Why are ads suddenly showing up? - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have adaway installed and it has been working fine. Suddenly, this morning, ads started appearing in apps although adaway is still functional and up-to-date. Anyone knows what's going on? I'm on NB4.

I'm on version 2.8 with no ads showing. I'm on NB4 as well.Maybe uninstall and reinstall. Just a suggestion.

First off are you still rooted? Secondly update it and restart the phone.

I'm rooted and I have updated and rebooted, but it didn't work.

Anyone using Hulu Plus on the Galaxy Exhibit?

Just started a Hulu Plus trial, downloaded the app on my phone but it says video playback is not supported on my phone, and they are working on supporting more phones,etc. Netflix works fine on the Galaxy Exhibit for me. Anyone using Hulu Plus? I'm wondering if it's infact a device incompatibility or the fact that I'm using the SlimBean Jellybean ROM.
It could just be because you are rooted, I can't use flixster because I am rooted

What kind of nonsense is that? Why does the rooted/custom mod allow apps to check if it is rooted or not, can't we fool the app to think it is not rooted?
What other apps do not run when you are rooted?
I got a Galaxy S3 last week, and rooted it. Hulu Plus works just fine on it. Just thought it was interesting.

Timewarner cable live tv app does not work on rooted devices unless you rename superuser.apk to something else and delete test-keys from ro.build.tags= in build prop. Then reboot. Maybe you can try it for other apps?
now if only there was a way to watch web only on mobile

Try going to settings application manager and clearing cache & app data and see if that helps

Same issues are happening over on the T-Mobile Note 3's also. My magazine randomly force closing. clearing cache and app data seems to help but then the problem comes back. I think the software on the N3 is not quite stable yet, give it a few updates before it's all good.
Cleared cache will report back later, so is this a common issue?

I tried deleting the APK's (by the way there are two APK's for this app) and that caused unfortunately TW home has stopped message to pop up every time I hit the home button. Even trying to freeze the app caused this issue.

It's a part of touchwiz. That's why when you freeze it or delete it you get the FC issues. Why the hell they did that, no clue because flipboard is available in the playstore.

I only encountered wifi problem once. After rooting my phone, I couldn't access play store but it was easily fixed by rebooting the phone. In regards to your issue, I think it might be your wifi connection. Play store does have issues every now and then but not right now.

Not sure why but today I spotted getting text notifications. Previously all was fine so not sure why. Hopefully some clever soul will help us both.

Try getting the latest updates for both the gear and manager (via SamsungApps). Worst case scenario if you already have the latest, is reseting the watch and clearing the application data for Gear manager from Settings/General/Application Manager

gear needs to have lock screen enabled on your phone cant be set to none. At least swipe in order for notifications to be pushed, had the same problem fixed mine
Seems to only work with the stock messaging app too. I was using handcent and was wondering why I couldn't get the notifications well I turned off all the notifications on that app and when my phone was in screen lock then I would get them. Email needs to be set auto get mail what ever interval you want not manually. And again in lock screen seems to work for me anyway.

That doesn't help I wiped the data under app managers, gear manager and reseted my gear from the gear itself then gear manager app still nothing I have swipe enabled no 3rd party messaging apps. Again I'm not rooted.

Youtube Force Closing

If this has been covered, I can't search from my phone using Web (keeps refreshing when I use search box), and this app isn't showing me anything.
My YouTube keeps crashing for some reason within the past couple hours. It was working fine up until then. I have tried uninstalling & reinstalling, rebooting phone, all with no luck.
I am running stock rooted 4.3 with SS recovery, and don't have the Xposed YouTube ad blocker which I know has caused recent problems. I also haven't made any system changes or app installations.
