Moving this to Studio's side as it's a layoutlib issue, not a framework issue.
mv...@gmail.com <mv...@gmail.com> #5
While the fix takes care of the critical section for Paparazzi, have you evaluated the impact of these synchronization when used for preview in Android Studio (which impacts majority of Android developers)?
Have you considered a solution where synchronization is to be opted in and can be enabled only by paparazzi?

The fix has nothing to do with Paparazzi. The code in Android Studio is broken and a similar test case as above written inside a View rendered with preview will cause the IDE to crash.

Please re-instate the "setMobileDataEnabled" method via Reflection. Don't close off Android and make it like Apple. If I want a dumb mobile device and OS, I would buy Apple, not Android. Please reverse your decision.

Hi,
Is there at least a native way to have a widget to turn on/off the 3g connection?
I'm a simple user...but it just seems unfair to developers that trusted android to simply do things in this way. What will happen to developers like the one for 3g watchdog? Is there going to be better versions of this app but only for other platforms? :/ I'm starting to regret upgrading to v5 :(

I have found this piece of code:
TelephonyManager tm = (TelephonyManager)getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);
Method methodSet = tm.getClass().getDeclaredMethod( "setDataEnabled", boolean.class);
methodSet.setAccessible( false);
methodSet.invoke(tm, true);
This code needs the following permission:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.MODIFY_PHONE_STATE" />
However, this permission is not allowed and this is the error:
"Permission is only granted to system apps"
I guess that only rooted phones could use this code. I don't want to root my phone just because of this.
Now, if the Google would allow developers to place the permission above for "normal" applications, not the system ones, this would let programs turn on/off packet data. If that would be the case, then customers would decide weather to trust the application on not, when downloading from the store, just as they do it every day. Even bettter, put the code in the API so we don't have to use Reflection.

I hope that someone from Google is reading this. Why applications cannot enable/disable packed data? Is it because of security? Because some malicious application could turn on packet data and produce extra costs to users?
Well, what about sending text (SMS) messages? Any application can send text message and produce extra cost. It is up to the user who is installing the app from the Play to decide if he/she will trust the application.
The same should stand for the this issue. Being able to enable/disable packet data from the application is *mandatory*! Lots of applications need that feature! Lots of developers depend on this feature!
Google should reconsider their policy about this and should put the enabling/disabling packed data features in the official API.

As a user I am really really really disappointed by Google having removed the 3rd party access to mobile data switch.
On Kitkat I had a 3rd party widget to switch from mobile data to wifi (and viceversa) with just ONE tap on the home screen.
Another app was able to AUTOMATICALLY disable my data connection when my planned daily quota is reached.
NFC smart tag and another app allowed me to change my phone settings (including mobile data status) entering my office (or my home) even WITHOUT TOUCHING the screen.
All this is gone with lollipop!!
People use Android because there are plenty of applications around to let us doing what we want to do IN THE WAY WE LIKE!
If "security" is the main concern, why not letting the user to grant the right to switch mobile data on and off only to selected application?

fa...@gmail.com <fa...@gmail.com> #23
It has nothing to do with security.
An app can steal all your contact and calendar information, an app can send SMS/MMS and make you spend money, all this is possible via the permission system already present in android.
What is the difference between changing data state and sending SMS? None, either you do not allow any of them or you allow both.
IMHO the only reason for G to do this is because: "We want you online 24/7 so we can better control/track whatever you do and we can easily collect all the data we want at any time". They added a battery saver that restrict SOME background data (basically only data from other APP, data that is not required by Google).
Now... prove me wrong....

I agree with number 21. I'm a user, not a developer. Trying to find out why my chosen battery saver app no longer works. I was going to buy another app when I discovered that too would not work to control data usage as this functionality has been taken away by Google in the V5 update. My Nexus 5 is back to lasting half a day which is terrible for my business.
Like post 21 suggests. Please trust us with the choice of whether to trust an app or not and not treat us like idiots. The reason I've chosen Android over Apple for my last 3 phones is the freedom of choice afforded and not treating its end users like automatons. I need my battery saver to work again. Other than that Lollipop is great. Love the look and all the new features. Just stop taking away the old useful ones.

