I need some tips to avoid too much data usage on Tmobile samsung galaxy s2

I usually have wifi connection ,and rarely need data
but I might need to check emails,browse website and or make/recieve calls through viber every once in a while ,where the wifi is not available ,
so does 200 Mb enough for the usage i mentioned above ?
is there any tips i can do to avoid data usage on the background ,like when the phone on stand by ?what are the apps that contiguously drain the data usage?
will deactivating sync help ?anything else ?
Thanks

you can manually turn data ON/OFF with a widget
that will prevent any unwanted transaction

Yes you will be okay as long as you turn of syncing in settings.. for example Google stance and Facebook email sync while you're on 4g
sent from my real Gs move in silence like lasagna

Yes that sounds fine for 200mb. Just don't browse like.. videos or something crazy. Just make sure you turn Data off whenever you can. Track your usage hard for the first while to make sure you don't go over.

thank you guys
will turning off syncing be enough to save the data without needing to turn off the 4g data?
because I noticed if i did turn off the 4g data ,i won't be able to receive MMS

one more question
do navigation and the google maps require alot of data usage ?

my advice would be get the 2 gb data package because with the 200 mb u get charged for overages but with the 2 gb and 5 and up u only get throttled i think???????

Also use traffic watch apps like: https://market.android.com/details?...S5yb3lzb2xiZXJnLmFuZHJvaWQuZGF0YWNvdW50ZXIiXQ..

Turning off background sync should be enough.

Never tried navigation but google maps doesn't require A LOT of data usage (at least to me), but you should be careful with 200mb of data a month...
Especially you are always in the same area then every time you use google maps you accumulate the map tiles you download in cache so that next time you are in the same area google maps doesn't try to download the same area again.
Try using some data monitoring app that tells you how much you used at any time.

I'm not going to recommend any ways of saving you data but i can recommend you an app that I've been using to save me time and effort of toggling the sync and data on and off. Use "llama" and set the settings to your desire.
You can search in the battery life thread for a very good setting for "Wifi connected" and "wifi disconnected"...I'm using it now and it's helping me a lot...getting around 30 hrs battery with moderate usage. I'm connected to a wifi most of the time.
Rooted, but running stock for now. Plan to flash some roms later when I get bored.

Juice defender you can choose to turn off data when screen is off. and or allow only periodic updates. Or you can turn of 3g/4g data any time you have a wifi signal lots of choices to fit your need to minimize data use. Since data usually means battery life you will find many power managment apps will help you.

[Q] Disable phone function

Hi there, anybody knows if there's a way to disable the phone function in the galaxy nexus (gsm), i mean like an app or a toggle or something???

Bingo.

I would go with 'Airplane Mode'

+ remove your sim.
Beamed from my Grouper.

If I'm not mistaken, I think the OP is asking how to disable the phone part, i.e., the dialer.
I'm not sure it is possible. You can try to "freeze" the dialer in TB, but I have a feeling it will cause issues elsewhere.

Let me try lol..

[Q] S3 Data Usage Menu

Weird Question:
Does the data usage menu change appearance?
Currently, mine only shows the dropdown menu for which cycle I want to view, a graph that shows way more data than I actually used(maybe it is combined data and wi-fi?) and a breakdown of usage by app. Is there anyway to get the other menu back where the set limit, allow mobile data and whatever other checkboxes are usually there?

I think it depends on the ROM you're using mine shows the checkboxes for warning and limit and then when I turn those on I can adjust the levels below and it is possible that it can show wifi and mobile data but its an option you can turn off.

I am on the default System, it changes seemingly randomly.
I attached a screenshot of the current look, as of an hour ago, it was the normal one with the check-boxes and all.

Right about that Data Usage Cycle box is where I have 3 checkboxes that say Mobile Data, Limit Mobile Data Usage and Alert me about data usage.
So Im not sure where yours are. Im on the latest KitKat update and Wicked X Rom but the boxes where there on the stock Kitkat rom

I dont think they show up unless you have mobile data turned on and by the looks of your over 4gb those appear to be wifi stats. So maybe you need to turn mobile data on and then you'll see the checkboxes.

I have data turned on. If I restart my phone, the normal menu appears (the one you see on your phone) but then after an undetermined amount of time, it goes to the screen you see in that screenshot... It is all very odd.
Also, it shows different amounts of data used per app (which would be sort of expected if the screen i get has compounded data with WiFi, but the reason it is odd is that it shows that I used more data for certain apps on data alone vs data + WiFi)

Disable auto wi-fi data switch?

My OP3 automatically switches to data when wi-fi isn't available (even when data is turned off in mobile network settings) and as I don't have much data I can't afford it, how do I disable this?

Strange My phone doesn't do that.

If your data is off, then it wont use any of your data quota,
So you worry too much,
