[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] l3t0m:
The devices with 4 GB ROM have about 1,5 GB available for the user which is obviously not so much considering that many popular apps are taking up to 100 mb and if you use a GPS navigator the maps also need some hundreds mb of storage to be downloaded on your device. Add to this the frequent app updates and the photos/videos you shoot with the 8MP/1080p camera and you will be out of storage.

I think that 8 GB is the minimum you need to have the best experience with a device like the L9 II.

I have no idea why the rest of the 1 GB RAM is not showing (that's happening on my device also), maybe someone with more technical knowledge could explain this. Anyway, as far as the device works fine (and it does!) there is no reason to worry about. :)

Hi.

I was reading how to use lokwiz for the CID unlock. The website said after you execute the CID unlock, the phone gives you a SIM number to unlock the SIM. It said you have to replace SIM cards during this process. It didn't really make sense to me. When installing Molski's latest ROM do you have to unlock both the CID and SIM or just the CID? If you do have to unlock the SIM as well do you really need to change SIM cards, or was the guy talking out of his ass about the switching of SIM cards?

I appreciate you taking the time to help me.

Thanks.

Are you still able to boot into recovery?

Successfully rooted my Micromax A110 and installed a kernel update (ThunderZap) however the camera isn't working. Is it because I rooted my MMX A110 device? Please suggest the work around.

The issue is most likely due to the Kernel you have flashed. Please post in [Q&A]Help/Report Thread so that the right experts may be of help.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] windranger:
I have an Xperia Ray (2011) phone with unlocked bootloader.

The phone cannot upgrade automatically as it says that Android is up to date.

I'm new to this so I would like to know the detailed steps for installing Android 4.4 manually.

Any answers appreciated.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] madprofessorus:
you gotta search if there is a KitKat ROM for your phone,here in the whole XDA page, if there is a ROM available, you will find also they instructions on how to do it
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] windranger:
Google says Android 4.4 can be installed on older phones like this one with the respective specs.

By ROM you mean kernel?

I think a standard kernel is good enough, no special one needed.

But where can I download it from?

My SM-G7102 model can't mount my SD Card for some reason. Either on Settings or TWRP it's not showing. It's colored grey on Settings and doesn't do anything when I press it. My SD Card works fine since i've tried it on PC.

Be aware that while using AdGuard on PC it became abundantly clear that it slowed internet traffic, pages do NOT open faster, but most alarming of all was its insane (and i mean INSANE) overinflation of the number ads etc that it blocked. It smelt like a con on just the bs figures alone, but with the added slowdown in traffic i removed it.

AdAway, via FDroid. Less drama, real results.
[Android Apps and Games] Primokorn:
More information if some non-rooted users would like to try:

• Android 4.0.3+

• Not compatible with Opera Mini and Puffin Browser.

Official announcement: http://blog.adguard.com/en/news/official-release-adguard-android-1-0.html
[Android Apps and Games] Daria Adguard Team:
So you are making a conclusion about android app because of your experience with PC version, am I right?

Also what about PC version, could you please send me in PM some details on this insane overinflation?

Looks like a bug for me. Also traffic slowdown is something unusual for Adguard.

Beta version 1.0.734

We've just released new beta version.

Changelog for version 1.0.734:

* Improved HTTPS filtering

* Fixed possible conflicts when using the same port number with another proxy server

* Fixed issues with some apps (Telegram, Orbot and others)

* Fixed bugs with some HTTP requests processing

* Added an option to change the look of notification icon

* Fixed problem with landscape mode on devices with low resolution screen
[Android Apps and Games] airmaxx23:
Unfortunately the setting to change the icon doesn't work.
[Android Apps and Games] justmpm:
Hi Everyone,

Sorry but I had to remove all the talk about the paid version of this app because these discussions can easily be against the xda rules. So please, can we limit the discussion to the free version of this app and if you have an interest in, or a comment about, the paid version please take it up on the adguard website.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
It won't work if you use VPN filtering mode with Android 4.X.

The problem is that the "key" icon is not ours - it is Android's system icon, we can't control it.

Maybe we should disable this setting in this case?
[Android Apps and Games] Mariner_1712:
I would simply add a note to the Icon setting description that the Adguard icon defaults to Android's VPN key in VPN-mode.

No need to remove or disable anything. Choice is good.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Choice is good indeed but we just don't want to confuse user with a setting which does nothing currently.

I think that we may mark setting as disabled and add a note below that VPN key icon is managed by OS, not app.
[Android Apps and Games] BakaB:
now the real question, why this over adaway?
[Android Apps and Games] Mariner_1712:
That's exactly what I meant, and what I wrote.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Adaway is not a filtering app or an ad blocker. It is no more than a hosts file manager. So for me it's strange to compare Adguard or ABP with Adaway or Adfree. You can use hosts file to block some ad networks, that's true. But the quality of such filtering is very low comparing to what real filters do.

Some examples for better understanding.

With hosts file:

You cannot block facebook or twitter buttons without blocking facebook and twitter sites.

