Hey
It started yesterday and android OS has already drained 105 Mbs of data from my cellular network
That is, with Background Data restricted
What can I do to save my modest 700 mb 3g connection ?

You can analyse your traffic with e.g Traffic Monitor app and restrict data connection for apps using a firewall like droidwall.
Traffic Monitor show you Data usage per installed App.
Will that firewall run without root??

No
There is a firewall that works without root. It acts as an VPN.

hi, a friend of mine had a request to prevent the demo android phones placed at his shop from being locked by customers. how can i prevent the pattern/pin/password security locks from being activated, or how do i remove this feature from the demo phones?
thanks
Turn it off in settings???¿¿¿???
If you're talking about after it has been locked, reflash the software if it doesn't have a fastboot/bootloader/recovery reset.

If they're connected to wifi then install "unlock with wifi " on them and hide the app?

he's been doing reflash every time a phone has been locked, and its getting on his nerves as this happens almost on a daily basis. is there a way to rip the security pattern/pin/password functionality from the android framework? or is there any apk that we can remove from /system/app that will disable this functionality?

i think wifi is out of the question as he doesn't want passerbys to use his wifi connection for hacking/illegal purposes.
You can just lock down the WiFi with WPA2 and it will most likely not get broken into.

Download one of the many app locks and just password protect settings and then turn the pattern lock off..
//edit- Inside of the app lock see if you can only password protect display settings.. so customers can at least play with the other settings

Unlock with wifi is an app that uses trigger(a known wifi location) to unlock the screen...
It's not a tethering app.
So, what is this in reference to?
I'd expect that he might have a wireless router in a cell phone store already. And would know to encrypt it.

Does anyone know of an app out there that forces certain apps to only use the Data connection, even when on Wifi? I have a few apps that my company blocks but would like to keep updated through out the day. So if I am on a Data connection for that app, I can work around the Wifi block issue.
Thank you in advance

Looking for just the opposite. I want to restrict certain apps to data only, and not use wifi.
Dude, this is a BA app. I like it.

I have rooted my s3, the problem am facing is, am not able to update my apps on mobile data/3g, whereas I am able to do that on Wifi.
Apps get downloaded on mobile data / 3g, but not able to update the existing apps. If I touch on update the download bar comes up but the update doesn't start at all. Please help.

There is an option sometimes to disable updating apps over data under settings on the app store.

Hi. I was wondering if anyone knows of an app that tracks data usage and will turn off my data connection when the cap is reached but also has a password option to keep my kids from turning the data back on after the cap. Or just a parental control app for controlong data usage. Any ideas

Hi
Is there a way to monitor my WiFi/3g trafic by say a day?
In the Data usage menu I can only see whole months as periods...
Tell me if there is an option to enable this or suggest me an app for that please.
Gotta debug some battery issues...
Also is it me or with lollipop they removed total uptime from the battery usage app?
