O.k. I've exhausted all the resources I have found on the net to troubleshoot my VPN problems myself so can someone please help me figure out why this isn't working.

I have a VPN set up on my home desktop that I can connect to fine with my laptop (both XP home SP2). When i connect with my Verizon XV8600, the connection is stable, no trouble logging on and no timeouts, but I can't access any of the shares on my desktop. I go to file explorer and try to open a path, same as I do when connected at home via wifi, and I get "The network path was not found" and "Network resource cannot be found or you do not have permission to access the network".

I'm connecting via PPTP, I have tried with my network adapter set to "The Internet" and "Work". Under the advanced tab in connections under the "Select Networks" button I have tried both the "My Work Network" and a new network I set up for the private network selection.

It's just diving me nuts because it connects every time and stays connected, but I can't do jack with it. What am I missing people? Any help would be greatly appreciated, this is the last hurdle to having my phone set up the way I want it.
[Networking] lub2lrn:
Firewall?

One area to question would be weather you have a firewall or some type of security agent blocking data access on the VPN port of your laptop. Possible?
[Networking] Rudegar:
many routers also need to be setup to pass vpn
[Networking] animez:
The VPN is set up on my desktop and my laptop connects just fine. The trouble I'm having is getting my phone to connect properly.
[Networking] animez:
I've set up the port forwarding on the router, the phone connects, it even shows up under the network neighborhood on the desktop when it's connected. I just can't seem to access my shared folders.
[Networking] Falcon2008:
Which ports did you forward? And which router/firmware do you have?

It's not enough just to forward port 1723 you need to enable the GRE protocol (type 47) also. Without enabling it (GRE protocol) the computer from outside connects, you see it in your logs, but it actually can do nothing.
[Networking] animez:
The router is a linksys wrt54g v8 with firmware 8.00.5, yes pptp-passthrough is enabled.
[Networking] animez:
I did a bit more research on GRE and my particular router and have come away confused. Some sites say it doesn't work at all on the wrt54g, but according to them it shouldn't even work on my laptop. I can stream music from an external ip on my laptop and browse all my shares so it seems like its working to me.

There must be something different about how the phone uses that protocol that the router is screwing up. Most of the forum posts seem to suggest that GRE on a lot of linksys routers is spotty at best. I'm thinking about flashing the router with a third party linux firmware (dd-wrt) that supposedly handle GRE properly. Not sure though, don't wanna risk bricking my router just to connect my phone, which I'll probably do once in a blue moon.

Hi xda people,

I have a px3 (800x480 W) with an XRC2 MCU, which is the latest for my model, and a custom ROM (although that doesn't really matter for this issue). I have a problem a really weird problem on bluetooth, that happened while on stock ROM and now on the custom ROM as well:

If I'm starting the call, people hear me with a 2-second lag. It is infuriating, as it seems that I'm talking in slow motion. If it is a received call, it doesn't happen.

Anyone with the same problem that can help me? Or anyone with some kind of idea on how to solve it?

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5hane:
Hi all

I have been pointed towards xda following a conversation in another forum regarding my failing Tab S.

Before I registered today, I took a look around the forum and am left feeling a bit like a duck out of water.

I dont really understand much of the jargon being used, and so im not sure if I really belong here . I'm just trying to find a fix for my tablet that doesn't involve the expense of returning it to Samsung.

I bought my Tab S 10.5 back in 2014, and until last year I felt that it performed flawlessly. So last year a friend of mine dropped it onto my kitchen floor resulting in a shattered screen from the top left corner outwards. I did look into getting the screen replaced at the time but it turned out that it was going to cost me £250, which I believe is half the price of what I paid for the whole thing when it was new. So I decided to live with the damage, which isn't too visible when its switched on.

A year later and I have what I think is a more serious issue. While I was on Facebook my tablet decided to turn itself off at 50% battery, and when I turned turning it back on it appeared to be stuck in some kind of boot-loop, constantly switching from a slowly glowing Samsung logo to the smaller constructing logo (I hope that makes sense). I tried various button sequences to get the thing running but none made any difference.

Following a bit of Googling I tried a hard reset and clearing the cache. The process took mere seconds, leading me to believe that the hard reset functionality wasn't working either. And after the reset where it gave me to the option to restart, I was taken back to the boot-loop again.

Part of me wonders if the tablet has reached the end of its life, but another part of me thinks that I should expect more from a 4 year old £500 tablet, although yes it did get dropped that time.

