New version 1.0.6, what's new:

Automatic and Manual Configurator (disabling battery optimization, autostart, and background service pinning)

Updated the database

Autorecovery functionality

Proper VPN disconnection through the Settings app

Resolved an issue with VPN disconnections in some cases

Fixed an issue with logs and statistics

Fixed minor bugs

Why do I need the Automatic Configurator feature?

As is widely recognized, phone manufacturers have been engaged in a longstanding battle for the extended autonomy of battery operation. However, instead of integrating new battery technology, device manufacturers have chosen a simpler and cheaper approach: they simply disable what they perceive as "harmful and power-hungry applications" that supposedly "ruthlessly drain the user's battery". In the end, it's the regular users who suffer, as none of their background applications function properly, and all the blame falls on the "negligent app developers".

But we've rectified this in our RedGuard application! Usually, users are required to embark on a quest to get their necessary background applications to function correctly. Not everyone knows where to go and what to do to override the "helpful optimization" on their phones. This is valuable user time that phone manufacturers have unceremoniously taken and pocketed for themselves. The new Automatic Configurator feature allows users to effortlessly configure the necessary system settings for RedGuard's proper operation. Just enable the protection and follow the instructions.

RedGuard also provides the Manual Configurator for those instances where the Automatic Configurator falls short and the app keeps shutting down due to the system. You can find it in the "Does not work?" section.

What is the Autorecovery feature?

However, Android can still halt RedGuard at any given moment according to its own discretion. This is contingent upon an extensive array of factors over which we have no control. Even the ambient temperature can interrupt the operation of any application.

The novel Autorecovery feature remains vigilant at all times and further enhances the resilience of the RedGuard application. Autorecovery perseveres in its duties even in the face of the system forcibly stopping all background services of the app. Hence, the user won't even notice interruptions in RedGuard's functioning.

The Automatic Configurator and Autorecovery features are designed to ensure uninterrupted performance of the RedGuard application, improving user protection even more.

[Red Magic 8 pro] tono33:
I hope you can help me with a situation that I have with my redmagic 8 pro. I have auto fan set to start when the phone is plugged in for fast charging, so the fan starts on low speed. Lately when connecting the phone for charging, the fan starts, but at maximum speed (without being active). It is normal? Or is my phone getting hotter than it should be in the charging process and that's why the fan starts at maximum speed?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] rduz:
Hi I just wanted to ask if I can flash a SM-N960U firmware on my Samsung Note 9 (SM-N960U1) Device so maybe I can unlock my bootloader and flash a Custom ROM.

and if I can just unlock the bootloader without flashing a different firmware because I don't see the OEM unlock option.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] dave678:
US Samsung phones have been bootloader locked since the S7. U and U1 models are both bootloader locked.
[General Questions and Answers] Mumblefratz:
Basically there's two things I'm trying to accomplish. The first thing is to be able to SAFELY access my pc when I'm not at home. The second is to be able to log onto my local network from the outside world and make it look as if the traffic originates from there.

At home on my local wifi I often access my PC using Remote Desktop. I'd like to safely be able to do the same thing from a phone or external PC. I'm under the impression that the best way to do this was with a VPN but the precise what and how eludes me. My best current guess is to setup a VPN Server on my wifi router but does that mean any generic VPN software I install on my phone can get through? I'm really just guessing but possibly this will accomplish both things I'm trying to do.

Additionally I could also setup a VPN Client on the wifi router which would provide VPN protection to any device logged onto my lan without having to install anything on every tablet in my household.

Added to this is that I've used Kaspersky antivirus for over 20 years on my pc's and VPN just became free with the package so I've used the 3 licenses I get on my PC and my and my wife's phones. Hopefully I can use my Kaspersky VPN to access the DDNS that I got free from ASUS to complete the circle.

It should be clear from this discussion that I'm grasping at straws, I've googled a bunch of confusing and potentially conflicting information along with everybody and his brother that wants to sell something VPN related.

