[Redmi 7A Questions & Answers] xXx yYy:
AFAIK the phone comes in two storage variants: 16GB and 32GB. It is true that your Redmi 7A might be showing as full even though you only have 7GB of files because the remaining space is likely being taken up by the system partition. With only 7GB of user data, the remaining space might seem full if you have the 16GB version.

Here's a breakdown of what could be using the space:

Operating System: The Android operating system itself takes up a significant amount of space, typically around 5-7GB on the Redmi 7A.

Pre-installed Apps: Many phone manufacturers, including Xiaomi, pre-install various apps on their devices. These apps can take up additional storage space.

Temporary Files: During daily usage, your phone generates temporary files like app caches and logs. These files accumulate over time and can contribute to the "full" storage message.

Here are some methods to check and potentially free up space on your Redmi 7A:

Check storage usage: Go to your phone's settings and search for "Storage" or "Storage cleaner." This will show you a breakdown of how your storage space is being used by different categories like apps, photos, videos, and system data.

Identify large files: Look for apps, photos, and videos that are taking up a significant amount of space. You can uninstall unused apps, transfer large media files to a computer or cloud storage, and delete unnecessary photos and videos.

Clear app cache: Many apps store temporary data in their cache, which can accumulate over time. Clearing the cache of these apps can help free up some space. You can usually do this from the app settings in your phone's Settings menu.

Move apps to SD card (if applicable): Because your Redmi 7A has a MicroSD card slot, you can try to move some apps to the SD card to free up internal storage space. However, keep in mind that apps on the SD card might run slower than those on the internal storage.

Remember, even after freeing up space, the system files will still occupy a portion of your storage. This is unavoidable, but by following these tips, you can maximize the available space for your own files and apps.

[Android Head-Units] anonymousbr1986:
Hello, here I am asking for help to try to make some settings on my Tesla-style multimedia center! First I'll leave you with the specifications of the car, a Ford Focus SE Automatic 2.0 16V 2016/2016, from the factory it comes with a reverse sensor and sync 1 which only shows the radar of the sensors, in the control unit the controls on the steering wheel work except the voice command which there was with sync1, nor with sync in the new center nor with virtual assistants like Google or Siri! CarPlay and Android Auto work ok wirelessly, when you put it in reverse it shows the camera, purchased separately because the one that came with it was damaged, but the radar that appears in the image of the reverse sensor doesn't work, they beep but the color doesn't turn green , yellow, red, with only the audible warning. There are also no dynamic lines when turning the electric steering, the guide lines do not change the trajectory, remaining straight. I put the gps app offline Igo, the sound is very good and I even use the Torque Pro app at the center to use with the OBDII adapter to read the car's parameters and to search for error codes, if anyone has the complete list of codes and the meaning I would appreciate. Well, that's it in principle and I would like to thank you in advance for any help you give me.View attachment 6075503

[OnePlus 11] H4X0R46:
Hey guys, I'm asking this here cause I can't find any information on this. So the Touchtunes app refuses to run on my rooted OnePlus 11 and I don't get why? Even after hiding it with magisk deny list and fully passing safetynet, the app doesn't launch.

I've unrooted my phone by flashing a stock init_boot.img and it WORKS, after rooting? Nothing. Any ideas?

It gets stuck in this screen, I'll attach it.
[OnePlus 11] Reverend Pain:
Do you have Adaway or another ad blocker installed? I had to whitelist a few domains for it to work for me.
[OnePlus 11] H4X0R46:
OMG I feel like an idiot 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ THAT was it. I use AdAway. Do you by chance know which domains you whitelisted?

But yeah that was the issue! Thanks!
[OnePlus 11] Reverend Pain:
Haha yeah it took me like 3 months to finally figure it out. The only domains I have whitelisted are:

I'm not sure which (maybe all) are for TouchTunes. You can find out by using the DNS request log feature in AdAway. That's how I did it.

[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
I'm currently using Karma Firewall to block apps from conecting to the internet unnecessarily. I see that the app gets closed (VPN is disabled) when I charge my phone. It happens sometime during the charging process. This is definitely Android doing it, as I have seen this happen on both my OnePlus phone (Andorid 13) and Samsung phone (Android 14). I guess the system tries to run a few things in the background (such as cloud syncing, checking for updates, collecting data, etc.) when the phone is charging, and if it is being blocked by a firewall app, it kils the app and its service.

