Please tell me a way to do it. Or is there any app.
Thanks Any help will be appreciated.

If you are running CyanogenMod 7, you can disable the "internet access" permission for each app. You can also turn off sync and "allow background data" in settings.
Droidwall require root access and is there any firewall for android that does not require rooting.

Hi everybody.
two days ago, my phone dont working well. I used pc companion for reset my phone. later, my phone can surfing on internet using the browser over data plan, but any app not connect to internet (eg market, facebook...). when I connect my phone to the wireless, everything work perfectly (applications and browser).
Somebody help me please.
what happen with my cell phone? TKS.
Check ur access point they might have proxy enabled! Also check if background data is enabled!
Hi Galvic, my access point dont have proxy on enable. my phone working fine when i used wirelress connection. the problem is when I use the data plan or 3G. Only I can use the browser but I can't use any app(eg facebook, market).
Have you checked that data services are allowed in the settings?
Hi,
In my data plan I have only little roaming data included. (10mb per month or so)
Anything over that is WAAAY to expensive.
Now, when going abroad I'd like to be able to use my data connection just for selected applications. Now, when I turn on my data, practically every running app is going to try to connect, check for updates, syncronize,...
Is there any way to just switch on data for, say, the email app?
Thanks!
You'll need to be rooted but there are a firewall app like DroidWall should work. It has separate toggles for wifi vs 3G so you can let everything access data when on wifi and block most apps from 3G:

Droidwall is a good choice. Another alternative is Avast Mobile Security which also has a built-in firewall that will allow you to toggle wifi, 3g and roaming.
Sorry, I forgot to reply. That is exactly what I was looking for!
Thanks!
Hi,
I am looking how to prevent an application to connect to internet either on wifi or on data network mode.
My problem is that some applications are connecting, in background, to internet and I would like to restrict it.
For example in windows, you have a firewall and you can allow or prevent each program to connect to internet.
Thanks.

Hello! I want to know if there is any app which works like TCPView by Sysinternals for Windows.
I simply want to disconnect active data connections, no matter if wifi or mobile data.
Does such a tool exists?
Edit: i found tools like net tools withhin i can show but dont close active connections.
Also alogcat seems to only show data connections.

I'd recommend some firewall app. Just closing a connection will not hinder the app to re-open it again. Using a firewall app, you can make sure the connection stays closed.
The shell command netstat shows active connections.
Thank you. Im alrdy using avast fw with whitelist mode and it works as it should.
I was asking because some apps dont start until they got an internet connection (even if they dont need one) or it takes rly long till connection times out so they can start.
So i thoight i could block them going online and disconnect the pending connection which is -listening- to some port and waiting for connection.

Hi all,
I want to prevent certain apps from accessing my work Wi-Fi, mostly so my employer can't see what I'm doing. Specifically, I don't want to be connected to my employer's Wi-Fi while on Facebook, Evernote, etc.
For some other apps, I still want to use Wi-Fi to save data.
I just installed Tasker and have already a Task set up to shut off Wi-Fi for these apps. My question is: is this really secure? Does anyone think this will prevent my employer from seeing what's on my Facebook, or is there a flaw I'm not thinking of?
Ex: maybe Tasker has a delay which will allow my employer to see Facebook load anyway.
Alternatively, if anyone knows a more efficient way of doing this (in Tasker or anywhere else in Android) that'd be great.
Thanks
Question your boss is a hacker?
Because if he isn't he can't see anything in theory because he doesn't know how.
But you can use vpn connection as Hotspot Shield
so your traffic inside that network and all over the internet is encrypted.
You can also use "Firewall" for that.Firewall apps that they stop apps that you choose from getting access to internet.
if you aren't rooted try this one NoRoot Data Firewall . it use VPN
connection. So this vpn connection is local and when the blocked app tries to connect the internet it just get the localhost ip as gateway . the other apps continue to work normally.
if you are rooted try this one AFWall+ (Android Firewall +)
depends on your needs of course.
