[Introductions] ThankGod 4 XDA developers:
Thank you much for your reply, guidance, and help, Didgeridoohan.

I was happy to see, layman or not, I was, atleast, on the right track with some things. I have been utilizing the "dumb phones". Mostly, flip phones from yester-year; mostly a decade old or more. The problem I am running into with those: the 2G and 3G bands they operate on are being discontinued by more and more cellular providers. By some time in 2022, most of my dumb phones will nolonger be operational.

Regarding the Pine phone, is was nice to see, I was on the right track there. I will indeed continue to investigate that phone, and see what is possible there.

I'd love to unlock the bootloader of my LG V40, and install that Googleless ROM, as suggested. It looks pretty complicated to accomplish though, on a LG V40 (unlocked, US version); and, I am a likely brick candidate, if there ever was one. Hoping to figure out what is possible for me by talking to you guys; then, move on from there, to what I can safely accomplish myself.

I'd love to get Microsoft and Google off my machines and devices; and, still have decent avenues to keep doing the stuff I have been doing. Speaking of which, any recommendations for the computer programming ignorant and novice still wanting near Microsoft OS capability and functionality, without all the snooping, in a replacement OS for their desktop and laptop??

Thanks Didgeridoohan,

ALEX

Thank you for the empowerment Black Hawk.

Definitely understand why you are calling my attention to the social media apps ......what aren't they collecting about your communications with others?!

I as well understand: why you are steering me towards prepaid phone accounts, funded in cash only. I additionally understand why you are suggesting keeping my phone powered off, and using it only in unfrequented places. Lastly, getting rid of the device, and starting over with a fresh device periodically, understand as well. All powerful recommendations, if higher levels of privacy are valued. Thank you much!

NASA surveillance, and their capabilities .......effectly, databasing any and all forms of communication between human beings .......is scary stuff. I only wonder: who has access, for what purposes; and, does this access include private corporations .......and what might those corporations be using this database for?

I am continuing to review and think about your latest suggestions, and will comment later. How may I private message you, if possible, and you allow it?

Your input has been greatly appreciated, my friend.

I'm being somewhat sarcastic about the paid phone apps. Really if you are under their suspicion and a high value target... they can be quit adaptable with a lot of resources at their disposal.

I wasn't being sarcastic about FB etc, pure poison. Don't dime yourself out... social malware.
[Introductions] ThankGod 4 XDA developers:
The usage of voice recognition technology, by the telecommunication companies, and others, is a real scary thing; and, I believe: most of the public is not aware of this fact. This technology, and its wide spread usage, across our telecommunication networks, represents a direct assault on our freedom of speech, and right to privacy, as we attempt to communicate privately with our fellow citizens, in a supposedly, free society. The fact, the government, and corporations operating in the private sector, have access to, and are scrutinizing, communications between private citizens, who have not been convicted in a court of law as being involved in criminal or terroristic activity; or, even had been benefit of the judicial process, as they are unknowingly being spied upon......is.....

...diabolical ..........and certainly, ............anti-American.
[Introductions] blackhawk:
Well again this is a technical forum.
[Introductions] ThankGod 4 XDA developers:
I understand, now, you were being a little "tongue and cheeck" with me; but, I think: your recommendations still apply, for anyone trying to understand: what it would take, not to be tracked easily. I as well understand: later, what you were alluding to, and your overall point -- about the magnitude of surveillance resources that could be brought to bare against you; if, you were quite important, to substantial figures.
[Introductions] ThankGod 4 XDA developers:

[Introductions] Anti-Transhumanist:
With all due respect, we live in a pervasive, corrupt corporate and political technocracy that has weaponized our phones, and all technology, to surveil and track our every move, views, opinions, activities, locations. The Borg is exempt from this illegal invasion of privacy and operates in secrecy with impunity for their tyrannical crimes against humanity. Ignoring this tragic reality is why our privacy, rights, and freedoms are all being stripped away. Those who bury their head in the sand and refuse to wake up to this travesty and resist on all relative platforms. Are useful idiot slaves who are playing right into their hands and are assimilated by the Borg! Just keeping it real because this harsh reality must be spread far and wide since capitulation is assimilation and assimilation is extermination. Comply and you Die!
[Introductions] Didgeridoohan:
Good thing that the Borg are fictitious then...

Still, my original statement stands: leave the politics out of any discussions/posts on XDA. It's perfectly possible to discuss privacy concerns without bringing up politics...
[Introductions] Anti-Transhumanist:
Obviously the Borg taken from Star Trek is fictitious but it's a single word representation of a conglomeration of secret societies. That includes the Freemasons, Jesuits, Illuminati and other psychopathic death cults with an anti human, genocidal agenda.

Your name implies you reside or are from Australia which is being overtaken and decimated by them. In part because the good people of Australia have fallen right into their trap. Which includes spinning and twisting words to subvert the truth and distort reality. Such as inferring the use of this fictitious title to describe a conglomeration of very real, nefarious, evil, elements. Ridiculously suggests I'm some psychotic conspiracy theorist that blurs the lines between truth and fiction.

