Failed to load ad: 3, No fill from ad server.

[Dota Pickassisst]

Hey guys!
Some time ago (about a month) my ad stopped working. It is a simple banner ad. Now I am trying to fix this, but nothing seem to help!
Here is my relevant code.

in layout:

            <com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView
                android:id="@+id/MyAdView"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                ads:adSize="SMART_BANNER"
                ads:adUnitId="ca-app-pub-xxx/xxx" >
            </com.google.android.gms.ads.AdView>

in activity:

        AdView MyAdView = (AdView)v.findViewById(R.id.MyAdView);
        AdRequest.Builder adRequestBuilder = new AdRequest.Builder();
        MyAdView.loadAd(adRequestBuilder.build());

manifest:

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>

this is the error I get:

Ads: No fill from server.
Ads: Failed to load ad: 3

I read somewhere that error code 3 means my account or my app is suspended or blocked from the ad network for some reason. But my app is still in the appstore, I see nothing such information on the admob page of my account (or is there some hidden special site where I can check?). I also checked google.com/adsense in the policy-violations section, all with no entries..
Any help?

Hi there,

The error - Ads: No fill from server. simple means that there is no create to fill for the given Ad Unit ID. It could be due to several reasons and I would suggest you to look at removing any specific targets that you might have or add in more ad sources if you are using mediation to serve your ads. Try and create a new Ad Unit ID and see if that works for you. 

If you feel that there the issue still persists, feel free to reach out to the folks at AdMob Product Support Team.

Thanks,

Hello,

I have the same problem, but on ios I use the same tag and receive an ad, only in android I get no fill with error code 3, so this is probably not something which relates to the tag configuration...

Any idea?

Thanks,

Tal

Hi there,

Would you mind sending us your Ad Unit ID(you can do so by replying to me privately)? Are you trying to use Banner or Interstitials? Do you have any custom device or any advanced targets? Have you tried to load using our sample app? 

Thanks,

Hello,

My ad unit ID is /85580378/tal_a , trying to use banner on different sizes as described in the documentation for banner /smart banner, but only height 50 or 100 is working. When trying to use a different height, like 32 or 90, which suppose to be supported by smart banner, I get no fill. Tried also other sizes, and same result, while in ios I always get a fill.
I don't have any custom device or any advanced targets, and not familiar with the sample app - can i test with it tags?

Thanks,
Tal

Hi Tal,

Thank you for the Ad Unit ID but we are unable to load any ads. Would you be able to check with your Technical Account Manager(TAM) just to ensure that everything is properly set up? You can also contact DFP Support for this if you do not have a TAM.

[Tal Abraham]

Hi Veer,

 

My TAM say that the tag is OK, I also checked it in my application and it works in ios for all sizes, and in android when the requested height is 50 or 100. Seems like when we request a different height, basically using the SMART_BANNER option, it doesn't work on android only.

In case you still can't get any ad using this tag, I have another example.

Today I was playing with another tag, which includes a creative for height 50 only.

When I use this tag and request different height, for example 200, in ios I get "Ad Failed, reason: no fill".

In Android, instead of Ad Failed, my override of the "OnAdLoaded" is being executed, and when I investigate the returned ad size I see 360x50, when I requested 320x200 (320 is the screen width). As a result, nothing is being shown in the application.

Tag is "/85580378/Jpost_AND_PH_BA_RP_Bottom_320x50".

 

I verified I am using latest version of the SDK.

 

Can you please check this out?

 

Best regards,

Tal

Hi Tal,

I have tested using your Ad Unit ID and I was able to receive Smart Banners (320x50) on an Android device. From what I understand you need to have the proper creatives and set all of the AdSizes that you would like to use. If you have not set the AdSizes, then there would be no fills. Please confirm that you have all of your AdSizes properly set and then try to load them. 

[Tal Abraham]

Thanks Veer,

Yo are correct, but the problem is that when I try different sizes than 50, I don’t get no fill, but rather a fill with strange size, which causes my application to think that there is a banner to present and eventually causing white rectangle to appear:

My question is why I don’t get no fill when I ask for a size which the tag don’t have a creative for?

Again, this issue occurs only on android, in iOS I get no fill and everything is OK.

Regards,

Tal

[Veer Arjun Busani(Mobile Ads SDK Team)]

Hi Tal,

I have tried to set Banner AdSizes other then 50 and I have been receiving no fills all the time. So it seems like everything is working as expected. Would you mind confirming me with this sample app?

[phoc...@gmail.com]

Hello,

    I think I have the same issue;

    I used the firebase-ads version of 9.0.0; Only on certain devices, the banner ad always failed to load with errorCode 3;

  And I also tried the sample app, only the test banner showed up; My Unit ID won't work in the sample app either;

[Joshua Lagonera (Mobile Ads SDK Team)]

Hi there,

There are a lot of factors in play that may have caused you to receive a No Fill Error Code: 3. However, seeing as this thread is around a year old, I would suggest that you create a new thread further describing your issue and we will assist you from there.

Hello there,

Thanks for reaching out to us. Can you please share your Ad unit Id along with the complete device logs using "Reply Privately to Author" for us to take a look? You would have to make sure that you enable test device while testing. When you are publishing your app, you can remove the .addTestDevice from the Ad Request and you would be able to see live ads once the app is live. Sometimes, no fill may occur when there is no ad in your inventory to be served.

Hello Baltazar,

Thank you for sharing your Ad unit Ids. I was able to load ads with our sample apps without any issues. Have your tried with our sample apps using your Ad unit Ids? This will help you to rule out the possible issue with your Package name. Please make sure that you are on the latest verison of the SDK and try with our sample apps and let us know if you are able to load ads.

I made one testing app, on which at several places I put "admob view". But I am able to get ads at only one place. Rest everywhere I am receiving Error code 3.
Please help me to resolve this.
According to Google Doc, Error code 3 is lack of ad inventory. But I don't understand how Google can show this error code when it is successfully loading ads on the home screen of the same app.

Hello Bhanu,

Thank you for reaching out to us. Are those newly cerated Ad unit Ids? Are you able to load ads with those Ad unit Ids using our sample apps? Can you please share the code snippets of your implementation, your Ad unit Ids, and complete device logs for us take a look?

Hello Bhanu,

Thanks for sharing. Please note that I have masked the Ad unit Ids as you have posted them on public forum. If you want to share your Ad unit Ids with us in furture, please use "Reply Privately to Author" option. That said, I was able to load ads with your Ad unit Id with Test Ad label without any issues using our sample apps. To see the Test Ad label, you need to be using an SDK version of 11.6.0 or later. Can you please confirm the SDK version you are testing this on? Also, can you test it on a real device?

Hello Bhanu,

You are seeing intermittent fills which means that there should be an issue with the Ad serving with the Ad unit Ids. I don't see any issues with your Ad unit Ids and I would suggest that you reachout to AdMob Help Forum or you can reachout to the Product Support Team via this troubleshooter so that the Ad serving team will assist you further.

Hi,

I am also facing the same issue. I have developed my application in flutter. The test placeholder shows but ads do not show when I use my app-id and ad unit id from admob. I also tried the sample-apps with my ad unit id. I registered my device as test device, test ads are showing on the device but when I remove the code for invoking test ads, then no ads are displayed. I even published my app on play store hoping that ads might start appearing once I publish the app on play store. But that didn't happen so I had to unpublish it for now. Please help me out with this. 

Thanks