Anyway, I have been directed here by someone who suggested that a custom rom might be the answer, but after taking a look at the Samsung Tab S Development page, I am completely stumped at what rom to choose and how to install it, and just when I thought id go for it, I didn't really understand the following instructions:

Download the latest build (download to what, my laptop?)

Download opengapps.org (I dont know what this is and where to download it to)

Make a nandroid backup (totally lost on this one)

Recommended - Full wipe system/data (first install) (I think I did that, although it took about 2 seconds)

Flash latest Twrp (T800/T805) & Firmware from sammobile.com (T800/T805) (No idea what that means)

Flash ROM (?)

Flash Gapps (?)

Reboot

Enjoy!

Thanks for taking the time to read my post. I'm hoping that there might be an idiots guide to fixing the Tab S :)
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AsItLies:
1) yes, to your laptop or pc or what ever computer you're using.

2) OpenGapps are the google apps that don't come with a generic Rom, such as GMail, the Google Play Store, etc etc. (and again, download it to the computer you are using (so when you flash the Rom, you can flash these google apps also).

3) Making a backup (nandroid is one type, there are others), is imho, optional. If you have pictures, pdf files, anything on the device you don't want to lose, back those up somehow. I never worry about making a nandroid backup personally.

4) If you haven't installed TWRP, then you probably haven't wiped system / data. It's after having installed twrp that you want to do that wipe (within twrp, there are directions in it to do that). You wipe those partitions so you can "start new", with your new Rom.

5) TWRP is a replacement recovery you flash (install) over the old (original) recovery. It allows you to flash roms etc etc etc. BUT, you have to use the specific version of TWRP for your specific device.

I'd suggest doing a lot of reading, search google for various topics related to this subject; like 'how to install twrp on the Samsung Tab S' or 'What version of twrp should I use for Samsung Tab S' or etc etc etc.

Then READ READ READ READ READ READ!! until you feel comfortable with what you are doing! It's those that do things they don't have any idea what it will do that end up buying a new device when they didn't have to.

Cheers

Warning coming up. ;)

---------- Post added at 08:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:22 AM ----------

If you are having issues with your device then flashing custom firmware is not the answer.

If indeed it is software related then the best you can do is simply factory reset the device.

If that doesn't solve reinstall the stock firmware via Odin.

Don't put yourself under extra pressure by introducing unknown issues from flashing custom stuff.

Go to updato.com search your device, download the respective firmware for your device and flash it with Odin.

Google has countless guides how to flash with Odin .

If that doesn't fix it then it's likely hardware. The first thing you should look at for random shutdowns is replacing the battery.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5hane:
Thanks. Luckily I haven't tried a custom rom yet.

No the factory reset didn't work, in fact it doesn't appear to work at all. The android guy is lying on his back with some warning text below it that vanishes to soon to be read.

I daren't try replacing the battery, as the last time I tied removing the front of a tablet (a mates) the screen shattered. Plus my screen is already badly cracked and likely to get worse if I attempt to remove it.

So ill look into the Odin option. Thanks!

I don't use wireguard but it looks like you can start/stop it using scripts. So you just need a profile context(s) that determine when your connected to WiFi but it's not a known one then the entry task fires the wireguard connect script and the exit task fires a wireguard disconnect script.

Hello all,

I have a stupid question for you all.

I have updated yesterday to Android Pie - and all is good.

Today I wanted to root.

I checked USB debugging is enabled, then booted in fastboot.

When I do fastboot devices on my PC, the phone does not show.

This worked 100% before (I have rooted this and previous phones many times)

What is going wrong here?

Thank you for any suggestions

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] fBx:
Hello there,

it seems that on the S9+ (and maybe S9, tho users over there report everything is fine) all the VPN-based ad blockers like DNS66, Blokada and the likes do not work correctly. When switching between wifi and mobile, the connection randomly dies, not letting anything through anymore until you restart the phone, or disable the blocker. It is documented in a github issue for DNS66 here. This is annoying, as I found this solution the most user-friendly. I know there is Adhell 3, but a) it's annoying to resign and reinstall every 3 months and apply for new keys and b) it doesn't block everything, not even if I manually feed it with all the hosts files that DNS66 uses. It blocks ads alright, but misses quite some.

