Notifications only on WIFI - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Is there a way to only receive notifications from certain apps when a wifi connection is enabled? I want to save my data.

Yes, but you lose all background connectivity with the app when on cell.
Settings | Data Usage | Set mobile data limit
- You can set the limit very high if you like
Now scroll down to the apps list and for every app that you only want WiFi notification (no cell notification) tap on that app, scroll to the bottom and select 'Restrict background data'.
Now, even if you are not at your limit those apps will only connect in the background on WiFi...

Awesome, thanks!! When you say I will lose all background connectivity, what do you mean? Do you mean that I won't get notifications when WIFI isn't on? If that's the case then that's how it is currently.

That's correct - the apps that you manually select will be denied network access when you're on the cell network but will automatically be allowed when on WiFi.
So on cell they won't connect to the world and you won't get notifications...

... which isn't necessarily a bad thing, especially if you have a capped data plan. You can still refresh your data manually in most cases, such as from opening your weather app, re-opening your ScoreCenter app,...

You could try Tasker, it's available in the Market and is well worth the couple bucks for the things it can do. It has a fairly steep learning curve, but once you figure it out, you will like it.
+1 for tasker. A rom I was using had issues sending and receiving text on wifi, and I used it to automatically turn off wifi when messaging app was open, then turn it on again upon exiting.

Wish I knew how to do it without a 3rd party app as well. Both Sense and MIUI (an AOSP variant) have somehow built this functionality into the ROM, but with all other AOSP ROMs you will need to manually toggle it or use a 3rd party app as already suggested. I'm sure if it was a high enough priority, a skilled developer here could figure out what lines of code within Sense and MIUI make this happen and implement it over to CM, but don't hold your breath. Very few of us leave our data connection off by default.
EDIT: Forgot to mention DROIDWALL. It's free in the market. When I am using ASOP, I just leave my data connection on but use droidwall to block every app except messaging. Then, if I want to use my data connection for other stuff, I just toggle droidwall off. I'm on a plan with only 100MB of data, so this kind of functionality is key for me.

[Q] How do you enable INSTANT UPLOAD for the camera?

These instructions on Google are completely ass-tarded??
http://support.google.com/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1304818
I tried following their instructions while in the camera app and there's no such option? I am on Kang's ROM but I don't think he would remove it?
I also tried it from the album app and there's no such option?
Does anyone know how to do this?
It is in Google+'s settings. On first setup you are prompted to enable instant upload and after that go to Menu -> Settings -> Enable Instant Upload

Thank you! That wasn't very clear to understand on their support site. I'm glad we have such smart members here!
Hope you have unlimited data. Instant upload can eat through your data real quick at a 1.x a picture.

You can simply set instant upload to only upload when wifi is available.

I highly recommend the "Only on wifi" option for instant upload. I take pictures throughout the day, go home, hop on wifi, and it uploads without me doing a thing.
I call that a win.
Thanks, yep I have unlimited data

unusual problem with location caching.

Hey Guys,
I've had my Galaxy Nexus for a while now, lately the browser cannot find my location, G+ (the app cannot find my location for nearby posts OR check in), facebook app can't find my location either, nor does twitter or any other client. I do get a decent lock on (with just data/wifi based location) in Google Maps.
Why is it that the other apps are failing to do so? Is anyone else facing this? or does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks

Did you make sure your GPS is enabled and in settings you are allowing it to be used in apps? Just checking...

No gps is disabled, I'm talking about network based location which the app fails to get. How do I check if my settings are allowing the apps to use location data?
Have you set all three options under localization services?

MMS while connected to Wi-Fi

So, for some reason the GNex has to be connected to 3G to send or to receive MMS messages. When I'm connected to Wi-Fi, it won't automatically download, or even notify me of, an MMS message. I've had many people yell at me for not answering their messages when they send me a picture message, but really the phone just doesn't ring for them....
On my HTC Rezound, the phone would automatically turn on 3G to download the MMS, and it would notify me of the messages. Is there any way to make the Nexus do that?
I'm on CM10 (not that I would expect that to make any real difference)

It is actually your provider restricting access to their MMS servers from their network only. It has nothing to do with Android or the Galaxy Nexus.
Also, if you're on WiFi what's the harm in leaving data enabled?

Nah...i mean samsung. I used two xperia phones before and never had to enable data to handle MMS. It just automatically send/receive it,like the era before smartphones...

My nexus turns on 3g automatically and downloads the MMS while I'm still connected to wifi. I see it happen daily. The gsm one has always done this.
Its weird I can send MMS(pics) while on WiFi but sounds or video won't send until I'm on 3g or 2g

My phone is less lazy. It will do MMS about 60% of the time while I'm on wifi! Been that way since 4.0.2

Turn off DATA, but leave MMS

Hi guys,
I live on campus and we have wifi everywhere and so I have the 200mb option to save some pennies.
Can I disable mobile data somehow but leave MMS (MMS does not count towards tmobile data). It already racked up 60mb. That and it might save some battery too, who knows.
Are you saying if you turn off mobile data you lose MMS? I'm confused..
Settings-> Data usage-> untick Mobile Data

Yes, that's what happens, I don't know how to stop it, but it looses all mms capabilities when you loose mobile data.

If you are on stock ROM i think there is a way to use MMS over WiFi calling. But after a quick google, it seems like third party apps such as GOSMS and Handcent dont like MMS over WiFi calling. So just use the stock MMS app. Remember, this is only if you are on a stock ROM or TouchWiz ROM. AOSP ROMs do not work at all with WiFi calling (From what i remember)
There is no way to disable data and still receive MMS.

Yes there is. Google MMS over WiFi calling. Kinda wish it worked on AOSP
What do you mean by "Google MMS" ? The stock messenger? OP it seems like it should work unless you don't have wifi calling enabled?

Let me rephrase that: There is no way in stock android to receive MMS while data is off.
If you're rooted, download LBE Priacy Guard or Droidwall and disable and whitelist only the messenger

Ohhhh I thought he meant use Google MMS over wifi calling.
On stock ICS with the stock messaging app I was able to MMS myself to email and back with mobile data unchecked. I have wifi calling.

this seems like the only solution so far. Thanks
The only solution, even though not the best, would be to switch to an HTC phone.
The only phones I know that are able to receive MMS with Mobile Data off are HTC phones.
Otherwise no other phone I've used does it and stock Android doesn't do it either.

Sp3I just tested this. I turned mobile data of under system settings/data usage. I was able to send and receive messages. BTW I am running 9/14 aokp by casp3rd.
If I helped click thanks.
Thanks

Sony Xperias can do it too. Data disables and they keep receiving and sending MMS.

Aokp and cm works fine for me. I had wifi off and was still able to send pictures.
But on a tw rom I must have data enabled to send and Download picture messages.

Try juice defender. Turns data off when screen is off but u still receive SMS. Also absurd battery life.

Dude just call T-Mobile and ask them to disable your internet data but leave your MMS open!! Works perfectly!
AT&T unfortunately doesn't do this, but T-Mobile sure does. I used to be on T-Mobile but switched 3 months ago and found out that I was screwed by AT&T since they won't disable internet.
