Hello all,
I have recently had a pretty weird problem with my new LG Shine Plus which I hope you guys could help, here is what I did:
When I first sign up for the phone, I purchased a one month data plan just to try things out, everything was great and I was able to use the data plan and wifi when I am at home and downloaded quite a few applications and they all worked perfectly.
I cancelled a data plan since it cost quite a bit, however I am a student and there are both wireless networks on campus and in my residence room. As a result, I have turned off the Mobile Data Networks.
After that, all the applications, for some reason, stopped working. When I opened up the Advanced Task Killer Free, for example, it will show You must have INTERNET and ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE permissions in AndroidManifest.xml and when I tried to hit KILL selected apps, it will crash. On Bloomberg, it says android.Manifest.permissions.INTERNET permission not set in AndroidManifest.xml file before crashed, and on a whole bunch of other apps, they just crash as soon as I open it up.
However, the most interesting bit is, I was still able to access the Internet on my mobile browser (tried several website that I know I did not go before just to make sure those are not cached pages) on wifi and I can access Android market on wifi as well.
So I turned Mobile Data Networks back on in hope that would resolve the problem, but the same thing happened even with the Mobile Data Networks turned on and now I am unable to use any apps I installed I have verified that I have the apn set up properly in there.
By the way, I have link2sd installed, but it was installed while I was using the data plan, and it worked fine then, I have also had AdBlock installed, which I have already uninstalled it and even apps without any add (dropbox) is crashing at the moment as well.
Please help!
Thanks!

Hi guys,
I am trying to sort out a friends phone, he bought it from the States (and shipped it here to Australia). I cannot get a google acount sync, although logging into youtube does work. I DO have Root.
Google won't sync, and I have side loaded clockwork, but I can't flash the clockwork recovery because it says "make sure you have a stable internet connection", but the internet browser works.
Please note that I have not SIM unlocked the phone, so I am unable to do this through the 3g network.
I don't really know where to go from here - I have deleted user data from the Recovery menu, deleted the cache from the market in app settings.
How can I sync???????????????????? I am connected to my local wifi, through the account sync settings (it says I'm not connected), takes me to the screen with the wifi networks, (where I am already connected), I disconect, reconnect and still no love!!!
I have had a pretty good look, and these no market connections questions don't seem to have a strong answer, so please help!!!
Thanks Guys!
Probably not related, but since you said sync....
You check menu > Settings > Accounts > Click on your gmail account > Everything checked?
Pretty basic for your issue, but someone else had the same issue yesterday.
Hi, I did try but it had the same network problems.
However, I did manage to get my way out of hell, things are looking good from here. I backed up all my apps with Super Manager (from my personal working phone) and copied them over to my friends.
All installed, which meant I could unlock the phone, connect to the 3G network after I replaced the APNs, and then (as far as I can see) Clockwork used the data network (not wifi) to connect and flash the recovery mod. Phew.
Now I'm guessing that with a fresh ROM all will be good again.
Super!!!
I may be one of the few smart phone (HTC Rhodium / ATT Tilt 2) users who have requested to NOT have a data plan. I simply have no need for the service and have a basic call/text plan. I’ve decided to give Android a whirl with my AT&T Touch Pro2. I am having difficulty determining what services/apps/settings to disable to ensure no data usage is expended.
I have been using “Energy” ROMs for almost two years now and have been successful at ensuring no data usage is consumed. I few simple steps to turn off a handful of apps/services and I’m all set. Android, on the other hand, isn’t proving to be as easy….for me.
I have dug through the forums and searched around, but I’ve come up empty. I’ve found a few “nodata” programs, but they seem to all be outdated or for Windows Mobile. I don’t think my situation is very common, hence why I’m posting today.
I have successfully installed and used the latest Froyo build (FRX07.1, dated 01SEP11) found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171052
QUESTION:
How can I stop all data usage while using Android?
ie...
a. stop specific services/apps/programs
b. install a "no data" app
c. any other ideas?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Best way is using the curvefish 3G/ON/OFF Widget, to quickly choose when to be online and when offline.
Can still use data without 3G though? It will just be slower.
What I do is make an internet profile with blank settings on my phone, set it as default then if it tries to connect it instantly fails.

This is a good solution by-design, same I used on my old nokia phones
But if you are looking for an app to handle that, try Droidwall (market)
Allows you to restrict which apps can access the network.
This is the perfect solution if you don't have an unlimited data plan, or just wants to see your battery lasting longer.

"Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Mobile networks -> Data enabled"?
Or you can simply install from market "Apn Droid"
Hi,
Is there an app, script or something (which MUST be lightweight for RAM and battery) that would turn off background data when wifi is off?

If you enabled background data at any point, you would know that 3G and 2G networks are only used when wifi is not connected. By turning it off when wifi is off would effectively make your data connection and plan redudant.
Disabling background data while is not on WiFi
Actualy, this is not a bad and dum question, these days, that many people have limited data, I really don't want my apps and other stuff on the background access the interent and I prefer these to get done on wifi, specialy market which I really don't want it to access the internet and check for updates while I'm driving, I would like this to get done when I'm on wifi, I noticed that my phone used 10 MB / day even if I don't use it myself.
please let me know if such a app exist
You can use DroidWall to get an exhaustive control over apps. Really easy to use, and you can decide app by app if they can get internet acces on 3g, wifi, 3g and wifi or not at all.

