    Someone please explain my android firewall data usage?

    I was using the No Root firewall on Google Play. Also tried Mobiwol. The dev at Mobiwol said that how Android counts its data is basically a lie, that nearly all data that it says Mobiwol is using is actually the data the apps use that are granted access through Mobiwol. Makes sense, but then...

    Someone please explain my android firewall data usage?

    I know, same here, been scouring the internet for anyone with a similar situation. the only other person who complained of this who I saw was in the comment section on Google Play, on the Nonroot Firewall. I emailed the devs, as well as devs on another firewall app about it, neither have...

    Someone please explain my android firewall data usage?

    Thanks for answering, Johnny! And somewhat, AT&t has an online area where you can log in and check how much you've used of your hotspot, but it measures it only by gigs (and half gigs)... It would be much more helpful if it measured by megabytes too, but I digress... Anyway, I've tried various...

Just want to know if the data it's showing is the data the firewall is using, or if that's showing me how much data it's SAVING me? Someone who knows, please answer, no...

    Hello all! I'm using a Sony Xperia Z1s (obviously) on 4.4.4., and have very recently decided to step away from carriers (Straight Talk, specificaly) and venture off to try using an at&t unite hotspot, paired with TextNow. So far it's been fantastic, but there's one problem that I soon learned...

    What Apps Should Every Android Have?

    Oi, the asterisks are supposed to be T_ ubeMate. Hopefully the underscore will allow you to read it now... (Underscore not in original app name). Perhaps it's against forum rules to post, but honestly here, it allows me to stream YouTube in lower quality than the native app allows, saving me a...

    What Apps Should Every Android Have?

    NoRoot Firewall (thanking the creators of this, as Google Play would've eaten my entire data plan without my knowledge). Puffin Browser (great way to view desktop sites). Naked Browser. Shazam. VivaVideo. Phone Silencer (helps to remind you to turn ringer back on). MX Player...

    S4 or xperia z1?

    I'd say LG G3. That was my other choice against my Sony Xperia Z1s, but my Sony won out. The con against my phone, which may or may not also be seen in the Z1, is an erratic touchscreen. Removing a screen protector has helped, but the bug and the fact that Sony refuses to acknowledge it...
