Anyone else having connection errors with the main Facebook app or even trying to link their Facebook account with other apps like, Ruzzle and FriendCaster? I have tried everything and nothing seems to work. It's just odd...
Sounds like a Facebook error. Also more info would be nice like rom

Sorry about that. I posted this in the ROM thread but I don't think it's ROM related.
ROM: [Rom] AOKP(Jellybean 4.1.2) | Task650 & Ktoonsez (12/2)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574718
Happens to me also. I'll just be scrolling through facebook, and the "connection error" bar will come down even though I have a perfectly good connection. It won't load anything new until the app is killed and restarted. And then it's only a matter of time before it happens again. I'm going to go ahead and blame it on the app.
It's not the ROM. It's been happening on my gnex, nexus 7, and my wife's HTC one S. ****ty app is ****ty.

Excellent. At least we have come to the conclusion that it's Facebook and not the ROM or my phone. I guess we'll just have to keep harassing Facebook until they finally so something...
did you guys modify hosts file to block ads? I did that and had connection trouble with some sites/apps. I couldnt pinpoint the entry so I just cleared it. just a thought.

Wow that was literally my problem! I use AdAway, disabled ad blocking, and Facebook works beautifully now...! Let me see if I can mess with the files to not block Facebook. Thank you!
no prob.
for anyone else, be sure to disable the blocking (meaning, clear the hosts of entries) instead of just uninstalling. uninstalling adaway while its still enabled leaves the host filled with all the adblocking lists. they should change that.

I'd rather not disable my adblocker... I'll see if I can figure out what's causing it. Maybe not though, as I haven't had any trouble at all recently. Perhaps the hosts were updated to account for this.

I still have AdAway blocking, I just had to uncheck graph.facebook.com. Don't know why they would want to block Facebook. I emailed the developer to see if there was any more Facebook restrictions.
Hi!
I can't connect to the new services of Google Play Games with any games, I tried SuperStickMan Golf 2 and some more and all are left with a white screen (loading) until the sign in fails ("unknown error" for example).
I have Hangouts running (that use the newest version of Google Play Services) and a Google+ account linked to the google phone account.
Have a International rooted Galaxy Note 2 with Android Revolution v17.
Anyone else with this problem?
Thanks
EDIT: A Wipe Data and flashing new ROM (Wanam) fixed the problem temporarily.
But right now I still can't access any other game. Only StickManGolf is still working with Google Play Games functions, although I clear data WTF!!
And the worst is that I find no information about this problem
This wont help at all but im running wanam's n7105 version of his rom on my phone and i logged in successfully with riptidegp and world of goo and i didnt have hangouts installed but i did install the game service from android headlines. So they do work i guess

I'm wondering if they are blocking rooted phones from logging in? Cause everyone that I've seen that doesn't have any issues are the people with stock phones.

Same problem here. Rooted stock ROM. This sucks if they blocked rooted phones.

Now the only issue is that I can't invite anyone to play, only random player shows up. But on my girls phone she can invite me and everyone else.
Solved! Thanks for the link.

Finally got a solution if it doesn't let you pick your friends on the player list, I emailed them and they gave me the answer. For some reason the game isn't seeing your circles, but I believe I've found the solution.
First, log in to Google+ on your computer. In the upper left area of the screen you'll see the "Home" button. Hover your mouse over it and a window will slide into view from the left. Select "Settings" at the bottom. Next, scroll down to "Apps" and select "Manage Apps". In the white box, hover your mouse over PBA Bowling Challenge, then click on the Pencil icon that appears to the right to "Edit App". Select "Advanced Connection Settings". A window should pop up showing you all the circles that the game can see, so you can select to add your circles from here. Please note that it might take a little while for the changes on the website to show up in the game.
Heya guys,
I had 4.1.1 till few weeks ago, after I updated to 4.1.2 Wanamlite ALL adblockers I try don't work... I used Adfree before and had 0 Ads in apps.
Now, no matter which one I try I have ads in there.
I had to install another version of adfree which removes only a few ads but not all, I tried adblock plus, adaways, and adfree....
My phone's rooted as usual, i let them acces internet via droidwall...
What is the problem ?
Is there a general change in 4.1.2 hich prevents some ads from being blocked ?
Thanks in advance.
Gram
All should work. What if you turn off droidwall?
Adaway worked for me on 4.1.2 and 4.2.1 leak. I then moved to 4.2.2 aosp and it still works

Heya,
Droidwalls logs are empty, i set things up a year ago so doirdwall isn't it. plus adfree and all the others adblocker apps always have all permissions.
So should I simply try another version other than 4.1.2 or why the hell isn't it working ? *sigh*
If you don't know why its not working, how can you rule out any cause?
Logic says remove as many variables as possible. I asked what happens without droid wall. Did you try it? I ask because you didn't satisfactorily answer the question.
Please rule out droidwall first. Then we talk more.

