[Q] only let some apps access internet through carrier data

[npt1988]

I was wondering if there is any way in which I can control which apps have access to the internet. I only want to give gmail access to the internet through carrier data. Other apps should only have access through wifi.

You can try droidwall from the market. There are probably other apps like it. You have the option to select which apps can access both data and wifi.

ICS allows you to disable background data for specific apps

Requires root. Avast has a firewall with permission per app for wifi, cell, and roaming connections.