You cannot handle mobile redirects, inline scripts, self-hosted banners, etc.

You will see broken elements (images,objects,whitespaces) on the pages because hosts file does not filter the page code and cannot make it look right.

Filtering has its own drawbacks. Because app actually does something it needs your CPU and it uses your battery.

Anyway, you can use Adguard along with adaway or adfree, no conflicts and no overhead here (hosts file does not use your battery at all).
[Android Apps and Games] Daria Adguard Team:
New beta version is ready.

We are very close to major release. I think that this beta version is faster and better than current stable release.

Changelog for 1.1.779:
[Android Apps and Games] rodaven:
I there, I have a question. I tested another application like this one time ago (AdB...k), that worked fine blocking ads but consumed a lot of my mobile data, almost all my mobile data available in 3 days. My question is, this app with do the same?
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Yes we will. But actually it's not our app who use this mobile data.

It's your apps that consumes the data.

The problem is that all traffic goes through the filter (our app or abp or whatever) and that's why Android counts this traffic as ours in it's data usage stats.

We plan to add a simple firewall in version 1.2. So you'll be able to see actual data usage of your apps and to manage their network access.
[Android Apps and Games] rodaven:
I don't think that was my case, because I keep track of my mobile data usage and I have never used that amount of data in just 3 days (like 65 MB) and I didn't do anything estrange or out of normal, just WhatsApp and I opened Facebook like 4 times.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
I am not abp specialist so just don't know, maybe their app really has some bugs. I know they check filter updates sometimes (and filters are rather heavy), maybe that's it. Anyway, if mobile data usage is important to you just enable "Update over Wi-Fi only" in Adguard to be sure.
[Android Apps and Games] TheDempster:
I Just installed your app on my Verizon Galaxy S6 unrooted. When running it blocks my verizon phone app function and voice mail functionality. Any Ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Do you use stable or beta?

Better try beta version (in fact it should be released today), all issues with US carriers are fixed there.

Download link:

https://adguard.com/apkb
[Android Apps and Games] TheDempster:
Stable. I will give the beta a try. Thanks for the fast response. Does the beta also block app ads?
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
In both stable and beta blocking apps ads is a premium feature.

But beta has firewall module which is often enough to block ads in apps.
[Android Apps and Games] TheDempster:
I am a power User, and would love to beta test this app. I just upgraded to this phone, and would like to not root it (all my previous phones were rooted). Right now if I root the phone some of the security features will be disabled. Hence, that is why I am trying this app out. What can I do to help.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Would be great, thank you!

Here is info about how to become AG beta tester:

New release. Adguard 2.0

Hi, guys!

If you don't know yet, here are some good news - yesterday we have finally released the stable 2.0.62 version.

We have gone a long way to finally introduce Adguard for Android 2.0 to our users. Check it out, we are waiting for your feedback :)

The full list of changes:

+ Added the long-awaited firewall feature. Now it is possible to fully control the internet access of apps in different networks.

+ Added app traffic monitoring system. You can monitor the consumption of app traffic in real time.

+ Added module for blocking advertising domains by DNS (can be found in advanced settings). Faster blocking but may mistakenly block whole domains.

+ Added Material Design.

+ Added IPv6 filtering support.

+ Implemented blocking of QUIC protocol in Google Chrome.

+ Added simplified filtering mode without cosmetic rules. It is useful for low-end devices.

+ Added the import function for user rules lists from a file.

+ Added widget for your desktop, allowing one-click control for the ad-protection.

+ Added options for update channel - Beta/Release.

* Fixed problem with TCP-stack when downloading large files (in Google Play, etc.).

* Remarkably redesigned UDP and TCP connections handling, which led to the load reduction and increase of concurrent connections number.

* Use of system Intents to manage the service from other programs (Tasker, etc.) is now allowed.

* Improved restarting protection after reconnecting to the network.

* Fixed problem with sending MMS through the Verizon operator.

* Fixed sending SMS for T-Mobile users.

* Added support for NoChromo, Chrome Dev, Amazon Silk.

* Added an exception for new Opera Max, you can now use it with Adguard in proxy mode.

* Added new icons for different application states.

* No more status bar colored icon option in Lollipop.

* Redesigned interface of user lists.

* Added new languages and updated existing localization.

* Many small but important fixes.

The app has been murdering my battery life. I'm not sure if it's the reason my g4 runs extremely hot. I'm running 2.0. I've been using the app for months

[Android Apps and Games] Maduro78:
I've had my g4 for a few months now and installed this app this I got it. Since I've had it the phone gets extremely hot to the point I can't use it. I uninstalled the app and the phone stays at normal temps now. Any idea why the app would be taxing my cpu so much? It was also the #1 user in my battery stats

[Android Apps and Games] Johnny Wong:
Similar experience when I updated to 2.0.62. It was showing as the top battery user even when the App was just sitting in the background and not filtering. Had to roll back to the last version I had from my download folder which is 2.0.16.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Hi!

Usually it happens if some app goes mad because of ad&tracking blocking.

