[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snappywan:
OpenVPN running both natively and on router

There is a thread on reddit that explains both using the OpenVPN client directly on FireTV or split-routing setup.

Here is the link to use the OpenVPN client natively on FireTV:

reddit.com/r/fireTV/comments/2b4hlh/finally_got_vpn_working/

Here is the link to use OpenVPN on the router and selectively route traffic over the tunnel for the FireTV:

reddit.com/r/fireTV/comments/2b4hlh/finally_got_vpn_working/cjwup38

I'm sure you can adapt the instructions to suit dd-wrt. And if you can't, maybe you should switch over to OpenWRT.

P.s. I'm a lurker so I cannot generate links until I've posted 10 times. Maybe a mod can do it, or someone else can repost it, or better yet, transcribe the instructions.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcmsignup:
I was able to get a split tunnel up and running on an ASUS RT-N66U router running Merlin Firmware. The VPN in Merlin is basically a port of OpenVPN in the tomato firmware implementation. The first step is to create the VPN tunnel and then you can setup the separate routes. For Private Internet Access (PIA). I used the following instructions to setup the tunnel:

https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/forum/index.php?p=/discussion/110/updated-tomato-setup-for-newer-branches-including-tomatousb/p1

Next I followed the instructions on this page for setting up a separate route for my FireTv. With this configuration my AFTV goes through the VPN tunnel and everything else goes through the normal Wan to my ISP. I followed the following instruction. Look at page 2 of the post for the instructions by WIZIN

http://www.smallnetbuilder.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9311&highlight=split

This is tailored for ASUS routers, but the idea should not be too difficult to implement on and dd-wrt o tomato firmware.

For me this is a much cleaner solution than running something on the AFTV. It starts up and shuts down with the router, so I don' have worry about restarting it when I reboot on the AFTV or it using CPU and memory on the AFTV.

hello all, I'm a noobie. I'd very much appreciate any help... I want to backup my rom . no custom rom is installed, yet.

I'm rooted. have trwp on sprint samsung s5. build number kot49h.g900pvpu1ane5 .

I boot manually to recovery. the green android drops dead with a (!).

the choices are:

reboot device now

apply update from ADB

apply update from external storage

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cach partition

apply update from cache

no option for backing up. any guidance would be helpful. thanks,

That sounds like stock recovery. You need to get a custom recovery on there. You said you have twrp, how did you try to install it?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hal2001:
,

Thanks for responding. I used TWRP manager root when I tried to install twrp recovery. But I never actually booted into twrp.

I have philz_touch_6.41.6-klte

Will it work, and if so, how do I install it?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metalfan78:
Have you ever used Odin? That's the best way.

Philz has been the most reliable for backup and restore.

Root Sprint S5....Step-by-Step
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hal2001:
here's what I did to get to where I was when I started the thread:

1. followed instructions in the qbking video that's mentioned in the step-by-step root thread here http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=2737724

2. that method uses odin. it seems to have worked. I verified root using root checker basic.

3. installed TWRP manager root.

4. could not boot into recovery using twrp manager or manually. could not back up to ext sd card from twrp mangr. . applied nextapp kitkat sd card fix.

5. using titanium root, backed up apps and data to external sd. no problem.

6. changed ext storage in twrp manager to ext sd. still won't back up rom to ext sd. tried "live backup" with changed storage location to ext sd. nope, the backup went into internal storage.

I am still rooted. can I switch from twrp to phiz? how would I do that? thanks for any help.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metalfan78:
I never use 'manager' apps, I don't trust them. You can switch recoveries anytime you want to. I would use Odin since you can't get to recovery. Do you have the recovery tar file for Odin?

hi

i have a galaxy s4 now and from experience if the fone fails to load i can always remove the battery and try a recovery re-entry by pressing the home+volume up+power and presto i am i recovery mode

can anyone enlighten me please what is the similar process in the g3 - i have delayed my purchase several times even after getting a 620 offer for a brand new g3 - great price but need a bit of experience

much appreciate your comments/instructions, i am 70 and although i am handy with gadget going into a new experience blindfolded scares me a bit

close but no cigar

i read that page before that still does not relive my quizzes, the s4 sometimes hang on the logo and the ONLY way out of that was to remove the battery

