How To: See phone custom name in router, instead of generic name - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

I remember a while back when people were asking how to see their Android phones name in their routers "Active" list, instead of something like this- android_75653hj3838746. It drove me nuts as well. Well, I was cruising our general section here and decided to read this post- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1577877 . I have already been planning to set my phones ip to static, and I have DD-WRT (Although I imagine it works the same on any router) so I went at it.
Once in the services tab, I added an entry to the static IP list. Put in my mac address, ip and then set the hostname to "Skyrocket". Now, in my active list it shows up as "Skyrocket" instead of the generic based identification name (android_blablablabla). I'll be doing this with all my droids now, so I can tell them apart without having to remember which mac addy is which. Hope someone finds this useful. IT was handy for me, considering you cant change the hostname of the Android device from the phone. I know it is not changing the actual hostname on the device, just in the router. But, thats all I wanted.

Tailoring GPS to your location

I managed to reliably reduce my fix time and accuracy by doing this. If you're getting horrible GPS performance, perhaps this is worth a shot.
1. Go to http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/NTPPoolServers
Click on your region's host from the table.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Click on the server for your location.
Note/copy the list of servers.
2. Open a command prompt and ping the servers, noting the one that gives the best results
Note the IP address for the fastest server.
The IP addresses change from time to time so you can repeat this step later if you don't find a good one.
3. Use the fasterfix app from market to change your NTP server
You need to have root access and busybox
Select custom and type in the IP address you noted in step 2
Of course this doesn't provide any redundancy i.e. if that particular server is down, you'll need to go in to fasterfix and just choose one of the general pools.
Also note that you're pinging from your computer and not your phone. Ideally you'd do it from your phone over your data connection but meh, either will use similar enough routes and we're only comparing response times among the servers.
Let me know how you guys go with this.
Anyone noticing a difference?

[Q] Facebook chat problem

I would suggest asking about it on the forum thread for your ROM.
Error 500, assuming that's coming from either the Facebook or Windows Live servers, just means "internal server error" and is about as generic an error message as a webserver can give. Really the only thing it tells you is that either your request was so incorrectly formed that the server experienced an internal exception (or similar) while trying to process it, *or* the server is down for some unrelated reason.
In the second case, it should be back within hours, at worst. In the first case, I'd expect other people with your ROM to have the same problem. I haven't heard of any other cases of that problem, so check around.
Thank you for your answer. The key was the connection of live id and facebook account. I had to do this on my live settings and now it working.

WebOS Parental Controls Bypass

If you've bought a used TV, and for whatever reason it has parental controls enabled, you might find this trick handy. (Or maybe you're a teenager who just wants to watch TV without your parents' permission!)
Tested on WebOS 5.0.10, presumably it also works for most earlier versions - please comment if you have success or failure with specific versions.
The trick:
As pointed out in this tweet, you can read almost any file in the filesystem by opening it in the web browser, with the URL prefix "view-source:file:///". If you navigate to "view-source:file:///var/luna/preferences/lock", you can view the sha256 hash of the pin code, like so:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I created a "rainbow table" of all 4-digit pincodes: https://gist.github.com/DavidBuchanan314/a684f91e9dec516acda8ece0c9f3db32
Simply Ctrl+F and search for the first 6 digits of your sha256 hash, and you should find the corresponding pin. e.g. in my case, I search for "ca9532", and find that my pin is "8695". If its not a 4-digit pin code, your best bet is either to build your own rainbow table/cracker, or paste the hash into an online sha256 cracking service.

Question JustTrustMe - SSL error using Charles Proxy

Hello,
I rooted my Samsung J3 2016 phone using an (unofficial) TWRP build and Magisk. I changed the ROM (resurrection remix), and installed Xposed. Then, I installed the JustTrustMe module. I started Charles on my computer (port 8888) and I connected my phone to it. I installed the Charles certificate at chls.pro and moved it to the system ones. After, I enabled SSL proxying for all the domains on Charles. And when I open a browser, the Google suggestions are showing up (when I type something, I see a lot of suggestions and the requests are successful in Charles). But when I click a suggestion, I get the following error:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
And the request is displayed like that on Charles:
Here is also a screenshot of suggestions (as you can see it works)
Does someone know what could the problem be? Thank you
I found something weird. My computer is connected to a wifi network (BOX-2). It has the local IP address 192.168.1.39. But when I go on Charles > Help > SSL Proxying > Install Charles Root Certificate on a Mobile Device, it shows the IP address 192.168.1.64....
Fixed - I used https://github.com/pengwei1024/JustTrustMe/releases/tag/V0.4 instead of https://github.com/Fuzion24/JustTrustMe/releases/tag/v.2... and it worked

Spyware?

Hello everyone.
I'm on a Motorola G6 plus, Android 9. There is this function, I am not sure if it's carrier based. Phone numbers that are not in my contacts, that call me or I call myself, often show names. For example, I never called number 555 1234, but when I do, it will say "Irish Harp pub", and usually the names are correct. Recently I called a cab service and it gave me the name for a completely different business (that I researched has a completely different number) and I was quite irritated. I was wondering about that function and if it has a certain name so I can do more research, I was already worried, if there is some sort of spyware on the phone, that listened in to my call, by taking it and then redirecting it to the number I originally dialed, but only after (accidently) showing the actual name of the number it was redirected to first.
Cheers
B.
I don't think it is some spyware. Maybe you have enabled a feature 'Online Yellow Pages'.
In addition to contacts you created, in 'Yellow Pages' there are some contacts maintained by your device manufacturer or your carrier.

Sound like Google malarkey. It's an app doing it.
It seems to have a lot of permissions...
One of the reasons I disabled all carrier bloatware except messages on my AT&T 10+
