Guys I need some help from u. On market I saw one app 'Bluekeyboard JP' app where we can connect bluetooth keybord. I saw one vdo also on youtube. It shows that it really work flawlessly. I wanted to try it because I type daily lots of msgs to my gf. But its really annoying to use touchscreen ketbord. If a bluetooth keyboard works for me then really I will be very happy. But problem is that I don't have bluetooth keyboard to test it. I couldn't test it. So if anybody has blutooth keybord or mouse then please test it with mentioned app and report here.
Also I am frustrated with multitasking of our phone. I want to browse two heavy browsers opera & mozilla simultaneously but after sometime of the browser definitely get closed without my permision. I want that any app must be closed only if I permist to get close. I found one strange thing that nimbuzz messanger never get close. It gets closed when only we want to close it manually (i tested it). Can we have same thing in other apps also...?
Is there anybody who can help me...?
I have 1 but it has a USB port........so u say we don't need it by using software ....I'll try it after i reach home I'm out of station .......

No dude!
The app Does not work!
I had been to a store!
That fellow also had a Logitech.
I tested it there.
It does not recognize the keyboard.
Rather buy one in the "Local Bazaar"....Liek teh China Market type bazaar!
Those work I guess!
The Dealer himself said me to try those!

ya obviously buddy. I want one more help. Do u know any app or mod by which there should be automatic enable or disable data connection?? I mean to say in nokia phones its really easy to connect net just by launching opera & insert a site link. But in our android phone we have to first enable it before launching opera. Also when we have to close opera then even after that data connection stays connected. But in nokia when we close opera then automatically data connection also get disconnected. That is much reliable.
Umm...I will see!
Dont know much of Apps!
More into Android Core Development

I made a couple of searches and found that its known as Connection on Demand.
Though nothing found for our beloved Android OS.
I guess the best alternative for you would be to use some app to disconnect data connection when.screen is off and reconnect when you turn on screen.
As for Connection On Demand, didn't hit anything yet.
About BT Mouse and Keyboard, i dont have any, so.cant help you wth it.
I think juice defender does it......just configure the apps in it

Tasker works flawlessly, you set a rule that "if" app Opera opened then start data connection (you need another app APNdroid for toggle) then add exit task so when you close opera thedata will be off. It can also start data based on gps location or switch wifi based on ssid or location.........it has endless possibility.
Now coming to your sms typing problem, your GF will be happy to listen your voice so use inbuilt voice recorder in .amr attach the file via sms or email her............she would love it. (hope she has compatible phone else use .mp3)
If you still want text then use & practice sound typing, the inbuilt mike on keyboard does a good job after some practice. There is another app vlingo its very good for voice commands.
Typing is old method, be smart with your smartphone.......lol

hmm.n.n........Serious problems, but your mom may be proud of you that you love her so much that you have started sending voice messages lol.
Anyway tasker with the correct profile will do all your jobs, it can even call the "personal contact" at a specified time all you need is a profile setting.

its really working flawlessly. It has taken my 2 hours to actually understand whole app. But still unable to set only one thing. Now i have set profile in such way that when i open market then data connection will start automatically & when i close market then data connection will stop automatically. But here problem is if i want open another app by keeping on market then as soon i press home key to come to home screen then data connection gets off.
Means when market is actualy open on my screen only then data connection remain on otherwise it will go off. I want that even if i do multi tasking then data connection remain on. What setting should I do?
It has taken my 2 hours to actually understand whole app.

2hrs is nothing it took me almost 2 weeks to make my own working profile, tasker is quite a powerful app which can do a lot, its real potential is in scripting.

