I have rooted a Samsung (and others) in the past and did it by reading and then following a lot of posts mainly on XDA but also other sites. It is not hard to brick the phone if a mistake is made....... Another relatively easier option may be to look at uninstalling or at least disabling the 'bloatware' via ADB commands which may be done without rooting. The phone would remain locked and using banking apps should not be an issue. I have however no experience with US carrier bloated phones but it shouldn't be any different to others.

English Retiree Wants TIN
topt replied to SamSaraburi's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
If non-resident for tax in UK and paid somewhere other than UK/Thailand just give the company his UK TIN - NI number or UTR - no issue........re TIN no. for the company anyhow....... -
The problem as you say is that the ISP can try hijacking DNS and may do it for a short while for whatever reason. I remember a previous IT poster with more experience then me saying that AIS was very guilty of doing that. I seem to have been fortunate with True but I do use my own router with the True modem in bridge mode. Using DOH or DOT should be safe......vpn does make sure however......

English Retiree Wants TIN
topt replied to SamSaraburi's topic in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Somewhat confusing - Then what does this mean - So is he working here? -
Depends whether you agree with what is being said I guess...... A quick read suggests just a rehash of stuff posted in all the major tax threads over the last 18 months on here but crucially ignores Savings clause pre 1/1/24 and although one poster mentions DTAs I could not see any discussion.... Plus this - Also one poster talks about contradictory statements from the tax advisers.......

Accessing the dial pad and using Skype/teams.
topt replied to 5davidhen1's topic in Mobile Devices and Apps
Try this link https://calling.web.skype.com/ It takes you to a log in screen for your MSN Skype account - or should do. When I click on that link and provide my Skype log in details in takes me to my page showing credit and numbers called. This is on a pc not mobile. If you cannot get in through there then there would appear to be a technical issue and you may have to go back to MSN to resolve. -
If Windows try setting DNS in Adapter settings to something other than your ISP and flush the dns cache cmd in run tun box then ipconfig /flushdns Network and Sharing centre I use Quad 9 and Cloudflare as a secondary but pick whatever DNS resolvers you want. If that doesn't work go with a free vpn first and see if that works before forking out - Windscribe or Tunnel Bear have limited free options

Have you tied to log into a Microsoft account with your Skype name and password as previously suggested? Since I did this successfully only 10 days ago I respectfully suggest that you haven't? -
Which provider? If Ais then there is another thread on here about not being able to access more 'pedestrian'sites...... Simple answer is VPN No issue on True for one of the main sites you may be referring to.....

Changing DNS settings on an AIS Fiber router
topt replied to Zaphod Priest's topic in IT and Computers
Unless I am misunderstanding fixing your IP address is not going to change DNS site lookup. If you are using a pc/laptop have you tried specifying ia different dns rather than AIS's in the adaptor settings? Try the same and see if it helps. -

Because you have to log in to a web page with your Skype log in and password - the old apps no longer work. Something like this which was one of the links sent from MSN re the change. https://login.live.com/login.srf?wa=wsignin1.0&rpsnv=175&ct=1751373997&rver=7.5.2156.0&wp=MBI_SSL&wreply=https%3A%2F%2Flw.skype.com%2Flogin%2Foauth%2Fproxy%3Fclient_id%3D572381%26redirect_uri%3Dhttps%3A%2F%2Fcalling.web.skype.com%2FAuth%2FPostHandler%26state%3Dc6774eaf-5e38-4e2c-90e9-cf43e32049b1&lc=1033&id=293290&mkt=en-US&psi=skype&lw=1&cobrandid=2befc4b5-19e3-46e8-8347-77317a16a5a5&client_flight=ReservedFlight33%2CReservedFlight67 Basically a Microsoft Account log in. -
I actually finally noticed it today. However because it is in between the entrance and exit it doesn't affect me at all.
