I have a Custom ROM Installed. I was trying to do a glitch in a game which requires Firewall. I used the NoRoot Firewall. But it doesn't work for me, When I click turn off the internet access. It doesn't turn it off. I also tried it with YouTube it doesn't work either. I decided to install AFWall+ It works like once but when I tried to turn it off it sometimes said "error purging iptables" Is there any way to fix it?
Post lacks information to even guess .
Why don't you just disable wifi/data useage from app info settings?
Just a toggle to enable or disable internet iseage of a specific app.

i google'd this but can't find anything on it and was wondering if the s3 is the first phone that allows users to disable at&t services without root. this is my first android device so i wouldn't know if that's true...
anyway, i have hotspots, navigator, messages, and updater. Carat is saying updater uses a lot of my battery, but that is the only one i can't disable in the application management menu in settings. however, i assume if i disable the other 3 then updater will have nothing to update and will consume less battery (hopefully).
has anyone tried to disable these programs with success, i.e. without it causing problems to your phone?
im not sure. but i did try to uninstall one and then it just showed up that it needed a update so i ended up redownloading the app because im so OCD about having updates not done
ATT Apps

You go into the application manager and DISABLE the app. I have gotten rid of ALL the ATT bloatware this way. Works sort of like
Titanium Backup but you do not need the root. Great option.

This is actually one of the 'features' of ICS (being able to disable apps w/o needing root). It basically very similar to "freezing" apps in TiBackup if you have root. It's generally much safer than outright deleting an app since if you do find you need it you can always re-enable it.
Make sure you have "auto update" unchecked in Google play first. Go to manage apps in settings and then go to "all".
Disable the ones that you don't need which is prolly a lot. You can also hide them if you want. While in your app drawer hit the menu button and choose hide apps.

I need to disable the wifi on my teenage son's Samsung Note 3. He's not mature enough for all that the internet has to offer (xxx). I have blocked his data usage through AT&T, but they have no control over the wifi. I have searched the internet and couldn't find anything relevant. How can I keep the phone fully functional yet disable the phone's ability to access the internet so that he can't go in and enable it himself?
I need him to have a phone and I don't want to go buy a dumb phone if I don't have to. I'm sure I'm not the only parent that has this same issue.
Is there a password protected app I can install or a ROM? Any ideas?
Thanks
Just lock your wifi with a password and don't tell him that password.

I have done that at home. He was taking his phone to Starbucks and using their free open wifi.
I may have found my own answer in the Google Play Store. There are a variety of Parental Control apps that apply content filtering and website logging.
Otherwise use hosts filter like ad-free and add list of xxxx site

How about blocking an app from accessing the internet, is that good enough?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.droidwall.free
Set it so that Chrome, Browser and Play Store cannot access the web. Then lock DroidWall using Smart App Lock or even hide it from the launcher.
Your kid can still connect to the internet, but that's just the beginning. He THINKS he's on the internet, but his apps doesn't get any permission to access the internet, so all network requests are denied.
Thanks for your input. My overall goal is to prevent my son from using his phone to access porn. My default thought was to disable the wifi since I already have his phone data blocked. It never occured to me until yesterday after my initial post here that there are parental control apps that have content filtering and website logging. A lot of them have great features, but I couldn't find one that had all of the great features combined. I think the one that comes the closest is Funamo Parental Control.

It's very easy nowadays to uninstall those apps....do they have uninstall prevention?
Hi,
So when I open my flip cover and have no Internet access, I get a textbox saying there is no network, check network and try again. So I guess an app is always trying to connect to Internet. But I don't know from which app this comes so I can't turn it off. Is there a log out something so I can see which app gives this textbox?

I don't know about a log, but one way to tell would be to go to Settings-connections tab- Data Usage. Any app that appears in the list uses data. Then you can look at each one and see its foreground/background usage. If the app uses background data, then it's a possible culprit.
It's not tge easiest method, but it would be a heck of a lot better than uninstalling apps one by one to find the one using data.

Sorry, I went to work today then lost this thread for a while, lol.
Like I said, it isn't the best solution, but it'll be better than uninstalling apps one at a time.
What you need to do is start at the top of the (which are apps using the most data). Tap the app and look at the amount of background data being used. If it's 0.0, then that app isn't using data in the background. If it's some other amount, it is and you can check the "Restrict Background Data" option. This will prevent the app from using background data until you unchecked that option. Then test to see if the message pops up. If so, then that app wasn't the culprit, so uncheck the background data option and go the next app in the list. Repeat.
Hint: start with the Google apps in the list. I suspect Google Services, but I could be wrong.

