Journal Trax3001BBS's Journal: Prevent almost all ads from your cell phone (no HOST)

The back story: Taken from the ToS of Rivio.com (angry birds):
All of the data collected from you is sold to Flurry.com (was Google now comes from Yahoo.com - robtex.com will show all), Flurry.com takes that data mixing it with what they have; sending it out to you as target ads.

Your able to opt out of flurry.com, and in my case now have almost zero ads coming in, the only exception is from the application your using. I've done this with ever cell phone I've owned and even a Xoom tablet (Android).

How: Goto Google Play Store and download "Device info" the one your looking for is a green circle with a small i in the middle (by:jphilli85). Install this free and ad-less program; It will show as a green ID on your screen; open it up and grab the very first number (Secure. ANDROID_ID).

Now: Google: flurry.com opt out - on that screen are pages of text mentioning what a good thing they are, a few screen down is a place to input your type of phone and a spot to paste the number ID gave you.

After inputing the number you will be told it's successful by telling you it will take a few weeks to get the number into the system.

And your done, enjoy.
