[Q] Data control

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.

hi .. is there any app that can disable the background apps, like fb, sync, widgets, that would use internet once i enable the data connection on my android? i dont have an unlimited data package, which is why im concerned about the data charges.

If your phone is rooted, you can try droidwall, it can setup in application level to disable mobile data.

[Q] How to block mobile data transfer of a single App

Hallo everyone,
I'm using my Nexus 5 in roaming right now, and I should be carefull with the amount of mobile data transfer. I already blocked almost every background data transfer on various apps, but there's a single app, a game, that makes a lot of foreground data transfer.
How can I block this data transfer from this single app without disconnecting everytime my mobile data transfer?
I hope that I was clear enought to describe my problem, thanks in advance!
up!
Grab a firewall app. I use awfirewall and it works great.

Mobile data usage restrictions not working

I have been trying to reduce my monthly data bills (in the UK), so have used the Mobile Data Settings to restrict data usage, and to disable the "Background data" option for specific apps. According to the My Data Manager stats at least some of those apps are continuing to use background mobile data however.
Has anyone else found this setting to be ineffective, and know of a reliable way of preventing apps from accessing mobile data in the background? I've tried a couple of firewall apps but none that worked (i.e. they claimed to prevent mobile data access by specified apps, but didn't)