1 way to do it but I am not sure so best is to try it else ask this in tasker thread, there are already many built user profiles on tasker site they can be used or modified.
http://tasker.wikidot.com/profile-index
Multiselect all apps which you need data enabled, so as any one or more apps is opened data is enabled now don't have a usual exit task, instead make another task where "if" data mode not used for "set" time then "toggle" data. So lets say you set 5 min idle then it will switch off data after 5 min of non usage.
Just wondering why do you want to switch on & off data so frequently? Is your 3g sucking power or giving you huge bill?

my simple funda behind doing all these things is that i want internet functionality like nokia symbian phones where we dond have to turn on or off data again & again before or after doing our net relate work. It should completely automatically handle by phone.
I use docomo 4gb/month data plan for 94 rs. I download movies, vdos most of the time through ucbrowser. To download a movies it normally takes nearly 2 hours. So thats why i keep it running in background & do all other stuff like gaming, msg etc.
I set tasker profile in such a way that when I enter any net related app say ucweb then it will enable net. And when I exit (means completely closing of that app) then it will disable net.
But here funny problem is tasker consider 'exit' meaning as only going that app in background. So as per set profile it un-necessary disable net when i let ucweb run in backgroun.
I also tried as per ur suggestion. I set a timer say 15 min. But again same problem happens. Lets say my ucweb need approximately 2 hours to complete download a movie in background. Then obviously when i will let ucweb to run in background then as per timer tasker will wait for 15 min & after that it will turn off net without caring that ucweb still need net connection to download movie.
I want simple profile which will do only this
1. When i open net related app then 2g connection should on.
2. This 2g connection must run even that net related app go in background.
3. This 2g connection must turn off only when i exit from net related app (means complete closing of that app).
My requirement is very simple. Still i will try myself. U also help me
i am having an issue that i cannot figure out and i am hoping someone can help. i have a galaxy s6 through Bell and it is completely stock and i have not modified it in any way. i am having an issue where some apps, but not others, will not download data unless i am on wifi. i do have some apps that have background data restricted but i am having issues when the apps are in the foreground and are actively being used. i have checked to make sure that there are no data limits or restrictions blocking data, i have full lte signal and i have tried toggling between lte and 3g with the same results.
i have used the phone for 5 weeks at least and for the first 3 weeks all was good until this issue crept up and i had to do a hard reset. i started from scratch and reset the phone and all was good for another 2 weeks and now it is an issue again. as an example, i open the play store app and it loads up the icons and i can use lte and load all info and pics,etc, but when i try to download a new app or update an existing one it will indicate that it is trying to download but nothing happens. i can switch to the browser and it will open pages but when i switch back to the play store it says that background data is disabled when it is actually not.
today i have also had issues with google music where it will allow me to play radio stations over lte just fine sometimes and other times the icons will be greyed out and it will not allow the radio stream to open unless i switch to wifi. the settings are set up to allow me to stream over data, etc so it should be working.
i have had many android devices in the past and am usually able to figure this stuff out but i am stumped on this one. i tried searching and did not find anything. any help would be appreciated.

Did you check to see if power saver is set to on? Turn it off
If it's not that, check under settings > data usage and make sure "set mobile data limit" is OFF
Thanks but neither of those is the issue. Some apps will work while others will not. Gmail will get push email but I cannot download apps or stream music in play music. Frustrating
Disabling background data will simply stop the app using mobile data to do things in the background. I'd imagine the app recognises streaming as "background data".
I would turn off disable background data on the effected apps as the setting does not improve battery and has very little effect on data used.
I will try that and see. What confuses me is that the phone has been great for a few weeks and suddenly this issue comes back and I have not changed any settings from one day to the next
After I updated my sprint galaxy s6 edge to marshmallow OTA, VPN is not working for me. I have tried more than 5 different VPN apps, but none of them work. They say they are connected, but as soon as I switch to a new app, they stop working. VPN worked fine before I updated, but now it is not. Please help!

I've got this problem too, on chinese 9250
Go to Settings > More > VPN
Set up your VPN in there. I've set up VPN on my Galaxy S6 and S7 using L2TP IPSec with a signed certificate from GoDaddy.
I had it working on the S7 with a PSK also. Both phones are running Android v 6.0.1 Marshmallow.
It's strange but the VPN connection settings are different. My S6 is a Sprint phone, and I can't assign it a Certificate Authority. But the Verizon S7 won't let me save the VPN connection without a CA. I have to install the certificates in different ways for each phone as well. Very odd.
Anyway good luck.

