Unable to See Ads - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I don't know if this is a hyperdrive setting I cannot find or some reject of rooted phones or what but whenever I am in any browser (stock, mozilla,. Puffin, dolphin) if I click on one of the ads at the top of a search list (bing, google, doesn't matter which search engine) I cannot connect to the ad. I get the message below. It's like some sort of ad blocker is engaged but I don't know where or how to shut it off. Please help if you can. Thanks!

I ended up running an app called adblock unblocker and it seems to do the trick.

I tweeted vzw asking about the new lte band coverage in my area. they tweeted back a link with the map. i couldn't open it because it is considered an ad. I did want to open it. When I specifically try to open a link I don't want it to be blocked. Blocking. pushed ads is great. Ads within apps I ignore anyway. No need to block an ad I want to open.

Do not pay attention to this if you have stock samsung 4.3.
Some app you installed gives you really annoying ads. Think about what you installed lately and un install it.
Edit: install some free antivirus and check your phone.

This happened from today morning..I uninstalled all programs that I installed for past 2 days..and tried all kind of anti virus possibilities(I.e trust go, avast, lookout and avg pro) they all say my phone has no virus..even checked with lookout ad detector still no hope the ad shows every time I turn my phone on plus the bad thing is when I press my lock key the phone doesn't lock(as if I didn't set any security level)..well thanks for your response I formated my phone now everything seems to be going well

Did you try "ads push detector" or similar app?
Yes I tried Ad detector, Airpush Ad detector and Trustgo Ad detector non of them gave me a clue to the problem

Here you go people. Tell them how it is. Especially for those of us that are locked down and out by our carriers. Tell them to start standing up for us, the good guys.

Might be a bad idea. They may take it down.

Somebody should create the Samsung Note 5 complaint app

Good for them if they do. Why back down from an idiot because they might do something? We can always find ways to bombard them with a fire storm of emails, calls and whatever we can. So, on that note. Pun intended. Start the fire storm. ?

Why yes, yes, some body should create an app. But, it will not be this guy. As I have not ever created one.

Google notifications

I was wondering if anyone can help me with this. Every once in a while I get a pop up notification from Google. Opening it, it directs me to Google settings. Is it telling me I need to change something? I didn't think so. Everything seems to be working fine. More annoyingly, I can't swipe it away. It seems the only way to get rid of it is to reboot the phone. Can anyone enlighten me as to what's going on here?
Thanks very much for any help & here is screen shot of what I'm talking about.

Thanks very much for that. Narrowing it down to something to do with Nova launcher is a start at least. I'll research further. It's still very annoying though!

Hmm I occasionally get this pop up when I say ok Google from the lock screen with ok Google always on enabled. It appears for a couple of seconds then goes away, I thought it was to say Google now is recording audio?

Software update available. Tap to install new software.

Day 2 with my S5 and after I was able to root/safestrap/bb on version OK3 - 5.0
this notification does not go away
its like it wants me to force install pretty sure this is the verizon 6.0.1 update I read about?
either way I do not want to loose my root privileges, or all my data took me all day to migrate apk+data to this phone
anyway to disable this from showing or what do I do now...

Yeah. I knew it could be disabled somehow, but didn't know the name of the app.
TiBackup saved my ass so many times.
still not happy with the phone, but I didn't have to pay full retail for it so its whatever. better than my last handset for sure tho.

Is there any reason to use Secure Folder instead of MyKnox?
Thanks!

I personally think it's a more streamlined version of MyKnox. Also, you can't see which apps are there unless you unlock the folder, so that's an added layer of privacy.

secure folder issue
Secure folder is now available at the Galaxy App store for the S7 with nougat. I installed it from there and it immediately crashed Pixel launcher. There was something in TOS about it not liking custom ROMs. I installed it on T-Mobile non rooted S7 edge. Uninstalled it due to it crashing the Pixel launcher.
