Hi!
There was this app on Miui Rom that would let you select wich apps would be able to connect on data plan. Is there any app on Play Store that does the same thing? And that works on S4.
Thanks!
You can simply restrict background data in settings - data usage. Then choose the app then scrool down and tick the restrict background data

Hi!
Going abroad and dont want to risk a huge data roaming-bill. Is there any way to turn off data roaming? Preferrably Wifi would still work, but if that's not possible then all data off.
HD Tweak is a nice little application which includes an option to disable data connections all together. I'm pretty sure this option will prevent you recieving data even if you tried to (ie not just background tasks) but will still allow wi-fi to work.
NoData

You might want to give "NoData" a go. This very small application (.cab) install creates an icon called NoData in programs. If you select this it runs the small app and asks what data connection you want to disable or re-enable.
It is ideal for what you want and many use it. Take a look at Paul's work here on Modaco (another good WM site): http://www.modaco.com/content/pocket-pc-software/246171/new-free-utility-nodata/

this app is disegned to disable automatically data in roaming...
I use NoData. Handy app which allows you to toggle Internet/data connections on/off so only wifi is available
I am going to the USA later this week and don't want to get stung with huge data roaming charges. Is there any way to force data to stay off, with an option to use wifi if needed? I used to use a program on my windows mobile called NODATA...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try this:
1. Type *#*#4636#*#* on your dial pad
2. Select "Phone Information"
3. Press "Menu" soft key
4. Select "More"
5. Select "Disable Data on Boot"
6. Reboot
Now data should be disabled (you won't see E/3G icons in the notification bar) and you can use WiFi whenever you want.
you can use my app "data on demand" for that (in the market). i would also recommend turning settings->wireless and network->mobile networks->data roaming OFF! this always worked for me!
I was just going to post the same thing...
Don't anybof the standard system settings provide the functionality to do the same? e.g. limit to 2g only and/or turning off data updates and/or data roaming etc. ?
Will check the app out though... If you do the keypad option, how do you then reenable or does it just come back on with a reboot meaning you have to do it each time you turn the phone on...?

Setting 2G only wouldn't stop data use, only high-speed data (though that would curtail the rate at which you can accumulate it). There is a setting to not use data while roaming, which should work, though entering incorrect data in the APN settings as I think these programs do would work too.

Settings->Wireless and Network->Mobile Networks->Uncheck Data roaming
That will disable any data use on networks other than your home-network! No other settings/configs are necessary!

Good. That's what I was hoping for/assumed it may do.
this topic should be stickied
Install APNdroid. You can place a widget on the homescreen to turn on, off APNs:

I was wondering this also as i am due to go away, but i still want to send and receive MMS (as it is included in my allowance) whilst away. So the question is, if i choose not to have data whilst roaming will this also stop MMS as this is also data? I have a suspicion that it would, so, would the only other option be to just put some bogus APN settings in for internet but keep my MMS settings as it should be? Any ideas? Thanks a lot.
Don't know why people are going into this vast overkill....
Just go into your settings, wireless networks, ensure "Enable data while roaming" is unchecked. In fact, it will be unchecked by default, at least in the Bell rom.
This setting works perfectly (I just went to the US this past weekend), so i see no reason to screw around with the APN or reboot the phone or install other hacky apps. If this box is unchecked the instant you switch to roaming your data is disabled.
The Liberty rom doesn't appear to have an option to change data roaming options. The stock OTA steps advise:
To enable/disable data roaming:
Press the Menu key from the Home Screen.
Touch Settings
Touch Data manager
Touch Data Delivery
Activate checkmark under Background data to enable data sharing in background
Activate checkmark under Data Roaming to connect to data services when roaming
Of course, with Liberty, Data manager doesn't exist, so how do I enable it?
hy guys
i want to that is there any method to limit network data usage for specific app.i know there is restrict background usage,and limit data e. g 1 gb but for all apps. i want to set data limit for a specific app. like uc browser can not exceed 1gb data limit but other apps can
hope there maybe a method
duplicated plz delete this
Hi there,
Seen many posts online, folks explaining how to do it and some ROMs have it, question, does anyone see a clear way of disabling ONLY MOBILE/DATA on 2ND SIM? It seems the enable is for BOTH SIMs... best I could find is use a dummy data-plan, and set the quota to 1MB or smaller value, trying to figure if there's a way to totally shutdown only mobile data, not the actual SIM, so it does not attempt connection (plan-b I've seen folks editing the APN with rubbish, prefer not to go there if possible)..
Thanks for any ideas..

OK, FIGURED This out. This answer is specific to MIUI ROM it might work on other similar devices to 7A..
Two options:
1) Settings-> "SIM Cards & Mobile networks" > "Set data plan" > "Data PLAN" (for SIM2), then in "Peak data limit" set to 1KB, in "When data plan is used up" set "Warn and turn off mobile data" go back one screen, in "Enter data usage" type "10GB", this will automatically EXCEED the limit, and block access to mobile.
second option is:
2) Open the Security Center app, main page will show things to fix, there is a "plugin" named: com.miui.securityadd ("Security service plugin") , however on the security center app the name is not printed, it's an icon of a DROP of WATER, on mine it's second from top on right side, click that then you get the mobile data top-level GUI view.
click "Restrict data usage", under mobile data, check the TOP sim2, the warning "Restrict sim2 mobile data connection from all apps", and clicking restrict will block all apps from sim2/mobile.. there is also a "default apps access" if u really want to account for future apps..
now u know how to disable, only hope you can remember how to REENABLE should the need arise
hopefully will help someone..
