[Lenovo Zuk Edge Questions & Answers] lykos_:
Hi everybody,

I just received my Zuk Edge and want to dual boot Zui 3.0 beside Mokee installed on it, to have access to U-health and stuff.

So, does anybody here know whether the DualBootPatcher works for Zuk Edge or not? It is not listed among the supported devices on this list, but somebody described in this post on Chinese Lenovo Club forum (had to Google Translate it, so I may have misunderstood some bits) how to make it work. Seems that all you have to do is edit build.prop and change product name and device to "benefit3" (ro.product.name = benefit3 ro.product.device = benefit3).

Any experience here with dual booting?
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VeEuzUKY:
Is the Snapdragon 810 platform is 64bit and can 64bit apps and system apps be installed on the Z4?

I recently bought a Z4 Tablet LTE (loving it) and am on the process of unlocking the bootloader and getting a recovery and LineageOS flashed. Later, when installing 3rd party apps, SU and system apps such as GApps, should they be arm or arm64? My confusion arrives not just if its possible or not to install 64bit apps but also what are the benefit as far as compatibility, performance and (most importantly) stability are concerned.

Since the Z4 has only 3GB RAM and 64bit only come into play on environments with more than 4GB, I dont quite understand the advantages (if any) of having anything more than just traditional 32bit arm app versions .

Thanks a lot for the info:)
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dape16:
Yes, it's 64-bit.
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VeEuzUKY:
Thanks for the info. Should I only install arm64 versions of apps when available or its fine to also install standard 32bit arm apps?

Thanks again:)
[Xperia Z4 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dape16:
You can only install 64-bit gapps, you will get an error message if you try to install gapps for 32-bit.

Hello everyone, this is for customers on the ULD plan with 15GB of hotspot. I tried a lot of different methods and I would like to share a method that is working for the Pixel 2 xl on Android 8.0.0! I want to give credit to [MENTION=6404805]hydrofarmer[/MENTION] for posting the method in a different forum. This method is a little different as I could not get FoxFi Wi-Fi hotspot to work on my phone, possibly due to Oreo.

Requirements:

1. Root Phone

2. Edit build.prop; place net.tethering.noprovisioning=true at the bottom

3. Install VPN Tether from play store.

Bypass Method:

1. Start VPN. (I use IPVanish)

2. Start Wi-Fi hotspot

3. Open VPN Tether (Grant root access and start)

4. Connect device to Phone

You will not get throttled using WiFi hotspot anymore. I hope this is useful to others. It helped me out so much, my Wi-Fi hotspot was useless at the speeds Verizon throttled me to. Again thank you [MENTION=6404805]hydrofarmer[/MENTION]!

Just what I was looking for! Thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sensui123:
Does this method really work? Trying it but seems like usage is still tallied up on hotspot use when reviewing account...or you can still use unthrottled speed somehow even after 15gig using this method?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bigblueshock:
This method technically works. It bypasses Verizon seeing your phone using data as a hotspot, so you are in term using part of your 22GB then de-prioritization instead
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] agtsoul:
Yes it works. I used 48GBs last month.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] agtsoul:
I haven't experienced any slow downs at 22GB or beyond. That could be because of the area I live in though.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sensui123:
Could you check to see from your Verizon account to see if the counter for hotspot use is going up? Because I'm using this exact method (double/triple checked everything in build.prop, confirmed the devices tethering are sharing the VPN tunnel by running a location trace etc) and I see the hotspot usage still go up accordingly....or does this method somehow bypass the actual throttling even if the hotspot use is over 15 gig?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] hydrofarmer:
The hotspot data shouldn't be going up. Just your regular data counter.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sensui123:
That's exactly what I thought should happen....but it's not actually working. I'm not exactly sure why.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] agtsoul:
I was already at the 15 GB when I started looking for a method. I haven't used it since rest this month. I am at work right now. I will check the counter when I get home tonight to see if it goes up.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] hydrofarmer:
I don't even think you need to edit the prop. I think it should just work with a VPN and th VPN tether app. That's all I use on a note 4.

