I use the "Block This" app. It only creates a LOCAL VPN, so your data does not go through a different server, at least as I understand it. Been using it for several months, and really like it. Works as well as the rooted ad blockers I used to use. Blocks ads in apps and browsers.

Disconnect Pro appears to work, as long as you haven't disabled KNOX.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] lvpre:
Disconnect Pro is pretty decent and free right now too...otherwise, it is about 25 dollars. Also, check out Adguard, they do local VPN, but does come at a slight battery price though. Trade off for not having root and avoiding ads....though they do help sites and apps continue to function.

Good Evening All

I have a verizon S5 G900V.

When sending a message to a UK Number starting with +44, I get the following error:

View attachment 4049770

However, when the number starts with 0, the message sends fine.

My phone is rooted, hence any suggestions to overcome this problem will be appreciated.

Kind Regards

Is your phone from another country? I'm thinking maybe to do with modem/carrier

the uk's international label is +44, but the USA one is +1

0044 and 001
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] #problem:
Yes, it is the Verizon model hence from the US. However, I am using it in ths UK. Sending texts numbers starting +44 results in that message. If I edit the number to start with 0, then the message sends.

sounds like its the phones automatic tendency to think its in america since its a verizon phone. Might be inherent in the ROM and part of the dialer. Could also be a setting in the dialer that would also govern texting since it uses phone numbers

Is there a way to disable GPRS data WITHOUT disabling HSDPA?

(I see the reverse is possible - you can disable HSDPA from [Settings > Connections] and still do GPRS.)

I have three X series and do not want to get roaming data fees. For those uinfamiliar with threes plans, the HSDPA is very cheap but when you frequently and un noticed roam off their network onto GPRS you slugged with large roaming fees.

Ideally I need plain GPRS data always blocked unless I over ride it and at the same time HSDPA always enabled.

Anyone seen a way to do this. I am aware of Modaco "No Data" but it does not fit the bill for what I want.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Vexamus:
Yes, indeed there is. Your post prompted me to figure it out. while I don't get hit with roaming or charges for jumping on edge or GPRS, I do really like the 3G service I have and my house is covered. Usually though it's when I'm driving and listening to internet radio or something, It'll jump onto GPRS/EDGE and the buffer will underrun, not great.

So... your question caused me to figure it out.

It's actually in the phone menu however, if you don't have it setup you have to enable this particular tab.

Real Simple Method:

Start -> Settings -> Personal -> Phone

Click the band tab, set network type to WCDMA and leave GSM/UMTS to Auto(don't change this otherwise you'll cripple your phone's ability to tower hop.)

IF you don't have this tab here's how you enable it in the registry.

Either manually edit your registry and navigate to HKLM\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting and change ShowUMTSBandPage to "1"

Or just import my included registry file to enable that tab. Soft-reset for fun and voila. I've done this tweak now and now my phone stays on 3g even when the GPRS signal is far better. I'm quite happy with this setup.

Enjoy
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Lidberg:
On a stock Tilt, even if that reg key is set to 1, it still does not show the Band tab.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] logger:
Vexamus. No this it not a solution for me as it changes both Voice AND Data. Making the switch you recommend, kills my voice capability as I am currently roaming. I need to be able to make calls when roaming outside of my home WCDMA network. It is only Data that I want to restrict.

Furthermore having done this, when I set the phone network back to Auto to restore voice, I could not get any sort of connection to re establish. Data or Voice - nada. Even after powering the phone and device on and off!

To fix this I went to the lower GSM/UMTS band box and as I know I am roaming right now, set it to away from Auto to the first GSM option. This allowed the connection to re establish then I set it back to Auto and all is OK again.

So if anyone else sets their network type away from Auto while roaming you may need to toggle your GSM/UMTS band settings to get things back. Once back you can set both to Auto.

ammended Q.

Is there a way to disable GPRS DATA without disabling HSDPA and at the same time without effecting phone/voice roaming?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Juzzman:
I am interested in this too
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Vexamus:
Sorry that didn't work out for you, mate.

I don't have that roaming problem, I have UMTS coverage everywhere I go so no biggie. And I've been flipping the setting back and forth all day and never had any issue with not being able to reconnect. I'll keep researching it.

I don't think that setting the band is possible with an AT&T rom; moreover, I think it also has to do with the radio version.

Hi all Last night I had the OTA update to android 7.0 I am now having problems charging the phone with cable. I have it set so it makes a sound when you plug in and start charging. Since the update it makes the sound but then keeps doing it and keeps coming up on the screen fast charging. It keeps doing it over and over so you cant do anything with the phone while plugged in as it keeps coming up on the screen. It works fine if I put the fone on my cordless charger pad its fine.

Also keep getting a red line down the right side of the screen, sometimes for a few minutes sometimes for a few hours, this has been happening for a few weeks.

Any advise please

Interesting... I have recently experienced the *exact same problem*, tried different cables, and I was almost about to give up to desperation and panic of assuming the charging/usb pin became faulty...

