Always on VPN? - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

I was hoping that the always on VPN would be fixed in the note 8 so I wouldn't have to use open VPN app. Anyone do this successfully yet?
I think we need android Oreo update to fix this bug. Any ideas when that may reach the n8te?

Chromecast discoverable just for Youtube?

Hey guys, I was wondering if somebody could give me a hand.
My chromecast ( bought yesterday ) just work with youtube and with the tab cast feature from chrome. I can't get it working with anything else because the cast icon don't appear on those apps, it's like it's not discoverable at all for those apps.
I've done several resets, no luck.
Maybe if I root it? I don't know.
Thanks.

Ok what device and ROM? (I ask about the rom because of your Sinless Sig)
Sounds like something is blocking the ports used to discover the units.
Either you have some security software blocking it, some network config disabled (UPnP, Multicast) or your device (and ROM) is messing with the works.
Can you see it on other devices? How about the Googlecast ext in Chrome?

Yes, I'm using GPE rom for the M7.
I can cast tabs from chrome without a problem.
I'll try to flash another, maybe a sense rom and see if that's the problem :/

I wouldn't go chasing roms as most would not change anything about the networking in most cases...Only a ROM overly obsessed with Privacy and Security would mess with those...
It is probably a networking issue or it could be that whatever your flashing does not have the latest Google Services installed that I believe is required for proper discovery...
But I would expect that to affect YouTube as well...

What make/model is your router?
Almost sounds like AP isolation is on, was it YouTube on phone/tablet, or YouTube in Chrome that worked?
FWIW, root won't change anything, and if you've been playing with it this long it's not rootable, and probably wasn't rootable to begin with anyway.
BubbleUPnP doesn't show a cast icon, you have to select the Chromecast as a renderer under the devices tab of the app.

Well I would notify the Devs that maintain the GPE ROM and let them know that they have a problem with their Networking most notably in regards to mDNS, UPnP or Port Blocking.
Explain what happened to you and see if they can reproduce it.

Possible solution to the H+ issue

Dear all,
I know so many of you have been suffering from this issue of H+ not working as it should on Oneplus 5, I myself have suffered a lot from that until I have started using "AdGuard Pro."
I would suggest you give it a try and report back.
Note that I am not making any marketing for this app, I just share the information with you as I know many have this H+ issue.
I am currently using OOS 4.5.13 with no mods at all.
I have also noticed my speed has almost doubled on H+ now.
I hope that I am not just lucky, I hope it works for you as well.

AdGuard. Here's the link https://www.google.ht/url?sa=t&sour...0Q5YQBCDgwAA&usg=AOvVaw0iw7jR6tG8_GujChWEPpwi
Missleading. PlayStore version of AdGuard are restricted to only Yandex Browser and Samsung Internet browser. Full version cannot be downloaded from PlayStore (adblockers are restricted by Google).
Full version is available at adguard.com
Sounds like you have DNS issues.
Have you tried one of the DNS changers to see if it fixes it? Google's is ok
Somehow with the help of a dns changer app i'm not facing any h+ issues
I hope that this is the solution

I'm testing, I'll tell you if it works
And I want to add that the common point between adguard and the "DNS changer " app is that those two apps create a local VPN connection :see the "key" symbol in my screen shot. It means that a local VPN connection is running.
Maybe it means that having a local VPN running solves the issue with 3g/H+

Both installing from backup or APK lead to an error when opening LzPlay. It just shows a single blue button and closes when you press it. I think the error is about the device not being supported, but the translation is really bad.
Firlando,
I have a successful GMS installation. Of course push notification doesn't work well. If I follow your approach of disabling GSF (not reinstalling), will that fix the push problem? If I re-enable GSF late on, will it bring errors back to GMS? Thanks!