Netguard manages to turn the VPN back on, but Karma Firewall doesn't. Please note the 'Always ON' option under VPN setting doesn't help.

Is there a way to disable internet access completely (both WiFi and Mobile Data must be turned OFF) when the VPN is disabled?

On my Samsung phone, if I try to do this via the Modes & Routines app, it won't let me do that for 3rd party VPN apps. It can only do that for VPNs added directly to Settings. I can't find the actual settings used by Karma Firewall or Netguard. Does anyone know what to input here:

[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
IIRC there isn't a native way in Android to automatically disable WiFi and Mobile Data when your VPN disconnects.

My recommendation: Use a VPN app with built-in kill switch

Many VPN providers offer apps with a feature called a "kill switch." When enabled, the kill switch automatically cuts off your internet connection entirely if the VPN connection drops. This prevents accidental data leaks from your device when not protected by the VPN.
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
I'm aware of there being no native way in Android to get this done. So this is possible only by using a 3rd party automation app like Macrodroid/ Tasker/ AutomateIt.

Killswitch is only available on real VPNs. I haven't seen one on firewall type VPNs. But that's exactly what I want to get done via automation.
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
For now, I have just setup Modes & Routines to turn OFF both WiFi and Mobile Data when I connect my phone to a charger. Not the ideal solution, but better than having my firewall being killed by Android and letting the OS and apps collect whatever data they like.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
You surely can achieve this by Monitoring VPN Connection: You can monitor general network connectivity changes using the ConnectivityManager class. This allows you to detect if the overall internet connection drops, which might indirectly indicate a VPN disconnect.

Here's an example Java script demonstrating monitoring general network connectivity changes using the ConnectivityManager class:

public class NetworkMonitor {

private Context context;
private ConnectivityManager connectivityManager;

public NetworkMonitor(Context context) {
this.context = context;
connectivityManager = (ConnectivityManager) context.getSystemService(Context.CONNECTIVITY_SERVICE);
}

public void startMonitoring() {
NetworkCallback networkCallback = new NetworkCallback() {
@Override
public void onAvailable(Network network) {
// Network connection is available
Log.d("NetworkMonitor", "Network connection available");
}

@Override
public void onUnavailable() {
// Network connection lost (might indicate VPN disconnect)
Log.d("NetworkMonitor", "Network connection lost");
// You can add logic here to display a notification or take other actions
}
};
connectivityManager.registerNetworkCallback(ConnectivityManager.TYPE_ALL, networkCallback);
}

public void stopMonitoring() {
connectivityManager.unregisterNetworkCallback(networkCallback);
}
}

A Firewall and a VPN are totally different things, AFAIK:

Think of a

firewall as a security guard at your door, controlling who and what comes in and out.

VPN as a secure tunnel, shielding your conversations and activities from anyone outside the tunnel.
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
How does one get the system to do something when a change is detected?

Yes, they are. Using the VPN route to redirect traffic to localhost is what Firewall type apps use to block apps from connecting to the internet. There is no other way to get this done on non-rooted devices.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
You have to run a script / executable that performs the action desired.

Take note that disabling Wi-Fi and Mobile Data directly through a script on a non-rooted Android device is generally not possible due to security restrictions.
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
It is possible if WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permission is granted via ADB, and/ or a helper app targeting an older SDK is installed.

So the only requirement is to be able to detect when VPN is disabled, in this case VPN enabled by a 3rd party app.
[General Questions and Answers] ballzak:
Any automation app should be able to perform such tasks, try Automate (free) with a flowchart like:

Flow beginning

Data network default: Network capabilities=Not VPN

Wi-Fi set state: disable

Mobile data set state: disable

(loop back to #2)

Ensure to setup an "Privileged service start method" in Automate setting, e.g. "Android Debug Bridge" unless your device is rooted.