Is there any known fix for this, or any other adblock suggestion besides that? I know that rooting and adaway would be best, but I won't root anymore since Samsung here in Europe straight off denies any warranty requests for rooted devices, even if it's got nothing to do with the root itself.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] scottusa2008:
Adguard would a suggestion, but it does use a VPN blocking service for system wide blocking. It's not free and is subscription based. At one time I used adguard over dns66 as adguard worked and dns66 did not (VPN issues with dns66).

For non rooted users there is really no other options. Unless you want to setup a pihole server, somehow get your dns setting on your phone to point to the pihole server and go that route. In the case of dns changes on non-rooted devices it's either a VPN based change or knox. So your options are limited to one or the other. Of course this becomes moot if your plan on only blocking ads when you use a wifi connection.

I've done the pihole route before too, it works but doesn't catch everything. Some ads originate from the same domain as where your visiting, in which case dns adblocking won't work. For those scenarios cosmetic filtering would.

Otherwise I use adhell3 and adblock plus plugin on samsung browser. For practical intents and purposes I steered clear of VPN based setups for a reason. Also I don't mind recompilimg adhell3 once in a while, he's really put a lot of work into making it as simple as possible. I've got my android studio setup so that I just pull the latest changes, build the apk and install.

If adhell3 isn't your cup of tea then the only app I know is Disconnect Pro which costs $24.99 in the galaxy app store. Disconnect Pro functions the same way as Adhell3 does.. as a front end configuration for knox. I've read somewhere that Adhell3 has more features then Disconnect Pro, but I didn't look to much into that to find out what one has over the other.

If I were to suggest something I would suggest adhell3 combined with adblock plus plugin for your browser. combined those work the best for me... some ads might slip through, but dns based ad blocking is not the same as cosmetic ad blocking. Adguard should still do cosmetic filtering, but it's been a while since I used that app.

Hi friends,

I am a bit unsure. At the moment I'm on OOS Open Beta 3. Now that the official Pie based OOS was released, I am wondering if I stay on Open Beta or change to official OOS.

What are you doing? Tell me. What are the cons and the pros?

Thank you!

btw.: If somewhere there's already a poll for this, then please tell me. ;)
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Hitman478™:
Open Beta = faster updates, less stable (at least this last declared from oneplus but i've noticed no difference)

Official = slower updates, more stable (but as i said up it's the same)

For updates i mean you get first the latest features that oneplus give us
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] xxBrun0xx:
I'm pretty happy with open beta 3, so I'm sticking to the beta channel. I'm sure there will be a new beta soon, probably won't be a new stable build for a while.

Official here. That way I know magisk modules, kernels and mods will work.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] RealZac:
That's why I think I will stay on beta channel, too.

If you release program then there should be no updates, goes to your logic then
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] oksagi:
Incorrect statement!

The change log for official build is taken from Open Beta 2 change log.

Means that the open Beta 3 was released after the official build was certified.

That means that Open Beta will be parallel channel with Official builds.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 7671171:
No, there will still be open beta builds that introduce new features etc.

Well, this is my 1st OnePlus device and i m super happy to be on Beta channel, i was little upset when i saw the stable release came so quick after 3 weeks of beta started. But when i saw the stable release has less feature than the OB3 I decided to stay on Beta channel.

But, yeah I m little comfused, whats new we will be getting on the beta channel after the stable pie has released?

And i want to know 1 thing, will our device always be uncertified till we are on Beta channel?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] alimuhammadx:
No this is start of pie beta so some bugs & this type of things expected OnePlus make it certified in upcoming beta the stable build come so early cause people want it so bad everyday on OnePlus forums new thread open for pie till now first it was for OnePlus 6 now it for 5/5t 3/3t.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] gitzz:
Ok, thanks for the info.

I want to know 1 more thing

Will there be no way to shift to stable without loosing data.

Like I stay on OB3 and there is stable beta 3 months later on, still the Stable package considered as downgrade?

[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] alimuhammadx:
No for now because stable build is build on beta 1 & we are running on beta 3 so data loss is must if in future stable come a version up then you can go to stable without loss.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] whizeguy:
If you have twrp you can flash without loss of data.. I did. I just dirty flashed it.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] alimuhammadx:
I don't recommend dirty flash because sometimes it starts creating issue on your device.your device working fine so good luck i face issues with my older devices so i don't recommend anyone dirty flash because if you get issues factory reset is the last option for you.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Glsoto:
Sorry TWRP..
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] whizeguy:
We will see if the errors occur. But when you say you can't flash without loosing data it's just wrong :)

I dirty flashed from
