As a side note, it was hard to find this information back in 2013 on XDA since it's a grey area legally. But I have been pretty principled about the hotspot data charging. It's BS that ISPs charge you TWICE for using the same pipeline of data. Whether you are using your phone or a hotspot, it's still the same data pipeline. The reason a charge was instituted back in 2011/2012 for hotspot by the ISPs was due to saturation of LTE towers. But it's been proven by audits of outside companies that the ISP towers handle Quality of Service (QOS) packets automatically and if anyone is taxing the tower, they deprioritize them whether they are using a hotspot or not. Now that the bandwidth and technology is available with 5G and with 4G LTE, I don't understand charging for hotspot data. It was ludicrous then and it is still now. This has been a nickel and dime scheme from the beginning from the ISPs. And because of this nonsense, it's emboldended cable provider ISPs (Charter, Comcast, and Cox) to add data limits under the guise of bandwidth saturation.

It does work for me. And speed is fine
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ParadroidX:
Is it still working for you? I thought T-Mobile throttles speeds down to 3G speeds (<512kbps) on VPN traffic after a point; have you experienced that?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] B from C:
T-Mobile does indeed attempt to throttle or block tethering speeds depending on your plan and usage. But how do they do this? For several years now they apparently do this by monitoring the Time-To-Live (TTL) information on the network traffic coming from your phone. Traffic routing through your phone (tethered) will have a different TTL than traffic originating from your phone. You can dance around this by either changing/spoofing the TTL values of your tethered traffic to match those of your phone or hiding it all through a VPN tunnel. There are several threads on this forum detailing each approach.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] mac796:
It does still work. Although ip vanish doesn't work for a VPN anymore. I'm using adguard.

Edit also you need a custom kernel with the TTL. There prob other ways but this is easiest for me

I have always used PairVPN​
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] rester555:
Haven't used this before, but it's just a VPN tether right?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ilmar72:
vpn hotspot works, but you need root. I refuse to root anymore.. just unnecessary headaches.

This hotspot tethering was literally the last good reason I had to root a phone. Now that it doesn't cost much to actually have legit tethering from my carrier... I no longer need root nor vpn hotspot. My ATT plan offered 20GB of hotspot, and now I am on t-mobile which is 40GB before they throttle. That and I have the T-mobile unlimitted home wifi 5g hotspot (which is epic by the way !) so I really have not much of a need at all to wifi tether with my phone anymore unless I'm on the road or something and need to quick fire up my laptop.

my suggestion... just get a legit plan
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MadMan29729:
basically you still need hotspot mode but just tricks the system into thinking it's your phone using data rather than the connected device, supposedly it makes it to where your computer can use the Unlimited data of your phone rather than the limited hotspot

I TRIED TO FLASH LINEAGE OS WITH TWRP, BUT I DIDN'T EVEN MAKE IT TO THE WIPE STEP! I USED THESE INSTRUCTIONS: https://www.howtogeek.com/348545/how-to-install-lineageos-on-android/ And I made it to Step 4 without any problems. When I pressed the reboot button, however, it said “OS Not Installed” or something. The guide stated that it would automatically reboot to recovery, but it is currently not booting at all. The battery charging icon doesn't even turn off, and it's just stuck on. The only option I have is to use the power button+vol down+home key to enter download mode. When i try to choose the reboot button, as it takes me to the Samsung boot screen, and I'm stuck there unless i press the download mode button again, in after which I'm taken to the battery charging icon AGAIN. I attempted to boot into recovery mode, but it was unsuccessful. Please assist me!

Edit after much searching i finally booted into twrp recovery but when i was doing that i got this error "recovery is not seandroid enforcing". but i could finally get to twrp. the only problem is that when im trying to install crdroid its giving an error a pic of which im attatching. i tried 2 customs roms still dint work...

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] bommelkopp:
Hi all,

its a horrible day, after having done wrong (seems so...)

The following situation:

Had on my Axon 7 A2017G the ResurrectionRemix 7.0.2, then wanted to flash the TWRP 3.6 (wanted to try Lineage 17.1) - but after that nothing works:

Normal booting goes up to the lock screen, with the number field, and then nothing more.