SORRY IGNORE ABOVE!! That is not what you're asking for. But you can use CPU tuner for that https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.amana.android.cputuner&hl=en
Go to wireless
Then scroll down and last one choose
Then untick the one wich is ticked

I've tried each of these suggested options, but none of these have I found satisfactory.
The problem is that one wants to be able to retrieve and send MMS messages, without other data being exchanged (at least in my contract in Sweden, MMS messages are included in the contract, and is not counted as regular data. I'm guessing your contract is under the same premises...). So that rules out the option os switching off the 3G network.
Next, the problem with DroidWall in this situation, is that there is a 0.4kb data leak through the firewall every time the Wi-Fi successfully connects to a wireless network. Don't ask me how or why (I used two or three different apps to ensure that this was the case). Even if this data amount was fairly small, I wasn't satisfied, since I pay a correlating fee for every byte sent or recieved by my phone, and I wanted all other data stopped.
The solution I finally came to was simpler than I imagined. I altered the API (or APN) settings in the "mobile networks" menu found in the network settings in the device menu. I simply accessed the settings for my account and changed API-type (APN-type), so that it only said "MMS" (erase "default" and "supl"). The only flaw with this option is that one has to fill out "default" in this Space again if one actually desires to use 3G data for some reason. Anyway, this has worked solidly for me for a couple of months (no data leaks).
Hope this helps you!

Hi
I am trying to connect to my office wifi via proxy server.
Scenario 1: I am using Samsung Bada (wave 1), connected to the internet successfully and also any applications that require an internet connection including Samsung's app store.
While, connecting via open networks like home wifi and other friends' wifi also worked without any issue.
Scenario 2: Now I also have an android based Galaxy pocket: even after entering all the required proxy setting as mentioned above, I can access websites via browser but cannot access samsung's app store, google's play store, skype, sipdroid etc.,
I know it is nothing to do with the network administration as I am still accessing via my samsung wave but not via android. Please help me in identifying what I am missing. Is there anything like a network profile I need to assign for these applications?
thanks

Figured out the solution
Sometimes it is pathetic to notice that I didn't receive a single suggestion after I posted my question above. This is not how it used to be when we had smartphones that were just running windows long time ago.
There were lot of suggestions that comes up within a few minutes of posting, now after the invent of android and so many devices we have so many members but knowledge sharing has decreased considerably as each person is busy with solving their own issues.
Well, let me come back to the point - All that I needed to do was to run an app like 'proxydroid' or 'auto proxy lite' from one of our members from xda-developers to solve this issue. In order, to run these apps the device needed to be rooted. I rooted and installed this app and from that instance I am able to make all my apps including skype, google app market and what not all can access internet from my corporate wifi.
However, I noticed that only one application never succeeded this trick - that app is a Voip/SIP application called 'Pronto dialer' which throws a message 'unknown error occurred'. It works fine in an open wifi like at home etc., I am suspecting the proxy setting in the office network clashes with the proxy setting in the dialer...dont know what it is. Anyway I am glad and relieved that I was able to solve 90% of the issue.
Hope the above will be useful for someone with similar limitation from corporate wifi.
hey all. in need of some assistance
i have an h830 running on cricket
i cannot access any google services while connected to mobile data (gmail, play store, drive/docs, etc). works fine over wifi
all other connections (web browsing, ssh, remote desktop) work fine, it's just google services
i don't think this has anything to do with cricket, as i don't have this problem on any other phone if i swap the sim card out
i'm running this deodexed nougat 20f build https://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g5/development/jan-17-2017-20c-deodexed-kernels-t3539611
though, i do have a 20a stock rooted nandroid backup which has the same problem
i have tried:
restarting, toggling data on/off
force stopping and clearing cache/data of all google services/apps/download manager/"media" app, restarting
wiping cache/dalvik
trying with battery saver on and off
making sure google play services and "media" service both have the following CHECKED/on: "background data" and "unrestricted data usage"
making sure "limit mobile data" is NOT checked
edit: and everything in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/help/play-store-downloading-nougat-update-t3530277
to top it all off, i even tried setting up an openVPN server and a shadowsocks server (similar to VPN, traffic tunneled through encrypted socks5 connection). again, while connected to either VPN/shadowsocks through wifi, google services work. when on mobile data, it doesn't work (in both cases i confirmed i am still connected to the VPN as far as the outside world is concerned)
since it doesn't work even over VPN, i feel like it must have to do with some mobile data restriction setting somewhere
anyways, i'm baffled. unusable for me as a daily device without gmail/google services working over mobile data
so maybe this could help someone diagnose the issue:
it is resolved, temporarily, if i toggle to 4g/HSPA+ only mode (settings -> mobile data -> mobile networks -> "GSM/WCDMA"). it is still fixed if i toggle back to LTE
i'm not quite sure what causes it to "break" again. maybe when i connect back to wifi, or change cell towers, i dunno. but it always breaks again (all internet things work except anything related to google services) and i have to perform the toggle again
just to be clear, toggling airplane mode does NOT work. i specifically have to go to 4g/HSPA+ mode, then google services start working, and they keep working if i toggle back to GSM/WCDMA/LTEauto mode - until it stops working again for whatever reason
so... any ideas for a resolution?
if not, anyone know a way i can easily add the ability to toggle modes as a shortcut? thanks
edit: used quickShortcutMaker to at least add a shortcut to that screen, but if anyone knows a scripting tool or something i can use to directly toggle and cut out that step, much appreciated
I have exactly the same problem. Can someone revisit this issue and offer some ideas? Thanks.
same exact thing on the h830 i bought for a friend. she's on cricket and lte refused to work with google play (wi-fi is fine). did the toggle to hspa and everything worked, so i switched it to lte and it's still working.
i don't want to root it and delete the hosts file from the system, but that's what i think the real fix is.