Could you tell me how to do this please?
same problem for me Samsung s6 edge android 6..0.1 VPN apps work.... cyberghost / opera max/ and the rest .
PS after Zamber88 suggestion go to settings>> battery>app power saving > turn off for opera max or other vpn app.
PPS: if that is not enough do this: Settings >>Battery >> Battery Usage >> more (right up cornet button) >> Optimize battery usage >> select All apps and choose your VPN app and turn off .
also if in OPERA MAX when u use mobile data u get the error "enable background data " is because of the power saving.
CASE CLOSE !
That's a really strange issue. We did a lot of testing on MM with Nexus devices and everything works as intended. We even have a S6 Edge with MM that works fine (SM-G925F with one of the Unknown build listed on sammobile IIRC).
All I can come out with now is that you could try checking if there aren't any battery saving features interfering with the VPN apps.
Solved.
S6 edge.. disabled powersaving features. Vpns are working fine. Strange but cant figure out how powersaving is meddling with vpn. Solved.
Its not power saving . its restrict background data . just off the restrict background data and will work fine

I'm not sure if anyone can help me over here, but I'm not finding anything in the Nexus forums. Since @zamber88 did MM testing with Nexus, maybe you can help me with my Nexus 6. I have a 10 day trip to China coming up in a couple weeks and really need to get VPN working.
Google searches haven't helped, except to point me here. I have purchased VPN Unlimited and tried it with their app and an OpenVPN app. I got a free Galaxy J7 as a spare through the T-Mobile promotion a while back, and both apps work on it with no changes at all. Neither work on my Nexus 6, despite turning off power saving and restricting background data for both apps.
When I select a server, the J7 the Allow connection pops up, I OK it, and connect. On my Nexus 6, the refused to grant permission pops up. See the attached screenshots.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'll try to cover all of the bases from easiest to most cumbersome. Given you have some time on your hands this should helpful. Read through the list before doing anything and once you start doing stuff note it down as you're going so that we'll be able to pinpoint any other problems that could pop up. If you succeed then you'll have an answer pretty much ready for posting .
Reboot. Sometimes freshly installed VPN apps fail exactly like the screenshots show.
Try setting up a VPN connection with another app. Shameless plug: Opera Max, Opera VPN (note: there's an issue in Max which makes some VPNs disconnect after a couple of minutes so make sure to kill it before running any other VPNs).
Scan the device with Avast, AVG and Avira to rule out any worms.
Rule out any other apps interfering by booting into safe mode and try connecting again (with your app and, Opera Max for a sanity check).
If you don't want to commit to steps that will follow (or the step before this one succeeded) remove apps from least to most needed retesting with your app and Max after each uninstall.
Upgrade to Android Nugat. It shouldn't break anything and could potentially fix this issue. Either ways it's always a good idea to upgrade when updates are available. It's not like you're on iOS .
Now it's a god time to make a backup (frankly, anytime is good for a backup). If you went over with uninstalling apps making one will be easier. If you have root on your device you probably have TWRP, make a backup with it and download it to your PC. You could also make a Titanium backup if you're not big on setting up basic apps but it's optional. If you don't have root just backup all sensitive data (photos, videos, settings if it's possible to export these in-app). Also note down all apps you can't live without. Google Play has a history of installed apps but going through it is a pain and the "Copy settings from another device" option when setting up a fresh device is helpful but will not restore in-app settings. Also I would advise to not use it given that the culprit can sill be lurking in your apps.
MAKE THAT BACKUP, there's no going back from here . Do a factory reset. After that as mentioned before don't restore settings and set up a "new" device. Set up your accounts and check if both VPN apps work (they should by this point). Now start installing your basic app setup and after configuring each one make sure that the VPN still works.
If somehow this didn't help make sure you're not running a ROM that's botched by flashing the official system image (and upgrade to Nugat as a bonus). If you know what I'm talking about then you will know how to do it, if you don't know AND the issue still reproduces the there's something really strange going on.
By now you should have your issue solved, hopefully in the first three steps at most. There's one other thing to take into account. The great firewall does not like VPNs and there's a fair chance that Unlimited VPN will not work so be prepped to have a backup plan. You could try with Opera VPN (no idea if it works, not my project, would be nice to get feedback) and also get a trial for any service that looks interesting to you on this list.
Hope this helps and that you'll have a safe trip .
UPDATED minutes after posting:
One simple step I missed: reboot. In most cases it solves exactly the issue you're having. No idea why it happens but probably there's a 2y bug opened and tagged as low prio in the Android project .
Thanks for the quick reply!
1. Besides VPN Unlimited, I've already tried OpenVPN for Android and OpenVPN Connect. They both use .ovpn files from VPN Unlimited. I just installed Opera VPN and whether I swipe through the intro screens or skip them, I can't click on "GOT IT"; nothing happens. I think this might be the crux of the problem as some of the buttons in the other VPN apps don't respond either. I'm "almost" positive it's not a screen overlay problem because I used to use f.lux that did that, got rid of it, and haven't had any problems since.
2. I run Lookout Security & Antivirus and just scanned again to be sure. Nothing found.
3. I tried safe mode earlier, only to learn that you can't install or run any aftermarket apps.
4-7. Nougat hasn't been released yet and I'm too dependent on systemless root and Xposed, I'm still stock rooted on MM 6.0.1 with the September security update. I do run TWRP and Titanium Backup and make sure their backups are up to date before I try anything dangerous.
8. Unless you can think of why I can't click on "GOT IT" in Opera VPN, I guess my next step is to sideload the latest OTA again and try all of the VPNs before installing TWRP, SU, and Xposed. That's about all that's left.

