I'm looking for an app that lets me choose which application is currently allowed to use internet data.
My network operator has high costs, except if you use their web proxy to surf.
So I need a way to blacklist all applications except the web browser, when I'm connected through 3g data.
Can you help me?
By the sound of it Droid Wall is what you are after, it requires a rooted phone but then gives you complete control over what apps can access the internet

Thank you very much!
This would definitely solve my problem, unless I don't like to have a rooted phone.
If someone else has any suggestion he is welcome!
I've been wondering that we often switch rom between one and another. And we have to request for passwords for those protected networks repeating and that's kinda annoying. Is it possible that we can transfer WiFi data ?

This is not the right place to ask, ask it in Q&A here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2117
But because noobs will be noobs:
There are several ways to save or backup your wifi acces codes
I use Titanium Backup (as most people do)
But most other backup programs will also do..
Maybe try Carbon (it's free) - tough I have not tested it yet
EDIT: a simple google finds this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ryanamaral.wifi.passwords&hl=nl
(I googled: backup wifi acces android)
Has anyone heard about these?
http://nyti.ms/1EJPqQJ
Any way there's a hack to delete them?
Heard about them... yes.
Hack to delete, apparently not since it impacts data through Verizon's servers, not really something on the device.
It has been said that using a VPN will eliminate it from all data. For Web trafic, if you use Chrome and set it to conserve data, that also stops it (as data is going direct through Google's servers)
Mostly happy with Pie, but some features seem to be missing or hidden. For example, how do I stop apps from using any data in the background when connected via wifi? This has always been possible from settings->data usage-> wifi. But, now when I got into this setting and click an app, I only have the option to restrict MOBILE background data. That's nice. I want to restrict that TOO. But, how do I stop individuals apps from accessing wifi when they aren't foreground? (Would rather not use NetGuard or some other app to do this...)
I'm considering upgrading my S10+ to the S21 Ultra. Before I do I need to know if editing the APN settings will work the same, or are there other factors I need to be aware of.
Hotspotting is my primary way of connecting to the net, and has been for the past 10+ years. If I can't continue to connect in this way with the Ultra, what phones will work?
Yes I'm aware of PDAnet, it will not work for my use scenario. I must hotspot through the phone natively. I use in the range of 60 - 100gb each month. I'm on a grandfathered true unlimited plan.
Screen shots of the APN settings would be greatly appreciated, if applicable.
You can go directly to the hotspotting app if you know what you're doing.

Would you care to explain? I've used the native hotspot for years.
Can you provide any more information?
I can't tell if you are asking if hotspot works as intended on a stock sprint/tmobile phone? Like paying for the hotspot feature?
It's unclear what your grandfathered plan provides. Does that include unlimited hot spot?
Or are you asking if you can manually configure the APN to override how hotspot works, so you can use it without paying for the hotspot feature, assuming it's not included in your plan?
Are you just asking if you can edit the APN settings at all?
There is just too much uncertainty about what you are asking.

I do not have hotspot on my plan.
In order to use hotspot currently, a new APN entry is created adding "dun“ to a field, allowing hotspot to be activated without having a plan.
Here is a thread that explains the current method on older phones:
Sprint Hotspot Hack w/ Android 10
I lost my hotspot hack when I updated my Sprint S10 to Android 10 like everyone else but I just found a fix! It works on my S10 so I’m guessing it’ll work the same for S10+ users. ##3282# then APN Settings (The left clicking to unlock editing...

This forum wants to keep this "hack" on the down low.
All I will tell you is that you need to use some shortcut app that'll punch you through straight to the hotspotting app. This way, the carrier check is avoided.
Also, you MAY need to use a VPN because desktop traffic can become obvious.
An alternative is to VPN/tunnel into your home computer via Wireguard or some other software like ZeroTier or Tailscale.

I'm going to try to be vague with this reply. You're saying a MAKER of shortcut app will be needed to get into the functionality of LTE.
Wouldn't the ##data# menu work also? That's what I do now. And by doing so it doesn't show as tethered data used when I check my usage.
You just need to find a way to open the hotspot app directly.

I can already toggle the HS app natively.
I'm not sure we are on the same page.
So I guess getting any help or answers is pointless?
FYI: On Android 12 for Samsung you can add a new APN under Access Point Names without jumping thru hoops. Just tap on add new APN (make sure to copy everything from original APN) and add dun to the apn type field. Save the update and now you have free Hotspot (data counts against your main data bucket).
What about those who already have a restricted hotspot in their plan (high speed hotspot for first 500 MB, then switches to super-slow mode until reset the next billing cycle)?
Would adding a new APN result in unlimited hotspot? I can't tell if those with limited hotspot already enabled, would see any benefit to adding a new APN, or if it would even work?
