[Q] Can't get VPN to work - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I a rooted Xperia Z2 running 4.4.2 17.1.2.A.0.314 and I have lost the ability to use my VPN app. I have happily been using Private Internet Access for a few years and suddenly it has stopped. I went through their customer support but they don't have any ideas. Things I have tried:
Different wifi areas, plus mobile data
Different configurations in the Private Internet Access Software
OpenVPN
OpenVPN Connect
Android OS built in VPN Client, all fail.
Anyone else having this issue? Any ideas?
Many thanks
Steve

Result!
Ok, got this sorted. here is a breakdown of what happened just in case anyone else gets the same problem:
I turned off Xposed modules and tested the VPN app, it was working! I went back and turned them on one at at time, it turns out that a module called "Force Immersive Mode" was stopping the "I trust this application" dialog box from appearing. The Xposed module was set to ignore immersive mode for that app, but I guess the dialog box was system generated rather than app generated.
Either way, everything is fixed.
Steve

Hi buddy, just an update on this in case you or anyone else encounters the same issue. Like you I just ran into the same problem. Luckily I knew it must have been that module as my vpn stopped connecting immediately after enabling the 'force immersive mode' module.
However, I'm the modules settings I just disabled immersive mode for vpn dialogues and system ui (both of which are system apps), and also disabled immersive mode for the xposed auto vpn module (you may not have that installed but I disabled it just to be sure, the module itself just disables android's requirement to accept the vpn connection every time you want to use it).
Hope this helps someone in future, I didn't want to stop using immersive mode altogether but needed my vpn to work so this seems to have solved the issue!

Thank you so much!! I have been looking for a solution everywhere!! I created an account just to give a thumbs up to you my man!!

this question and solution saved my life! well not literally.. it saved me from reformatiing..
Thank you!

I realize this is an old post, but disabling Xposed Force Immersive Mode completely fixed my VPN issue, so thanks to all!
In my case, I was only using it for a couple apps, so I didn't have it enabled for any of the apps @KingEB mentioned. If anyone knows how to keep the apps I want enabled and disable it for only the VPN related apps, I'd like to know how to do it. Even another immersive mode app, if there is one. Otherwise, I guess I can live without it.

Sorted

GPS Nav via TetherGPS on Nook Tablet

I was able to get TetherGPS running on my NT. Google maps and turn-by-turn nav are working fine.
Instructions:
1. On your NT, download TetherGPS Lite from here:
http://comptonsoft.com/test/
2. Install TetherGPS. When prompted, enable 3rd party apps and enable mock locations in the development settings menu.
If the Application Settings menu doesn't pop up, you can get back to it by downloading something I hacked together to get to the menu (tgps_launcher) from the address above. Click start in tgps_launcher and the menu will open.
3. Install Google Maps. I have an older version of the APK at the site above, or you can find a newer/better one.
4. Make sure the NT is connected to your phone's wifi hot spot, the TetherGPS server is running on your phone, and the TetherGPS client is running on your NT.
To launch any of the apps, you can click your "n" button, hit search, and start to type in their names. They will appear in, and can be launched from, the search list. (thanks to jdlothar for this tip!)
Nice and thank you! You can also install go launcher and just choose stuff straight from the app drawer.
TetherGPS "not receiving location"
I'm trying to use TetherGPS with the client on a Nook Color running CM7 stable (7.1.0), server on a Nexus S - tethered via wifi tethering.
Once both client and server are started, the client reports "not receiving location" - any ideas?
Good stuff.
If anyone can help me with this, I'm having trouble with street view. When I select it, I'm told there is no app to handle street view. Is there a separate apk just for street view?

Solution: make sure the server actually has a GPS signal
The problem was I was testing this indoors, and whilst the phone (server) had a location (via cell/wifi), it did not have GPS lock. Once I'd moved to the window and waited for the necessary time to acquire GPS lock, the TetherGPS server began sending data.
Version 1.2.0 was just posted. It includes some changes to make it easier to troubleshoot problems. It's now obvious if/when the server transmits location, if the client receives it, and how old the fix is. The server also will transmit network-derived locations if a gps fix is not available or if it is too old.
There was an update to the TGPS network protocol. This version will require you to update both the client and server, otherwise the client will report a version mismatch and not function.
1.2.0
- TetherGPS now sends the best available location (network or gps), and indicates the type and age of the fix on the notification bar.
- Icons have been updated.
- Different color icons now indicate status.
+ Gray = no connection
+ Red = very stale fix or no position
+ Yellow = stale fix
+ Blue = good fix.
The tethergps apps works good on rooted nook tablet and g2x. Google maps picked up signal but get a force close when it switches from the map to navigation mode. Tried reinstalling apps with no luck. Route 66 and Navigon both seem to work fine with turn by turn navigation.

