Offline for one appication - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Is it possible to turn one app for offline mode ? Like in Airplane mode. Games uses my mobile data, so I want to make them offline, but I want to have running messengers. Change permissions of games makes them FC.
Any ideas what i can to do??

How about paid\leaked games?

I play only free games and they send/receive a lot of rubbish(adverts or who knows).

I removed permissions by Lucky Patcher not CM app and game works

you can also use an app called "DroidWall" its a firewall app that let you choose which apps will have access to mobile data or wifi independently...

Thanks a lot. I think it is better option than change all apk

I dont know how to backup just the angry Birds Saves.
Use titanium backup and just select angry birds or whatever app and data you want.

Except he doesn't have root.....
The adb backup system works, but only as an all or nothing option.
However, I've used an app called angrybirdssync that seems to work ok with all the Angry Birds versions, and doesn't need root:
Play store Link
There is also one called Datasync that works without root for some apps and I've been experimenting with 'saveshare' that uses Dropbox to sync game files..
It's really time Google sorted this out and got a proper sync system working for app data like whispersync for books - it shouldn't be that difficult to implement and if you have an android tablet and phone its a pain having to choose which device to play a game on to retain the save data.

I know it's 3rd party, but this app works really well (if you are rooted): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.quintstoffers.DataSync.beta

How do I disable apps from running in the background?

I have a D-802 on CM.
Sometimes in some other app I get a message for example 'YouTube has stopped working' then I think why would it even run in the background when I have not even opened it, I am suspicious that there must be more apps running in the background all the time which reduce the battery life.
How do I disable some apps from running in the background without even being opened?

Your right. Im sure there are more apps that runs that you dont know. Install titanium backup and freeze it from there.
Root it and greenfy them This is better than Titanium because it freez the applications you have choosen when you close them, and unfreez then automaticly when you open them

I'll try this, but I was expecting to find an app which have simple settings to allow or disallow certain apps in the background, for example, Afwall+ which greatly controls which apps connect to the internet.

Download apps only on WIFI

My data plan is limited and I prefer using my PC web browser to find new apps in playstore to install.
Is there a setting, an app or mod to use so that my note 3 will only download apps when it's on wifi?
i think you have that option in playstore it self.
under setting, auto update apps

I think this is something you can decide before installing new app. Except for updates were done automatically. Unless you are saying new apps are installing by itself.

No, what I mean is I'm using my PC browse playstore and clicked install on the apps I want to use it on my note 3. In current situation, my note 3 will then automatically download and install the apps on the 3g network which is using up my limited data plan.
Is there anyway to make it such that my note 3 will only download and install the apps only when my note 3 wifi is connected.

Maybe you can add them into wish list then install manually from Note 3 when its connected to wireless.
When you click install mean, you are telling your phone to download regardless wifi / data
Either both way from mobile device / PC

On the phone Playstore settings set update app over wifi only. Then on the PC browser login with the same google account on your phone playstore. Then on PC browser playstore go to any app you would like to install, click install, the particular app will be installed in your phone instantly.
This way if your phone is on 3G still it wont download the app. If you’re not connected to any data network, next time when you will be connected, the app will download right then.
I’ve been doing this for long as phone playstore is hard to read app details and user reviews. Hope this will help.

Currently my apps update only download when I've enable WIFI and I want my apps install (triggered by PC browser) to behave the same way.
I don't understand what you mean in bold as my current experience is my phone on 3G will download the app almost immediately upon clicking the install button in playstore via my PC browser.

What I mean, with this settings if your phone is on 3G data it wont download the app right then, it will start download when you will be connected to WIFI next time. But if you're on wifi the app will start download right then. Home this make sense.

In the playstore app on my phone, the Auto-update apps is already set to Auto-update apps over Wi-Fi only. On my PC browser, I'm logon with the same account as in my phone. When I click on the install button of an app, my phone on 3G download the app almost immediately. My setup are the same as you but I'm getting a different result as you've mentioned.
Would like to highlight again, apps that have been installed on my phone only download updates when my phone wifi turn on, I would like to have this behavior to apply when I clicked install new apps on my PC browser.
I can't test it right now because providers do not appear to be aware of thw existence of reinforced concrete houses. (G, 1 bar... If I'm lucky.)
But try this:
Turn on Restrict Background data for Google Play Store, Google Play Services and Media under settings > Data Usags > the app in the list > restrict background data (all the way at the bottom).

