hey all. so i just noticed when opening some apps, not all, i get a bar on the bottom of my screen that flashes different advertisements. For example when i open advanced task killer on the bottom is a bar with a little blue colored "g" , i'm assuming google, and it flashes different advertisements accross my screen.. anyone know how to get rid of it?

uninstall the app. ads = how devs are able to put apps out for free. Deal with it, bro. You can however get rid of ads within the web browser by using an app....

There's an app in the Market called adfree.

You can also edit your hosts file.. but you need to be rooted.

+1 for adfree

I'd rather pay the small fee required by some developers than waste my bandwidth displaying ads

Bandwidth that could be better allocated towards what I'm currently doing, OR not allocated at all saving the tiniest bit of battery life. With the EVO, every bit counts, literally; puns and all.
