As per the title, I have a question regarding push notifications. I currently own a SGS4 for which I can use for testing, however this appears to be happening for all Android devices in this environment.
Whenever an android is connected to the Corporate Wifi here in our office push notifications don't seem to come through at all. This has been noticed to be happening to gmail and facebook however is also stopping push notifications from other apps including but not limited to geonet quake and various games.
The moment the device disconnects from this wireless network, the notifications all come through successfully.
When manually opening apps while on the Corporate Wifi, Gmail for example, the new emails will successfully come through to the app if you request it to update.
Wondering what it could possibly be on this wifi network which is managing to stop all push notifications so that we may attempt to put in a workaround for staff, or alternatively, a workaround to provide all users with android devices to get these working again. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

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.
Hello,
I have an HTC ONE S, and I hoping someone can recommend an App for a very specific situation.
Recently, my employer switched to a Guest access Wi-Fi. Basically, when I walk into the office in the morning, all my settings and passwords are still saved to login to the corporate network; however in order to connect to the network I have to open my web browser, a web page will load listing the conditions governing the use of the corporate WI-Fi, and I need to click on the Accept button on the page. I'm then connected to the network. So far, so good.
Here is where I'm hoping for assistance: I typically leave the phone charging on my desk. I'll check it periodically throughout the day (or if I receive a text). The problem is that the network must sense a lack of activity after a certain amount of time. At which point, I'm no longer connected to the network and must then open up my web browser again, Accept the conditions of use again, at which point I'm logged back onto the network.
Is there an application I could install that would automatically generate some sort of activity to keep me logged into the network? I have the weather app that come stock on the HTC One S; however the smallest update interval the app allows is one hour. I thought that might have been a possible solution, but along with the 1 hour time interval, I'm unsure if it is web browser activity or of any sort of network activity that is required to stay logged in?
If this is helpful: I have Automagic installed and I've used Tasker in the past but I'm not well versed in writing scripts for Tasker.
The phone is an HTC One S
Network is T-Mobile
Android version is 4.0.4
I did root the phone as there is no SD Card slot on this phone, and I removed the bloatware to free up some space.
Many thanks in advance.
Respectfully,

I am running a rooted LGA V400 tablet with Android 4.4.2 Kernel version 3.4.0+, software version v40010e and build number KOT49l.A1403851534. The tablet does not have provisions for a data connection via a SIM card- wifi only.
I am using the connections tab in eolwral OS monitor to keep track of what connections the various applications and the OS are making with the outside i.e.. via wi-fi. I also am running AFWall + to shut down phone home garbage. I had Droidwall installed before this. Neither Droidwall nor AFWall + shut down non whitelisted connections......
As normal course of operation the ONLY applications I whitelist are
Firefox
GMail
Google+
GPS Status
Internet (the built in browser)
Kaspersky Internet Security
Maps
Navigator
Skype
Speedtest
Sun, Moon & Planets
UCBrowserHD.
As I am writing this the tablet has an uptime of 1 hr 42 minutes. The only existing connection to the internet according to OSMonitor is Youtube through 127.0.0.1:42818. Youtube is NOT whitelisted. Also please note that I am composing this post on my laptop.
If I restart the tablet things change radically. I have 19 connections either syn_sent, time_wait,Listening or Established. Most are from System although there are things like Google Account Manager (not whitelisted) Qualcom, Youtube (again) and things like Google Input Services. On the first boot of the day its is worse with more of the system connections to various IP's in various states, Kernel connections (not whitelisted) App updates(not whitelisted), Google backup Transport and its group (not whitelisted), Google Partner Setup ( not whitelisted), Hidden Person Menu (not whitelisted), Software Update (not whitelisted), and a group of others appear which are not whitelisted.
My questions are-
. If either Droidwall or AFWall+ are true IPTables firewalls how and why is all of this crap able to get on wifi?
When transport for a certain service is not available i.e. blocked by a firewall does Android do something different with the connection request to enable it i.e. the plethora of system connections? It appears to me that AFWall+ isn't working as advertised because of f these leakers-
Most of the connections appear at boot up- is what is happening that these connections are established before AFWall+ gets up and running and it does not have the ability to close them? Note that on boot up after the GUI is running I get a SuperSU notification that AFWall + has been granted root permission so I am curious about the order of things starting i.e. a lot of the connection sockets being established before the firewall is running.
Finally- the V400 is somewhat of a stepchild. Is there another version of Android I can load on this platform that will work?
Thanks to all for the expertise here. I searched the forum before posting this as well as the internet, I am experienced with Unix and Linux and have done IPTables in non Android OS'es. I find what I am seeing here disturbing. Any help or suggestions would be deeply appreciated.

Hello, I need some advice on an app.
I have constantly the data connection turned off and when I need I active it. As I'm often on the pc all important notifications (eg. Viber, Gmail, etc.) I control in real-time via the corresponding desktop applications available for PC but I miss notifications WhatsApp is not available as a desktop version (ok, there is a version that includes wifi active but is not the same thing as Viber for example).
Obviously enough I every X number of hours active the data connection to see if there is a notification but was looking for something more advanced, especially looking app that automatically every 30 minutes active data connection and control me ONLY notifications WhatsApp and that's because I do not care to have other notifications (eg. Viber, Gmail, etc.), I see already from PC. If I have to manually turn on the data connection (eg. I'm at the PC) then I want you to be shown all the notifications.
Is there an app like this?
Hi all,
I want to prevent certain apps from accessing my work Wi-Fi, mostly so my employer can't see what I'm doing. Specifically, I don't want to be connected to my employer's Wi-Fi while on Facebook, Evernote, etc.
For some other apps, I still want to use Wi-Fi to save data.
I just installed Tasker and have already a Task set up to shut off Wi-Fi for these apps. My question is: is this really secure? Does anyone think this will prevent my employer from seeing what's on my Facebook, or is there a flaw I'm not thinking of?
Ex: maybe Tasker has a delay which will allow my employer to see Facebook load anyway.
Alternatively, if anyone knows a more efficient way of doing this (in Tasker or anywhere else in Android) that'd be great.
Thanks
Question your boss is a hacker?
Because if he isn't he can't see anything in theory because he doesn't know how.
But you can use vpn connection as Hotspot Shield
so your traffic inside that network and all over the internet is encrypted.
You can also use "Firewall" for that.Firewall apps that they stop apps that you choose from getting access to internet.
if you aren't rooted try this one NoRoot Data Firewall . it use VPN
connection. So this vpn connection is local and when the blocked app tries to connect the internet it just get the localhost ip as gateway . the other apps continue to work normally.
if you are rooted try this one AFWall+ (Android Firewall +)
depends on your needs of course.
