[MENTION=1336183]RussianBear[/MENTION]: I actually use a VPN on my phone most of the time. However, by default, Android wont direct tethering to a VPN. I found a guide awhile back that shows how to use terminal commands to forcibly route through a VPN, it worked for quite awhile, but Tmo caught on eventually. I made sure the VPN and my script were already running before activating tethering. A VPN is supposed to be encrypted, so how they detected ne is beyond me. I guess they saw the sheer amount of data I was using and suspected tethering (over 500GB in one month, at the highest point).
[T-Mobile LG V10 General] RussianBear:
Can you not enable vpn on the clients instead? I have my asus router set up with my vpn settings, so anything connecting to it automatically gets passed thru the vpn ip instead. Lower your ttl on desktop/laptop, do the build.prop entry, set ipv to 4 in settings, and set tether dun to 0 in settings.xml (I made a script for that). You should be to go with your vpn then.
[T-Mobile LG V10 General] xBØYxTØYx:
Honestly I see almost no point in having unlimited tethering since your data is slowed down around 26gbs. I'm fine with the 7gb I have rn. If I were to make use of unlimited tethering, I'd need truly unlimited since I do very heavy usage on any of my computer's. Usually 700-900 GB a month(and that's only download. Upload is around 200gb a month). Used to have an at&t business hotspot that I paid $125/month and used 300 or so GB a month for three months with no slow downs on it.
[T-Mobile LG V10 General] RussianBear:
Gotta pay to play. They "prioritize" your after 26, so it's not like it'll be slow 24/7. Annoying, sure. However, I haven't had home internet going on two years now. Worth it to me, based on my usage. With this tmo one stuff, they offer unlimited tethering, but of course, your primary usage has to be from your phone...
[T-Mobile LG V10 General] RussianBear:
The victory was only half-way declared... They somehow know when device(s) that connect to my router are tethered. Router is setup with an openvpn configuration and connects to the vpn server automatically. All IPs check out, as well as ttl values, but they're still able to tell. One thing that was strange was if I did not enable vpn thru the router, but instead thru the client, the speeds remained constant - undetected. This is fine and dandy, but I'd lose my chromecast functionality this way... If things get rough and I can't finger this one out, I might hop onto to their unlimited everything for $95/month instead of the simple choice one I got now.
[T-Mobile LG V10 General] mingkee:
If you have good home internet with VPN supported router, you can run VPN through your home
[T-Mobile LG V10 General] RussianBear:
Yes, but somehow they can tell...even with a vpn setup thru a router.
[T-Mobile LG V10 General] xXCoolGuYXx:
They can tell tho the t mobile app the one the shows your data you have to delete it and delete this the one that has the red # by it, that how they track you and can see everything on your phone and know it you have root or not and anything you do on your phone .
[T-Mobile LG V10 General] RussianBear:
Pr adapt was frozen and I've been freezing the tmo app also. Will try again.
[T-Mobile LG V10 General] xXCoolGuYXx:
Okay best of luck to you let me know how it goes because I just deleted them both but have to test out the unlimited tethering tho
[T-Mobile LG V10 General] RussianBear:
It for sure works in my desktop via usb tether and adjusted ttl. Wireless router is what's throwing me off still.
[T-Mobile LG V10 General] xXCoolGuYXx:
Why is it throwing you off what's it doing ?

How do you set VPN on your phone do you just download the app ?

---------- Post added at 01:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 AM ----------

An what's a good VPN app on phone and pc ?
[T-Mobile LG V10 General] RussianBear:
I'm using private internet access (it has android app as well). When I hook up thru my wireless router (usb tether from my phone to router), they can still count, even if I'm using my vpn. Router connects directly to the vpn server.
[T-Mobile LG V10 General] xXCoolGuYXx:
You have a logcat ? An what's the app called if you don't mind me ask and what's the program for pc
[T-Mobile LG V10 General] RussianBear:
No log cat. It's called vpn by private internet access.
[T-Mobile LG V10 General] xXCoolGuYXx:
Oh okay thanks so much I'll have to test this out to see if I can find out what is going on

---------- Post added at 02:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:22 AM ----------

