sometimes it helps...if you disable wifi & mobile data while playing games... the ads go away

If you experience blocking not to work on 3G but to work well on Wifi it could be related to the APN settings that changed when you upgraded from GB to ICS. If the APN has a proxy and a port set, just delete them. This worked for me using AdAway
Just forgot: here AdAway Issue 172 is some more information.
Try adaway available in the play store, it works perfectly.

Something that alerts me when which application wants to go out
Thank You please

+1 for DroidWall. It has the added benefit of blocking ads in a particular app if you decide to not allow it access to the network.
However, I should say that it doesn't EXACTLY do what you are asking. It allows you control as to what apps may or may not access the network, either via 3g, WiFi, or both. As far as I know, it doesn't tell you when one of the apps you allow access to the network actually does.
If you want something that asks you to allow/deny, try this
ps this was the 3rd result for android firewall, the first 2 being droid wall, just saying everything is out there google and you shall find.
Edit: well it seems twitter brought the company behind whispermonitor and thus all the downloads have disappeared, I will try to find an apk.
Edit2: it seems that whispermonitor only worked on the nexus S and one other phone, shame it looked promising.
Your best bet is droid wall, there is also Pdroid but it needs a rom patch.
Thank you
Will try your recommend solution

Well i did some more reading about it, and its more of a whole rom/rom mod than an apk file and it was only compatible with the nexus S and Desire I think.
Droidwall is your best bet.
Avast firewall do better than droidwall, it really alert you if any apps trying to make an connection on yhe the background, but avast is big app that come with antivirus protection which seems to be useless for android os so far.

Droidwall doesn't work on Samsung Galaxy S2. I use ICS v4.0.3 and it is rooted!

hi
if i use wifi no ads in xda free app. if i use data-3g i got ads. i push host file in etc folder and used adfree app but no luck.
pls a solution.

Buy the premium app.
The XDA app was probably developed by someone in their free time. If you don't want to look at ads in the free version, the least you can do is chip in a buck or two to whoever developed it and buy the premium app.
Quite simple, navigate to Play Shop, search for XDA PREMIUM, click buy! Voila, you now have no ads in XDA app

Could be the wifi router you are connected to when you are not getting ads has a firewall active, that is blocking the ad server.
pissyhun, are you still on krinyo's SlimROM? Or are you trying to push his hosts file to another ROM. That's what I want to do when I try AOKP, but have to research first - never done it before.

This thread is hilariously inappropriate in so many ways
FWIW, I have xda premium. My slightly OT question to the OP is regarding installation of hosts file, nothing else. Adfree doesn't work that well for me.
Adaway works better than adfree, the question could have been phrased better though.

For those that didn't see this till recently (like myself) this hulu apk will work on our phone. You will have to uninstall hulu first if you already have it installed.

Lets me log in, go to load a vid, Buffers forever, says it appears you are having network issues Please wait or try again later. I'm on my wifi at home, not 2 feet from my router, have full bars on my network, can stream from everything else, but this buffers endlessly.

Using Saurom Rom, not the 7.1 but the one before it. It's funny, because it worked on my Tmobile HD2, before it broke, dual booting android and windows 6.5.

Ad blocking will generally cause this issue. If you have ad blocking on your phone try disabling it or adding the ad urls to the whitelist of your ad blocking software.
I am on an ICS rom and running AdAway with "ads.hulu.com" and "p.hulu.com" added under "Your Lists", the "WHITE" tab...

Thanks for the reply, I'm still on a Gingerbread RoM, but I'm not sure where to even check for any ad blocking apps, I looked in settings, manage applications, don't see anything of that sort, Where would I even check for ad blocking?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Does the app called Ad-free work on blocking the ads in Pandora? If not does someone know how to this? I will be taking a road trip for a few days and these ads annoy me.
Highly doubt it, but there are a lot of modified Pandora apk's out there if you google it that are altered to remove ads and give unlimited skips.

Sign up for a free account on 4shared. Search Pandora and there you will find a Pandora apk that is unlimited skips and ad free.

Google decided to remove all adblocking software from play store, as they are in conflict with market rules.
Where can we find those adblock softwares from now on?
Sorry for my bad english... there are boud to be some grammar errors, since I haven't had any practise in months...

You can use Pimp My Rom to install the AdBlock feature it is in the Apps&Mod section of the app
Hey if you are rooted you can use rom tool box, it has a ad blocker in it hope this helps.