Google has gone two steps backward with Android 5.x release. Before, Android was distinctively different to Apple about openness. Now, whenever I see Android, I see Apple. What a shame! I was going to buy a few Android devices for family and relatives as Xmas gifts for 2014. But seeing the devices I will be buying will have Android 5.0 in them [as seen in online reviews], I have decided to forego both Google-Android and Samsung and will buy Microsoft's Nokia mobile offerings instead, or Microsoft-Samsung's offerings if there are any available this Xmas season. Too bad, Google do not understand that customers nowadays are more tech-savvy than we were twenty, or even ten years ago.
So long Google and Android! I won't lose any sleep over you [both].

There are users and customers* like me which have data plans with daily or weekly limits: your approach to protect us from unwanted bills doesn't work. It never worked for us.
Exceeding the daily quota would, in my case, cost me a lot of money, probably a couple of months of internet in a few seconds.
Applications like 3g Watchdog were a money saver so please consider adding back this api and making it official.
If you did this for security concerns, please remember that you still allow applications to use mobile data. Think about this simple scenario, extended from #22
EvilApp downloads megabytes of useless data
GoodApp wants to disconnect mobile data because data is approaching the limit
GoodApp is not able of doing this anymore and EvilApp will cost users (and customers) money.

Sure, I understand the drawback of reflection. But instead of removing it completely, google should have just added a supported way to disable the radio, just like with wifi. There are lots of apps that use the setMobileDataEnabled(), and we wouldn't have a problem switching to a new supported api. How could you guys be so short sighted?

I'm just a tech savy user (a developer in a past life :-), and also really annoyed that Google have arbitrarily decided to block this functionality. I can no longer use apps or widgets to control my mobile data state, which is a major battery killer, esp. in rural areas with weak signals.
I agree with #22, I think the reality is that Google don't want it's Android users to go offline. Have you noticed that when you switch mobile data using the system dialog you get "r u sure" when switching it off, but not when switching it on?
Google - try listening to your customers.

Not an Android developer but I am a user and I think that this removal of such API is one of the most inconsiderate and mind blinded things Google has done. I am not upgrading to Lollipop until mobile data switch will be programmatically be possible again. Or if things will not change I will eventually root my phone. Consider that I bought an App with this feature and now with Lollipop this App will be mostly useless. I know you need mobile data on to track us down every second but you must consider that if you don't give us users a choice you will eventually loose us.

First, it was Flight Mode being taken away and is now only available via root. Now, it's the Mobile Network function. What's next? Would some day Bluetooth, or heaven forbids, NFC, become a casualty, too?!
Google needs to wise up. Learn from the lessons of Nokia, BlackBerry, OS2 Warp [from IBM], Windows Vista and Windows 8 fiasco [from Microsoft]. And, the lesson is: "LISTEN to your CUSTOMERS and your DEVELOPERS community" - as they are the ones who makes you a lot of money. Without Android customers and developers, Google Play Store is... next to useless.
I hope Google is not doing this deliberately to push all the Java developers off to Microsoft? Because it looks like they are doing it! Amend your mistakes now, and who knows, some day Android will become No. 1 and Google's shares will outvalue Apple. Do it not, Google will become the next Nokia!
First thing Google should do is: Fix your damn broken security model and make it dynamic.

Everybody knows mobile data consumes the battery most. Users want to have their android phones last longer. I can understand that Google wants to have the phones online for "some reasons". But if this function is a security issue then Google indirectly encourages and forces users to have their phones rooted to enable such functionalities.
Which one is secure root or enabling functions?
Ok I'm a developer but I dont care my app. I want to use my phone more than one day.
If you cannot enable this function for "security reasons" then create a setting like "Toggle to 2G when the screen is off". User can continue to use mobile data on highest rate when the screen is on. Simple huh? This way we will save our batteries and the phone will be always online like you want Google.
Please dont encourage users for root.

