Hi all.
I have tried classic ways but couldn't manage to port it. I guess my knowledge wasnt enough..
With monitor app you can control every apps connection seperately. For instance you can limit whatsapp to access internet solely over wifi or 3g..
And many other options..
Can anyone do it? Or is it done anyhow?

Hi guys,
I am searching an app which shows me which app uses internet. Does an app like this exists if yes whats ita name. Yesterday i searched in market but found nothing. Thanks for your help...

Good idea, I sometimes go through my Accounts and Sync settings to make sure I only sync things I really need and not too often. Otherwise it kills battery.
An app that shows applications using internet or even processes would be nice. Because some apps connect periodically, the app would simply need to log App/Procvess name and Date/Time interned has been accessed. Maybe even show for how long?
Also I wonder if the application could have option to Block specified app from being able to access internet... for example have a schedule, only allow given app to connect from 9AM to 11PM, to save battery during night.
I like the idea to Just like how you can use Zone Alarm on Windows, And other firewalls right?
I think there's an app called network traffic stats, which logs network activity. It needs 2.2 though.

Thanks for help. I found it in the market, works great.
But the app I'm searching should work as follows:
It shows all apps and system apps (like wheather etc.) as like the app network traffic stats AND if the app has the permission to connect to internet automatically (for example there is an icon on the right from which you can recognize whether the app auto-connects or not). At the first start of the app it analyses all the apps on the phone and shows them in list like the app network traffic stats. And everytime you install a new app the new app will be included to this list.
Does something like this exist?

Hey everyone,
I'm looking for an app or a way to allow only one (whatsapp) application to access my 3G data connection. All other apps should be blocked from accessing the data connection. Also system apps.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks!

Hi all, plz sum1 tell me HOW TO RESTRICT AN APP FROM ACCESSING THE INTERNET?

You can restrict access for apps using pdroid.it lets you set limits on each app. I believe it might be what your looking for. I have used it and it lets you set permissions for each app. You can find it by going to android development and hacking, then go to android apps and games, look in there and you will find pdroid.not exactly sure to what extent you can set the permissions, but I think it would be the best app to try. I'm pretty sure you can do what your needing to do with that app. It's worth a try. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
Setting -->> more --->> usage
Set data usage limit and click app which u want to restrict data and enable background restrict data . .

PDroid is fantastic and is an absolute solution. The problem with it is that isn't not super easy to install. It has to be put into a ROM when it's compiled. It can't be simply flashed as an add on.
It's available in OpensationSensation 2 which is CM10 and is set up and ready to use upon install of the ROM.
But if switching to CM10 isn't the best option for you then Itsakash's option is an easy to do and good option. And it will completely stop the app from accessing mobile data. The only downside is that it doesn't stop access to wifi, if that's an issue for you. What this won't let you do easy is restrict all app except the web browser like you indicated in your other thread.
If you need all but 1 app restricted form mobile data use, use an app from the PlayStore called DroidWall (or search out similar apps that you might like better. Search for 'internet firewall' in the PlayStore). These kinds of apps are a filter of sorts that requires all internet connectivity to go through the firewall app, and the app can shut off access to either wifi or mobile data or both. And it works like a charm.
It comes with a price in that it's a constantly running background app so there MAY be some battery or performance drain, though it should be very minor if it's noticeable at all. It's definitely worth trying to see if it works for you though. You can always uninstall the app if it doesn't meet your needs.
Also, please don't create multiple threads asking the same question. This forum is full of people who will be happy to help you. But this is not 24/7 tech support. If your question isn't answered right away, give it some time. Someone will help you (as you can see here)
Thanks all, i'll try out

As the user above stated Droidwall is what you need Its a full android firewall. You can select what to allow (white list mode) and what to block( blacklist mode) both over WiFi and 3g separately and best of all its free + no ads. I haven't had a rom without it since froyo
Trying to find a decent firewall for blocking apps to access Internet (wifi, mobile) with custom schedule.
I want to be able to block apps from accessing the Internet from 8am till 3pm for example.
Please advice any app that can do this.
Thank you

Hmm. Not really sure, because this isn't something I've used in a couple of years, but this one is highly regarded:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.droidwall.free&hl=en
If it doesn't have the custom schedule included, you might need to combine it with an app like Tasker, or there's another free one that popped up on the XDA News the other day: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2623994
Define larger interval instead
This solution is quite good but sometimes I need the notifications but not every 5 seconds or so but I want to allow the app to check every half an hour.
I've described it more thoroughly in the following StackOverflow thread:
