Answer 1

According to: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/google-admob-ads-sdk/DkjtCx_Zvn8

Some have had a success by adding android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Translucent" to activity android:name="com.google.android.gms.ads.AdActivity" in the manifest.

I'm rolling out a new version with that fix now. Will see in a couple of days if it helps.
