[General Questions and Answers] bcolling:
I'm trying to get an Ethernet TCP/IP connection between a Windows 7 PC and a Nexus 7 tablet running Android 6.01 (Marshmallow) using a "regular" USB cable (i.e., NOT using a USB to RJ45 dongle). The documentation I've found refers to this as "Reverse Tethering".

My problem is: I can't get the tablet to configure an RNDIS network device on the USB port. The following are notes on what I've tried and what I've seen:

On the Tablet:

* I enabled developer mode on the tablet. From the developer options, I enabled USB DEBUGGING, set the USB configuration to RNDIS (USB Ethernet), and plugged the other end of the cable into the PC.

* I'm a little concerned that in the Settings->Wireless & networks->more menu, there isn't a "tethering & portable hotspot" option on the tablet. I believe this option only applies to tethering of the WiFi network, so I don't think it's an issue.

* On the tablet, I entered the command sequence:

setprop sys.usb.config 'rndis'

ip rule add from all lookup main

ip addr flush dev rndis0

The last command fails because there isn't a rndis0 device. Further, the first two commands have no impact on the devices listed with ifconfig (i.e., rndis device still missing)

On the Windows 7 PC:

* When the tablet is plugged in, the Network Adapter "Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device" appears in the Device Manager->Network adapters list.

* I configured the "Remote NDIS based Internet Sharing Device" with a static IP address and Subnet mask.

* The Local Area Connection associated with the RNDIS device shows a status of "Network cable unplugged" in the Network and Sharing Center.

Again, none of the steps described above have resulted in an RNDIS interface (or any change at all) in the list provided by ifconfig on the tablet.

Any ideas or suggestions would greatly appreciated.

Thanks

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] xchatter:
Hi guys,

Anyone knows the best place to purchase V30 in Europe?

I am currently in Bulgaria and the operators here are unlikely to have it in their inventory. :/

I can't purchase from USA because of customs policy.

Thanks!
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] fallenwout:
I find it very troublesome that 2 months after the introduction, Europeans still don't have a v30.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] donky kong 017:
yeah. agree.

ive posted it before. i saw the V30 at IFA in Berlin and wanted to have it from second one.

but now that the pixel 2, mate 10, razr phone, u11+ were shown. there are plenty of other possibilities. maybe not that full of a package but one could go without some features and buy a phone thats actually available
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] xchatter:
I guess LG does not have the resources right now to do a massive rollout like the big guys from Samsung, Huawei or Apple. :/
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] donky kong 017:
yeah probably but sadly so. what i just dont unterstand is why they cant give clear statements. they could have just said something instead of letting potential customers look and wait. i guess most of the people have bought another phone already or will do so soon.

i want that phone so badly, but even for me its hard to wait any longer with now clear statement.

Btw at least a little bit is going on:

https://geizhals.eu/lg-electronics-...c=uk&hloc=eu&v=e&togglecountry=set#filterform

and one can guess an approximate release from the dealers

something around the 20th of November or in around 3 weeks or in 1-3 month. something in between.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] marker33:
In Europe, the LG V30 is not yet available in normal trade.

In Germany, it is available for a week, but only with a contract and exclusive to the provider 1 & 1. Here I ordered my V30 and I got it on Tuesday last week.

The German Media Markt currently calls a delivery time of 10 days. Therefore, it will be in about 2 weeks as a free device to buy.

Then it will certainly be available at Online Stores that deliver to Bulgaria.

Otherwise there is Ebay. Here first dealers offer the Canadian or the Korean model. But here you should first check whether these devices also support the networks of the Bulgarian network operators.

My advice: wait another 2-3 weeks and then order it at an online store of your choice. The link from the previous post to geizhals.eu is a good tip.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] xchatter:
I am waiting for now. In the end if I don't get the V30, I will have to go to the next option - Note 8. But this is my plan B.

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] 1979Sentinel:
But it is still a preorder without an indication on delivery.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] donky kong 017:
I know. But that's LGs fault. Because they are not giving proper Etas not even to the dialers.

Closest thing i found was 20.11 from one dealer on Geizhals. Guess from all we know it will be around that time
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Luin1:
it's 22.11 and still no word of a clear ETA in Europe.

