Is it only VPN that is having issues? What kind of VPN are you using? Are you on stock firmware? Updated through OTA or Odin? Just trying to narrow things down.

Seems like it. I close it and no problem after. Been using Private Internet Access VPN but it never gave me issues until the Oreo update today. Yes stock, no root nothing and OTA.

Hmm ok thanks for the info! I have a N950FD (UAE) on stock firmware that I updated to Oreo, and I also use PIA. Just tried it now for a few minutes and it seems to be working fine. Maybe one of the settings? Might be worthwhile to uninstall the app and then reinstall and see if it resolves the issue.

cheers bud. Im gonna try now. will update my result here

Issue still remains. Intermittent DC for reason I dont know. Under more connection setings, under VPN and chose PIA and make sure it's "ALWAYS ON" and still sadly the issue remains,

Yes I have N950FD (UAE) and using it in Canada. I didn't do anything special...I had nougat before, with PIA installed and working fine. Eventually I updated to Oreo through OTA, and everything still works. Not sure, maybe another app is causing a conflict with your VPN connection?

might not be related, but i noticed after every major OS update, there tends to be something not working right. a hard reset aways fixes the problem. perhaps you can try a hard reset.

Market Fix for 8/1 Leak

Thanks to mrozzeh, we have a new leak. However, we also have a fingerprint issue again.
You can install this via clockwork; it is just a fingerprint change to the build.prop so all of your paid apps will be seen.
Once installed, dial this:
*#*#2432546#*#*
This will checkin and update your fingerprint with the market.
Now this is what I've been waiting for.
Thanks!
what is actually broken with the Market in this build? I am running it and have used the previous market fix, and have not had an fc or any issue downloading my apps?

Thank you. I will try this out
Just wondering, how come the market fix for the initial leaked OTA did not require the dialing of *#*#2432546#*#*?

it's not "required" it just manually makes your phone do the checkin process instead using an app download to do it.

As it should. The only issue, is that your software and build numbers will not reflect properly when you look at 'about phone' 'software' etc...
Other than that, you should have no issues.

Its more of apps not showing up.
Interesting that someone had run the checkin and it worked without issue. Was that with the stock leak?
I wonder if the leak's fingerprint is in Google's system. Which is a very, very good thing if thats the case
adrynalyne = my hero
This worked, awesome, thanks!
Didn't work at all, Market is still as slow and unlikely to download apps. Do you want logcats?

No.
Your issue has nada to do with what this addresses.
You can try

Could be your DNS settings are screwed up and over writing the router's settings. Download set DNS and uninstall it from within the app. This will reset your DNS to the factory default settings.

The changes in my link reverts the driver settings in JB back to same as ICS.
Even though the driver itself might be different in JB, but following the instructions will set the settings identical to the ICS settings. I do not experience disconnections or problems to connect to certain access points anymore. Let me know what happens after you tried it.
Also, the instructions will work only if you have rooted your phone. Keep in mind to mount the system folder as Read/Write

Issue with Mi 8 GPS

Hey there,
I just received my Mi 8 yesterday and I am getting serious issue with GPS, it's not connecting at all even though I accepted all permissions with several apps!
It's set on high accuracy but won't find my location through GPS (always connecting/searching for the GPS).
Have you guys encountered this issue and found solutions ?
I can retrieve my position with network but not GPS, with Waze for example.

i have miui 10 china developer too, but try this
select gps device only
if you can, locate a-gps settings in the rom, ( in settings, search settings, write a-gps),and select:
all network, msb, server adress supl.google,com, server port 7275 , hot
push more at the botton and save.
reboot your phone
if you cannot locate agps settings,
install gps test apk from play store
open the app and select three point, agps, clear and update
on settings, select datum and select the best option for your country, save and restart the app
Hope it works for you

hello my friend. Could you please provide me with this patch?
I have the same problem with the same Rom. I managed to get GPS signals by rebooting the device every time I really need to use GPS and it works. Problem is that after you reboot it hangs, so then
you have to keep on pressing the power button and it will reboot and Gps will work. Not exactly a permanent solution though.
