Hello,

Android's private dns does not work very well precisely depending on the dns server.

When I enter the DNS domain name and well it does not work at all!

This "FDN" DNS server, for example, does not work on Android at all, even when entering its domain name.

FDN - Fournisseur d'Accès à Internet associatif depuis 1992

Going back to ios you can change the dns without jailbreak it's possible but you have to go through an application etc which simulates a vpn connection, except.

Off on ios at least once root I can define the dns server of my choice by defining an ip address as on windows when you change the dns server, also it works afterwards in non-jailbreak mode.

On my iPhone my DNS at FDN works perfectly 3G/4G/5G Wifi.

If on android I can define the dns server of my choice by entering the dns ip address it's perfect but unfortunately it's not the case!

Is there anyway of changing the apps thats start up after a soft reset like there is on a pc (msconfig)??
[Wing, P4350 General] ivanmmj:
Yes, you can find most of it in the registry under HKLM/INIT and I forget the other place and also under windows\startup.

I'm not sure about an app that does it for you, I know they exist but I can't think of any at the momment.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] TheTAMAS:
Hi all,

Considering that all of you users of Poco F1 would know that in this device, SIM slot 1 is occupied by SD Card if you are using one, therefore, it gives rise to an issue whereby apps that want the SIM to be inserted in Slot 1 (banking apps) need validation repeatedly.

Is there a way to make the device think that SIM slot 2 is SIM slot 1?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] krazy23:
I know this is not the answer you were looking for but you can buy a sim extender to simultaneously use sim slot 1 and sd card
[Samsung Galaxy M51 Questions & Answers] kr428:
Folks; unsure whether it's the device, the camera app or just me, but: Is it (im)possible to shoot really "sharp" images using the M51 stock camera app or hardware? Using this in various situations, it basically seems to boil down to a _very_ limited range of focus within the image with everything outside being slightly blurred which looks quite bad especially on "natural" structures (trees / leaves). From a mere "optic" point of view it feels like the camera hardly has any depth-of-field and there seems no way to fix this. Is there...?

Thanks in advance and all the best,

Kristian
[Samsung Galaxy M51 Questions & Answers] Mohamedkam000:
Samsung Stock Camera is very bad at sharpness/HDR, it tries as much as possible to denoise pictures, and the front image processing is even more disappointing on many devices I've tried/used.

Using Google Camera, it feels very different, as there's manual settings, you can increase/decrease sharpness, saturation, hue, AWB, ...

So the problem is not the hardware but the camera app. Depth Camera works fine on objects/persons.

Consider trying the GCam that suits you from here. I can modify sharpness as low/high as I want.
[Samsung Galaxy M51 Questions & Answers] kr428:
Thanks for the feedback, will give it a try then. Just wondering (after playing with one of the builds for a moment): How _do_ I actually set sharpness and the like in GCam? Compared to OpenCamera or the stock app, user interface seems even more stripped-down. Maybe though I missed something here... :)
[Samsung Galaxy M51 Questions & Answers] Mohamedkam000:
Depends on the mod you are using, there's a lot of mods, each has his features, but most of them has lib patcher, allowing the modification of image processing library.

For an example, here's how you find sharpness on tigr GCam mod. It has a lot of controls. You can use xml files to load some ready-made configurations. Sometimes configuration may not be compatible with your device, then you'll need to clear app data and try another one.
[Samsung Galaxy M51 Questions & Answers] kr428:
Ah cool, wasn't aware of that. Will test-drive some of these and see how they do. Thanks bunches for pointing me there. :)
[Samsung Galaxy M51 Questions & Answers] Mohamedkam000:
Anytime, mate.
[Samsung Galaxy M51 Questions & Answers] kr428:
Replying to myself as recommendation / hint to future readers: All my fault. Period.

Longer answer: When ordering the M51, I applied a screen protector glass - to both the main display and the camera cut-out, in order to protect the camera when having the phone in my pocket. After spending quite some time playing around with this, I learnt that apparently the screen protector placed in front of the camera lens causes a drastic loss of quality (and, thinking a few moments longer about physics and refraction of light in different media, this is pretty obvious).

So: Without this thing on my lenses, quality is ages better. Don't use screen protectors in front of your M51 camera. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy M51 Questions & Answers] Mohamedkam000:
Uh .. never thought about this, because I thought it was obvious since 2014 or something that full screen protectors do cause problems with phone sensors, and front camera.

