I want to limit Instagram application to use a proxy server on my Android phone. - The server is mine, not some global VPN one.

I know it can be done from the WIFI settings, But I also know that INSTAGRAM CAN CHOOSE NOT TO USE THE PROXY but the WIFI connection directly, more over there is the WEBRTC issues that can leak the IP.

I tried Drony / College Proxy apps, they set a VPN for the connection to the proxy, but I am not sure it is safe enogth.

My Question is: what is the best practice to hide my real IP address and show the proxy?

DNS leak/ Webrtc / proxy avoidance ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marwen365:
Hello please im using my android 11.

The xposed is installed and perfectly worked.

I need to know if there any solution to change my ip as internal. Without using a vpn.

The website does not allow me to use vpn.

Also there is some offerwalls, if i come to complete an offer via my real IP, it be marked as completed, but if i open vpn its pass, but the offer mar as not completed.

I need the websites to read the fake IP as my internal ip.

The conclusion, i need to run fake IP to complete some offers with that custom IP.

Because VPN mark my offers as uncompleted.

And in my country there is 2 or 3 offers

In the usa, it contain more than 244 offers.

Is there anyhelp

Hi,

So today i made several posts and topics, and i noticed that when it's not a small amount of text, it cannot be posted without a workaround.

This error will appear: "Oops! We broke the matrix. Someone call Neo!" and it tells me to look in the console for more details. If i look there, it turns out to be an 403 Forbidden without any other useful details provided

The above meaning of this (403) makes me think it's a misconfiguration on XDA's end, therefore a site bug. It is very annoying, as it makes you unable to just post what you wrote, if it's not a small amount of text. So it will consume your time for the workaround or even prevent people from posting & throw their effort in the bin, if they don't know about the workaround

Workaround

First make a smaller post (so you cut down your text, and save the rest that is 'too long' according to the bug) and then once posted, edit it. Add the missed text while editing, and click Save.. that will work without errors.
[About XDA developers] mxz55:
Maybe i should do what the error message asks? Call Neo?

@Neo
[About XDA developers] Neo:
There is no post...
[About XDA developers] jenneh:
What I usually do is write all my stuff out before hand on a text file, then copy pasta. It is much more efficient!
[About XDA developers] mxz55:
what do you mean? I used the workaround that i described, so i could still make the posts that first gave me this "Matrix" error

So if you need a reference, those are:

Topic 1

Topic 2

Yes, now they exist, because i used the workaround of first shortening it, and later editing back in the text i cut from it, to avoid the error while initially posting it. And certainly i had all text in my editor and then respectively the "Post thread" and "Post reply" buttons gave me the error, if that's what you meant.

The issue really looks like a 'character limit', but in a way of a bug. It's not like it says "Too many characters" or anything, lol. But still, 403 means the server refuses it.
[About XDA developers] Neo:
In order to address your concern, I must first have you understand an undeniable truth, although I'm afraid it may be difficult to accept... This truth is that there is no post. It never existed. It never was and never will be. This is the reason for the error. An anomaly to a mathematical equation inherent to the program which can never be solved. The challenge you face going forward, is that you can either embrace this truth, or run from it.

The choice is up to you.
[About XDA developers] mxz55:
You don't believe me, i also said it replying to the PM: im sure about my case, my eyes dont lie haha. I mean, the text editor was filled with content that i intended to post, and it just refused to post it (with that error) unless i made it shorter, and then i could edit it in later.

So, to hopefully make you believe me, i just recorded a video for proving the bug:

https://streamable.com/owu2u3

I think your error logs are giving you the wrong impression, like the bug causes them to be limited as well? So it like indicates there was no content, as the bug make the content non-transmittable in the first place?

Did anyone else face this issue, when making posts & topics that aren't small? Like the size of my example topics that required the workaround to post

Edit: Neo informed me that he was making a joke about a glitch in the matrix, and i didnt watch the movies so i was clueless, heh. But now i finally laughed.
[About XDA developers] MikeChannon:
So if I say take the Red pill it won't make much sense either.... LoL

I'll do some experimenting with the problem you've had. I'm not sure if it's a character limit or maybe the range of mixed content you have (links, code etc).

I've not had reports of this from other people though.

Did you say you type it up in another app then copy paste to XDA?

Mike
[About XDA developers] mxz55:
It wasn't me who mentioned typing it up in another app.. that was jenneh. I don't know if maybe he faces the same issue (or various), so that he resorted to that

I wrote the content entirely in XDA's text editor.. when it comes to mixed content, all i did was:

- Have cursive and non-cursive text combined

- Have links (added through the XDA editor link button)

- Have varying text sizes, with size selected through the XDA editor

But when it comes to the last point, yes i did copypaste content from other locations in my text/other posts on XDA forums.. not to use it at all, but to work around a font size bug that also exists: see Issue: cannot select original font size, after changing it once in the editor purely for it to inherit the size of the copied text (which was original size). So it was to use the workaround, and then remove the copied text again. I doubt this step was involved though

Also, if it's content, it's weird that you can edit it in afterwards, but not post it right away. I'd figure that guide writers & release topic starters are the first ones to run into this (if the issue is triggered by an invisible, non intended character limit through a bug). Maybe no one reported it because large posts aren't so common, and then if they want to, they will simply spend half a minute to perform the "Editing it in" workaround rather than reporting it. It's a simple workaround because editing in lets you preserve the layout & style if you're copying it directly from another tab, the tab in which you failed to submit the post. So i figure people duplicate the tab once they run into the issue, post it in the new tab with only like 30% of content size, and then edit it in from the original tab. Thanks for investigating the issue!
[About XDA developers] MikeChannon:
Ok, well there could be several possibilities.

