From experience, no matter what you do, your phone will still continue to ping 1e100.net every few minutes. This may just be something innocuous, but there just is no way to get rid of this behavior (or to understand where it's coming from).

1e100.net is for dns resolution and captive portal detection.

> adb shell settings put global captive_portal_mode 0

will disable it.

Doesn’t LineageOS with MicroG strip out calls to Google servers?
