How to utilize Android's Data connection via socks proxy on Linux using USB-tethering without root

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 requests^(1) or by visiting desktop-only^(2) 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 ...

I turned off 5G on my phone and it has worked so much better since

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 o...

Does anyone else think flagships are a bit of a scam?

I have owned a note 8 and a note 9, and most recently an iphone XR after my note 9 went completely insane. My last phone was stolen, and I was just fed up of spending tons on phones, so I started looking into cheaper options. I finally settled on a Samsung A52, thinking it was the best deal in terms of features for price.

Since using it, I have felt like there isn't much difference in day to day use between this phone and my note 9, aside from the S pen which I really liked. This made me wonde...

Avoid Android devices with virtual proximity sensors

Many of the newer phones are coming with virtual proximity sensors, meaning they don't have a hardware proximity sensor, but they utilize the gyroscope and the accelerometer to sense when the phone is raised to the ear.
Those phones are inconsistent and many times the screen turns on during calls and misstouches are frequent.

I am finding these phones that are listed to have a virtual proximity sensing, but I am sure there are more, especially newer phones with "full screen" design.

Why regularly restarting your android phone is important and why manufacturers don't care?

This is half of the question and half of the answer.

I see a lot of people (especially that less tech-savvy) complaining about how their phone UI is already slow and how they need to buy a new one. But it is a very overlooked fact, that if you restart your phone regularly (like every 3 days or so) you can get much more smooth experience from weaker and older phones. Lot of people are instead wasting resources and money on over powerful phones whose power they never much use (unless they are pla...
