I turned off 5G on my phone and it has worked so much better since Posted: 17 Jul 2021 04:47 AM PDT Anyone else have this experience? I got a LG V60 ThinQ 5G in March and ever since have had issues with 5G on T-mobile. My brother has a Samsung S21 and had the same experience. When you are sitting in one place with 5G and the signal is strong, it works great. But if you signal is anything less than strong or if you are on the move, it is buggy as hell. Dropped calls, delayed text messages, photos not sending via text, websites not loading, etc. But I turned it off in the settings and am back on 4G and it just works so much smoother. I just don't think the technology is there yet for 5G. submitted by /u/rocker2014 [link] [comments]

How to utilize Android's Data connection via socks proxy on Linux using USB-tethering without root Posted: 17 Jul 2021 03:45 AM PDT It's done with Termux on the phone and ssh client on the desktop. It does not require a rooted phone. Should work on mobile-only plans, unless you give yourself up with unencrypted User Agent requests1 or by visiting desktop-only2 sites. Don't blame me if you'll get charged additional money. Applicable for Android 7-11. These steps does not suit Network Manager setups exactly. However, it won't work when activating mobile Data and connecting via Wi-Fi (no AP). In this way Wi-Fi will be prioritized as default gateway on the phone. Please let me know if you'll find a workaround for that. ​ Set up udev rule to assign a constant name to RNDIS device Connect and enable USB tethering on the phone. It will be assigned an incremental name like usb0 or usb1. Determine the serial: desktop$ udevadm info -a -p /sys/class/net/usb0 | grep serial Place similar file into include folder; note the usb20 interface name: /etc/udev/rules.d/95-usb.tethering.rules SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", DRIVERS=="usb", ATTRS{serial}=="xxxxxxxxx", NAME="usb20" Reload the rules: d# systemctl reload udev ​ Set up DHCP on that constant interface Place following lines in /etc/network/interfaces: allow-hotplug usb20 iface usb20 inet dhcp ​ Install and set up Termux with openssh package termux$ pkg update t$ pkg install openssh t$ whoami # determine randomized user name t$ passwd # set up initial password t$ nano ../usr/etc/ssh/sshd_config Unfortunately, local address space is not available until tethering is activated, so we have to listen everywhere. But, we can whitelist the local network. Note the randomized username. ListenAddress 0.0.0.0 Port 12345 # additional obscurity; choose your own AllowUsers u0_a123@192.168.0.0/16 t$ sshd # run the server Connect the phone, enable USB tethering and ssh-connect for the first time: d$ ssh -p 12345 u0_a123@$(grep usb20$ /proc/net/arp | awk '{ print $1 }') Place your public key into .ssh/authorized_keys on the phone, test, disable PasswordAuthentication no and restart the service on the phone: t$ pkill sshd # stop the server t$ sshd You may want to disable battery optimizations for Termux. ​ Install Termux:Widget to control sshd from the screen, or Termux:Boot to run sshd at boot t$ cat .shortcuts/start-sshd.sh sshd t$ cat .shortcuts/stop-sshd.sh pkill sshd ​ Use following scripts to start and stop socks proxy: https://gist.github.com/nobodysu/7a8854eab932493d65406310b5dd36e8 https://gist.github.com/nobodysu/c9e9276e4d590c37f582b1a3621181c1 Remember to chmod +x the scripts. Ensure the proxy is running: d$ ss -antupl | grep ssh Graceful connection shutdown is advisable, or you'll have to remove the .sock file or reboot. ​ DNS (optional) Something like: d$ nslookup google.com $(grep usb20$ /proc/net/arp | awk '{ print $1 }') or (OVERWRITE) d$ echo "nameserver $(grep usb20$ /proc/net/arp | awk '{ print $1 }')" > /etc/resolv.conf ​ Use cases d$ tail -1 /etc/proxychains.conf socks4 127.0.0.1:20020 d$ proxychains curl ifconfig.co/json or https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/container-proxy/ WARNING: not 100% robust. ​ 1 Enable https-only mode in Firefox without fallback 2 windowsupdate.com, etc ​ References: https://www.monblocnotes.org/node/1895 https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/388300/udev-does-not-rename-usb-ethernet-device https://askubuntu.com/questions/21914/how-can-i-make-networkmanager-ignore-my-wireless-card submitted by /u/nobodysu [link] [comments]
