General :: How To Restrict WiFi To Certain Apps
Jan 26, 2013
I want to use another phone's data [my phone has no data] with tethering, but random apps I have installed use up data [not a whole lot, but enough].
I want to be able to whitelist which apps work on wifi. So that way only the apps I chose to allow and use will be using up the data.
Is there an app for this? I have CM10, so I would expect for the solution to be a root app. Or perhaps iptables?

We want to develop an application which should be the only one our users should use. So we need to PREVENT them using other applications. (Mainly to make the maintenance support possible - we plan to buy at about 1000 phones, so the maintenance is tough task!) Is there any way to restrict the users?
For instance, is ADW Launcher able to do such things? Or is it possible to achieve this by coding our specific replacement of Home Launcher? And what about using some ASE scripts?
I am a beginner to Android OS, please do not assume any specific knowledge in your possible answers.

I have my app in the market which is mainly for US based people as I dont have the database that is required for any other country.
So I am wondering if it is possible to restrict the app to be visible to and downloaded by only US based users.

As the thread states I am looking for a way to restrict access to certain websites through Chrome or the device as a whole. My company is releasing devices (non-rooted) that have 4g access and need a way to limit what the users can access.

I need to lend some tablets to some friends for testing an app. The problem is that I don't complete trust in them (or they are too smart or they aren't very familiar with digital products), so I'm afraid that they can make some trouble voluntarily or not.
I'm searching for something that can block the access to determinate applications of the tablet (for example: phone, settings or other installed apps) and the install of new app. Something like a limited user of the tablet, that allowed you to running only some default apps.
I've tried to test some apps that allow you to open the app just by entering a code or a sequence, but they aren't very safe. I always find a way to bypass them. Moreover this type of application don't block the install of new app. What can I do to create this sort of "Limited User"?

I don't have a data plan. I only have access to wi-fi. I've read on other sites that it is possible to download apps, and updates with just wi-fi, but why can't I?
I've tried downloading free apps, and updating my old apps, but it just keeps giving me error, and saying it was unsuccessful.
I have an HTC Wildfire.

I'm having an issue where apps won't install or update when connected to my home wifi. I have localized the problem to something with the Wifi because the problem persists over the 4 android devices in the house: rooted HTC evo 4G lte, rooted epic 4G touch, stock (non rooted) evo design and a stock (non rooted) nexus 7. With the 3 phones, play store updates with no issues when connected to 3g data and if I go to a friends house, the nexus updates no issue with that wifi. Everything else with the wifi works, I'm even posting this from the nexus 7 over wifi.
I've tried the standard clear play store data, but since the problem persists over all 4 devices, I feel it's more Internet localized.

Some apps like location tracking apps on my sons phone does not work all the time when his phones on 2g internet. But on wifi it seems to work all the time. Apps like life360 location tracking apps, remote control apps like androidlost, which uses push messages and also polling services works intermittently. Sometimes it works on 2g internet and sometimes it does not. But on wifi, there's no problem at all.
But strangely messaging apps like viber works continuously on 2g or wifi without any problems.

Wiping the device with the built in "Recovery" 2x
Factory Reset 2x -> Is not working anymore now
Wiping Cache
Creating a second Google account for the Playstore and trying this

I have just got LG P500 early this year, my friend supported me root this phone with CyanogenMod (7.1.0-RC1-Thunderg-KANG) and the Build number was SonyGenMod v1.2 Final. I really want to go back to normal settings or the best settings as I don't really know how to root/unroot or update stuff.
I just want to use the updated version of Android Market. Right now, it is very annoying that I can't go online on WIFI because I can't update apps or go in Google Play. As it comes up with some errors.

Current version of Android (4.2.2).
Want to: run apps that demand to have WiFi on+connected, even when I'm on 3G/4G. (Specifically, I'd be happy if I could get Xfinity TV Player to run on my rooted stock Nexus 4 over HSPA, but again, hoping this thread will attract info about tricking apps in the general case.)
Tried:
A) qaWifiOnlyMode.txt,
B) running WiFi Tether For Root Users and quickly turning wifi on after launching. Neither worked.

The permissions say that you must agree to allow them to delete files from your storage including your SD card; must agree to allow them to extract any information from your phone, etc. In other words they can do any thing they want with your phone and the data in it.
Is there any way to not grant these permissions and still get updates?

I'm trying to limit my mobile data usage with out jumping through hoops.
I'm looking for a widget, that with one click of a button, it can restrict background data, disable auto-sync and enable mobile data, and when pressed again, enable WiFi, disable background restriction and enable auto-sync.
This function, no matter how trivial, would save time and effort.
Is there anything like this out there? Would something like this require root?

I displayed map and on top of map, I displayed a number of overlay Items(Markers). Clicking on overlay Items or markers will do some action. But the problem is when I click around the marker, means outside the marker, at that time also, the event triggers. I want to restrict that exactly when I am clicking on the marker, event has to take place. I am doing the event in opTap() method.
How can I restrict the event triggering to exactly when I click on the marker.

I wanted to restrict an application from accessing network, so that application does not upload or download. Basically to stop rouge application from suspicious network activity.
I understand Android provides a way to limit/restrict network access for Mobile network, from Settings --> Data Usage screen. But I'm looking for a way to completely restrict network access (both mobile and WiFi networks) to any particular application.
I'm using Moto G, Android Kitkat

When at work I switch on my Wifi so that I don't use my plan data unnecessarily. When I do that it switches off 3G (which is good) but then most of my apps don't seem to connect - eg Facebook, Market, GMail, etc... So are most apps not able to operate on Wifi alone? Is there some config I need to change to make the apps be able to switch easily between 3G and Wifi connectivity?

I'm sure this has been answered but all the threads i've read are about using the internet overseas or don't specifically state whether or not all the Apps will work without a data plan through WiFi. I have WiFi access at work/school/home and am going to buy Copilot live so that I have offline maps, so I don't feel the need to get data since it is so expensive. Before I commit to picking up a used G1 I just want to confirm that all apps work without a dataplan as long as i'm connected via WiFi.