1. Some of the buttons don't respond? What about Opera Max? Opera VPN is fairly new in the game and it still can have issues (though I haven't found any during the brief time I was testing how it works with Max). This sounds really strange. Does it happen in other apps?
2. Rerunning the same Antivirus app will not double the likelyhood of finding a thread . Try with Avast too. You can safely uninstall it after that.
3. What aftermarket apps you have in mind? APK's installed not from the Play Store? It shouldn't impact testing if Unlimited VPN works fine. All background stuff shouldn't run by definition in safe mode.
4-7. Nougat is released. After beta 4 they started releasing OTAs and images for the final release on the beta channel and now it's going to go global. There are factory images for Nexus 9 which I upgraded recently and we have a Nexus 6 but after checking it looks like got the OTA from the beta channel, so it will take a while for the official release to roll out to 6 (though 6P and 5X already have it). Also you're right, there's no systemless root for it yet. We're rolling standard SuperSU on test devices in the office (no need for Android Pay or banking apps there).
8. I'll reach out to the VPN guys for info on gathering debug information for this. Meanwhile try with Opera Max or even Betternet. Do these also fail to connect? Also does it reproduce on mobile and on WiFi?
Got a response from the VPN guys. Most probably your network blocks VPNs. Try pinging http://api.surfeasy.com/ from mobile and WiFi. If it doesn't go through then your network provider is blocking it. Probably it will be the same case for other VPNs. The issue is known and they'll probably add an error message in the next release .

I installed Opera Max and it was the only app that gave me a helpful error message, so thank you and the coders for that! The message said something like it couldn't establish a VPN connection due to an Xposed module. I disabled Xposed, rebooted, and all of my VPN apps worked. Further searching found this thread saying that Xposed's Immersive Mode was the cuprit. http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/help/vpn-to-t2850981
I re-enabled Xposed and disabled only Immersive Mode and VPN still works. Hopefully this will help others in this thread too.

