[General Questions and Answers] TehZig:
It's possible the no root firewall is using the phone's built in VPN feature to function. The VPN could be used to set the firewall restrictions.

If this is the case their VPN could be hosted thorugh amazon's web service.

This would explain why it wouldn't need root access and why several apps, including stock, are routing to the same site.

I personally recommend NetGuard for a VPN non-root firewall. It tends to route firewalled traffic back to your device, also known as "home" or loop IP 127.0.0.1. While you can download NetGuard from the play store the GitHub apk has a few extra features.
[Android General] Fluffle:
I have had somewhat of a revelation, the idea to get unlimited mobile data seems far fetched, I understand, and I don't usually come to forums like this to share my ideas but this one was too good. I have a Go Binge plan with three mobile and it means I get unlimited data with Netflix and TVplayer but 8GB otherwise. If I can get unlimited to those services, surely I could somehow Spoof those websites to make all traffic seem directed through either of them in some way and get free unlimited data. In the same way that TMobile whitelists speedtest so you can Spoof unlimited internet using that glitch that was around for a while. I would usually crack on with an idea like this on my own however felt like it would help alot of people out too, any ideas?

I cannot hold a phone bare in my hand. I MUST have some sort of grip to hold onto. I found the Essential was like an ice skate. I could not lay the phone on my leg in the the car or on the couch, I could not put the phone on the seat in the car. Everywhere I put it the polished ceramic make the phone run away and gravity took over.

I ordered the following and so far I am pretty happy with all the accessories. I cannot post external links yet, so I have put the Amazon description from the item with will hopefully allow these to be pulled up.

Rear case - TUDIA Carbon Fiber Design Lightweight [TAMM] TPU Bumper Shock Absorption Cover for Essential Phone PH-1 (Black)

Charging accessories - Car Charger + Wall Charger + Type C USB 3.1 For Essential Phone PH-1

Just received the charging accessories today, so I have not used the car or wall charger, but did you the USB cable to connect to my laptop. Phone charges slower with the standard 1/2 Amp USB port which is fine by me. I also have a number of portable USB batteries want to use as well. I feel the slower charging will be much better for the battery life in the long run since the battery is not user serviceable. The lighter charger seems to work fine, the only comment is the coiled cord if very thin and shorter than say one of my official Verizon Micro USB chargers, but it works find in my application for now.

[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] holypuma:
I purchased my XZP about a week ago, and since it arrived, I've had issues receiving calls. I can make calls (it takes about 10-15 seconds to start ringing) but when someone tries to call me, it usually rings once for the caller, I get no rings on my end and then the calls go to voicemail. I am coming from the unlocked LG V20. I simply removed the SIM from that phone and placed it in the XZP. I have the dual-SIM version.

I discovered that I can receive calls when "GSM only" is selected under preferred network type, but that kills LTE. Any help would be appreciated.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] gauthamsv:
I have the G8141 bought from UK and using in the US (Ultra mobile which is an MVNO running on tmobile). I've never had issues similar to what you said. Try a factory reset. Also what ROM version are you in?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] holypuma:
I discovered that the issue is caused by poor service in my area. I have LTE but T-Mobile has used their LTE network to disguise that every other service in this area is garbage. If I drive a few miles away, my service works normally and I can use 3G data while talking on the phone. But at home, I stay on LTE and all my calls are directed to voicemail. I solved it by staying on LTE and using my Google Voice phone number full time and using the Hangouts Dialer app to make and receive calls. Its like I have VoLTE now. hah
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Heinous:
Since the phone doesn't support (or vice versa) T-Mobile's VOLTE, the phone will only do calls on other GSM networks which T-Mobile is apparently phasing out. So data is great and the signal looks good, but then no calls in these areas. It's very frustrating. As mentioned above, calls over data from other apps do work. Hangouts, Digits, etc.

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] jeremymacmull:
Morning all,

I remember reading on the wizard forums somewhere that someone changed the volume keys so that they could be used as a scroll up and scroll down function similiar to the scroll wheel on the hermes for use in PIE etc.

Is this possible on the Touch Dual. if so what would the program be and how much would it cost ?

