I have question about admob id.
My admob account has been disabled after voilation of googles terms & conditions, and now it totaly terminated. I have open new admob id on my girlfriend name on different adress and different pc as well as different bank account, I've menitized some apps on using new admob id and it will works fine. So my question is that if I use this admob id for my old apps whrer I had broken the rules of google. It is possible to again they disabled my girlfriend account becouse of same package name, screen shot, icon etc. Or it is better to me to forget earning from my old apps and totaly forget the 100k downloads. Please help
And sorry for my English.
Technically you are not supposed to use anyone else's admob account.
Looks like you already have and its working for you.
For your older app it is not worth taking the risk. You can may be change the ads to be served from FAN (Facebook account network) instead of Admob, which will still give you an opportunity to get value of your older app.

So this is my first Android app. I made a mistake and set up my Admob account as an individual when my App operates under my company. So, after doing the research it appears that once I establish an Admob account I can't change the type (from individual to entity).
So I have to close it and create a new account. But I was wondering if I need to remove all the Admob code from my app before I close the account? Or can I just leave it be and once the account is closed the Admob SDK will just ignore the request to serve an ad since the account would be null.
I don't want to close the account and the activity of Admob searching for an invalid account causing the app to crash. However, I don't want to roll out a whole new app version if I don't have to. I'll have to roll out a new version anyway once I square away a new Admob account.
My gut tells me Admob would just ignore it and not crash the app, but I don't want to assume since my level of expertise it not that high in this area. Any insight would be appreciated.
to my knowledge, if you have caught events in your code like not internet, or failed ads loading, then deleting your Admob account doesn't affect anything, it's just like you wrote the wrong id, your app still works normally
I was doing tests with admob, I innocently linked an existing application in the playstore that is not mine, obviously I was not going to create it, I clicked on the close button but Admob linked the applications.
Obviously I do not have any ad unit, but I can not modify or delete the application to remove in link between that admob app and the playstore app.
Can Admob suspend my account for this error?
Can remove that link between the Admob app and the Playstore app?
You cannot delete an app from your AdMob account, although you can hide it as mentioned here
Admob doesn't have any direct policy about connecting someone else app to your account, so no one can tell you for sure but it's quite improbable that they will suspend your account. And I have this opinion on the base that in the "Adding A Link To Your App" documentation , they have only warned us like this(only):
Make sure you link the correct app. You can't change it later.
I have read somewhere that in earlier Admob version you could delete your app from App Settings page (and that version is still live, but not accessible from the Admob URL, you may search for it)
In the end, I'll say just hiding your app is enough.
I was doing testing of my admob apps, and I forgot to add test device code in a particular activity, and Live ad was displayed on the device. I didn't clicked it though, should i be worried? will i lose my account?
Don't be worried, google was well aware of these type of accidents. If you kept using it on developer mode, will result in a problem of terminating your admob account. Not this type of accidents.
Been in the same situation. Nothing happened.
I understand Admob is getting an overhaul, but I don't see why I can't sign up for an Admob account.
I am using my Gmail account, but when I go to https://apps.admob.com/admob/ a red bar at the top of the page shows up saying "An error has occurred. Refresh the page and try again".
I don't even have Adblock downloaded, as I know that helped some people. Also, my secondary Gmail account seems to be able to proceed on from the first step. I really think I should be using the same Gmail account that is also used for my Android developers account.
I have contacted support and they say simply open an incognito window (and I have done so), and I made sure some of the network certificates are cleared, and that my extensions were disabled.
Any insight would be appreciated. The account will be 18 in less than a month if that helps at all, and I also was about to go through the Adsense process (I don't think I actually sent my application).
An ad blocker can cause this as well. Disable ad blocker and try again.
In your adsense account go to access and authorization section and click on AdMob account and select current account as preferred account.
This may not have been the best place to ask this question but I have seen similar.
Basically, there have been some big revisions to the Admob service, so if you happened to have submitted an application with Adsense, your account may get the error I described above. The best advice I can give is just to contact the Help Center!
I'm searching for a tutorial or an explanation on how to remove advertisement in my application with in-app purchase?
I will put some ads with ad-mob in my app but I also want, that the user can disable the ads when he pays a little donation. Do you know a site or tutorial where I can find a step-by-step explanation how to do this?
Or do I need to publish 2 versions of my app? One with ads and one without ads for paying?
Don't use the SharedPreferences method because if the user flushes the app data or uninstalls/reinstalls your app their ad-free status will be lost.
A couple of ideas:
If your app has any kind of web based login or authorization, you can flag the user as having bought the ad free version by updating the web database's customer data and then disable ads in code following login and verification. This has the added benefit of following the user to new devices.
Use one of the several ways to get a unique device id, and store that in a web server database. On startup, query the DB to see if the device is ad-free. See Android Unique Device ID. This will only work for that particular device though.
The two apps approach is simple enough to get the job done too. :)
This presentation seems to explain an example and includes a link to source code at github:
http://gotocon.com/dl/2011/GeekNights/Tjen_penge_p%C3%A5_Android_ARH.pdf .
It stores the purchased upgrade at a sharedpreference.
However, I'm still looking for a more secure and robust solution that works out the use-case explained here:
