How can I save my mobile data ? - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi I have a few apps installed and some of them will provide notification when I am on my 3G, is there a way to disable notifications for all my apps at one go or do I have to manually disable it 1 app at a time ? also are there any other ways like a firewall or something.

Yes, there are some firewall app (I dont remember, you can search on Play Store).
But you can open Settings > Data usage > select an app > select 'Restrict background data'

Mobile Data

Hi.
I use the app Quick Settings to turn mobile data off when i am done using my phone. But the data always turns on automatically after a moment. So i am forced to then Manually go into settings and turn off mobile networks.
Anyone know why this is happening ?

Not sure if it's related but have you checked if AutoSync is enabled? This *might* be the cause.
Settings >> Accounts and Sync is where its at.
Auto-sync is off.
I didnt have this problem before the OTA update. Using quick settings i cud easily switch on and off my mobile network. now i have to go in deeper using the phone settings and turn off the network.
It could be that there is a slight incompatibility between your Quick Settings app and the recent OTA update.
I'm using PhoneWeaver and ahve recently amended profiles to switch on/off the data connection. This mostly works but occasionally does necessitate me to manually switch the data connection on/off as required. To be honest I only started using this functionality after the OTA update.
A worst case scenario would see you effecting a factory reset, just installing your Quick Settings app and see how things go.
I'm getting the same thing. Hadn't occurred to me that it started after the latest update.

@mjehan
try with HTC widget
Widget --> Settings --> Mobile Network (simple widget) or Data Dashbord (Bar)
Re-installing the quick settings application did not fix the issue. Mobile Data still randomly turns on.
Will test the HTC widget now and see.
HTC widget solves this issue.

Anyone know how to set this up I will be letting my girlfriend and kids use my tab so I need to be able to login an out of my accounts to keep mainly my girlfriend out of my accounts like Facebook email thanks for any help

You could try an app called Invisible Protector. You can use it to lock your apps, but instead of the app showing up as locked it will show up w/ a FC error, and you can then use several different ways to access the locked app. And the only place the Protector app shows up is in the Widgets list. They also have one (Invisible Protector II) that doesn't show up at all. You have to dial a command to get to the settings.
For example I have mine setup so that when the error pops up it gives me an option to send an error report and in the next field I just enter my password and the app loads.

But there is administrator under settings but I can't get it setup

That administrator option under settings I believe is to enable administrator features to certain apps - for instance allow a find my phone app to enable the GPS without going through the warning dialog, or enable a wipe app to remotely wipe the entire device's memory without confirmations if you lose it.
Ok thanks that's to bad I would love to have a guest account

Thee is a developer asking for testers for just what you are asking for look in the bottom forum section for apps and themes

I think this is the thread
Use this with a app lock program.
That being said, there is no 'non-hackish' way to do that. While the kernel supports true multiuser, the rest of the OS doesn't. The Admin stuff in the settings is for locked-down devices integrated into corporate networks (i. e. you're only allowed to use apps approved by your boss and installed by your admin and your device gets wiped if you try to get around it... though it can be made less strict)
I also use an app to lock thing down. Only I know of

The lockdown works via certain apps that install security hooks in your device -- basically giving them the ability to remote-wipe the device or do other funny stuff without your consent. The only app I know of that acually uses this is Junos Pulse, used to access Juniper SSL VPN networks (mostly in corporate or university settings), though I guess some of the 'remote admin' capabilities of antivirus tools use the same mechanisms.
The bottom line: Your app may actually use the mechanisms I described in my earlier post. If you want to check, see settings -> location & security -> device administrators.

I noticed this post on the Gtablet site. It looks to do what you are asking for. Read down the the last post on page 1. I have not tried it yet so cant verify whether it works or not.

Facebook Sharing default privacy settings

I'm sure something this simple has to be a repost, but it took me awhile.
Problem: All my photo shares were private by default with no way to change them from FB app or mobile site.
SOLUTION:
Using FB mobile website
Settings -> Apps -> Old Facebook Apps
Now you're photos are private/public

Push notifications don't arrive

I've a serious problem.
I can't recive push notifications (whatsapp, messenger etc.)
Only if i open the app.
I had the same problem a few months ago but the problem was greenify Now it's disabled but the notifications don't arrive.
Firstly double check the settings from inside the app. Then check app settings from "app info"(tap and hold on app in recents or app drawer or alternatively go to settings-> general-> Application Manager. Also check Xprivacy(or any other similar apps I.E App Ops), if you have that installed.
One thing I've also noticed, since KK, Sync must be enabled for some network using apps to push notifications. So also try enabling Sync and check that "Restrict Background Data" is not enabled in Data Usage/(menu key) advanced settings. This last point is especially important for use on mobile data.
Here's a few apps that may help if the above doesn't resolve your problem.
