Database Develop

Settings-> More->Vpn "+" missing

i reinstalled the good old reliable R1HDzenui.zip rom which has always worked well for me on the Blu R1 HD. i downloaded it from a link provided by "vampirefohttps://forum.xda-developers.com/r1-hd/development/custom-rom-r1hd-zen-ui-t3473593" on this forum. It generally works fine but I can't add a vpn. I am looking for a way of adding the built in vpn that comes with android marshmallow. I would like to use it with Linphone to make sip calls though an asterisk pbx to save my cell minutes. It seems that I was able to do this previously with this rom. Maybe it needs to reenabled. Reinstalled?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks!

I just looked at vpn setting on v8.7 and when I click the + to add a connection I got a pop up message telling me that I need to set screen lock before I can add a vpn connection, so maybe you can try to set your lock screen first then try add vpn.

Nope. Thanks for the suggestion. I don't get the plus even after I do that.
When I press the 3 dots on the upper right., I get the option to select Always-on-VPN and a dialog box comes up that says Select VPN profile and .... with a radio button checked off with None as the option.

Thanks for your response. I bought a new R1HD and i was unable to unlock the bootloader so I returned it. Is it possible to hack the ones they are selling now? I used the SP....tool with the scatter text file. I am asking since you have done a lot of work with this phone.

The spflash tool method worked up to v6.5
Then needed to use dirty-cow method from 6.6 - 7.4.2
After that have not been able to do anything with v8.1 and above

Is is possible to add the vpn after the fact as a patch to the kernel or as a system application when the phone is rooted like mine is? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

From what I read in your post, you have created an 8.x (oreo)rom for this phone and installing that would solve the problem. The phone runs so well with 6.0 marshmallow, I'm hesitant to go through all the trouble of wiping it to upgrade it. It there a way of upgrading without doing a fresh install?

Volte is enabled but shows no hd icon on a call

Hello there,
My phone is unlocked and i could change my csc with a Thai sim by doing a factory reset.
After that i put my own sim card and have volte enabled and working.
However i do not see any hd call icon anymore. Is it because thai call app dont have or hd voice ia not there ?

So my unlocked S10e with T-Mobile USA sim card, didn't show HD Voice during call. Then I flashed my phone with T-Mobile firmware, now it does show HD+.
The HD+ icon is there when I call a person that has 5 year old phone(not compatible with HD voice) and I don't see any difference in voice quality. The only time I hear a difference in the voice quality when I try calling a user on T-Mobile with Note 9 for example.

The unlocked phones don't show the HD icon. The only way to check the used audio codec is to dial *#0011* before a call, fast switch to the dialer, place the call, and fast switch back to that menu. AMR:WB is the "HD" codec.
Some SIM's (providers) will hide that service menu. On my US version, I can unhide it with *#22745927 and the using 000000 for the MSL.

Best shot to make it work is flash the g973W firmware on your phone. The unbranded Canadian is XAC.
It works for t mobile USA.

The "HD Voice" icon is trademarked by GSMA. That's why you won't see them on Verizon.
And yes, looks like per their definition AMR-WB does not qualify, for a very ridiculous reason (see below). So Samsung, on unlocked devices, followed that guide.
Verizon, on their dedicated firmware, used HD to show AMD-WB in use.
https://www.gsma.com/futurenetworks/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/hd_voice_guide_v9_04_17.pdf
Excerpts:
The “HD Voice” and “HD Voice +” Logos are owned by the GSM Association (“Licensor”), a verein incorporated in Switzerland whose registered office is at GSMA Head Office, Floor 2, The Walbrook Building, 25 Walbrook, London, EC4N 8AF, UK.The GSMA acquired the ownership of the HD Voice logo from its creator, Hutchinson Whampoa with a view to licensing and administering it on behalf of the industry. HD Voice + logo was wholly developed by GSMA.Q2. What is the purpose of the logo?Mobile network operators agreed that multiple logos will confuse end users. It would be far better for the industry to support the notion of one HD Voice logo. Furthermore one logo, supported by the GSMA, has the potential to become a universally recognised symbol which easily identifies HD Voice enabled devices and services.The logo was designed to be suitable for the purpose of promoting & marketing HD Voice on an international basis. It was also designed to be capable of representation in different colours & languages where necessary.Q3. Is the logo registered & where?The HD Voice and HD Voice + Logos are registered s as International trade marks (WIPO). We have also filed various national registrations which are completed or in process as detailed in Schedule 1. We have limited budget for such activity, but will provide a list of countries where we intend to file once the process commences. Where Licensees wish for additional registrations to be filed, the GSMA will be willing undertake the work, providing the Licensee pays the costs, typically between £500-£3000 Pounds Sterling, depending on the market
Q6. Please confirm whether devices which are WB-AMR only qualify?Devices supporting WB-AMR only, even when codec is activated, will not be HD Voice compliant. There are 2 main reasons for this;i. A device which is just WB-AMR activated (without acoustics/VQE improvements) may not lead to any improvement of the calls audio quality for some time as the number of e2e WB-AMR calls is very limited initially. Users would be disappointed about the promise; i.e. it may ruin the whole HD Voice story.ii. The message to the end users must kept simple: devices are HD Voice compliant or not; introducing an intermediary level may confuse the message. I.e. one single logo, for HD voice labelled only devices.

