Database Develop

Searching for an on/off Data-Connection app...

I´m looking for an app which easily let me swtich between Data-Connection on/off.
I´ve tested APN on/off widget and one which is called Toggle Data.
Both start and stop the data-connection correctly, but a few seconds after stopping the connection starts again, think thisis a HD2 specific problem, because these apps work with other phones.....
Has anyone found an app which works with the HD2 LEO?

there is a widget pre-installed that's called power control, i use it to turn on/off wifi, data, gps, and display light. I don't know if every build has it.

The build that i use has no widget called power control.....

There's plenty of widgets for this on the Market. Just do a search on there for things like "power control" or "control widget" etc..
I use SwitchPro. It's a paid app, but only cheap. It's VERY configurable and I highly recommend it.

I have tested Switch Pro.
When I try to enable/disable data connection, nothing happens.....

Are you using Gingerbread? I only ask because Gingerbread doesn't play nicely with some apps, and I found a lot of the toggles didn't work with Switch Pro on Gingerbread. I'm back to Froyo now and they all work perfectly.

Yes I´m using gingerbread.
Ok i guess this is the problem.......

Hi,
I use data enabler, its free to download from the market. It does not allow to turn off/on data connection, but it takes you to mobile network menu and with widget placed on home screen you get fast accsses to it. Works on Gingerbread without problem.

I recommend Quick Settings free from the market,does the job nicely.

Check on Market 'CurveFish'
Go to market and type in 'curvefish' They have a bunch or widget toggle switches for free. The one you will be interested in is their 'APN OnOff' app.
*Edit* Tried it, your right, turns off and then back on again. Sorry.

try Dataswitch its a free app

Agree -...it´s free and works perfect for me! (Rafdroid 2.3)

Try widgetzoid, it can do that and much more, one of my must have apps!

Apndroid works best for me, especially combined with 3g watchdog, makes sure i can't go over my limit

I use Dazzle Widget. Also allows me to move Wifi, GPS, Sound, Brightness, Bluetooth, etc all to the homescreen with a widget.. Works wonders

What ROM (if any) are you using? Anything 2.2+ should have the option to disable/enable data connection from the power menu. Otherwise, the extended controls widget worked well for me.

Widgetsoid works great for me.

2g/3g widget by Curvefish

I use apn toggle by curvefish, fast, easy and nice to look at.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App

I like several of the curvefish widgets. You should try the battery widget and the vibrate widget.

Thanks alot guys for the response, appreciated it very much..
I picked the widgetsoid2x, as what the above poster mentioned it runs really good and it does what it says in the description..
I Recommended that app..
Thanks again!

Best App for Data Monitoring

looking for a good data app that will notify me when i'm reaching my limit.
I have 6GB which is plenty but i download a lot of tv shows on the fly and always cut close. So any app that i can set a schedule to worn me or even turn off data when i'm about to hit my limit? Would prefer one that is free.
So on this discussion anyone know a good streaming site for TV shows? MX Player + MU was prefect for streaming but now that's not the case since MU got shutdown

I've used 3G Watchdog for years, it's excellent and plenty configurable.

I get a text from att when I'm at 65%

I guess i have to use the Bell self serve app. Wish they texted when used 65%.
3G Watchdog is nice but i hate that it has an icon in the notification bar and is an ongoing notification the pull down.

You can turn off the icon in the settings. Don't know if that gets rid of the ongoing notification (personally I like that part).

I use an app called "Quota" from the market, you can login to your ISP's webportal to see what they THINK you have used vs what you think you have used, I find it works well

i looked and did not see that option nor one for the ongoing notification

There isn't one for the ongoing notification, but if I go into 3GW, hit the little gear icon at the bottom, there's a 'Notification Icon' section in the settings, with 'never visible,' 'always visible,' and 'visible if 3G is active' options.

I used to use 3G Watchdog but I wanted to find out WHICH applications were the data hogs. I now use My Data Manager Free.

+1 "My Data Manager Free" works well

My Data Manager Free is just what i as looking for

ICS will solve all of your problems.