I missed that you mentioned Xposed earlier. We implemented Xposed detection to prevent abuse so it's good to hear that it helped you to resolve your issue . Thanks forwarded to the developer behind it . Enjoy your trip!
Hi,
Wondering if anyone has run into the following issue with their Pixel. My phone is an international model (G-2PW4200) and I bought it exactly a month ago.
The issue is this: I seem to never be able to download any decent size file (e.g. a video on social media sites or apps like Facebook, YouTube, Whatsapp, etc., or to download any app on the Google Play store) via WiFi without the download getting "stuck" half way, sometimes not even at 10%. The download would get stuck indefinitely, and only resume once I disable WiFi and start downloading via LTE. Sometimes it also comes back if I just disable WiFi and enable it again. Another problem I have is that my phone seems to go offline when it's not being used for extended periods of time (that being in the 5-10 minute range given I look at it almost every 10 minutes) despite having WiFi during sleep set to be always on. I can tell this because when I try to log in to something like Whatsapp Web it complains that my phone is offline, and this is a problem that never happened with me with my previous phone in the same setting.
A few points to keep in mind:
1- I have "Keep WiFi on during Sleep" set to "Always"
2- This happens everywhere (at home, work, friends', public WiFi, etc.) so it's not related to just my router's setup, and it happens every single day and almost every single time.
4- System is "up to date" and I have the latest update installed (Android 7.1.1, build NOF26V)
3- I'm still able to browse web pages (via Chrome), and browse apps like Facebook, Whatsapp, etc. without getting interruptions or showing any signs of disconnect. It's only the above two issues that I see when downloading big chunks of data, and for some reason my phone appearing to be offline during sleep when it shouldn't be.
Any idea what may be wrong here and how I can fix this? I really would like to keep this phone, but this is really becoming frustrating.
Thanks.
Have you factory reset?

Yes. And ironically enough I ran into the same problem immediately while restoring my backup as the phone was trying to redownload the previously installed apps. It would get stuck not downloading anything but not complain about a lost connection until I disable WiFi and switch to cellular data.
This reminded me that the first time I ran into the problem was also the very first time I used the phone when also downloading my apps.

can you test your wifi performance with another device?
and also try some download manager like ADM and check download with it.

Given that this happens everywhere, not just with my home WiFi, I know the issue is specific to my Pixel. Unfortunately no one at work has a Pixel to try it, but all other devices connected to the same WiFi spots are fine.
I was told by someone that disabling LTE and sticking to 3G cellular data will fix my WiFi issues. Will be trying that at work today.
I'm looking into buying one of the LG OLED TVs but am not familiar with the WebOS app platform LG uses.
Is it possible to manually switch between country settings to install apps not available on a specific market? Can you somehow combine and run apps from different countries at the same time?
For example, is there a way to download Hulu from the US alongside the BBC iPlayer from the UK?
Yeah I want to know as well.
Since I can't watch the world up in 4k since I'm in US
if there is the will.
On an old LG TV I got something like that working.
I used a VPN to change my location. Then went to the TV settings ( somewhere like about tv or setup ) and have to change the location there. Then I could download and play stuffs out of region. When I changed back those apps didn't work or were gone. But switching back ( out of region ) the apps of that region showed back up.

Not possible on newer ones. I tried using VPN on router level so all my devices including the LG TV were showing the US as location (ip-score.com) including the LG TV Browser, however I couldn't install HULU, VUDU, etc. Restriction on my TV is actually the market it's made for, in this case UK and EU.
When I change location to SPAIN or some other country (no VPN needed) i get some extra apps, but originally I wanted HULU. Never succeeded.

Download AnyRemote app on your smart phone - Make sure your phone has IR Blaster function on it.
Select your LG TV remote and jump to EzAdjust - Service Menu will appear on your TV after you enter the Password: 0143
Then change the Area Code to 1793 for USA
Exit EzAdjust
Change Location to USA on the LG TV Settings Menu and the TV will Reboot
If you open the LG TV Content App, you will see the USA Apps for downloading Hulu & other required apps.
This will also have apps previously downloading running and working in addition to the new downloaded.
If you see that the Voice Accessibility has activated itself upon setting the Location as USA, please repeat the same steps above to re-set the Area Code back to the same old one, once you have finished downloading all the apps from the current (new) setting.
Please let me know if this helped

