Hi folks! I have a question. My friend has htc hero with latest official rom (dunno what it is). He is a traveler and wants gps to work without using data connection, bcs it's extremely expensive on his operator. He said, that in android 1.6 there was pure gps and it needn't to use data connection to receive location. If he uses any app like gps status or nav app without data connection, gps doesn't receive location. I have samsung device and there is an app, called AngryGPS, there i can change everything about gps settings, including SUPL server and how gps will work (MSBASED or STANDALONE). How can i change settings on his hero? Maybe by porting this app on hero? Rooting is not a problem, i can make it, if it's necessary.
added: if i turn off receiving location from wireless networks in android settings, it not helps
P.S.: Sorry for my poor english

Use iGo for android...it's easy to use and only gps is req...no data connection, i used it a time ago and was very pleased with it...the menu is a little laggy put don't worry because it works well on the phone, without having any problems.
Keep me updated if you got the problem solved

he said, that he uses Maverick and don't want to change it, he wants to change system settings to use gps in standalone mode

there are data & gps apps...so if you don't use a data connection you can't download content...that's why i recommend iGO for android
Stefan
he needs not to download content, he needs to connect to GPS without enabling data connection. Anyway, problem solved by installing patched version of angrygps and editing operation mode of gps module

that why i recommended iGO, it uses the maps preloaded on the sd card...
you completely ignore my messages? or my english is SO bad?
HIS GPS WON'T CONNECT WITHOUT DATA CONNECTION IS UP! Not the freaking nav application! Maverick uses preloaded maps too, GPS Status&Toolbox doesn't use maps at all, Turbo GPS doesn't use maps, every program that uses GPS to receive location or establishing connection with sattelites DOESN'T receive location or establish connection without data connection!
Now the problem is clear?
As i told, problem is solved
And iGO is total ****

Damn tell me that "HIS GPS WON'T CONNECT WITHOUT DATA CONNECTION IS UP" from the first time... btw this is a rom related problem...
Imagine the situation that Any data plan is not activated and as soon as u enable the data connection hundereds of thing in android want to connect to internet and when u disable the data connection again . Ur money is deducted.
Now u will ask me if i dont have a data plan why i enable the data connection.?
So here is the thing I want the data connection to be enabled so that i can open free site like facebook on Opera Mini.
So is there any way so that i can enable the data connection but my phone does not connect to internet to itself but i control which app connects. In my case opera mini.
Please tell me a way to do it. Or is there any app.
Thanks Any help will be appreciated.
Search for "Droidwall" in market.

If you are running CyanogenMod 7, you can disable the "internet access" permission for each app. You can also turn off sync and "allow background data" in settings.
Droidwall require root access and is there any firewall for android that does not require rooting.

thanks all for replying
Hello! I want to know if there is any app which works like TCPView by Sysinternals for Windows.
I simply want to disconnect active data connections, no matter if wifi or mobile data.
Does such a tool exists?
Edit: i found tools like net tools withhin i can show but dont close active connections.
Also alogcat seems to only show data connections.

I'd recommend some firewall app. Just closing a connection will not hinder the app to re-open it again. Using a firewall app, you can make sure the connection stays closed.
The shell command netstat shows active connections.
Thank you. Im alrdy using avast fw with whitelist mode and it works as it should.
I was asking because some apps dont start until they got an internet connection (even if they dont need one) or it takes rly long till connection times out so they can start.
So i thoight i could block them going online and disconnect the pending connection which is -listening- to some port and waiting for connection.

Hey people!
I will have mobile data for the first time next week, and I would like to know something.
Basically, as far as I know, mobile data is automatically turned off by Android when connected to a wi-fi. Now, my phone is a nexus 4, and since I have limited storage, I use a wi-fi external hard drive, which means I am always connected to wi-fi on the road. Now, if I want to use mobile data while I'm connected to a wi-fi network, is there a way to make it work?
Thanks a lot!
Yup, using DroidWall (free app) you can decide which apps can connect to the WiFi (you can block them all, and only allow specific apps).
Thanks a lot for the suggestion, going to look into that!
Update: Droidwall doesn't work the way I'd like it to. I can indeed block access to wi-fi for certain apps, but my mobile data remains deactivated. Is there a way to use mobile data if I'm connected to a wi-fi on a rooted n4?
I am using one application which force me to turn my data connection to continue with that app. I am on WiFi . so I need some thing which can make fool that app that my android is on Data connection instead of WIFI. I know Fake WiFi Module. But I need Fake data Module. please help me. Thank you.