To be honest the only reason why it was blocked was because of a undocumented bit of code. The problem is Google knew developers were using this undocumented feature to provide a solution people needed, either by a scheduling app or a widget on the home screen. What Google has not done is provided a Official way to do this, or any other solution. This is what Google should do.
1. Provide Official APIs to enable this feature with security and permission model in API level 22 or add an API to Play Services.
2. Google to provide an on screen widget by default to AOSP
3. Google to provide an tasker app to schedule this behaviour.

Really? What is the next step, adding a "Control center" to enable manual control on such banal functionalities & sell it as a killer feature?
If this goes on like this (reducing system functionalities, limiting the possibilities for third party apps), the only difference between Android and iOS will be the fact of having to deal with multiple manufacturers on disparate modified versions of the system (great advantage! way to go!).
Also, did you ever hear of the concept "backwards compatibility"?. If an error was made in the API definition, and if you really honour backwards compatibility (which you clearly don't), you should do one of these:
1. Deal with it: keep the functionality as is
2. Announce removal: mark a functionality as deprecated (and the reason for it) together with a statement on when will the feature be removed (e.g. 'will be removed in the next major release'). Optionally, if you really care about third party developers, adding an alternative method is quite nice.
It seems like you are using backwards compatibility wrongly as a shield to defend removing this feature. Just have the guts to say "we don't want third party applications to configure the system status anymore", or even better "sorry, we will add the functionality in successive bug fix releases".

I believe Google have made these changes to ensure that users are always online so that they can consume more online content and their behaviour can be tracked more easily.
The only retaliation to these restrictions that I can think of is to restrict Google's ability to monitor/push data to you. I have now uninstalled Google Now, unsubscribed from their location services and location tracking and I have encouraged others to do the same. The benefit from any of these services is, in my opinion, marginal to the user while offering valuable data to Google.
Until Google realise that users should be given a convenient way of disabling internet on their phones and allow convenient tracking of what data and when it is shared, I will do my best to respond to their efforts.
Please reinstate this feature asap

Letting any APP to toggle ON/OFF Mobile data and sleep mode without some sort of user acknowledge can be dangerous and expose to security risks. The way it should be done is to have a manual only setting were the user can give API permission to selected APPs. This way only manually allowed APPs should be able to toggle Mobile data and sleep mode through API preventing unauthorized and unwanted toggles.
I still hope the API will be restored, what do you think Google?

If it is a security matter, then it should be possible to recycle the mobile-data, if it is already on.
My problem are, that when cell-signal goes, and comes again, there are mobile-data, but the internet will not work until a recycle mobile-data.. or sometime wait for 30 minuttes. This is on a Nexus 7 (2013) with Lollipop :/

For those who have upgraded to Lollipop and regret their decisions, you can still downgrade the Android firmware in your device.
For Samsung mobile devices, you can use Odin (search online for the Windows executable) to install an Android firmware onto your device. Samsung's Android firmwares can be downloaded directly athttp://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ . Note: You will need to register at the site before you can download Android firmwares.
For other Android mobile brands (LG, Motorola, Sony, etc), check outhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/ . You should be able to find the Android firmware you need, plus the tool to install the firmware onto your Android device.

I don't like it when the OS that touts it's flexibility forces me to few options. I used to have a widget that managed wireless, brightness, Bluetooth, and airplane mode. I loved it because it allowed me to easily toggle off various antennas and my screen brightness to save power when I knew I wouldn't have access to a reliable signal or I wouldn't be using my phone. Please bring this ability back.

I'm having to keep my mobile data turned off all the time now as the ability to toggle it on and off via a 'tasker' style app in relation to time and location no longer works.

I am also a user. I suddenly find myself having to use 5 steps to turn data on/off when I used to be able to do this in 1 step with a widget.
It seems clear to me that android does not want people to turn data off. Not only has it been made harder, an annoying "Are you sure?" message pops up every time I turn data off but not on (surely this is the wrong way round?! No one loses money by accidentally NOT having data on) and I also get a warning message very time my phone is turned on about data not being enabled.
Please please android, reverse this decision! My phone is only two months old, I'd just gotten used to actually being able to use smart features on a phone with decent speeds and use data more and you've suddenly made it a lot harder as I am worried about using data in case I have to stop using my phone suddenly and can't turn data off, then get charged through the roof.

