[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DirtyAngelicaSecured:
Some of my Android 11 devices with Always-On VPN apps ignore VPN tunnels when in Sleep Mode, even though "Always-On" and "Block Connections Without VPN" are enabled in Android Network & Internet settings. Local DNS resolver logs show that Android Sleep Mode WiFi activity includes Android devices attempting to resolve Google domains, such as google.com, connectivitycheck.gstatic.com, and play.googleapis.com outside of VPN tunnels using WiFi-assigned DNS resolver address instead of VPN-set resolver address. The same devices do use VPN tunnels in Sleep Mode when receiving email and other internet data. That means that VPN tunnel connection persists and isn't dropped in Sleep Mode.

It is almost as if there is a forced Android-set VPN Split Tunneling that can't be configured in any VPN apps. The same behavior happens with all VPN apps and protocols, but not on all devices. Disabling or enabling Battery Optimization for VPN apps makes no difference.

Some say that Captive Portal check is the issue, but none of following ADB Shell Captive Portal commands resolve this issue for me:

settings put global captive_portal_detection_enabled 0

settings put global captive_portal_server localhost

settings put global captive_portal_mode 0

settings put global wifi_watchdog_on 0

settings put global wifi_watchdog_background_check_enabled 0

pm disable com.android.captiveportallogin

This behavior is similar to how Android devices use carrier/SIM-card WiFi calling that also bypasses installed VPN apps and exclusively uses IPSec 3GPP ePDG tunnels to make/receive calls and/or SMS/MMS. Only app-based WiFi calling (WhatsApp, Viber, Skype, Telegram, Signal, etc.) and other internet apps can use installed VPN app tunnels.

There is definitely no way to tunnel carrier/SIM-card WiFi calling through installed VPN apps, but is there a way to prevent Android devices in Sleep Mode from trying to connect to google.com, connectivitycheck.gstatic.com, and play.googleapis.com outside of VPN tunnels? Connecting to those Google domains outside of VPN defeats the point of using a VPN!
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Tthhomas:
Hello,

I'm trying to flash a custom recovery on my pocophone f1. I can see it with adb devices and fastboot devices (and the device isn't set as unauthorized). But when I run fastboot flash or fastboot boot or fastboot erase userdata or any fastboot command, none of them seem to work. It just 'loads' for the infinity, not even returning a prompt in the terminal.

I'm using popOS btw.

Any idea of what could be going wrong ?

[Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers] cameralibre:
I managed to hard brick my G8+ when trying to install an update (details in this thread).

I've ordered a new phone, same model, and I want to avoid making another expensive mistake!

What's the best way to be able to install updates when the phone is rooted with magisk?

And do I need to set up magisk in any special way first?

I have available updates on the (stock) phone now, should I install them now or wait until after I have magisk set up?

I'm not super confident with this stuff so any tutorials/extra info you can link to would be really helpful. Thanks!

[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] ex4722:
So here's my story. I recently got a replacement for this device because it got too hot during charring and after shipping t back i got it back today without any email saying what happened or what was done. The issue it i think that they shipped the exact same device back to me as the screen was somewhat smudged and the sim pick was out of place, the same place i left it. So i was wondering if anyone is willing to charge and check their temperature reading while charging. It would be helpful if you used CPUZ just so i know we are on the same page.

[Android Stick & Console AllWinner based Computers] SmilingPerson:
I just picked up a dirt cheap, dirt low end Turewell Allwinner H3 T95 "Super" box. It is every bit as underpowered as those familiar with this line expect, but I bought it for a very specific application that requires very little horsepower. In short, it offloads some apps from my phone, and makes them available to Home Assistant via Tasker / MQTT. For the money and for this application, it was a good buy, I think.

But being able to root the box would be icing on the cake.

I have looked around for root methods and rooted firmware, and turned up very little. H3Droid might work, even though it uses Android 4, I think - I do not need Q, which it is running now. I just need UID0.

If it helps any, it is a Dolphin_P1 Mbox currently running mbox_10.2.0_20201017, with a Sun8iw7p1 SOC at API level 10, running Android 10 at kernel 4.9.170. The GPU is an ARM Mali-400 MP.

This: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B081JVTYRZ?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image

I couldn't be less knowledgeable about Android TV boxes, but I am sure that I can manage to use PhoenixSuite or whatever is necessary. I just can't track down TWRP, CWM or a rooted firmware. Am I searching in vain?

Thanks,

SP

[Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers] GoldElocks:
I'm wondering how if there is any easy and temporary way disable 5G and stay on LTE. Usually there is an option in mobile networks to select a preferred network but there is no option there for me (Google Fi). I've seen some apps that are supposed to give the option to switch networks but the 2 I tried didn't work. I'd like to avoid making any permanent settings changes that can't be switched back easily too.