Enable VoWifi+VoLTE on Oneplus 7T PRO

Hi guys, this is not my original work, but it was hard to find for our device, so i experimented with the guides available for the oneplus 7 pro and the following woks perfectly.
The reason i tried to find this is that most guides rnabled the VoLTE and VoWifi switches but only Volte worked this way (at least on my network).
Before following the guide, do a quick search in that thread and see what carrier profiles are recomended for your country/Provider.
For example for Cosmote greece, i used H3G Denmark commercial, not the Germany Vodafone recomended by the guide.
Just follow the instructions exactly and both VoLTE and VoWifi should work perfectly.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=81480319&postcount=513
I used this later version of the software (from the same source): https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=11410963190603864075
In case the *#801# does not work, you must download the Oneplus engineering apk and install it (google it) an then it will open up.
Lastly im not always active on the forums so i might not respond fast but if someone needs any help i ll try to help them.
Thanks to @virtyx @jamal2367 @sanke1 @everyone else i might forget for all their work and help on this matter.
P.S: If you want me to take down the drivers just ak me and i will.

awesome

Yes, works with all Oneplus devices.

I want to recommend another way, as the oneplus logkit method is only possible on OxygenOS
open up an adb shell
$ su
# setprop sys.usb.config diag,serial_cdev,serial_tty,rmnet_ipa,mass_storage,adb
and then proceed with the PDC tool
(you'll need root)

I am on Lineageos 17.1 microG
I have O2 carrier with volte and wifi calling, but it does not show up in Mobile net settings.
Do I have to go back to oos 10 to enable this and then reinstall Lineageos? (perhaps it is lost after update??)
Or is there a chance to get this done under lineageos?
Thank u for any help.
"EDIT"
After no respone... I reverted to stock rom Android 10. Did not work for me. I upgraded to OOS11, No Chance to get this done. Correct PSD and Drivers installed. I tried this several times. Downgraded and upgraded and so on.....
Ín the End, i don't give a **** on volte and Wifi calling. I reverted back to lineageos 17.1 microG hardened and thats it...

Well, I switched to Lineageos 18.1 Microg hardened from MSe1969.
My situation with the phone is weird. I updated to OOS 11 first and did the whole stuff with oemlogkit and with QPSD and PDC. I managed to change my Phone to AIS_Thailand_Commercial. With that, volte is working. It shows up under Lineageos 18.1 microg hardened with a HD signal during phonecalls. making Vowifi calls is only possible, if u enable under *#*#4636#*#* mobile strenght if phone is in flight mode. Then i am reachable too. But i have the situ, if 4G calls enabled and / or vowifi enabled, all incoming calls a stated with unknown caller ID. I have to untick 4G calls to see who is calling. But I am willing to work on this this week. The situation is weird in my eyes, because the phone can't get other brands from eurpoe enabled like H3G Denmark or Germany or or or.....
My phone is native european and i get only asian brands??? Well I guess perhaps i go once again back with msmflashtool and start all over again. I tested Chungwa:Tel;_Taiwan, Visble, FareastOne_Taiwan,MINL_BSNL,Taiwan_mobile_Commercial, Some work with only volte some can be changed but nothig works, If i use OOS all works normal. (Vowifi and Volte) But i 'll give it another try.
If There is someone out there (developer) who is able to enable *#*#4636#*#* mobile strength out of the box when thelephone is booting up, would help perhaps.

