I've been having an issue with not being able to DISABLE data saver after initially enabling it. This option is not available under "Battery and Data Manager". This causes your market downloads to load only over Wifi. Same thing with some emails/web dowloads etc.
The fix is: In TiBu, go to the Music app and clear its data. Next time you start it up, it will alert you about data saver. At that point, click Settings and it will allow you to disable data saver. viola!

I've been searching around for abit and couldn't find answers, so please share if you have the answers
1. This feature, does it always update automatically? Or we can set it to do that only on Wifi, not on 3G? If so, How can I configure this?
2. Occasionally, the notification bar show "Market updates available" - is it the same thing? If not, How can I disable market do the upgrade check in background?
Thanks

1. When you install and application, and then click it again in the market, there will be an option to "Allow automatic updates"... you'll also see this option when Market detects an update is available.
2. Not the same thing... if it was automatically updating in the background, it would disappear from the notification bar... I'm pretty sure if you press Menu->Settings in market, there is an option to check for updates only while on Wifi.
About point 1... don't think I was very clear... I mean if I select the automatic update option, does that mean it will automatically update in background, regardless im on Wifi or 3G? Or it could be configure?
some one have an answer pls?
I would really like the auto update, but i don't have unlimited 3G package here in Vietnam (its really expensive for unlimited)
please someone know the answer pls

Don't worry you can configure that through market application...there is a tick box in every application were you can untick this and then you can update application when you want to
don't let it update automatically, i had it this morning; battery at 80% and noticed that it was downloading at gprs and 3g speeds(I bet it took him a few hours updating)
haven't had anything like that before, just since i'm on a different rom =/
Sadly I don't think you can control updates for the market online when on Wifi. If roaming data is very expensive for you I would suggest disabling it and only enable as and when you require it (hold down the power button and push "Data Network Mode" to activate/deactivate it)
thanks guys!
i have mine set to update automatically, as i have a 6GB data plan
so i'm not worry about the data usage
and it is AWESOME! everytime a new update is available it updates on its own
finally no more clicking update and clicking to confirm
Off topic but how much is data and phone calls in Vietnam? I'm interested in Vinafone
$3 = 300MB/month
call is about $0.05-$0.07/min
-> these are in country rates, not roaming.
Hi Folks,
I've discovered that for my Nexus 7 3G (Android 4.2.1) I can't restrict the background data for individual apps.
When I go to Settings > Data Usage > then select any individual app > Restrict background data (on the top right corner menu), it not only restricts data for that app itself but ends up selecting the restrict background data setting across all my apps!
I know this because 1. An exclaming mark pops-up in the notifcation bar saying "Background data restricted; touch to remove restriction" and 2. after restricting background data for one app, all my apps listed in the Data Usage tool also has the "restrict background data" box ticked.
I've included some screen shots of an example..
1. I go to Data Usage and make sure the Restrict Background Data box for all apps is unticked.
2. Then I go into an app that I want to restrict background data for... e.g. Flipboard
3. Within Flipboard's Data Usage screen I go to the top right and tick the "Restrict Background Data box"
4. A disclaimer box comes up and I select Ok.
5. A Notification bar exclamation pops up saying Background Data Restricted - Touch to remove restriction.
6. Going into every single app in the Data Usage tool I can see that restrictions have been applied to all other apps that I didn't initially restrict e.g. Gmail and Facebook.
Really appreciate your help on this as I frequently travel for work and some places I stay at have capped wi-fi internet usage which is why this is extremely important for me!
Thanks million!
How does this help everyone as a daily users.
Thanks in advanced!!!

