All it does is pull up my systems page and show me my connections turns them off but does not take me back to my app. It should only cut the connections THAT I CHOOSE not all of the connections! EVO 3D. This app cuts all off Bluetooth GPS etc all at the same time. Keep trying Dev ya on to something.
Works fine for me one I hope the maker of this app does is get log collector to work with it so we all can send a log if we have or come across any problems. When having a problem guys remember to also put make of phone and os version let's help this guy or his team out and make this the best app I love it
Now just continually disconnects my wifi even when I allow an application to use it ... Frustrating as it seemed to be a good idea at first ..
Smart way to avoid rooting your device and loosing your warranty. Keep updating your software with many thanks in advance. If you are looking for advice simply install it :-):-)
Tried this many times...wont stop apps from connecting
App cannot control mobile data switching (juice defender can do this). It just sends you to the options page to turn off mobile data, but once you have turned it off, the program doesn't detect the change. This means app won't let any other app with blocked data run at all. Completely useless...
Excellent, prompts to turn off data when an app tries toaccess private data trhough the net.
Just turn off wifi cannot turn on wifi again after running app with ads
But all it dose is disable your wifi or network. I do that myself anyway.
Firstly, I want to thank Houzuo for this gem of an app, especially for unrooted phone owners! Everything works as claimed, what's more it is free and open source. I am giving it five stars even though I know it can be improved with automatic turning on and off for WIFI and APN. If you search here at Google Play Store, you can find a lot of working WIFI and APN toggles/switches/widgets. For example, DATASWITCH is a nice little app that switches APN on and off each time you run it! I can see people asking fo
A good way to take control of your mobile with data and background data, money and use of it.
Have been looking for exactly this type of application. Hope it does the trick..
INCREDIBLE SECREET ADVIRT BLOKKKER! FINNNALY - Tested, no mor AIDSVERTS on my game screen!!!! 4* But not working in every ADS ways. Some game play when connected, still showing different ads each time. (Disconnected puts it off). So, not 100% ... Hum... tried some time... Less than half blocking
Does a great job, and changes are quick and easy. Thanks!
Offers a little protection and a nice idea 4stars
Thanks buddy..does what it says..
If you don't have a rooted phone you can atleast have some say so with apps permissions with this privacy protector. I wish to see more options if possible. I have the LG NITRO HD P930.
Shows settings page everything you want to use an app that shouldn't need the network or internet, also makes connections unreliable as it can take a few attempts for the internet to connect.
This app does what it says but in reality it's not all that useful. I love being able to prevent my games from accessing the internet, but I DO want to be able to receive text messages while I'm playing those games! There are other apps available to allow and block internet access on a per-application basis, rather than for every application at the same time.
Once u block the permission of that app, the app will then redirect u to ur data settings. Only work around to block internet access without rooting ur phone is to put it in AIRPLANE mode. This app is useless on DROID RAZR
A safe option but not what I was looking for
this app is very easy to use and it helped in all my need :)
A very useless application
Everytime it blocks,opens settings....
I'm having trouble with app. When I enable privacy protection for some apps and then try to use them, the app closes and menu to enable/disable data pops up, after I make selection and try app again it wont open. Maybe I just dont understand how this works. I dont want to root my phone.
