Question VPN not working anymore? - Google Pixel 7 Pro

Hello, so I was using the free VPN from Google 1 that comes with the pixel 7 pro just fine until a few days ago I noticed it disconnected by itself. I tried to enable it again but now I'm getting this error attached below. I have no idea how this happened and I haven't changed a thing on my phone. Is anyone able to use it still?

The same problem

Same for me. I noticed it on Friday.

Mine too

Worked on stable for me. But not on beta

Glad u posted this. I've been in a telegram for a lsposed module asking if anyone else using the module was having the same issue of that module making the p7p VPN stop. I guess it's not the module and is just the VPN itself.
Anyway, ya, mine isn't working either. Proton VPN is probably better anyway.

Same error here, it used to work last month (I'm on January stable). No big deal though as I don't really use it for now.

Yeah that's the issue. It's supposed to be free for p7/p phones. I believe that was advertised at its release. Google will have to provide it now.

Same here. Seems to work fine on Stable release.

It's not working either on my end. January stable. I get the sign in notification as well.

Who like to take that offer even for free...? There is no possibility to change location. "Unfortunately, the VPN by Google One is very barebones, and it’s kind of similar to Apple’s own Private Relay feature in iCloud+. The Google One VPN will reduce online tracking by hiding your IP address, protect you from hackers on unprotected Wi-Fi networks, and give you a secure and private connection when browsing the web." REDUCE? Really? Should be completely blocked. Google is really big business and everything what they do is not fir us. Everything is to get bigger money. How you can trust to VPN Google if they have some internal policy for that service. Is not VPN. VPN can block all tracking. Not just reduced.

Same here. January stable rooted. Anyone who's not rooted the device experiencing it?

APNs fully editable through QuickShortcutMaker App

Stumbled upon this earlier today... download the QuickShortcutMaker app from the playstore.
Open it up and do a search for TEST. The last option to come up should be com.test.LTEFunctionality. Expand that, and click on the LTE test underneath of it. Then click TRY in the app. Scroll down to LTE APN Setting. The APNs are fully editable, and survive multiple reboots. I was able to add DUN, as well as proxy settings from adblock. wooo whoo! Apologies if this has been metioned elsewhere, but I haven't seen it.
Which line did you edit to turn on hotspot? Thanks!
Finally thank you!

Would also like to know. Also when I search "TEST" the last option isn't what you posted. Mine is Google Play Games (com.google.android.gms etc etc... )
This works perfectly for me. I searched for LTE and found the right one. Thanks!
Got to this part, what do I edit so that Sprint doesn't know if I'm using phone data or hotspot data? I'm on a 10 gig hotspot plan and need just a little bit more.

Thank you. I made the changes. I hope it works. We had a power failure last week and I ran 2 devices from my phone's LTE. I used 2.65 GB of the 10 allotted.

On the Note5 try searching for "ROAM" or "APN", I vaguely remember seeing some roaming/APN options on a Sprint version.
Try all the activities... YMMV

10Gigs/month? I go through that in 2 days, sometimes pushing over a 100gigs a month on LTE prepaid for only 50 bucks a month.
In 2017 you can do better than that, not having to dread the friggin' data limits
Just check around, there are plenty of nationwide prepaid offerings, and with a little tweaking you can do it too.
You're the best!
Has anybody confirmed this still works after the recent QGL update?

I'm not really sure how to check it, but it seems to be working for me. Reason being, in have a 10g free with my unlimited plan, but I suppose I need to run that out first?

Problem to access Amazon websites on Pixel 3

[It's solved! March Security Patch solved the problem!] 2019-03-09
Hello buddies,
I live in Japan, and I've bought a Pixel 3 about 1 month ago. Everything is fine so far despite I can't access Amazon websites (.com or .co.jp, or .com.br, whatever), both in browsers or Amazon Shopping app. My wife has an iPhone and there is no problem with that. By laptop has no problem too. It's about the Pixel 3, I think.
I've made a quick research, and I found some people with the same problem here in Japan, but not only with Amazon websites, but some others too. For this research I'm using a translator from Japanese language, and I didn't get any tips to solve this.
Does someone have the same problem? Any suggestion to fix it?
Thanks in advance.
Might not help, but have you tried using a different browser app?
Very odd, just tried it here in China and it works fine.

