Hi,
I'm facing one particular issue. I had used noroot firewall in my nexus 5 unrooted device to limit data access. However, recently, google applications like gmail,youtube,play store etc was not able to access my wifi (showing connection failed) whereas it can access data connection. However, using Chrome i can access wifi connection successfully, so I believe its not a hardware issue. Same is the case with google now, it doesn't work using wifi, but works in mobile data. I believe its because of some setting change caused by noroot firewall. Please help.

Using a great firewall requires root permissions imo so I suggest you to root and use AFWall+.

Same issue, doesn't work wifi :/
Maybe using GPS for data ?
(Sorry, i've nothing to do today and i'm tired )
It wants data to be enabled (specifically background data.) If you're by a wifi connection just use DroidWall and block off everything that isn't wifi using the blacklist option (or just whitelist wifi)
Also, as far as I know, GPS doesn't work like that.

The GPS thing was a joke
What app can you use to trick your phone to allowing you to use cellular data when it normally would want to use wifi.
I dont think this is possible although after a quick good search, I found this:
http://www.ehow.com/how_12175977_make-android-think-its-wifi-3g.html
I have no clue if that actually works but what are you trying to do, anyway?
use google talk without wifi. Download apps from amazong without wifi. There was an app called 3gunrestricter for iOS devices that was very handy.

I am able to download apps without wifi. it warns you that it is a big file, then it asks if you want to use wifi or wireless carrier.
Also to use google talk without wifi, there are MANY different methods. You can use an app called GTalkEnabler if you are rooted. Otherwise, some ROMs already have it enabled. You can do it manually by modifying the databases as well.
Thanks. WOnder why there isn't just an outright app that enables the ability to spoof 3g. Whenever I try to download an Amazon App, it tells me it needs to be on wifi and wont download until I am connected to wifi. I'll look into the gtalkenabler.

in the amazon app, you can change the file size as to when it forces you to use wifi. its in the settings menu.

Hi,
I am looking how to prevent an application to connect to internet either on wifi or on data network mode.
My problem is that some applications are connecting, in background, to internet and I would like to restrict it.
For example in windows, you have a firewall and you can allow or prevent each program to connect to internet.
Thanks.

Hi there,
I'll explain what's wrong here, I have a Samsung S3 i9300 with Android 4.3.1 (SlimBean) and everything works fine. Only when I turn on WiFi (tried several), my internet acces is limited to the google site, and some apps like Facebook and Whatsapp. But when I try to navigate to other websites, I recieve a -Not found- error.
So it seems like technically everything is ok (otherwise I also couldn't open google in my browser). Other devices connected to the same network do not have this issue. I tried to change DNS settings (e.g. 8.8.8.8), but this is not possible in 4.3.1 as far as I can see.
Any suggestions are welcome!

Does it happen on a particular WiFi network or any WiFi?
Is your WiFi hidden?
You can try making Android forget this network & again manually setting it up.
You can also check for any App that may be restricting WiFi traffic
EDIT:
You can change WiFi network settings even in 4.4.2 KitKat
Long Press your Wifi -> Modify Network -> Check 'Show Advanced Options' -> Change IP Settings to 'Static'
Now all settings incl DNS will be visible & you can change them.
I tested several networks and they're not hidden.
I use DroidWall, but uninstalling this does not have an effect unfortunately. Also forgetting and reconnecting does not help.
[EDIT]
Thanks for the tip, however this also does not give me access to the rest of the world wide web..

Did try using some software such as Wifi Connection Fixer?
Also did you try using different browsers on your phone?
I was having such an issue with ebay.in on the stock browser my i9300. But the same thing loaded perfectly with Chrome.
Clearing the Data & Cache of the stock browser helped later on.
I will try the Wifi Fixer, thanks!
I tried two different browsers without luck, and it is a problem beyond the browser imo, because the Play Store also can not download apps when connected to WiFi. I can search for apps, but when I want to download them, it gives me a -no connection, retry-..

If nothing works, I guess you might have to reflash your ROM after clearing the whole data & cache.. :crying:
IMO, CM11 M2 (Android 4.4.2) is quite good, just flashed it on my S3..
Well, I now changed the DNS settings to the google DNS server (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4) and rebooted the phone and this did the trick.
I don't really understand it, but I am glad I can use my phone without wiping it completely again!

Enjoy using your phone once again!
The app works and I changed the mobile settings to ipv4..it still is using the hotspot data..does any one have all the correct settings? Thank you and thanks to all the developers for their great work.

I have been noticing that on the lg g4 and now the v10 that mobile my account shows small usage of mobile data but not the actual amount I used. I might just be a mobile thing. Not quite sure but I too saw the same thing. But I also watched a week's worth of anime on my laptop via router and only was a 20mb increase in hotspot usage.
What are your mobile settings and the app settings? Thanks

Did you go their site? They have specific instructions on the site for LG phones on T-Mobile for instance.

I used all the same as the stock apn except I changed to ipv4...I assume you're rooted. Did you turn off the wifi scan setting under wifi?
Yes, I'm rooted and the scanning is off. I have even emailed the developer of the app. His last response was that I need a vpn.
There must be some sneaky software tracking whether you have tethering enabled. My Hotspot Data is being used/throttled no matter if I'm behind a VPN or tethering to another Android phone.
I'm rooted, removed all of the suspicious looking system apps, and set the APN settings to what I've always used before. I'm at the point of giving up and probably just going to use another phone to tether until a stable custom ROM is released.
I used to have this problem on my old Note 4 where the WiFi Tether app was working perfectly but Tmo was still tracking my data usage. The workaround that I found was to connect to a private VPN on my laptop. I used Private Internet Access to hide my IP and then I was able to tether off my phone with Tmo no longer capturing data used. I'm not sure if it will work on my new v10 though since I haven't gotten around to rooting it yet. I think there's a free Google Chrome extension that will do that same thing and for free. I forgot the name, sorry.
On my note 3 the guide I followed said I had to change the build file in a couple spots and then it worked perfect if that helps u guys out at all I really want this but can't use a vpn bc ps4 won't allow it with online gaming and my phone all I got out here in the woods
