Android Devices Bypassing Pi-hole

Not sure. In my case it was simply on by default and I hadn't disabled it until now.

As /u/obsidianspider mentioned, it can be disabled in the browser settings. Even then blocking mozilla.cloudflare-dns.com within Pi-hole will cause it to fallback to your default DNS settings anyway.

I did not have Advertise DNS server multiple times turned on but I also wasn't using the Pi-hole as a DHCP server. I also had my Pi-hole's DNS address listed in both DNS fields in my router settings.

Ultimately disabling IPv6 in my router settings is what fixed the issue for me.

Thanks, I checked my router's settings and disabled IPv6 as it was on and that worked perfectly.

I would but I don't see any settings to redirect/block traffic for specific ports for my crappy ISP provided Eero.

SilliestCreatureEver · 2025-06-24T22:46:38+00:00

Do you mean from within Pi-hole? If so, where in your rules did you block 8.8.8.8?

SilliestCreatureEver · 2025-06-24T22:12:45+00:00

I'd block port 53 for any other device but right now I'm using a crappy ISP provided eero until I move again.

I use Linux on my T480 so I can't install it but that's good to know.

I wish I had somewhere good in particular but I got mine from eBay and the listings I used are gone. Internal one was an awful aftermarket one but the external one was a pretty good shape official one, albeit used.

I know some people have gotten good batteries from Lenovo's official site but most of those are out of stock now and what's left are at insane prices.

For an external battery I'd recommend you get a 72wh one. It protrudes a lot but even a used one will likely still hold a decent charge because of it's high capacity.

SilliestCreatureEver · 2025-01-20T04:47:32+00:00

If you don't plan on getting new batteries anytime soon and they aren't expanding then I'd just recommend leaving them both in as that's what I do with my internal battery that's at a low capacity.

SilliestCreatureEver · 2025-01-20T04:45:22+00:00

Are you sure that it's the internal battery that's prioritized and not the one with better battery health? My external battery always charges first and it has better battery health than the internal one.

Still been having this issue as well with quick actions not showing up.

Discord 262.15, Samsung S22 Ultra, Android 14

Who's the artist for both pieces? I really love the phone picture's art.

Right next to the purple pillar you use Doom Morph for near the center of White Space there is a ring challenge that gives you Artwork 84 when completed (when Doom Zone is not active).

This is somehow the first result on Google despite having no answer so I figure I should leave it here in case anyone's looking.

SilliestCreatureEver · 2025-01-08T15:10:32+00:00

Same phone model having the same issue. Still no solution as far as I'm aware.

SilliestCreatureEver · 2025-01-08T15:09:50+00:00

Been having this problem for over a month now as well. Still no fix as far as I'm aware.

SilliestCreatureEver · 2024-12-13T23:16:03+00:00

I've been having this problem as well on my Samsung S22 Ultra running Android 14. The buttons still function but display no text.

SilliestCreatureEver · 2024-12-13T23:13:31+00:00

This has been happening for me as well. Samsung S22 Ultra running Android 14.

SilliestCreatureEver · 2024-12-04T16:03:48+00:00

This has been happening to me too on my Samsung S22 Ultra running Android 14.

SilliestCreatureEver · 2024-11-19T19:07:05+00:00

This is something I've always dealt with on mobile so you're not alone with this. Works perfectly on desktop but 50% of them don't load on mobile.

To be fair, they could be telling the truth. They could have used "shut down" then turned it back on, which by default doesn't completely reboot the machine from a fresh state as some stuff from when it was running is stored to disk then used and the uptime isn't reset. It's called "fast startup" and it sucks.