Do you us the free one or do you pay ?
[T-Mobile LG V10 General] RussianBear:
I pay. If I don't enable the vpn thru the router, but do it on a client instead, it's all gravy. Must be something in the way my router is setup.
[T-Mobile LG V10 General] xXCoolGuYXx:
Have you try tor ?
[T-Mobile LG V10 General] RussianBear:
Nah. I mainly use the router to watch stuff thru chromecast.
[T-Mobile LG V10 General] AnonVendetta:
I've recently switched from T-Mo to MetroPCS not too long ago, it's prepaid $60 unlimited monthly. I'm still using T-Mo firmware, but am SIM-unlocked. Metro is owned by T-Mo and uses the same towers, so I assume the tethering strategies are pretty much the same. Or not?
[T-Mobile LG V10 General] Волк:
Yea, there must be some sort of api or some such. I have used a very good guide which involves fidlr on the pc and until the CEO had a cockroach crawl up his...and die (about heavy data users. Who uses a tb of data a month?) it worked. Then it didn't. No cear explanation.
[T-Mobile LG V10 General] RussianBear:
You can still get around it by enabling your vpn directly on the client instead, but that won't work on chromecast (my case). Been internet provider free for over two years now, so can't complain much lol
[T-Mobile LG V10 General] Волк:
Well on their new plan you have useless unlimited 3g and you can pay an extra I think $40 a month for unlimited 4g. My antivirus won't even update using the 3g tethering.
[T-Mobile LG V10 General] nathanski:
I have no tethering on my 50$ metro plan

There is a wifi option with pda net pc software and I don't think its ad hoc... It uses your wifi adapter... If you have an old laptop and want wifi for others or other devices it should run as a usb to wifi pc/router of sorts

Phone does not boot to ROM but only recovery. Must boot bootloader, "Normal Powerup"

My Moto G (2003) has TWRP. When I switch on the phone, it only boots into recovery TWRP 3.0.2.0, no matter what ROM I install.

However, when I boot the phone into bootloader mode and then select to do "Normal Powerup", the phone boots the installed ROM.

It is really strange.

Any hints on how to figure out what is happening? And how to fix?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lost101:

Once the partition was cleared up (and stayed zeroed out), the phone would boot to the ROM.

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _that:
Yes, ignore the error message. The infinite number of zeroes from /dev/zero doesn't fit into the limited space of a partition, but when you get the message the partition is already filled.

[Android Auto General] Spooky_b329:
Have just returned my Xtrons unit due to various issues, and looking to change it for a proper Android Auto unit.

Had a look at the Pioneer AVH-X8700BT and quite disappointed, horrible buttons and a creaky flexy facia, and the onscreen menus etc are cluttered and unintuitive. This is a shame as I could have got 20%/£100 off in Halfords.

So interested to hear from anyone who has tried the others. I keep seeing comments about a JBL unit but it seems the launch date keeps getting shoved back. Kenwood - I've not found much about these but not hugely impressed by the look of the on screen menus in the static photos.

The one that has really got my attention is the Sony XAV-AX100 that has supposedly just been released. The unit looks smart and doesn't appear to need neon footwell lamps and extra boost gauges to complement it, (!) and the Sony menus have similar clean/uncluttered look like the Android Auto section. Apparently its only available via Sony Centres and both my local stores haven't come back yet with availability :(
[Android Auto General] kc1:
I agree with your analysis of the options but i don't think the Sony product is released until December:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B01LY8222N/geizhals07-21/ref=nosim?m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE
[Android Auto General] Sir_Nomad49:
I personally got the Pioneer F88DAB (which is a european model) and I like the way it works. the menu is working quite well and I like the fact that I am able to adjust the screen tilt.

Android Auto works great at the device and I will upload a video of the device with android auto, so you can see how the menu and all the functions look like.

amazon
[Android Auto General] CadillacMike:
that JBL has been pushed back so many times, I would not have any faith in it. The top of the line Kenwood is over a grand, but I have seen some really good reviews on it and few bad reviews. That was my backup plan if I didn't like my Joying, but I love my Joying
[Android Auto General] kc1:
At £850, it's poor value - you could professionally install a tablet for a lot less. I think I'll wait for the Sony for x-mas
[Android Auto General] Sir_Nomad49:
That is true, but it was easier to install and I personally like the interface of it.

The Sony is a good choice. With a pioneer device you can use appradio or mirra cast.

When I am home, I will upload a video on how it is usable.
[Android Auto General] CayenneGTS:
I'm also looking forward to getting the Sony unit later this year. :good:
[Android Auto General] kc1:
Looks like it's available to order now

[Android Auto General] Richy101:
I have the previous model the Pioneer F77 DAB. Works very well. Back in the day halfords had it for something over £800 then by accident halfords listed at £600 so reserved one sharpish. Couple of days later it was back at its original price. I think someone had cocked up.

