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!

i want to know which app i can use to block ads on my android phone my phone is rooted
i want no ads on my browser or on any other app.
please reply with your perfect app for blocking ads.
adblockplus + adaway (both, they use different approaches and are not exclusive)
I use adfree and "the mother of all adblocking" apps which is found here on xda .

Rom toolbox can block ads in certain apps and you can also try adaway, as somebody already mentioned.

+1 good apps
I too am looking for an ad blocking program. I did download AdAway and was about to install it until I noticed it wanted full permissions to all device features and storage, full network access, and prevents the phone from sleeping.
Is there a manual way to prevent ads from showing without giving some annoymous person full control over my entire phone?
Try LuckyPatcher, works fine for me
ghostery is a good addon if you are running firefox, though the interface isn't as clean as a desktop computer.
AdAway
I use adaway, it works really well,

If your phone is rooted, it is easy possible, for example firewall in official play store Avast Mobile Security. No possibility without root.
NoRoot firewall for Android

You can still do it without root privileges.
Use LostNet Firewall.
It creates a fake VPN connection which intercepts all traffic and filters it based on your rules.
It allows to block some apps while on mobile.
You can also block some apps at all times.
You can block access to any country.
New features are released every week.
The next release will have 3 new ways of blocking networking traffic.
You can also use Mobiwol. Is free from Google Play and it also uses the VPN features to block and allow apps based on what you tell it to do. It also blocks Foreground and Background apps as well.

you can use 360 security, it has a data monitor and a per app firewall and works without root.
According to facebook report over my mail, someone has entered in to my fb via Xperia XA, Saratoga, CALIFORNIA, US. I am at Europe.
Most likely i was blocked because my phone Ip have changed somehow.Now i cant enter in to my account with msnger and facebook (only from browser) app on my phone. Think the security system is blocking my phone.
Ps: i had to swap Wifi with 4g in order to get access.
Did you use any vpn to access Fb?
Think not, just standart office Wifi connection. And i just check , my office location (according to my laptop is Europe), but according to my phone 4g i am at California ,Saratoga. So whats going on ?
Its something from the phone system, i changed the firmware few days ago, and the phone is encrypted now, so maybe its forcing the apps to connect via VPN network, or who knows...
really ?? my phones comes with greek firmware and now I use south Africa firmware !! is there any problem ?
Have you some apps from unofficial markets like Aptoide? Have you some apps downloaded from file-sharing links or P2P? If yes, don't search away, you probably have a malicious app.
If you are rooted, use a permission manager app, Xprivacy is good for that and allow blocking strange permissions (Facebook, Google accounts, contacts, device ident, ... for an app who don't need them).

1) Try to re-download apps from trusted sources.
2) Try AVG app integrated in the device to scan it.
3) Use Xprivacy and block unnecessary permissions on suspicious apps, make some test (block/unblock) to understand what mean each permissions. For sample, a game generally don't need root, phone contacts or SMS and needs sensors, storage and Internet.

Not suitable ?? Big targets to be suspicious are warez/cracked apps.

One reason I'll never use apps like that in the first place. Just asking for trouble.

yea few which i was trying to connect a DSLR and use the phone for shutter remote.
It looks like i have already removed the antivirus app.
When this method work for you please leave a comment to encourage me to benefit you more
Are you tired of your phone having to much bloatware ?
Do you want a solution for your problem ?
What do you think if I told you that there is a solution
An app
That can "remove" the bloatware from your device in seconds ?
And restore it with a single click?
No root required
Nothing else needed after you download this app
Only give it the permission it need and just be careful with what you remove
How does it work
To my understanding
It disable the app you chose from admin you are using
The app still take space
But
No background service from it
Not showing on your apps
Like it doesn't exist anymore on your device
And you can restore it with all the data it have with single click
The app link
Package disableder pro for samsung
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kinder.pksafety
The app is paid
Another link direct download
https://dlandroid.com/package-disabler-pro-samsung-apk/
Please* : if you can afford to purchase the app*** ........* DO IT .** IT REALLY DESERVES IT
There is another version for LG devices
Tested on
Samsung S9+ android 10
Samsung* E7 android 5.1
What i disabled is in attachment
So, this basically does the same thing as disabling apps in settings?

You can disable everything with that app. Very helpful if don't have root.
May I ask what the app is for LG? I personally don't like LG phones but my bff is a fan and always complaining about the bloatware.