I wonder if they had some issues with the screens and instead of releasing units with bad screens, they delayed release in markets where the legal warranty is 2 years or more.. to cut back on future expenses with units send back because of such faults
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Javi22:
So I just wonder what do you prefer...Do you use custom rom or stay in OOS due to camera/other reasons?

Also I would like to ask you how much worse is camera in custom roms :confused: I have not tried yet and dont have the time right now
[OnePlus 5 Guides, News, & Discussion] WaxysDargle:
camera sucks in most custom ROMs, but there are a few that have OOS camera working with portrait mode, and i have a hard time telling the difference between them and stock

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rigo88:
Hi!

It suddenly rebooted once, I thought the LineageOS was too much for it since I have upgraded it a month ago (maybe two)

Then I had troubles downgrading to a stock FW which was a Lollipop 501 if I'm right. I had to restart the procedure with Odin 2-3 times until it worked.

To be able to get through the initial setup I had to let the phone rest for an hour to let it cool down.

I'm guessing the soldering between the board and the chip got loose or the contacts are imperfect because of the constant overheating.

Can it be? Would a threatment with a heat gun solve this? My PS4 was damaged because of bad cooling / overheating and I could repair it with the heat gun before. Easy-peasy.

It was borrowed from a friend living faaaar away, hence I haven't tried it with the S4 yet. I'm not sure tho' if I can use such a heat on a tiny phone board as on a much bigger PS4 board. (Even the cpu is bigger than the whole mobo of the phone)

One thing is sure, a hair dryer - with maximum heat dead close for 5 minutes - didn't do the trick :D But that's not even close to the performance of a heat gun.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Hair dryers don't get hot enough to melt solder. A heat gun would work but you have one big issue to overcome: the heat shield. You have to remove the heat shield from the motherboard, then wrap the entire board except the SoC in aluminum foil before applying the heat gun. However, I don't believe a heat gun will help you in this case.

I would get the device checked out by someone who repairs smartphones before attempting to take the device apart to apply the heat gun. The symptoms you are having are not consistent with a SoC lifting from the board.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rigo88:
thanks!

what else can it be? i can do a thing or two with electronic devices even if i don't have exact training in the field in question. let's put it this way: if you tell me what to do i can do it. also the board has got about 5 bigger parts and a bunch of small ones. it isn't "rocket surgery" :D

i don't know about heat shield, i removed the mobo and it looks just like this:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bd/Samsung_Galaxy_S4_I9505_mainboard.jpg

my second thought is that the memory (call it whatever you want) is at its lifecycles end? (too many read/writes, stuff like that?)

it isn't about software that's for sure. as the lcd works i can just buy another s4 broken in two with working mobo and deal with it that way. faster and seems easier (maybe also cheaper) if the heat gun thing wouldn't work.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The side of the board where the SIM card and MicroSD card slots are is the heat shield I was referring to. The card slots are actually stuck to the top of the shield using adhesive. Underneath that shield is the SoC and flash memory. In order to get the board to appear like the picture you likely removed the heat shield.

As to what it could be? A faulty surface mounted component on the board, but without a tech to diagnose it there's no way to know which component failed. If you can frankenstein one good phone out of two, assuming both phones are the same model, I would. The cost to repair it simply isn't worth it today.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rigo88:
yeah that's what i thought.

i think you are wrong with the sim-sdcard compartment. that i have already exchanged once when i had this "no sim card detected phone rebooting" annoying issue. under this sim-sd part is nothing but the plain board with a 2 sided sticky layer. but no chips, no nothing.

but it doesn't really matter since i'll just get a new(er) phone and that's it.

thanks anyway for the help! :)

cheers

[MENTION=5186117]rigo88[/MENTION]: You're most likely right. It was three years ago that I had replaced my SIM card tray, and I'm not about to take my S4 apart again just to check, even though it no longer serves as my daily driver.

