I did a search and I can not seem to find the info I am looking for. I am somewhat new to Android as I mostly use iOS devices. On something such as an Ipad it is easy to loop all traffic through your computer and log it with Fiddler or various other debuggers, but when I do it with my Samsung Tab I do not see any data coming from the applications. You can only log the data being sent by the browser.
I am wondering if there is some special mode I must put it in or an app that allows you to log the data being sent and receieved by Android Apps. I did find an old thread talking about AndroShark, but it says the program no longer works. Is there a new alternative or something I am missing.. Anyway any imput would be greatly appreciated. Thank you ahead of time for your time
Do you mean using ADB to track what's going on under the hood?
What are you trying to track FROM the apps exactly? If you've written an app and want to see what's going on, the standard Android SDK and ADB debugging /should/ get you pointed in the right direction, I think.
i think onavo count might be what you looking for, it allows you to watch your data, and see what app is sending and receiving
manual mentions nothing about Wi-Fi Direct but i was told that RAZR i supports it. my question: anyone managed to activate it?
tried with a HTC Desire X Wi-Fi Direct turned on in settings but without 3rd party apps. no success, even with Media share enabled in RAZR i settings (which is another feature not mentioned in manual, so any info for that would be also appreciated). thx in advance.
Under ICS you were able to activate WI-DI by running an appropriately programmed NFC command, however, this function seems to have been disabled under JB along with the FM radio.
Media sharing uses DLNA which is a different story, I don't know more about it, but certainly would like to
Sent from my XT890 using xda app-developers app
thx, any further info about this nfc command?
just tried 3rd party wifi direct app called shoot, but the activation setting leads to a dead end (missing widi option in settings/more) so obviously not working.
Hi guys, I've been looking into the security permissions that some apps require and I'm quite frankly bewildered why a simple torch app needs access to my phone calls numbers network emails etc etc etc - you get the picture
This issue is being discussed all over the internet with increasing concerns
So I know the Experia Z needs to be rooted to make use of any effective app that can do this sort of thing
so I want to know if anyone has actually tried any of them on a rooted phone and which one is recommended to use and works on the EZ
I looked at "Permissions Denied" but have no information that it works effectively on the EZ
Thx in advance
So I just discovered the magical world of tasker, and am loving it! Totally worth the money, and one of the best apps to have (the best if you know how to maximise its use)! I have been experimenting a bit with it, so I don't have many profiles. I'm sure many folks here will be using tasker and would be having some great profiles, so I'm looking forward to hearing some suggestions! The profiles I use are:
1. WiFi off at night, from 00:45 to 08:00, except WhatsApp, Play Store, Quora
2. Airplane mode at night, from 00:30 to 07:00
3. Use of interactive CPU governor when using Real Racing 3, and revert to lionfish governor after exiting app(Kernel adiutor profiles do this for me). I also added a condition to use auto-rotate when playing the game, and revert to portrait orientation after closing the app.
4. Auto-sync every two hours, from 08:00 to 20:00 (I would like to improve this to auto-sync only Gmail, would welcome suggestions on how to do this from any tasker experts out here )
I would love to implement more profiles and automate my phone, so looking for ideas.
Need a tasker profile which can disable my mobile data only for some specific apps.it means If I start those apps then my mobile data would automatically disabled and when I close them Data service should be enbled.If u can help on this then That wud be very helpfull
Nothing very fancy for me - right now just have it turning on my wifi hotspot when it detects my car's bluetooth connection so my stereo can use the internet.
It sounds like you are taking it pretty far, @varunadi. You should check out https://www.reddit.com/r/tasker for more cool ideas.

Yep, I am looking to maximise the use of this app, so thanks for that link, will check it out!

I'm still finding my way around tasker, reading a lot of tutorials so once I figure it out I'll let you know.

I don't know if you can disable mobile data entirely (not just background which Android can do already) for just certain apps.
Perhaps it would be easier to use something like Netguard.
I've never used it but the description says "Applications can individually be allowed or denied access to your Wi-Fi and/or mobile connection."

Can't the secure settings plugin be used for that purpose? Toggle data on/off I mean.