Some ad&tracking libraries in this case may try resending their requests with a very short delay and thus drain battery.

Could you please take a look at Firewall traffic stats and look for something suspicious there?

---------- Post added at 01:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 PM ----------

We should add this to the app description:

https://kb.adguard.com/index.php?/K...ndroid-battery-and-traffic-consumption-issues

You can see real consumers in Firewall stats.

---------- Post added at 01:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:04 PM ----------

Ok, that's not good.

Could you please help us with researching this (as we can't reproduce this on our test devices)?

If you can please install the latest version and use it for some time.

Then we need the following:

1. Firewall stats, please make a screenshot of the top filtered apps

2. Adguard log file. Depending on the device it could be located in the following places:

/storage/emulated/Android/data/com.adguard.android/cache/log

/sdcard/Android/com.adguard.android/cache/log

/sdcard/data/Android/com.adguard.android/cache/log

/sdcard/Android/data/com.adguard.android/
[Android Apps and Games] wabicek:
I will try that too. I was really amazed by this app, it's probably the best solution for devices without root, but battery drain was too high for daily use.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
It's important to understand if the battery drain is caused by Adguard or by your apps.

I mean if you see that AG uses all battery it is probably ok because it hides all filtered apps battery usage. But if you feel that battery usage has become too high please report this to us.
[Android Apps and Games] mariosraptor:
I've got same issue. AG sits at top of consuming apps with a staggering 37%

[Android Apps and Games] pgovotsos:
I tried to use Adguard DNS by configuring the low level setting pref.vpn.dns and entering 176.103.130.130 and 176.103.130.131 on separate lines. As instructed I toggle Adguard off and on. When I go to the Adguard DNS page at https://adguard.com/en/adguard-dns/overview.html the status says that I am not using Adguard DNS. I restart the phone thinking that might help. The status still says not using Adguard DNS.

I know that the installation guide says to configure the WiFi network but you have to do that for every network you attach to and it only works for WiFi and not mobile. Since this setting is supposed to change the entire system's DNS I thought this would work. I checked my DNS settings with IP Config and it is still showing the original DNS address, not Adguard DNS.
[Android Apps and Games] pgovotsos:
Should add that when I do configure the Wi-Fi network according to the directions in the guide, the phone connects to the network but says "Connected no Internet"

This is on a Pixel XL running Android 7.1.

If it matters I'm using Project Fi.
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
I wonder why, it should work ok. Just checked it on my device.

You use VPN filtering mode, right?

What if you use any third party dns changer app instead? Does it work with them?

Something like these two:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.burakgon.dnschanger&hl=en

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pepeware.dns.free&hl=en

Also I'd better take a look at Adguard's logs:

Youtube Crash with Nougat 4th Update on SM-G935F

Hello everyone,

Just to inform the developper , today my phone (Galaxy S7-Edge) has been updated with the 4th version of Android Nougat, and since Youtube crashes every time I run it.

The only solution I found is to disable adguard when i want to use youtube.

Here are some infos about my phone :

- Android Version 7

- Base Band G935FXXU1ZPLH

- Adguard Version 2.8.76.

If you could have a fix for the next update, it would be pretty cool. :fingers-crossed:

Thank you :good:

Jean-Marc from France
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Do you have https filtering enabled?
[Android Apps and Games] tigerlaxou:
No, all the boxes are unchecked in these settings :(
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
Weird. We'll check it on our side, but anyway, it should help to disable ad blocking for YT app.

You can do it in Adguard's apps management section.
[Android Apps and Games] tigerlaxou:
Sorryn but Youtube always chrash when adguard is running, with or without HTTPS filtering.

No matter for me, if i want use Youtube i have just to disable Adguard.

Take time to find a fix, Youtube is no so important :)

Thanks :D
[Android Apps and Games] avatar_adg:
We've just got the same complaint from another Galaxy S7 beta tester.

Temporary solution: it's enough to uncheck "Enabled" for Youtube in Adguard's apps management. Don't forget to restart AG protection after it.
[Android Apps and Games] pgovotsos:
Both of those apps don't actually change the DNS, they are just a VPN like Adguard. I tried the second one and the DNS is still set to what DHCP set it to. I also tried DNS Changer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eddypcz.dnschanger which is a root tool. It also fails. I used IP Config https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mankind.ipconfig to check the settings.

Attached is a zip file with screenshots of IP Config, DNS Changer, Pepe's DNS Changer, the low level setting of Adguard, and the Adguard DNS page showing the status.

I sent the logs. I hope it captured what you need. I set it to record everything and reset. The help desk ID is 1471897.

One other thing that I noticed but don't know if it has any bearing is how long it takes after a reset for the VPN to become active. It takes 23 seconds before the notification comes up that Adguard is getting ready to start and another 10 seconds before the key appears and the notification that Adguard is filtering all Internet traffic. That seems like a long time before starting. The times are measured from when the phone has fully restarted - unlock and the launcher opens.

Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to help troubleshoot this.

Thank you
