Hi Guys, I have a D802 International version.
I think, there is a data sending when you connected to the Internet. It is from the Android System, I don't know what data and where it is send to.
I didn't noticed it before rooting and installed Droid Wall.
When I have my phone rooted, I blocked internet access on Android System. The first time connected to the Internet, my phone raised an error message said that there wasn't Internet access, but browsing, WA, Play Store,email,etc were okay,.
So I traced this error and found out that the error was from Android System.
Since there many packages on the Android System, I couldn't determine which one that sending the data.
On my Nexus 7, I also blocked Internet access on Android System and can connected to the internet without any problem.
Can you confirm that your phone have the same behavior? Is there any tools that can use to inspect which package that tried to sent data?
I'm using afwall+, see attachment for my para(noia) profile setup, everything needed works like that. International 802

I am using Droidwall, settings are almost the same with yours, except that I didn't give access to root - Application running as root.
It is works fine with me.
What I am talking about is Android System, this one that trying to sent something to the net, the first time you connected to the net.
In your firewall, did you give access on Android System to the net?
If so, try to block it and see what's happen then.

That's what i meant. As you can see on the screenshot i don't allow internet for the system and everything works fine. No message from system about lack of internet.
Also make sure you disable CarrierIQ from System, General, Backup and Reset, Collect Diagnostics and uncheck Allow Diagnostics.
Cheers!

When I go there the settings force close. I think i restricted that on day one with this phone but i would like to check. Don't find anything frozen in titanium or blocked in xprivacy or afwall that should cause this fc.
Also: install xposed framework and xprivacy to control which data you don't want apps that need internet to send home.

I didn't have problems disabling it, I even froze the system app (rooted). Mine's T-Mobile branded.

That is not what i mean. If i give internet access to root, of course, it won't be any error.
I don't wan't every apps has root access to access the net without knowing by me.
Take a look at attachment. With that setting, i still can browsing, WA, check mail, etc.
I guess, something from LG's stuffs burried in Android System trying to connect to the net, and since it has no access, err msg raised.
Except that root apps can do whatever they want even if you block them... the root thing is an old habit from when i was on 4.3 on my previous phone, under which i had to allow all rooted apps to have access to the net in order to have access at all.
Anyways, i blocked rooted apps now, rebooted and still can access the net without any error messages. Why not install afwall+ and see if it works the way you expect it to work?

Check your firewall log. On nexus 7, I didn't get err msg, but after looking the log, there are numbers of Internet access blocked.
I found it who is trying to sent/receive data from the net. It wasn't LG, it is Google.
On the log, here is one of the blocked ip address : 74.125.235.32.
See if your log recorded same address.
What the hell they are doing, spying on us the minute we connected to the net?

They take your location whenever possible and also collect data for whatever they would like. How do you think they know how many people are running each version of android and things like that

Of course they are, that's why we use firewalls, to at least try to make it a little bit harder for them.
Here's One part of what afwall blocked for me over the last. 20 minutes:
AppID : -1
Application's Name: Kernel
Total Packets Blocked: 91
93.184.220.20(1)
74.125.232.115(4)
74.125.232.100(2)
74.125.232.110(14)
54.246.159.107(2)
74.125.232.111(1)
54.230.44.185(3)
173.194.71.84(1)
149.126.74.114(11)
108.161.188.129(5)
173.194.71.95(6)
74.125.232.98(13)
108.161.188.154(7)
108.161.188.224(9)
166.70.171.101(1)
74.125.232.107(2)
173.194.71.108(9)
So, I guess, this is a standard proc when you use Android, you must let Google watching over you

Is there a firewall app which blocks all traffic like the personal firewalls for PCs do? With it you could
- whitelist certain apps for all destinations e.g. Google Earth, GMail, browser
- whitelist certain destinations in general e.g. *.google.com
- blacklist certain apps e.g. SuperGameButWhichAlsoPhonesHome.apk
- pops up if an app tries to connect to an yet unlisted destination and blocks or allows by default
The problem with permissions is, it's all or nothing. E.g. I want allow most apps to connect to Flurry or GoogleAnalytics to help the developers improve and understand the usage or if it uploads pics to facebook, but if an SMS app reads my SMS and also has the internet permission (probably for ads and analytics), who knows they're not also transferring my SMS?
Editing the hosts file is not an option as this would only be a blacklist and also very tedious to maintain.
Of course you need root access and it also needs to be open source for it to be trusted. I'm thinking of an addonn for CyanogenMod or so.
I'm not really all too familiar with firewall stuff, but found this for you: http://www.droidsecurity.com/droidhunter/index.html
Then maybe it's overkill but that one combined with this: http://www.carrotapp.com/2010/04/10/app-protector/
Might do the trick?
Thanks for your efford but I am looking for something completely different. A firewall is an app which controls internet traffic.
DroidWall would be perfect, but it doesn't function.