The second "yes" means that if re-enabling GSF, then GMS will pop errors, which I currently don't have before "disabling GSF", right? Thanks for helping!
Hello community, I have manage around 2 weeks ago to get working the Google services on my p40Pro. What I would like is to have the push notifications working even if the playstore doesn't work. Is there any options out there on this?
I saw new guides out there but they seem to start where the device doesn't have the GMS on it.
Would please anyone guide me on this journey? I am a bit confused and dont want to mess up what I have at the moment on my phone.
Thank you .

Open and use/play all apps which are gps dependent. Maps, online transportation etc. After a couples hours then i disabled my gsf. My gps still work fine until now. it's been 6 days now

Double check something if Google play services have location permission granted
Hey, everything was working out for me, I had to enable GFS for maps that I need it. Now I went back home and start receiving notifications of error that my phone is not certified and it could not log in to all my Gmail accounts...
What can I do now? What would be the best way to fix this.?
Thank you in advise

Is Google forcing an update from Android Auto 6.4?

I use Screen2Auto on an unrooted phone which only seems to work on AA 6.4 or earlier.
Some people have commented that they are being forced to update AA to 6.5.
I had a notification that said something about a required update to AA. I tried to read it but it just took me to the AA update page in the PlayStore.
Are some people being forced to update AA?

I was forced to update now I'm trying to find a workaround.
Yes.
Do not proceed, un-install the latest update of Google Play Services.
If already installed the AA update, so remove the update of play services and re-install the old version of AA from April.
All good.
I uninstalled the latest update of Google Play Services and rolled back Android Auto to version 6.3, but Android Auto will not work unless you hit the update button.
it's not that I'm sitting here wearing a tin foil hat or anything.. but I think we should discuss workaround methods in private messages. Google obviously has some form of eyes watching these forums because everytime a workaround is discussed it magically gets patched not soon after.
Dear friend, you have news? ... I will have to take a long drive with my son. Can you help me?
forced to update..6.5.612134

So far, my Galaxy S7 (G930V) on Android 8 is still working with Android Auto 6.4.
I've gotten notifications that I will need to update soon but they haven't cut me off yet.

I also have a non-root Galaxy S7 (G930V) on Android 8. Uninstalled AA last year as I've been screen mirroring using USB to my BMW MMI (no touch screen). If I now install AA (6.5 from Play Store), then I won't be able to install S2A with AAAD at this point? Should I try to find and load AA 6.4 and attempt the S2A install or wait to see if they'll be an update to S2A and AAAD that works with AA 6.5?

I was incorrect about the Android Auto version on my non-rooted G930V. I'm actually on version 6.3.611324.
I couldn't get my phone to work with AAAD. I installed S2A using ADB per the Automatic method instructions on the inceptive.ru website:

One question about this: does it download app data afterwards during your drive?
Additional question: can you also clear data and cache after being connected to Android Auto? I would prefer a Tasker task to do this for me. The idea is to clear data and cache as soon as I get connected to Android Auto.

Is your tinfoil hat borken? If so, just use the AM/FM radio or cassette player. If you want "free" from Google, you have to pay. Seriously, they make money by trying to target advertising at you.
What do you want to say me?
Tasker is an app which can automize things. For example it can automize the clearing of cache and data.
I wanted to clear data and cache automated so that I don't have to do all the clicks by myself.
I just want to know if I have to program the task to clear data and cache every day or everytime I connect to Android Auto...

Question Android 12 Beta - Carrier Device Manager requests are processing

I'm using the Android 12 Beta 2 on a T-Mobile Samsung 21 Ultra and I keep getting the Carrier Device Manager requests are processing message constantly. In addition, I tried to use the eSIM feature and lost signal 2 mins after setting up. Had to go get a physical SIM to get service. I have reset the phone to factory settings and the error is still there. suggestions?
Same here.
It is already reported on the Samsung Members Android 12 beta forum. Apparently this is something T-Mobile needs to fix.
Ok, I have a theory, but I'd need someone on Android 10 or beta 1 to verify for me. If you're not on beta 2, could you check if Carrier Hub notifications are off by default? I think they accidentally just left it default on in this build.
