So I've been using the a neat feature on the 5T to disable network access on apps that chew up my data plan (specifically Spotify). I have a premium Spotify account and all my music is stored offline... Spotify doesn't need to waste my data to populate album art and lyrics.
This doesn't really play well when Spotify needs to check in with the mother ship on first start after a reboot.
Long story short, I'm trying to figure out a way I can invoke this option with either Tasker or a shell prompt. I've found that disabling background data modifies /data/system/netpolicy.xml. I'm just not sure if the setting is cached elsewhere and this file is used after boot.
I've also seen that I can disable ALL network access with the 'svc network enable/disable'... But this isn't quite what I'm looking for.

Have you tried data sever option? It can turn off background data for apps.

As seen in the attached screenshot above, I can do exactly as I need manually by toggling the 'Disabled DataUsage' option. I'm looking for a way to toggle this from either an intent action or shell command so I can essentially automate this with Tasker.
Basically, I will set up a script like this:
Open Spotify
->Tasker script starts
Enable cell data for Spotify
Wait 60 seconds
Disable cell data for Spotify
This leaves WiFi unaffected and won't waste my data plan.

FOUND THIS ON ENGADGET THIS MORNING. http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/16/google-music-authorization-limit-rooters/ I HAVE ALREADY HIT MY LIMIT AND HAVE MAXED OUT MY AUTHORIZATIONS. IF YOU USE GOOGLE MUSIC AND FLASH ROMS FREQUENTLY MAKE SURE YOU LIKE THE ROM BEFORE AUTHORIZING MUSIC ON THAT SETUP. ID CHANGER MAY WORK TO KEEP THE SETUP THE SAME BUT I DONT LIKE USING THAT APP BECAUSE IT AUTO REBOOTS AND DOESNT SHUTDOWN PROPERLY WHEN IT DOES.

Anyone else seeing high background wifi data use by allshare service? I have had my att note 2 for less than a week and it shows 666 mb of data. I have noticed a couple times where this service is killing my battery untill i force close it. I tried to disable in app settings but it wouldnt let me. I have never actually used this service for anything.

If you are willing to root your device you will be able to dosable this app or uninstall it. The reason you cannot disable it is they have balled their bloatware into the system apps. Those are the ones you cannot disable it in settings and apps.
You can use tibu or any other means to uninstall it
Ya figured I could if I rooted, but not doing that until I'm for sure keeping the phone. Only one week into owning and haven't decided 100% yet.

in that case you may want to just try a good ol fashioned battery pull and disable background data and processes in the settings menu.
Thanks for the advice but actually already done both. The data has only gone up by about 10mb since yesterday though. It's not a big deal just trying to figure out why that much data is being transfered for a service I have never used.

have you tried disabling allowing the phone to use your location for informatioon gathering, stuff like that will also affect background processes.
What is Flash-Transfer?
It is an app which provides a file-sharing functionality to your smartphone using Wi-Fi tethering. It can be used to easily connect to another android smartphone and then transfer apps,
images or any other files you may want to. We all have to agree that it is indeed a clever way to transfer data faster, given the slow speed at which Bluetooth works. This doesn’t even use your data plan, just connects to the other device over Wi-Fi.

Why Flash-Transfer?
Though similar apps already exist in the market, what defines Flash Transfer is its unique style of sharing files, aptly termed as Swipe & Share. It allows swipe like gestures to share photos, that seems more like magic rather than a useful feature. As illustrated, the photos being swiped out simultaneously comes into view in the receiving device, which is really a fun thing to watch. There is also a shake and share feature.
Its simple enough to configure and use, that once you open the Flash Transfer app on your phone or use the Swipe & Share option from the Gallery or File Manager, you can invite someone to share with. This invite appears in the form of a QR code which need to be scanned by the receiving party on their device to get connected. Once done, both phones can simply share any number files or apps that you want without any data charges.
IF I HELPED YOU IN ANYWAY

The Android Device manager. And the service has been finally launched.
The service helps you track your lost Android Phone over a real time map. Even you could make your phone ring remotely and even clear and wipe all the private data in case of a theft remotely, so that your data is kept private and safe. To use the service head over to the Android Device Manager website. There you can select your device from the list of recent devices that you have used with your Account, and then it will try to find your device on GPS. It will remotely turn on the GPS and once it connects to the device, it will start showing the exact location of your device on a map.
Once the device is located you could also make it ring, which is for the use if you have simply misplaced it and it is not a case of theft. And the phone continues to ring for 5 minutes on full volume, to turn it off you need to press the power button on the phone. And if you still can’t find it , you have a safe option to remove all your private data, so that it does not go into unsafe hands.To enable wipe phone data you have to go to the google settings app and under Android Device Manager enable allow factory reset
So the app looks good as off now, lets hope that they introduce some more interactive features to make the service more handy and useful to the cause.

So I finally decided to download foxfi again on my note 4 recently. The USB tethering option works great but Im unable to use the wifi option due to the fact that att is disabling the wifi. Ive hit the home key to see if that works but that isnt working. Ive checked to see if the network would come up on my computer but it did not show. Please help me, Im without out internet in my house because we're in the process of moving but I still have work to do!
You should be able to just use the WiFi Hotspot on your phone via setting --> hotspot unless you're still on unlimited data. If you're on unlimited then you have to be rooted if I'm correct.
Hope it helps.
Does anyone know what causes this? Ad detection apps don't work on my phone ("...has stopped working.") and it doesn't pop up from notification bar so I can't long-press to find source. It pops up from the bottom of the screen every time an app from Play Store installs or updates....ugh!!!!