Far as android auto is concerned it works faultlessly. It's pretty quick booting up from off and reverse camera works straight away, not having to wait for unit to boot. Occasionally when turning vehicle key to on unit comes on as normal but if you then hesitate to start engine it seems to crash and take maybe a minute to boot again. Even reverse camera does not work when this happens. Unit comes on when key is turned to power but cranking engine robs power from unit so it turns off and on again. The crash is something to do with the stage of boot when power drops. In all the time I've had it, it has only happened maybe half a dozen times. Other than this it works faultlessly. Pioneer want stupid money for mapping updates for the built in satnav on the downside but half the time I use Google maps in AA for quickness. Pioneer has an app to connect the phone to on board sat navigation - AVICSYNC. It works but is very clunky. Waiting for Waze to become AA compatible but not holding my breath on that one.
[Android Auto General] Spooky_b329:
Well after failing miserably with two local Sony centres and also Sony online, I managed to find the unit for sale on Amazon! I'd set my heart on it and after three months with a gaping hole in the dashboard, its finally fitted!

First of all, its single DIN behind the facia so plenty of room for wiring looms, and simply slides in unlike the Android units that would need 30 minutes of trying to pull the cables around and still failing to get the facia flush. Also, as expected, it comes with a cage and standard mounting brackets so no bodging needed. Once fitted the unit sits neatly within the existing double din facia.

It starts up fast, works with my factory fitted reversing camera (unlike the Android units) and is simple to navigate. I was concerned about the 'cheap' resistive screen, but its actually very responsive and only needs a light touch.

The only issues I have so far;

1) The volume control knob needs a fair bit of spinning, it needs two or three goes to crank the volume down. I need to check the settings again to see if you can make the adjustment less fine.

2) If I connect the phone and play music on Spotify, and then start the engine, the unit powers down as normal during engine start. When it resumes, the music starts playing on the phone...I have to swipe across to a second screen and press a '+' speaker button to get the audio back through the vehicle speakers. A bug with my phone, or the radio? Something to look in to.

3) There is a limit to how many menu presses you can navigate, and unlike running Android Auto on the phone, instead of a momentary warning, it sticks until you navigate back home. Thats fine, although really irritating if your passenger is trying to find some tunes. But it does the same when stationary...I'm sure my handbrake is wired correctly but regardless, I'll be over-riding that feature as its in a campervan and I normally have a passenger!

4) Just to answer my own questions about the unit; No, the facia is not removable. No, it doesn't come with a remote control (a shame for a campervan!) And unlike the Android units, everything works seamlessly. i.e it doesn't freeze or get laggy, you don't need to wait ages for the unit to boot or Google Maps to load, and if you start the radio, Spotify etc will stop, rather than having two lots of audio competing for your attention :)
[Android Auto General] leonkernan:
Android Auto uses the phones GPS and maybe accelerometer to know when you've stopped.

On my Kenwood unit the handbrake sensor is grounded all the time and I still get that message.
[Android Auto General] typos1:
Re "And unlike the Android units, everything works seamlessly", not true - please see your points 1 and 2 !! :)

Re "unlike the Android units . . . it doesn't freeze or get laggy, you don't need to wait ages for the unit to boot or Google Maps to load", Android units per se dont have this problem, one particular type, with only 1GB RAM, Lollipop and a later version of Google Maps does, this can easily be sorted.

Glad youre happy with your new unit, enjoy.
[Android Auto General] terre08:
My unit came with a remote. I also find what I believe is a software bug, if you turn on the dimmer the maps will always be in night mode.
[Android Auto General] angelviper007:
I've got the same issue. As of 2.0 Android Auto uses the head units' GPS data. If your head unit doesn't have built in navigation (GPS), it won't remove the limitation even if stationary.

Link: https://productforums.google.com/d/msg/android-auto/8mvJEDnJUpU/pmejOMunAgAJ
[Android Auto General] terre08:
I found out it's by design by reading the user manual a bit better. The dimmer is connected to the headlights and when you turn on the lights it will go into night mode, unfortunately I use the lights 24/7 so I will install a toggle switch instead to turn on/off the daylight and the night mode. Pioneer has a a similar setting using the headlights but they also have a setting where you can set the time for night mode, hopefully Sony will have something similar in a future update.
[Android Auto General] Spooky_b329:
Thanks for the replies!

