Thanks in advance!

I always have to **** off any vpn to turn on rcs services. Then I can turn the vpn back on and everything is hunky dory.
Edit: I don't know what it auto corrected to, lol, but I meant turn off

I'm having the same issue and have found no fix. I do not use a VPN.

I saw an app in the Android Market called SyncMS.
The latest reviews said it is not working as it should.
I'd hate to purchase it and not having working properly.
Has anyone tried it, or know of another app and method that works?

you can use remote web desktop, and its free too.
I'd take a look at DeskSMS.
I use google voice and works great even had an updated version today.

Don't you need to be US-based to set up/make use of a Google Voice account though?

I have syncsms and it works fine but you need dropbox as well as the messages go through it. Another good one is textab. That one connects phone through bluetooth instead of using dropbox. Pretty handy.

Thanks. I've never heard of Textab. It didn't show up in apps that were related to SyncSMS either.
Which do you prefer between the two?

I think textab is flipping awesome. Ridiculously easy to set up and use. There's a trial version in the market and the full version is available for $2
I use Tablet Talk and it has worked great so far. You can sync via bluetooth or through your wifi network.

Look for texttab in market and try the free verson first. If you get it working I is great.

Textab and Tablet Talk are both nice. Tablet Talk seems to have more features. I have both up and running. Trying to decide which one I want to keep.

This app is awesome. Dev is working hard on future updates too.
I also like how it alerts me for incoming calls. That way I will know who the call is from, and will be able to get to my phone to answer it.

I know they've been mentioned in other threads, but can't remember which ones. They're probably also super buried in those threads. So, yeah, what do you use?

The vpn is local, not going to a remote server - you aren't passing any data to their servers (outside of the licence check).
I've been using Adguard for the past few months, works great.

nah.. I get about 6 hours sot and 22hrs with it enabled all day. Also use it while streaming music with screen off on YouTube. My battery doesn't last much longer without it enabled. I think you think it uses a lot of battery because all traffic goes through it so it looks like its power hungry in battery stats.

Started using Block This. It's great. Creates a local VPN on your device and filters out all ads. https://block-this.com/how-to-install-blockthis.php

I ended up removing Block This cause it was causing problems with some Tmobile services like Wifi calling and I think it was the reason why some apps were unable to launch.
Netguard. Works well with wifi calling and open source
Regarding Adguard, is there anyway to remove the "VPN is activated by Adguard" in the notification list?

Verizon voicemail messages stop short

Just discovered an issue where once I select the voice mail message it starts playing as soon as I put the phone to my ear the screen flashes on and the voicemail stops playing - it'll play if I use speaker but not if I listen to it via the ear piece - it stops after a few seconds. Maybe proximity sensor issue?

Remove samsung pay and your vvm will work fine. Just discovered this yesterday, what a load of crap that the OEM and carrier software don't work together.

No Clue. I just know it works. Remove it and vvm works fine, messages will play when the phone is brought to the face or when you cover sensors. Install Samsung Pay again and the vvm goes back to stopping after one-two-three seconds or when you cover the sensors.

I didn't need to remove Samsung Pay but disabled all Use Favorite Card Settings in Samsung Pay and then re-enabling after Visual Voicemail is fixed.

That sounded like a way better fix than mine however disabling the favorite cards did nothing.

Upon additional testing, I found that Samsung Pay app has to be running in memory for the fix to work.

Awesome, much better than my fix. Thanks! hopefully they can fix it soon.
Holy smokes! Disabling all Use Favorite Card settings in Samsung Pay worked. However, when I re-enabled all of them it did it again. So I disabled ONLY the "Screen Off" option and now my voicemails play correctly. Thanks EQUAKE.

Root cause of the issue possibly lies in how Nougat handles security permissions since there are reports from S6/S7/Note 5 owners with the same issues when they were updated to Nougat from Samsung. Visual VM app definitely needs updating.
my 2 cents.

Well I'll be! Disabled screen off in Samsung Pay and YUP! Add me to the list where this worked! Sweet thanks! So much better than FDR!
Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
Disabling screen off still has the VM bug for me - what works for me is if you leave Lock screen and screen off on but turn off Home SCreen. Bizarre I know.
I have the issue and don't have Samsung pay....
I disabled "Use Favorite Cards" lock screen and screen off only (Left Home Screen on) and it fixed it for me.

I can confirm this, coming from a OnePlus 6t the one thing I was missing not being able to root was ad blocking. I got Adhell3 up and running, pretty easily actually and now I don't miss root.

I'm using the Adguard (3.0.291), and it works fine.
You need to download the app from their website.
https://adguard.com/en/adguard-android/overview.html
I was also able to use AdGuard (3.0.291). I moved to Adhell3 to use in conjunction with a vpn.
Both have worked great though.

The Adhell3 dev put together some scripts that pretty much automates building:

It's much easier to me than trying to hack a prebuilt app. Plus, you know you have the latest and greatest version.
Most annoying party will be rebuilding every 3 months when the edu Knox key expires.

Dns and vpn in general are not a threat.
A malicious dns provider could redirect your traffic to a clone of your banking site.
A malicious dev or vpn could play man in the middle and copy or snoop on all your traffic.
Really is about who you trust. Turning vpn and your selected dns off means you trust your service provider more. Which is prob fine.
My vpn is provided by ProtonVPN, I trust them. I use the OpenVpn app and trust them, so I leave VPN connected 24/7

I'm using adguard and it works perfectly for blocking any ads. However I have some issues with it blocking my entire connection until I disable and enable it again ?