Now I'm seeing a bit of hope on it.. will try to reflash a stock rom from scratch (including wiping everything) and see if that helps me, too.

If it does, I think we're looking at a Nougat kernel fast-charging bug here, that may be affecting certain hw models...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] kjt57:
I had an online chat with Samsung and they have told me to take it to a service centre for them to look at it. Luckily there is one 20 miles away so will take it in on my next day off.

They said they will do most repairs on same day and it is still under warranty.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] kjt57:
Don`t believe it took it to the shop he plugged it in and it charged fine. not sure if he used a fast charger or standard charger. He did say with android 7.o if you are charging with a fast charger and you use the phone it turns off fast charging and reverts to normal charge. But they are going to replace the screen because of the pink line down it and he said the charging port will be changed at the same time. Will be ready tomorrow, they did not have it in stock.

Hey guys,

at first, I am new to xda, at least as an active asker. My issue seems to be standard but actually I have not found a single solution for it after one month of extended search. After several bootloop issues I decided to flash a custom recovery, what worked out but unfortunally i cannot give you the exact way i managed it. Now my phone defaultly boots into my TWRP, where i have to press REBOOT->SYSTEM to boot actual android. How can I change that to a normal boot pattern?

Huawei G6-U10

Custom ROM based on B360(Android 4.4.2)

Thx in advance.

Thig

I had a boot loop on a Huawei ascend g6-u10 recently after unlocking boot loader. I held the off / on button for about three minutes the phone eventually turned off. I then fully changed the phone, waited about an hour switched on the phone, then back to normal. I could have just been lucky, maybe a missing file.

I don't remember how it was before but over the last days I've been having a problem that's making me crazy. When texting, the left side of the keyboard acts like it wasn't calibrated, I press 'a' and it usually presses the 's' or both. I press the shift key and it presses the Z one. Also, on Instagram the like button doesn't work, it's on the left.

Anyone had a problem like this?

there is one but you need unlocked bootloader or s-off device

here it is

* download the latest twrp 3.1.1-0

* grab any modded firmware package

* delete all files inside the zip except "android-info.txt" edit that text to match your device info

* rename the twrp img to "recovery" then put it with "android-info.txt" and zip it

* put it in your sd card root formatted as fat32 then reboot to bootloader (hboot) and confirm the flash process

* reboot to recovery after the flashing complete then do a full backup and flash supersu.zip

There are a few stock roms in your devices Android Development section in the forum you could try. Here's a random one I spotted that seems like a good option:

https://xdaforums.com/m4-aqua/development/rom-6-0-1-xperia-m4-aqua-t3423264

The key is to go with a stock, or stock-based, rom for the best stability.

Or you could reflash the actual, official, stock rom from Sony themselves. They have a tool called Xperia Companion that can reflash the latest rom on any Xperia device with a locked bootloader: http://support.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/xperia-companion/

If your bootloader's unlocked, you might be able to use "Emma" instead: https://developer.sonymobile.com/open-devices/flash-tool/use-the-flash-tool-for-xperia-devices/

Hope this helps!

I have Xperia Z 1 s, that I manage to network unlock but the bootloader is locked and it says it cannot be unlocked.

Apart consequence of this is I cannot Mount the system partition in read write mode using various command suggested in other XDA posts. I am not really very eager to use a custom rom but I can always use one if it is not such a bother.

I would like to know if anyone had luck mounting the system in read write mode with a bootloader that is permanently locked. If I can Mount system in read write I will be able to uninstall all the crap ware ... and have the equivalent of custom install using the stock ROM.

So there are two aspects to this question I would like to know how bootloader can be unlocked which is marked as "unlock no" ( we attach pictures) and you that is not possible at least give me a sure shot method of mounting system in read write mode.

From what I know about the the bootloader unlocking there is TA partition and some posters are warning about replacing the TA partition which will cause permanent bricking off the device

Still I wanted to know if anyone has achieved success in changing the bootloader unlock no flag to unlock yes

And if unlocking bootloader is not possible then how do I Mount /system in read write mode

I've been having issues with battery drain and recently some apps aren't notifying me so I know it's time for a back up and restore. I figured since Nougat is out and seems to be tweaked to a working version, I might as well just flash that. (I haven't gotten the update yet w/ E583 UK version.)

I'm a TOTAL noob when it comes to flashing and resetting - I rooted a Samsung previously but never modded my Z5C at all. I need a good guide for how to flash the rom and do everything I need to do to back up/restore/flash a new ROM.

At the moment, I'm downloading FlashTool 0.9.23.1 but need to know where to get an official version of .376 or .378. I am coming from 32.2.A.0.305 Android 6.0.1 unmodded and don't need to root. TIA!

I really just need the regular ftf file but don't know where the most reliable one is. Got one from somewhere but didn't try that one. Flashtool won't recognize my device but I might have figured that out from using Xperia Companion. Companion says my phone is up to date so I'm just repairing it from there and reinstalling my current os. (6.0.1 I guess) Still would like the latest Nougat though.