From what I can find on the net replicant is an sdk for android apps, not an os. I'd like to see a fork of the os, with kitkat kept current with bug & security fixes, ported improvements/updates to web engines/bluetooth/nfc/etc, and perhaps the odd feature enhancement/permission restructure such as bringing back easier sdcard management.

When I bought this phone I didn't do my research, I beleived the hype and the numbers indicating a free linux derived os on hardware that rivals my 8 year old desktop, all that fit's in my pocket. I assumed getting used to touch screen would be the worest of my worries. Kid, was I wrong. Locked out bootloaders, proprietary firmware, apps just fall out of memory like a loose fart, ridiculus hoops to jump through for admin privledges, terrible rooting articles on cnet (hint: it's impossible for me to ever get back to stock, unless I pay half a days wages to use sunshine to s-off my phone first)...
It's still a lot more useful than a dumb phone, but it's closer to it's dumb phones 'designed by and for monkeys' os counterparts than anything a desktop has to offer.

I also tried to install a software 3g watchdog that says the function is no longer available. It is awful that google wants to force us to play their games. My internet plan is very small because I rarely use it, but it would be wonderful to find a way to block its traffic when the plan reached around its end.
Come on google.... you work for us, and not the other way round !!!
Lollipop should come with something to control and block not only wi-fi but also 3g or 4g internet traffic at a given amount set by the client.... it is hard to control it .. having to check it periodically is almost like suffering of an Obsessive Compulsive disorder... and I don`t want to be paranoid about my bounced bytes.. hehehe

ri...@gmail.com <ri...@gmail.com> #101
Re #99, Lollipop does actually support limiting your mobile usage. In the mobile data settings screen, enable Set Mobile Data Limit, then you have two sliders you can move on the graph, one for a warning level, the other for absolute limit.
I also use 3G Watchdog, because it gives more useful information about usage, including prediction, but I now rely on Android to block excess usage.
But that's still no excuse for Google not offering a supported API for managing mobile data. And as I've said before, there should be an API to switch the mobile radio itself on and off, same as you can with WiFi & BT. There is no point having the phone radio enabled when there is no cell tower in range, the phone just drains power hunting for a signal it will never find. I don't think Google's developers understand what the real world is like outside of their highly-connected tech campuses!
Until 4 years ago I used Palm phones, and had a brilliant 3rd party app that would switch off the radio if there was no signal for say 5 mins, then periodically turn it on for a short time to check for a connection, and if none turn it off again. All parameters tunable. Yielded massive battery saving in rural areas. So now we have the so-called more advanced Android system, but something as basic and essential as that is impossible. :-(

If it's free, you're the product. Google is a multi-billion dollar corporation, yet does anyone actually pay for searches, email, android, etc? And yet they're making money off of giving you free products and services.
Now I'd argue I paid a bucket load for my smartphone, but that doesn't mean the hardware vendor or service carrier paid a damn thing for the OS.
So no, google doesn't work for you.

As a developer and as a user I honestly believe, too, that this is a bad move. Since Android has a permissions system, the logical and right move would be to make it as a permission. In the end, it is the user's responsibility to accept or not accept certain apps, depending on the permissions they require. One of my applications ,that manages the mobile data for the user, does not work anymore on Lollipop and it is becoming a problem, since, according to the users, it is an application that they like to use. It is very useful for them, as for me, too! So, I am politely asking GOOGLE, make it a permission (or sth similar) and let the users decide how to use THEIR devices. THANK YOU.

Hi,
Many months have passed and what it used to be a cool and close to people company like google, had no given any response whatsoever. My Nexus5 (I had Nexus4 before) is still running so slow and drains battery in like 10 hours...and this annoying thing of not being able to switch on-off data usage with a widget like the one in 3gWatchDog or use my NFC stickers.
Well, last thursday my brand new iPhone 6s arrived. :) I'm so happy to say that I love it. So far I have 2 android phones (nexus5 and SIII). I'm throwing those two away to stick with my new iOS phone both for work and personal use.
I know I'm just one simple android user...but ey google, i'm YOUR user and I'm basically changing to iOS for showing no interest in me as a customer.
Hope someone in google read this and do care enough to at least, give an answer to this thread. In the meanwhile, iOS it is for me and my Nexus5 is going to be now powered on in my home to use it as a survileance camera.

Please provide an option to turn on/off mobile data programmatically. What problem do you have if some apps turn on/off mobile data. If you want to ensure safety, put a permission.

Everyone want to turn on/off mobile data with a single touch in a notification or with a widget. Now, they have to go to settings and turn on/off there. This is ridiculous. If android is open source, why are you restricting options. If you continue with this, you'll see less and less apps developed in android. Its for sure.

One very IMPORTANT reason to turn data off is to protect our health! Data emits large amounts of dangerous radiation. This has been proven to be harmful and can even be deadly. For this reason alone, Google should stop blocking apps that control data.
I believe the TRUE reason for Google not wanting us to be able to easily turn data off is their desire to keep track of everything we do! Google has become an intrusive super spy, compiling info on everyone for Google's profit and power. They are now in collusion with certain politicians and the NSA, and they are now hiding and blocking certain sites they don't "like".
Note to Google: You can still make lots of money without giving us cancer, intruding on our privacy and blocking our first amendment rights.

Please re-enable the setMobileDataEnabled feature. This was extremely useful in conserving battery life while on wifi using automation apps such as onX, Tasker, AutomateIt and the like.
an...@thinksoft.it <an...@thinksoft.it> #163
The setMobileDataEnabled feature should be available as standard API (as it is for WiFi) and not via reflection. Just add a new permission as is already done for wifi.

I'm an Android user of several years, and the best thing I ever did to my phone was install Tasker, and program it to radio settings.
It's 02:00, all connections automatically off.
It's 07:00, I'm connected to home WiFi, mobile data off.
I get in the car, drive away, phone loses Wifi, turns on Bluetooth, connects to car, turns WiFi off and mobile data on, etc etc etc.
For the few times I need it, I have tasker desktop widgets to quickly switch to mobile data mode, offline mode, etc.
NOW, I have to pull down the screen top menu, swipe across, and turn data on or off ALL THE TIME!
I can't see any justification for this, it's just bloody ridiculous.
The advantage of Android was SUPPOSED to be flexibilty. Choice. In return they get my statistics, well fine I can live with that. But where has my CHOICE gone? Day by day, it's draining away...

Works as intended?!?! NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This might be working as Google intends, but definitely how developers and users intend.
If my battery is in running low I put my phone into what I call "dumb-phone mode" turn off ability to do anything except call and text. I used to use Tasker to disable or enable my mobile data. Now not only does that not work, which took two taps of the screen by the way, now there is an added layer of menus to get to turn "standard data" on or off. I could almost understand this added layer if there were multiple items to choose from, but on my phone, there is only one!! POINTLESS!!!!!
One 'solution' would be to put a data toggle in the Notification Shade, like there used to be. Then you would not need to compromise 'security' to give users convenience. There are many users who are willing to sacrifice security for convenience, and will either root, or switch to a custom ROM. How's that for security?

As mentioned earlier in this conversation, Google's motivation is to make it an annoyance to turn the mobile data on/off, therefore "convincing" users to stay connected 24/7 in order to garner as much data/statistics as possible. But that is no the only reason behind this. Google is not the only entity that want users connected 24/7 -- the hardware manufacturers and service providers do as well. The hardware manufacturer's also benefit from the data/statistics accumulated. The worst offenders are the service providers. They want users to burn through their service plan gigabytes so they start getting charged extra for the "over-bytes". Let's not forget that users are NOT Google's real customers -- the hardware manufacturers and service providers are. Google does not care about the users.
On another note -- Android IS open source and there are variations out there (such as Amazon's). Does anyone know if Amazon's Fire suffers from this same deliberate feature denial?

Had you left this ability working, I would have had data ON except when I am using Wifi...but since you have taken the ability to automate this AWAY from ME, I am going to take your benefits of capturing data usage AWAY from YOU!
Thank you VERY much!

I'm a developer as well (battery commander) and have just discovered this issue. I refuse to upgrade to a phone with an OS that doesn't support this feature. Disabling mobile data is the single best thing you can do to extend battery life, not to mention keep your cell phone bill down by preventing overages. Do better than just bringing back this option, make it a standard method we can call in the API.

Hi Google Team,I am using both app "AutoDataOnOff" or "AutoWiFiOnOff" to control mobile data on off to save battery life. Can you consider the option control in Setting menu, may be it have a control in Setting->Developer options to allow user app control mobile data, it likes "Allow mock locations". It may be a flexible solution to keep security for normal users and have control for experienced users.

Automatically enabling/disabling mobile data I used extensively at night to keep any data type notifications from coming through, so that I can keep my phone on for emergencies, without my sleep being disturbed by notifications coming through. Then in the morning I have a fixed time I put it back on automatically by AutomateIt, in case I forget to do it manually (which happens SO often). THE best thing about Android has always been its customizability....with design decisions like this you are moving in the direction of Apple and Windows..... please dont!

If this is the case, then clearly Google do not care in the least.
I suggest that if one wishes to kick off, a list be compiled of all the functions that this has broken, all that things we now can't do, all the useful apps that this has broken, all the useful tools and multi-tools, all the handy shortcuts, all the protections (switching on mobile data upon power on, for a phone which was switched off whilst looked, in order to send an email with sound recording, GPS position info, three delayed front facing camera photos to the lawful owners' Gmail address would be a good arguably desireable function for example), or having a widget on the desktop to switch off WiFi are all silly little things people just used to like to be able to be doing, because they weren't using iOS.
Once a list is compiled of just how much damage is done by Google's ridiculous and intransigent stance it's a simple matter to publicize it.

I've just been to a talk at Google's London HQ and afterwards I managed to get a few minutes with a senior developer relations chap, and brought this issue to his attention. Initially he said he was aware of this but when I showed him this page and he scrolled through the comments he expressed genuine surprise that there were still people commenting on this even long after it had been closed.
He wouldn't give me any guarantee it would be fixed and said that Google may have been pressured by the mobile operators to keep data on, but he did say that Google will definitely pay attention to issues that attract a lot of comments, so please keep banging on about this and eventually Google may get the message.

Continuous mobile data connection is a huge battery eater... Enabling this function by default and periodic synchronization would easily reduce world wide power consumption equivalent to around 1-2 power plants. What a waste not to do so!!

PS: I don't think anyone from Google is really looking at this thread anymore now that they have the class action suites on Nexus 6p and the LG phones to worry about among million other things. Bringing a function back for devs from 3 years ago might be the last thing on their mind. Might need more effective ways for calling them out on this other than just venting here.

I fully agree this is a shame and this is even a case where Google abuse of its monopoly : the setdataenable exists but is only available to system application. We are a SMS/MMS application and the bottom line line is that we have to explain to the users who complains they need to switch the data by hand each time a MMs is received : that Google screwed up, they only the stock sms application has such rights to switch the data ON to receive the MMS, For users who are trying to control and minimize the data usage it's a burden and they have to remain using the stock SMS/MMS application. This should be a normal permission where the user has to give it or not, his choice! not yours (google). Play fair with you developers. Best.

Very annoying move, Google. Some people have a legitimate reason to control mobile data. After all, that's why you have a permission system for Android, so that programmers and users can decide for themselves. Why don't you leave the control freak stuff to those Apple people! You are getting more like them all the time.

