I need an app that controls internet access (on-off data connection) to my android phone.
I want it to enable the internet every 30 minutes or 1 hour when not using my phone and secondly, I want it to enable the internet automatically when I unlock my screen.
Purpose:
Is there such app?
Thanks
There are several apps doing exactly what you describe, which I call Data Stutterer. More precisely, if you only want the listed features, AutoData will be perfect:
AutoData (source: Google Play; click images for larger variants)
As the screenshots show, this app exactly meets your listed requirements: When the screen is on, data will be enabled – and when it's off, they will be enabled periodically with a configurable interval. All that completely free, of charge and of ads.
If you want more, take a look at apps for Automation (Profile Switching and more). My favorite here is Tasker, which is capable of many things (also see my collection of Tasker Resources). It's not free (about EUR 3 currently), but worth every cent.
