I'm running on lollipop 5.1.1 but I do not think it is related to the version of the OS.
If I look at data usage I can switch to the current or the previous cycle but I cannot do any other changes to the start date and/or end data of the data usage cycle dates.
Is this the way it should be ?
Is it the operator who sets those dates based on your subscription (monthly renewal date) ?

I have the Galaxy S I9000
If I turn on the Wifi and its got a signal, will that take over from my Network usage on the broadband.
I only download emails to my phone (7 Accounts) but this month my Usage has been very high.
Normally each month reads 830Mb/1GB (Mb's left/Allowance) Give or take 50Mb
This month it was 131.33Mb/1Gb
I don't know where the usage has gone as I'm doing nothing different then before.
Most of my usage is 5-30 Kb with the odd 600 Kb
I checked my data usage over 4 days and its averaging about 2.8Mb a day. I can't see how I have used almost 1Gb for a month.
The only things added to the phone in the last month was Amazon Kindle/Xbox Live and PowerAMP
When I download a book from Amazon I always turn on my WiFi and have 3-4 bars.
Is my phone using my Network Data usage even though I have the WiFi on.
PS my wife has 1 email address on her phone and see never uses her data for anything other then checking her Gmail. She only had 17 simple text emails last month and here usage was also reading 133.78Mb/1Gb. I can't see how she has used up her quota for the month.
Both phone are on separate accounts and connected to the METEOR IRELAND network.
If I turn on the Wifi and its got a signal, will that take over from my Network usage on the broadband.
Not unless you turn the mobile data OFF >. suggest quick settings from the market .

Unless turned off >. Quick settings mobile data off unless needed .

I installed Quick Settings and turned off mobile data but left on MMS data.
Thanks for the help with this. It means that I can now disable mobile data quickly when I'm in a wifi hot spot.
Because everything loads quickly when my WiFi is on (A lot quicker then when its off) I assumed it was not using mobile data at all. Silly me
Just carried out a little test on the phone using Quick Settings.
I turned off WiFi and enabled mobile data, I then turned on WiFi and the Mobile Data automatically disconnected when the WiFi was enabled.
I'm not sure if it always did this or if its only since in installed quick settings.
If Mobile Data does not switch off then in quick settings you can use Mobile Data APN as the preferred setting for on /off .
I am using Auto Wifi toggle with quick settings to aid battery life .

I cant explain your problem, but I use a program called Tasker that might solve your issue.
http://tasker.dinglisch.net/
I have it set to turn on 3G when I unlock the screen and turn it off again when the screen turns off. I also turn on 3G for two minutes every 30 minutes and auto-sync my email.
With this program you can also set you WiFi to turn on based on your location and a host of other things. There is a 7 day trial in the Market.
I installed 3G watchdog about a month ago and I have been keeping an eye on my data usage.
Since the month started I have only used about 10mb. This its consistent with every other month since I got the phone.
I think the high usage last month was a network issue. Its something I'm going to have to keep an eye on as I don't want the buggers charging me for something I haven't used.
Hi,
I own a Nexus 6 with android 5.1. Can any one tell me if the Android OS/System updates that have been downloading via cellular data can be set to download via Wi-Fi only. My data plan is limited at 1GB and these updates take over hundreds of MBs. I have disabled app updates except via WiFi but the OS updates continue to download.
If anyone knows how to turn off OS/System updates on cellular data, can you please share?
Thanks.

if you are expecting an update, you can always turn on wifi for it to download, but theres no wifi only mode on the device.
That is not cool. Is it an Android issue or Nexus specific? My device just ate a gig of mobile data on the last system update. I was home and connected to wifi, and my device is set to keep wifi on during sleep. System update used over a gig of background data
It's present in all versions of Android. The closest you can get to what you want is to disable cellular data, which can be accomplished by tapping the cellular signal icon in the quick toggles, then setting cellular data to off. However, that means the device will not use ANY data when not in range of a WiFi hotspot.
This is something you might wish to bring to Google's attention. They may have a reason for the setup.
Many system upgrades will wait until Wi-Fi is available--you can see this if you open the notification. It will say something like "will wait for Wi-Fi until <date or time>." To get the update immediately you need to turn on Wi-Fi.
The setting of "data usage" of my phone appears zeroed for me. Although already widely used the mobile network consumption appears as zero.
I entered the settings and define where the cycle will not let me reset the dates are there.
It happens to you?
Anyone know how to fix this?

Hey, I was wondering how to change data usage cycle in android nougat 7.0 in my samsung note 5 device as it set in 1st and gray color also how to change the data warnning because I tried and it is not working. It was there in marshmallow 6.0.
Thanks
On my Galaxy S7 using Nougat it's Settings > Connections > Data Usage > Set data usage limit; once there, it has to be turned on and then configured to your liking.
Since installing the March update, all mobile data traffic caused by tethering is not counting anymore in data usage.
The problem is independent of the data usage app. Have also configured a very low data usage warning in the settings menu for testing, so that the Xiaomi phone displays data use per app. Tethering shows only a few megabytes, and counts only up some bytes when tethering is anabled or disabled.
Has anyone any advice?