I found the app! It was the app that came with the flip cover. It's a led cover (smart shell for Note 4) but I still get the message. Even with the background data restricted. Can I completely make sure this app doesn't access Internet cause it really doesn't need it. When I turn off my phone or delete data for the app it doesn'tshow the message for a while.... But after a while it's back....

So I'm guessing that that's a 3rd party (non-Samsung) led cover?
I have no experience with them personally, but I've read quite a few issues with people using 3rd party LED covers. Especially when on Lollipop.
I don't really know how to restrict an app from using FOREGROUND data, so I did a quick Google search.
"If you don't have root access on the device, then you can use mobiwol to control the access various apps have to the Internet. Mobiwol creates a 'virtual' VPN connection on the device which allows control of the individual app connections. However, although the app starts when the device starts it is possible that there may be a brief period prior to Mobiwol executing in which apps could get Internet access despite the Mobiwol configuration."

" If your device is not rooted, so no problem, there are some applications that use some trick that can prevent apps from being connected to internet, such as NoRoot Firewall.
The Trick of NoRoot Firewall is that it opens a Fake VPN connection for making the phone to send all the packets to the Application then you can define for the application which one to allow and which one to deny. So it does not require root access."

I don't know how to use these apps, so I won't be able to help with getting them working for you, but you can give them a try if you want. Other than that, Android doesn't natively support restricting a specific app from using any type of data, other than simply shutting down data for the entire phone.

I found an xposed module to solve it I guess... No message so far! Xprivacy.... Works great... Off course you have to be rooted and have xposed installed.. But thanks man!!
On anything - like Purevpn or HMA's app, when it asks for me to allow the connection "Trust" it, I can not.
4.4.2, stock firmware.
Any ideas?

Hello there,
It seems like an issue with android rather the purevpn or any other vpn app itself. Most of the times, there is another third party application that is interfering with the Android UI and in this case you won't be able to 'Trust' the vpn application.
Some specific apps that are known for this issue include Lux Brightness, Night Mode or Twilight. If your device is running any of these, try force stopping them or uninstall them all together and then run the vpn app again.
Hope this helps!
hello guys i need help how to prevent my openvpn to auto stop im my phone.. when i use openvpn and playing online games after a few mins openvpn stop any suggestions how to fix this issue?
huawei y6 2018
ATU-L22
version: 8.0.0.142(c636)
Same problem here
It's not just openvpn.
I tried some other vpn's and nothing lasts.
They keep on closing every time I open another app.
I think it is a problem of the device's latest update (8.0.0.142).
I tried to fix this problem with several options on the developers option, but nothing happens.
And it is "weird" because this update automatically activates the Developers Option.
I'm still looking forward for a solution tho.
Please disable battery optimization for openvpn.
When it's running in background, your phone kills the app automatically to optimize battery consumption.

It's not just VPN apps but other apps too, so you should update your thread title. Anyway, just go to Settings->Battery->Launch and uncheck your VPN app. Next, make sure Auto Start, Secondary Launch and Run in Background are all checked. Also, try using a low graphics setting in your game to reduce ram usage and to reduce the chance of background apps getting killed
Is this
Same as mine. Huawei y6 2018. VPN connected for a few min then it will stop. Any help?

found the solution, though i can't find the direct access to it.
1. go to settings
2. battery
3. click optimize... then you will be redirected to options. you will find the view intensive app.
4. got to intensive app menu then turn off the manage automatically of every app that you wish to stay alive in the background.
i got rid of it now my vpn and other apps stays alive on the background.

Give other protocols a try. OpenVPN e.g. takes some resources that our crappy Chinese phones simply don't have. Right now I'm using Wireguard. The provider's client doesn't work that well, but the official wireguard client works excellent.
Besides that I've installed Shizuku manager and Icebox. With Icebox you can disable any user- or system app without the need for root. I've disabled most of the Huawei ****ty apps to save resources. If you disable optimizing features as well your phone won't force stop apps anymore. Instead of keeping as much RAM free as possible it will be using all RAM availlable. Apps will be more responsive and will only be killed by Android in case of OOM. Your phone's battery charge will last a day easy.