I'm also posting this on the Windows 10 Help forum as here and there is where I get most of my technical advice.
[General Questions and Answers] James_Watson:
As far as I know, there are many models of home router with built-in VPN server capabilities. Check your router's manual at first.
[General Questions and Answers] Mumblefratz:
I'm goimg forward on the basis that all I need to do what I want is the Router's built-in server, along with an Asus provided DDNS, to allow VPN connection from my outside devices and the Router's built-in VPN Client to give VPN protection to all devices within my local wifi. I bought the router with this capability in mind as well as speed improvements over my old router. It's the Asus RT-AC86U router and it "should" do the above as well as allow externally connected devices to act as if originating from my home system.

It may take me a bit to do this but I'll report back once I have an answer.

Thanks for the response. I looked at a number of how to guides, the one I'm going forward with is how-to-easily-access-your-home-network-from-anywhere.
[General Questions and Answers] Mumblefratz:
I have an issue with setting up the VPN Server Client on my router (Asus RT-AC86U) that I have a service call in with Asus for, so the VPN Client side is on hold for a bit.

I was able to successfully configure the VPN Server (at least the OpenVPN protocol section) and setup a DDNS. From what I read this should be sufficient to allow an external device to login to my home system but I've seen no guide that describes this final step.

Do I simply use Remote Desktop on the external device to logon to my PC through the DDNS while the VPN (in OpenVPN protocol in this case) is enabled?

That would mostly work but what I really would like would be for the external device appear to be on my local wifi and not on the local PC itself. How do I do that?

Can anyone point me in the correct direction?
[General Questions and Answers] Mumblefratz:
I did just find another piece of information the may apply here. In one of the guides I read the following:

"save the OpenVPN configuration file which will be used by the remote device to access your router."

There was a client.ovpn file generated during the router's VPN Server setup. The above sentance implies that I need to somehow get the VPN software on the external device to use this file and then I'll be able to logon to my home system. Can anyone shed more light on this?
[General Questions and Answers] Mumblefratz:
*** Update ***

I was able to setup the OpenVPN Server on my ASUS RT-AC86U router and it does allow me to safely access my home LAN from anywhere. I can login to my home router's user interface and use Remote Desktop to login to my PC. Also since the VPN changes my IP address to that of my home system everything works as it would if I was actually there.

The one thing I haven't been able to do is access my pc's shared drive.

Anyone have any clue how to fix that?

Finally I also tried to setup the VPN Client on the router to access the VPN Server. ASUS said you should be able to do that but it results in an IP conflict that their tech support hasn't yet solved.

The benefit of using the router's VPN client is that any device on my local wifi is automatically protected by a VPN without installing anything on the device. The point is somewhat moot since all each device needs is a free app and the config file created by the VPN Server.

I did look at setting up a VPN Server on my Win 10 PC, but it looked like too much work and too much chance of messing something up, to attempt.

June update is ready. Could not get the OTA to come down so I just sideloaded it. No issues. Over 2 gigs in size.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] wilberfan:
I thought you might be referring to the A13 QPR as well, but it doesn't look like it's updated yet...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Today's June update is the stable release of A13 QPR3. There are no more A13 QPR betas with today's stable release.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] wilberfan:
I'm used to getting Factory Images from here. Maybe it hasn't propagated yet.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
That's the A13 QPR beta page. As I stated earlier, the A13 QPR beta program has ended with today's stable release of QPR3, so that page won't be updating and will probably be removed in the near future.

If you want today's release, go here.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] wilberfan:
Noobs are so annoying. :sneaky: Thanks for the clarification!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] lesafijndt:
Installed it but however all the new features are missing for me, interesting.

No new wallpapers, palm selfies, all the same as before.

The settings say I'm on 5th of June update.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] WingedCow:
Yep, same here.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] xunholyx:
Not exactly true, but mostly. There should be a QPR beta for the next quarterly drop soon, QPR4. Maybe tomorrow.

Hard to say for sure though. QPR betas are new with A13
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] lesafijndt:
Google at it's finest, hopefully someone will figure it out
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
I believe the next quarterly drop would be QPR0, as they are numbered 0-3, with 3 being the last quarterly update for the particular OS version. The next QPR stable update, QPR0, should be for stable A14. At least I believe that's how it was for A12 QPRs and QPR betas. I don't believe there's any more QPR testing to do for A13.

