Any way to disable app foreground data?

[xeene]

I know I can disable background data in data settings, but is there a way to do it also for foreground data? I don't want some apps to have any connection with the net but also don't want to disable data completely on the phone.

Are you talking about a firewall? You can allow and deny access to any app.

Go into settings, data usage, and check set mobile limit. click on the app and you will be able to disable it from running in the background, ie g+, twitter, or other social apps that like to run wild in the background killing battery life.

I'm talking about blocking some apps access to the net on my phone when I use them. Example...

I want to block coin dozer from accessing internet when I'm playing it.

Hmm the only way i know, other than what i said, is to disable data while playing the game. Other than that not sure.

I would love to know this too. Seems like we should be able to disable all data to any given app.

If you are rooted you can use one of the various firewall applications, like this one https://market.android.com/details?id=com.googlecode.droidwall.free .

Without being rooted, I would think the only option is to disable data completely. I could be wrong on this though.

Xeene, this is a great suggestion. In fact, if I weren't rooted and needed to do what you are requesting, I would root just to use this app.

Good luck.