I have increased the Character limit from 60000 to 80000

There are several other things that can prevent posting.

Minimum 3 minutes between discussion posts

min 30 seconds between regular posts

max 20 messages per page

40 images per page

and it was 5 media embeds per page now 10.

There is also a screening for certain words and phrases and repetitions of some words/phrases.

The reason splitting posts sometimes works is because the system screens the part you are just about to post not the combination of the existing part plus the new part. So for things like repeated text, links etc., it can sometimes circumvent the standard limits.

On the character limit above (which I've increased), it does count unseen background code as characters. Sometimes if text is copied from other Apps it copies huge amounts of invisible and unused code which can gobble up the character limit.

If I play a video on media player 10, when I pause the screen goes blank rather than pausing what's playing. Is there any way to fix this?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Flying Kiwi:
Default behaviour

If you're talking about Pocket Media Player 10, that's default behaviour and the video is paused and will restart where it left off, you just cant see it when it's paused, so the program is working as it was designed. If you want to see it paused, take the file to your desktop pc and pause it on that or perhaps a better media player for the pocket pc may show paused video.

Hello everyone,

So I received my pixel device yesterday and sideloaded the December patch before unlocking the bootloader and such. Everything went smoothly for the most part other than the fact my phone bootlooped after patching the bootloader with magisk which forced me to factory reset. However, I have root running on my device now but when I try and search for modules within the app to install none show up. I am sorry, I've been away from android and rooting for some time now coming from an iPhone. Is there something wrong with my magisk or do I have to manually install all modules now? I am currently running the canary magisk build (23016). Thank you for the help!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Nothing wrong with your Magisk. If I remember correctly, there just will not be in an in-app available modules list anymore.

[About XDA developers] mxz55:
If you are writing a new post or topic, and do something like select another font size (in the editor options bar) for a part of your post, or copy text that is larger from elsewhere, of course your active font size will be updated to match what you copied.

But the issue is that there is no good way to return to the default font size after this happens, because there is no matching font size in the "Font size" option:

The smallest font size number that comes close (12) is too small, and the next bigger one (15) is too big. So it will look off compared to the rest of your text.

I mean, the default font size that you start to write in by default once you open text editor to create a post or topic, is a very comfortable one.. a good looking one for most generic purposes. So you can understand why people would want to keep writing in it, and to not have to change their entire post to match a font size that is selectable in the dropdown menu.

There is a non-intuitive workaround: to copy a line from another post on XDA forums, that was written in the default font size, and then copy it into your active text editor. To make sure you dont have cursive or anything, and to start typing in the middle of that copied line, so it inherits the font size. Then you will have to continue your own text above or under that line, and be careful not to let your cursor touch the borders of editor text with a different font size.. that means repeating the entire workaround process, just like when you change the font size during your writing at any later moment. You can see why it's a pain.

And all because of the missing font size value, and/or not being able to enter a custom number value. This should be an easy fix, right?
[About XDA developers] mxz55:
Here is an example of the problem, the small discrepancy between "Just a little bit too big" and "Just a little bit too small" to match the default font size.

Sample texts:

Test line of characters (default size)

Test line of characters (size 15)

Test line of characters (size 12)

The first line is what it's supposed to be. The second and third line are attempts to get back to what it's supposed to be, to the original size.. but you can see it doesn't look pretty (measure it by the location of the letter "C" from the word "characters", in comparison of the sample text lines underneath eachother) as it's again, just a little too small and just a little too big. The right value is probably size 13 or size 14, inbetween the available size values. That needs to be added to the font size dropdown, for this issue to be fixed.
[About XDA developers] J.Michael:
Test line of characters (default size)

Test line of characters (size 15)

Test line of characters (size 12)

Test line of characters (SIZE=0)

Test line of characters (no markup)

If you display the markup, you can be sure you are writing outside of any SIZE block. That will put you back in the realm of default font size.

I don't remember if it was easier in the old web site. I know I have been frustrated by the way the formatting of a quote bleeds into subsequent text I enter. Like I said, I toggle the BB code display so I can see exactly where I am typing.
[About XDA developers] mxz55:
Ah thanks, but that's a workaround itself.. and far from intuitive. Most people won't know of this as a workaround, they are just looking for the appropiate font size that matches original, if they typed in original during their text editing session, and would like to continue doing so.

I also saw your post here about size "0" supposedly being the original font size, but it is not in the dropdown list of font sizes in the XDA post editor.. the lowest number at the top there is "9", so without specific code block that specifies size, it's not usable. Just like the markup workaround not intuitive or obvious at all.

We shouldn't need to use workarounds, adding another font size that matches default text size should be relatively easy for site admins, maybe @MikeChannon can help to solve this matter?

[About XDA developers] MikeChannon:
There is a way to return to the default font size, even if you have no clue what size the default size is.

You just block any text you wish to set back to default and then click the eraser (Remove Formatting) symbol on the left as shown below.

View attachment 5490859

View attachment 5490857

That reverts to default settings. It is done this way as it avoids the User having to know what the default size is.

Mike

You can of course go into Toggle BB code [ ] and remove formatting that way but there is no need to.

Hello.

I have a Pixel 4 (Flame), which is running a Lineage OS derriative called Calyx OS (This was an issue when it was on Lineage OS as well). I struggle with the fact that VoLTE does not seem supported by my carrier (Telmore (A sub-company of TDC, so their APN's work)).

Has anyone had VoLTE working with LineageOS in Denmark? If so what device were you using?
