I sometimes have the problem that Orbot is running but I can't connect to the internet. I can fix this by switching to a new tor identity by opening Orbot and swiping over the onion.
It would be nice to be able to do this without leaving the currently used app. This can be accomplished by adding a button with the same functionality as the onion to Orbots always shown notification.

As a newbie...When I start Orbot on my tablet, it says:
* Orbot is starting
This message is ok, but the onion above is already colored, which makes me think that Orbot is ready.
* Now checking whether … (this may take up to 20 minutes)
As a newbie, I have no idea what this means and if I really have to wait 20 minutes until I can use Orbot. Therefore I’m confused.
* The log messages (in the burger menu at the left) are not helpful at all.
Some of these messages say “Succeeded to connect to port xyz”, which I think is just an intermediate success message.
Does the message “Circuit (7) CLOSED” mean something good or bad?
All in all, I would prefer a more detailed and simpler status display, e.g. an onion that starts as a grayscale pie and turns one slice colored for every successful step. Clicking on each of the slices might(!) provide additional information for troubleshooting, but the simple case when everything works should be as easily understandable as possible.

I have tried not using bridge and not using vpn but still cant access them. I also tried changing location to see if that would fix it but it didnt. I have also uninstalled Orbot and Orfox then reinstalled but still nothing. Not sure what else to try.

I think Orfox should use default TBB's UA for anti-fingerprint.

There is no problem running Orbot on an x86 AVD (on an x86 host), presumably because the emulator is much faster. When emulating an ARM platform with GPU enabled, Android 6.0 is slow on a x86 host.

Try out https://apkpure.com/noroot-data-firewall/com.jianjia.firewall , and please include their
filtering to Orbot itself, so I could delete it and use Orbot natively.
I don't want other apps to connect to the Internet, even they routed by Tor.
My phone can't be rooted because there's no guide to do this.

When I upgraded to the Android N developer preview, I discovered that Orbot fails to stop Tor when requested, although the indicator button claims it is stopped. If you try to "start" Tor again, Orbot gets stuck in a loop, constantly trying to start a new Tor instance when one is already running. Stopping Orbot in the device application temporally resolves the issue.
