Help [Solved] Rooted but adverts not blocking over 4G

[The_Ty]

One of the main reasons for me rooting is because of how annoying adverts can be, in both viewing websites and games.

I've tried multiple ad blockers (adblock plus, adfree, ad away) but the same problem happens every time even though I'm rooted. On Wi-Fi ads are blocked just fine, but whenever I switch to mobile data (3G/4G) they keep appearing. All the ad blockers are up to date.

Any ideas guys?

Is it all apps or only some?
Some apps have built-in push services that ad-blockers don't stop. AdAway has a function to scan for these apps so you have the option to remove them.
FWIW I use AdAway, have done so for years on all my Android devices, and never had this problem.

Any apps I've tried so far (loaded up sites in Chrome I know have adverts, a few games too like RGB)

Cheers I'll mess some more with Ad Away.

Noticed something. If I run a VPN app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.freevpnintouch&hl=en) it seems to stop adverts. I'ts not ideal though, I'd rather the ad blocker just stop everything regardless of where I get internet from.

Okay I've been trying AdAway on it's own and it's having the same problem where adverts are only blocked when I'm connected to Wi-Fi. I notice it more when browsing the internet on my phone and adverts keep appearing as though I don't have an ad blocker when using 4G

Okay managed to fix it

Went into the APN settings and there was an option to reset them all to default. Did this and all is working now. No adverts on Wi-Fi or mobile data

Resetting APN worked for me as well