Jeremy
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] jekk:
It is possible for free.

Hi,

AE Button Plus should be able to do this. There's a time-unlimited trial which should do the job.

Another one may be Spb PocketPlus, which offers less possibilities for button mapping, but maybe (actually I can't remember fur sure) offers exactly out-of-the-box the mapping you are searching for (volume2scroll), whereas in AEB+ you have to make the mappings explicit (VolUp->PgUp etc).

Cheers,

jekk.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus General] jeremymacmull:
I've mapped button 2 and 3 and button 2 hold and button 3 hold to scroll up and scroll down.

The hold buttons work OK but they aren't usable as a scroller as it takes too long to activate but If I map the normal buttons to scroll up and down they still only change volume. If I map them to launch contacts they launch this fine some of the time but not always and other times they just change the volume. So no can do. This by the way is using pocket plus' built in button mapping program.

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] mike....:
So, there are plenty of custom MIUI ROMs for Mido all of which seem fine to me. I've got some questions though:

1) Is any of those ROMs notably better than the rest?

2) Do they really change that much stuff? They look identical to stock MIUI to me.

3) Are there any real changes in terms of stability, performance, battery backup etc.?

4) Is there anything I should know about? Like, serious bugs, great features etc.?

Thanks for your time :D
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Shubho20:
1. Try xiaomi.eu or globe rom.

2. Xiaomi.eu provides some extra features, and globe roms provide some additional mods for ur taste. Globe rom is based on xiaomi.eu

3.Yes battery backup and performance increases since it's debloated as well as many tweaks are done to offer better performance.

4. No serious bugs upto my knowledge.

Ps: They are all based on chinese Miui 9

I just updated my LG G4 h811 to the newest build for lineage OS 10 / 24 and tap to wake is no longer working the way it's supposed to only one in about every 20 attempts it will turn on is there any way to fix this or do I have to wait for a new update?
[T-Mobile LG G4] demoncamber:
Same here, not sure how to fix it.
[T-Mobile LG G4] virgil1381:
I've been looking everywhere and can't find anything to solve it I've even changed to a different ROM CR Droid so I'm not sure what's causing it it may possibly be Hardware but I really doubt it since it was only after an update
[T-Mobile LG G4] raptorddd:
i have it to. try KDZ if its same then its a hardware problem. like mine i tried and same for all roms sometimes it turns on inside pocket. very sensitive . sometimes just place my palm in screen and turns on. now it doesnt turn on lol not even tapping 1000 times.

if you have warranty send it to repair. if that is important get another screen.
[T-Mobile LG G4] virgil1381:
I remember having this problem on my LG G3 and thinking that a new screen would solve it it turned out to be the processor... Hopefully that's not the case here but sometimes when I use the button to turn on the screen it comes on but extremely dim I have to turn it off and turn it back on again so I'm thinking maybe it is a processor on the G4 as well
[T-Mobile LG G4] raptorddd:
well not sure what causes it. but on mine waking it up dont work anymore unless it gets sensitive again... wierd thing is double tap to sleep works everytime. when screen on .. only waking up phone is the problem

Yes same with mine I can tap to sleep and it works every single time no problems but tap to wake does not work very often sometimes it takes up to 20 tries to get it to work

Needed:

- Rooted device

- BusyBox ( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=stericson.busybox&hl=it )

- The SELinux Switch ( https://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=26378 )

- Viper4Android 2.5.0.5 ( https://mega.nz/#!WdFm1TiC!4Zt9GPJ36-iD6VG4J2W4qJh-E1UhKpzQJHUHgQkqCvs )

Follow step by step EXACTLY, and it will perfectly working.

I tried to install Viper4Android without the TWRP recovery.

I did some test, the lastest one was ok, but everytime I rebooted the phone, drivers was not installed.

So, this I figured out how to let Viper4Android and drivers work.

First of all, install BusyBox from the PlayStore. One installed, change the position on /system/xbin (VERY IMPORTANT!) and then click install.

Ones do that, install The SELinux Switch from XDA and click on PERMESSIVE.

