[General Questions and Answers] psychofaktory:
Hello,

I hope you can help me with the following questions:

When you connect to a WLAN, Android automatically determines whether it has an internet connection.

If no internet connection is detected, you are still connected to the WLAN (or a message is displayed that there is no internet connection and whether the connection should be maintained), but the data traffic is routed exclusively via the mobile network.

Now I have a network device that sends out its own WLAN but does not have Internet access itself. When I connect to its WLAN, I still cannot access the device because it recognises that no Internet connection is possible via this WLAN. Only when I explicitly switch off the mobile data can I access the device via the WLAN.

So I did some research to find out what mechanism underlies this behaviour.

What I have already been able to find out is the following:

When connecting to a WLAN, Android checks the accessibility of https://connectivitycheck.gstatic.com/generate_204. If this URL is accessible, data is also sent.

If this URL is available, data traffic is also routed via the WLAN.

So I reproduced the URL using these instructions and made it accessible locally via a redirection at my DNS server.

Now a connection to the device is actually possible via the WLAN without having to explicitly switch off the mobile data.

However, Android still recognises that no internet access is possible via the WLAN.

As I understand it, this should not be the case, since I am simulating existing access via the reconstructed connectivity check URL.

So there seem to be other mechanisms here that check the internet connection.

How exactly is connectivity checked on Android?

Can anyone tell me what other mechanisms exist here and how they can be simulated?

The second question I have also concerns the WLAN.

When I am connected to a Wi-Fi network, Android sometimes reports that the quality is low even though the Wi-Fi reception is excellent and the signal strength is also displayed as "very good".

I don't have any network rating provider active in Android.

How does Android determine that the quality is low and how can I prevent this check?

What criteria are used to rate networks without a network rating provider set up?

For completeness:

In the developer options of my smartphone, the setting "Mobile data usage always activated" is of course active.

Follow and complain here.

Let ASUS know their bootloader implementation is VERY NOT FRIENDLY to us. I've been modding my Android devices since the Android 2 era and this is the first time I encountered an UNOFFICIALLY UNRECOVERABLE state which is a HORRIBLE experience.

Me? Have played with

Samsung(S5 to S9 and Tab/Odin is a good thing)

XiaomiRedmiPoco(Main device for me today, very modder friendly and robust)

Huawei(Remember when they allow applying for BL unlock?)

Apple(LOL jailbreak from A4 SoC until iPhone X(meantime Samsung S8 looks gorgeous) lost my interest)

And various small brands or exited market big brands(honorable mention Lenovo LePhone C101. My first smart device/Android and received big community support at the good old time)

ASUS. Fix your buggy BL. Fix your policy. Release everything we need to fix OUR DEVICES of OURSELVES. Just ONE step closer to perfect.
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] iMoc:
Just imagine how stupid is this:

Everytime you want to update you operating system, your UEFI/BIOS firmware might break.

And worse, that you don't have free official resources to fix it?

And can it be worse? Yes! Your Warranty is maybe void because you may unlocked bootloader, now supposedly only ASUS service center have the file to fix it.

Ha now it's interesting. That's the era of ANTITRUST. Even Apple won't do it(Worst case DFU, easily fixable using OFFICIAL iTunes).

WT*?
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] notdak:
yeah dude i'm bricked up rn
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] iMoc:
Paid here, paid there.

Yeah sure.

Exploit people.
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] mahdibassam:
Perhaps instead of ranting about asus, you could tell us what you have done exactly to brick your device, and someone might be able to help you ? can you get into fastboot at all?
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] johnny886:
EDIT: quoted content removed.

Never use this firmware, because it has not been modified, 100% of fingerprints and IMEI will be lost after use. You need to modify the firmware before you can flash it.
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] iMoc:
Trying to flash img unpacked from update zip. Which you should NOT do. Because Android 12 dynamic partition.
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] mahdibassam:
Ok, yes you definitely should not do that :(

So just wondering, you went and grabbed some img files and made the decision to flash them, why is this any fault of asus? :D
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] iMoc:
1\ The fastboot code in their bootloader have bugs, any CORRECT command you type can easily break bootloader then stuck you in 9008.

2\ The normal update method failed because THEIR UPDATER did do things wrong.

3\ They refuse to provide official ROM to let yourself fix it. SEND IT TO ME TO FIX IT, AND I MIGHT CHARGE YOU SOME.

....\

N\ You go talk to Apple about it because they are experts about saying YOU USED IT WRONG.
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] iMoc:
Anyone asked for help gets it for free so far.

All devs on my chat group agree at least fastboot flashable should be available on the official download page.

MOD EDIT: off topic content removed
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] insideoft:
Did you manage to unbrick your phone?

I managed to semi hard brick my phone. Can get into fastboot but unable to start recovery mode from fast boot and phone doesn't show up from adb devices.

