Blokada 'works' - showing green, but it doesn't really block me from ads.

With Dns66 I can define several host sources, with Blokada only one DNS server can be enabled - so which one should I use to get me free of ads and analytics?

Tried AdGiard and AdGuard Family - I see the ads

I want with Blokada (if possible) something to be of the same/similar level of protection like when using Blu or Basic EnergizedPtitection hosts sources with Dns66 (or with AdAway - currently cannot use AdAway since I didn't root my Xiaomi yet):

[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] zgfg:
I tried Blokada Slim (as available on Playstore), but it's not the real ad blocker

Edit: Checking now Blokada Open source edition
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] giodeluigi:
Never seen ads with Adguard.

It works like a charm.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] zgfg:
As you cited above, I was talking about using AdGuard DNS server in Blokada Slim (not about using AdGuard apk) - and that didn't block ads

And with Blokada Open Source edition, nothing better than with DNs66 - although I enabled Autostart, I must still manually start Blokada on each reboot and leave it working in the background to get it blocking ads

Seems the real problem is in Xiaomi/MIUI (on Huawei, also Android 9, Dns66 can automatically start its invisible service on reboot, restart after every Airplane, without the need to manually start the app)
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] giodeluigi:
You can also use private Adguard DNS without the need of any third part adblocking app.
[Redmi K20 / Xiaomi Mi 9T Questions & Answers] zgfg:
Of course

But anyway, thanks for all the tips, unfortunately none of them provides complete solution for what I was asking for.

I will install the good old AdAway.

I would already root, but it takes a week first to unlock Bootloader

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Poppawu696:
I am currently downgrading from Beta 7 to Pie 9 BSIV as we speak on my Sprint S10 using ODIN 3.13.1. Did you download the software using Frija? I am also on a Sprint phone flashing Sprint firmware, is the phone you have originally from T Mobile? If you didn't download the firmware using Frija I would re download it using that and try it.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] C-4Nati:
No I found the firmware on here. Everytime I put the corresponding fields in Odin, it always fails, and I don't understand why.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] tyrone1:
Download most recent firmware using frija. I bet the one you trying to flash is older than what the phone is currently on. You can't flash older firmware no matter what even if using patched Odin.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Mohamedkam000:
abl.efl is bootloader, it is normal to fail at bootloader, cause that bootloader is older than the actually one you do have.

You either have to remove bootloader from firmware (if you can), or flash another firmware with the same - or higher bootloader.

Why don't you use stock Odin?

Hi Guys,

Please help me. I've been trying to transfer the contacts in the pocket pc (HTC diamond) to desktop computer but no luck. I've tried by synchronizing with active sync. It did synchronize but i am not able to retrieve the contacts from the pocket pc. Any solution please?

I don't understand. If you use ActiveSync to synchronise your PIM data with Outlook, your contacts should be there. Unless you deselected that option in ActiveSync.

I believe I seen this question in another thread before, 7pro and 7Tpro cases will fit each other but I think, if I remember correctly, that if you put a 7pro case on the 7Tpro it covers a sensor. Could be wrong though. Maybe someone else can chime in with some insight.

[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] cosminmocan:
Hello everyone.

I have a question/sanity check .

I have my OP7t for about 1 month and it has been rock solid , best phone i had till now ,with a stellar battery life.

However, VOLTE/VOWIFI is not currently working, something with I thought it could be easily solved by enabling the switches for the function using the OnePlusLogkitapp

When that did not work(the switches where shown, but turning them on or of was not doing anything ) i put the switches back as they where (volte enabled and vowifi disabled) went back in the OnePlusLogkitapp and disable the switches from being visible.

Ever since I did this my phone seems to be having a shorter battery life .

I have not flashed anything on it or made any other action that would explain this behaviour.

Also , there was no other thing enabled or disable(or touched) in the onepluslogkit app.

Any oppinion is greatly appreciated

I installed Pixel Experience on Xiaomi Mi 8 - installed TWRP 3.2.3, installed Pixel Experience 10, set it up - I liked it. I tried to enter TWRP - it did not work. I decided to reinstall TWRP, but it does not even load, only the screensaver hangs. I reboot into Pixel Experience but the screen does not respond to screen touches. I requested PitchBlack RECOVERY, booted - but the screen still does not respond. When you start Pixel Experience, the Mi screensaver lasts about a minute. What should I do?

I managed to solve the problem myself. with touchscreen.

- re-installed TWRP (the touchscreen still did not work),

- recorded on the phone and installed miui_MI8Global_V11 zip

Then, according to the new TWRP (the touchscreen works), RE 10 - everything works. :D

If you ever have this issue again. try flashing just the boot image, that you extract from the rom and then reflash magisk. Then TWRP should work again and you should not have any additional issues
[Google Pixel 4 XL Accessories] dallasmanic:
got it from amazon for 19 dollars,

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B081RB9XL6

This is a great case and has a snug fit for the phone which allows for complete functionality of the phone (i.e. squeeze to use Google Assistant).

