| Jul 22, 2015 at 10:18 | comment | added | Firelord♦ | Yeah sure! It can be easily done. My first choice would be to use AFwall+'s Profile and Tasker in combination. But because the former requires root access which you might not be having, so the hint may not be helping much. 2) Because it's about power saving, using firewall might not be a good idea because the poorly coded app would still continuously show up in Firewall logs requesting connection, and all...continued.. | |
