How do you tell if it's working? The meter stops advancing, or you simply keep your data speeds when you hit maximums? I'd hate to burn through the month only to find out it's not working and then begin a debug process.

Wow. Verizon is a lot smarter than AT&T, I'd been hotspotting 50GB+ data on a mediaNET/data unltd for non-smartphones up until yesterday.

Just wanted to share my experience, I went with the $35 unlimited everything option which includes no hotspot whatsoever... soooo

I suppose details are important, I read all 12 pages and it seems like a lot of people having issues are with iPhones..

Using a rooted HTC, the first thing I did was fix the "tethering rules" in /system/customize/ACC/default.xml (This may be specific to HTC, not sure)

(Changed <item type="integer" name="TetheringGuard_Rule">0</item; <item type="integer" name="hotspot_rule">0</item)

This allows the phones native stock hotspot app to not complain about anything and simply turn on. So now comes the device I want to attach to main phones data connection, I've just always had 2 phones, one for passing SafetyNet for certain things that I can't do because of OG xposed on main device. Stealthy Magisk Riru w/ EdXposed @ secondary;)

So anyway, again, Terminal Emulator on the SECOND PHONE, we want the TTL to be 65, since the stock value is 64, not 66 because there's only one hop.

I disable IPv6 on BOTH my devices. Change TTL at the same time.

# sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1
# sysctl -w net.ipv4.ip_default_ttl=65

Once my secondary device is connected, I can re-enable IPv6 on my primary device without ill-effect, unless for some reason the connection drops or reboot occurs.

And that's it, I'm pulling the same speeds on both devices, if I were to connect a PC into the mix though, I'd recommend the VPN due to the deep packet inspection, we don't know 100% what they are or aren't looking for (right?) I'm assuming it's a good deal harder for Red to differentiate between two mobile devices, vs a computer.

Don't forget to TURN OFF WIFI AND BACK ON @ secondary device!!

Very, very, very pleased with the results, glad I didn't have to spend too much time but it was a fun informational challenge ^_^ and I get to eat my cake at the end :highfive: Good riddance, AT&T!!

Edit: Just to clarify, the

# sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.disable_ipv6=1

is executed on

both

devices (as root/su, hence '#') via Terminal Emulator, don't change the TTL on the primary device. I'm sure there's other ways of getting the same result via adb, this is just how I do it personally. Happy unthrottling!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] SublimeFoxTheater:
Thank you so much for this, I have their crappy service as rural whole house internet for years, going to try this on OpenWRT router with LTE, wish me luck I have not ordered one yet but I plan to and pop in my sim card and add iptables for non standard TTL and hope for the best. Verizon how I hate thee.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] flinginarrows:
mififield, I would love a copy of the settings if you still have it laying around!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] SublimeFoxTheater:
I looked for one of those routers but they all say they don't work with verizon sim cards :(

Also I have a mifi device and tried the setting hop limit and using vpn and it did not work I got the limit email notification instantly about hotspot usage from verizon.

Sorry to raise false hope.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] Maleko48:
Hey all, just thought I'd give an update and let you all know, the 600k throttle bypass still works for me! :)

I just tried it on my LG V60 w/4G LTE service from Verizon.

Turned on my phone's hotspot and connected my PC to it as per usual. Set PC's TTL to 65 for both ipv4 and ipv6 using:

netsh int ipv4 set glob defaultcurhoplimit=65

in a command prompt with admin privileges. Tested with SpeedTest.net.

Alternatively, it would appear simply being connected to my VPN with Window's default TTL=128 also bypasses the throttle limit as well without the need to modify any settings in Windows' CLI.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] cognitivedissonance:
Hi there, I'm using a Pixel 2XL on stock rooted 9.0 with Magisk 22.0. I'm using Verizon with one of the unlimited plans that does allow you to use your data to tether via WiFi hotspot or USB, however it *severely* throttles the speed to unusable levels. Am I understanding correctly that in order to bypass that throttling I'd need to have admin privileges on my Windows 10 laptop? It's a work device that's locked down, so if I don't have that, it's a no go, correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] SublimeFoxTheater:
IF there is no password keeping you out of bios, you can usually turn off secure boot and load a linux live distribution and have admin rights and any other access you want. I could never get this method to work, but I never tried with vpn. I know it's not the answer for everyone but Verizon finally is offering hotspot device plans. The one I'm on is $40 for 50 GB high speed per month. So far it has been enough. The next plan up is $60 for 100GB. I can finally stream and verizon also includes with post paid plans the Disney bundle. If this worked for any of you I'm glad it never did for me. I think the people claiming it works were not about the usage threshold of 15GB.

[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] abhishek17:
Hi,

I want to understand battery performance of Moto G5s plus. I am seeing that battery life of my phone is very poor. It goes down to 70% from 100% in an hour with just usage of YouTube.

