How do I automate disabling mobile data on lollipop? I have recently changed my Moto G LTE (XT1039) from android 4.x to 5.1.

After the update I have found that Llama - Location Profiles's Toggle mobile data - mobile data off Action fails to disable my mobile data.

After checking out a few alternatives I have found that several automation apps have reviews mentioning a similar situation. For example Data ON-OFF has this review:


  Not working 5.1 motto 4g Used to work on 4.4.4 uninstalled until it gets an update.


How do I automate the toggling of mobile data on/off in Android 5.1?

Or, has there been a change to the android API to remove this functionality?
There appears to be an app/widget on XDA that should do what you are asking.

The app is paid and requires root. Hope this helps. =)