But hey, wouldn't be the first time my memory let me down 🙃
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] xunholyx:
Well it is June, and in three months September, so you're probably right. Also, I never realized that the first QPR beta wasn't numbered until you mentioned it here. It's something I never noticed

EDIT: I guess it's time to jump on the beta 14 bug train lol. I'm running it in my P5 and haven't had any major bugs so far with that. Hopefully I have the same with my 7 Pro
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
I believe some apps need to be updated for some of the new features to work. For example, I think think the camera needs to be updated to version 8.9 for the palm thing to work. Same goes for the emoji wallpapers. I believe the Emoji Workshop Wallpaper app needs to be installed or updated.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] lesafijndt:
Was actually hoping for this to be true as I had multiple google services updates available, but however even after updating and restarting the phone nothing changed.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
I wasn't talking about Google Play Services update. I was talking about specific app updates as I mentioned above, like needing Google Camera 8.9 for the Palm Timer and Macro Focus video.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] WingedCow:
So after updating all the apps Pixel 6 Pro is working, the 7 pro is not.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
What exactly is not working on your Pixel 7 Pro? You updated the camera and Emoji Workshop Wallpaper app as I mentioned above? Also, some of the features may also require a server side update.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] WingedCow:
Cinematic wallpaper and emoji not working, macro video not working. Lost the clear all notification button on the 7 Pro too. Both phones went through the same update steps, flash phone, check play store few times and update all apps.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
So you updated Emoji Workshop Wallpaper app (to 1.0.536421669) and Google Camera (to 8.9)? Then I can't answer why Emoji Wallpaper and Macro Video aren't working for you. Cinematic Wallpaper needs a server side update, I believe.

I haven't received the update to Google Camera yet but I did get the Emoji Workshop Wallpaper app update and have those emoji wallpapers in the Wallpaper & Style section.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] ShadowJP88:
I've got those apps but can't find out how to set a cinematic wallpaper... Guess is activated server side...

I've got no updat available anywhere...

So? Did it finish? It's your Pixel "better" now?
[Google Pixel 7] gerhard_wa:
I have never had a phone that takes this long to download, install and optimize a monthly update! This was a “feature” update, but the previous one also took around two hours. And this was over 500 mbps wifi.

Is this the price to pay for having done away with the cache partition and the download and patch is made directly to the working partition? Or did it take the same ridiculously long time with Pixel phones when a cache partition was in use?

As you probably can tell I am new to Pixels and in awe over the slowly moving scale. As I bought the P7 in the end of April I was certain the phone had crashed and frozen during update, but I forced myself to leave the phone alone and was really surprised when it at last was ready!

A real warning would not have been in the way instead of the lacklustre message that the update could take some time.

Stock System Update = 2 hours

Downloading OTA image file and manually flashing (PixelFlasher or sideload in Recovery Mode) = less than 20 minutes

Hell...with an unlocked bootloader, the non-OTA Full Factory image takes less than 20 minutes when manually flashing in CMD

Stock System Update < sideloading/PixelFlasher
[Google Pixel 7] t-ryder:
I updated the factory image for June on my Pixel 7 in 134 seconds using Pixel Flasher. Full device backup (apps/app data/data), using Pixel Flasher to update and re-root, flashing custom kernel in FKM... on my Ryzen 3900X machine with M.2 SSDs it's all together like 15 min. for me. Since having the Pixel 7 I tested real OTA like once, and it took hours. Bananas.
[Google Pixel 7] ldeveraux:
Does this update fix the AVRCP issues with this phone's bluetooth?
[Google Pixel 7] simplepinoi177:
exactly...

honestly...most of that "under 20 minutes" stuff is downloading the 2.6GB image, extracting it, copying it over to the platform-tools folder....

and that's me doing everything manually; i've never used PixelFlasher, but I imagine badabing2003 streamlined it so the GUI/program just points to the image files than needing it to be in the same folder....

Before I convinced my wife to allow me to root her P7P, I did the real OTA once with it and it was nails on a chalkboard as I was manually flashing my rooted P7P -- again, not that one needs a rooted device to sideload an OTA; which is still considerably faster than using the stock System Update...