When i received my cell phone i haven't full charge it's battery before starting it. I have full charged my battery when it was 40% remaining. While the official manual says that, we need to full charge it before starting our cell phone.

Does Moto G5s plus need full charge of battery before start (when we are starting our phone just after unboxing)?

Anyone have similar issue?

How's battery life holding for others?

Thanks,

Abhishek
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] tarun0:
My phone's battery drained 12% for three and a half hour screen use (browsing, messenger etc. and Mortal Kombat - only 20 mins, though). The screen is almost at the least brightness.

I too faced q similar issue as yours. Turned out it was because of some app Battery HD or DNS something app (used to block ads) or maybe some other third-party app. I uninstalled all those and the performance improved significantly.

Give it a try.

Did you full charge your phone before you switch it ON for the first time?
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] aow1980:
I would check for a rogue app draining the battery. I've had the phone for a week now and the shortest SOT I've had was 3hrs. That was with streaming music through Bluetooth while driving for 13hrs. My average ok normal day has been 5hrs with 35 percent left on battery.
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] Jleeblanch:
No issues with battery life here. I didn't fully charge my device when I first unboxed it. Matter of fact, I didn't charge it until that night.

I've had this device since Saturday, so it's hard to say exactly how well battery life is exactly, but based on what I've seen so far...it's pretty damn good. I took it off the charger 5 hours ago and it currently says I have 2 days left. I haven't used it much today as I'm at work, but I have a feeling something isn't right with your setup [emoji848]
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] Jleeblanch:
Being nobody else has posted any screenshots, figured I'd show mine [emoji6]
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] tarun0:
No. Instead, I used it until the battery discharged to 0. Then I charged it to 100 and used it till the battery drained to 0. Did the same like thrice. I really doubt such a thing had any effect on battery, though.
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] Webern:
Did you try holding it in your left hand, hopping on your right foot, waving it around and around your head, shouting "go battery go go charge"? I reckon it's got as much chance of making a difference as anything else. It's a lithium ion battery - just charge it when you think that you're going to need it to last longer than it would if you didn't charge it, and make sure you fully charge it if you intend leaving it unused for months. Anything else is cargo cult nonsense.
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] tarun0:
Haha! I only replied to what the OP asked. BTW my intention to drain the battery to 0 before charging was to measure the time it takes to get fully charged from 0.
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] Loccy:
I had to lol at that. Moved to the Moto from a seriously battery impaired Nexus 6P and that was about the only thing I didn't try.

"Go battery go go charge" is now our household meme for "I have to charge my phone". Thank you.
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] abhishek17:
Yes, you are right. Old batteries needed to full charge before switching it ON for the first. What i find surprising is that Moto is saying the same for new generation batteries and printing it in Manual.
[Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers] iobling:
I finally got a fresh new g5s plus and so far I can't complain about the battery life. On my second charge I got 2 days of battery with 8 and a half hour of screen on, but only a few calls, and almost always wifi. The next days I'm using the phone lot heavier with lot of GPS and calls, so we'll see then how it's going but so far I'm very satisfied.

By the way I haven't fully charged the phone out of the box but I've waited untill it was almost fischarged
[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madshark2009:
why is recording mic is good on all apps and is actually very high on some (phone app) in AOSP roms like carbon rom and all those roms

but when it comes to whatsapp! the recording is very very low I shove the phone down my throat and yell and still maybe get to 25% volume loudness compared to stock rom!?

is there a fix for this? I am addicted to AOSP roms cuz they are A LOT snappier than sony software and this issue really kills

and before any one jumps and says "record on a recording app and attach the file in whatsapp" its not so easy talking to some one urgently (other wise I would take my time typing) and have to use different apps and keep going back and forth... i need a fix please

[Magisk] larrythil:
Hello,

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S6(64GB, Exynos) with Magisk-root. But I have the issue that it automatically uninstalls. And suddenly it’s unroot. Then I have to reinstall the Magisk-vXX.X.zip with TWRP (X.XX is the version, for example: 14.0 or 13.3). But after some hours it is uninstalled again and I lost the root access.

Then I have to repeat this...

Does someone have the same problem? Or does someone know how to fix this?

I don't want to reinstall the Magisk-package everytime i need root-access.. And I don't want to switch to another root because I like the Magisk-hide-function.

Or are there other roots with hide function?

(I don't want to install a Custom ROM!)

Thank you :)

Hi ! I have sale problem with my S8+ with custom rom and Custom kernel
[Magisk] AndyQVT:
Hello.

