Can anyone change the DNS of the WiFi on android 12 (31.0810.1226.91)?
I use static IP to change the DNS of a particular WiFi.
However, it keeps append the google DNS (8.8.8.8) no matter what i do.
FYI, i am using pihole, so it just keeps bypassing my pihole and direct all traffics to 8.8.8.8.
Is this a bug or just i missed some settings?
I have tried the following:
1. factory reset
2. reset wifi, mobile data settings
3. turn off private DNS settings.
and none of the above mentioned works...
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Hello, I was able to change the DNS without problem. Open Settings, networks and internet, and then Private DNS, select the "Private DNS Provider Hostname"

But I am using pihole which is just an IP address and no hostname. So I can't use that setting
Put ip adres as hostname in correct format

I tried that and it doesnt allow me to save the settings...
If you have rooted, add a custom hosts entry with a name that points to your pihole router and then try. Can do that with AdAway.

but haven't gotten a single response yet. Since this is a concern for more than one device I feel like I should post it here. Mods feel free to move this to the correct location if need be.
===================
So it seems to me that this is a problem on ALL Android devices that I have tested with. Here's the situation
I have a router in my house in which I have DHCP turned off so my device will grab an IP (Not Static) and DNS from the ISP. I need to find a way to be able to just change the DNS Settings to 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 on android without having to manually put in an IP since the IP will automatically get changed every few day's.
Android doesn't seem to let me do that. Does anyone know how? Going into the Advance Menu in the Wifi settings and changing the dns does not actually change anything... I noticed this on the following android devices as well: Moto Cliq, MyTouch 3g, old Kaiser running android on NAND, and my Rhodium Devices running android.
Any reason as to why Android isn't updating my DNS Settings? Any help would be appreciated.

Ok so DHCP is assigning your network config, but you want to use different DNS servers than the DHCP allocated ones?

On my HTC Hero running an Android 2.1 ROM, unless "Static IP" is selected, I dont even get the option to change the DNS servers (option is greyed-out).
One way to manually change DNS is via shell if you have root access on your phone using ADB shell (or ssh, telnet etc if your ROM supports them), see this thread [Q] Help! Changing DNS settings .
Any network config tools on the app store?

I'm confused by your question. If you have DHCP turned off your device's are not going to grab an IP address from your router. Why don't you turn on DHCP and let your router assign IP addresses. As doing so your devices will also use the DNS setting from the router which will be your ISP's DNS ip address. Unless you change your DNS settings in your router to one of the many public DNS servers available. My recommendation is turn DHCP to "ON" on your router. Maybe start your DHCP IP assignment at 192.168.1.100 and go up to 150. That way you can use the range from .2 to .99 for static IP's. This is how I configured my router but I'm also using DD-WRT firmware on my router which highly customizes the router. Alternately you can change your routers DNS ip setting to Open DNS server so there would be no need for you to change it on the phone if you are using WIFI. Just let your router do all that work for you. Hope this helps. Viva Santiago Rep Dom y NYC.
Hi
I had wifi in my office where we could use net without any problem, now proxy server has been set up. I know all the settings but cant figure out how to enter IP Address in my HD7 (Mango) manually to start browsing.
e.g. the proxy server IP is: 192.168.0.1
Now I need to give an IP to the phone myself, say: 192.168.0.69
But the phone is automatically giving itself IP: 192.168.1.xx
This is very annoying as I am unable to sync my mail in the office.
Any help will be highly appreciated
You can edit the WiFi network settings for the particular network, by tapping and holding on it.

Only the server etc. can be edited when proxy is turned on, there is no way to edit my HD7's own IP address

i assume your PPoE connection goes through the router, and that you have set the DNS correctly on the router. they DNS setting in the router should override the DNS setting provided via PPPoE. it doesnt matter if you have fixed or dynamic ip address. if your pc and phone uses that same router then they should use the same DNS.

Nvm i contaced Funky Huawei and they provided me with another methoud that fix my phone.
I think they changed their DNS tho..
$ nslookup www.zoom.com 213.202.238.238
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
There are three settings, Off, Automatic, and Private DNS provider hostname
I assume Off means the ISP DNS will be used? But exactly are the other settings. Do they use DoT? And what server is automatic. I have searched, but all I find is it is a setting that should be used, but no explanation of each setting. Thanks.
Hello, I got trouble on many different ROMs (Corvus, Cherish, Havoc etc). When I open my wi-fi settings and set IP settings on Static IP, the button "Save" disappears and I can't change DNS.
How to solve it? Redmi note 8 pro.
I think you can't change the DNS because there is an overriding setting in effect called "Private DNS". If you have a DNS set up in Private DNS then you will not be able to change the DNS setting individually. I'm using Pixel 12 so it may be a bit different then I describe here, but you want to find the "Private DNS" setting in Android. To change the DNS that I use for WiFi, I,
1. Went into Settings and picked "Network & Internet"
2. Scrolled down to "Private DNS" and selected it
3. Selected "Private DNS provider hostname" and I filled it out. It must be a DNS name, it cannot be an IP address like 8.8.8.8. So, instead, if you wanted to use 8.8.8.8, you would enter "dns.google". To use Cloudflare 1.1.1.1, you'd enter, "1dot1dot1dot1.cloudflare-dns.com".
I hope this helps.
Actually:
NXbogusdomain = dodgy dns
I have in the past set my own ip to the dns I intend to use too...

No, my wi-fi settings don't depend on personal DNS. I turned it off and nothing has changed. Still the button Save is inactive as soon as I turn on Static IP.