It works fine for me on a g1!
DroidWall does not prevent Wifi connections at all.
As such, as a firewall it's next to useless.
It's more a "3G data connection" limiter than a real firewall.

I don't understand your problem with DroidWall. I don't even have a data plan, so I only use it for Wifi. Sometimes I forget I have it installed, open a program that needs internet access, only to find that it won't work until I allow it to have the access through DroidWall. Works everytime.
I cannot download files from my PC i.e. jpgs, vids etc... I subscribe to easynews and when I tether my HTC Hero 2.1 using Wireless Thether v1.60 for root users nothing happens.
I've noticed the same problems when using hotels wifi's where it notices that it's a large file and it stops downloading.
From the phone itself it downloads fine, but when I tether to PC it does nothing. Do I need to proxy somewhere?
thanks
Hmm, I don't know that many others have this problem that you're describing. Try updating your version of Wifi Tether. I believe there's a version 2.0 out, perhaps that could solve your issue.
See here: http://www.appbrain.com/app/android.tether
I think you can also upgrade it directly from the Market.
Sounds like a problem with your PC's wireless device.
Try uninstalling it from device manager (I'm assuming Windows operating system), then reboot your computer, let it reinistall the hardware and try it again.
No, it's not the PC... I tried it with three different ones. It's something SPRINT does from preventing downloads of big videos and sound files. If I use a datacard on the PC it works fine. The problem is when I tether. I have noticed that when I use a proxy site and then go to easynews.com I then can download without a problem.
It seems like Sprint might put some type of restriction on certain sites... can that be true and is there a way around it?
thanks for any info
Solved problem by installing PaperBus "you can use paperbus to access blocked web sites and bypass internet filters and such."
Now when I tether I can access easynews. Like I said, it seems that Sprint blocks downloads from this and perhaps other newsgroup services.

No... they do not
If an ISP where to be blocking a particular set of information from any site - you wouldn't believe the hell that would be unleashed upon them by the FCC and nerds alike.

1- Root will not affect play store app in any manner.
2- Not sure what did you mean by 'home WiFi and phone WiFi'???
3- Anyway, try the following:
a) Make sure the internet connection is good. You can use any web browser to check.
b) If the Wifi is not successful, try to use data connection (G/E/3G/H/H+...)
c) Make sure the Google account is valid (user name/password)
d) Try to reboot the device.

Sent from my SM-N900T using XDA Free mobile app
I have a rooted Note 3, TMobile, n900t. Any ideas on how I could block access to the Internet, as well as access to Google Play, but have my downloaded apps, such as gmail, still function? I've recently joined a Sexaholic Anonymous due to my porn addiction and need some safeguards in place in order to continue using this phone. I realize when there's a will, there's a way, I just want that way to be as near impossible to access. Possibly even something that would block access via password someone else enters.
Thank you for your help.
Hey , Use Android Firewall+ from Playstore :good:
As far as internet access blocking goes , AFwall+ will get stuff done for you.
For additional app security and locking with password / pin , try AppLock
* Both apps free from playstore
About a week ago I consistently cannot update apps over Wi-Fi anymore. It will be able to browse the web on Facebook Instagram Snapchat and everything just fine but I cannot download app updates on Wi-Fi. I've reset the app of clear cache everything and it just refuses to update applications. If I go to LTE it will update just fine. Any tips? I have a 1 terabyte unlocked S10 plus Snapdragon model USA

Interesting, i'm guessing we're talking about Google play store unable to update apps via wifi but does it perfectly fine over cellular data. If we are talking about Play Store does it download the update but unable to install it or does it flat out cannot download the update at all?

Correct. Itl get to either 49 or 99 percent and stick. I've tried going DHCP and still nada. All other devices can do it easily. I guess a reset may be in order. Stupid Samsung x.x

Something in your settings is blocking play store from verifying something look into your dns settings change them to stock original and try. I was using DNS changer on my s10+ to block ads and i had random issues where my play store wouldn't show anything.
I'm 99% sure your dns is blocking something play store needs i just can't put my finger on it

i thought that but i have no apps that change DNS. Only app that technically does block ads is kiwi browser. it only happens on wifi so idk. my network is setup using the same DNS servers and nothing else has issues at all. ive reset the play store app, checked all updates firmware software etc. i reset settings too and even enabled unmetered wifi ( which made my wifi 3x faster)

If you have a friend or neighbor try using their wifi and see if it lets you update apps that way if it does then there is something in your router a setting that your phone doesn't like if it's the same then it it's something within your android that's blocking it
Didn't get to try that but out of nowhere it suddenly started working again. Updated 3 apps and downloaded new ones just fine with 0 network changes.
