[Q] Advanced APN settings

Hi,
I just bought a new Iconia A501. To connect to the customs company's APN, I have to create a new APN profile. Within the profile, I have to enter DNS-settings manually. But I can't find a possibility to edit these settings.
Can this be done with an APP ? Or do I have to 'root' my device. Are there How-to's available to do this ?
Thanks for your help.

Try this, it's an APN shortcut program that opens up your APN settings. I installed it on my tab just to make sure it worked first.

Once installed, open the program, click the menu icon in upper right corner, then "new apn", and set it up.

seems to be that it is not compatible with my device (or country)

its not that is doesn't work its just that the default Rooted HOneycomb on the A501 doesn't allow you to enter things like you would on a phone for instance my US - A501. i am trying to add the default phone APN so i can use the 4g sim from my Atrix in my rooted A501 but i can't enter half of what it needs and i what i can enter it tells me isn't valid.

Remove 2nd SIM icon

Hi,
Does anyone know a way to remove the icon in the status bar for the second SIM?
Thanks!

I'm also interested to know this.

Which icon ? The carrier operator ? See settings>diplay>carrier name toggle.
The no sim icon goes away when you put on a memory card.

Thanks. It worked.

In english: Download app QuickShortcutMaker, open it and navigate to activities -> settings -> scroll to com.android.settings/com.android.settings.SignalIconStyle -> click on it and hit try
I hope this is the correct way with english version

Thank you so much, this was the only annoying thing for me

There's a little app for toggling the 2nd SIM icon now, if you don't want to use QuickShortcutMaker

[MOD][6.0] Enable Multi-Window on your Xperia

In the name of GOD​
Hello Everyone!
There's a feature in Android 6.0 called multi window mode. It's a hidden feature.
Many people don't know if that is even available. So I've decided to teach u people how to enable Multi-Window mode.
U need root for this to work.
Tutorial:
1. Download any root browser.
2. Navigate to system/build.prop
3. Find "ro.build.type"
4. Replace the "user" to "userdebug"
5. Save and Reboot.
6. When the device has booted, go to the developer options.
7. Scroll down to the bottom of the "Drawing" category.
8. Enable multi-window.
9. Cheers! Now u have multi-window enabled.

Interesting - thanks
What firmware/rom are you on for this?
and also could you resize your images a little smaller please?
thanks

Looks good. Great share bro

Amazing ! His work
Really thanks bro

Thanks, works perfectly on 6603

Working perfectly. Thanks bro

It'll work on all marshmallow rooted devices. Check for root. If you're rooted, use a root explorer.

its a little bit hard to use compared to Samsung's one. But cool

if I have root on my mobile and also edit the build.prop with root explorer and then restart habilito multi windowed mode but after restart and test applications me a window appears in black and closes the app

Am using cm/12.1 shall I try this ?

will it work on z ultra?????????????

VoLTE for Xperia Z & Xperia X series.

Hi Guys,
After many days of search and trials I have managed to enable VoLTE in Xperia Z2 & Z3 in Android 6.0.1.
But this Method should work on Newer Z & X series models(till 2018).
Only For Xperia Z & X series
Your carrier must support VoLTE service and it should not be locked to certain devices by your carrier.
This method Only works on stock roms.
Tested and working !
Operator- Idea, Reliance Jio [India]
Thanks to @jitz975 @Dilesh Perera @kevev @tititoto
Try at your own risk.
Always make a backup of system and data before doing this in case anything goes wrong
Follow these steps,
1. Root Access and Recovery are mandatory.
2. Download & flash VoLTE .zip via recovery(only for Xperia Z2 & Z3).
3. Find this line in /system/build.prop [ro.build.type=user] & change it to [ro.build.type=userdebug] then restart phone.
4. Then u have to find the modem switcher.
its in system/priv-app and its called CustomizationSelector.apk
> download Quick shortcut maker from play store
> open Quick shortcut maker to make a shortcut using the app then go to customisation Selector \ modem switcher
> open Customization Selector app and select modem according to your network operator.
> if u dont find your operator just select volte_base_operator_trials_tar.
> try other ims modems if any of these wont work.
> if it wont work even after then try another stock Android rom from xperifirm flashtool.
5.. After selecting modem, phone will restart and you are good to go.

Now agin switch back to VoLTE based trial modem.
If it wont work then your carrier doesnt support VoLTE..

VoLTE is a Carrier dependent service. if ur carrier not supports u wont get anything other than the toggle in settings
VoLTE is one of the coolest services comes with 4G
im waiting with the toggle until my carrier launch the service Lol

I did all, and started launching the customization settings app but it opens and close right after and can enter to the modem settings somehow

Best

Your carrier locked VoLTE to certain xperia model.
Cant help with that.
In your case VoLTE access is restricted from network side.
Remaining settings are correct by these method

Thanks for the info. Very disappointed ?

Google assistant activates on my phone by long pressing home key, but whenever I give it some command like set an alarm, set timer etc. it says 'Can't perform this function while device is locked, unlock device to do this', although my phone is unlocked. I'm using MIUI Global Stable v8.2.4.0. Is there any solution to this?

People who are having problems, plz do like below
Settings - installed apps - default - assist and voiceinput - assist app change the settings and langauge to English us
