What do you mean?
IF your phone is rooted - try DroidWall.

+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.

I'll add AppTrafficFree https://market.android.com/details?id=net.ir.apptrafficfree
is the best to see which apps or games are wasting your data.

That app is great.
Thank you

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.
THank You

Droidwall doesn't work on Samsung Galaxy S2. I use ICS v4.0.3 and it is rooted!
I try for example to block all app on 3G then played Angry birds and the adds are still there..I think this app waste my time!!
Is there any application that would make possible to use the GTab as a keyboard for the computer? Connection would be through bluetooth or wifi (netwook).
Thanks,

A very good application I use is called unified remote. Its free and if you want there's a paid version with extra features.

Hi i was wandering if there is an app or something that blocks the porn websites or those adds with pornography.
I hate when i surf the web an suddenly opens those porno adds,

Root your phone and install AdAway
Adfree is free better than adway ..

That won't block porn websites - just in-app ads.
OP - does your service provider not give the option of adult filtering at their end? In the UK it's actually turned on by default and you have to request if you want it off.

Try this...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.trendmicro.tmmspersonal
It gives you a fully functional version for 90 days and then you have to decide whether to pay or not. It has parental block for the internet.
Edit: Actually, a search for parental block apps on Google Play turns up quite a few...

Thanks a lot it works
Nice idea to use a parental control for myself!

Awesome App that modifing HOST file in your android , and more advance than other ads block app's , that u can update it easily form the application
Suggest "ROM Toolbox"
One of the tools in ROM Toolbox Lite is a hosts-file modifier that can block ads, casinos, porn, and 'risky' domains. Seems to work well and it's nice and simple (as long as you've rooted your phone of course).

I'm also looking for android filtering apps to block sites while surfing or use apps. But it seems it's a little more difficult to make it than developing the features on Mac or Windows operating system. I use Aobo Internet Filter ( http://aobo.cc/aobo-filter.html ) for Mac and PC, but can't find any apps to block unwanted sites for android phones. I want to know if you found anyone, just tell me, thanks.
I intend to use multi-view to run two instances of chrome at the same time side-by-side.
It's it possible to do so?
Thanks in advance
doubt it - just use 2 different browsers?

Not possible.
You can only use different browser.
That would be awesome. I hope someone comes up with a way :laugh:

Why is that needed I think?
When you can open multiple trans in chrome and other browsers?

The best screen capture app I've come across is SCR Free on the play store, it requires root amdd does a fantastic job. I used it to film me playing some games for a pal of mine.

I don't think there is an app for screen record without root maybe because its accessing deeper APIs

Here's a screen recorder that should work without root:

I haven't tested because it's not supported on my Galaxy Nexus.
