i need help on answering a question. my phone has been shut off but i am still able to do eveything but make regular phone calls and text without an app allowing me of course and i have "data enabled" in my settings. im using text free right now tho and it works fine. but my question is, since my phone is shut off, if i turn off "data enabled", will it no longer allow me to browse the web, market, text ppl and among other things? does having that enabled allow me to do what im doing even tho my phones been shut off?
When you say your phone has been shut off, Im assuming you mean you do not have a mobile service for it.? If that is the case you can turn mobile data off. You can even put the phone in airplane mode and turn wifi on and save some battery.
heyy

sorry i cant help u man. my phones a moto backflip.
If you get google voice you can have a phone number and make and receive calls, as well as have a voicemail. You might try doing that then downloading the app to your phone so you can link it and use the Google Voice Number.

Try a file manager like ES File Explorer or another app along those lines. Also if you want to move your apps to your SD card you could download several apps for that as well.

hmmm... i might give that a try. then my phone will be like a regular phone
does that mean i can use skype too?
Yes, as long as you are connected via wifi it should work for you.
Google Voice will allow you to place calls over wifi ONLY IF you have/are in mobile coverage. If you do not have a mobile service, YOU WILL require an app such as GrooveIP to place calls over wifi w/o a sim.
Internet Lock enables you to protect your Wifi and Data Connection by setting up a secret PIN. Nobody will be able to connect Wifi/Data Connection unless they know the secret PIN.
I created this application after my prepaid balance got exhausted numerous times due to my kid clicking on some ads which will cause data charges
The application prevents incurring data charges due to accidental clicks on ads or delibrate attempts to use internet on your device.
Simple, Effective and Lightweight!
It does not require complex configurations or anything, you can just install the application, setup a pin and get protected in seconds. It is very lightweight and requires very less disk space and memory.
The application can be downloaded from google play store play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.msappz.internetlocklite OR downloaded from attachment.
Great

Good work buddy,

Thanks
Hello forum !
I just found this app because i try to avoid an accidentally switching on of mobile data on my parents tablet.
You know, it's very easy to switch mobile data on by just pulling down the bar on android 4.2 and click on the mobile data switch.
Unfortunately this happened a few times to my parents already and with their prepaid card, every activation of mobile data is charged with 2 Euro (per day).
I tried out this app on my phone today, but for me it seems that it activates mobile data first and only after that asks for the code.
But in this case, the 2 Euro would already be gone ...
Is this correct or is the app really blocking all traffic until keying in the password ?
I'm not able to try it out on my parents tablet right now, so i would be happy for an answer.
Thanks
Thorsten
Good work buddy.
Nice app .
You don't know how much did you helped me ?
in the login screen, press home button then you can go internet. useless app
App is not working.
Hello, last week my father gave to my wife a Verykool s5017, yea, OK, no jokes please, a gift is a gift.
The problem is, that is connected to mobile data, but can't send whatsapp, can't browse the web, is connected, but don't got Internet.
Any help? Any idea, please.
Thanks in advance
Does it support 4g? If yes then if I were you I would try to visit some website on the browser and then try the apps. ALso try restarting the phone or see the data settings to check if everything is fine there.
hey guys, so I've been playing around with my new hw2 and I have noticed a somewhat issue,
the watch seems to be using my phones connection to wifi through bt, because I turn off watch's wifi and it still has internet connection, but when I turn off phone's(or watch's) bt, theres not internet on the watch any more
my home wifi network has wpa2 password and it is saved on my phone and also it shows up in saves networks list in the watch, but when I turn off watch's bt and turn wifi on, it wont connect to the network! what should I do if I dont want to use my phone and want to use the watch directly to connect to home wifi network?!
edit: when I tap the add network option, my home network wont show up! is it a defective unit?!!!
When you connect the watch to wifi, you should get the option to connect through phone to the wifi. When it connects, you should be good.
The problem is the network does not show up so I cant connect! It does not find it!
That is weird. It should show. If this persists, wipe the device. If you still have the issue then it may be a defective unit.
guys did you update to the latest version? if nobody else has this issue Im gonna send it for warranty...
also someone please tell me how long does it take for the gps to locate position without phone??
If you are using any app besides Google fit, less than 6-7 seconds. Google fit defaults to phone unless phone is not close out disconnected. In that case still 6-7 seconds.

Im actually talking about google maps, assuming that I am connected to the phone for internet but want to use watches gps instead of phone, because in my test I waited for about 10mins and google maps was still searching for location...
Hi,
i have the 4G version.
when i'm going running (without mobile at all as i don't have mobile^^), watch ask me to activate position i not already tick in prefs, and i get GPS working under 10s, max 15s when outside.
Therefore, i haven't test on google maps, if i have time il will test and tell you.