After that, install the lastest .apk version of Viper4Android (the 2.5.0.4) from the official site (in the .zip there'll be 2 .apk, you've to install the ones named "FIX"), install drivers, reboot.

That's is.

NOTE: if you have Magisk, download the Magisk Manager from the PlayStore and install Viper4Android FX from the module.

[General Questions and Answers] metalmagpie:
I'm new to XDA and not very expert at Android. I used to use a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 with T-Mobile as the carrier. I recently bought a used AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge, and have succeeded so far in getting it unlocked so it recognizes my SIM card. So my phone is up and running. However, it is still an AT&T phone. I don't know all of the ways it is undesirable to use an AT&T phone on the T-Mobile network. I do know that updating software is problematic. I want to make this phone into a T-Mobile phone, so that when software updates are available it asks me if I want to install them and so on.

Now I'm getting into unfamiliar territory. I believe my CSC is G935AUCU1APB4. (This is called my 'baseband version' in the settings menu.) From 'PB4' I get that this firmware is from February 2016, version 4. My model is G935-A and what's in between tells me something about my country and original Android version, maybe. So when I go looking for a late version of T-Mobile's firmware for my phone, would it still start with G935A, or would it perhaps look like G935T (for T-mobile)? Or perhaps G935U (for unlocked?) Anyway, my first big question is what firmware package should I look for and how do I know that is the right one?

After that, well, I have never manually flashed firmware into a phone. I see references to Odin and SmartSwitch and sammobile. Well, shoot. I figure I can learn any of these packages. Which should I use and why?

That's enough for now, thanks for reading!

[General Questions and Answers] metalmagpie:
OK, I have learned a ton in the last couple of days. Bottom line is the easiest way to update OS on an AT&T Samsung is to take it to Best Buy and ask the person at the Samsung counter to do it. I see no reason to believe that it is possible in software to make an AT&T phone look like a T-Mobile phone. And as far as flashing with Odin? What a totally buggy tool! I was NEVER able to make it get past "analyzing files" or maybe "file analysis". When you get down to switching cords from one USB port to another I figure you might just as well change your socks. Finally, there is a TON of crap advice out on the Web.

For my last few phones I've only every used TPU cases. Of course, these were all far less expensive phones than the one I just bought (a Pixel 2), so I didn't care as much. I never had a cracked screen (knock on wood) or any other issues, though I hardly ever dropped my phones either.

I'm noticing now that there are some pretty slim fitting dual-layered cases out there. Are they really any better? For reference, I'm mostly debating between the Spigen Rugged Armor (despite the name, just a TPU case) and the Spigen Neo Hybrid. I could go with any brand though.

I have tried with my routers wireless encrypted, and unencrypted. And I definitely have put the correct WEP 128 code in to my XDA when it has been encrypted. But my XDA definitely won't connect to any of the wireless connections I pick up in my area, and in particular will not connect to mine. I can see the connections, and I can see the XDA attempting to connect to them, but it never actually achieves connection. Any suggestions?

thanks in anticipation,funny keyboard.
[Networking] underwurlde:
Start off with the available WiFi connection points:

What information do you know of them re: security. When entering the WEP key on your Xda, it will tell you immediately that you've got it wrong or not, so if you've got past that point, at least the Xda is chatting to the WiFi & the keys match...

Sometimes, my Xda sits there saying 'connecting'. (and again, sometimes it then says 'connected'). Seems not to matter.... just move on and assume it is indeed connected. The system will tell you as a pop-up sometime later if things are amiss.

1)Go to Settings -> System.

2)*Go to System -> Phone.

3)*Under Default apps section, you will have a select box to choose the app you want to use to manage recorded phone calls.

4) Select Voice Recorder in that select box.

5) Once done, during voice call, you will have a record button as shown in the image below. Tap that record button to start recording.

6) After the call is over, go to Recorded Calls menu under Phone app to see the list of recorded calls.

7) Tap any of the recorded calls for playback. You can even trim it and share it with others.

Note: This call recording feature is available only for devices that come with Windows 10 Mobile pre-installed. But, Microsoft may enable it for Windows Phone devices in the future.
