[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deffecto:
Hello, first to say, im not a newb, noob, newly registered, or a guy who dont understand anything from android.

Im not posting stupid topics, or topics which answers can be found easily on internet/google/xda/forums and such.

I am running stock rom, only rooted (i used to root it only to apply some xposed settings and clear some unnessesary apps, nothing more, nothing less).

Here is the description:

My phone has no warranty, i bought it online, brand new from UK, simfree. At that point, i had no problems with the connection. i received OTA Update - about 50-60 mb, but the phone remain 4.2.2 as it was. I still had no problems with the connection. After some time, the phone was left alone inhome for a few days, may be a week, it was turned off and it was not used at all. When i got back, i inserted my sim card, and i saw it is showing only G icon, and no 3g/h/h+, nor even 2g. I live in big city with very good network coverage, so its not network problem. I dialed up the customer service (Globul Telenor Bulgaria) , explained them my problem and asked them to check if its operator's problem or sim card problem, but it is not. The sim is fine, so is the network coverage. I dont have other operator's sim card to check the phone. I tryed several possible solutions found in google/xda - turned off the phone, removed sim and battery and left that way for few hours, still have the problem, tryed to switch operators manually and register sim card to other operator then back to mine, not working. Several times reseting/ deleting APNs, switching airplane mode, data off/on, adding apns/searching for networks and all available combos, not working asked Globul Customer support to send me new settings- not working. The only obvious thing i havent tryed is the factory reset (I still need to do a backup first and dont have time to do it right now.)

In Settings- More networks - Mobile networks- Network mode i have 2 options - 2g/3g auto connect and 3g Only. When I choose only 3g - i lose any signal, like there is no sim card. Reverting back to auto 2g/3g is registering my sim back to Globul network.

Then i decided to root my phone if i can find a fix for the connection. Rooted with CF-Auto-Root thru Odin. (The 30sec Root)

Looked for some tweaks in xposed modules and settings, i couldnt find anything related to 3g. Still looking for a solution...

I repeat - my phone was completely stock and non-rooted when the problem occurs! Now is rooted with stock rom.

(this is the diffirent from every topic i searched.)

Im attaching some screenshots, if someone can help me. 2g is really annoying and slow as hell.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
Well the first thing I would do is update your phone. You are running 4.2.2 which is old. Update to the latest version, that could either be a stock rom or a custom rom.

After that do a factory reset. Make sure you backup your internal storage etc, because it will wipe it clean.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deffecto:
Factory reset, updated to 4,3, after that 4.4.2 problem still persists.

No 3g at all. Its not the sim. Any way to fix it ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deffecto:
Soo no way to fix it? Should i give it for repair?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ~Craig~:
Hi, Hopefully somebody can help me, I am trying to use my OpenVPN connection on my FireTV

I have been following this helpful guide and have installed everything correctly but when I transfer my .ovpn config file and open it on the FireTV it should ask for my username and password, However it does not. I don't know if its perhaps a problem with how the "OpenVPN Settings" app is reading my .ovpn file (Using CyberGhost).

Or can anyone advise another way of getting it working on the FireTV?

Unfortunately I cant configure it at router level as it is not fast enough to handle the encryption.

Thanks for any advice.

Craig
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtrememc8:
If the username and password are embedded in the .ovpn file, then it won't ask you to enter them again. It should automatically connect you to the VPN server you choose.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ~Craig~:
I dont believe they are in the .ovpn file as when I had it briefly enabled on my router after importing the file I still had to type them in.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtrememc8:
.ovpn file needs the certificate file to work properly. upload the certificate (.crt) to Fire TV if the certificate is not included in the .ovpn configuration file
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ~Craig~:
I think the .ovpn file also includes all the certs as when I tried it on my router I noticed they were pre-filled. I dont believe CyberGhost have a seperate .crt download.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbdoshi:
After removing all security related info (just put XXX in place of your data like certs/usernames/passwords, DON'T REMOVE ANY LINES THOUGH), can you post your ovpn file? do you see a line which says "auth-user-pass" in the ovpn file?

I just installed OpenVPN as per the guide you referenced and works like a charm (I don't use any commerical VPN, I have OpenVPN activated on my DD-WRT router on ASUS 1900AC). I use certificates to authenticate, not username/password though. But, if you post the file, it might be helpful.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ~Craig~:
Hi, Sure I have attached a copy of their .ovpn file, Near the top is the line auth-user-pass

As suggested I blanked out various parts.

Thanks

Craig
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtrememc8:
Launch OpenVPN settings app; then click the "menu" button on Fire TV remote; click "prerequisites" on the menu ; make sure drive, binary files are correctly installed (success with green dots).
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbdoshi:
OK, I tested your file. This file works:

client

route-delay 5

tun-mtu 1500

verb 4

comp-lzo

<ca>

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

XXXX

-----END CERTIFICATE-----

</ca>

Note, the file ends at </ca>.

I found 4 problem lines in your file.