Tested with HD2 T-Mobile running AmeriCanAndroid and rooted NT running ADW Launcher, using WiFi Tether and trial Tether GPS Lite.
For others giving this trial a test drive, as mentioned in the marketplace, you can only use it for a limited amount of time before it times out (trial version). Similarly, if you are turning it off and on while experimenting with settings to get it working, you have to wait a certain amount of time. Just be aware, and read the status messages on your phone so you know whether the system is actually working or if its just timed out/waiting for timer to start up. No big complaints about this other than some nubs like me getting a little confused setting this up to make sure it works before purchase. Also, for nubs like me, make sure you follow the directions in the first post for allowing "mock locations" on the tablet.
Otherwise, the maps, GPS location, and directions seem to work very well. Great work! Unfortunately I haven't figure out how to get the turn-by-turn navigation running.
How did you get the Navigation to work? When I click on the Nav button on the top right of Google Maps it force closes. If I click on the Nav button from the drop down menu on the upper left, it says that I need "driveabout". Did you side-load a Google Navigation Beta apk file?
GPS needs no be enabled on the NT. Use power control widget or other GPS toggle widget to turn the GPS on.

Yes, On the NT, install a widget that allows you to turn on your GPS (even though the NT doesn't have have one) I use Power Control widget (1 widget controls WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS and screen brightness). Just have the GPS enabled with that widget, and you should be good to go. It worked for me to allow turn by turn.

I'm familiar with the power control widget. Thanks! I'll give it a try.
I'm getting a "enable a My Location source in system settings" error.. don't know where that is on the Nook. Normally it's under Location & Security but on course on the Nook there is only a couple of options under security. Seems like everybody would be getting this message but nobody has posted anything about it and nothing is mentioned about this in the installation instructions.
Don't forget to activate "mock locations" in development settings.

I did that (both check boxes).. don't see anywhere else where I can "Enable a My location source" in system settings.. (is Mock location supposed to suppress this error message?)

[Q] Default data toggle widget, disable "Allow data traffic?" message

Hi,
I like the default data toggle widget and I use it a lot. But there is a problem - when I enable the network data, there appear a big message - "Allow data traffic? .....".
It annoys me, as I see it at least 5 times per day. Is there any way to disable it ? I am even ready to root the device for that
P.S. Yep, I know that there are other alternatives on the market but this is the last way I would count on.
Thank you in advance.

If I'm correct, the message isn't from the widget, but from the native android. It's there to warn user that enabling will cost you money.
I don't think you can disable that unless (not sure yet) you touch something in the system (of course, rooted for that).
well I wish we could! It's driving me insane, having to click the damn thing everytime. I KNOW it's going to cost me money to use teh data connection, I have an internet plan thank you very much.
That and the "Oh noez you switched data off!" notification on statusbar are annoying the hell out of me.
So, I rooted the device. Can anyone give me a hint how to remove this message ?

Maybe just assuming that with root access one can alter a variety of things in the OS. But yes that message is hella annoying and really should be shown only the first time.
I don't see other phones do this and my old phone either so there must be a way...

If you are just looking at removing at msg saying the data is disabled, just pull the notification bar and click on the "Clear" button.

Try Widgetsoid. You can create your own widget that one give that dialog. And loads of other handy ones, like batt/cpu info, flashlight, screen-on lock etc.
Well, I realized that is more interesting to write my own data toggle widget. Mobile data and WiFi already works, with no warnings

Most annoying for me is the GPS warning one Never had it before on my Desire.
Even when using a Sony Smarttag to automate the turning on of the GPS you still get the warning dialogue. Annoying as hell.
Those warnings annoy me too! I wish I could get rid of them... And they do pose a problem if I want to automate tasks, what were Sony thinking of???
They should add an option "Don't remember again" when that message appears.
It's ok to advice you the first time you turn on Data, but is necesary to say the same thing five times a day?
If you add to your phone the notification toggles, the message will not appear if you turn on/off data from there. (With 2011 Xperia was so)
I can understand why someone would turn off data, but why turn off GPS? As long as you don't have an app open that actually uses GPS, it doesn't do anything.
I personally NEVER turn off GPS, Data, NFC, ... The only switcher I ever use is WiFi.
If your rooted you can freeze certain apps...I found you can disable the unsupported headphones notification by freezing the following app:
com.sonyericsson.unsupportedheadsetnotifier
Theres probably one on there that causes the notifications for 3G data toggle, but I've not found it so far yet.
And yes, I do agree that the notifications are a tad annoying!
I've added a small application widget to android market. It allows to switch on/off network data without any notifications. Please help me test it

Does it still ask even when youre using the NFC tags?
Cause they just updated the NFC app with adding on Data traffic and stuff. anyone tried? and i just ordered NFC tags on ebay. :S

Just tried it and you do not get a message for turning data on.
Enabling GPS still gives a message. This annoys the hell out of me because their advert for smart tags clearly shows this as a use case.
[shameless plug]
If you find you need more tags, or your want some cheap ones you can stick to things (including ones designed to be stuck to metal), just buy blank ones (about 60p each) and use my new app for turning them into Xperia SmartTags

So, anyone ?
I've added few new features to my app. It's free and add free.
Please leave some feedback.

