Version 1.7 release

We have solved the Qin F21 Pro problems by supplying a separate app to handle the accessibility filter operations on the F21. As part of this, there is an additional apk file available for download that needs to be installed in addition to the main eGate apk on the F21. On all other devices, no additional apk is needed. Note that all configuration is still done through the main eGate app. There is a new option in the Accessibility section name “Use external accessibility service” that tells eGate to use the additional app.

Because the accessibility filter is now a separate app on the F21, you need to reboot to fully apply configuration changes.

I’m happy to hear your feedback on this.

So no need for ADB commands I guess

43

For the extra accessibility app, that is correct.

44

I should note you can still shut off the accessibility app

45

From the Settings App?

46

Yes…(We really need to get rid of this 20 characters limit)

20 Character Limit changed to 5.

Also, version 1.8 should clean up most of the configuration problems that are the root problem of:

48

Okay now we’re talking, this update is working great, I can shut down the egate filter without the accessibility being shut down.

Thanks for all your hard work!!!

Any update regarding disabling the dns option with accessibility?
Also having the option to disable any activity with accessibility would be great (by typing the activity name)

50

Yes, the latest download should autoblock if a dns option is set and the accessibility filter is turned on.

Version 1.9 available.

This version adds a single change. When the external accessibility package for Qin F21 Pro phones is being used, eGate now automatically blocks its from being uninstalled.

In general, would there be any use for a feature that would allow you to select a list of apps that can’t be uninstalled? It would be quite easy to implement.

52

For sure, I think people will find that pretty helpful to have some apps that they can block from uninstallation.

53

Update is working great.
Good work.

54

I turned on accessibility and set dns filter but i can still change it at the settings

55

Can you get me a screenshot of dns settings? It’s possible it is slightly different than on my devices.

Also, I uploaded a new apk for Qin phones to the 1.9 release. This update has one minor change where it doesn’t allow you to view the app screen for the external accessibility filter so that you can’t stop it by hitting the Force Stop button. You will need to reboot after installing the update.

56

Amazing work, the force stop button is blocked.

57

If I already have the egate filter and paid for it for the qin can you provide me the update and additional apk free of charge?

58

Ok, I just installed the update, now the app just crashes and doesn’t open and can’t be uninstalled, any solution?

59

Try reinstalling and restarting your phone

It didn’t work, the filter is still active, the egate app won’t open.