Well, I did the factory reset, nothing!
Then I've found out that I can access all the websites which I'm having trouble using 4G. So, If I change my connection from WiFi to Data, I can access. It's very weird, isn't?

No, it's not the router, because on my wife's iPhone it's connecting normally, laptop either. My brother's Note 8 is also connecting. It.seems that there is a lot of people with the same problem on Pixel 3.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/9ptp9c/pixel_3_wifi_issue/
Very strange. Could just be a DNS problem. Try using Blockada. It's free and lets you choose different DNS servers.

WIFI kickers that work?

One of the first things I installed on my Magisk-rooted OP7 is a program to kick greedy users off the wifi temporarily (Pixel Netcut), but it threw me into a boot loop.
On the next round, I installed Arcai Netcut. It works, but the $12 per year seems a bit steep, I don't expect to use it that often, only when sharing space with someone who's being a pig. A nice feature is that you don't have to kick them out, you can reduce their speed to, say, 30%.
Would some of you know of other apps that serve that purpose and are stable on Magisk-rooted OP7?
Thanks!!!!
is $12/yr and you bought a op7 pro? like cmon

Ha, I never said that I personally bought that phone… Otherwise, I could see your point!
And value-wise, I do spend $12 a year for Reverso, but I use that every day… When I contrast that to a program I might use a couple times a year, it seems steep (for my needs).

Had your problem a while ago, but in my research dsploit never worked correctly. You may try but the only working solution was netcut, because after a certain Android version every other app became obsolete.

Google pay Android 10

Hi all,
Has anyone used Google pay on Android 10? I tried on a cash point but the transaction didn't go through. The app said to hold the phone near the terminal but no response...so I'm wondering if this is a known bug or yet to be discovered.

Official StatiXOS 4.1 Release (Android 11)

So a new release is out! Anyone try it yet?
Change log: https://del.dog/statix4-changelog.txt
Download: https://sourceforge.net/projects/statixos/
Let me know if you install and how Google Chrome now works!
Neat brother, thanks for the heads up !
Do they force us to use Gapps, or is there a google free version as well for those who don't want the malware ?
Gapps is included. Don't think they have a non Gapps version. I am on Lineage at the moment as I could not get Google Chrome to work on the 4.0 version of this ROM and had issues getting cdDroid running. I would like to get on 11 but I need a stable ROM for my daily driver.

There's no in or out audio when you call or receive a call with the Phone app, even if connected through a Bluetooth device (car or headphone).
Besides that, this new official ROM is very good.
I'm really surprised of its stability... Is it feasible to use Nuclear version until the bug is fixed?

On 4.0, Chrome would just freeze at 60 seconds on the dot. Not sure if that is what yours is doing but if so then they still have not fixed it on 4.1 :-(

Maybe is worth to mention I had to install QQ1A.200105.007 firmware (January 2020) to be able to use TWRP to flash StatiXOS 4.1. Before, my device was using last Essential official build (February 2020) but with this firmware TWRP didn't work, as reported at many threads.
I know StatiXOS 4.1 is using its own vendor, but I guess the firmware goes beyond the vendor and there could be some leftovers.

Nope, I just didn't use 4.0 because of something else. My IMS was not registered and so no VoLTE available.

Well then I am glad that they fixed the Chrome issue in 4.1. Once the in-call audio I will give it another try.
Hope next version will be better. Many thanks!
I don't know if it's related to the ROM or the Android version but I can't get the Amazon apps to work (Amazon and Amazon Prime Video).