I rooted my Samsung S7, installed Android Firewall (from Jason Tschohl) and created a mobile network toggle widget for myself using the method found at https://chuonglepham.wordpress.com/2017/10/07/android-setmobiledataenabled-method/ .
Otherwise, I'll spend huge money every month because I constantly go over my mobile data limit, and I can't see where the mobile data is used. So, root is the only way to go.

I have a Samsung S6 and I need to toggle automaticly mobile data of after 10 min to preserve my battery and my person from electrnic smog. Thx
[Deleted User] <[Deleted User]> #255
Yes, root is the ONLY way to go!
But root alone is not enough to limit your mobile data usage. After rooting, you'll also need to:
1. Install Titanium Backup and remove all the bloatware crap like: Google Movie / Music / Newstand, Launcher3, Hangout, Google+, Photo, Youtube, Samsung Music Hub / Game Hub / News Hub, Samsung Apps, Samsung Health, Samsung Link, other Samsung bloatwares that you'll never ever going to use, Sony bloatwares, Motorola bloatwares, and so on; then
2. Install Android Firewall (from Jason Tschohl) and select ONLY the apps that can access Wi-Fi or mobile network and enabled the Firewall feature.
3. Install AdAway (from Dominik Schürmann) to remove all ads from scrupulous apps.
4. Android 5 plus: Check which permissions is allowable for every app requesting permission. Pay close attention to permission requiring network access.
5. Create a mobile network toggle widget for yourself using the method found athttps://chuonglepham.wordpress.com/2017/10/07/android-setmobiledataenabled-method/ , or better still, find an Android app that can automate this process for you like DroidSet, Llama, MacroDroid, etc.
So, you won't have to worry anymore about over usage of your mobile data or big companies like Google constantly tracking you and serve useless ads and other nonsense to your device without your approval.

How come this issue is marked "Word as intended"? I don't understand nor do I support this decision from Google. Are you doing this deliberately to cost consumers vast money by not being able to disable mobile network data at will - like via a toggled widget? Being an Android user, this really sucks big time! Maybe I should go back to Apple. I don't need this restriction for Android.

Yes, please keep up the pressure on this. The customer must come first even though in Google's case that is advertisers, not users. However, the motivation for this comes either from networks or spooks who are not Google's customers. It is costing users money so migration to Apple will cost both Android licencing and advertising revenue to Google

This isn't possible with iOS either, its one of the biggest reason I used to like Android. Google is becoming the new Apple in terms of restrictions and design decisions. We can only hope at this point we get more competition to knock Google and Apple off their thrones.
I'm adding this response here to do another +1 as I'd like to see this feature come back.

Still no public method to switch off the mobile network?!
It's funny how Google touted that their newer Android operating systems save user's more battery power, but they left the back door open - having mobile network on all the time consumes as much power as anything that runs on Android.
Go figure!

I just rooted my Samsung Galaxy S10 in order to use a third-party widget (for now) to disable mobile data when it's not needed. Running a benchmark app against mobile data reveals that it consumes more memory and battery juice than what's needed for operation.
I can see now why everyone is complaining about the lack of a public feature to switch off mobile data on Android. It's a must-have for any Android phones - old or new.
It looks like I may have to write an assembly programme to patch Android framework's communication layer and release it as a public library or binary so everyone can use it to patch their Android devices - regardless of Android operating system levels (Android 10, 11 and beyond) - to have the freedom and the ability to switch off mobile data when it's not needed.

Are you saying that you can do that patch on unrooted phones?
If so, you may get a visit from men in trenchcoats because I suspect this
"bug" (intended restriction) has govt origin, for surveilance purposes.
In any case, at least on my Pixel2, I can swich off mobile data from the login screen.

Description
A search of the Android 5.0 source codes indicates that the "setMobileDataEnabled" method is available in:
1) "MobileDataController" class and defined as "public void setMobileDataEnabled(boolean enabled)".
2) Other classes like CellularTile, NetworkController and NetworkControllerImpl.
If the "setMobileDataEnabled" method is no longer available via a call with Reflection, then please respond with an alternative method to use.
Note: The "setMobileDataEnabled" method was also not callable via Reflection in Android L API.
