The intrusive best buy "slide up" ad on the bottom. It pops up every time you enter a new page.
I'm all for sites having advertisements. Gotta pay the bills. But, the ones that block content annoy the hell out of me!

Agree. I don't mind them all over the site, but the popup at the bottom is on every page and blocking me from the forums.

I agree its annoying

website operators going too far with stupid ass popup spam banners are the reason why we use the ad blocker programs.

I haven't seen this at all..
must be US only
sucks for you guys =]

I use the XDA App so I don't see them.

[Q] Anyone get annoyed with apps with adds?

Anyone getting annoyed by the fact that everytime you flash a new rom there is alot of apps that nice that are in it but you have to pay for them so they serve no use along with some using a theme launcher that you also have to pay for cause if you try to uninstall it it's built into the rom and will mess your phone up. Alot of apps are asking for too many permissions that arn't needed and some ads out there snatch up your phone number and spam the crap outta it.
What apps are you talking about? And yeah I agree I hate ads myself but I don't like adfree neitheir cause at the and always end up removing the host file

On the market anything free demo wise is full of adds and some ask for too much permission to use along with apps that are included in roms. Be nice if some of the folks that designed there roms also made there own themes instead of putting a bunch of stuff on there that you have to buy to use. Just wondering who is annoyed with it thats all ...
I agree with you on the add free app.

Yea I deff agree. They should make 2versions of some apps/games like angry birds paid or free with ads, same with words with friends. I know that words with friends paid is in the works but they should release ad free paid and free at the same time. My opinion anyway.

This sucks!
My internet was really really slow when I was on network or wifi. A member suggested me to install Adfree and download the host files. I did that and it solved my internet problems but now I can't play words with friends because it blocks the ads.
I can't take a L in 18 active games I have going on. What should I do?

You need to erase the host file
Buy root explorer (android market) really good app for root phones to
Open the app, give it super user permissions, and go to system, etc and look for the host file erase it and reboot that should fix it

Adfree outweighs the hassle of ads IMHO. Everytime I try and use an ad supported app just to get interrupted by bumping an ad and opening up the browser, it just plain sucks. Ill stop using android if I have to look at ads all day.

got a email from sprint about the new Qik

and thought i should share
I'll copy and paste everything cause im lazy
Cool New App
You probably heard the big news, but Qik was acquired by Skype earlier this year. And we’ve been working hard to release our latest rev, adding some great new features. Now you should be able to enjoy live video chat with everyone you know while you’re on the go—even your friends who use iPhones. Yep. That’s right. The new & improved version of Qik Video by Sprint* enables Sprint EVO users to video chat live with anyone who uses an iPhone or Android over 3G, 4G* and WiFi. Plus, you can still instantly record and share videos with your Facebook friends, Twitter followers, on YouTube and more.
*If you have anything other than Qik Video by Sprint, including multiple apps, delete it/them.
**iOS devices do not currently utilize a 4G network.
Save Video & Update Now!
Qik! Follow these steps so you can see what (and who) you're missing!
Save your videos!
Check to see what version of Qik you've got.
IMPORTANT: If you have Qik Video Connect-or anything other than Qik Video by Sprint, even multiple apps-hit DELETE! (It's the ONLY way you'll be able to enjoy all Qik Video by Sprint has to offer!)
Download Qik Video by Sprint!
Check and update your HTV EVO software, too.
Brand New Policies
And because we’re now Skype, we have some new policies in place and our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy have both changed. Effective immediately, the Skype Terms of Use will govern your use of Qik’s software, products and websites and your personal information will be processed in accordance with the Skype Privacy Policy. No action is necessary if you agree with these changes. But if you don’t, you’ll want to review your termination rights in Section 11 of our Terms of Use.
Thank you! We appreciate your support. Keep Qik'king!
LOL @ Qik'king

Yeah that's weird but that app is actually useful though.
Got the same email, but my work area has little 3G coverage and usually roaming. Tried videochat when it first came out and kept dropping off calls. If the coverage was better in my area I'd prolly use this more often.