[Q] Disable Toast Notifications (for a specific app)

Hey guys,
I've been searching for a while now and could not find an answer: Is there a way (an app, framework module, flashable zip, whatever) to disable toast notifications? Ideally, this should work for a specific app but if that's not possible disabling them in total would be fine, too.
"Why would you do that", you may ask. Well, the thing is, I use the app "Best Wifi" to switch my wifi automatically at home since I'm using a repeater there. But as soon as I'm in an area without wifi connection, it tries to connect to a wifi and keeps on sending toast notifications with "no APN found blabla" every 15 seconds. Thats especially disturbing when I use my phone as a navigation device in the car. So, it would be great if I could block those toast notifications from popping up.
Currently, I'm using a rooted Nexus 5 with Beanstalk ROM on 4.4.2.
Thanks in advance!
Regards, Dominic

This answer is based on the assumption that you are using xPosed Framework.
Check this out. According to its developer, it works on Kitkat.
Featured on XDA portal few days ago.
Press Thanks if helped.
Thanks, that's what I've been looking for. I'll give it a try!
I have the same issue. However, I can't install any framework on my device. (I'm using an unofficial cm 12.1 build that isn't compatible) and I was wondering if there is any other way to do this? I've done a bit of searching and trial and error with Tasker but haven't figured out any solution.

SMS Bluetooth App

So I found this app which looked really promising but unfortunately doesn't work for me.
Basically would let our Omates send/receive sms via our phones Bluetooth while using our existing phone number. Would be great to not have to rely on wireless or a sim card with a new number.
I was never able to get the Bluetooth to work as it never connected with phone. Im not sure if it is a issue with my phone or with my Omate.
If someone wants to try and see if it works that would be great. The program is $2.99 but you can just refund withing 15 min if it doesnt work like i did.
Heres a full description & link:
Tablet Talk is a tablet SMS texting app that lets you text from a tablet and even make voice calls, while your phone stays in your pocket! It works with all Android tablets, including Nexus, Galaxy, Note, and Kindle Fire tablets. Unlike other apps, Tablet Talk doesn't force you to use a new phone number... your friends, coworkers, and family can contact you with your existing Android phone number. In addition, Tablet Talk does not require an Internet connection, does not store your data, and does not eat your battery!

I got this app to work. I figured I've blown more than $3 in my life of silly stuff. I've only tested it once, but it was fun to reject a call from my wrist.
First part:
Both devices are initially detected as a phone. You have to manually go in on the TrueSmart and switch it to "tablet". (Menu->Settings->Setup->Device Type)
Second part:
The bluetooth pairing screen is too big. (It was written for a tablet, no doubt.) If you installed "App Settings" module for Xposed, switching the DPI to 80 will get you past the pairing screen, after which you can put the DPI back to default.
Third part:
The app settings by default don't relay phone controls over to the tablet (watch) so you need to change the settings to make this happen. From the watch, Menu->Settings->Caller ID/Phone Calls.
Post back if you try and it works or doesn't.

I'm still battling this. The app works perfectly on wifi, but very unreliable on bluetooth. Unfortunately, my phone is an SGS3 running CM11 and the bluetooth there is only slightly more reliable than the bluetooth on the TrueSmart so I'm not sure where the problem lies. I haven't gone through the app maker's FAQ yet, and am hopeful I can make it work.
Anyhow, to answer your question:
If you installed Loki's patch, you should have an app called xposed installer. Make sure you have gone in the framework section and done install/update and the reboot required after.
Then go back into the xposed installer and into download. Down in that list somewhere you should find the App Settings module. Download that and install it.
Then go back and into the modules menu. Make sure you have a checkmark in the App Settings module and reboot again.
Now, you can go into app settings (should be a normal app - or you can navigate to it through xposed installer and modules then click on App Settings) and choose the Tablet Talk application and change its DPI to 80. Instead of switching it back to "0" of no override after, I've got it on 92 right now because that makes the dialer portion of the app usable for tablet talk. If you don't care, you may want to go back to default.
Good luck!

