If you're rooted, you can install any number of ad block pieces of software that will update your hosts file so it blocks ads across the board. I use AdAway, personally.
This a way to remove or replace "webpage not available"

If you have AdAway's web server feature on, it should replace those with blank pages.
firefox has it, though the browser is unusable, big disappointment.
dolphin also has it, still beta, not easy to use, you got to google it.
does adfree works on browser ads?

Just got the Asus Transformer Prime today, everything is fine so far but I have come across an issue with the XDA app that I'm having problems with.
I can't seem to stay logged in using the XDA app and once clicking on a thread the XDA app force closes every time.
Just wondering if anyone else is getting this or knows of a way to fix it.
Thanks.
Yeah, seems to be both HC and ICS issue.
I couldn't get get the XDA app to work on a TF201 or TF101. FC every time.
Just been looking at the Android market comments gees there's loads of people commenting about not being able to stay signed in and force closes.
If this has been going on since the first Transformer there should be a resolution by now
My only complaint about the Transformer Prime is that the XDA app doesn't work....

I love XDA, but the XDA app is pretty bad. I use Tapatalk, as it is updated on a more regular basis, and hasn't given me the problems the XDA app has (and yes, I have XDA Premium).

Do they have a Tapatalk version specifically out for Android tablets yet?
there's a free HD version floating around the internet. apparently it's available on the samsung app store. i've used it with honeycomb, but now with ICS it crashes when i login to a forum..
I've got the XDA App on my ICS'd Prime. I can look at threads fine when not signed in but once I sign in and try to look at a thread it crashes. Or try to add threads to favorites it crashes too. Not too big of a deal since I can just pop up the site on browser but I like to use the app. Anyone else experience this?

Are you running the Free or Premium app? I haven't noticed any crash using the Premium one.
Only the premium app works
No problem when using the premium app.The free app has always been flaky over a wide range of devices.
I had no issues with either the free or paid version of the app. Though I only lurked with the free app while signed in. Stock ICS and no root on mine if ya think it matters

Then why even offer the free app?

Because it works for most other phones and tablets. It's just not completely compatible with the Prime yet apparently.
The free app worked for me while I was on HC but does not work under ICS.
I use text plus for SMS on the tablet. It seems adaway blocks the ads, but also prevents texts from being sent, but I can still receive strangely enough. Anything I can do, or have the devs just gotten wise here?

use another sms app? or see if romtoolbox pro's ad blocker is enough to do the trick.
You can add the app to the Ad Away white list, that should sort it out.

Yes I just now spotted that, now my question is how do I know what to add? I can't seem to add an application, but I can add a URL but I'm not sure what the URL is/are

Some app requires ads enable in order to use... its the app issue, not ad away..

Think I got it, I just tried adding *textplus* with the wildcards and it seems to like that. Messages are still going through. I can ignore the ads on that and still have it active on other things.

Sorry for a dumb question, but at least i hope its an easy answer:
What is sideloading?

Sideloading is basically downloading apps from an outside source, other than the amazon AppStore. There are plenty of alternative app stores you can download by searching for on your Kindle browser. Most of the time you can search for the apk file on google and download that pretty easily, without having to use any third-party app store.
Hi guys,
I was wondering of there was any ad blocker? I know Google took most of them out.

Does it blocks ads in all apps?
Is there an ad blocker that doesn't require root?

AdFree is definitely the best one. It doesn't need to run an app in the background to work.
Adfree and adblock plus have an issue with embded YouTube video

adblock-plus doesn't require root, and can block ad from both web browser and app via both 3g/4g and wifi
Adfree works good too!!

Does Adfree just populate the hosts file like Adaway?
if the phone is rooted try this. Blocks ads without breaking apps ( youtube still works ).

Adaway is open source and does exactly the same thing. I prefer open source. Adfree is not, i can't see how one could be better than the other beyond the politics of software. They both use the hosts file, so it's moot.