I have no use for 5G speeds right now (LTE isn't much slower for me anyway) and LTE should give me better battery life which would be nice.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers] mitch10102000:
For non-standalone 5G networks, you should be able to select the Preferred Network Type, and just select LTE/CDMA or LTE/GSM/UMTS. If you do not see this option, you can also do this through the phone's dialer by entering the following command:

*#*#4636#*#*

Select "Phone Information"

There will be an option to "Set Preferred Network Type"

Select the network type that does NOT have "NR" in the name. I would select LTE/TDSCDMA/CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA. That should cover pretty much every provider but will take out the 5G NR.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] the Dragon:
I was wondering if anyone could enlighten me concerning SPB MS on my AT&T, stock ROM/Radio Tilt.

In my SPB MS I have 4 icons at the bottom: Now, SPBMenu, Contacts, and an X to close out of SPB MS. I noticed that all of the skins and themes for SPB MS have 5 active icons with no X and say.

Would this mean that none of these skins/themes are compatible with my SPBMS?

Is there something wrong with my version? (It says 2.1.2 and not just 2.1 like all of the posts)

Or is there something else amiss??

Thanks in advance!

Christopher
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mtkates:
Most custom skins for Mobile Shell have left out the close button because you can close Mobile Shell by swiping your finger from top to bottom. MS v2.1.2 is a minor update to v2.1 but you should be able to use most custom skins with it. MS v2.1.1 messed up a few of the custom skins so SPB work with customers to resolve the problem.

If you are familiar with replacing files on your phone then you should be able to use a custom skin, just be sure to follow the directions in the post you download it from.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] the Dragon:
Actually, I am not familiar with replacing files; I've never performed this act.

I will make an attempt tonight though :)

Thank you for reponding :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] the Dragon:
While we're on the subject, how can I transfer my thumb cal into the Now screen of the Mobile Shell?

When I tap a day on the Now screen, it goes to the factory Tilt calendar; which sucks :)

I'd like to tap a day and go directly to the Thumb Cal I have.

Thanks!

Christopher
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mtkates:
That is not currently possible with mobile shell. Hopefully SPB will change this in the future.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] the Dragon:
Dang. That sucks. Are variations of the Thumb Cal added as Icon tabs in the skins?

I'm guessing this is the case :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mtkates:
I've never used the program before and really not sure about all custom skins.

[Wing, P4350 General] XZACT:
i have a tmobile wing it seems that when the screen is on, theres a loud high pitched noise and a rough buzzing coming through the earpiece. but when i shut the screen off and the phone is running, no more noise. the time i really use the earpiece is when im actually on the phone talking. is there an program or something that can shut the screen off automatically when im connected on a call? that would be cool. thanks for reading

homescreen plus plus (battery meter)

tmobile wing settings

omapscaler: min:97mhz normal:201mhz max:201mhz boost:247mhz

omapapp: phone: 247mhz
[Wing, P4350 General] The Mike:
It's the interference between the processor frequency and the lcd screen. It's not actually coming from your earpiece... it's the whole screen while it's on. It gets worse if you set homescreen plus plus to a dynamic processor speed... Under 200mhz it becomes louder and much more audable. At 247 you should just have the high pitch tone. No way to get rid of it. Except do like I do, press the power button and turn off the screen everytime you have a conversation using the earpiece. Just letting u know, it's not only you that the phone makes that sound. On my 2nd wing (herald) because of it before I realized it's simply a design flaw. They all do that. Old folks won't mind because they can't hear the high pitch... I've experimented lol

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 1890170:
What do you mean with ramdisk? My understanding of RAMDisk is that it's a segment or portion of system memory on your Android phone that is used as a disk drive. In essence, it is a virtual storage, created by software, from your device’s RAM chip.

Anyway here I show you how a binary is made executable, assumed device's Android is rooted and you can access it via ADB then

adb devices
adb shell "su -c 'cd / && mount -t auto -o rw,remount <MOUNT_POINT>'"
adb push <BINARY_FILE> <MOUNT_POINT>/
adb shell "su -c 'chmod 0755 <MOUNT_POINT>/<BINARY_FILE>'"
adb shell "su -c 'chown <USER>:<GROUP> <MOUNT_POINT>/<BINARY_FILE>'"

where <MOUNT_POINT> is the partition / dir that will house the <BINARY_FILE>, where <USER> and/or <GROUP> can be specified by name or by number.

I get an error that says "The page cannot be found. Check the name and try again."

and i know for a fact that im not typing in "http://www.google.com" wrong. its not a hard one.

its not my connection. im sitting right next to my wireless modem and router and my computer is working fine. in the Comm Manager i have full Wifi service.

There was at one point when i a site to work, but then IE went back to the IE homepage on its own and wouldnt work again.

Not sure if this will help but...

I have found that if I switch networks from my "E" data plan to my home WIFI, or vice-versa, I have to quite IE (press the pink tmobile button and select "close" for IE) then restart it and viola it works. I seem to have to do this anytime I was using IE on one network and then connect to another without my phone being turned off at anytime in between.

Hope that helps.
