One day it will be quantity Vs quality (Android Vs iOs).
Nope, the inbuilt ads will still try to access and consume the resources.
Without ads, Android apps could be more than twice as power-efficient!!

yes but firewall can block them
OP
Mate, the firewall will just block "network access", it won't stop the threads from doing their task. Let me explain, you can stop automatic updates of an antivirus, but can't the program itself to "attempt" that.
Take it like, if there doesn't exits any tower then does the phone stops searching from network, given that you don't change automatic mode. (there is no manual mode in apps)

^Explain your question pls ?
What he means is, are the ads built into apps or hosted somewhere else..??
Well, it works just like google adwords in your webpages. You just need to put the script, google will automatically put ads.
Otherwise there are many apps for which authors make ads as static, what I mean is, they provide ad for some other apps of them.

ah crap. i mean ads. sorry. big typo. googled a bit but this query is unanswered.
thanks krishnandu
thanks krishnandu
OP
Of course the ads are in built as a part of that app, just consider it a feature. And why you can't remove it? Can you remove a feature of any app until and unless you edit its source code? (don't say resource hacker)
This.
This.

@Sam It's ok.
@dashing.sujay Well we can block ads using Adblock. The idea behind it is same as in PC. Adding the ads URL to hostsfile so that they don't get connected to Internet.
But static ads will work in that case. Those can't be blocked I guess.

The whole (most) point is of static ads only.

LOL, crap... damn Spelling mistakes. I meant 'renowned', but whatever.
On another note, there are many who are in favor of having a app submission process like Apple App Store ( 2 week submission time for even an update )
but I support the current process. Though Google should review the apps internally more frequently.
Most 'Ad Services' provide a special type of view and support library ( a .jar file mostly) which can be used to add the view in your app and it automatically calls ads with respect to your API key which you get when registering with the service. So they are not essentially part of your app. Run in a separate thread. I haven't used one so far but this is what I know for this.
