I have caped internet and chromecast is pulling data with the background pictures. i use chromecast to stream local content with localcast. i want to stop it from using data. i turned everything off in backdrop and set it only to an album on google+ that has a blank image. it displays my image and then goes back to the internet images. how can i make it stop using internet. any rom or hack i can try? thanks.
Cast something locally and terminate the app w/o disconnecting it from the CC. It should display the last image and wait for input eternally. If there isn't some timeout after which it will resume its usual habits. If your data plan is limited, then the CC is a rodent, for sure.
Oh, and you should use the external power supply to avoid repeating the process each time the Tv is switched on.

I have been searching for a way to do this for months. I have a gopro that has WiFi to broadcast the picture to my phone. The problem is that it turns off the data on my phone so I receive no messages and can do nothing with data. I have root, and am willing to test apps, but i need to be able to use both local wifi for the video and 4G/3G for internet usage. Thanks for anybody to help me out.

I don't get it? Anything that uses data, normally uses WiFi too. Either or.
And no...the two can't be on at the same time.

Oh...so you mean the WiFi has no internet connected. I get it.
Sorry though....never heard of such a thing as you're asking. Perhaps someone else has.
Good luck!
I'm confused. Why can't you tether the GoPro to your phone using the hotspot? Still connected through wifi but you don't lose data.

The Gopro acts like a seperate wireless accesspoint. With that said, the Gopro does not connect to a wireless network when I am traveling in a car. My phone does not have a hotspot option. I have a modified version on my phone. So when i connect to the camera it completely disconnects from everything. I do have root though. But if it is just not possible then so be it.
Thanks for Everybody's help

Yes much like that, but i need it for all data not just downloading files. if it can do it for one application, it should be able to do it for all of them. or at least select ones. I do have root so i would be able to select which apps have and do not have the access to 4G all the time.
Any thoughts are appreciated.

Well if you have tasker you can have a profile for when you're connected with your gopro and a task that disconnects, polls for messages, then reconnects. You could poll for a minute every 10 minutes as to not obstruct work flow. Or even longer if you want. I think what you want to happen is a limitation of android itself and for good reason. You'd burn through your battery on accident all the time if you could do that natively. Or run up your data.
At any rate I'd go with tasker. There's so much you can do with that it's ridiculous.

Tasker is an automation application found on the Play Store for about $3.00... In my opinion it is worth far more than that. It does have a bit of a learning curve but the benefits of what it can do are amazing. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
You can use scripts in it but I was suggesting something different. Using Tasker you should be able to set up a profile for whenever you are tethered to your GoPro so that every so often Tasker will automatically turn off WiFi for a length of time of your choosing and then reactivate WiFi and the connection to your GoPro. This process could be set on a loop every time you connect to your GoPro; this way you won't miss any pending notifications that are trying to be pushed through without having to manually disable and re enable WiFi. You would only have to take note of when it would disable the WiFi so that your pictures can be transferred through to your phone properly.
New Profile= State> Net> Wifi Connected> Your GoPro's SSID or MAC address
Task Actions= Task> Wait> 10min (or however long you figure is a good time between cycles)
Net> WiFi> Set off
Task> Wait> 1min (or however long you want it to poll for notifications)
Net> WiFi> Set on
I know this isn't a perfect solution to your problem but it should, in theory, work.

You know what, That worked perfectly. until the app tried to auto reconnect. then my phone seemed to get stuck in a loop. it kept turning the wifi on then off then on then off. it was strange. I am attempting to find a setting for it to auto reconnect and turn it off but there has been no luck so far. Thanks for your help so far.
My network provider turn off Data connectivity every 40 minutes..so i need to turn off data+turn on data everytime during download...that means if i didn't check my phone..download will pause..,until i restart data
So in Tasker...how do i disable data and enable it ...after every 30 minutes automatically
Create a Profile using time clock as the trigger to turn Off your mobile data then On again after a few seconds.

I use the time clock from 12 am to 12 pm.Then i set turn data off ...and then turn data on...how to set variable to 10seconds...i dont know that...in notification... no active profiles is shown
what happens when you lose connection? disconnected? or just no more data gets download?
if the data speed drops, you can try to watch this and have Tasker re connecting when that happens
if you are disconnected, use that as trigger.
I would prefer this over time schedule.

You can try creating a Task to turn-on mobile data that will be triggered by the opening of an application (i.e. your browser or your download app). Within this Task there's a 30 min or so delay to turn-off your mobile data then On again after 10 sec or so. Create a loop to repeat this process until you close your app.
If you're not yet familiar with creating Tasks and Profiles., I suggest you learn first from examples in YouTube. There are many tutorials on YouTube about Tasker.

my speed drops to 0.help me make a profile pls
sorry, my bad, it turns out the speed monitoring is more complicating than I expect.
maybe you can try this:
every x minute, do a http get of some simple page, than check for its %HTTPR, if this equals -1 then your connection is down.
I don't know how your connecting works, so I can't help you there.
Running any Marshmallow rom on this phone always turns the wifi off after about 30 seconds of screen-off time. This is incredibly frustrating because it breaks any app I have running in the background that uses wifi. For example netflix on chromecast always loses it's connection and I cant control my chromecast because the wifi disconnected. It's also needlessly using cellular data while asleep.
I have checked all the wifi options and theyre all set correctly. There is a whole 10 pages of complaints about this on a simple google search with no real solution provided. You guys have any ideas?
Once in awhile I keep getting the no connection thing when on YouTube. Never does it on 4g but only on Wi-Fi. I have to either turn off then on Wi-Fi on my phone or restart my phone. Getting very frustrating. I can browse the content and everything loads but when I goto play the content it just flashes that no connection message. I have noticed it gets worse if the phone is in power saving state. Already put the option to keep the app awake and not limit the background internet. Not sure what to do
Hi, so I am trying to live stream using PdaNet+, the full version, while playing video games and I am successful at doing it and the stream turns out fine. However, every now and again when I'm playing an online game, PdaNet+ will occasionally disconnect and reconnect, and then I get booted out of my online game and the live stream stops. It seems like PdaNet+ is intentionally disconnecting the connection as if it's being overloaded or something. I have a network capable enough of being able to actually livestream and play games but PdaNet+ won't allow me to.
I have been using pdanet+ for tethering my laptop and i use a lot of data. Pdanet resets the connection every 2gb of data. Maybe That's what you are seeing

Hmm, I was not aware of that. And it very well could be, I use A LOT of data every day so it's possible that the uploading just hits the limit and it resets. Is there a workaround so I can verify this is the issue?
I
do not know about any workaround. I don't stream so doesn't affect me that bad. But I noticed that not all phones can handle that load. Pixel 5 seems decent. Oneplus 6T was the worst, disconnect every 30 seconds or so. Best was Razer 2. Uninterrupted connection for hours.

Yeah, I originally had a Razer 2 and that worked flawlessly. Now I have a Pixel 5 and it can handle it somewhat alright it's just a matter of the streaming that causes it to disconnect and reconnect every so often.
