Change your DNS servers in Android.

You can change the same thing on your rooted Android Device.

With root privileges and a terminal app or (adb shell):

root@:/ # ndc resolver flushif -- flushes old DNS servers

root@:/ # ndc resolver flushdefaultif -- flush resolver

root@:/ # ndc resolver setifdns <iface> <domains> <dns1> <dns2> ... -- Add the new servers

root@:/ # ndc resolver setdefaultif -- Set as the default device

I also having problem with dns running 4.3 and 4.4.. Its work when using wifi... But not at 3g..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dJ_Turfie:
I'm having trouble aswell.

I'm rooted, I tried all the apps to change my dns, nothing works.

Btw; 2 months ago the dns on my pc didn't seem to work, it was because my provider switched me to ipv6, So i had to use google ipv6 dns servers.

maybe that's why nothing works on my android 4.4?

Override DNS for KitKat

I created a new app which implements the "ndc" technique. It's called "Override DNS for KitKat" and it's on the Play Store. I added some extra features after taking a look into Android source code, but basically it's on the same path (talking directly with "netd" daemon via sockets.

It works.

I hope it helps.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsandy:
Use this script for root device only, open root explorer, extract file copy to folder init.d, fix permission, reboot, install app to change dns
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lohanchien:
It abosulutelly does work!!! This is the best implementation I have seen. It looks like it re-applies the DNS setting everytime the phone switches towers..

P.S.: This is the only method that worked for me and it is consistent. Applies everytime with no issues.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alter0001:
I developed an app "DNS forwarder". It does not change dns server on system, but forward dns queries to another server. It works fine for me on Kitkat (Nexus 5/4.4.3 and Moto Razr/CM11). Hope it can help other as well.

root@:/ # ndc resolver setifdns <iface> <domains> <dns1> <dns2> ... -- Add the new servers

What should I replace instead of iface and domains?

Using the ifconfig command outputs are various interfaces and in particular:

wlan0

rmnet0

p2p0

to set the dns to google to use when mobile connection, okay this command?

root@:/ # ndc resolver setifdns rmnet0 w w w .google.c o m 8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4 -- (I had to write the domains that otherwise would not let me reply, of course, I wrote all attached)

root@:/ # ndc resolver setdefaultif --

When I give the command

root@:/ # ndc resolver flushif --

the system responds with:

500 0 wrong number of arguments to resolver setdefaultif

While when I give other commands responds with:

200 0 Resolver command succeded

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nacos:
I've just purchased your app from Play and it works like a charm, however, do you think you'd be able to implement another condition like changing the DNS when a certain app gets launched (Netflix) and revert to the original DNS upon exiting that app? Alternatively, a Tasker plug-in would be just as good. Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InsomniacoreDSPS:
I tried to fix the google play store error by using the steps provided online (that seemed to work for most people) and now my phone will not boot past the initial galaxy screen. The screen goes blank and then I see a solid blue LED light at the top left of the phone.

I would like to know if backing up files at this point is possible, because I'm assuming the only true fix is a factory reset.

I was told that android has a built in fail-safe that would still allow me to access the files through a PC via USB. That has not worked for me. My computer shows nothing.

I've tried booting in safe mode, tapping the menu button doesn't do anything.

Any help/advice would be much appreciated. I'm ok with performing a factory reset, I'd just like to back up images and audio files before doing so.

Thanks

After I have succesfull root and unroot my terminal doesn't show any output only error messages. I'm also unable to re-root my device. When I copy psneuter to /data/local/tmp the terminal doesn't give any message nor an error message but psneuter isn't copy. I have verified it by createing in a file in /data/local/tmp and copy it to my sdcard. Gingerbreak doesn't work either and gives error "Couldn't extract asset". I have an orphaned su on my device but it has only user rights. Is there a way I can fix my terminal and re-root my device? Uh!

[General Questions and Answers] Phpdna:
I tried many things I also tried a different terminal app to no avail. The solution was to copy a working busybox. I think toolbox would work, too. My busybox was out-of-order and toolbox was also replaced with busybox! As a result many blobs didn't work and the terminal was black. Su did work because it a standalone applet. Adb push to /data/local/tmp worked, too, but the terminal was black and many applet not working.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheraro:
Since my volume rocker is gone hence couldn't benefit from skip track with volume mod, I was hoping to assign search key to music events like this :

- long clic : play/pause music

- simple clic : play next

- double clic : play previous

is there any mode in keylayout to do so ? also I noticed that AVRCP.kl file in /system/usr/keylayout/ has some potential but I think it's for bluetooth headset.

I'm on GB and xposed for GB is an alternative I think but I wished for a less radical way ...

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sheraro:
yep it's a solution but it doesn't work on screen off and it get triggered while playing on games (for example in media profile the action in n64oid is executed but next/previous is executed too !)

after remapping search key with xposed additions, screen off option don't work either :(

EDIT : ok it worked while off-screen but with home and power key , in xposed additions just enable profile of home and power key in off-screen like this :

Home key (screen off) :

- Clic Action : Power Forced

- Double Clic Action : Media Play/Pause

- Long Press Action : Media Next

Power key (screen off) :

- Clic Action : media previous

- Double Clic Action : Disabled

- Long Press Action : power Forced

I need a way to enable the other keys in screen off but it's a kernel matter
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Xhexus:
I have this problem for a while. I have a samsung galaxy nexus running on this CM : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2405298 . (I had this problem on several CMs). It doesn't connect to pc, doesn't show ip in device manager,my computer etc.. But it does charge. I tried cleaning up the usb port but no difference.

