Possible to completely disable 2G 3G ALL data on Android directly using some Software on PC or Phone or via MDM?
There have been cases of some people I know (older family) that were brought an Android phone but inadvertently some Data was used without a Data Plan - more expensive.
Lets say instead of buying Feature Phones for some delivery boys, we bought Cheapest Android phones possible - The boss there just wants Phone calls with them and wants to ensure the boys wont be able to Rack up Data use/ bills on the phone -
Are there ways to Disable Data AND/ OR WiFI? Selectively or so? Maybe only have it on when being configured by MDM?
Please point of ways that this can be done.. Or point to forums where this information can be ascertained.
Thanks.

Just got an android project from supervisor and I have only 2 weeks to go to show him all the basic functions of the project, and I'm new to all these thing.
The idea of the project is to get peoples connected to each other without using internet connection, which meaning that we create and connect by our own network like LAN, and maybe others.
We need a database to store data like pictures and chat logs too.
So, my questions will be what kind of database/server we use for android application to store data ? and any ideas on create a own local area network or any kind of other network to get peoples who use the application connected ?
You should look into how companies have created social networking over text messaging infrastructures

Sounds like you are probably going to get fired... How is it you have a job where you would be expected to do this.. but have no clue how to do it. 2 weeks is not long enough for you to "learn" android to do what you need to do. Id tell him now that you are cluless and need help otherwise , in 2 weeks when your project is due, he is going to be pretty dissapointed in your performance.
Better to admit you are a Dillard than try to cover it up.

Ops sorry my bad, I'm actually still a student , just that one of the lecturer assigned to be my supervisor and gave me one project before I graduate. Every students must finish a project before they graduate.
The program might not be perfect but at least it must be functioning.
I did some research and now I have some basic idea on developing android app.
Now I'll need any of you to guide me a little bit, about the database that will be used for android.
Example like creating a Registration interface, allow users to register but without internet connection, meaning that we use LAN or any other kind of connection.
Meaning that we create our own connection and get the users connected together.
Hey guys,
Forgive me if this is not the proper forum location to post this.
I have a question about an android system information app. My company is looking at using a very locked down smartphone in the retail stores as a SIP phone over WiFi. Essentially these phones would only be good for wifi calling through our network. I have been able to lock the phone down pretty good but I am having a little bit of trouble finding an app that will monitor the phone and report statistics back to us (through a web browser or email). Basically we would need to remotely check the usage/stats but we don't really want to use something like airdroid or teamviewer as this would disrupt the users usage. Any ideas on a good app? I haven't been able to find anything and I know you guys are digital wizards..
Thanks in advance guys!
Hi to everyone, this is my first post even if I've often read this beautiful forum. I have a question about hotspot capabilities in CyanogenMod 12 Lollipop (5.0.2). I had my S4(jftlexx) personal WPA protected hotspot (though with a very dummy password) and was sharing connection with my girlfriend, when suddenly looking at the phone I found out two devices where connected. As soon as I was aware I stopped the hotspot and now here's my question: if someone was able to deduct my hotspot password and connected to my personal hotspot, was it able to browse my personal file and eventually steal it?
I'm asking because I have on my phone very sensible data, that should remain on my own. I know that it's not directly possible without a dedicated app installed, like an FTP server (i have superbeam installed even I'm 100% sure its server was not running and sharing nothing), but someone with some knowledge and hacking intentions could be able to do this? thank you, and sorry, I'm a little in panic
We see you have also posted your question here http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/help/hotspot-security-t3100751

Hi guys, is it possible to limit the amount of data that a person can use?
For example, a friend of mine wanted to use my hotspot as he have no internet access. I decided to share with him 50 or 100mb of my data.
Is there an application that allows me to control how much data that the person can use? (E.g. 50mb) After that it will automatically turn off the mobile hotspot.
Thanks for your help.

Hello,
Trying to search for an answer I went back to threads from 2010 but without luck.
Currently I use a Nexus 5x with OmniRom 6.0.1., XPosed and microG with a Focus on privacy and security.
Until now I successfully refused to use WhatsApp but with new job/people/place it seems I'd need to hop on the bandwagon.
I had to get myself a new phone number (sim card) in this country and would like to use my old number too for my old contacts. A dual-sim phone makes sense there.
Now my question; how/is it possible to run two android systems on one phone at the same time, both with dedicated access to only whitelisted (XPrivacy eg.) data?
For the one sim card my usual privacy focused take, the other sim for WhatsApp/Google/Facebook - all those so called "social apps".
I don't want my data getting mixed up/tracked down/profiled with my other sim card and keep ist usage to a minimum. Mostly just reading group messages or posts
by other people.
From what I read, Google "Android at work" needs its own Business Server running for it. Won't work for me. I also remember Blackberry had a take on a private and work space once.
Or do I have to trust in/depend on the original phones software to manage the sim cards access?
What kind of software/hardware solution would you suggest to me? Regarding phone specs I'd prefer a good camera, ~ or <5" display (not >5") and a price as low as possible, ~ € 250.
Thank you!
