Hi all,
On my X, adblock apps don't seem to work 100%. I'm using a custom 10 ROM, same as my brother's (he also has an X), and tried Blokada, Adaway and DNS66. Using the same phone and ROM (and settings), my brother is add free and I still see apps. It's driving me mad. What could be the cause?
I already:
- Cleared cache and dalvik
- re-installed apps
- set private DNS to 'off'
- forced Blokada to 'forced on'
- tried many different host files.

I have determined that my Nexus 4 is sending occasional ARP Spoof requests. I was first notified of this on my school wifi, but have been able to confirm on my home network as well.
There are no questionable apps installed, everything is either a popular playstore or root app. Some searching brings me only to Dsploit and droid sheep as the android apps who do this - neither have been installed on my device.
Has anyone had this problem before? Is there any way to monitor the network from my Nexus 4 to see what app could be forcing these requests? I've done a full wipe and flashed stock, and then restored apps. This is still happening so it makes me believe this is coming from an app not the system. Additionally I've run every virus scanner that I could find and as expected, found no faults that they could pick up.
Hi,
I recently bought a Motorola Moto X Pure Edition running Android 6.0. Everything was working fine until just a few hours ago when I needed to enable permissions for an app. It came up with the "screen overlay detected error." I looked this up online and tried the solutions (including ones found in XDA threads). I disabled drawing over other apps for all apps on the phone (including system apps), reset app preferences, and rebooted my phone, but nothing is working. I cannot change permissions for any app. Is there a way around this? Am I doing something wrong? Is there a way to disable this "safety feature" permanently?
Thanks!

Also: My phone is rooted and has Xposed installed if that helps....
My Xposed mods include GravityBox, Deep Sleep Battery Saver, Greenify, and Boot Manager
I'm using the latest version of "CNN Breaking US & World News" -app on Android downloaded from Google Play. The device I'm using is LG V30+ running Android 7.1.2 with latest security patches. The device isn't rooted.
Otherwise the app works just fine, but I'm unable to receive any notifications from the app. So far I've tried the different notification customizing options the app has built-in (including turning silent hours on and off and changing the density of news notifications per day). I've also deleted the cache and data of the app from the system settings and deleted and reinstalled the app quite a few times now. I've also restarted the phone multiple times and checked that the CNN app has proper notification permissions in system settings (and that the notifications aren't blocked or anything) and that no battery optimization is turned on for the app.
Other apps that I've installed on my phone are displaying their notifications just fine including CNN MoneyStream app that I've also installed. The CNN main app also displays notifications currently on my two other devices (my older Nexus 6P and iPhone 6s Plus). I'm also not using battery saving mode or "do not disturb".
The only other troubleshooting option left to do that I can think of is complete factory reset of the phone and/or wiping the whole cache partition clean. Since my phone is otherwise working very smoothly and there are no other issues at the moment I'm not willing to go there just yet. From previous experiences with Nexus 6P I've learned that sometimes wiping the whole cache partition can cause similar problems with other apps. Sometimes simply reinstalling the misbehaving app and deleting its cache can help, but that doesn't seem to be the case this time.
Before doing the most recent factory reset on my LG V30+ I wasn't receiving any notifications from AP Mobile (which now works) and BuzzFeed News (working as well) so this issue isn't necessarily tied to the CNN app, but is probably a larger problem with the way notifications on Android work. I've also tested the push notifications with a tester app and it works just as it should.
I recently did a factory reset because I was experiencing serious notification delays on my device. Some apps like Twitter displayed notifications with a delay of 30 minutes to 2 hours. Now all the other apps that I've installed are showing their notifications right on time (at the same moment with my iPhone 6s Plus and Nexus 6P).
So I'm asking you are you aware of any compatibility problems with the CNN app at the moment or is there anything else I could do to make the app show notifications correctly. It's a great app so it's really a shame that the notifications aren't displayed at all on my newest Android device. Of course I can use the widget for CNN, but it's just not the same. I've also emailed CNN app support about this issue, but they haven't replied yet.
EDIT. Just checked the running services from developer settings. CNN is using constantly over 200 MB of RAM on my LG V30+ (where the push notifications for it aren't working at all) and on my Nexus 6P (where the app works just as it should) just about 20 MB. So there's a significant difference there. The settings for both apps are identical. On my Nexus 6P there's also an additional process for CNN running (com.android.chrome:sandboxed_process0) consuming 2 MB of RAM. The aforementioned process isn't running at all on my LG V30+.
Hey there,
I have a relatively recent Android 8 install (Superman ROM on an S7 Edge), rooted, and various apps no longer sync, including Firefox, and DAVDroid, but probably also others.
There have been times when initiating a manual sync within Firefox would actually make it work again (including DAVDroid, which uses the Android sync framework, as well), but that doesn't work anymore. The few times it did, I'd actually see a toast "Auto-sync timers have started", which Taskwarrior emitted upon reception of a broadcast intent probably related to system boot (see here: https://github.com/Doctor-Andonuts/...rc/main/java/kvj/taskw/data/BootReceiver.java).
Rebooting doesn't fix things, and neither does wiping Dalvik & cache.
I am really at a loss here and thinking that something is not starting up the service or threads or whatever it is that controls the Android sync framework. Auto-sync is obviously enabled, and dis- and re-enabling doesn't fix the issue either. Firefox and DAVDroid are set up to sync, and everything else appears normal.
So what is missing for the sync framework to start? What could be preventing it from starting, or killing it?
Thanks for any help!
Hey guys! I have a Samsung A20 (Android 9) and i usually deactivate most of google apps but recent days both Chrome and Youtube get reactivated for some reason. Any help with this? I tried turning off automatic updates and turning off all background data. I know i can root it and delete these apps but i prefer not to. Other thing that i noticed is that when the app appear again some download "Language for chrome" (that is a direct translation from spanish) it's happening. I also tried a factory reset but the problem it's still there. Thank you for any feedback!