The Pixel 4 XL fits this case like a glove. This case is rugged and looks great, the buttons work well, Seems very durable. The kickstand is solid with both horizon and landscape mode.

I am so glad to find out it works with many different brand glass screen protector, now it is a real Titan.

There's a small 'plug' in the USB-C port at the bottom, which so far folds over easily to charge the phone.

Wireless charging also works well with the Seneo Wireless Charger that I bought from Amazon.

It is better than Supcase!

I'm well pleased with this case.They are just as good as Otterbox for less than half the price.

Hi helpful forumers,

I have two questions that some Diamonders might ask.

Knowing that the battery life span is short, many will find ways to cut down on battery consumption to extend the day.

Forgive me if I am wrong, I've read some where that disabling 3G is a way and to terminate process that are useless in the task manager.

My question is, how do I disable 3G? :confused: I've used Advanced Config to select disable connection of GPRS/3G. But somehow, the 3G icon still pops out.

There are a few process in the task manager that consumes huge amount of memory. Which are the ones that can be terminated? :confused:

My memory is always at a range of 54% to 69% on when I did nothing. Is it normal? :confused:

Help appreciated. :)

Two days ago i flashed Havic 3.0 on my device and alot of people are talking about Pixel Experience OS (not support for new updates) and i found PiXeN-OS that is supported for new updates. What OS is better PiXeN-OS or Havoc 3.0? Is it worth it to switch to PiXeN from Havoc?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Be4st187:
I love Havoc, but only 2.9. I find 3.0 lacking in the features department so I went back to 2.9. Plus, 3.0 isn't true Android 10 as it uses 9.0.9 as a base which causes issues with custom kernels. Can't use Pie kernels as version mismatches and if you use any of the Q/10 kernels, you bootloop. I have tried PiXeN, but find the customisation side of it a bit empty. Nice stable ROM though with a nice set of features. If you are dead set on Android 10, I would suggest you go Siberia (it's like Havoc 3.0, but you can use RadioActive Kernel) or OmniRom for customisation and features.

If you don't mind Pie, then use Havoc 2.9. I was getting epic battery life with Havoc 2.9 and blu_spark kernel tweaked with amplify/powernap and Havoc's custom aggressive doze profile. Not found anything remotely close to it in terms of battery life. According to AccuBattery, a full charge can net me 200+ hours standby charge and 12 hours SoT with dark themes doing generic Browsing, Facebooking, Redditing and XDA app. It did say 280 hours briefly, but I am calling BS lol
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] marios096:
From Havoc 2.9 / PiXeN / Siberia / OmniRom for you which one is more stable and has better battery life.

I don't really customize my rom too much because i like the stock experience.

The performance is not the priority for me because SD845 is already too fast for the application that i use.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Be4st187:
I was thinking about it last night and the only reason I am getting better battery life in Havoc 2.9 over any of the others you listed is because I can't seem to get Amplify to load properly on Android 10. If you don't drive into power saving apps like Amplify, ForceDoze, Power nap, Greenify and the custom settings like optimised doze values etc, the most recent Havoc would suit you better. It's currently got the most features and is the best for battery life when stock I found. Though a video I just watched said tests revealed Evolution X as the better Android 10 ROM for battery currently, but I can't vouch as I haven't tried it yet. May give it a go later as I am having keyboard and OnePlus gesture issues with the pie version of Siberia that I am testing.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] marios096:
Last night i flashed the PiXeN-OS from Havoc 3.0 5-12-2019 because i had some issues with gesture navigation bar. I will try Siberia too in 2-3 days. With the most recent Havoc did you mean the last night update 14-12? With those power saving apps you dont have problem with notifications or refresh for some apps especially the social apps?
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Be4st187:
They interfere with WhatsApp, but seeing as that's a battery hog chilling in the background and I only really use it to communicate with my partner, we just switched to text messages instead as they are not affected and if she needs to share photo's or video, she just messages me to tell me to check WhatsApp and it loads the messages when I open the app. Not sure if it affects Facebook as I use the alternative app called 'Friendly' for Facebook as it can be skinned black to save on power and doesn't constantly stay connected to Facebook servers and drain battery. I didn't know Havoc updated. I was referring to whatever version was newer roughly 5 days ago.

the f devices shouldnt be carrier locked, at least not for USA carriers. Are you sure its not talking about a sim card lock? if ti is, many sim cards pins are 0000, 1234 etc etc, but you only get 3 tries before it locks it down and you will probably have to get a new sim as that usually burns the sim (not literally burn, its just the term we use as salespersons of cellular service when a sim is no longer usable for a multitude of reasons)

Just updated to Android 10 ROM - G970FXXU3BKSO on my international (SM-G970F/DS) Galaxy S10e.

Now, if I set the SIM card to use for "Mobile data" (with one SIM card turned off, and the option of either the active SIM (AT&T) or "off"), when I set the "mobile data" the the SIM card that is turned on, I get a toast mesage that (to the effect of) "AT&T will be used for mobile data", but, when the toast disappears, the Mobile Data setting is either "off" or just not present at all (that is, under "Mobile Data" there is nothing -- blank). If I use the "quick settings", it shows mobile data is on, but it isn't. If I toggle the quick settings to off, then on, it comes back on.