Hey guys, so I'm totally new to this forum and have not had any experience regarding flashing/rooting/etc., so please let me know if you need any more infos. Thankful for any help you can provide
A friend of mine has recently "upgraded" my Galaxy S3 Neo (GT-I9301I) with Cyanogenmod 12.1 (12.1-20151007-UNOFFICIAL-s3ve3g) and (after having fixed the annoying camera-issue that seems to arise quite often), we have come across one major problem we cannot seem to fix:
WhatsApp and Telegram can NOT send or receive any messages if you are outside of WiFi-range. Within WiFi-range they work fine, no problems whatsoever. But as soon as you go outside and have to rely purely on network access, they just don't do what they are supposed to do. However, all other apps requiring internet-connection work perfectly fine outside of WiFi range (e.g. Google Chrome, GMail, Traffic Information services etc.), so there MUST be network-access.
Here is what we tried in order to fix it (without any success):
- DroidWall: We checked and unchecked and checked both boxes again (always applying the rules), so now the apps should have full access in and out of WiFi-range.
- We uninstalled and reinstalled both apps.
- We went into the App settings and checked if everything was set to "Allowed" instead of "Ignored" or "Always Ask".
- We went into the in-app "Settings-menu" of each app, in order to find any option that might restrict access - we did not find any.
- Simple things like restarting the phone, clearing app-caches, resetting the network-provider etc. did not work either.
So here I am, hoping that some pros among you have an idea how to proceed Thanks a lot in advance!!

Whatsapp needs an internet connection, ofc it want work because you have not an internet connection, if you are out of the wifi range than turn mobile data, be careful it will cost you some money
edit: maybe you dont have good signal
Try to reflash the rom, and check again. Also check if restricted background data is enabled (globally or specifically in these apps): Settings > Data Usage. Click on these apps and check the toggle is switched off and try to switch it on and off again. Also check in the main Data Usage page, clicking the 3 doted menu on the top right to be written "Restrict background data" and not "Allow background data"
Check your APN settings. Maybe a WAP-APN is selected by default. These APNs block Data on some ports. I had the same problem on my device after flashing CM12.1, the default value was wap.vodafone.de instead of web.vodafone.de

That did the trick! You, sir, are a lifesaver!! :good:
Been looking around but I can't seem to find anything similar to what I am looking for here that isn't dated 2011-2013ish.
Being on Sprint, with an Unlimited and Unthrottled account, and with limited WiFi access. (Sometimes ****tier WiFi than Cellular even), it makes restoring a phone after a clean wipe annoying as hell as if I leave it to use cellular data, anytime it hits an app > 100M the Google Play Store will just sit at "Downloading" or "Waiting for WiFi" until I clock on the app, hit stop, then hit download and uncheck the "Only download using WiFi".
Since Google Play has no ryme or reason to its downloading, (Why in 2016 can it still not just download something else when one hangs? Why can't you pause a download? Why can't you download more than 1 thing at a time? Why can't it download Smallest to Largest app, or Alphabetically?) it makes the restore process a sort of clustertruck as if you don't let the phone restore properly, it doesn't restore some of the data and other bits for certain apps and settings ( I have a Titanium Backup of it all so I am not unprepared, but it saves me some time getting things up and running once again).
Is there any known way to get rid of that WiFi limit so I can just download an app without it trying to Data Block me for each big app? I wish there was a "I have 'Unlimited' Data. Shut up and take my bandwidth!" checkbox I could set and forget.
I'm trying to figure out if there is anything besides the normal intelligent control/optimize/don't optimize that could be affecting an app working in the background?
I use Google Messages on both my phone and PC (messages.google.com) to keep from having to pick up my phone a billion times a day. I had very few issues with my phone showing as "Connected" in the web app with my OP7P, but within a minute or two of locking my screen on the OP8P, the web app shows "connecting" and won't typical work again until I wake up my phone and open Messages (waking the phone alone isn't enough).
Messages is set to "Don't Optimize" in the app settings, just like it was on my OP7P. Is the 8P more aggressive about letting apps stay awake?
**EDIT**
Google Messages is the number one app under "detailed usage" at 11% for the day, so it's definitely not for lack of running. Maybe it it's just an issue with the app on this phone.
I'm using mine now, Mac though, but it works from home too.
Haven't changed any settings for battery optimization.
Forget computer on messages for web.
On phone, force close, clear data, uninstall app.
Reboot.
Reinstall app, reconnect to g messages via QR
Also im using the app not the web version, seems to work better.