[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Yes, the command

adb shell "pm grant WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS permission <package-name>"

does not require root access on devices running Android 11 (API level 30) and above . While you don't need root access, this command won't work on all Android versions or devices. Certain manufacturers and custom ROMs might have additional restrictions in place that prevent granting this permission through ADB.
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
This here:

I'm looking for a way that detects VPN managed by 3rd party apps getting disabled.

Which devices or OEMs are you talking about? I'm unaware of such additional restrictions. It works on my devices (Android 13 and 14).
[General Questions and Answers] lm8lm8:
i think proton and others services providers, even wireguard tool, provide a killswitch feature, which is normally enough, right? :)
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
I'm referring to Firewall type VPNs like Karma Firewall, Netguard and others that do not have a killswitch.
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
View attachment 6075842

Block connections without VPN: This is the killswitch.

Unfortunately, this cannot be enabled in case of Firewall type VPNs because then nothing would connect to the internet, i.e. internet would be blocked for all apps.

Apps that are allowed in Firewall VPNs are those that are allowed to bypass it. If this setting is enabled, Android will block apps that are allowed in the firewall, with the net result being no app will be unable to connect to the internet, i.e. in this case, apps disallowed will be blocked by the firewall and those allowed by the firewall will be blocked by Android.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Neither Karma FW nor NetGuard are VPNs: they are firewalls.

Key differences between VPNs and Firewalls:

Feature	VPN	Firewall
Primary purpose	Encrypts your internet traffic and routes it through a remote server	Controls which apps can access the internet
Encryption	Encrypts all internet traffic	Does not encrypt traffic
Location masking	Masks your real IP address	Does not mask your IP address
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
Sir, I fully understand the difference between a Firewall and a VPN. I don't know why you think otherwise.

I already made that known to you earlier:
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Obviously NOT as this thread's title shows

View attachment 6075850
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
Firewall apps create a local VPN to redirect traffic from apps you want blocked. Unlike regular VPNs that direct this traffic to the web, these apps direct traffic to localhost, which effectively blocks apps from connecting to the internet.

Are you saying they are not creating a VPN? What is your understanding of how these apps work?
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
IMO a firewall app uses the Android's VPN framework but doesn't establish an actual encrypted tunnel or change your location. It simply utilizes the system's functionalities to control and filter network traffic based on its defined rules.

Firewall apps do not create a VPN in the traditional sense.

BTW:

Here example of an ADB command that checks for KarmaFW is running or not:

adb shell "dumpsys notification | grep -E '"text\":.*\"KarmaFW\"'"

This command retrieves notification information using dumpsys and filters the output using grep to search for lines containing "text" followed by any characters, then "KarmaFW".

THESE WERE MY LAST 2 CENTS HERE.
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
It doesn't matter if the VPN created by Firewall apps are VPNs in the traditional sense. The fact is they do use Android's VPN framework to create a VPN to redirect traffic. It doesn't matter whether this traffic is encrypted, is for geo-unlocking purpose, or whatever else. The idea is to redirect traffic, and that is what these apps do.

Thank you for your contribution. I appreciate it.

When the AOD mode is turned on, the screen does not go off completely. In the photos taken by the phone, this problem is very pronounced, in fact, the shade is less pronounced. But due to the fact that in the mode, the AOD display is active throughout its entire area, and not only where the watch is, the battery consumption of the fitness bracelet is insane.

[Samsung Galaxy Fit3] Vidok08:
The specifications of the fit 3 indicate that it has an Amoled screen
[Samsung Galaxy Fit3] CurlyBlonde:
Yes, it should be an AMOLED display however your unit seems faulty, given that you're in the 14days-FreeReturns policy , I suggest you send it back and ask for a new one , assuming that you got it online , instead of trying to troubleshoot the problem, given that it's a new device on the market, not in a lot of hands of tinkerers that could help you figure it out.
[Samsung Galaxy Fit3] Vidok08:
This is a massive problem. The photo shows devices from different people
[Samsung Galaxy Fit3] CurlyBlonde:
You mean that it's not just on your device ?

Maybe they have a bad batch that they managed to send over there in your country ?

Either way, it's not wise to keep the device since you get free return and replacement in the 14 days period, and until the device is adopted by more buyers that open it, disassemble it and tinker with it and mod it, you're out of luck, so return it, multiple times if needed, until they send you a perfectly functional one.
