Oppo F1s allows for selectively disabling mobile-data connectivity to various installed apps. It used to work well. However, since past more than a year, the apps can connect to the mobile-data despite them being disabled for connection in the setting.
If I go to: Setting > Dual Sim and Mobile Network > Use Mobile Data for
I can see that the data is disabled for Amazon Music, Prime Video, Whatsapp and several other applications. When I turn my mobile-data on, I expect (and as it used to happen), none of these disabled apps would be able to connect to the internet. However, now, it does not matter whether their connectivity is disabled or enabled in the settings, they can happily connect to the internet through mobile internet. The apps can also download the ads and display the ads to me despite being disabled to use the mobile data.
Calling up OPPO care was not helpful, as they asked me to reset the apps. This was not helpful.
Details:
Model = A1601
ColorOS = V3.0.0i
Android = 5.1
Version = A1601EX_11_A40_190709
I appreciate the help.

Hey guys I know there's a way to automatically connect and disconnect Wi-Fi I thought it was called Smart Switch but apparently it's not does anyone have any idea what it's called?

Smart Switch is for moving content between devices.
Smart Network Switch is for automatically moving from WiFi to Mobile Data, in theory without losing ongoing connections.
The Edge Panel "My Places" can be configured to automatically enable/disable WiFi (and other things) based upon your location (location being configured a small number of ways).
There's probably an App to do it another way (like Wi-Fi Matic - which I've never tried - linky).
It took me a minute to find it but if you go into Wi-Fi settings & tap "more" you'll find the smart network switch option.. It used to be under advanced & somehow I was just missing it when I went to the advanced settings
HI,
so I bought a 4G connection like a month ago, and a weird thing is happening, only Facebook messenger is working on mobile data, and by working I mean fully working: video and audio chat, message, photo and audio send and receive, everything, all the other apps display "no connection".
I've checked all the setting of the phone, I activated data Roaming, but nothing.
so, did anyone experienced a similar problem?
thanks in advance
Good year, surely it is:
* It seems that the problem is the configuration of the protection / economizer / mobile data saving, to verify that you should look at that mobile data connections are not deactivated and check that they are interesting for you (if they are not Marked connections with mobile data are not allowed, and therefore you will get the error that there is no connection)
I have a 6P running stock 8.1 January update, rooted with Magisk 16.
I connect to a restrictive WiFi network at work, which blocks things like Snapchat, Instagram, and others. I have 6GB of data per month, which I rarely reach over 2GB of because I'm almost always in a WiFi zone.
I tried using AFWall+ and Tasker to turn off/on the firewall based on the SSID of the WiFi network connected too (so that it would only activate when connected to my work WiFi and not my home network), however it refused to work with the app.
I eliminated the Tasker bit for troubleshooting reasons, but the Instagram app "couldn't refresh feed", because it's blocked, even though I whitelisted every app except for it.
I tried switching to blacklist mode within AFWall, so that it would only block WiFi connections, applied the settings, however still, it always tried to use the WiFi, which was blocking it.
Can anyone help with this please? I don't actually use Snapchat or Facebook or anything.. I just want Instagram to not use WiFi when connected to a specific SSID.
Thread closed as per OP's request
Any pro here? i have a problem a software problem
So Bought asus zenfone max pro m1 for my brother on 13th october , Whenever I am trying to update or download some big apps like DLS 2018 . It starts to download but shows waiting for wifi,but I only use wifi nothing else. Data is also off. Any solution to this?
Tried wiping cache,Reset,Safe boot .
Not only happening in play store,Some inbuilt apps like facebook,insta etc ,whenever I am trying to update it it shows that Install using data,it may charge you some fee. But I have wifi connected always not data and Data is off.
You need to go into developers settings and disable "keep mobile network (always on) running for seamless connevtivity" option in those settings. I think your WiFi doesn't give reliable connectivity, so phone goes to mobile network, which is off, so downloads pause.
Goto settings in playstore
Then select "over any network" under the app downlod preference tab...
build 327 has some issue with wifi so may be possible that due to it will not connecting to server try to update 331 using mobile internet. or flashing unmodified update file through stock recovery will definitely solve your problem.
Trying to get internet access on my head unit without paying for a hotspot. I'm aware of PDANet and have used it, but it's sometimes unreliable to get a connection at first and requires restarting it several times. I'm looking for a more automatic solution that will connect as soon as I start the car. Any advice?
I bought a Huawei E8372 LTE stick. It provides both a WiFi access point and a USB ethernet interface that works with my Eonon GA9498B, so I basically disabled the WiFi entirely for the time being. Setting up the stick can easily be done by inserting the SIM card, plugging it into your computer, navigating with your browser to the IP address mentioned in the manual; it's advisable to deactivate the SIM PIN so the stick can just boot and establish the mobile connection without having to enter the PIN every time you turn off and on your car. Boot time for the stick is 20-30s max, so the connection is basically already available as soon as the radio's main screen appears.
Just watch out: I haven't yet found a possibility to mark the ethernet connection as metered in Android, so apps which have different data transfer behavior depending on whether you're on a WiFi or a mobile connection will go on full data blast mode if you don't tell them not to. Take Spotify, for example: If you have marked songs for download, the app will synchronize all changes right away via the LTE connection, even if you've configured Spotify to only do that on WiFi connections. So what I do is putting Spotify in offline mode by default, and only change that when I'm at home and the radio is connected to my WiFi (which luckily takes precedence over the USB-ethernet connection). Same goes for my HERE WeGo offline maps: I configured it to download them manually, so it only checks for map updates and notifies me, and I can download them when I'm home. Google Maps is pretty spare about its data usage anyway, so no need to change anything here. I also disabled automatic updates in Play Store, so it just notifies me of available updates which I can then install when I'm back home.
This COULD be avoided by activating the stick's WiFi hotspot, connecting the radio via WiFi and then, in Android's data usage settings, mark the WiFi network as metered. I tried that once, and it wasn't all too reliable - Android keeps forgetting these settings irregularly (the WiFi is shown as metered in Android's settings after I changed that setting; will stay like that for a while whenever I take a look again; and at some indeterminate point will show "Automatic" again, which means it's being treated like your cable router in your living room again) and doesn't tell you so at all, so apps might first behave correctly (i.e. like they're using mobile network), and later recognize their environment as being in an unlimited WiFi network and download everything they do in the background, eating up your mobile data. Thus I rather control each app's settings in this regard manually.
