Some app named System tries to connect various IPs...need help in figuring it out - General Questions and Answers

I got a Moto G phone running Oreo. I have a firewall installed, and its logs show an app with the name "System" trying to connect to various AWS hosted addresses. The phone is not rooted. I am trying to find out which process this System actually is, and what is its purpose. I am trying to somehow capture some traffic and find something.
If anyone knows what exactly this is and whether I should be worried or not, please let me know.
Here are some of them:

I found some more information using logcat:
[ 10-19 17:12:33.467 1229: 1309 E/LocSvc_xtra2 ]
connect:204] connect to 54.230.93.211 failed
This is one of the IPs that System process is trying to connect. Some googling tells that this is Location Service being used probably. I have GPS turned off completely when I don't need it. I have also given access to GPS only to OpenMaps application which isn't running at the moment. All google apps are in disabled state.
I also noticed that these connection attempts happen every 5-6 minutes.
I cannot use strace as don't have root. I am trying to route the traffic from the phone through my PC to be able to capture network traffic.

can't tether - please help indentify the problem

Hi all,
Im having problems with tethering with my sensation and it is frustrating me. I've tried it with 2 laptops and also with my desktop and still no success. The wireless devices do recognize the phone with no issue and showing me full reception, but yet i cant browse and it seems something is blocking it.. is it something that has to do with the phone or is it that my cell provider blocking it?
here is a picture to demonstrate the problem. As you can see, the phone is identified with full reception and telling me it is connected, but theres the yellow mark which indicate a problem and it says "no internet access" although i am connected.
It is like that with every device i try to tether

P.S
If it matters, then im using the Eleganicia sense 4 rom although this problem also happened with sense 3.6 roms as well
shame there are no replies as i'm having the same problem. it also happens with bluetooth tethering. All connects/pairs fine but no internet. I have mainly been trying to use this with my Nexus 7 for when i'm out and about. If it helps, i'm with Orange UK.
Any help would be appreciated!
Hi,
In order to set up tethering,I went to settings/more/tethering & portable hotspot/portable WiFi hotspot settings/ and then set my password and SSID
Turn on hotspot and mobile data,find my device,connected using the password,and everything worked.
Not sure if you missed any of those steps.

WiFive
Wi-Fi chat
Let the social be with you.
Launch WiFive application and immediately start chatting with whose who is using it too within your Wi-Fi network. No Internet needed. Also, there is no need to set up a server. Simple, eh?
But of cause there are some conditions.
In order to receive messages your device should not ignore broadcast UPD packets (as long as I know some devices are doing it, for example HTC)
Your Wi-Fi network should not block UPD packets (as long as I know some network managers are doing it). But it's OK if you are creating Wi-Fi Spot yourself. Google it, it's pretty straightforward.
Also, be aware of some possible message loss.
Have fun with unlimited communication!
Application is also available in Google Play.

I believe you can't make that open source..?
Hi your application is exactly what I need. I want to built a rover controlled by an arduino that is connected via usb to the first android phone. With the second one I want to send the control data (speed, direction). I've already implemented the control of the arduino and i can stream the video to my controller application. Your application would be the perfect way for exchanging the control variables between my phones.
If you could post the source code it would really help me a lot!

How to see the devices that are connected to my hotspot in Android device?

So, I've been looking all over the internet for 2 years (approx.) from time to time for this query.
My device: I have a Motorola X(4) device which came with near stock Android.
My question: how can I see who is connected to my hotspot.
What have I tried so far: I see apps in playstore for scanning Wi-Fi and not what I want (which is to see devices connected to hotspot). I've search for web with no helpful answer, everyone seems to confuse about Wi-Fi scanner. I don't want a Wi-Fi scanner
In few answers I see people showing steps to do this, but I don't see the last option 'View Who is Connected' in my device. I have attached screenshots for reference.

Hi there,
Although motorola is close to stock Android, they have the annoying manner of removing very little, yet useful features like that. You're supposed to have a menu to see what device are connected, like me (I'm using OxygenOS, and even with their "overlay" they left the feature).
Unfortunately I don't know how to help you on this one. When I had a motorola (Moto E 2015 LTE) it didn't have the "enable wireless display" option for screen casting m. I've search a long time, and finally found out about that annoying manner motorola has. The solution was to modify one or two line in the build.prop file.
Hope you'll find out one day

Strange app listed in WiFi data usage overview

I'm using a unrooted Galaxy S20 (SM-G981B) and a few days ago I found a folder at my storage named "****". I never created this folder, but the timestamp and it's creation date was similar with the time where I tried some timelapse apps from the play store. After some research I also found out that there is a library for java (+ I guess android) called ****-Storage-Access-Framework (Link on Github: ****-Storage-Access-Framework) which seems to try helping developers to handle all the data file handling. So I was a bit more calmed, as I guess some of those timelaps apps might used this library and named the folder "****" because of this (not very professional but possible I guess).
Although I was somewhat calmed I was still warned and more attentive than usual. Yesterday I checked my WiFi Data usage (Connections->Data usage->WiFi data usage) and found a very strange app, called "10463". This App is listed nowhere else (also not in mobile data usage). I have no clue what app this could be or if it is connected to the "****" folder case a few days ago. But now I'm worried.
Beside this two cases nothing else strange happened on my phone.
Does someone has any idea what this app could be?
EDIT: When I print a list of all packages wie adb command "adb shell pm list packages", there is also no package with "10463" included.

How do I fix API error?

I dont know if this is the right place to ask this. If it isnt, mods can move or remove the post.
I was using an app for months on an emulator with http toolkit. But suddenly it stopped working after its most recent update few days ago. Every time I launch it now, it throws an error "check API configuration"

I was using Android studio with AVD Pixel 6 API 33 Android 13 x86_64
Out of curiosity, I created a separate avd using Pixel 5 API 28 Android 9 x86, and it works on this somehow, but again shuts down if I connect http toolkit to the emulator. If I disconnect HT, it runs. So Im convinced it somehow is rejecting the toolkit connection. I patched it using the ca-certificate from toolkit but it doesn't work.
Edit: Further investigation reveals the app is actually rejecting the adb proxy. So before I pushed 10.0.2.2:8001 the app worked fine. However as soon as I pushed it through, it started giving the error. So its apparent that its detecting the proxy and rejecting it even though its patched to accept the proxy.
How can I get it to accept it? I patched it with the toolkit certificate earlier, however it doesnt seem to be working anymore.
I appreciate any help I get with this.
Never heard of "adb proxy".
