RESTRICT DATA USAGE does not hold on non-rooted stock Redmi Note 10 Pro / Global Miui 12.5.6.
So I go to Restrict Data Usage for a particular app, and uncheck Mobile Data, and hit OK. Few days later I find the Restrict Mobile Data reset itself and shows a checkmark again. This only happens to Mobile Data, never to disabled Wifi. Happens to stock apps, Miui apps, google apps, and consumer apps, but never all at once, only few at a time reset themselves.
Why is this happening?

Recently, even with "background data" disabled, my Nexus One randomly use EDGE data while it sleeps. This become the problem since when there is ongoing data transfer, I won't be able to receive calls. I didn't notice this until my friends told me that they couldn't reach me.
Is there an app or an option in Android/Nexus One that I can completely turn off mobile data access until needed? I tried APNDroid, but after I turn it back on, mobile data access won't be available until the phone is rebooted.
You can't use data and voice calls at the same time? That's strange. What carrier are you using?
I'm not actually sure if there is an easy way to turn data on and off completely, but you might be able to turn syncing off and then go through all of your applications and make sure they don't automatically update or stay logged in like g-chat. I think disabling syncing only has an effect on the stuff listed under Accounts & sync settings in the Settings menu, (Google and Facebook on the stock ROM).
I'm on T-Mo.
When you're on GSM network, unless BOTH carrier & handset supports some special feature (don't remember the name), concurrent voice/data is impossible. To date, I've only seen one Nokia phone supports the feature.

Going through every single app to make sure that it doesn't use data is a pita and not guarantee that no data will be used.
Since N1 WCDMA reception is crappy, I have to rely on GSM quite a bit. Since day 1, I had background data & auto sync disabled (only enabled when needed). --- For some reason, "background data" seems to apply to system/google-related app, but doesn't apply to 3rd-party app.
This sucks big time since it is phone first, computer second, so it kind of annoy me that background GSM data prevents me from receiving calls.

I found a way to completely disable/enable mobile data access on N1. It's a bit clumsy, but it works.
Go go Phone, dial "*#*#4636#*#*" to get into N1 Testing app.
Tap "Phone Information"
Tap menu -> more -> "Disable data connection"
Tap menu -> more -> "Disable data on boot" (just to make sure it's not enabled after you reboot the phone)
then... "GSM disconnects" should read "State: inactive ...... fail because No Error"
Some would suggest changing APN name manually or using widgets. But according to Testing app, you will still be connected to data network. Connection attempts will be made over mobile data network, but they won't go through. This doesn't guarantee 100% no data requirement. It just prevents you from hopping on the internet.
Seems like a lot of work to turn off data I agree. I'm just lucky I'm on a carrier that uses another carrier's net so it's roaming all the time. All I have to do is disable "data roaming" and data is off.
Toggle data is what i'm using - it's a free widget button to turn 3G (mms optional) on and off just like the Power widget. I've also seen another widget with a different name, but that was a black button and Toggle data is white.
Thanks. This seems to have the same effect as disabling data via Testing app.

I recently activated data usage ( internet ) on my Xperia x8 ,
i also installed an app to monitor data usage,
within an hour ANDROID OS SERVICES took about 50mb of data, i tried to stop it but it says background data,
I had android 4.0.4 but it was very laggy, so i switched back, now im running 2.3.7 (minicm 7.2), unlocked bootloader, 729mhz, nAn kernel, cypress digitalizer.
What should i do to stop ANDROID OS SERVICES use data ( internet) ?

You know, 50MB of data within an hour is pretty much. My Droids are using ~2-5MB per hour when sitting there totally idle doing the usual thing (Gmail check, Google Talk, ClockSync (once every 12 hours)).
First thing to check for: Set Play Store and every other app you may have installed, that could transmit data, to "WiFi only" wherever possible.
Once you set as many apps as possible to only sync/transfer on WiFi check again (3G Watchdog?) how much traffic you have going on.
If you can't sort it out - disable mobile data when not needed.
use netfilter nd block the apps using internet without turning internet off
Press Thanks

I have a 1gb data plan, I have had a problem with this for the last 4 months, I only use my data plan when away from home and no access to wifi,but all other times i turn it OFF, but lately at 2400hr or 0:00hr midnight something turns on my data plan and upload/download data, no way of telling large amounts of data sometimes as big as 199mg at one time..
I have gone through 1gb of data within 1wk of limited data use,facebook,mail,whatsapp,most of the time using Wifi.
It seem i am not the only one this is happening to (check your data usage via your provider phone account),there are many cases on the internet, but no one has found the real reason,a lot has pointed to the sim provider ???
Can someone throw some light on this..
I never knew that Data plan can be automatically be turn on then off by app on a phone...
Data conection always OFF
WiFi when I can get it On
thanks you
I'd guess a rogue app, turning on data
Not sure if this will work as don't have the N7000 in front of me & not even 100% sure "data" will show in Android 6 due to app permission changes in Marshmallow, it might be under device or something.......
Go to settings>apps>gear wheel>app permissions
then look for data permission touch it to see & change which apps have premission to turn data on & off
I've had my A6+ for about 2 month now and I'm very happy with the phone. But there is one issue that happens from time to time. The phone does not do anything internet related. It doesn't matter if it's my home WiFi or my mobile data. The phone itself shows that it's connect to the wifi but nothing works. YouTube doesn't load, neither does the play store and WhatsApp messages don't get sent. What's weird is that for example YouTube and the play store don't say that I don't have a connection, as they normally would if there is no access to the internet. They just keep loading without showing an error message of some sorts. I've tried to restart the phone a couple of times, even wiping the cache of the phone itself and of the apps. I don't know what's causing it and how to solve it. The first time it just started working again after many hours, but I don't know if it's because I did something or because it was random.
I'm thankful for every idea and answer
I've gone through this before and for me it had something to do with the Data Saver option.
When I restarted while Data Saver was on, this would happen (no internet access even when connected to WiFi or mobile data) but when I restart with the Data Saver off it would function normally. You can still use the Data Saver but just don't restart with the Data Saver on

That could be it, although I can't test it anymore. The solution that worked for me and that was given by the Samsung support was to reset the network settings and then reboot. It worked again after that
Hello everyone! I have less than 1 month the redmi note 10 pro. and my problem is that being at home with wifi and connected data consumes a lot of data. I've already checked that in developer settings I don't have "data always on" active. According to the seller, it says that I have to uncheck the "wifi assistance" box.
Within wifi assistance I have unchecked "traffic mode"
Even so, it continues to consume data with wifi.
I suppose that either the wifi is unstable or with this rom it does not get the wifi well and switches to data.
My question is in what menu can I prevent it from pulling data (without deducting data) because I can't find it.

In my opinion the MIUI hidden tracking.... is responsible for data traffic.
Try to unbloat or deactivate . Google unbloat xiaomi
The issue is that in wifi/wifi assistant, I don't get the option "automatically connect to the best wifi" to be able to disable it.
I've done a factory reset and updated again and it's still consuming data.
Do you get the option "automatically connect to the best Wi-Fi"?
Thanks in advance.
