going away, wanted to unlock by Rogers Samsung S5 so I can use a local sim card. Bought an unlock code on Ebay, but it was not accepted. Now I'm doing some reading, says that phones with customer ROMS sometimes have trouble with legitimate unlock codes.

So if it's true, I think I need to go back to stock and try. But I wanted to see if anyone had any experience doing this, if they think that customer ROM is the issue. Also do I have to just go to stock, or also stock recovery, and what about bootloader, does that have to be changed back if I've installed an updated bootloader?

Thanks a lot.

Hello

My lg g4 gets hot after taking like 50 photos in a row. I was using it pretty hard when i was on vacation as my "take-photo-device". After a lot of google searching, i found out that the G3 could have been modified internally to make the temps better and make sure the phone wasnt downclocking as much.

Is there a similar process that you can do on the G4?

Thanks for any help.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] One Twelve:
It requires you to remove the original shield, insert a copper plate on the CPU, add some thermal paste and the heat dissipation is better. This way the heat goes out the back cover instead of towards the front as well.

How easy is it to remove that plate.

There is a thermal mod in the works that could come closer to this with less effort but it needs root. Will be interesting to see cpu-z temps grabs with that mod and compare with this one.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ashdrake:
problems with thermal mods is that they dont fix the underlying issue (which is the CPU getting hot and downclocking like mad), they just either up the temperature range or downclock the cpu from the start not allowing it to work.

I looked at the taiwan link, however i havent managed to figure it out. Can you use some alluminium foil rather than a copper plate?

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Monster Mary:
Nope.

You still need to unlock bootloader before and, may be, to flash custom recovery (makes rooting easier)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
It *is* possible with an app, but I would strongly discourage this. Having a locked bootloader whilst being rooted, even if you have a custom recovery but do not have access to a computer is a really dangerous situation to be in. You could quite easily brick your device. I'm not going to mention the app, because honestly, I don't think you should do it and even then, I don't want lazy folks trying to do that instead of using the official method, so You're on your own there.