Does the lg3 behave similar, (they both have android although the lg3 has a lot less custom roms than the s4 and perhaps not all roms were up to par so that's why the s4 sometimes did not behave well with all roms) as the s4

does the lg hang at the logo (when the s4 did that you could not access the phone to plug it to a pc you had a dead phone - the only was recovery thru power/volumeup/home

again does the lg hang on the logo if it does how do you exit from that trap

[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DannyC01:
I installed Titanium Backup and it lets you backup and uninstall apps. :)
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roy@lty1102:
I wouldn't uninstall the apps. Use Titanium and freeze the apps. A lot of people ran into problems when the OTA update came out. If system files were modified or deleted, the update wouldn't go through. If there's another update, simply unfreeze them. I don't know if we'll get any more updates but freezing them is safer
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HerbGirl:
Agreed, just freeze them. I uninstalled all the bloatware, and now I have no screen rotation (which I read is believed to be related to uninstalling Samsung Hub).

I got my M3100 unlocked and bought a T-Mobile PAYG sim so I could use their (excellent) Web n Walk package for internet access.

I like the fact that I pay £1 per day maximum.

What I don't like is that they won't set up HSDPA on my account. I called customer services and they said it can only be enabled on contract, not PAYG.

Now I know their CS aren't the most technically capable bunch, so I suspect it's possible I'm being given the run-around. Before I make a pain of myself, does anyone else have this set up on PAYG?

Cheers

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] stooby:
I had the same when I called TMO customer service. They will only enable HSDPA on contract apparently. If anybody knows how to get them to turn it on for us PAYG people, please speak up!

Anyone else?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] herman3101:
I'm pretty sure they won't won't be able to do it for you. PAYG services are always crippled (only allowing one call at the same time for example).

If I were you I'd just go for contact, they've got some pretty dam decent deal at the mo and would work out cheaper if you were spedning that quid a day.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Don.:
Its definitely cheaper to get a contract with TMobile.

Ive just signed up for the 1Gb web n walk contract which costs me £7.50 a month.

I've also got their cheapest FlexT contract which Im paying about £9 a month for.

I got a good rate on my FlexT contract because Ive been with TMobile for a couple years and I told them I didnt want an upgrade phone.

When you get a contract from TMobile, tell them you already have a phone and would like a discount.

My only gripe about web n walk is when retrieving a webpage it takes a while to connect and then locate the page.

Downloading large files is great though.

Hi guys,

I have been using Android 4.4.2 on my LG Optimus G Pro (e980), When I take calls I use headphones and the sound is usually rerouted through headphones however since I have update to Android 4.4.2 there is no sound in calls when I have headphones in and I don't know what's the problem.
[LG Optimus G Pro] zamajalo:
Updated via OTA or manual flash? Tried reseting to factory settings? Checked volume settings (they differ with headphones on/off, if I remember correctly)? Does music player work? Do you have in-call sound when using without headphones?
[LG Optimus G Pro] Tobilla:
I manual flashed the rom, the volume settings are at max with and without headphones, yes the music player works, I have in call sound without headphones all though it's very quiet even with max volume. This problem only happens with 4.4+ roms I never had any volume problems with any 4.3+ roms.

Knock Code = Knock On.. sorta

I faced this issue the other day when I finally tried out Cloudy G3 on my lg g2 d801 and found the following:

I don't have enough posts to post a link but if you google "CLOUDYG3 knock on not working" the first reddit link should take you somewhere that has you go through a hiddenMenu.apk way of enabling it which seems to have worked for most. Not for me though.

My issue was confusing Knock-Code and Knock on. Some folks said that when Knock Code was enabled, Knock on stopped working, I can confirm this is UNTRUE.

What happens is your knock on IS your knock code. So for example, if my knock code was to knock each of of the four boxes you can use in a knock code once (so four knocks), my knock on would now be four knocks in thease four boxes (yes the screen is off so you have to knock in each boxes general vicinity).

I hope that prevents folks from having to do anything drastic in order to fix the non-issue (at least in this particular case).

Knock on \m/