The above, with modifications, sort of works. It may not be a permanent solution. Here's what I did with my UK LG TV running Web OS 4.
1) The EZAdjust passcode is 0413, not 0143.
2) Take a note of your home region code. To change to the US, I changed the area code to 1843. You should see the region change to "US".
3) This is important - after changing the area code, open the LG app content store and accept the policy agreements.
4) Then change the Location from the LG Settings to the US. Deselect Automatic selection and manually select the US. This will bring up a dialogue box about needing to change the policy agreements and restart the TV by choosing "Yes". Go ahead and choose "Yes". Hopefully the location will switch to the US without restarting the TV. The reason this matters is that if the TV restarts, the Location reverts to "Others", which makes the content store a region-neutral store that does not have the US apps. Step 3, where you open the content store before changing the location, appears to prevent the TV from restarting. If the TV restarts anyway, open the content store again, then change the location to the US. Hopefully this won't result in a restart.
5) Now go back to the content store. When the store loads, you should have access to the US apps. You may get a "No content" message. Just hit ok and open the store again.
6) Do NOT change the region back to your home region using EZAdjust. Leave it on the US.
The problem with retaining permanent access to the US apps is that restarting the TV makes the location revert to "Others". Trying to access a US app after this happens will result in a message along the lines of "this app is no longer available from the service provider", and the TV will automatically delete the app. Perhaps ensuring that the Quick Startup option is on will help, as this puts the TV in standby mode when you turn it off. If the TV does restart and the location changes, you'll need to repeat steps 3) - 5). It may not be possible to prevent a restart at some point, unless you never turn the TV off.
Also bear in mind that even if you've installed a US app, you'll still need a DNS/VPN to actually use a streaming video service.
Anyone know if google assistant / alexa is an app that can be sideloaded into the TV.
I have the 43uk6200PCA which, in the US, has these apps out of the box?
Based on the online specs WebOS is 4.0 and has the same quad core processor.

Just signed up to say thanks for the detail walkthrough @Rooksx! It was spot on for me. I have a Japanese bought Oled C7p. Unfortunately, even in stand by mode, once I turn the tv off and on again, it deletes the US Vudu and Hulu apps which sucks. You have anymore luck?
Interestingly, all though the tv deletes many of the apps I download from other country stores, it does seem to keep a few on there. Even after turning the tv off and on at the wall, my Japanese lg still keeps BBC IPlayer, us sling tv and Australia’s Stan apps. Wonder why that is? Not complaining though.
Thanks again for the great walkthrough dude. Appreciated.

Glad to hear it's kinda worked. Have you definitely turned on Quick Startup? This seems to be the key for me as for a week now, my TV location has remained the US even after turning the TV off and on. Maybe check if there are any other options that could be more thoroughly shutting your TV's functions down.
No idea why some apps are retained. I was expecting BBC iPlayer to be automatically deleted when I changed location to the US but it still works fine. It does beg the question though of whether the app will update while my location is the US.
Just switched my OLED C7 TV to USA from UK and I cant get rid of the voice assistant (narrator) thing. I have to revert back to UK for it to go away but then the US apps stop working after a bit. Can anyone tell me if you have experienced it and if so if there is a way to tweak it? I really want to be able to use the hulu app.
Has anyone been able to successfully change to US, keep the apps running and not face the narrator issue?
I tried and i always get the narrator. I have a 75SK8000PTA WebOs 4.10.
Any reply highly appreciated.
I changed from tv menu content from lg store to UK, installed rakuten and YouTube Kids ( not aviable for my country), reverted back to others and app are still there after restart. Lg oled55b8.

Thanks, but I checked for that a million times, that option just wasn't there in C7 when set to USA. :/
I have a clear question if somebody could kindly answer;
Is it possible to change the Area Code to USA and edit the options so to set Broadcast country to another (e.g. Australia) and Services country to USA?
Could this be achieved via the continent index value?
Thank you,
John
Anyone?
This is an important step as it will allow to use your original country for broadcast services and hence you will get your DTV channels and then have the country of choice (USA) for the content services.
I tried with EZ_ADJ menu to change the continent item but couldn't edit the entry.
Could this be an In-Start menu item edit?
Thank you,
John
Corrupted OS due to Change in region
I happened to have switched my TV from UAE to UK then to USA. This seems to have made my location-> lg Services Country stuck on loading and thus nothing else seems to work on the TV is there a way to fix this. Does anyone have a firmware file they can share to reset this tv because even resetting tv to initial settings does not work. The IR blaster is unresponsive and thus cant set this manually. Any advice
Good afternoon,
Making change to the EEUU, could you install alexa in a Oled65C8-pla and switch back to europe (spain) being able to control the TV with alexa?
In Europe Oled65C8 does not have alexa but in the EEUU it does have...
Thanks