To be clear on this from my first post about all of this*** at first I did some extra steps as listed above. But after factory resetting my phone and starting from scratch it worked with the native hotspot app. Then I just turned on my VPN and then activated VPN tether and it works for me.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] agtsoul:
Sorry took so long to get back to you. All data is being registered as regular data. Tested it and it shows I have used 0 hotspot data. I downloaded like 4GB and it all registered as regular phone usage.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rester555:
Which VPN tether app did you use from the Play Store? There are a lot of them.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sensui123:
The one called VPN tether....works just start/stop icon a bit counter intuitive.

I'm still testing but something weird is happening...seems like this technique works with a computer but hit and miss connecting other Android devices. Will report back after more testing.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rester555:
I just noticed that the new Verizon Data Usage page does not show the mobile hotspot data usage for the current month.... Anyone else can confirm? https://imgur.com/a/4ujKm
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] hydrofarmer:
Yes it does. Just have to go into the details. It's updated fairly quickly and I have had no troubles whatsoever with other devices such as other phones, tablets, security cameras, Xbox etc.

[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] hydrofarmer:
*It will not show a number for tether data unless some data has been used used* otherwise it will just be total data per line which means you are doing something right for bypass lol

Has anyone tried this method and been successful on Oreo 8.1? I flashed the factory image of 8.1 and setup my phone the way i had it working before. I tried to wifi tether, but when i try to go to a website other than google i get a DNS error. I don't get that error with VPN tether app off. Any thoughts?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] agtsoul:
Found a fix for the issue I was running into. In settings/System/Developer options make sure Tethering hardware accelerations is turned off. For VPN settings I use port 443 and OpenVPN (UDP). Data does not count towards hotspot anymore. Everything is now working great!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] rester555:
Interesting. I did a lot of tethering with the hardware acceleration turned on without issue.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] morrowa2:
I'm having the exact same problem. Unlocked Pixel 2 XL, Verizon SIM, rooted with Magisk and no other major modifications. Using NordVPN, and TetherNet VPN. I've tried with several VPN sharing apps, and no luck. Prior to the 8.1 update, it was working fine.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] agtsoul:
Try turning off tethering hardware acceleration under developer options in settings.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] morrowa2:
Wow! that seems to have done the trick. Such a simple solution to a frustrating problem. Thanks!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] agtsoul:
No problem, yes that worked for me after many hours of frustration trying different settings and things. I even wiped my device and started fresh with the factory image. Was about to give up when I tried that and it worked.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] humdrum2009:
Nothing worked for me now through my hotspot at my shop today.

Comcast went down followed instructions to the letter
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] klebane:
trouble with bypass....Pixel phone and oreo 8.1

I have a unlocked, Majisk rooted Pixel phone just upgraded to oreo 8.1. Hardware tethering acceleration is turned off in developer options. I am using Nord VPN and VPN tether. To attempt to bypass throttling I first start VPN (hitting the connect button), then starting the phones wifi hotspot, then I open VPN tether (and see message asking/granting for superuser priveleges and that phone is connected, then I connect to computer. The key image is in my icon tray the whole time I am using the hotspot

I am checking my usage and I see that both my usage and my hotspot usage are both climbing suggesting that the bypass method is not working.

Anyone have any ideas? Do I need to edit the build as suggested in the OP? Is there certain parameters that need to be established when connecting to the vpn?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] xghostyxjokerx:
Are there vid tutorial? Don't know how to edit this build prop ... sorry..
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Shaffer678:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.apps.build.prop.editor

I used this app. Was really simple takes you right into the build prop to add the line.

Thanks! Worked well!
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] hydrofarmer:
No probs!! Just one thing to keep in the back of your minds is that while you won't get throttled we are all still subject to prioritization....

