Apps can block wifi data but not mobile data - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, i have a Samsung Galaxy S3 mini, custom rom 12.1-20160209 unofficial golden. I have tried using multiple apps that can block internet access (internet lock lite, internet lock, data lock lite etc) the problem is that they work only on wi-fi, and on mobile data the password screen is useless, even if you enter a wrong password it still doesn't close mobile data.
On permissions i have everything enabled and i have root app acess enabled in developer options. The weird part is that permissions have stuff like phone book, location, wi-fi etc BUT no internet data options.
I am at a loss, i've installed over a dozen programs hoping one would perform the simple task of password locking both mobile data and wifi, and all have failed.
Thanks in advance.

TyTn II + Blackberry Connect + At&T = no working Internet Explorer

have BB Connect installed on my Kaiser. I am able to get emails successfully over Blackberry and gmail. However, I cannot use Internet explorer over MediaNet.
GoogleMaps, the weather plugin, QuickGPS, etc can all get the data they need when connected through MediaNET but IE will not load any webpages. Also, if I connect to a wireless lan, the same thing happens. IE can't browse, but other apps access data just fine.
Any thoughts on how to fix this? There are no options to config connections within IE and the connection within settings seems to be correct (how else would the other applications be able to use MediaNET?).
Are there some proxy settings I need to change or fix? I was able to browse the internet with IE via wireless lan or medianet perfectly fine before BB Connect was configured.
Note:
I can launch BIS for internet explorer and use the Blackberry connection instead of MediaNET. Obviously though this is not optimal as BIS has lmited sites, low res pictures, etc.
I've noticed the same behavior. It happened when I opened the "email settings" icon. This opens pocket IE with an extra menu item. Since then, wifi works for all programs, but pocket IE just gives me a blank page...
Did a hard reset, and never used the 'email settings' thing again. Everything is fine now...
I've noticed the same issue. I've set my connection to medianet using the proxy, noproxy isp.cingular.com and wap.cingular.com. All other programs are able to get to the internet (google, live search, BBC internet explorer, etc.) except for the standard IE. I don't browse too often, so I use the BBC browser when I need one.
thanks all ... i know now not to click the email settings button ... did a hard reset and all is well ... MediaNet full web browsing kills BIS
Internet Explorer inoperable
Help please! I am using the Kaiser and have the following issues.
1. There are 2 capital 'E's in the top. One that says Blackberry Edge and the smaller E says Tmobile Blackberry Edge when tapped
2. I can not simultaneously use the browser to access the internet at the same time that I am using the blackberry service to access emails. One of the 2 must be suspended.
In other words, I would have to literally suspend blackberry in settings to go surf the web.
Does anyone have this issue? Can anyone at all offer assistance to correct the settings so both can work together.
Any leads greatly appreciated!! Michael
i am having the same problem. did not find a solution. started using xpress mail
Hi,
I have the same problem with my HTC Kaiser and T-Mobile Germany.
The funny thing is that T-Mobile doesn't support Blackberry on this device.
I just installed the BBConnect_WM6_Professional_BB_41.0.0.84.cab and restarted the device and was happy that all works fine. I got all my mails from company BES server, includes the security features which lock the device every 15 minutes.
If this will work with Blackberry mail for home users, I don't know. I tested the BBConnect only to our company server.
I have the same problem like users here has in this threat:
I can't use the Internet Explorer to browse in the Internet. That problem still exist on WLAN and on GPRS. I turned off the phone part and try to use WLAN, but I have the same problem.
I guess that the Blackberry Connect will modify the Internet Explorer (like other parts of the device) to enable security features.
If I use the Blackberry Browser I got the message that the service is not supported. I know that some colleague had the same problem with their Blackberry (Hardware device) and called T-Mobile to enable the service.
I can user Google Maps, IMAP-Mail profile, Weather software and other stuff from the Internet without problems (WLAN and GPRS), only the Internet Explorer and Media Player has problems to connect.
To solve the problem I will talk to the BES Admin or / and T-Mobile. If this will not solve my problems, I will install Opera Browser, which will hopefully work.....
Here are my versions:
Rom: 1.56.111.4 - 09/01/07
Radio: 1.27.12.32
Protocol: 22.45.99.07H

You have to go to registry:
hkey_current_user->software->microsoft->windows->current version->internet settings
and delete enableautodetect entry
This solve the problem for me

You can modify the registry key 'EnableAutoDetect' key found in the registry location:
[hkey_current_user\software\microsoft\windows\curre ntversion\internet settings']
The default setting (that uses the proxy) is:
"EnableAutoDetect"=dword:00000000
(To disable proxy) Change it to:
"EnableAutoDetect"=dword:00000001
The best option is to delete the registry key (which I did) since some posts indicate this registry option gets set to 0 after a reset.