I agree, despite the name I use tikl all the time. One of the most used / longest used apps on my phone. It great that it works on all android and iphones no matter what the network. The developer is constantly improving it also. Not sure why there is not pay/donate/adfree version.

[AMAZON] Free app of the day!

I saw on other forums they have a thread for this so people can talk and figure out what's good and what's not and because I know people don't check the app every day... So here is an Unofficial spot for y'all to discuss, bash, argue, and talk about the amazon free app of the day. So I'm just gonna compile some info and basically copy some stuff from other threads.
Now, as most of you know Amazon offers a paid app for free every day. Sometimes they are very good, for example I snagged SwiftKey X from them.. But other days its kinda retarded. Down below is a link for the amazon site where you can get the app store.
http://www.amazon.com/mobile-apps/b?ie=UTF8&node=2350149011
Here is a direct download link to the latest app store if you prefer to do it this way..
http://db.tt/qVgQHJ0
Also, you must have this app store installed at all times in order to use any app from Amazon.
Also, it will ask you to register a credit card through amazon to make a "purchase". that is fine. Even with the free app, its technically bought. You will get a receipt for $0.00. Many people use this and its not a scam, so if your new to it.. Do not worry. The benefit of this means that once you "buy" it the app is yours! You don't need to even have it installed, even after its not free anymore! So you don't have to worry about getting a ridiculous amount of apps that you MIGHT use. So feel free to download all of them
Down below is a nifty app that will push a notification to you about what the free app of the day is! Kinda handy if your a bargain hunter...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1090838
Also, i take no credit for the aforementioned thread or app! So yeah. I'll work on getting some screens up.. Enjoy!

Just so you know you don't actually have to install the app. Just hit install, get the email and when the system asks you if you want to install or cancel, just hit cancel. Then it's saved to your Amazon account and if you change your mind later you can still install it for free at any point.

Rom request

Hey guys I have the cyanogen mod right now. I was enjoying it but started having problems. I need to flash with new rom but I want a rom that can do soem stuff. You know like a ROM geared towards single men type thing. A rom that has the ability to hide apps if u want. maybe black list. So when i am with another girl i dont have to worry about the other ones blowing my **** up. Any help... If anything request me to a reliable rom. Thank you.
I don't think you need a rom...you just need an app like Hide It Pro. It lets you hide pictures, videos, and apps as far as I know.
And as far as not having to worry about other women "blowing your **** up" it's called put your phone on silent when you're with one, lol
Airplane mode

also, put a password on your phone so they can't get in there, hahaha
hmm never actually hear of a single app that could do what you are looking for, unless airplane mode is good enough to stop the calls, and data text from coming in, maybe keep photos you dont want see online as well

MIUI has access control, you can password protect certain apps or just hide them completely (using MIUI's launcher)
if you use a different launcher the password protected apps still require a password to open them but will not be 'hidden'
Also it has a privicy mode, (which you can also set as password protected to exit it) once you enable it, all Calls/SMS/Call log are hidden
Dr. Phil would have a field day with this one! First, I would consider it an invasion of my personal space. I don't look in my wife's purse! Just have ur phone set to require a security swipe after 30 secs - 1 min. If she makes a real big deal about it, ask her if she has any single friends. Same goes if gender roles are switched. It's a matter of respect.

There are apps that will flash your screen for various notifications. Try Missed Message Flasher.
Tablets are not designed to be your main interaction tool for notifications, that is your mobile phone. The tablet is really only there to do things when your actually using it
You could try the app NoLED https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.led.notify
It flashes up dots or custom icons on the screen when you get various types of notifications. It will also suck your battery a bit though.

It was meant if you want something simple and designed for a child,apple should be your choice. I'm tired of people complaining about the tiniest of details. Yes this tablet is small, but I'm not carrying it around as a phone. If i see my phones led light up and my tablet is closer I'll pick it up and check. I'm an avid Android fan, and apple irritates me. People have to realize this is a tablet, and not a phone. You can get it to act that way, but tweaking is involved. Android is for adults, and people with individuality. Apple is for confused close minded people. Sorry if my comment bothered you. I probably should have explained myself better lol
