Hi
Whenever the phone has access to the internet, it is using the net for all kind of traffic, even if auto sync and backgroung data are disabled.
Is there any way to control the data of the phone, so only foregroung processes has access to the internet?
The problem is when traveling to another country where the data price is very high, and you just want to send a small email, without all the other processes are using the internet.
I have not rooted my phone.

When i insert my SIm card and set up my data plan on Cingular-AT&T my connection turns on automatically without me starting it. How can I turn this off? I do not want it to turn on automatically...

You can set up a dummy connection setting, and switch to the dummy when you do not want to use the data plan. It would still allow you to make and receive call, but you can't surf the net or use email using the data connection (of course you could still use WIFI to surf the net, use email, update weather, etc).
They may be more elegant way, but this is the way I use when I'm dangeriously approaching my download quota limit.
auto connect
WHy does it auto connect by itself? The unit will be sitting on my desk and I look at it and its connected.
Can I make a setting that only connects manually like on my HTC touch phone?
Is this a push email setting?

it'll depend on what you're running, htc weather will auto update, as will several others.
Paul at modaco has written a piece of software to easily switch between no data and data.

Hi
I'll soon be going out for a trip and will be using my phone in International Roaming.
I do not want to turn off the mobile data completely since I wish to use the Google maps and my exchange email, however I want to disable mobile data access for all other applications.
Is there anyway I can achieve this?
Thanks in advance
Settings/data usage......click on individual apps and you will see a check box at the bottom
Dear all,
How to with one switch allow that only one application use internet over carrier (data usage) in roaming on non rooted phone, and when i am not in roaming to allow synchronization to rest of applications?
For this problem i see two solutions firewall and synchronization profiles.
Firewals:
I know for this is necessary to have firewall and rooted phone, for Mobiwol firewall which not require root i am not sure that Mobiwol control data usage in roaming internet access and also does have automatic/manual switching profiles when iam in roaming or not.
Synchronization profiles:
For this solution iam not sure it will work because its not clear for me how its work. Does switching of synchronization means that this application will not access internet or also it necessary to switch off background data usage?
Does all application accessing internet going through synchronization menu and can be controlled in this menu?
Does any body know any application with synchronization profiles, its little bit boring to all the time switch on/off application when you in roaming or not?
Waiting your comments, advises...
Thanks and best regards,
Alek
Hi Guys,
I've been looking for a solution to my problem but found nothing solid so far.
Case looks like this: I'm traveling a lot. In Malaysia (where I live) I have unlimited data package and I don't really care how much data is downloaded by my apps via 3G or WiFi - in short, i don't care.
Problem starts when I'm traveling - if I'm abroad, I'm trying to minimize 3G data usage to save some money. Problem is that many "data hungry" apps start downloading the data as soon as they detect there is internet connection available. Most of the apps doesn't care if it's 3G or WiFi data connection. Some apps allow you to configure if they can use 3G or WiFi only - but not all.
I would like to be able to control if particular app has access to Internet via WiFi only or 3G+WiFi. Is there any way to achieve this?
P.S. O course - it would be a "dream coming true" if there was a way to control if App can use WiFi only or 3G+WiFi or "WiFi+3G (local) and WiFi Only (roaming). I don't this something like this exists but ... it would be nice
Thanks for hints in advance.
Hello! I have a phone currently that allows me to disallow apps from using mobile data. They function normally when I'm connected to WiFi, but when I'm out and about only a few apps I've specified will continue to update. (Telegram, Hangouts)
Is the LG G5 capable of this kind of setup? This allows me to keep my cell phone bill really low. Thanks in advance for any info you can provide.