I guess I'll start a new thread but any tips?
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] iMoc:
If you can boot into fastboot you can just flash the RAW ROM file available a few days ago. It's not bricked in this case.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Bkeinn_ll:
I was looking for ways to customize my devices ui and thought that an RRO would be exactly what I need.

So I looked around and only found tutorials which are ~5 years old (besides one but I am still not able to make it work) and according to the android documentation, there have bin some changes since than.

I still tried the old tutorials, but non of them worked.(and the android documentation didn’t help a lot)

So I am stuck with not working code (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73124428/runtime-resource-overlay-cant-be-enabled).

Do you know any recent tutorials and if not why(why are there no recent tutorials regarding rros any more, are they discontinued by android?)
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] misfitwrx:
I read in a post somewhere in the diamond thread i think tht all the gps problems are hardware related. A bad board or something, can anyone that has contacted HTC about this confirm it?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ecltech:
My GPS is working fine. I have a Fuze, no problems. I did have to use HTC GPS Tool to get the initial GPS lock. After that (and after software reset) both Google maps and TomTom finds a signal within a minute.

I also made a change of using COM1 as the hardware port. I haven't tested it to see if that also helped but just passing that along.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mindfrost82:
My GPS also seems to be working fine, there might be a little lag, but not enough to worry about IMO.

It usually doesn't get a lock indoors like my Tilt did, but that's no big deal since I usually don't use it indoors.

I notice while driving it takes a second or two after I stop for it to show that I'm going 0mph (in Garmin), but I think it did that in my Tilt too.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] misfitwrx:
thanks for the info. i plan on buying a fuze in december when i can upgrade, i have been seeing mixed reports of some people having no trouble at all with it, while others say the gps is unusable no matter what tweaks they use. also most of the people describing the lag are using meters so i assume most of the trouble is non US users?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] wmm:
The problem I have with the GPS is that it's so random. I've had the Fuze for a little over a week now, and sometimes it will lock on the satellites within just a few seconds. Other times I can wait for ten minutes and never get a lock. People report all kinds of fixes, but my suspicion is that in most cases the GPS decided randomly to work at some point, which was incorrectly interpreted as meaning that the tweak they just tested must have been the key. I dunno.

With respect to the lag problem, I've been testing two over-the-air products, the AT&T Navigator (TeleNav) and the freebie AmazeGPS. Interestingly, they seem to have different lag characteristics: TeleNav seems generally to show the car position 2-4 seconds behind reality, while AmazeGPS generally has the car within a second of the actual position. That's a subjective judgment made while I was driving, so I wouldn't bet the farm that it's consistently that way (and, obviously, I'm not using both at the same time, so with the limited number of samples I have, it could well be happenstance). I'm in Massachusetts, BTW.

That said, however, neither really suffers much from the lag; the voice announcement in both cases is in plenty of time for seeing and making turns.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mindfrost82:
I completely agree. I've had NO problems getting a lock outside (I'm in Illinois). It generally takes 30-60 seconds, but it has worked EVERY time. That's about as long as it took my BT GPS puck to get a lock.

As far as lag, I don't notice it much while driving. As you said, the voice announcements work just the same, announcing when you turn, before you get to the intersection. I haven't tried anything in pedestrian mode, it might be more noticable in that.

I've been using Garmin Mobile XT and iGo8 as my test apps.

There are already two threads in this forum about workarounds for the GPS, i'm closing this one. Please post in either one of the preexisting threads.
[OnePlus 9 Pro] User NiNaNo:
I'm about to buy oneplus 9 pro t-mobile version from ebay, I'm currently using mint sim which is tmobile mvno.

I'm using oneplus 7t global version, but I never used t-mobile version of android before so I'm little confused.

I heard that I have to unlock the network for using other than tmobile network, if I'm not a t-mobile customer how do I unlock the network, and I want to flash custom rom on it, so I believe I should unlock the network first than bootloader?
[OnePlus 9 Pro] galaxys:
Hi, I don't have the T-Mobile 9 Pro. But here's a good guide for SIM (network unlock), etc...

[Moto E6s Guides, News, & Discussion] koyo:
I don't know if anyone has this issue but when I use GSIs, I have an issue where bluetooth devices don't play audio, or if they do, it's extremely garbled. Eventually I found a solution and perhaps on the rare occassion that someone is looking for this solution, perhaps this can help you.

WARNING: Applies primarily to phhusson based GSIs

1) Go to Android Settings

2) Go to the Phh / Treble Settings

3) Go to Misc Settings

4) Check "Use alternate way to detect headset" and "Disable audio effects."

This worked for me and it should work for you. If it doesn't work, here are some additional settings you can fiddle with

1) In the same Phh / Treble Settings menu, go to Qualcomm Features and check the "Use alternate audio policy" and "Disable soundvolume effect"

2) In the Misc Settings menu, try checking things in "Bluetooth Workarounds" and "Force-disable A2DP offload"

Hope this guide helps you. In the screenshots are some screens to help you know what to look for. The menu is based off of AndyYan's LineageOS 18.1 GSI.

