+1 for DroidWall. It has the added benefit of blocking ads in a particular app if you decide to not allow it access to the network.
However, I should say that it doesn't EXACTLY do what you are asking. It allows you control as to what apps may or may not access the network, either via 3g, WiFi, or both. As far as I know, it doesn't tell you when one of the apps you allow access to the network actually does.
If you want something that asks you to allow/deny, try this
ps this was the 3rd result for android firewall, the first 2 being droid wall, just saying everything is out there google and you shall find.
Edit: well it seems twitter brought the company behind whispermonitor and thus all the downloads have disappeared, I will try to find an apk.
Edit2: it seems that whispermonitor only worked on the nexus S and one other phone, shame it looked promising.
Your best bet is droid wall, there is also Pdroid but it needs a rom patch.
Thank you
Will try your recommend solution

Well i did some more reading about it, and its more of a whole rom/rom mod than an apk file and it was only compatible with the nexus S and Desire I think.
Droidwall is your best bet.
Avast firewall do better than droidwall, it really alert you if any apps trying to make an connection on yhe the background, but avast is big app that come with antivirus protection which seems to be useless for android os so far.

Thank you for all your help.

This app is great but it would be nice if you can reset the counter so that we know what data we have used in a month or week.

i would like to download and app from the market but it says not available in your country.
can someone help me by uploading it here or via pm or email. if its free of course i don't know if it is or not cause it wont let me get that far.
the app is called clipfish. its a german app i believe. id like to listen and watch to music and videos from another country and this app seems right up my Alley.
if anyone could help that'd be great!
I'm not sure but if copyright of this App is ON maybe you can't install it, anyway search for "MarketEnabler" application in the market. (I can't post link's because I'm new and I need at least 8 post's)
I personally never try it but i read a good stuff for it.
I found it when i search for a same problem with my app in the market, but my issue was that it was filtered for the developer device and i didn't check it.

Just read the comments for that enabler app. Some people are saying that it doesn't work with market v3.2 which is what I'm using. So I'll wait and see if it gets updated.

I have tried both now and this one does work better but still it doesn't allow me to get the app.

Is the app perhaps available on other markets? I know AndroidPit and AndroidTapp are both making their own, there was another one too, they are springing up all over the place.
What app is it out of interest?

I am rooted. It still doesn't work for me. I've tried to use it in as many variations as I can think.
I'm thinking since it is a German app for German music, videos, etc. That its all copyrighted specifically to Germany. Which makes me sad.

hi
if i use wifi no ads in xda free app. if i use data-3g i got ads. i push host file in etc folder and used adfree app but no luck.
pls a solution.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
Buy the premium app.
The XDA app was probably developed by someone in their free time. If you don't want to look at ads in the free version, the least you can do is chip in a buck or two to whoever developed it and buy the premium app.
Quite simple, navigate to Play Shop, search for XDA PREMIUM, click buy! Voila, you now have no ads in XDA app

Could be the wifi router you are connected to when you are not getting ads has a firewall active, that is blocking the ad server.
pissyhun, are you still on krinyo's SlimROM? Or are you trying to push his hosts file to another ROM. That's what I want to do when I try AOKP, but have to research first - never done it before.

This thread is hilariously inappropriate in so many ways
FWIW, I have xda premium. My slightly OT question to the OP is regarding installation of hosts file, nothing else. Adfree doesn't work that well for me.
Adaway works better than adfree, the question could have been phrased better though.

I have been getting some spam notifications i don't know where they are coming from. Please see the screenshot below. Help me take care of this. Thanks.

i have been getting these 2 but cant think of anything new i have installed since they started to appear
Its an app you have recently installed. Uninstall that app and they go away or download airpush blocker to get rid of them. But If I were you guys just uninstall that app I hate those stupid notifications

I'd recommend getting an antivirus software for Android.
Sadly even mobile phones nowaday need such software regardless of OS and manufacturer.
Either avast (free) or Dr.Web Beta (also free) are excellt and additionally report such Spammer apps.

This morning I got a notification from my McAfee Mobile Security app telling me it found a potential threat on my sd card. The notification led me to one of my CWM backup .tar files, so I dismissed the notification and told the app to take no action. I just decided to take another look at my backups and realized that McAfee had gutted every single one of my .tar files. The files are still there, just empty.
I've been using McAfee for over 6 months now with no problems. Must have been a recent update. Back to Lookout.....

That sucks. I hate how McAfee takes control even on the computer. I used them once on a new computer and had absolutely no control over anything it did so dumped it and never went back. I've been using NetQuin on my phone and ZoneAlarm on my computer.
Been using AVG myself since my annual sub to Lookout expired a few months back. It's been doing fine for me.
I am one of the few people that likes McAfee. I use the antivirus software and online backup on my computers and never had a problem of any kind. Made sense to me to try the mobile product. It worked great too until today.
I started using McAfee when I stopped using blur based roms since I wanted the ability to wipe remotely. Can you do that on either NetQuin or AVG. Lookout can do it, but that would be another $30.
I used avast for a while. You could give that a go. It was quite good, not very intrusive and doesn't have a noticeable effect on performance. :thumbup:
Since doing a factory reset on my phone I haven't bothered reinstalling it as I don't feel it's necessary for my needs.

I haven't seen remote wipe ability with AVG. The annual fee is why I stopped using Lookout.

NetQuin probably offers it for the premium service as well, but the free version does have an antitheft mode. If someone tries to change the sim card out then it notifies a number you select when setting it up. Also has online backup of contacts which is another feature I use alot in case google doesn't work between new roms.
Sounds like they are all the same (like most apps) - you get some features for free and you pay for the really good features. I'll be back on a blur based rom until official ICS comes out, so I'll just keep using the free version of Lookout.

Found thru firefox addons that remote locates, sounds alarm and wipes data FOR FREE. Called TrustGo and I'm using it now. So far so good, but obviously I haven't come across anything that sends a red flag. See if it will work for your needs. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.trustgo.security

TrustGo is pretty solid and it came as an add-on for Dolphin HD. On top of security, I use to to save my caller logs/SMS/etc. to a cloud when switching between roms.

What upndwn4par said and also there are alot of malicious apps making their way to download, plus its good for web browsing on your phone. Facecrap is still known as being the easiest way to get viruses and most people use that on their phone daily. So its a good idea to have some sort of antivirus on your phone as you would your computer.

Hi, i was trying to enable wifi portable hotspot on my rooted and unlocked i717, i was reading in the forums and some people were able to do it just uninstalling or freezing "tetheringmanager" with titanium backup, but i can't find that service listed in my device, instead of that i have "tethering provisions" but if i uninstall or freeze and then try to enable portable hotspot my screen goes black and there is an error saying "settings has crashed...".
is there any way to enable native tethering and portable wifi hot spot in the at&t galaxy note i717????
any help would be sooooo appreciated.

simply download "tethering widget" from the android market and turn on/off the hotspot option from there, you don't need to freeze or uninstall anything....that's all so easy and working great, my laptop is now on the web through my note