Is there any way to bypass the hotspot limit without VPN?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] agtsoul:
I haven't found one.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sensui123:
After a lot of testing.....I can confirm this works. I believe the vpn vendor apps I was using wasn't routing traffic properly. Set things up manually via openvpn app and followed steps with vpn tether/editing build prop. Everything is all good. Thanks for sharing this.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] anewday:
Does this method work n other phones too?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] nebula9:
For the record, for me over the past summer I experienced no throttling even after way more than 15GB and I was at the time only using the official methods. So YMMV generally it seems.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] anewday:
What official methods?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] nebula9:
Official tethering
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] agtsoul:
Has anyone on the January update tried this method? If so is it working for you? I know it shouldn't matter, but I just wanted to check before I updated.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sensui123:

Is this only for the Pixel 2 and the S8? Will it work on older phones, S7, S5, etc? What are the requirements?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] morrowa2:
I had it working on S7, but it slowed the phone down quite a bit and made any app that uses location either extremely slow or completely non-functional.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] srtdodge05:
I want to do this on my S8 but my phone doesn't have a root option.

According to TMobile app it knows when I have hotspot on but the data never goes up. Stays the same the whole time I'm using native hotspot.

My issue appears to be when I tether an android tablet to my phone. I had heard there was special provisioning between Android devices. Is it possible that this tethering is what's showing up on Verizon?

Wifi Tether without throttle

i have had a Nexus 6 for years now and I've always found a way to get unlimited high speed wifi hotspot. Im sure Rooting is a necessity as i've always had root. i've used Metro pcs, VZW, and T- Mobile all with success and without much trouble. Currently Im on Verizon with an Unlimited Data Plan, and I must say the new plans for VZW are the best for people who use Wifi Hotspot daily. I live in the country so Broadband internet is not an option period. Satelite is it and the price for their internet is limited and very expensive. Although Verizon says you only get 15 gb of LTE hotspot I use it to stream my Roku streaming device and even after 15gb theres virtually no difference in data speed, I am also averaging over 100gb a month.

a few weeks ago i got a new desktop and i downloaded PDA Net which i used years ago, they have a new feature called Wifi-Direct Hotspot, also they feature Wifi Hotspot via the PC. This is a nice feature that turns your PC into a wifi hotspot, so technically using this feature will allow any phone to create a hotspot as long as its connected to a computer . Pda Net sets up a basic USB Tether Connection, so your phones native wifi hotspot is turned off therefore your Carrier will not slow your data speed as most do when using just the Wifi Hotspot.

this has to be the best restriction bypass for USing your phone as a wireless hotspot and it works very well and stable. not sure how PDA Net continues to get away with it but its an awesome fix when internet is not available, and saves money on a cable and internet bill.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] azndan2:
Sensui, using private internet access VPN, I'm able to bypass throttling on my windows pc but not on an android tablet connected to my Hotspot.

Did you ever figure out how to get past the throttling on Android devices connected to the Hotspot?

Same problem. Thanks. :crying:
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] sensui123:
It seems to be a hit and miss. But in general it works well enough. I use different VPN services (popular ones like HMA/Nord/Express etc) but I'm using OPENVPN app to set them up and going through that instead to make sure all traffic flows through the VPN. This seems to work in general but sometimes I do notice some usage slips through to the hotspot count......hard to tell if it's other android devices etc or not.....since mostly I'm tethering using an amazon fire stick in the car for kids/windows based machines travelling for work/kids' tablets (android).

I'm not sure what you are asking?

there is no widget that i am aware of for hotspot data

I go into Verizon - look at data/details and it shows how much hotspot data is being used as of what time.