I couldn't find a screen protector with camera cutout for my A70, so I had to crack it manually.
[General Questions and Answers] nidozu:
I turned off and then restarted the developer's mode in my S7 yesterday. When I went to turn it on today, I got the message "Custom binary blocked by FRP Lock. I used power / start / vol down holding all three and came to a screen that wanted to know if I wanted to download (probably Odin). I then pushed two buttons of which one was the start button (the one in the middle of the bottom) and the vol up button, which started the phone trying to download. It got the message Downloading "Do not turn off target". I figured out how to stop that, but when the phone rebooted, it was back to "Custom binary Blocked ..."

The information I need to download firmware (like the CSC), is either in my phone or not common enough to exist in the country lists with their respective phone companies. My phone is an S7 and probably a G930F, although I can't verify that because I can't get into the phone. I would not mind downloading Odin, but I understand that the information regarding CSC_home with regard to who my provider is and what country I'm in is necessary in order to install Odin and I don't know how to find that information or to find the complete model number for the phone.

Thank you for any advice you can give me. I would prefer not to have to use a factory reset on the phone to get it up and running again.
[General Questions and Answers] Mohamedkam000:
Changing OEM Lock does trigger FRP sometimes, like 2 years ago my friend had the same on his Note5, it wasn't that hard to solve.

You need to verify your device model (written in the download mode's top left corner), then download a recent firmware, flash it via Odin, after booting, it'll ask you about your Google account and in some cases, your Samsung account, too.

Unless you've forgotten them, you should be good.
[General Questions and Answers] nidozu:
Thanks very much. I got the info off the download screen.

Do you mean I should go ahead and download Odin and then hope to find the right firmware? That's giving me part of the problem. I downloaded two different versions of Odin

3_v3.11.1

3_v3.12.3

I think to get the right firmware, I would need to know the country 3-letter code, if the phone is dual sim or not and the service provider? Since my service provider is not among those listed (like telekom or O2), can I use "unbranded" for my country? Or is this information for the CSC entry something my provider could provide?

Also, if I enter that into CSC, will I still have the option for Home_CSC? I'm quite interested in trying to keep my data.

And finally, I don't think I set up any account which had to do with the cloud. If an account was needed to verify the operating system, then I hope to be able to figure out what that was.
[General Questions and Answers] Mohamedkam000:
It doesn't matter. Any firmware will get your phone booting, that's the point, if it was FRP cause you forgot the Google account, then perhaps you should be picky, but since you're not, then it's fine.

CSC gets activated when the phone detects your SIM card, that's how it knows where you are and that's how it sets CSC features provided for your region. If you pulled the SIM out, it won't apply CSC just yet. If you travelled to another country, your CSC will be changed (once you boot into recovery).

What model your phone has, so I can find you some files?
[General Questions and Answers] nidozu:
I'm making some progress. I learned you can get the model number off of the recovery screen which I got to with power / vol up / Home and by waiting for the Recovery screen to appear.

I then found a very close firmware in updato, but the last letter was a y instead of a c, so not the perfect model-number-match. That one with the wrong last letter was for my region in the EU. The actual matching firmware ends with a c and I found that firmware on multiple websites, but listed as being from Thailand.

Now, the strange thing is that I bought the phone in Germany for a trip to Thailand and got it unlocked before I went there. Since I'm in Germany and most likely Telekom, and since I've read to trust no website except Updato, which doesn't have the firmware for my exact model number, I've been wondering how to proceed?

You asked for my model numberOne of the non-Updato websites offers the firmware with a checksum with the file, but since updato doesn't have that firmware file, I couldn't know if the checksum was the right one.

So I think what you asked for was the model which is G930FXXU1DQHC

Thanks very much.
[General Questions and Answers] Mohamedkam000:
That's a very old firmware, it has U1, latest has U8, I had the same device, too.

A trusted, reliable site would be AFH, search for G930F and find large files, that's the firmware.
[General Questions and Answers] nidozu:
Hi,

I found the big file of 1.8 gb called G930FXXU1DQHC_DevBase_v4.3.zip and downloaded it and extracted it to a folder I created myself called odin. It's not what I was expecting. It is a whole lot of folders within folders within folders, but none of the files that I would expect to be able to click on for an installation by odin. I was actually expecting three files that were clickable, which I've seen in instructions that utilize Odin to flash the firmware.

The two main folders it produced were ALEXNDR and META-INF. There's a single file at the same level as these two folders called options.prop.