Recovery doesn't seem to exist anymore, all possible key combinations for EDL/Fastboot/whatever never lead to a message...

Via adb I get so far, but there the device is marked as "unauthorized".

Can't change that with the tips either, because I can't get to the "Developer options".

And that's why in the MiFlash tool (neither Linux nor Windows variant) there is no way to get into EDL mode.

With Vol+ and Power I do get to the black screen with the lit LED, but MiFlash always wants to go into Fastboot mode, the Axon7Tool keeps saying "Device not detected". But it is detected by the Linux PC:

[ 1280.749935] usb 2-1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=18d1, idProduct=4ee7, bcdDevice= 3.18

[ 1335.091013] usb 2-1.2: Manufacturer: Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM

How do I get the device "Authorized" or otherwise into EDL mode?

I have a complete Backup of all prttions done with TWRP before "killing" Axon and my mood...

Or can anyone think of anything else?

In hope...

Bommel
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] bommelkopp:
It doesn't matter if I press Vol+, Vol- or both when the device is on - the ZTE logo appears, then the black screen with the red LED....

Basically the QUSB_BULK appears under "other devices", I specially set up a Win 7 computer with SP1 fresh and installed the Qualcomm USB drivers (Win 32).

On Linux the same as written in the first post.

Meanwhile, the login screen is also no longer shown, but only the black screen.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] bommelkopp:
Ah. Was able to enter EDL mode again, now, with next cable flashing stock was successful...

TWRP, restore from RR-backup, all doing as before...

But next case arrived.
[G1 General] chefgon:
Has anybody else found annoying bugs so far? Here's the ones that I've run into:

- Address Book server sync overwrites changes that you've made from the phone (haven't confirmed this one, might be my fault somehow)

- Multimedia volume slider plays your ringtone once you adjust the volume, but plays it at the volume set in the ringtone slider (not the volume that you're actually adjusting)

- Browser bookmarks list has a lot of trouble keeping site icons straight, it just kind of randomly shuffles them around to the wrong site as you load different bookmarks

- AOL Instant Messenger app shows weird behavior, not sure if it's a bug but it is definitely difficult to use in its current state. Locking the phone prevents messages from showing up, then on unlock they stream in all at once, and if you go too long without checking in on it the program will be terminated but your screen name will not be signed out of AOL's server

- There doesn't appear to be any way to set a vibration for notifications like Text Messages or IMs

- Some apps (MySpace Mobile, specifically) do not account for their process being interrupted when the screen rotates and the current action will be cancelled or the program will freeze.

Overall great phone, I'm really extremely impressed with it as a whole so far. I'm amazed at how fast my internet connection is on EDGE, my old Dash was technically on the exact same connection but took 5 or 10 times longer to load a full web page. Even without 3G the web browsing experience is comparable to using my desktop at home.

Go to craigslist.org. I wanted to ask a seller a question. When I email from there, it gives me 2 options, to use my pop 3 email account or gmail. If I use gmail, it takes off the craigslist.org extension and replaces it with gmail.com. If i choose to send with my pop 3, it just opens a blank email without the email address. I try to copy and paste the address into the sending field, but it won't let me. I use craigslist a lot, so this is a bit of a pain...

Otherwise, lovin the G1

So some inconsiderate person at work just picks up my phone without asking, and runs her broke-ass fingernails across the screen, BAM! instantly two fine hairline scratches right through the middle, all the way across. ARGG! Is there anyway I can buff these out, or get a new plastic screen?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] grahamkdt:
Scratches...

Always use a screen protector... and don't let women touch your device - women and technology don't mix! (Only joking ladies ;)).

I found this on eBay - it's really good stuff.