Okay, After playing around with back to OOS 10 and OOS11 afterwards, i managed to find out, that MTNL-BSNL works for me, even under Lineageos 18.1 hardened. But It took a lot of time and work with magisk and the setprop stuff with adb shell. I very often phoned myself with another phone to find out, wether i got rid of the "UNKNOWN CALLER ID"
stuff. Now, it works, but i have to activate vowifi under *#*#4636#*#* by hand. But i am contendened, it works.
Nevertheless there are no icons showing up for functionating volte or vowifi. I think tis is an aspect of developers implementing this into their rom.
Greetz, and all the best, Ray

Hello
I have the latest version available via OTA A_1.18.26 and Android Auto is not working.
Follow the bug when giving permission to floating windows preventing the installation of the app.
Through ADB you can give the permission and Android Auto works on the device but it has not yet managed to establish the connection with the vehicle.
I don't know if anyone has managed to make it work.

We are a little ahead but Android Auto still does not work and it is not certain that a patch will arrive.
I think the only hope would be to unlock the root and load the global rom with Funtouch OS

Good Morning
Can you explain how you made me connect with the car?
In the CN version with Origin OS, Jovi in Car was established, which is the Chinese alternative to Android Auto, but the latter still does not work.
There is no floating window permission that you can give by running ADB but the device freezes when connection with the vehicle is established.
Thanks

I actually have Funtouch OS running. So maybe this issue is OriginOS specific.
You should consider reaching out to them.

Android Auto works correctly in global versions with Funtouch OS.
Not the case for Chinese versions with Origin OS.
I think that for this and other problems the only solution is to flash global rom, although if to date it is not possible in pro +, I think it will be impossible in pro not + since the Chinese version has an exynos 1080 processor and four cameras behind including the periscope lens while the global version comes with snapdragon 870 and triple rear camera. Greetings

Hello, I have an Iqoo 5, before I had Funtouch but Origin os was updated, in funtouch it worked fine but now it doesn't, it occurred to me if for example you could force somehow to accept that window, I don't know if it can be done with SetEdit or some adb command.

It's officially confirmed that android auto app is discontinued

Question NFC in Realme 8?

So, i thought if the realme 8 has NFC or not and searched it in YouTube and found soume videos that show it has NFC but when i searched it in settings i could not find the freature, i thought first that it may be because the videos i watched had a deferent realme 8 variant from another country, but i wanted to see if i find anything in the settings from a shortcut app(shortcut apps sometimes show hidden settings) and found this

so when ever i open it it crashes can someone look into this and figure out if i can someone enable nfc.. sorry if my English is bad this is not my first language..

Initial question - have you uninstalled / disabled anything using ADB?
Enabling and disabling NFC is done with the quick settings toggle.
If you don't see this toggle, try using the EDIT button to see if the toggle is hidden and then bring it up into quick settings.
In the settings, NFC is located under "Connection & sharing"
If for whatever reason you don't see these, there is an issue with your device. I tried googling around and found no mention about Realme 8 not having NFC. Region-specific versions very rarely differ in NFC/WIFI/Bluetooth/GPS functionality, they mostly come with different bloatware and antennas.
I'm from Europe, so my European version came with minimal Realme bloatware and all of it could be uninstalled without needing to use ADB.
Also try uploading screenshots of the "About phone" tab, if someone more knowledgeable tries to help you, this info might be useful to them.

I have not uninstalled anything using adb, and my quick settings drawer does not have nfc -
as you can see, it's also not in the settings-
And the about phone as you asked
Also i am half sure can be just my imagination tho when i bought the fhone i think it was there. And my phone is the Indian version and in the comments of some how to turn on nfc in realme 8 videos some people have commented that they also don't have it -

I'm sorry about that. Realme website also has no mention of NFC on the indian version, but it does on my european version, along with more FDD-LTE supported bands.
Interestingly, the build number and hardware version are the same as my device, I would think atleast 1 of those would be different.
Also weird is that you can search for NFC and actually get results, to me it seems like the NFC chip is present, but is for whatever reason disabled on software level. If this would be true, rooting the device might allow you to enable it, but you would need someone way more knowledgeable than me to help you.

I'm sorry about that. Realme website also has no mention of NFC on the indian version, but it does on my european version, along with more FDD-LTE supported bands.
Interestingly, the build number and hardware version are the same as my device, I would think atleast 1 of those would be different.
Also weird is that you can search for NFC and actually get results, to me it seems like the NFC chip is present, but is for whatever reason disabled on software level.