I started off using My Data Manager Free, but so far I've found Onavo to be much more accurate. Both months I used MDMF it was off by a few hundred mb. So far Onavo has been accurate to a few mb.

Watch on in notification bar

Ok this is driving me crazy, randomly the app watch on will pop up in my notification bar. I disable it and it will just pop up again at a random time. Does anyone know how to permanently remove? besides freezing it of course

This just started happening to me the other day. I don't understand why because it hasn't done it before. I too disabled the notification and it automatically turns itself back on. I cleared the data and started over but that did not help. I froze the app with tbu a little bit ago because I rarely use it. It is frustrating because that is one of the only Samsung apps that I like. I too would like to know of a fix for it.

holllly cow. I have been battling this for 3 days now. I thought it was just my phone being supper glitchy. I have gone as far as to uninstall the app... witch will stop it from comming up in the notification bar. Then i re download it from play store. After about 4 reboots it comes back. I will set it in the setting to not come on in notification pannel. Boom its back. No way to stop it..... same with a few other apps. Its like they do not close the correct way and do not save the settings. My swannview dvr app is one more that wont save settings because it won't close correctly.

I don't know if this narrows it down but I noticed when I had wifi turned off I never got it but the second I turned it back on it started popping up again.

I have the same problem. This morning, while trying to disable the notification bar setting again, I got nag popup about allowing Watchon to use mobile data or only wifi. I selected the allow mobile data option and do not ask me again. Now, I can't find the setting to change it back to see if that would affect the notification bar problem. I don't want to test all of the settings because I would lose the devices that I have setup. I assume the problem is caused by an update to Watchon. The only thing I have changed recently us switching to Nova Launcher. Could this be related?

Judging by this I would assume it is the location settings that is triggering this. Try to go to system settings > More > Location services > My places > Choose the places and click none. I can't confirm this works, but it seems that this is triggering for the problem. Also note this isn't a great solution; other location services may be affected with this change.

This is caused by the latest WatchOn update.
I use WatchOn since the day I get my S4 Active (2 months ago) and this NEVER HAPPENED before the update.
I had to disable WatchOn with TB.
Another example of Samsung messing up good stuff!

It has nothing to do with location services. All of mine were already set to none, and I have the same problem.

Sorry then, it must have been the WatchON lock screen location settings I was thinking of. No clue, honestly.

So did this ever get worked out? I just got the note 3 and am already seeing this behavior.

SOLUTION!..
Here is how i disabled remote control on notification panel and lock screen.
Its on Watchon Settings.

watch work done
This is what I did:
Settings
More
Application Manger
Samsung WatchOn
Remove the check for "Show Notifications"
This doesn't stop the program from starting on powerup, but it removes it from the notifications.

This is a thread that should be closed. The problem was fixed by an update. I can confirm that it did exist at one time, but the only people that still have thre problem either have not updated or they have not changed their settings.

I don't understand what you mean by "put all apps to Wifi".
I do know that if you have a wifi connection with internet access (no ! on the wifi status bar icon) and mobile data turned on, then the system will use the wifi connection in preference to the mobile data connection.
If you don't want to use mobile data, you can just turn it off in Settings>SIM & network>Mobile data or from Quick Settings if you have it there. You will still be able to get phone calls and SMS.

mate let me explain
I want to try the free Facebook, so I need to turn on my mobile data for this.
so I did that but I don't want other apps use any data in background so I set all apps to "WiFi Only" also I did that for system apps
but my problem is even when I do that, it's still showing that I'm using mobile data and something using it in the background.
it was working alright on the android 7.
thank you!!

Ah, now I understand.
I assume that you can't tell from the Settings>Mobile data usage who is using the data?
I don't know if this is off any relevance, but there's a number of apps that have unrestricted data access (Settings>Apps> Special access>Unrestricted data access).
Have you considered running a network activity monitoring app?

I know the problem now
probably I have to disable the first choice "background data"
but I should do it for each app... and I have more than 130 app that's impossible...