I wish you luck with your new device.
[SuperSU] hrs90:
I have this Obamaphone (ZTE Quest N817) and I think I have exhausted my rooting options. I have tried Eroot, Kingoroot one click root, ADB, etc... Nothing seems to works. Kingoroot is supposed to be the app that can root this phone but everytime it fails at 71% and I have tried it many,many times. Developer Options is enabled and so is USB debugging. I am not an expert on android phones but is it because the phone's bootloader is locked? If so, how does one go about unlocking it. There's no such option in developer options.

[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Emhdroid:
Got my new phone today.

It had the most recent update ready and I installed.

I know there has been several updates recently. Would all the prior updates have already be installed on the phone or do I need to get them from somewhere.

If I recall I have to load the essential camera app from the play store

THanks for your help
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] balane:
If your phone says no more updates are available then everything is current.

You ca't get the Google camera app from the Play Store, you'll need to download it from the camera thread in this same section and install it yourself.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] Emhdroid:
OK thanks.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] TheDethEgineer:

[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] umchriswho:
Just wanted to spread it out just in case you guys didn't know, or are having problems with it.

So basically, here's the problem you may be encountering:

Before, when you connected to Activesync, you shared your internet connection with your PDA enabling you to surf the net on your mobile phone without actually having to turn on wi-fi through comm manager.

Now you have a problem, it doesn't work any more and all you get is an error saying something like "Uknown error 0x80072f78", right? Well, if that's the case, I have the perfect solution (I did not create the solution, but easily researched it online).

Here's the FIX

-Right click the above link, save as...,(it would be easier if you just save it to your desktop), then right click the .reg file, and click "yes".

Success! Hope all goes well!
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] marriedman624:
This isn't specific to the Pixel 2, but are any of you using an Aux-to-Bluetooth adapter to allow bluetooth streaming to your car radio? My current setup is an Aux cable in the 3.5 mm jack of my S5, but when I get the Pixel 2, I don't want to have to rely on that if I can use bluetooth.

Post your adapters and how you like them.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] skullzaflare:
Thats good that you dont want to do a 3.5, since having to use the type C to 3.5 then 3.5 to radio would be cumbersome and annoying.

I had a cheap 3.5/bluetooth module in the past that was rubbish. I have since put a bluetooth radio in the car VERY worth it.
[Google Pixel 2 Accessories] rob61280:
I use an MPOW Streambot to accomplish the setup you described. It's powered via a USB cable and auto pairs when I turn the ignition on.

I use the MPOW with my Shure SE-215's to stream music from my phone while I sleep. Great little device. I've owned a lot of Bluetooth receivers over the years and they all were complete garbage. I've had my MPOW for over a year now with no issues at all.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Velrix:
So I have been having some major issues with battery drain and not sure why. When I was stock I would see this as well on 14a and now on 15a. I am stock rooted and removed RCTD with the app.

Wakelock App shows usage from RILJ? Not sure why. It seems like turning Bluetooth off occasionally stops the drain and heat so fast but it starts back again after the fact.

I have factory reset a few times to rid this issue that keeps randomly popping up. The only other thing I am guessing it may be is Samsung Health possibly causing this but the wake lock doesn't show that.

I am running on Cricket and have not had any MMS issues until I got the 8.1 update. I have tried different APN settings and they don't seem to help any. I have also tried to use textra but it will not send or recieve MMS. I have also Reset to Defaults but no changes made there.

Any suggestions on what might be the issue?

Thanks in advance.

How do FB messenger and Snapchat send pictures? Because those apps work fine, it's just MMS via text
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] charliemarie:
The issue seems to be only related to Cricket and the 8.1 update. It's clearly a bug that's affecting the APN settings. In some cases a duplicate APN is created automatically on update and the issue is resolved when this is deleted. Some other users have reported that they need to create a duplicate APN after updating and then when they delete the duplicate the problem is solved. Bit of a long shot but maybe it works!

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] chrisxpratt:
I have two apns both internet:ndo. Do I need to have root or anything? And is it simply just deleting the second entry??
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] Pyropanda:
I had the same problem (Cricket and 8.1) and also had the duplicate APN appear. Deleting the 2nd APN didn't work for me, so I deleted both (so I had no APNs), removed and reinserted the sim card, and added a new APN manually following the directions from the Cricket website.

You do not need root to do this.