Buy home internet and stop making my bill so damn high. Verizon has to buy more bandwidth and this makes everyones cost go up.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] thereal_bigjake:
Some people like me live in areas where VZW is the only option. I have a Jetpack but they only give me 15gb of high speed a month and that lasts about 36 hours, lol. After the 15gb is up it takes a few minutes to load this xda post, pretty ridiculous. If VZW would do the same deal on the jetpack as the phone we wouldn't have to try and cheat the system. It's costs me $200 a month for the jetpack plus 2 phone lines. Think I deserve a little more than 15gb of high-speed for that price ?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] d33dvb:
Uh, you know you can get a sim made for a tablet for your jetpack and not have that limitation right?

And by the way, for my 4 phones and 16GB im paying $270 per month, so no sympathy here. A better option would be to get a straight talk phone sim, activate it in a phone, and then stick it in your jetpack, be sure to use the verizon sim.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] thereal_bigjake:
How do I get them to give me a tablet sim without having a tablet that takes a sim? I had no idea I could even do that so thanks for the tip and I'm definitely not looking for anybody's sympathy, lol. If I could get real wifi here I'd be using straight talk with the vzw sim myself, that's what I set my brother up with since he lives in town and has Xfinity wifi.

Oh and couldn't you use 4 straight talk lines and save yourself $70 a month since you have home wifi?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] cedargreen:
Not true. My use does not cost Verizon a single cent more than anyone else. Any notion otherwise is corporate manipulation for a money grab, not by you (hopefully ?).

And I've been paying for it for over 14 years.

I don't live in a huge city. Our metro area is only 400,000 or so and the towers that I use probably only service on avg 50k.

Verizon already owns the c spectrum and they rent it out too. They are now moving on to faster bandwidth, not c spectrum. Also, part of the deal when they bought the c spectrum is they can throttle, which they do as well as others. Verizon has experienced market explosion with the increase in Netflix, YouTube, smart phones. They should be the last ones crying.

The thing that gets me is I've been paying the same price for 14 years. The monthly bill used to include my subsidized Palm Tree, so yeah long time.

That phone was paid off during that 2 year contract. I haven't bought a phone from Verizon since. I've paid full price on swappa or eBay or Google. Yet my bill has never gone down.

They just pocket that money? No, it's been reappropriated to some other feature or function in my bill I'm sure. Same as Comcast b.s. fees. Charge for words in a bill, not actual tangible features or service.

I've been paying $200/MTH for two phones for 14 years. So no sympathy for the $270 you pay for four or the idea you have that using bandwidth is same as using gasoline.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] d33dvb:
So I understand your point. But listen, if you and I are the ISP, and we lay enough fiber for 1000 customers at 10mbit, what happens when we got 10,000 customers? We need more bandwidth for our customers or they will complain and leave us. So what should we do? Let's buy some more fiber of course! Well, we need to buy that fiber, we will go ahead and adjust everyones bill by $10 to fund our expedition and the customers will benefit from the newer speeds! Ok, now we got 20k subscribers, we need more bandwidth, but we knew this was coming so we layed aside some cash to build it out this time. We didn't need to raise prices this time, but we still had to lay all that cable and pay that expense. At 30k subscribers instead of raising prices we will go public on the stock market and ask people to invest in us. We will take their money and use that to buy the new network.But these people want a return on the money they invested, or they will take it away and we will go bankrupt. This is what happens. I used to own a dialup ISP in the 90s and this is exactly what happens. If there has been no price increase, but we are getting more data, it only came from one place, money. I'm not one to stick up for a big corporation bit to really justify excess with an argument that they own the network and costs them nothing is false. When more users are using more bandwidth it's not the towers that take the hit, it's the backbones and if they aren't owned, they are leased, this costs money as well as the cost of new infrastructure if they physically lay the cable.

Is this method only for the Pixle XL... My pixle xl is unrooted. Last time I checked there still wasn't root for a Verizon pixle xl. However I have a Nexus 6. I only use it on WiFi now but that is easily changed.. I prefer my Nexus anyways. It's still a perfectly viable phone. All it lacks is a fingerprint scanner. I have been nothing but disappointed with my pixle xl and can't wait to trash it. I will never buy a phone that isnt rootable out of the box again