FYI :

Usb debugging activated

Tried with fast charge on/off

Naked drivers

Different cables/usb ports/computers/laptop

It's not a charge-only cable

So... HELP ?!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Xenoism:
You mentioned that this problem has occurred for you on other Roms also? Has it been an ongoing issue, or has there been times where you flashed a new rom, and suddenly the problem stopped and only started again on another Rom? or has it been persistent from rom to rom? It could certainly be the case that your usb port is beginning to go bad...it was a huge problem in the vibrant community once vibrants became about 2 - 3 years old. Since the usb port on our phones receives the most wear and tear, it is a common problem. The early symptoms are usually that the phone will charge just fine, but will not be recognized by the computer for file transfer.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Xhexus:
It persisted from rom to rom. So i'll just have to change the charging port with a new one ? There's no known solution for this :( ?

Over the past few days I have noticed that my D800 will randomly restart. It does it in this way every time...I will go to unlock the phone by double tapping and the front LED will turn white as it is supposed to, then it will just hang there with a black screen until the ATT logo shows again and it boots back into my lock screen.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Deekayy:
Alright here we go.. I purchased this on the 21st and got it today which is not bad considering it came from China. I'm not that great writing a product review so I hope pictures speak louder than words.

I'll just describe the product instead of listing the pros. All around this case is pure plastic, I can't put my thumb on it but it is plastic and screen side (with the window) is flexible (just like the OEM). The window is not glass so it'll be prone to scratches and finger prints. Comparing to the OEM case I feel that the window quality is pretty sturdy because the plastic window doesn't feel cheap when I bend it, tap it, or flick on it. Continuing on the front side, there is a speaker hole so you can listen on to calls. There is a indented quote "design endows product a life" midway below the case. And at the bottom.. yes it a metal button just like the metal design/quality of the home button of the actual phone.

Moving to the side, just like the OEM, there's indented prints for the + and - volume keys. Nothing much else to look here.

On the back, the Baseus logo is indeed metal and has a nice feel when you smooth your finger over it. The camera and lens is kept protected with the case on so it's not protruding out.

Functionality of the S-View: the two metal pins on the back of the case is indeed for the control of the sleep and awake feature for the phone. So when I close/open the S-view, it will awake or sleep and will show the regular OEM functions (i.e. S-View slide to unlock, camera, action memo, and music player shows up).

Cons:

three things that bug me about this case. Metal button in the front (really?), as you can see in the photos the case does not fully close all the way (won't bother me as much because the sleep function will works), and since it's flexible plastic I feel that the flap (the side plastic) overtime will wear out and rip.. well that just normal wear and tear of products.

Overall I'm actually very satisfied with this product. I didn't want to purchase the OEM S-view case and sought better alternatives for the S-view cases. I found this and I'm truly again satisfied. Try it guys.. for $20 it's worth it. It comes in different colors (I didn't find full colors, only two-toned). Let me know if you guys are getting it!!

Sorry of the pictures are showing up side ways, I'm not sure why it is. (pictures taken with Note 2)

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Adrozz07:
In your pictures it looks as though when laid on its back the front cover holds open slightly. Is the hinged portion of the case a soft material that possibly could break in over time?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Deekayy:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Baseus-PU-L...Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=&hash=item27daa9b23b

Like I said in the description. The case opens out a little bit, but after a day use of it, the case gotten use to being closed completely in my pocket and now it's closed all the way now. And like I said before, I can't find the specific name for the quality, but it's flexible plastic and from what I'm seeing the cover inside material is fabric so I wouldn't think the hinge will rip that easily.

What play store error were you trying to fix and what exactly did you do to try and fix it?

It sure sounds like you've managed to wipe the internal memory clean. If so your only hope is to use Odin to restore it back to stock. If it works it'll work great but you will lose everything on the phone. Though again it really sounds like you have nothing on the phone.

The only other thing to try would be using Odin to flash a recovery. Then boot into recovery and see if you can back up the data partition. If that works you can use the recovery to reinstall a ROM.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] InsomniacoreDSPS:
The error I kept getting said "insufficient storage space available."

I had over 3 gigs of space left on my phone's internal memory.

I tried all of the obvious stuff before even seeking help online (clearing cache, making sure the system memory wasnt taken up).

Anytime my phone would attempt to update an app it would fail and remove the app entirely. Amazon Mobile was the first to go. It's only a 5Mb app and it said I didn't have enough storage space...yet I could download a 100Mb app I didn't already have and it would work fine.

I tried online suggestions like removing my google account from my phone, reverting the app store back to the stock version, re-adding the google account, then rebooting, and then my phone stopped working.

I'm pretty sure I know exactly what caused my phone not to be able to boot anymore though. Some people online had success using a google play store market fix app that is on the play store itself (not some sketchy site no one's ever heard of). I tried that, then when I rebooted it seems like my phone was bricked. A lot of people had said that app worked for their GS4's.

Any suggestions? I wish I could just reinstall android, get the files, then restore to factory conditions (if necessary).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
I still have no idea what this problem is that you were trying to fix. I have never heard of this.

Still, using Odin to restore your phone to stock will work. Just flash the .tar file in Odin and it will be like you just took the phone out of the box.

Sent from your phone. You should be more careful where you leave that thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] InsomniacoreDSPS:
The number error that came up with apps failed to update was error 923, which is a pretty common one people had trouble with. I tried every solution I could find, and this is what happened :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
I wanna help you. I really do. But I can't do anything without knowing the step by step details of what you did to get to this point.

Without that info there is no way to help you back out of thsi without a full wipe. So you are stuck with using Odin to do a full restore.
