I know this is all over the web but, all the activity I have seen is a month old so just thought I check out. Is there a way to quickly diaable mobile data. Seems absurd to me that google actually removed programatic access to this funcion.

Settings / data usage / cellular data toggle. I think it used to be under more/ cellular networks. You can also tap the cellular icon in quick settings and you'll see the toggle at the top.
This is on 5.0

I know of that path, What I meant was: every single apn disabling tool I tried stopped working. Before I used tasker to trigger APNDroid, but that's gone now. I think I wasnt clear before, sorry!

If you have root you might want to try my app/widget Toggle Data 5.0. It doesn't change APNs but I think it fits your purpose well.

I am not allowed to post in the developer thread so am posting here. I have Minimoto 1.7 installed on my D3. I love it, but am travelling in another country now and can't figure out how to control data roaming. The standard Battery/Data settings menu item is not there. Any suggestions/solutions?
Thanks

Thanks. Do you know if this will let you control data roaming? It looks like it just keeps it on all of the time.
I don't know, I've never had cause to use it, try asking in the app thread

The app only enables data roaming right now.
Tomorrow if I have some time I will upload a new version with a disable button.
UPDATE
I just uploaded a new version which allows for manually disabling data roaming.

This is very useful. Thanks. I was travelling in Italy and had no way to turn data roaming on and off because that control is missing form the menu.
Note3 on AT&T, the pull down control/toggle panel is missing the Mobile Data 3G/4G option. I don't see this under Edit as well. I was waiting for the 4.4 upgrade, but looks like this was missed in 4.4 as well.
Any other way?
I just use a mobile data widget from the playstore

I'm going to use chronicaust's directions for the download booster, except I changed the download booster to the mobile hotspot, since the directions for the shortcut are nearly identical.
TO GET THE QUICKSETTINGS TILE: ROOT ACCESS IS REQUIRED.
1. Download SQlite editor version 2.1. It's 2.99 in the playstore, unless you obtain it free from somewhere else.
2. In apps, find settings storage > settings.db > system
3. Search for notification
4. Choose Notification_Panel_Active_App_List (there are a few VERY similar ones, make sure its the right one.
5. Add WiFiHotspot; Make sure you don't forget that semicolon.
6. Reboot
Mine was a little buggy, so I deleted the shortcut.
Thanks for the response. I ended up using Power toggles app.
Add widget to home screen.
Modify widget by clicking add.
Add WiFi hotspot item.
Click done in upper left corner.

Should have looked for my similar thread first before posting a new one but here ya go:

I changed build.prop:
ro.product.name=kltexx
ro.product.device=klte
The last tile on the becomes "Wi-Fi hotspot" (next to Toolbox).
The pull down also changed: now it has "S Finder" and "Quick Connect". 4G LTE icon also changed to 4G and 4G changed to H+.
Then for some reason, even I remove AT&T's Mobile Hotspot app by Titanium Backup Pro, after a factory reset the icon comes back in Apps, without AT&T's provision though.
Need a tasker profile which can disable my mobile data only for some specific apps.it means If I start those apps then my mobile data would automatically disabled and when I close them Data service should be enbled.If any one know this or can help on this then That wud be very helpfull
No clue how to do this, or what I'm going to suggest. But, have you thought about maybe going the other way where you block all internet access to the app?
edit: actually a quick google search gave me all the answers keyword: block internet access android app

The secure settings plugin has a toggle for mobile data, you'd just have to trigger it with an app. I do this with GPS.
Edit: I tried it with mobile data but it throws an error. In theory it should work but doesn't seem to be.

I don't understand what you mean by "put all apps to Wifi".
I do know that if you have a wifi connection with internet access (no ! on the wifi status bar icon) and mobile data turned on, then the system will use the wifi connection in preference to the mobile data connection.
If you don't want to use mobile data, you can just turn it off in Settings>SIM & network>Mobile data or from Quick Settings if you have it there. You will still be able to get phone calls and SMS.

mate let me explain
I want to try the free Facebook, so I need to turn on my mobile data for this.
so I did that but I don't want other apps use any data in background so I set all apps to "WiFi Only" also I did that for system apps
but my problem is even when I do that, it's still showing that I'm using mobile data and something using it in the background.
it was working alright on the android 7.
thank you!!

Ah, now I understand.
I assume that you can't tell from the Settings>Mobile data usage who is using the data?
I don't know if this is off any relevance, but there's a number of apps that have unrestricted data access (Settings>Apps> Special access>Unrestricted data access).
Have you considered running a network activity monitoring app?

I know the problem now
probably I have to disable the first choice "background data"
but I should do it for each app... and I have more than 130 app that's impossible...