Adblocker plus (not crapy Play's one) works fine here with AFWall+.
It can't block all adds, only those coming from external add networks, not those natively brought through the application's server (mostly games I guess).

Yeah its the same for me.
I am using the same aps I used to use before 4.1.2, I was using the older version of adfree which was working perfectly. No inapp ads nothing.
Now i had to update the adfree to another version and the inapp ads are not blocked anymore. I mean those built in.... because those aps cannot acces the internet anyways.
The got blocked before I am just wondering why not anymore...

Thanks. If this is from /system/etc (or /etc) then it rules out the apps. Your hosts file has 25000+ entries (more than mine by about 4000)... so it would definitely appear to be a rom issue. The app is doing its job by writing to the hosts file.
I trust it has standard /system permissions?

Hey, yeah prolly... It has root permissions. I was using the older wanam rom, it was working pretty nice....
What I am asking myself is: some ads seem to be built into the ap itself, since i don't allow any of the games or apps i use to connect to the internet. So ofc some ads are always there right ?
But then I realize, hey I was using all those aps before and none of those ads were there before...
What u think, should I change the rom ? can u recommend a good one ? I was pretty happy with wanam tbh...
cheers.

If you can tell me a few games to test for you I can let you know....
Since the hosts file simply blocks web hosts connecting in from the internet, it can't touch ads that are embedded in the game that works when the internet is off. So yeah, anything that still works with no internet cannot be blocked.
When I use touchwiz, I prefer wanam

Alright cool...
First game: Third blade
In this game if u start a level, u get a small banner ad at the center top of the screen. Now, the game is blocked and cannot access internet. yet It has this ad. Here comes the twist though, When I had my sgs+ back 2 years ago, and had adblocker i didnt have that banner ad, so whats deal with that nowadays ? Simply different version ? (upgrade with integrated ads) ?? The sgs+ had 2.3.3 or so...
Second game: Jewels saga
If i start the game now I get this stupid fullscreen ad which I have to press away. I used the same game in 4.1.1 with wanamlite and adaway and dindn't have this ad, so how come after the upgrade, under the same circumstances this ad now appears ? Please check if u get the fullscreen ad at the start..
I deleted a **** load of games so I only have these 2a atm...
Thanks alot.
Sincerely
Gram
There are ads built in to some apps .

I have a rooted Galaxy Mega I recently bough, running stock ROM 4.22. I am upgrading from an original Galaxy Tab 7 (rooted and still running Gingerbread.. working like new).
Like on my Galaxy Tab 7 I installed Adaway on the Mega, but, seems I cant get of any ads at all. All apps display ads even the Mega is rooted and Adaway properly configured. Am I do anything wrong or need special configuration or is there a knows inssue about removing ads with this phone? Any other app that works or workaround for the problem?
Aside from this problem, the Mega is a great phone! Extremely happy
Thanks in advance for sharing any advice and input of this
im having the same problem
its probably the 'webserver' doesnt stay on, the moment you exit adaway its turns off by itself
Add away is working perfectly here. Maybe reinstall and try from the start

Positively does not work. Installedl and uninstalled several times the app (and several versions) and never works.
.. in fact I hear with stock Samsung ROMs & Android 4.22 there are issues with Busy Box that can cause this.. but I also updated my Busy Box and no fix..

My Rom is based on stock and has root and busybox and is adfree, Can you just edit the hosts file?
View attachment hosts.zip This is the actual text file, just rename without .zip and copy to /system/etc, making a backup first.
This is a few days old but one I restored and then updated, I am hoping you can do the same.

OK so goes like this:
Replaced your hosts file. With WIFI, no ads. Using 3G, ads everywhere still. So crazy.. I don't understand..
I have a rooted stock Samsung Rom with AdAway 2.6 installed and have no ads at all. On My Note 2 however, I have found that AdAway doesn't work if I have flashed Crossbreeder.

If Proxy is anything other than Not Set, remove that entry.

It helps them monitor your usage/histroy. Reduces the amount of data they use, doesn't (usually) do anything for you. Glad it's fixed.

In a way yes, but not completely. You are blocking sites and using a proxy bypasses the site address as everything is server from the proxy IP address.
Adaway webserver would remove the ads and then show the page complete, a bit like Opera Mini.