I was actually going to suggest that as I have it installed already but when I tried it didn't work.
The "Mobile data" toggle was unavailable because it claims I don't have root. However, I'm definitely rooted and there's no listing (saying denied or otherwise) in SuperSU for Secure Settings so it didn't even ask for root. I'm not too surprised as SS hasn't been updated in over a year and a lot of the Play Store comments mention mobile data toggle specifically not working either (among other things). Too bad as it was pretty powerful and of course I think I paid for it right after its last update.
Not getting SS working for me might just be my problem and perhaps someone else can get it going.
I was also going to suggest [APP][2.2+][ROOT] Toggle Data 5.0 (xda-exclusive free version) but then I read more about what @anks095 said which was "can disable my mobile data only for some specific apps" so I'm guessing he just wants certain apps restricted and not all (although the next sentence seems to say otherwise but I might be reading it incorrectly). I'm not too sure that can be done via Tasker/SS - my guess is that it's an "all-or-nothing" kinda thing for mobile data so the VPN thing might be the only way.
I use a similiar app called automagic but some of the things that I got my tasker like program to do are: lockscreen enable/disable through wi-fi at trusted places (don't like geofencing due to battery), when connected to the bluetooth of my car. Auto silent 5 min before a meeting, but if not connected to my smartwatch then vibrate. And lastly sms emergency location request where my family can send a keyword and my phone will automatically send location.

How is the lockscreen one working for you? I find the built-in SmartLock to be really unreliable but when I tried to do lockscreen stuff before (last year) there was some bug in either Tasker or Secure Settings that would sometimes keep your screen black with just the nav buttons visible present. I'll have to re-try now.
That sms emergency request thing sounds cool! Can the recipient open the location in Maps to see exactly where you are?
Without issues I set it so that it clears the password. Makes it so that I have to swipe to unlock. As for the location, yes it sends coordinates and the user in the other end taps it to bring up Google maps.

Thank you very much - clearing the password was the key! I had been trying before to disable the keyguard entirely so I wouldn't even have to swipe but that's where the problem/bug came in. Thinking about it that makes more sense to have at least a swipe because I'd end up calling people from my pocket by mistake. So thanks again!
Tasker...hmmm. Bought it, but much to complicated for me. Macrodroid is much easier to understand and can also do complicated automation with a normal user friendly interface. I tried to like Tasker, but the more and more I tried the more stupid I felt.
Hello folks. I've been reading a lot to fix this issue but no luck yet so I come to you. I have a Pixel 4XL running android 11, and a smartwatch brand Haylou Ls05, with the apk Haylou Fit.
The thing is I cant set the proper permissions to use the location services in the background. Mi GF has a android 10 phone and no problem.
I already tested everything I founded over the internet and nothing works. When I start running, the app goes good until the screens is off and the tracking of the running gets lost.
Any suggestion? Thanks in advance!!
Are you running without your phone? This watch doesn't have any GPS chip or functionality, so it is not going to track your location or track your your route by itself. Sorry if this was obvious already but I don't know what your use case is. On Android 10/11 you can control the location use on a per-app basis. If your watch app uses the newest API and supports this function, you will see under the Haylou Fit app permissions>>location the following: (Allow all the time/Allow only when using the app/Ask every time/ Deny). If you don't see this option in your app settings then the app itself needs to be updated. It's not the phone that is the issue, but the app. See the screenshot attached. Android 10 has this same functionality, so I'm not sure why your GF's is working correctly and yours is not. You may try removing and re-installing? Please post a screenshot of what you are seeing under location permissions for this app. Cheers.
Thanks very much for your answer. Yes, I run with the cellphone to use the gps of it because the watch does not have gps. Sorry i'm not very familiar with API, but I understand now that it is a problem of the app itself and not of android. My screenshot doesn't show the "allow all the time" item, as i would like to.
Any way to force it? like patching the app o magisk or something I could do? I like this watch very much , its small and light, and would really like to be able to use it..
Thanks you for the answer.
Agustín.

Not that I know of. I still would like to know why the app it works on your GF's phone (10) and not yours (11) because they both have the same location security options. Is the "always" option available on hers, or is it working on the "when app is running"? Running the same version? This may be related to the API used by the app and until the dev updates it, it will not work. Try contacting the dev? Contact info is available on the Google Play Store.
