Kindle Fire 6.2.1 breaks origin and you may not re - ascendent . To prevent this , simply installDroidWall . If you are afraid of download the update and require to keep wifi disabled , just do a google lookup for Droidwall.apk and sideload .
Once installed , launch Droidwall . ensure the mode says “ modality : White leaning ( allow selected ) . You will have to manually select which apps to give Wifi access to ( I selected Email , internet browser , Netflix , and Amazon Video on Demand ) . You should only pick out the apps you REALLY require to give access to . Then hit Menu and Apply Rules . Enable Wi - fi , and you should be full .
I test while running Wireshark and watched the bandwidth according to my Tomato router – no more Brobdingnagian files being downloaded .
