[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbsoundz:
Hello,

When I ping a local host via DNS it doesn't work. IP ping works. Should this work? I have a new router/fireall (ipfire) in my house and I am not sure if this is an Android problem or a bad configuration on my router.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Depends on your wireless configuration. You'd have to set it to manual config and set your router as primary DNS server otherwise it will default to Google DNS which obviously doesn't know about your internal network

Edit...

For example
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KevinouILG:
I have the same, really annoying problem.

Even if I use a local DNS (and ONLY the local DNS), the query are not solved by the DNS server... and ends with a 404. The DNS server is the first in the list of the DNS to use (shown by an app witch read the wifi paremeters).

I use Fing to do my network test, it says the hostname can't be resolved on ping and in DNS resolution... like if the DNS wasn't here !

I have a lot of applications inside my private domain ( *.dk.lan ) managed by a bind9 server on Raspbian, and all was pretty good with Kitkat and lower (and on Mac OS / Linux )...

I have 8 devices, 5 on Lollipop with this problem and 3 on kitkat without it.

If you have an idea... I'm listening :D !
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbsoundz:
This is a strange thing. Same with fing app test here...

I noticed that I have this problem after I set up my firewall based on IPFire with proxy enabled. Maybe it is an IPfire misconfiguration. But all other computers don't have any problems. Just Android.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KevinouILG:
I see if I am on a network with IPv6 enabled, the problem occurs, if not, it doesn't.

The OS wants to resolve the DNS name with an IPv6 DNS server or something else.

If I disabled the IPv6 on my network, the problem is solved... but I need it... so I am waiting for a solution.

I have a very strong dislike for my Lg G3, so I am waiting somewhat patiently to purchase the incredible looking Edge.

With nothing else to do I use the G3 to look for videos for it's replacement. I found these informative.

however the reviews i read still talk about lag appearing at certain times and tbh if im going to pay a premium price for a piece of hardware, i dont expect stuff like that esp with the specs... and no i dont want to have to go through the process of rooting etc....shame tho cos i really like the looks of it..

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poldie:
On most android phones you can stop them from connecting to open WiFi, so it only connects to your home WiFi and other predefined locations.

The Z3 has an option on the Stamina page:

Location based WiFi- WiFi activated automatically when in range of a saved WiFi network.

I've played with this but i don't get it. If that's activated and I've turned WiFi off it doesn't seem to turn WiFi on, and if WiFi is turned on it'll connect anyway so this option is redundant.

The power policy makes no difference, and I've added my WiFi point to the list.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhinav.tella:
Maybe you need to turn on "background scanning" in advanced settings which checks for WiFi in intervals even when WiFi set to off.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cschmitt:
If you leave wifi enabled the feature will automatically turn it off when you are not near the location of one of your saved networks, and then back on when you are again near that location. Don't manually turn off wifi, the feature won't turn it back on in that state.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shilent:
I was wondering the same thing. I'll test this out today.

The description should say that WiFi will turn off when not in range of saved networks.

Sony makes it sound like we need to have WiFi off, and it'll turn back on automatically when in range.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poldie:
Exactly, especially when another option, on the advanced wifi option page, says:

"Scanning always available: Let google's location service and other apps scan for networks, even when wi-fi is turned off"

because it gives the impression you can enable that, turn wifi off, but use the "location based" option to override your wifi disable to turn it back on again.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cschmitt:
Scanning always available is a battery killer.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] legend921:
What I have noticed is that my Wi-Fi turns off when I leave my residence to work and stays off the entire time. It doesn't turn on automatically when you come home until something runs a scan of your location. I believe that is how it works and when it senses that you're near where your WiFi is it will turn it on automatically.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiark:
Hi!

i kinda messed up my phone a little after trying to upgrade my firmware. I must have flashed the wrong one.

Fortunately i can get into the bootloader, recovery and even start a custom rom.

Unfortunately some things are broken there:

-BT not working

-cant install any apps from store

-some other things

now i tried to reset my phone to complete stock using a nandroid backup from the forum

i dragged it on my phone, twrp sees it and when i try to install it i cant choose the partitions to restore.

When i swipe it i get the Error:

E: no partitions selected for restore

i made a nandroid backup of my broken rom and i can flash this without any problems

maybe im trying to use the wrong nandroid? i tried several but i always get that message. What came to my mind is that there are some files missing in the nandroid backups i downloaded. its about all the 0byte .tar files. Are these interchangeable so i can just try to use copy the ones i have to the nandroid backup i want to install?

Can someone please tell me which nandroid backup i should get?

CID: VODAP102

version bootloader: 3.16.0.000

version baseband: 1.16.2133156.VA15G

where are you putting the extradited files ?

they go in TWRP/BACKUPS/YourSerialnumber/nandroidyoudownloaded

in TWRP you can chang where it looks for the backup by simply click the word internel storage xxxxxmb or external sd xxxxxmb or usb_otg xxxxxmb

just choose where you put the nandroid you downloaded

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pottertons:
YOU my friend are an absolulte BEEEEEEEEAUTY!!!!