Hi,
I changed the IE settings EnableAutoDetect from 0 to 1 and everything works fine.
I tested Opera Browser as well and it's fine, but I don't like the Bookmark synchonisation, this is better in IE....
Thanks a lot
Erik

Create a custom "hidden proxy"?

Hi Guys,
Does anyone know how i go about creating a hidden proxy? I tried looking at the settings of the at&t hidden proxy but can't seem to figure it out...
The problem is I cannot use the proxy setting under connection settings because it is already in use. My cellular operator has a monthly data plan of 100MB for 7,5€, but is limited to http traffic. This limitation is enforced by the use of a http proxy.
I'm running a http proxy server at home and would like to chain the proxies so that all requests would be formated to go to my server, through my operator's one. Is this possible?
Alternatively, does anyone know of a program that would allow me to chain proxies?
Thanks
I would also like to know if it is possible to create your own hidden proxy.
I use my tilt on T-Mobile and am also using the proxy to allow me to get unlimited internet access with the T-MobileWeb (Formerly T-Zones) for 5.99 a month.
However, using the proxy I am unable to use Apps such as remote desktop, windows live messenger, etc because for some reason they don't work with the proxy.
I was thinking that maybe using this hidden proxy instead of putting the proxy info in the connections settings would allow me to use these apps.

If you cannot properly setup a visible HTTP proxy (for WiFi), how could you even think about an invisible proxy?
This device is crappy.
Almost
This looks like the beginnings of an excellent application, however, does anyone know of a program that will automatically switch various settings based on GPS location? I have been digging around for months trying to find a solution that will allow me to set up various "profiles" based on my GPS location, e.g. silent/vibrate, medium brightness, gprs connection enabled all other data connection disabled, while I am at work, and wifi on while im in major metropolition areas, and off while not, etc etc.. is this a pipe dream or has anyone stumbled across something similar?
also Im not sure why you want a "hidden" proxy, but this might be your solution:

[Q] Problem: WIFI vs Mobile data connetion

I have a question regarding internet connections:
When I use WIFI connection, I can use all internet applications; Internet, Gmail, Daily Briefing, ....
When I use Mobile Data connection (GPRS), all Samsung applications says that there is a connection problem. For example; I cannot update the weather on Daily Briefing, etc.
However, all android application (like Internet, Gmail, FB) work without problems.
I thought that this is a problem with stock room, however, currently I am using JP3 and the problem is still here.
Any idea why is this happening?
Seems to me that your internet mobile provider is blocking some ports
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Is there generally anything I can do to open those ports?
nope, they are blacklisted by your mobile provider
check if your APN is set correctly
Home screen -> Menu-> Settings -> Wireless and network -> Mobile network -> Access Point Names
Maybe "internet" is missing?
@freshko:
If I followed Irt01's steps and I have:
Planet internet and a green radio button.
I only used "Samsung Apps" once and it didn't want to work over 3G, when I enabled WiFi it worked flawlessly. I don't use any other Samsung's apps because there are better alternatives on Android Market.
Hej Yanni.
I sent you a private message. Did you get it?
1. make sure you have a data plan.
2. make sure your APN is configured properly
3. check that you are able to browse the net
4. try to sync with your gmail account on GPRS/3G
if that works, you should be able to run other applications, unless those ports are black listed by your cell phone provider, like for example FTP, IRC, Skype, MSN and other stuff like that
Probably they are blocked because as I said. I can browse internet, checking gmail, however, I cannot update weather from Daily Briefing. My data connection notifications goes from H to 3G, than back to H, and then I get: data connection error.

[Q] Disable Internet when connected in wifi

hey guys,
I'm currently using a galaxy note and i was wondering if there's any way to disable my internet but to keep me connected to the local network when I'm using a wifi connection? thanks in advance.
use a firewall service like droidwall from the playstore. and apply the rules with whitelist with none checked. You need to be rooted.. or you can modify your router settings and give the phone a static ip and then from access restrictions disable http, https pop etc access to that IP
thanks alot, droidwall works just fine :good::laugh:

Question [CLOSED]Browser mobile data problem

I use Duckduckgo as the default browser on my Zenfone 8. If I disable Wi-Fi connection it does not connect to the internet, "Web Page Is Not Available", even though the Moble Data connection is enabled.
I definitely have not exceeded my mobile plan's huge download limit so I can't figure out why the browser won't connect?
Any ideas I could try or settings that might fix this problem?
Thanks.

Thanks, but I have the correct APN from my phone service provider.
is it only this website or everything?
I have two browsers on my Zenfone 8. I discovered that they will only work at home if Wi-Fi permission is enabled. I'm puzzled because I thought if Wi-Fi was off they would connect using the Mobile data connection.
Outdoors both browsers work whether Wi-Fi is enabled or disabled.
In Developer options I have enabled "Mobile data always active - always keep mobile data active, even when Wi-Fi is active for fast network switching".
It's not an important point, I'm just curious why the phone won't use mobile data at home even if Wi-Fi is unavailable (which is sometimes the case where I live).
