I have noticed tasker does not switch data off anymore, I use a lot of data and there are no unlimited data plans in the UK, I was wondering if anyone knows of a fix for this as it saves me so much data.
I'm on 5.0.
Thanks.

Not until it is updated. Seems Google is making it harder for outside apps to do anything that changes system settings. Smart on Google's part.

After having lost a Nook Color on an airplane trip, I am looking to protect my other Android devices. Some apps have remote backups, and monthly fees, and stuff. Some apps assume GPS or 3G which isn't available on some devices, e.g., that Nook Color. Some apps seem to add all kinds of antivirus scanning crap that just slows things down for little value. I just want to be able to have it lock itself down or wipe itself, if it ever connects to the internet and finds a hot flag.
lookout is a pretty good app with lots of features for the free version
and theres also an app called remote wipe that might be good for you too.
sorry to hear about the nook.
yeah I tried using remote wipe.. i think is just FINE for me.
but try looking for other app for better option.
bump... interested in this as well. Has anyone had any good (or bad) experiences with an app that does this?
I got seekdroid as amazons free app of the day and looked at its features and tested it out. It seeks pretty damn good. Even if it's not the app if the day it's only 99ยข and it seems with it!

I am using Lookout, well so far so good
it's free, but a paid version is able to remote your droid.
Check out Android Lost - lots of useful features and it's free.
Theft Aware, Lock + wipe data + Many more SMS command like call back from ur lost device, data backup n also if u have rooted phone, it can install in system , so protection will not delete even after format/factory reset
Looking for app recommendations for monitoring my family's data usage. My family is on the Verizon Share Everything plan and I would like to see how much total data the family is using rather than having to go to log in to My Verizon.
I've looked into Onavo Count and My Data Manager, but both of those seem to only monitor the data for the phone that the app is installed on. The My Verizon widget/app pulls the total data usage from the My Verizon account, but the widget/app is pretty lackluster.
Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks.

I just use the my Verizon mobile app and I haven't had any problems. The widget is a joke. I don't know of any other app that can give you the shared usage. Like you said most just list the single phone

You can try Family Data Usage app on Play Store. In this app you can see details of data used by you and your family members. This app helps you to monitor data used by multiple devices. It also has beautiful interface, widgets and notification. Here you can set data limit, data used by other apps and many more features. It is worth trying app.
Hello, I use Google Current as my digital magazine and newspaper but I don't know why and when this handy app starts to drain my data (WiFi). In the past, I knew that this app use lots of data compared to other apps but recently its really starts to "conquer" my data plan. In fact, yesterday, when I check the data usage of my apps in 3G watch, I saw that Google Current uses about 1.05GB (84% of total data consumption of the phone) of data per day with extremely light use (I never opened it except one but I killed the app just right after). And when I check the data consumption of the phone of last 30days, it was even stunning: 91% of total usage is occupied by only Google Chrome it selves. Can anyone tell me why this app is so hungry? The only reason I could explain this is because I had lots of news feed subscription, when I opened the app, it may download EVERYTHING including picture and stuff even that I didn't pin them. Am I correct? Is this a bug? Do I really turn of the auto sync? Thanks.

Hi all.
So my mobile provider offers mobile data and what they call "socializer" data too. My current plan is 1.25gb of mobile and 1gb of socializer data. I know that you can set data caps on data so you don't exceed you monthly usage but I had an idea of an app that you can set data limits in and once that limit is reach only selected apps will use mobile data.
I know that IFTT is a very powerful app but didn't see anyway of cooking up such a recipe. Is there a way to do this with IFTT or is there any other app available that already does this? If so I haven't managed to find it. If I knew anything about app development I would be creating an app to do this myself but I know nothing of android development or app development.
Any one keen to have a go at creating an app like this or maybe tell me how I might go about developing this idea into a functional app??
Cheers all

On lasted stock non rooted OS and I have DirecTV Now app installed and recently I've noticed that every time I use the app my Android OS data usage is high so if I stream 500 megabytes of data on the DirecTV Now app then my Android OS data usage will be about the same. Issue is I have a limited data plan and it's eating through my data and I have one of those plans from T-Mobile with the binge on feature that doesn't supposed to count against your data if you're streaming from a certain app like YouTube Netflix Spotify and also DirecTV Now but it's using my data but only with the DirecTV Now app not with YouTube Netflix or Spotify just to name a few if anybody know why your help would be appreciated.

I would just disable the app in the settings when you're not using it, or block it from using mobile data, it's an annoying but simple fix.

I'm paying for the service and I want to use it but I guess after the last 2 updates the data is not zero rated anymore or at least on my LG G5 but is not using data on my old LG G3.Im using that for the time being until I figure what's going on.

Or we can just hibernate that app using any hibernation manager app.
