Hi, I use normal home wifi, and mobile wifi with DATA PLAN when I'm out, is there an application where we can set different access restriction for each one???
That is different settings for: DATA / WIFI xxx / WIFI yyy, or just treats certain WIFI Hotspots as Mobile Data like in some new JellyBean Data restriction
Please feel free to move this thread to the appropriate section

Your question is confusing. You would use your home router settings to set restrictions and encryption keys and Android settings in the Wifi Hotspot area to set the WEP key and restrict which devices can access your phone's mobile hotspot.
Or did I miss your question?

Android Firewall from the play store will do the trick, but only for WiFi and data. There is no app that'll let u set restrictions for multiple WiFi access points, sorry

I mean restrict applications from accessing the net, like Droidwall

Thanx, guess I should youse this in conjunction with jelly bean data restriction, but it would have been great if it can be done from one application

Hi everyone
There is a way to block all data connection for my device?
I have no data plan, I wish my device asks me each time it connects to the internet (via hsdpa)...
When you go to the communications manager where u turn on/off wifi bluetooth etc, there is also a switch for data plan. When i have that as off no internet works.
[EDIT] just noticed that the data transfer switches automaticaly on if i click on a webbrowser

Exactly my problem
under settings>connections>connections>manage existing connections
you'll find the data settings for your network. Delete them from here and stop ALL data connections.

Mhmh, this is a temporary solution I've thought of
If I can find/make a program that erases and then restores the network settings, it would be great
Let's see if there is something for this in the WM API...
If you don't want anything as permant as my last suggestion then maybe go in to connections again >advanced>select network and choose the two options to 'my ISP'. This options can easily be changed back.
Very interested to know about this also as my device comes within the next 7 days and I won't have a data plan sorted.
So following John k's suggestion i can stop emails coming through automatically also?

There is a simpler fix for this, just set the email send/receive delay to "manual", so it won't download any data.
In the same way, the automatic weather update can be disabled.

excellent ... thanks mate is there anything else which is using the data connection in the background if you know what I mean? Not web browsers for instance
You might want to look up "modaco nodata". Switch your connections on and off when you want.
Hello,
Is there any application on iphone like DroidWall on Android ? Because I have a limited Data Plan and I want let only some messaging application (Beejive, ebuddy etc...) to use my Data Plan when I am in the exterior and block all other app to use my data plan, but when I am on WIFI, i want to let every app connecte to internet with WIFI.
I searched hard but i cant find an Droidwall's alternative for iPhone.
Everyone have an solution for my problem ? i tried Firewall IP but it is not exactly what I want.
Thank you
iblacklist?
If you have cydia (jailbreak) iBlacklist may help. Haven't tried it but it may help.

Is there any way to restrict which apps can access the network if don't have an unlimited data plan.
To choose which apps will use wifi and when not on wifi which will use mobile data.

I don't think there is an option for that atleast in the stock ROM.
ok, i've been looking for an app for a while now, and have not found anything thats close to what i need.
my business has two wifi networks.
one for employees and one for customers.
the problem is, when i need to test something on the customer wifi, (and any others) is that the proxy settings are a global setting, not a wifi specific setting.
is there an app that changes that for you when it picks up a different network?
(say, swaps the proxy settings to nothing when a specific saved network is found, and changes it to defined settings when another saved one is connected to)
would be amazing if there was, and it did not need root access.
in ICS(Android 4.0) you can set proxy for each wifi network
Use proxydroid (free) from Google Play Store... You can create profiles for each wi-fi network and bind these profiles to the wi-fi network so it starts automatically when you are connected to the wi-fi network. You need to be rooted for proxydroid to work.

still sets a global proxy, just makes it look like its wifi-specific.
Try Autoproxy, the name says it all. Also on the market.
Is there a way to use Wi-Fi for certain apps and cellular data for other apps ?
Thus keeping both the Wi-Fi and the cellular on at the same time but just direct apps to use any one of the means of connection .....
I know the method of using " aggressive WiFi - cellular handle " and "keep both data and WiFi ON" option but I need a controller or something that can direct a app to use a particular connection whereas another app to use another means of connection...
If any body knows a way , plz share it ....