Hi,
ok, i have install google maps on my Huawei watch 2. here are my results :
A > my watch (with simcard) is pair with a phone with no SIMcard at all. This phone have bluetooth OFF and wifi OFF . So phone is not connected to internet.
B > first test : with A and watch with no BT, no wifi and no data (SIM not activated) : google maps start, GPS icon is searching localisation but no maps is visible, about ten or 15 s, gps icon become a compass, so in my opinion, GPS find my location, but as i have no internet connection, google map cannot show the maps, so the screen is empty (i don't know if i can predownload map in watch in local)
C > second test : with A and watch without BT, without wifi but WITH data (SIM activated) : google map start, GPS icon searching for 10s, maps is visible, my location is ok and the position circle become smaller and smaller as GPS refine. BUT, when i select if theres a POI, he ask me to connect the phone AND if i select a point to go, he ask me to connect the phone .
D > third test : with A except only modify WITH wifi ON + watch without BT, without wifi but with data : exactly the same of C results : so data LTE cannot connect to phone wifi (seems logical)
E > test four : with A except only modify WITH bluetooth ON + watch WITH bluetooth ON, no wifi with data : same results as C, with the difference that google maps don't tell me to connect the phone but say that it cannot find any POI, and cannot calculate the path to destination (so even with data on watch + bluetooth on phone, nothing is possible except finding localisation)
F > last test : with A except bluetooth ON and Wifi ON on phone : and watch data ON and bluetooth ON : gps ok, localisation ok, POI are finding (by phone and sending to the watch i suppose) and when i pick a dest on watch and ask for path, google maps start on phone and calculate the path, wich appear on my watch then (i precise that at this moment, google maps on the phone tell me tha my watch have to activate it's own GPS during travel).
G > if i exit BT, wifi on the phone, the watch immediatly lost the already path... so it isn't store on the watch ...
FINALLY :
> We can say that the GPS is working well on my watch (even with no map, the compass replacing GPS icon is the witness) : so kianush you can verify this point on your's.
> we can say that google maps cannot work standalone on the watch : sim data only can show maps and watch gps localize position and show it, but NO POI or destination way ! If you want that, you have to connect watch to your phone, wiitch have to be connect to internet by wifi... and when you move, you have to get your phone too, if not, the path of destination is not in the watch.
I can tell that, google maps, is not a good apk to verify if your GPS is ok or not... the problem may be google map in fact
For me, who use SIM card in watch only and never use smartphone, googlemap is not usable at this time, because even i i get my phone with me, it will lost internet wifi connection and as it do not have simcard, it will never connect to internet for POI and Calculate path.
Hope this help you !
POST SCRIPTUM:
> i have try your configuration : i disable simcard connection in my watch and only activate bluetooth.
On my phone, i have activate bluetooth and wifi (no GPS activated on phone).
In this configuration, the watch gps find my position, so as GPS is OFF on phone, we can know that's the GPS watch is ok.
but notice that the watch tell me to connect to phone for POI or path !!!!!!!!!!! In fact, you have to connect with androidwear (via bluetooth) on phone, and then all work.
wow man! you really put your time on this, thank you very much! yeah I already returned my watch as I suspected the gps was not working, after 10 minutes of running google maps gps icon was still grey and there was a text saying still finding location! But I wonder how it could track my steps though!
also in what position were you testing? I was testing it at home at night (under the roof)
---------------
edit:
today they called me and sent a video to me showing that the wifi is working with no issue after factory reset, that's strange because I already did disconnect and reset the watch to see if it fixes the problem! could it be because of the phone that I paired it with? it's a xperia x compact with 7.1.1.
anyway they will send back the watch and I will try to test it again and see if its ok...
Im still not able to see any wifi ssid on my watch and also saw some other people on the internet talking about this issue in AW2
if anyone knows a fix, Im all ears...
Update:
So I today a was able to make sure my watch is not defective and its somehow a software bug or problem!
I disconnected and reset the watch to factory setting
then cleared the data and cache of google play services - android wear and google play store apps
Then after the watch started up, before pairing I long pressed the power button and went to wifi option there and in "add network" i was finally able to see my router and other available networks in the area!
Then i cleard all saved wifi networks on the phone (just in case it was related) and pair the watch to my phone,
and bang! Right after i confirmed the bluetooth code and it was showing that its looking for update, i went to settings the same way and I was not able to see any networks anymore!
So I decided to do these steps again and factory reset my watch and pair it to another phone(mine is xperia x compact with 7.1.1 and the other phone is galaxy j3 5.1.1), and still before pairing it showed and the moment I paired it in amdroid wear app, watch's wifi wont work anymore!
I also noticed that if instead of selecting the watch in android wear app, i just connect my phone bluetooth to it from phone settings, the phone will connect and the watch wifi is still working, but the watch wont pair and it keeps stuck at "searching for updates" screen.
So the might be something wrong with android wear app, or something else!!!
Please guys if you know how to fix this help me out
My watch is bt version leo-bx9 with build number N7176C
If there is a newer rom please give me instructions to flash, but I dont thinks its related to the rom...
WiFi issue fixed
Hi friends, I had this problems until last week, I connect watch to my phone and connect phone to WiFi for having internet, I ran VPN on the phone and go to watch and check for updates, I found the update via VPN, before I use VPN I didn't able to check update.

Please help me too as I am having this problem, so what country or vpn did you use? Did you have to format your watch ?
Ok this is weird and I dont know why this happens but if I reset my watch and connect to my ipad using wear os. I strangely get my ability to view wifi and have wifi on my watch for the first time. Now some things did change like the tutorial looked different on my watch.
Ok so I tried to reset and reconnect back to my watch and it seems that it wont work soooo. I guess we have cleared out that its not a hardware problem meaning not defective but a bug as stated. So pretty much our phones are doing something that the watch then wont accept wifi or somthing.
Now if i cant get it to work i guess I will have to sideload or using usb adb to put something that allows two devices to be connected to the watch.
