VPN Troubles

Anyone running the google play rom have vpn problems?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddxv:
My VyprVPNs connect but there isn't really any data sent afterwards. My StrongVPN account works occasionally. Neither are as good as on the computer. Make sure you're using PPTP, StrongVPN recommends unchecking the encryption as it's 'buggy' or something.

Also, Liantong/China Unicom in Beijing seems to constantly change connections, which naturally disconnects the VPN.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpijiu:
I've tried setting up both PPTP and L2TP/IPSec PSK connections, both fail immediately when trying to connect. The Astrill client app fails horribly. It's unable to link libraries ("libstlport_shared.so" is too small to be an ELF executable). It worked on the stock rom...
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddxv:
Yeah, the original rom this is based on was an older / original version of Shohat's rom.

There are now dozens of roms on the chinese sites, no doubt a fairshare are from xda, but probably less buggy than the one you chose

More Roms:

Any news?

Hi guys, this G9006V is doing my head in! So restricted and not functioning well. :(

Would love to turn it into an international/Oceania version, not sure if that would work though.

Haven't even been able to root it, everytime it doesn't work.

I realise with the newness of the phone it can take a while for these things to be developed. Anyone have any good suggestions that they've used? I need my Google account/apps/Play store!

Cheers! Good luck with your phones.

Yea.. about this link, tried several times from New Zealand and it cut out around 800MB. Most frustrating especially since it said it would only take an hour to download initially (ie, not that slow). So can't even try this even if I did manage to CWM my S5!

I've installed Lidroid, and it is a lot better. Everything on the phone seems to work now.

Except ...

I no longer have a data connection on my China Unicom SIM. I tried the SIM in my old S2 and have data, so it's definitely not the SIM card. The settings in the phone are as follows :

Mobile Data : set

Data roaming : not set (as I am in China on China Unicom SIM)

Network Mode : Auto (CHN-UNICOM)

Mobile Network Type : HSPA

Service State : In Service

Mobile Network State : Disconnected

Mobile Networks : Mobile Data : Checked

Network Mode : WCDMA/GSM (auto connect) I have also tried LTE/WCDMA/GSM (auto connect) but still the same problem.

Network Operators : Available Networks - Select Automatically

I have no idea what the problem could be?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddxv:
This got me curious enough to switch over to lidroid.

Figured out your problem. During the install process when choosing the Customer Service Customization make sure to set it to CHN. When I went through the first time I chose ENG thinking it was a language option but then also had no data, so I reinstalled and chose CHN and was rewarded with data. Thus when you turn on the phone the first time it should ask you to connect to your data network right away.

Updated ROM for SM-G9006V

Hello all,

I am searching around for custom ROMs for this specific model and I'm sure that those other folks using this phone would love something custom as well along the same lines as Alliance and XtreStoLite ROMs that are available for the genuine S5. It appears that they have sold many of these particular S5 clones so I am curious as to whether anyone is working on a custom ROM for this phone. It really is an amazing and fast phone and about as close as you can get to the real thing for a clone. (especially after rooting).

Thanks!

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddxv:
Try pulling the battery waiting a second, putting it in, then holding down Vol UP + Home + Power.

The menu you've gotten to is reached on my phone by doing Vol DOWN + Home + Power, so on the off chance our phones are different make sure you try both.

Also, do you have root? I can't remember if that is required for doing this, it might be....

Just to double check, were you using the CWM version from the chinese site, it worked for me.

http://bbs.gfan.com/android-7340315-1-1.html

Maybe go back over the directions above, it's useful to simply translate them. On the off chance you live in Beijing and are free tomorrow I could help you in the late afternoon, I happened to take it off work.

Another possibility is that your drivers aren't working...? Though I'm not sure why ODIN would say passed. I had installed wandoujia to get my samsung drivers working... it's a rather infectious program, though not exactly malware. Auto installs drivers for the phone and manages apks
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saddevil:
Yes, I used CWM from this site (g9006v-cwm-recovery-6.0.5.0-cn.tar).

Unfortunatelly I live not in Beijing, and not even in China.

The rom is good but

The rom is good, but there is some problems:

1. The device is always send a pop up window that says: "send report"

(it's poped up like every 20 min'.)

2. The clock is refuse to work, every time when I tried to make a wake up clock it didn't make noise and wrote: "clock is stoped".

(with other App from google play, the wake up clock is working just fine).

3. The most important thing is the Massages. when I get massage it didn't make any alert, so only if I get inside the massages I will see it.

(the problem is only in massages I guess, because when I get an What'sapp massage so it alert just fine).