In other news, I still haven't found a solution to not being able to install Riru and Lsposed / Edxposed. Android doesn't seem to recognize Riru is installed. The same thing happens on Stock so it's definitely not the GSI.
[Moto E6s Guides, News, & Discussion] refrigerador67:
Hello! Can I ask what GSI/Model you are using? It would be a lot of help

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Redbeardkevv:
Does anyone think android 13 final will be released on Monday ? I thought I read something stating the July update was the last Android 12 update that the pixel 6 would see . So Im curious . Thanks
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Since Google said that it was going to release Android 13 beta for the Pixel 6a soon, I doubt it, but who knows. Would be strange to release A13 Beta for the 6a a day or 2 before the release of stable A13 and even stranger to release the beta for that phone after the stable is released. But we're talking about Google here, so nothing would shock me.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Redbeardkevv:
Well I thought the point of beta 4.1 was to finalize the build and be the "last" before official release lol.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
It is.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Redbeardkevv:
So wouldn't that entail a early August release for the pixel 6 and other devices that already had there rounds of the beta? The 6a hasn't even had a beta yet .. it would take another x amount of betas to get it right for the 6a . Wouldnt they just release for what they got now and worry about 6a release after ? Lol
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
I don't think they want to put the 6a on a different schedule than all the other Pixels, especially given all the negative pushback when they were releasing builds for the Pixel 6 series later than for all the other Pixels.

The beta they release for the 6a would likely be 4.1. They aren't going to release a special beta just for the 6a, and then release more until they get it right. All the Pixels get the same beta.

But like I said, who knows? Just wait and see what happens. None of us can control it so don't even worry about it. It happens when it happens, whether Monday, the next Monday, or whenever...
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Redbeardkevv:
Idk everything I read which is all speculation said early August for a13... Idk

[G1 Android Development] :
I have rc28 g1, was trying to install new recovery image to phone. First reboot i held down home and power and released (didn't hold down till i got recovery triangle....forgot)

Now I hold down home and power together but recovery doesn't come up.... just loads the phone (phone works fine). Recovery screen did work before, I restored phone to defaults before activating.

If i hold down camera, the three colors screen does come up.

Be kind and help a bro out...

thanks
[G1 Android Development] jashsu:
If you still have root, just reflash the recovery.img

1. Extract recovery.img from RC28 update.zip or get modified recovery.img

2. Copy recovery.img to the microSD using usb mount or external usb reader. Make sure to unmount the usb device before disconnecting.

3. Get root prompt somehow (telnetd+Telnet.apk or adb)

4. Do the following:

# mount -o remount rw /system
# cd /system
# cat /sdcard/recovery_testkeys.img > recovery.img
# flash_image recovery recovery.img

5. Turn off the phone completely by holding down red button.

Recovery should now work. Hold down Home+Red until it appears.
[G1 Android Development] :
got recovery back

I guess its important to unmount usb before ejecting.

thanks jashsu

[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] JetVoz:
Hey Pixel 5 owners, greetings from Ukraine!

I had been using Pixel 4A for quite a while, but the battery started draining fast, and even the battery replacement didn't help.

That's why I switched to Realme 9 Pro+, but sometimes I pick up my 4A, and it's much more pleasant to use for me even though Realme has better specs.

I'm considering going back to some Pixel, and since the Pixel 6 is bigger and heavier than I like (and looks like it's quite buggy), I'm thinking of buying a Pixel 5 having that nice plastic back with a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner I like. The size and weight are also great.

However, it's been two years since the Pixel 5 was released. Still relevant? Refurbished Pixel 5 vs. new Pixel 5?

Thank you!!
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
The Pixel 5 is no longer available new from Google. I bought mine new to replace my old Pixel 2, and it's been a solid phone. If you don't mind a slightly larger device with 6GB RAM vs 8GB, the 5a is a solid device, and has a higher capacity battery. Either way, both are very solid phones. I dislike the Pixel 6 so I won't be upgrading.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] andybones:
If you can find a good conditioned Pixel 5, absolutely!

I LOVE mine.

I was probably going to grab a Pixel 6a considering the Tensor chip and smaller size, but the 60Hz screen is a full on no-go for me. I mean hell, the Pixel 5 has a 90hz screen..

But yea if you don't mind a little bigger phone, the 5a looks promising.. I prefer the smaller sized screen on the 5 though.

I'll easily wait for the Pixel 7 to see if I like it. For now, the Pixel 5 is still getting me 10+ hours on a full charge. (lite user here..)

Stock ROM + AOSP MOds FTW.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] JetVoz:
thanks for sharing! That sounds like a plan... grabbing a P5 or P5A and waiting for the P7 reviews to decide on upgrading.

" hardware address 5e:99:xx:xx:xx:xx claims 192.168.1.254 ". it is the oneplus 9 mac address.
