Short Answer: Windscribe or Proton VPN.

Windscribe is offered for free with up to 15GB/Month of bandwidth for free and it is faster than proton VPN, This is what you get with PRO:

Proton VPN is offered for free with UNLIMITED bandwidth but slower speeds than Windscribe, This is what you get with PRO:

Conclusion:

I don't like to pay for a VPN so I just use windscribe until my bandwidth is done and then I switch to Proton VPN until the end of the month and once my bandwidth is reset in windscribe I repeat the same process. If you want to pay for a VPN then I would recommend windscribe since you get more for cheaper :)

i can recommend to everyone never use free VPN.

Also my recommendation is rent own VPS server and build your OWN VPN there, you will pay almost same money for low-resources VPS server , but will be feel much more secure.

Also there is another thing calling shadowsocks, its same logic with VPN, but a bit easier to build and it may use it in needed apps only as proxy.

Greetings, I appreciate your valuable help.

I have a Motorola moto g5 plus, XT1681 channel software retla, Android 8.1.0, security patch October 1, 2018.

The problem is the following a few months ago I received an OTA update of a security patch and installed it left me with no mobile signal :(, I thought that changing the rom could be fixed but nothing, watching tutorial videos I made flash to the cell phone with 5 rom different but nothing, ticking the * # * # 4636 # * # * tells me "Voice service: radio off". And when searching for networks, it tells me an error when searching for networks. I could not find the problem if someone would help me, I would really appreciate it.

Thank you ...

When I first updated to Oreo before going for a custom ROM I had the same problem for a week or so, after many attempts factory resetting and doing a bunch of stuff I took the Sim card slot out and into my brother's phone to check if it was that and it worked fine, but when I got it back in my device it just started working as usual. Try it if you are able to.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] Neider Mercado:
Thank you, if the attempts to enter and remove the SIM card were too many as well as the restored factory values, as I read it is because the EFS folder may be lost or the files may be damaged.

[Nokia 8 Sirocco Questions & Answers] marccoppers:
Hi all,

I had my screen replaced after it cracked when pushing the on/off button. My guess there was something stuck between the button and the screen. Since the screen can't handle any pressure from the side it made a nice clean crack right across the screen.

I had it replaced at the local phone repairshop for €219,-. Luckily my home insurance covered it. The store owner insured my the screen was original as the 8 Sirocco is so rare that there aren't any non-original screens around. I kinda want to believe him, but i'm not sure...

Anyways, my double tap to wake function isn't working any more after the repair. I used several sensor apps to see if one wasn't working properly anymore, but as far as i can see they are all in working order. I hoped that a factory reset would fix it, maybe a re-calibration of some sort, but it didn't...

Does anybody know how double tap to wake works? Is it embedded in the screen, is it via software? Maybe they installed a non-original screen that doesn't support this function? If i know how this function works then maybe i can track down the problem...

Any help would be great!
[Nokia 8 Sirocco Questions & Answers] Audioboxer:
Is the always on display working?

Double tap to wake can work differently between handsets. The digitizer is kept on in a low power mode on devices that properly support DT2W, whereas most phones can implement a software version of it where the digitizer pretty much stays fully powered on, at all times. That drains battery, hardware support pretty much doesn't.

The Sirocco has proper hardware support, so I think it has to be digitizer DT2W support. Unfortunately that means possibly a dodgy screen. Did it work with the broken screen?

You can buy Sirocco replacement screens from China/Asia on Ebay for around £130. There may well be unbranded goods circling. I have a feeling you might need to return to the store and point out DT2W isn't working and it's likely digitizer related.

You are on Pie, correct?
[Nokia 8 Sirocco Questions & Answers] marccoppers:
Yes, i'm on Pie. I think they screwed me over with a dodgy screen indeed. A little search on google revealed you can buy them for €20,-.

It did work with the broken screen, so it has to be a dodgy digitizer. Thinking about calling the shop and see what their response is.
[Nokia 8 Sirocco Questions & Answers] marccoppers:
So, i just called them and they basically told me to go !@%# myself... Warranty was only for the screen itself, and with that they mean cracks in the screen. Great service! Kinda bummed out, but it's only tap 2 wake, right? Installed WaveUp, which basically does the same, you just have to wave in front of the proximity switch. Will test if it drains the battery if not, that's kinda good for me...
[Nokia 8 Sirocco Questions & Answers] marccoppers:
Unfortunately Android kills the service, even when persistent notification is on. Ah well, will search for someting else...
[Nokia 8 Sirocco Questions & Answers] Audioboxer:
The digitizer is part of the screen, it's not possible to replace the screen without replacing it.

They've put in a faulty screen. I'd contact your insurance provider and tell them the repair shop they've paid hasn't fixed the phone correctly.

edit: I might actually be wrong with the Sirocco. The LCD and Glass seem to be bonded, but the digitizer can be replaced separately. Either way, the phone hasn't actually been repaired fully, so I'd still contact your insurer.
[Nokia 8 Sirocco Questions & Answers] marccoppers:
Thnx for the info, i now know how the double tap to wake works. Unfortunately the insurance company don't care about that. They payed me the standard sum, didn't even want the bill. I have to proof the phone didn't fall and they pay me €250,- and that's it.
[Nokia 8 Sirocco Questions & Answers] Audioboxer:
Have you gone back to them to advise the repair shop didn't fix the phone properly and what advice they can give?

Not sure what legal suggestions I can make for your country, in the UK I guess you would next look to trading standards/small claims court.

250 euros is more than enough for the repair shop to fix the phone and digitizer.
[Nokia 8 Sirocco Questions & Answers] marccoppers:
It would probably be a long story if i would go to court or something. I actually don't mind. Got enough other troubles in my life! :silly:
[Nokia 8 Sirocco Questions & Answers] Rafalex House:
I can confirm I have the same issue on a Nokia 8 (not Sirocco) after screen replacement. I had the issue with the left half of the screen staying static all the time. The whole repair was a nightmare as the people who I bought the phone turned out to be cheap af. Whatever... I like the brand and the products but next will buy my phone from a reputable (comparebly big) store. Have a nice day!

[Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 Questions & Answers] aryo_adhi:
After the latest update, everything worked well until I noticed that I can't force phone to use certain network via testing menu (it can, however, from the setting itself).

Usually, by typing *#*#4636#*#* on dial pad, the system brought up the testing menu which allows me to see phone information, mobile and Wi-Fi usage information. By tapping phone information, the phone shows up the information of SIM1 (and even SIM2, depends on phone's system/ROM), along with the IMEI and other nerdy stuffs.

There is a dropdown selection called "Preferred network" (or something similar), which basically 'forces' the phone to use only the network selected (you can force phone to use LTE even on bad signal, which usually auto-switches to HSPA).

However, hours after the update, the dropdown menu seems useless and can't change the preferred network. Tried soft restart and hard restart and it still doesn't work.

What should I do, then? This doesn't really bugs me but it annoys me whenever I want to use only LTE network since it eventually switches to HSPA on bad signal.
