How to manage the firewall and Google Play

[Alukardd]

I have the same problem - progress bar don't progress...

Android 2.2 (linux 2.6.32.9), build by LG (now, I hate them for their curved hands)
avast! Mobile Security 1.0.2129

Hi,

what device? I can try it on LG Optimus One 2.2 on Monday if you have the same device.

My device is LG Optimus One P500. I haven't updated firmware since I bought device by some reasons...

[Filip Havlicek]

OK, I will try the firewall + Google Play on Monday then.

Here seems to be working (firewall on "deny selected" mode and all system/grouped applications allowed, i.e., not checked).
Samsung Galaxy Nexus running Google stock 4.0.4 ROM.

I don't like "deny mode". And moreover if check deny apps it's much more difficult because them're too much.

So you prefer the "allow mode"...

Hi,

I just checked and there is a bug in Firewall - Download Manager "application" is not being displayed. If you go to Application Management, find Download Manager and enable its access there, it should work (works for me).

The "deny mode" adds new applications as fully allowed, which makes things easier to test new software

Thanks, it work for me too!

When will this be fixed?  On my SGS2 both download manager and google services framework are not listed in the firewall section.

[Filip Havlicek]

In the next version to be released on Google Play, no time estimate though.

AFAIK it is not a bug in the firewall, depends on which linux core is installed on the device; on some devices is Google Framework, MTM server and DRM manager hidden for some good reasons - we will update our FAQ very soon (may be there are updated now) and there is an section for this problem (how to handle firewall in deny mode).