By itself, this isn't such a big deal, but, apparently randomly, mobile data simply gets turned off.

One UI 2 (Android 10 - "BSKO" rom) SIM card manager bug? - SOLVED

SOLVED: This was a bear to find.

TLDR: This was NOT a bug in the SIM card manager. It was a problem with the Google Fi app.

Google FI app was messing with SIM card control. Delete the app, and all is fine.

Long version:

Android 10 update for Samsung SM-G970F/DS (Dual SIM, Exnos, international version) seemed to break the SIM card manager for the dual SIM configuration.

Randomly, it would set Mobile Data to off, but not gracefully or correctly. Randomly, it would change the mobile data to use the alternate SIM card.

I have a Google FI SIM in slot 1, and an AT&T SIM card in slot 2.

Apparently, the Google FI app *thinks* it knows more than it does about the Samsung dual sim phones, and thinks it wants to switch SIM cards. It would disable mobile data, but not set the "mobile data" flag to "off". So, the mobile data looks like it is on, but, when bringing up the SIM card manager from settings/Connections/SIM card manager, the "Mobile data" was blank (which should never happen), instead of "Off"

Deleting the Google Fi application makes everything fine.

Google Fi app version: December 11, 2019 version. (V22-arm64-v8a-xxhdpi (282453276)

[Moto Z3 Play Questions & Answers] konifabu:
I just bought a new, unlocked z3p direct from Motorola. Unfortunately, the OTA system update in settings is telling me I'm up-to-date at Jan 1 '19, OPWS28.70-31-8. I've read some pretty awful stuff about using LMSA to flash updates, so I'm curious if there's an official repository of stock roms/updates/etc. and if I can just use ADB to update this thing myself. All I want is latest stock rom+security updates with root. The less involved the process, the better.

Additionally, if I go this route, do I need to manually install each intermediary update, or can I just grab the latest and put it on? A thorough reliable guide is enough; I'm just having trouble finding one that connects all the dots for a simple 'new phone' situation.

I'm fairly well versed at using ADB/flashing/etc. (nexus 4, 5x, g4 play, etc) but it's been two years since I've messed with it. Additionally I have very little idea how to navigate the unusual A/B partitioning.

Thanks!
[Moto Z3 Play Questions & Answers] konifabu:
UPDATE: My Z3P is now up to date with the September 1st security patch and Android 9. I bit the bullet and used LMSA (there's a trick to it) and am posting here so it can help anyone who was in my situation. First I'll list steps that should work for you, and then detail how I did it (which was a little different).

How To:

1. Get LMSA: https://xdaforums.com/general/general/update-moto-lenovo-moto-smart-assistant-t3951714

2. On your device, enable developer options and USB debugging. Ensure you have no screen-lock enabled.

3. Plug your phone in with LMSA open. LMSA app will install on the phone, give it every permission it requests.

4. Select your device model and LMSA will detect the latest build available. Download it.

4a. It might seem like the download is hanging once it reaches 0%. It won't tell you, but the file is being unzipped. Just leave it alone for a while. If the unzip fails, delete some stuff on the volume it's unzipping to.

5. Follow the steps on LMSA to update the phone. DO NOT TOUCH YOUR DEVICE. Just leave it be. It will look like nothing is happening, and/or LMSA will notify you of delays. Ignore them and let it go.

5a. Your device will be on a fastboot screen that prompts you to push the unlock button to "start". DO NOT TOUCH YOUR DEVICE.

What I did:

I got up to step 5, and kept seeing the 'delays'. I thought that it was a signal that LMSA needed me to press 'start' on the device end to help it begin the installation process. Incorrect. As soon as I did so, the LMSA process failed and my phone failed to boot with a message about a corrupt device.

At this point, I switched to the 'recover' tab in LMSA and let it recover with the same image I had downloaded for the update. However, this time, I just left it the hell alone at step 5. It took forever, so I walked away from it, and when I came back, my phone was booted into Pie.

When the fastboot screen is up, LMSA is working in the background to install the image. I'm quite certain that if I hadn't pressed 'start' on my device, my phone wouldn't have corrupted, and the image would have updated correctly. My suspicion is that many of the people having trouble with the LMSA are pressing 'start', which corrupts their devices because it boots while there's an incomplete image flashed to the phone.
[Google Pixel 4 XL Questions & Answers] dmarden:
So the new automatic screening option is awesome, except the note that "Automatic screening won't work if your phone is connected to headphones or speakers." Apparently my Galaxy Watch counts as this.

I never use my watch to make or answer phone calls, but I DO want the incoming call notifications/vibrating because sometimes my phone isn't handy and it let's me know so I can run and grab it if need be.

So a couple questions:

1. Anyone know if this behavior is the same for WearOS watches?

2. Anyone think of a way to address this? I tried disabling the phone toggle in the bluetooth connection, but that ended up preventing the notifications (though it did enable the screening).
