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 ****

Hi Guys,
I've been looking for a solution to my problem but found nothing solid so far.
Case looks like this: I'm traveling a lot. In Malaysia (where I live) I have unlimited data package and I don't really care how much data is downloaded by my apps via 3G or WiFi - in short, i don't care.
Problem starts when I'm traveling - if I'm abroad, I'm trying to minimize 3G data usage to save some money. Problem is that many "data hungry" apps start downloading the data as soon as they detect there is internet connection available. Most of the apps doesn't care if it's 3G or WiFi data connection. Some apps allow you to configure if they can use 3G or WiFi only - but not all.
I would like to be able to control if particular app has access to Internet via WiFi only or 3G+WiFi. Is there any way to achieve this?
P.S. O course - it would be a "dream coming true" if there was a way to control if App can use WiFi only or 3G+WiFi or "WiFi+3G (local) and WiFi Only (roaming). I don't this something like this exists but ... it would be nice
Thanks for hints in advance.
I don't know about this feature of turning our android device into Wi-Fi repeater until I come across this app Fqrouter2 and the sad part is, it's not working currently I don't know the reason, it's even pulled down from the Play Store. Is there anyone in development interested in making such app or already trying? I searched the internet and couldn't find a similar app like this, it has other features as well but Wi-Fi repeater/extender caught my eye. If anyone can come up with only Wi-Fi repeater/extender feature app, that would be great. Thanks.

AFAIK most devices/wifi chips can use either AP mode (WiFi Hotspot) or connect to an existing WiFi. I guess it just works with some devices/WiFi chipsets.

Even I was under this impression for long time. I got to know with this App you can use Wi-Fi and Extender(Hotspot) simultaneously.
Edit: It works only on rooted devices, I can install the app but unable to execute it on both Marshmallow and Kitkat.
I wish there is one. Wifi extender/repeater is a catching feature

Try netshare-no-root-tethering on Google Play, tested and works on my Marshmallow device. You connect to a wi-fi, turn on the netshare app, and it creates another wifi network like mobile hotspot that other devices can connect to.
So does FQrouter2 still work on Android 4.2.2? Or did it require ancient versions of Android to work?

As far as I can tell, this is the only working app. Tested on AOSP Marshmallow Galaxy S4 - I took my sim card out to make sure it wasn't using mobile data, and it works! Shares your WiFi as another network. Unfortunately the app is ugly as all hell and doesn't let you change the name or password of the hotspot. Plus it requires you to use some dodgy proxy thing so it's not quite as good as fqrouter used to be. Anyone know of any other apps?
EDIT: also doesn't seem to play well with HTTPS

Hey mate! Do you have apk of the pro version of this app? Thanks.
Alternative
By the way, i found this similar app in Playstore which is completely free. ) See attached.
It still requires a proxy to be able to connect the devices.
Unfortunately, I need an app that will repeat wifi without the need for a proxy, as the device I want to use it on has no options to enter proxy.

Works fine open netshare app hit install swipe away new tab then set it up using proxy ect. If using for pc go to control panel internet opt hit connections set up proxy. All are the same 192.168.49.1:8282if using hot spot on another device must have both apps installed on both phones. Won't allow connection to fortnite servers can log in. Won't allow login to battle net as well on pc. But can dl files and use web. Your welcome

I th ink I shared that link right idk if i gotta select people or it's open never done it b4. I'm looking mg for a way to connect to fn servers and login to battle net for cod4. Anyone got a solution?
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.
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.
