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!

Grab a firewall app. I use awfirewall and it works great.

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
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

Hey people!
I will have mobile data for the first time next week, and I would like to know something.
Basically, as far as I know, mobile data is automatically turned off by Android when connected to a wi-fi. Now, my phone is a nexus 4, and since I have limited storage, I use a wi-fi external hard drive, which means I am always connected to wi-fi on the road. Now, if I want to use mobile data while I'm connected to a wi-fi network, is there a way to make it work?
Thanks a lot!
Yup, using DroidWall (free app) you can decide which apps can connect to the WiFi (you can block them all, and only allow specific apps).
Thanks a lot for the suggestion, going to look into that!
Update: Droidwall doesn't work the way I'd like it to. I can indeed block access to wi-fi for certain apps, but my mobile data remains deactivated. Is there a way to use mobile data if I'm connected to a wi-fi on a rooted n4?
I want to limit children phone usage. Now I use combination: Avast, Norton Family, Datalock and Applock. This works fine when using only mobile network. Other child doesn't have mobile data, only wifi. I couldn't find app to limit data in wifi, anybody know any?
If someone would make app that combines most of this, parents would be potential byers.

There are some apps to watch data usage:

But there is a way to set data usage:

Hi Guys,
I am just trying to disable / enable 3G mobile data connection automatically, and tried several apps from play store and all of the apps were not able to control mobile data. I see the following error message when running logcat on terminal:-
E/connectivityService(501): warning, forbidden third-party APP to active mobile data connection
- I am using Gfive G9 mobile running android 4.2.1
- I can manually turn on and off 3g mobile data connection using quick launch button - no problem
- Data connection is working when it is turned on - no issue
- But i need to use third party app (like llama, or Data on-off) to control my data connection when screen off or match configured rules but none of the application seems to control data connection due to above error.
- I am not using any other app as a firewall to restrict communication with data connection.
Just wondering if anybody has came across with the issue before?
Any help please?
Thanks in advance