I've worked out that the unit is detecting the handbrake as the video playback from an SD card is interrupted. I see the comment about the Sony not having built in GPS causing Android Auto to keep the 6 press limit, thats annoying, lets hope its fixed in an update. Surely it can use my phones GPS signal to work out when I'm stopped!

Terre08, I'll send you a PM regarding your remote...interesting!

I find it funny that the dash is able to get the gps working on google maps and when it comes to the wing (MUMZZZ)the word.!

can someone help me if there is a logical answer and solution to my dilemma ...........
[Wing, P4350 General] fzzyrn:
this is wrong in sooooooooo many ways. first, neither the dash (HTC excalibur) nor the wing (HTC Herald/Atlas) have built-in GPS.

Google maps uses data, does it not? So theoretically, anywhere you have a data connection, you can use google maps.

If by gps you mean an external gps, it's only a matter of tethering your gps to your phone, which is relatively self-explanatory
[Wing, P4350 General] rosco32:
ok

so how is the dash able to track location on google maps also searches for gps and is successful . unless a buddy of mine has a special dash ..
[Wing, P4350 General] fzzyrn:
i believe google just implemented a new service that uses cellphone tower triangulation to determine an approximate location. does it show your friends location as a dot or a dot over a larger, lighter colored dot?
[Wing, P4350 General] TylerC161:
I was going to post this yesterday, but didnt get a chance to..

GPS on the wing is NOT possible, UNLESS using a gps device.

THOUGH, google maps (the newest version) has a way of attempting to find your location without GPS. It uses cell phone towers to triangulate your posistion. This is not as accurate as GPS though, it can be anywhere dead on your posistion, or it could be 1500 meters off. it just depends on the amount of cell coverage in the area.
[Wing, P4350 General] rosco32:
i dont know

if their using triangulation off of towers to get a position how com it doesn't work on my wing ? I have the new version of gmaps there has to be a way to implement a gps program into the wing come on people lets put our heads together something good has to come out off this
[Wing, P4350 General] papamopps:
ofcourse you can "implement a gps program" just connect teh wing to a gps-mouse und use one of these:

- tomtom

- mn

- navigator

- destinator

- route66

[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] decomposed:
I was wondering for the long time, for the first time I wanted blue one but finally decided for Black (brown).

I only regret it is not pure black, it would be better without changing the color to brown, but anyway already ordered.

I think Z5 Green color was better than current blue + the back was the best ever created among all the phones for me, matt premium glass without fingerprints and really nice feeling. I hope they will turn back to this matt glass back in future phones. I loved it in my Z5.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] beanxinh:
Cheers. But please note that under normal indoor lightning the blue will look a little dark.

IMO the brown look better (more special) than pure black. And the current blue is a little bit too dark.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] josephnero:
Personally I loved Z5 black(Gun metal? )color
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] Gkstates:
Actually got my note 7 replacement today in blue coral and i gotta say i was quite disappointed. The blue on gold trim is a nice combo but overall it feels very plastic-ish. Not as premium as the black onyx. Holding it on my hand and iphone 7 plus in the other, i could tell right away which one has better build. Hopefully Forest Blue XZ i ordered wont be in the same boat with note 7
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] junedkaka:
I was also confused to get blue or black.. I saw both in the showroom. Black is more elegant but the sides on the black feel cheap plasticky black and the blue looks extremely good under artificial lights plus its a exciting new color. SO bought the forest blue.

Would out a protective case soon so would not matter much:silly:

I got mine today. And the blue is definitely sleek and sexy. You wont regret it
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] murrayalex:
Is the blue actually blue or is it a greeny blue/teal sort of blue, if that makes sense. I'm tempted to get the blue as long as it's not a greeny blue otherwise will go for the silver as my Z5 is silver and I'm very happy with it.
[Sony Xperia XZ Questions & Answers] rmadrid7:
I was also worried about the Forest Blue XZ being more of a teal color because the promo photos make it look that way. I went ahead and ordered it and it is the perfect shade of blue. It is a really beautiful blue and it always looks different depending on the lighting conditions (sometimes darker or lighter), but the actual color is closer to navy blue than teal. It's up to you which one you get though. Hope you decide easily.

The cases they are going to release come in black anyway so could just get one of those and keep my blue.