Displex

Hope this helps.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] GeckoDev:
It's probably a little too late, but a screen protector is always a good idea! :) Once you find out how to get it fixed, I highly recommend using one.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] suicidal.banana:
Well, it worked for mine but i still say test, do this:

- Toothpaste, it can be used to sand things with, like shiny plastics

- now, before you put half a tube on it, it would be safer to test first, take a little bit of toothpaste on your finger, little bit of water, mix between 2 fingers, then in circles rub a small corner of your screen, for a few minutes

- if it doesnt get less shiny, you can go rub circles over the scratch, once again a little toothpaste and a little drop of water to mix toothpaste with (makes it easyer to rub bscly)

The above got a nasty (unfortunatlly deep) scratch to be almost invisible when using device (cuz its deep u can still see it when the device is off) on my htc touch diamond, wich i caused the second day i got the device, by having the diamond and its headphones in the same pocket :(

The mentioned displex is a paste somewhere in between toothpaste and silver-cleaner-stuff, it would most likelly work better then my trick, but hey, maybe you can save yourself a few quids by getting the scratches off for 'free' :) (assuming you have toothpaste already) i do still advice you to even when you get displex test on a tiny part of a corner first, theres a whole lot of different plastics on phones. you can pick displex up at those phone stores that work with several contracters (orange tmobile etc)

This topic reminded me i didnt try with displex yet btw :P

Edit:

Another thing, screen protectors kinda suck on touch devices, since it reduces the capability to detect touch, always.

Didn't HTC state somewhere that it was amazing scratch proof glass and screen protector was only included out of habit?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Xui:
Displex is really awesome! Some ime ago i bought it for fixing my Laptop-Screen and even there (on an ASUS Crystal Display) it worked perfectly!

The only negative thing about Displex in my opinion is, that if you are using it too often, the screen will become kinda "unshiny" just like after polishing a car too much.... i noticed that after i used it several times to fix my Samsung D900 Screen

And regarding the screen protector delivered with the devide... I think it is a really good thing! I attached it to my Diamond after one week and didn't notice any differences... it even worked better when using the fingers to tap the screen.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] PJ6363:
Good advice here....tooth paste is good for removing most of a deep scratch BUT test first....

Displex to get the fine stuff....I would still test this as well, VERY CAREFULLY of course!!

Do not use toothpaste unless you test it first. Different toothpastes use different size grit. You may end up causing more problems.

To polish plastics, I use jeweller's rouge. Just rub some on a clean cloth and work away. It's slow but there's les chance of screwing things up.

If it's only a couple of fine scratches that are difficult to see, then leave it. Polishing will change the surface texture so you will need to polish the entire surface, not only the area of the scratches. It's doubtful that you'll find anything to match the original surface.

Hi,

I have a new Ulefone Armor X9 Pro. I am personally annoyed by all the preinstalled Google Apps like Google Play (I prefer free softwares available in FDroid for example), the Google search bar on the home screen, etc...

The first thing I did is disable and force exit of all the google apps and now, whatever I try to do I have notifications telling anything would work with Google Play disabled...

Even writing a sms or search something in Google Chrome is not possible because the keyboard does not appear...

I think I could solve this problem by

- enabling Google Play back

or

- download apk files for fdroid, aptoid etc. and install them manually

or

- root the phone

or

- install an alternative android version

But I am a newbie and I am afraid of broking my new phone...

Could you help me find the better way to use my phone without being force to use google services ?

Thank you for your answer.

But I cannot uninstall the google apps, I can only quit them and disable them.

And the final goal is to not use the google apps.

Fortunately, I succeeded in manually install the alternative apps I need.

First of all, when I first started the phone, I did not connect the internet.

Then, I exited and disabled all the google apps and services I found.

On my computer, I downloaded the apks :

- Fdroid package manager (for free/opensource apps)

- Fennek browser

- K9mail client

- Simple Contacts (Simple Mobile Tools)

- Simple Camera (Simple Mobile Tools)

- Simple Gallery (Simple Mobile Tools)

- Simple Phone (Simple Mobile Tools)

- Simple Keyboard (Apache)

I transferred them on the phone by USB and installed each manually.

After that I installed Aptoid to install Telegram.

Everything seems to work, google apps and services seems to not restart automatically and after I disabled all apps saying "App xxx cannot work without Google Play" I dont have notifications like this anymore.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXx yYy:
By default pre-installed GMS - what you call Google apps for whatever reason - are installed as system-privileged apps hence they are part of Android system and not any ordinary user app. You need a rooted Android to uninstall system-privileged apps, same is with Google Play components.