Edit, I will try to attach a screen shot of what I was expecting to get.

More Edit: I'm not finding an installation file, so I think I'm at the point where I need to install Odin, but I don't know whether I install it on my pc or on my phone and if I should install that before I install the firmware. That's the point, isn't it? That Odin is in place to install the firmware?

Also, I can't see any exe files in the zip file I extracted, so I don't know what could be installed.

What is it I should be looking for?

Thank you. You're helping me keep going.
[General Questions and Answers] Mohamedkam000:
I see you did not get what U1 and U8 means. For an example, this is the latest firmware for Galaxy S7.

But, you downloaded a U1 firmware, which is very old to be believed. Forget about that, download this one, extract it, and flash it via Odin.
[General Questions and Answers] nidozu:
Thank you for that information.

The short version: I'm back in! All the stuff below is my journey which was rocky. Had to do some more internet searches, which brought me to another thread here in the forum:

https://xdaforums.com/t/cant-flash-firmware-rqt-closed.3901505/

For others who come after me:

I downloaded the firmware files, started Odin, put the phone in download mode (power / vol down / home), then plugged the phone into the computer and clicked on the boxes one at a time in Odin and was directed to firmware files in Windows Explorer and clicked on the correct one. I wanted to save my data so in the box called Userdata, I entered the CSC_Home file. They were all accepted. Then I clicked on Start in Odin and after a short time, the scrolling of files on the left side ended. That's where the above link comes in which says to try using a more recent Odin, so I tried again with Odin 3.13.1 (with the Chinese figures).

This attempt went better, took longer and then my phone sat and blinked Samsung at me for a very long time. I finally turned Odin off with Exit and then waited some more while the phone was still plugged into the computer. Then it started installing what it had downloaded. At least by now the little Android robot wasn't keeling over anymore.

After that finished, it asked for my pin and accepted it and I got back to the home screen. It then asked if this was my phone number, which it was. And I could see! that it had a charge of 44%.

I then went into Settings and looked for the developers setting and found that OEM was indeed turned off and that probably caused the FRP lock to occur. I turned the developers setting off for now.

I was able to keep my data with one annoyance. Some of the less standard apps are giving me a pop-up when I open them that says the apps are always on, do I want to close them, and there's a feedback button which simply shuts the popup off. You have to keep turning this off. It seems to affect non-standard apps, so I may have to reinstall those. I'll look into that ... tomorrow.

Many many thanks! It was so great to find someone who knew how to help me! I really appreciate it.

Hi everyone,

I have configured hands-free mode on my phone but after a while stop working (if I say "alexa" nothing happen). Then I configure again and alexa works as it should but after a while stop working again.

Yep doesn't work for me either

It will work the first time then the 2nd time you see the location icon appear on the status bar and nothing happens

If you press the alexa mic icon manually it will work

What I ended up doing was assigning the long press of the power button to alexa so now when I long press it it acts as my assistant and brings up the alexa prompt eliminating the need to say a key word to open alexa. (Hold the power button down even longer for the usual power options)

I have wasted a long night sleep to make this one, so please throw in a good word for it=p

It's basically an icon theme, but I managed to change also the Landscape Icons, which is rare. In the theme I included all manila files, so it should work with every ROM. (I use ROMeOS 1.05)

I also changed the background in landscape mode. I just made it a bit grey, but every other color option is available...

Here is a screenshot:

Attached:

The wallpaper I use in my screenshots in case anyone wants to use it

glassclockback - (It just change the backround, not the numbers)

GlassClock - The whole clock with the numbers

Glossy Black Bars.zip - Rename to .exe first and execute

LINK: http://rapidshare.com/files/148968022/Theme.zip.html

PS.: Thanks to the user who created the glass clock background.

EDIT: As you may have noticed the Landscape Theme is actually ment for Touch Pro, although the rest should work just fine on a Diamond. However, someone with a Diamond should try to make it work. Consider changing the registry string value "EnableLandscape" under HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\.

Change it from false to true. If the string value doesn't exist, you can create it.

will this work for the diamond? i don't see why not!

Well... The theme is actually made for Touch Pro. (It seems that I was too tired to mention it, sorry:p).

But, as I think about it, it should also work on the Diamond. I mean, all the files are there, why not?

If someone is willing to try it, please consider changing the registry string value EnableLandscape under HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\. Change it from false to true.

If the string value doesn't exist, create it.