I am having the same issue with the BT on my OTS. It drops connection with my Moto X pretty fast.
Same thing here - about a 30 second connection between the TrueSmart and my stock Nexus7 2013, then it drops.

defiantly the firmware on mine dont think its a bad antenna. Really hope they get on the ball and fix this stuff. I cant even get the bluetooth to see my cars bluetooth or headphones. Not sure whats going on. Really frustrating I cant use it for the things i bought it for.
If it is a bad antenna I doubt I'd be able to even request a replacement since every email to them seems to go into a black hole lol

Unfortunately, my phone is an SGS3 running CM11 and the bluetooth there is only slightly more reliable than the bluetooth on the TrueSmart so I'm not sure where the problem lies. I haven't gone through the app maker's FAQ yet, and am hopeful I can make it work.
Anyhow, to answer your question:
If you installed Loki's patch, you should have an app called xposed installer. Make sure you have gone in the framework section and done install/update and the reboot required after.
Then go back into the xposed installer and into download. Down in that list somewhere you should find the App Settings module. Download that and install it.
Then go back and into the modules menu. Make sure you have a checkmark in the App Settings module and reboot again.
Now, you can go into app settings (should be a normal app - or you can navigate to it through xposed installer and modules then click on App Settings) and choose the Tablet Talk application and change its DPI to 80. Instead of switching it back to "0" of no override after, I've got it on 92 right now because that makes the dialer portion of the app usable for tablet talk. If you don't care, you may want to go back to default.
Good luck!

So i got it to work over bluetooth with the instructions your provided. I can send text messages but it doesnt show any recieved. So thats better then nothing I guess lol. Ill keep tinkering with the settings. Not sure why its not syncing the responses.
Also not being notified of phone calls either but i can make them. So not sure if its just some setting i have wrong that is not letting notifications and things come through. Any ideas?
This didnt help
"Third part:
The app settings by default don't relay phone controls over to the tablet (watch) so you need to change the settings to make this happen. From the watch, Menu->Settings->Caller ID/Phone Calls"
On the phones app it shows the sync log and does show the text messages but the watch is not receiving them. There is a setting on the phone app that says Incoming SMS Fix. Use only if your phones sms app blocks tablet talk from receiving messages.
That doesnt fix the issue. Wonder why you were able to block a call on your watch but I cant.
Ill keep tinkering.

Glad you got it partially working. It looks like the problem is with the BlueTooth on the watch. It can send data to the phone, but it doesn't receive the responses.
The time I did get the call to show up on the watch, I had switched it over to WiFi connect mode. I only realized that after I had already posted.
Anyhow, the app looks pretty decent. Maybe the infamous mythical future firmware update for the watch Bluetooth with fix everything[tm].

ok gotcha ya i hope the mythical update makes this work it would be awesome. Im going to write to the developers of the app to see if they can adjust it to better fit on the watch. I doubt they will but cant hurt to ask.
Really hope we see a bluetooth fix for the omate this month but i highly doubt it lol

At the cost of battery life, ive been running this semi-reliably using my phone as a hotspot and using tablet talk's hotspot mode feature, and connecting on the "tablet"/SmartWatch using wifi mode. Using it like this only makes me wish it worked properly over Bluetooth because short of forwarding all notifications, this is a great great app.

Someone over at Google+ suggested Tablet Notifier. I have received call notifications and SMS successfully over Bluetooth with it. No sending SMS, but that is really not a big deal for me; I hate typing on the watch. Only tried it for a few minutes, but the more of us breaking it, the faster we find if it breaks.

Play store not working on WiFi but works on cellular, problem

Hello I got a problem yesterday.
My play store won't logg in when I'm connected to a WiFi. But it works on the cellular connection.
I tried the following that I found online.
Wiping data, etc from the app.
Disabling it and restarting the app.
Same and restarting phone.
Changing the date and time
Changing it back to auto
Forgetting the WiFi and adding it again
I tried modifying he hosts file
Flash the gapps all over again.
Nothing helps, and I think some other Google services isn't working properly either.
I tried disabling juicedefender and adblock plus, the only two things I suspected, but nothing.
Any ideas? This is crippling my phone [emoji53]

Okey, this is what you need to do if you get the playstore problem. With adblock and adaway.
You need to be rooted.
Download hosts editor and add
First row

Is this your own wi-fi, or are you using a hotspot provided by a restaurant, supermarket, Kinkos, etc? Hotspots from places like this often require you to "log in". If this is the case, you need to load a browser and try going to a page, and you'll be directed to their own page, where you'll have to accept their terms and conditions in some manner, then you'll be good to go with Play Store and whatever else.
