I have a need to turn off wifi and data on my son's phone and was thinking that an app which required a password to enable wifi and data would be a god solution. Does anything like this exist? My searching the market hasn't found anything.

I've owned my ZTE Racer for a 2 days and haven't even needed to read the phone manual. Really simple and easy. I've downloaded many Apps and kept the best. However I'm having problems with a WiFi App that will allow me to connect to a WiFi source. If I connect manually using Settings>WiFi etc all is well but no matter what WiFi App I use they won't connect even though the do show Internet Authorised when they find my own WiFi router. Am I missing something as I'm never asked for any settings and I'd assumed the App was using the settings I'd set manually. What am I doing wrong?
You should use the built in wifi app. Why do you neen another?

hi, a friend of mine had a request to prevent the demo android phones placed at his shop from being locked by customers. how can i prevent the pattern/pin/password security locks from being activated, or how do i remove this feature from the demo phones?
thanks
Turn it off in settings???¿¿¿???
If you're talking about after it has been locked, reflash the software if it doesn't have a fastboot/bootloader/recovery reset.

If they're connected to wifi then install "unlock with wifi " on them and hide the app?

he's been doing reflash every time a phone has been locked, and its getting on his nerves as this happens almost on a daily basis. is there a way to rip the security pattern/pin/password functionality from the android framework? or is there any apk that we can remove from /system/app that will disable this functionality?

i think wifi is out of the question as he doesn't want passerbys to use his wifi connection for hacking/illegal purposes.
You can just lock down the WiFi with WPA2 and it will most likely not get broken into.

Download one of the many app locks and just password protect settings and then turn the pattern lock off..
//edit- Inside of the app lock see if you can only password protect display settings.. so customers can at least play with the other settings

Unlock with wifi is an app that uses trigger(a known wifi location) to unlock the screen...
It's not a tethering app.
So, what is this in reference to?
I'd expect that he might have a wireless router in a cell phone store already. And would know to encrypt it.

Does anyone know of an app out there that forces certain apps to only use the Data connection, even when on Wifi? I have a few apps that my company blocks but would like to keep updated through out the day. So if I am on a Data connection for that app, I can work around the Wifi block issue.
Thank you in advance

Looking for just the opposite. I want to restrict certain apps to data only, and not use wifi.
Dude, this is a BA app. I like it.

See this. Moved to Q&A.

Hi. I was wondering if anyone knows of an app that tracks data usage and will turn off my data connection when the cap is reached but also has a password option to keep my kids from turning the data back on after the cap. Or just a parental control app for controlong data usage. Any ideas

So, not sure why but I used to use mobile hotspot frequently. Recently, I go in and enable it. It turns on fine? But than I go click on hotspot settings where you can change password and stuff, it force closes.
Though when I turn it on, my pc or anything else can see it, but it has a password that I never set. What's the default password for hotspot??
Now another problem. When I go into app manager, and look for mobile hotspot, its disabled. I click it, and I can't enable it. Everything is grayed out!
What's the deal! How do I fix all this?

I guess you already did that but what happens if you disable hotspot, then try to go to settings to change password ? Because if everything is okay you can't go to settings if hostpot is enabled, you have to disable it before.