Clash of Clan and Hitman Sniper not working on XPE

I just got the XPE 2015 today and can't get these two app to work. Clash of Clan is just stuck at a blank dark screen. I already install the app/ reboot the phone several time.
Hitman Sniper isn't working either. The app launches but get stuck at 100% installation. I am serious thinking about returning if I can't these super popular game to work on a brand new phone.
Clash works great on my Moto xpe ... Not sure what might cause that... Are you dl on Wi-Fi or mobile network? Sometimes mobile causes errors

It's a simple game that works on $50 phone. I don't see why the hell XPE is giving me so much trouble. I did root it but I don't see how that has anything to do with it.
Works fine here since day 1.

Found the root cause but I can't fix it. I convert facebook to system app by mistake, STUPID of me but it happened. I try to uninstall it using system app remover apps but that only removed the APK file but the phone still thinks it's still installed. I go to Play Store, I don't see any option to uninstall, just disable. Not sure what to do next now.

Google eating through Sewage tank called Android System WebView. help..

Hello scholar buddies,
Yes google is eating through sewage. The Android System Webview app keeps running even when I have disabled it. It shows in the disabled apps' list, it shows disabled, but the force stop button is active time to time when I check. Yes it still runs back secretly even when disabled. This is a new sewage trick by google. Obviously for phone home stealing. How hungry one can be?
Non rooted xperia. Android 5.1.
What should I do? Any solutions?
Thanks.
Either root and delete it, or stop using that distinct browser.
Also, its not for any kind of theft. It allows your browser to display web functions which would not normally be shown due to programming limitations.

Hello buddy,
Havent rooted the phone yet, because I am waiting for a final update that will feel wholesome. Then I will root.
I have dissabled the Chrome and stock web browser, along with the Android System Webview. Isnt it suppose to keep itself dead when you have disabled it? But it wakes inside the Coffin, isnt it suspected to be definately programmed for some hidden purpose?
How did you disable apps without root?
What does 'pm list packages -d' show?

You can still disable apps through settings even without root, right? I have that option on my Nexus 6 before I rooted.

Possibly; but l guess it's ROM dependant a: if there is a disable button in app settings and b: what said button actually does.
Checking the disabled apps with the pm command listed should at least show if it's been disable via the package manager.

Yes, almost half of the system apps have 'disable' option activated without root. When apps are disabled they are totally non existant. Other apps depending upon them, either crash, or ask to install the particular needed app. No other(non-douchebag) app will pull out any disabled app. After the number one douchebag app 'Google Play services', 'Android System WebView' seems to be the douchescum sidekick.
I disabled many. All the apps obay the disabledness, except Android System WebView. It shows disabled, but poops out from time to time. After a while or the other when I check the app info, there you see the 'force stop' button is active again.

It still could be that the app isn't fully disabled; perhaps the 'disable' just turns of as much services/activities as possible.
Have you checked the pm command? (You can run that in terminal without root...)
U really need to have some clear idea about webview.

DON'T TOUCH IT! DONT DISABLE IT !
Let me explain why?
The WebView is the system organ that manages the application that run internet (except chrome or Firefox )it allows the app to connect with Internet.
So find the application that is culprit try : Gsam

Terminal emulator and enter pm list packages -d to see what package manager sees as being disabled.

Its a Myth.
I already DISABLED it. And all the apps run and connect fine without it.
the purpose of the app is to render webpages for apps that don't have a built-in browser. An example would be google login page, which is web based (likely for security reasons) for when you want to allow an app access to your google account. It doesn't even have its own internet permission. Nor does it have any other hidden abilities. Think of it as an HTML Viewer for modern internet implementations. Definitely not a phone home app and definitely not as douchebaggey as the rest of googles apps. here is screenshots of the apps components http://imgur.com/a/CzW8r

Thank you for the report )
Good wishes for you.
But there is still the question-
Why does it run anyway, even if disabled? Why this bullysh act? If I am disabling important service (according to google bots ) , then stay disabled and give me errors in the system. Why run back?
I know I am going to nail it with root, but still raising the question.
Sounds an awful lot like you are being unreasonably paranoid in a slightly uneducated fashion frankly. I have it disabled on my non-rooted phone and it would take more than a Force Stop button being non-grayed out to worry me. Rather than jumping to conclusions and displaying hysteria symptoms why don't you actually confirm that is or is not running in the running processes.
Logic. It works.