The distinction's very clear to me because I'm awake to reality unlike the masses that are like lemmings running straight off a cliff to their death. I'll leave it at that.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] jhassell:
I want the application I am developing to use the Wi-Fi and Mobile Data (cellular) interfaces simultaneously on my Android 11 Galaxy Tab S7 5G device. The setting "Mobile data always active" does indeed allow fast interface-changeover. However, both interfaces are never data-accessible simultaneously. Using a third-party channel-bonding VPN service, called Speedify, this is possible on this Galaxy Tab S7 5G tablet. Speedify uses something mysterious called channel bonding with their VPN service to accomplish this. Also, a Google Pixel running Android 11 is also able to use both interfaces simultaneously, without any third-party utility help. In addition, the Garmin ActiveCaptain App also, somehow, gives this tablet the ability to communicate on both interfaces, simultaneously. How can my application use both interfaces on a Galaxy Tab S7 5G without using the Speedify App (not possible because of security and business reasons)?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] OneOfMany07:
Did you get anywhere with this?

How have you verified the Garmin app has this functionality? And when are both interfaces used? I wonder if only one channel has a typical data connection, and the other is for some other purpose (location, or something).

I think Speedify gets around the usual OS limitations by creating a single virtual device that all requests go through, then they decide which network to send packets on. It is neat to hear this can work on a mobile device though! I had assumed their service was for people on more typical PC like hardware.

In a way I'm not surprised Google's own phone has managed some tricks others haven't. Though I'd hope it wasn't an Android 11 only feature (meaning 12+ don't/won't have it).

This assumption of only cell or wifi being active might be baked in at an OS level to force better battery life. Personally I like flexibility and choice, but I can imagine less knowledgeable users getting angry at their terrible battery life (after they enable a feature they don't understand).

Maybe this is worth filing a bug with Android and seeing what they say? Or asking Samsung directly?

I was bummed when I figured out I couldn't just pay two ISP's for internet service and load balance across both easily. That my consumer router's optional 2nd WAN port was only a failover option (use one or the other).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] jhassell:
As you alluded, for Samsung phones and tablets running Android 11 or Android 12, the ultimate solution is to route both WiFi and Mobile Data (cellular) data through a virtual interface e.g. tun0, via a VPN tunnel interface. I believe this will "shield" the Samsung one-or-the other route-switching that prevents simultaneous operation over both WiFi and Mobile Data. I am assembling just such a VPN now. I could certainly use any tips or suggestions from others that have already been down this road.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] thanhson1903:
Hi, I have same yours problem. I can install VPN servers, Android VNP Client. But I don't know how to make this setting work. Have you completed the application? Are there any documents you can refer to help to achieve the goal?

Hello everyone,

Starting a new thread for all Aussie mates. Discuss anything from suggestions, fixes, news. I will start with just mentioning.

Optus is currently offering 7 day flex prepaid plan free for 7 days and because the Pixel 6 uses E-sim facility , you can literally have two sim cards on the phone ( one physical and one e-sim ) .

I updated to A1 and things seem to be working fine. But I would want to update to A5 since the current mobile network quality is terrible compared to my Oneplus 5T, same SIMs (Optus and Telstra). Interesting that we didn't have Aus specific update before. Do you think that the process of updating A1 to A5 would be the same as from 037 to A1? I am rooted and don't want to lose data.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Texan1:
Ah, this is interesting, I did a factory reset and updated using the A1 build yesterday, not knowing that there was going to be an A5 Australian version!

Interestingly, since updating to the A1 version, I've definitely experienced my Telstra 5G signal being noticeably worse than before updating :mad:

Looking forward to A5 now!

Great, new to ADB and all things pixel coming from Note.

TIA.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mclarence:
Sure,

Make a backup of your phone data just in case.

Download the appropriate SQ1D.211205.016.A5 build for your pixel 6 or pixel 6 pro.

Extract the zip file and open flash-all.bat

Edit this line from

fastboot -w update image-raven-sq1d.211205.016.a5.zip

to

fastboot update --disable-verity --disable-verification image-raven-sq1d.211205.016.a5.zip

and save the file.

Reboot your phone into the bootloader.

Once in bootloader, plug your phone into your PC and run the flash-all.bat and wait for the process to finish.

Once it boots into android, root again with magisk.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] nguyenson91hp:
@mclarence

I updated successfully to A5 and installed Kirisakura kernel with root and data remain. To my surprise, the mobile network quality is terrible, seems to even worse than A1 lol.

Both Optus and Telstra only max out at half the triangle icon.

So does the A5 version increase or decrease 5G network speed? My Red Magic 6 pro is like double the 5G speed of the Pixel 6 pro.. Not very impressed tbh
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] OzBoy1:
I have seen a huge improvement in A5, went from like 60-80 down and up's of 20-30 to now around 280-320 ups to 50-80 downs. Not as good as my 5G home but lots better than it was.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Texan1:
For those still having issues with network connection and/or speeds, I've seen this suggestion mentioned in a few forums/groups and it's an easy one to try.

Basically, join the beta program for the 'Carrier Services' app in the Play Store, then download the updated version. I did this tonight and from a very limited sample size (only being able to test at home), I did notice my 5G speeds which are normally around 100-200Mbps in this location, get up to 300Mbps. I'll do some more testing tomorrow.
