Looks like I will have to figure out how to use open dns or buy a new router. According to Actiontec, even if I set up a rule to block access, the router ignores all rules from 1145-1259 am. It does this so the router can update, check world time... When this happens ALL device blocks are lifted.
[Fire TV General] vyktym:
Thanks for the guide. I blocked the suggested URLs, but is there any way to test that I have done so correctly? I would hate an auto-update to remove my ability to root in the future.
[Fire TV General] retroben:
I have an easy way that I used successfully.

Just set a computer's "internet options" dns to the OpenDNS numbers and try to visit a webpage that is blocked to see if the site gets blocked.

When the amzdigitaldownloads edgesuite site is blocked properly,you will see a page that says so instead of the "file not found" message.

If you use the services on the Fire TV,even something sideloaded like the "Polaris Go" app,you will have to block only the other mentioned link.

I could not get it to load Table Flip or any videos to show up anymore,but the website's videos work fine on a browser.

I am additionally using the DNS-O-Matic,a partner site of OpenDNS to make sure it keeps my router IP address up to date for keeping the sites blocked properly. (static ip causes network failure issues for me)

I keep the page loaded on an Opera Browser tab at all times to make sure it remains logged in.
[Fire TV General] deshwasi:
i have to select a time period for rule to be active. actiontec model only allows in 15min increments. so... do i select 12am to 12am or 12am to 11:45pm? does the firetv keeping checking every second if there is an update?
[Fire TV General] DieselGuy73:

[Fire TV General] jljaries42@gmail.com:
Verify blocking

I have a TP-Link R860 router,

I set it to block firs-ta-g7g.amazon.com.

I also have openDNS blocking that site.

Is there way to verify that it's blocked.

Clicking 'Check for updates' still seems to work.

Thanks

If you blocked it

for all devices

, your pc browser should not be a able to open either site

I am trying to block updates on a Uverse router but I can't seem to find a way in the settings? Anyone know where it is?
[Fire TV General] moqwai.:
Does this affect application updates like Netflix as well or just firetv os updates?
[Fire TV General] {ParanoiA}:
Just ota updates
[Fire TV General] moqwai.:
But app updates are ota updates as well? Ota = over the air. This disables only fire tv os updates?
[Fire TV General] {ParanoiA}:
My apps install fine with those sites blocked.

Uverse doesn't support it. In my case, I have a Netgear Router behind a Uverse Gateway. I enabling blocking on the Netgear Router, but the blocking was not successful and I lost my root :(

please help
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] daniel4653:
Updating processes is from you wiping caches. LOL. Its only your apps that are "updating" because it has to create caches that you just wiped. It won't brick your device. The update will fail on a custom recovery and no harm will be done.

[Sony Xperia ZL] dwayne27894:
Im having two issues with the update.

1) Camera app takes longer to start than when I had Jelly bean.

2)The settings Menu lags a hell lot..its really annoying because I expected an increase in system performance when I updated to 4.4.2.

3) Scrolling response isnt fluid and feels worse than before

Im using stock Xperia ROM and on my Xperia ZL (C6503) and im really disappointed because it took Sony long enough to release the update which isnt even working smoothly.

If anyone can suggest a solution for either or both these issues please help me out.

Really regret not going for the Nexus devices now :(

my cellphone load gets suck out most of the time because it connects to the internet on its own, is there a setting/program that prompts me first if i want to connect to gprs...

many thanks
[Networking] Oruku_saki:
Hi,

Your phone is most likely trying to connect to check your email. To prevent this happening, from your Inbox select Menu/Tools/Options. Click on your email account, press Next till you reach page 4 then Options. De-Select the box which says 'Connect and check for messages every:'

Hope this helps.

GPRS connection

I have a similar problem using exchange push email. I have established an Internet connection with WLan and checked that I can access my webmail (which is my Exchange mail). Despite this to update email the phone automatically connects GPRS - this is really annoying. I read once that this is set in the registry when one installs the operator customisations. Can anyone tell me how to change this?
[Networking] Rudegar:
this tool

can be set to auto disconnect gprs after x seconds/minuts

Thanks for the suggestion.

I tried this and it doesnt seem to fix the problem. Although I am not excactly clear on the settings.

I tried the Turn Off GPRS option with a 5 min setting, trued Search GPRS [G] on start radio and Search [G] on start GPRS connection.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MooMinIL:
Hey there,

I've had my S3 for almost 2 years now (So definitely no warranty) and around 2 weeks ago it started acting out:

Whenever I answered or made a call, there would be no sound (media players could work fine in the background but no call sound) and after around 30 seconds the network signal would drop and take a minute or so to reconnect.

Texts, Apps and general internet usage works just fine but buttom line i've been without a proper phone to make calls with for the last 2 weeks.

I've tried flashing CM11 Installer version (used to be stock) and that helped for like a day, then I got an advice to flash a new modem but that didn't help either.

I've seen that this problem happened to some people around the web about 2 years ago but haven't managed to find a single [SOLVED] thread.

So, does ANYONE have any clue as to what's going on or how to solve it?\

I would really hate to shed 300$ on a new phone right about now =P
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Flash the latest stock firmware for your country with Odin, then factory reset before booting. If still the same then you have a hardware fault.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jounsa:
Hello,

Were you ever able to find a solution for your problem? I have a customer who is complaining of the same issue(s).

She said that she is unable to make phone calls or send SMS messages while on Data (2G, 3G, etc.), as well as her signal drops repeatedly.

I was hoping that you'd be able to assist me if you were able to find your solution, as I think the next step would be a hardware (Antenna) change in the phone itself, if it isn't the software itself that's the issue.

[General Questions and Answers] TheArc:
Firstly. You said, your phone does not start up at all?

Try plugging it to your PC and check if anything happens (Leave it on for a bit).

Replace battery? Maybe that'll fix the not turning on part but it seems like you bricked your phone.

The guide or method you used, was it made for your device?

Hello AxxPyrtlexx20, I got the SD card issue resolved. What I did is copied all the contents of my SD card to my PC, then I formatted the card running your Rom. After I formatted the card the phone/rom was able to see the card. I them copied all the contend from my PC back to the card and profit. On another note I to as other users was experiencing the WiFi password having to be entered every time I rebooted. Don't know how it resolved itself but it seems to be holding the password after every reboot. fantastic work on the rom, loving it. Thanks :cowboy:
[One (M8) Android Development] SeanHacker:
The WiFi problems the some users have experienced have been really sporadic. The ones that have had the issue with wifi have it and then they won't sometimes. Its actually kind of weird. Not trying to jinx you. But it could all of the sudden happen again. Or maybe not. ;)

Hopefully it will keep working. I did a backup with it working so maybe if it stops for some strange reason I might be able to get it back. Can't hurt I guess.

[One (M8) Android Development] AxxPyrtlexx20:
In my device files?
[One (M8) Android Development] SeanHacker:
Wait a minute. You don't know where you're looking? Sounds fishy. If you don't know this kinda stuff that's totally fine. But if you're not really looking into an issue, it's probably best that you don't blow smoke. No need to lead the users on.

Don't take any of that the wrong way dude. But if you're just waiting for an upstream fix (someone else to fix it), then that's all you need to say. :)

P.S- There's a few places to look into this issue. Device files probably not being one of them as far as I can see. ;)