1. dhcp-release

2. dhcp-renew

(These 2 just don't work)

3. fragment 1300

4. mssfix 1300

(These 2 are not supported on Android. Please refer: https://docs.openvpn.net/docs/openvpn-connect/openvpn-connect-android-faq.html)

Once you remove these 4 lines (AND EVERYTHING AFTER THE </ca> tag), I am getting the prompt for username/password.

-- Also, please verify that your app has all the prerequisites listed by the above poster.

Hope all this helps. My suggestion is to copy my paste of the file, stick in your certificate and give it a shot. Best of luck!

---------- Post added at 09:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:11 PM ----------

Make sure you do a force shutdown and reopen the app every time you make any changes to your config file and upload them to FTV. I am not sure how the caching works on Android or within this app. To be on the safe side, shutdown/reopen the app.

Your certficate file is publicly available. If after you do as the previous poster suggested and use my text as your file, post your complete file here that still does not work, if it does not work! We can go through the logs to see where the holdup might be.

I am assuming you are ONLY using username/password to log into your VPN provider. If you are required to also use client certificates, you will have to add 2 extra XML tags after the </ca> tag.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
Seems CG uses a different method for OpenVPN on Android devices vs a router or PC (You'll see below). I wonder if you should of just stopped at the "Configure VPN" part of the guide & sideloaded & installed the CyberGhost APP(.apk).

For some reason https://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/ can't handle the ".de." in the link of the CG's apk @ the PlayStore. So I downloaded it from another device. I would recommend you install it from the PlayStore once you've added that to your FireTV. Uploaded the file below but it's always best you download your own.

Also found this: (It's from 2013 so not sure if things have changed but it is the third help item that pops up on CG's site when I do a "Android OpenVPN" search)

Configure OpenVPN for Android (> 4.x)

There is also and update: New VPN addresses for the manual configuration of the native protocols

So I am only seeing the two solutions. Either use the App once you have OpenVPN fully installed which sound like you have & then add your account info. Or log into your account to get the proper files from CG which should include your credentials. Hope you figure it out & share the info. Will be using CG too, eventually.

Thank you very much for all your help, I have tried as instructed but still no luck.

After checking the "prerequisites" menu I can confirm everything is correct, All green dots.

I have tried editing my .ovpn file and it certainly is a step forward, I removed the four lines etc and it now asks me for my username and password, But when I enter these and tick the box to enable the VPN it just keeps toggling between Connecting / Reconnecting (caused by tls-error).

Is it safe to post my untouched .ovpn file just to make sure I did not miss something crucial when I edited it? (It does contain my username)

Yes CyberGhost only require you to enter your username / password after using their .ovpn file during any OpenVPN configuration.

That's an interesting point, It never crossed my mind to try side-loading their app. Perhaps if I cant get this working I should try that. I'm wondering what would be better suited or if either can auto-start?

Craig
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
? Is the CG configuration file you are trying to use specifically made for Android ?? Or is it the one you had on your PC or router which I think does not suppose to work according to CG. The configuration files seem to be OS specific.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ~Craig~:
Yeah its the Android specific file I am using. They offer it for os 2.0 or 4.0

The FireTV of course uses 3.0, They tell me the 2.0 will work.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
Well FireTV is based on Android 4.2 actually. The FireOS is 3.0 but not the Android it is based on. I would definitely change to the Android 4.0 option @ CG when making the config file.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ~Craig~:
Really, I did not know that, Just tried the 4.0 option and again removed the lines as you suggested but sadly still toggling between Connecting / Reconnecting (caused by tls-error).

Is it safe to post my untouched .ovpn file just to make sure I did not miss something crucial when I edited it? (It does contain my username)

Thanks

Craig
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
Try it without removing anything(any lines). That was someone else that took at look the other config file & suggested to remove lines. I would not post something related to encryption or accounts online without taking out any private info on it.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ~Craig~:
Sorry, Everyone is being so helpful its hard to keep up :)

I should have said prior to today I had already tried it untouched. As it was it would not go as far as even trying to connect as it would not ask for a username or password
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
Right.. But you need to create a new configuration file over at CG with OpenVPN, Android 4.0 & the Country you will be surfing from in the settings and try that file without any modifications.

[IMG="CG"]https://support.cyberghostvpn.com/images/upload/EN/184.png[/IMG]

Or what settings did you have for Android on the prior file ?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ~Craig~:
I have tried it all ways each time with a new .ovpn file, ie

2.0 (untouched, did not ask for username / password)

2.0 (edited, asks for username / password but puts out the tsl error)

4.0 (untouched, did not ask for username / password)

4.0 (edited, asks for username / password but puts out the tsl error)
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
One more thing to try is the app they mention here: https://support.cyberghostvpn.com/i.../View/403/0/configure-openvpn-for-android--4x

'OpenVPN for Android' from Arne Schwabe
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ~Craig~:
Gave it a try again no luck :(

Followed the guide to a T but after clicking the VPN profile it gives the error "VPN API permission dialog cancelled. Your image does not support the VPNService API, sorry :("
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
What type of account do you have at CG ??

