Hi all,
I hope someone can assist me with an issue I'm having.
Like two weeks ago, I started seeing the websites I visit getting randomly redirected to a Adobe Flash clone website asking me to update my flash player. In a way that is harmless as soon as I press the back button and don't download their fake apk, but it is starting to get annoying. First the address in the address bar changes to tracevisit.com/files/smsp-2.html then it goes to flowinstall.com.
Is there any way to know which app is causing those redirects?
Thanks in advance!
Yes, it's happens in different browsers on my phone, and it's annoying.

Thanks but...
Thanks for the answer erdal67, I already had Adblock but it didn't solve the issue as I am dealing with a url redirect, not ads on a page.
Say I want to access XDA on Chrome, the site opens, then there is a chance that it will be redirected to the site cited before (tracevisit), which will then redirect to the Adobe Flash player clone site.

Clear cookies (don't allow them)
wipe data of that app (Chrome etc. )
Disable Java script, if possible

In ad block ,there's a option to disable redirects. Give it a try. I guess some app, which is having permissions to your browser is doing this.

I'll try this out and let you know in a day or so after confirmation. Cleared cache, cookies, and disabled JS too. Will be waiting for a result. Thanks!
EDIT: it did work, I also used the Pimp My Rom app to block redirects. It did not help me find the app causing the issue, but no more redirects for me!

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.

Well I am starting this Thread for users to add useful APPs that they have found to improve their Nook hd and hd plus tablets. Here is the download
amazon market, Adobe Flashplayer. Feel free to add your own that way we don't have to Google our hands off searching for every little APK to improve our tablet.:good:
Seriously you guys can add apps at anytime just by hitting reply I found those two, now if you guys have any other apps that you find useful feel free to add them so other people can find them useful as well.

I don't understand what you are getting at, I have sideloaded 25+ apps on my Nook HD and I havent had a problem yet?
Are you asking people to post working .apks? Cause thats a long, long list...
I just use Astro File manager (anything that backs up apps would work) on my phone, drag the .apks to my computer and sideload them via adb to my Nook HD... Takes a little longer than downloading .apks from some site, but this way they are directly from the play store.
Ok That's great that you have found a way to easily install apk files to your nook, yes, my intention was to get a long list of apps that work nook that way future users don't have to scour the internet searching for apps. I understand your point, I know some people don't see the logic in helping others, I get that. I am sorry you don't understand good natured intent.

I did not mean any discontent, I just thought it would be a long list of apps to post all working apps. Maybe we should post not working apps instead... We should assume that most apps will work.

Yeah most apps that I've tried worked except for a handful. Even though the market sometimes says device isn't compatable I download them from another source and the run fine most of the time. List would be neater with apps that don't work for it.

You may have a good point there, also if the latest version of an app doesn't work see if we can try older versions to see if those work sometimes older versions can be compatible while newer versions are not.

Nice idea, should save time, LOL, I just put flash on my HD, if I'd have seen this thread earlier it would have been easier and quicker.
adventures of tintin doesn't wrk on nook hd+
I side loaded it' it opens up and then says device isn't compatible. Any suggestions?
What do you mean by "side loading" because side loading means using ADB to push install apk files. You have to have your nook rooted, and have flashed the zip that gives you the ability to install from unknown sources. If you are trying to flash it, through CWM, that won't work on this tablet. All you have to do is install it as you would any other apk file that you have downloaded no need to "side load"

Hi, I have never used comixology but from what i understand it tries to do specialized zooming from panel to panel as you said, I am not sure if it is preset by the authors or if it tries to use a algorithm to decide it, anyway non of that really matters, no manga watcher just show full pages on screen and you can choose zoom width, zoom height, of zoom page. it also has the option for dual pane in landscape. I will say it is one of the smoothest comic readers i have used almost as good as komik. Again thoughit doesn't do any speical zooming from panel to panel and i honestly think that might be choreographed by a person on comixology.

Hmm, this seems strange, as I'm getting this "1buy.com" homepage on my browser. Changing it to Google works, but after a few hours it resets itself. I did several scans using Avast and Lookout to no avail.

There are lots of malware that avast or lookout fails to find. Did you install any suspicious apps or 'cracked' apps?

None if I'm not mistaken. I already removed several apps on my device, still the problem remains.
Try searching for an app with a name related to "online search provider" in the apps manager and then disable it to test if the browser goes back to normal.
I did this and it worked with my Chinese Sh*t Tablet.

Greetings
I have a Xperia Sola and after the update 4.0.4 stock browser and optional chrome that i use has serious issues,
stock browser take too much time to load any site that i put (i dont mention heavy load sites that dont load at all)
but the sme happens to chrome, i cant find a solution or any trick.
Anyone has the same issue? Thanks for reading.
Try dolphine browser in the play store
Is it possible your phone or internet is too slow, stock browser is faster than chrome for me
Sent from my LT22i using xda app-developers app
You means now both Chrome and Stock browsers load site slowly?
If that's the case then maybe your internet connection is slow.
To check your internet speed, try downloading a file, and see what speeds you are getting.
Alternative browsers : Lightening Browser ( based on Stock), Mozilla Firefox

Internet connection isnt problem because i tried in multiple wifi spots and its the same. This happened after the the update to the latest version.
Are there any other apps that run fine with internet??
That'll help determine whether the problem is with those browsers only or ROM in general..

I guess you have DNS cache problem (and that probably occured if you didn't wipe cache/data, dalvik etc... after update to ICS).
You should try to manually insert DNS server parameters (best to use google --> 8.8.8.8 or 4.4.4.4 or 8.8.4.4)
Or try some of modding apps to make your DNS working again - that will required *ROOT*
Post here what happened, good luck!

Orbot has the option to use root to route ALL network traffic through Orbit. Definitely a good app.
I also use DroidWall for some protection on public networks, like really untrusted networks, what I'll do is disable connections from all apps except what I want to do (eg. Chrome browser).
Both apps are free from Play Store, you should check them out.