I am having the same issue with my S6. I have tried all of the advice from previous threads with regard to different versions of Magisk.. (Removing Busy Box / Not using the Magisk Hide feature... etc etc..). I have also been through as many extra options as I can think of, getting all of the "Update" patches from the other developers who have helped with the Magisk project.

Each time, I have run through all of the aditional scripts to make sure SU and Magisk have been completely removed prior, and then used Odin to do a recovery back to my Original ROM (a complete system backup image I previously saved).

The other interesting observation i have at the moment is that i can not get to the Log cat files to post them anywhere. I can see where they are supposed to be but the directory is empty "no files". I have even been as far as downloading one of the many "Mobile Forensic" software kits to try and see if there is anything wrong with my phone.

There is only one observation to report. It seems that after installing Magisk (even if you just install the main ROM and not the manager). Google play starts to download straight away... I am not sure what it is downloading as it doesn't ever seem to complete and all of my versions of the apps are up to date.

I hope I will be able to get some more usefull information for you soon (LogCat etc etc.). If any one has an answer or suggested options it would be good. I am particularly interested in getting the Busy Box feature to work with Root as I am working on an app for my job that needs both options (I work offshore and am trying to adapt a piece of Seismic QC software (unix based) to run on phones / tab's - Android).

I will sign up properly and start to follow the threads more closely.

Cheers... Andy

-Samsung S6 - Full Magisk Module (with recommended zeroflte TWRP).
[Magisk] Nye-uhls:
So long story short, there's no definitive solution to the problem. Im using a g920p with a custom kernel built by a genius dev, and i still lose root once a day.

Basically what it comes down to is modules. If you have zero modules, you'll have better luck... But that's not the point of magisk, so you need to be picky with modules. Use osmosis's busybox from the magisk repo, but other than that, install modules 1 at a time and see if it affects root.

Another tip: uninstall all updates of the "device maintenance" app, and find it in Google play and turn off automatic updates. Then go to device maintenance > battery > unmonitored apps and magisk manager to the list of unmonitored apps... Then go back the battery screen, battery usage > 3 dots in top right > optimize battery usage, and make sure magisk manager is not optimized... That should help some. (Note: some models don't have device maintenance, but you'll still have the "optimize battery usage" option some where.)

The Google play thing you're seeing is likely "instant apps" updating. I believe that should be unrelated to all this, but some aspects of instant apps is a mystery.

As for the logcat thing, i believe you're getting logcat confused with the magisk_debug.log located in /data ? If that's the case, you need to be using the beta version of magisk. Go to magisk and set the update channel to beta, you'll get a notification to update magisk, download it and flash. (Or if the recommended native install is an option, use that)

I recommend just using he normal 14.3 magisk... You'll have issues, but they will be predictable and easy to solve with a simple reboot. There's really no final solution for us unfortunately, just making it as stable as possible.

Lastly, it helps if once every once in a while you fully uninstall magisk with the uninstall.zip, reboot (you might not get a bootloop, in which case hold volume up +power+ home to boot into recovery), reflash magisk 14.3, and then wipe cache and art/davik.

[Magisk] AndyQVT:
Thanks to all for the help

Hello again.

So in response.

I followed the advice given... (just as a note previously the root issue would happen within an hour of restarting the device). I have been to the beta thread and read through all advice. Before jumping to the Magisk 14.3, I started with Magisk 14.2, there was a post recommending this as a critical update to Magisk 14.0.

I had no issues with this install (I had once again used my backup to revert the phone back to all original).

I then added any of the modules i wanted one at a time waiting over an hour before looking at adding any additional modules.

So far, I have not lost root and the phone is working as expected (alot better infact). I have all the Busybox modules +add-on's running, still no issues.

The upgrade to v14.2 seems to have fixed all for my uses.

Thanks to all for help and advice.

Andy
[Magisk] Nye-uhls:
Glad everything is good! Sometimes magisk will get messed up, so just updating or even reinstalling will fix things.

Just keep in mind, its very likely you'll have problems again down the road... Samsung phones do a lot of weird stuff under the hood, and eventually symlinks will get broken, files deleted etc... So when that does happen, the best you can do is uninstall, reflash, update, and watch your modules.

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Accessories] theplasmastorm:
I know the phone is just barely released, but did anyone get a case for their phone yet? I'm looking for one that's akin to the otterbox commuter cases. They have rubber corners wrapped by a hard shell. The front is slightly raised, so the phone's screen never touches the ground with the screen down.

The official SCSG60 case looks super sleek but it looks like it blocks view of the notification led, so you'll never know if you have something waiting for you when the flap's closed. Whose decision was that? On the back, they made a hole for the camera and led flash but I don't you can't even use the camera with the flap closed, so what's the point?

I guess another thing to keep in mind with cases is whether the fingerprint sensor should be accessible for easy unlocking. Most cases will cover up all four sides of the phone.