Everywhere that I checked other than here, simply stated that the backup file had to be in the BACKUP folder.

After two days of failure with multiple attempts to install different roms for my S4 (I know, wrong thread) I resorted to the 'Restore' option. I was losing my mind until I found this post of yours. That 'YourSerialNumber' step is crucial.

MUCH respect.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Easy and useful trick, is to use TWRP to make a backup. For instance, go into TWRP, select Backup, check Boot partition only (assuming your device has that - I don't know much about the S4), which is probably just 10-20 Mb.

TWRP will construct the proper folder structure to save the Boot backup. You can then copy the downloaded nandroid to the same location.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w69:
You can put several backup folders in twrp:\backups\myserial\backup1, backup2

But remember (no sub-folders)

**backup1 and backup2 are two different backups. You can also rename folders for your ease but you can't rename (myserial folder) otherwise it will disappear.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Useful info. I personally like to rename the backup folders (after TWRP generates the backup) with details about the ROM, date, etc. such as: "Stock Rooted Magisk (2-2-18)".

I know TWRP auto creates a file name, with the date and time of when the backup is made. But I still like to change the date format to something that is easier for me to understand. Plus some details on what exactly the backup contains (rooted or not, stock or custom ROM, etc.).

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irrec:
Sure.

TWRP -> BACKUP -> choose BOOT only -> execute

now check where the image was saved eg: ext: /TWRP/BACUPS/XXXXXXXXXX/DATA.../files

now delete what is in the XXXXXXXXXX folder and move your folders there from the path / TWRP / BACKUPS / YYYYYYYYYYY /

this is because it was re-uploaded TWRP and now have a different backup path (folder XXXXXXXXXX)

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
If ever in doubt of the TWRP backup folder structure or file locations; just go into TWRP, tap the "Backup" button, and make a "dummy" backup of the current ROM. Doesn't matter if the current ROM doesn't work (it probably does not, if you are looking to restore a stock backup from the collection). TWRP will still create the appropriate folder structure. You can than duplicate that same folder structure.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] captainbirdseye86:
Hello,

So it seems the Note 4 is not that good at 3d performance in quiet a few games, especially Grand Theft Auto 3 (atleast with snapdragon 805, not sure about the other chip they use). I presume this is because it renders at the screens native resolution, and that the snapdragon 805 is not good enough for that.

If that be the case, is it possible to force game applications to render at a lower resolution, thus making the game less jittery? I have root.

[Samsung Gear S] mitchellvii:
One of my greatest hesitancies in going with a non-Android smartwatch OS is the terrible lagginess of S-Voice in the past compared to the lightning speed of Google Now.

For those who own the watch, how responsive is S-Voice as far as texting, asking for information, etc?

Thanks. First look at this watch in the store I thought it was too big and geeky for me, but still fence-sitting a bit. I now wear a Rolex Submariner so this would be a big switch style wise.
[Samsung Gear S] mitchellvii:
Just tested it out myself. It's not as blazing fast as Google Now, but it's better than it was an acceptable.

You won't be able to get quick answers like "When is the Redskin's next game" without being redirected to the phone. Someone said we could get Google Now on this Gear S. Will have to research that.
[Samsung Gear S] spinedoc:
I switched from my Rolex Submariner also, so I know how you feel. It's not too large, but it is definitely instantly recognizable as something more than a watch even at first glance. Still it blends in well.

S voice is pretty decent, haven't use it much but it's pretty smooth and fast. Google now is nice, but it's always been way too much of an internet search to be 100% perfect as a personal assistant.
[Samsung Gear S] mitchellvii:
Well one of the nice things about Google Now is I can say, "What is the score of the Redskin's game?" and the answer will appear on the watch. With SVoice it will just link me to the answer on my phone which kind of defeats the purpose of asking the watch in the first place.
[Samsung Gear S] spinedoc:
Yeah they are both better in their own ways. S voice is nice and straight forward but limited, where Google now is much broader, but sometimes too broad. A good example is sometimes when I say "call Mario" it gives me an internet search for super Mario bros. Now I'm not sure why it sometimes does this, and other times calls my contact.
[Samsung Gear S] mitchellvii:
So far S Voice is so laggy and generally weak that it is almost useless. If I say "When is George Washington's birthday?", sometimes it just spins and spins then finally recognizes the words but never gives me an answer. The response to this using Google Now would be almost instantaneous.

I just don't get it. Samsung has had S Voice from freakin YEARS now, why does it still SUCK so bad?

Between that and the weakness of the Navigation app (no driving directions - what?!) this watch is losing it's charm for me quickly. Why is Samsung SO bad at software?

**UPDATE: I think part of the problem with the lagginess is due to the fact Sprint puts their Gear S on the horrific 3G network. ATT uses 4G. Why would Sprint go 3G when 4G was possible? Inexplicable.

Still, I can't believe S Voice can't answer something as simple as when a football game is without redirecting me to the phone. I mean, my god, come on.
[Samsung Gear S] Alpha06:
It's nowhere near as good as Google Now, but it works for things like sending texts, setting alarms, and checking the weather in a city :P