The last option will be to try their Android App and just use your accounts credentials from within the app....
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ~Craig~:
Its a premium account.

Just tried their Android app, Its partly compatible with the Amazon remote but for selecting the server you need a mouse, Just tried it but it just says connecting and goes no further.

I have an Asus RT-N66U router at the moment, My ISP speed is around 28mbps, When configured on the router that drops to around 8mbps as the CPU (600mhz) is not fast enough to handle it.

Tomorrow my line speed is being increased to hopefully 38mbps.

If I thought there were another router out there that I could use that would come close to handling my 38mbps speed via VPN I would probably buy it.

At least with it on the router there is no worry of having to configure any other devices like this FireTV :p

I had been eying the Asus RT-AC68U with its 800mhz dual core processor and the Netgear R7000 with its 1ghz dual core processor

But im not sure what speeds I could expect to achieve with it....

Craig
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
I'll try to use CG in a few days. Will let your know how that goes. I might have to try to get some support over at CG.

The best router for the price if in the USA would be the TMobile Asus RT-AC68 aka, TM-AC68U. You can either rent it for $25+shipping (If you are a postpaid non prepaid customer) or you can buy it for $99+tax+shipping. I got that now. But I don't run VPN on my router. Just per device. That is why I've been so interested on seeing if you can get it going.

http://slickdeals.net/f/7193262-t-m...uter-by-asus-free-for-postpaid-25-deposit?v=1

Maybe we need an extra thing to install on the FireTV to get CG to work properly.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ~Craig~:
Good luck, Hopefully you do get it working. Im interested to hear how you get on. I think something somewhere must be missing because the guide I was following at the begining looked very simple. Perhaps there is something different about CyberGhost?

Thats a fantastic price for that router, Sadly im from the UK so im looking more around the £155 mark :eek: thats why I would like to find out how close I would come to maxing out my speeds before spending that kind of money
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
Yeah, I would want to know too before buying something like that. I think at 800Mhz (Dual Core) it should be able to handle most speeds since it is as good as an old PFSense system out there.

Cheers mate! :good:
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ~Craig~:
Thanks for that link, I will take a look at it :)

Just going off what I have briefly read my initial feeling if I were to buy one would of course would be to get the R7000 with its faster CPU.

However i'm more comfortable around the Asus / Merlin firmware interface which I would be using with the AC68U than the DD-WRT that would be needed for the Netgear.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Y314K:
I myself prefer Shibby's TOMATO. Running it now. But it's not as mature on ARM routers as Asus & Merlin's FW. But haven't brought myself to change it.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ~Craig~:
That's understandable, Once you stick with one for a while its hard to change, Same reason I prefer Merlin's as its the same stock layout but with lots of added features :)

Think I may ring a few places later today (its after midnight here in the UK) and find out how they feel about returns if it was not suitable.

Hi all.

What I did to create vpn wifi access for my newly ordered Aftv.

Could not get my netgear wnr3500l with tomato to obtain an ip adresse from my vpn host. It connects perfectly to the pptp host but never locks down the correct ip.

So I connected to the vpn network with my laptop/server pc. Then bought this software http://www.connectify.me today the have 70% of so it's only 12$

Startet the software that let's you create your own wifi hotspot from the vpn connection.

Found the new wifi hotspot and connected with iPhone. Tested the iPhones ip address with myip.dk all perfect.

Now waiting for the aftv to get here

Perfect

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Monkeybearmax:
But openvpn and stuff is outside Kodi right? You just start the stuff and rund Kodi and it works?

And how to start a file server? So far only found out about Apps2Fire app and adbfire from pc...

Copied the stuff from PC now trying the OpenVPN app with the Cyberghost stuff outside of Kodi.

Edit: Everything worked and the proxy will be used with Kodi and stuff apparently. But what now? OpenVPN has to run I presume and thats it? Working on its own now?

And what about that OpenVPN settings "app", do I need that one or is the newest openvpn app with loaded .opvn file enough?

Thank you very much in advance dennis, the final pieces will come together soon.

Edit 2: Seems like it connected successfully to a server. Now what? When I start Kodi it just shows my connection to the router when I go to system. No Proxy can be seen. Am I connected in Kodi or not?

Im starting to get pissed off with arcsoft. I installed molski's 1st edition which came with a very nice and new version of Arcsoft mms. I tired several different manual and automatic connection settings. I have two modems; Internet(internet2.voicestream) and Wap(wap.voicestream). The only way that version would send was using the wap modem, however the sent documents couldnt be opened, and incomming messages did the same thing. I picked up the ArcSoft MMS cab for WM6 and installed it with manual settings. The molski's default "T-Mobile MMS" server does not work with it at all, and no combination of settings enables it to send a mms.

To install drivers, head to Flashtool's install directory. (Default C:\FlashTool). Inside the "drivers" folder, there is a installer. Execute such installer. While selecting what driver, please choose flashmode and fastboot drivers. Scroll down a bit and find "Common drivers for Viskan board" or something like that. Tick that one.
