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

Try Cerberus.. Has a lot of features... U can also put on data or wireless and gps by sending SMS.. It doesn't cost too much

Try aeGis, you can remote control your smartphone via sms !
My vote is for Cerberus.

I'm using Cerberus too.
It just works !
Use avast, and you will get also antivirus
Avast is for me as well the best. Antivirus and anti theft in one.remote control works.if installed with root, it will survive factory reset and wipe data enabled...

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.

Hey..
You can use this app to monitor your data usage per app wise.(there is a free version available too)
Also you can use a firewall app to restrict the mobile data or wifi usage for any app you want.
Cheers.
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.
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.
