Hi there
I have the KIW-L21 version of the Honor 5X and I am on the stock B140 firmware.
I have tried endlessly to find the setting where one can set the monthly mobile data usage limit and the related warning setting when one hits such a set limit.
It seems the setting(s) is not available on the Honor 5X.
Is this a known bug and are the Honor reps on this forum aware of this possible bug ?
If it is indeed a bug will it be fixed when the Android Marshmallow update is released ?
Thank you

Yes, it would be a reason if Honor do not fix this bug.
Is anyone else on a stock rom experiencing the same issue (i.e. not able to set a monthly mobile data usage limit) ?

The data setting is in the Phone admin app (the one with the shield) -> Data traffic -> package settings (first option) -> Data limit

Thanks, but on my phone the "PACKAGE SETTINGS" is not present.
Thus I am unable to set a data limit.
I think it may be a bug with the EMUI software which does not allow me to see the "PACKAGE SETTINGS" option.
I do hope Honor look into this possible bug.
I noticed this was missing as well. There's a setting to turn mobile data off and on but it doesn't look like the typical screen on Android, right? I just started researching this bc I had wished it was there as well and today I downloaded the Canon print app...For some reason it wanted me to toggle off cellular data and when I clicked the shortcut in the notification to go to settings it took me directly to the screen I didn't think existed where it shows the standard on/off toggle and a graph showing data usage with the option to set data limits. Can not find a direct way to get to it, but I know it exists now, which makes it even worse.

After a little more thought I think we can take advantage of this hack. Settings/data traffic management/traffic reminder settings allows you to set limits on data usage, but mine was always wrong because the start/end dates for my plan couldn't be set. It's a one-time hassle but downloading the Canon print app to get to the standard Android data usage screen allowed me to set the start date for my plan and after that we should be able to use the more advanced options of EMUIs traffic management. To be more specific about my process...Download the Canon print app, launch it. It will begin the setup process. All you have to do is accept terms for the first 2 screens and after that there's a notification to turn off cellular data, click yes to display the cellular data settings screen and you will get the standard Android data management screen that we all know and love. Setup whatever you wish. For me just being able to set the plan dates was all I needed, however you can always get back to this screen through the same process if you want to use it for other settings. Just don't actually turn off cellular data or complete the setup for the print app and it should run again any time you launch the app. If it doesn't, go to phone settings/apps and clear the memory of the Canon app to start fresh. IF you're like me and already have a Canon printer and use this app, you will have to setup you're printer again if you clear memory but you'll just need to do this once to set the plan dates then use EMUIs traffic management so that you can actually use the Canon app for your printer, but if you don't have a Canon printer you can use the app to get to this screen whenever you wish. I hope this helps someone. I know I'm thrilled just to be able to set the plan dates bc without that option all the traffic management stuff on the phone is always wrong and completely useless. Good luck!
Why not try an app from playstore !

Hi,
I like the default data toggle widget and I use it a lot. But there is a problem - when I enable the network data, there appear a big message - "Allow data traffic? .....".
It annoys me, as I see it at least 5 times per day. Is there any way to disable it ? I am even ready to root the device for that
P.S. Yep, I know that there are other alternatives on the market but this is the last way I would count on.
Thank you in advance.

If I'm correct, the message isn't from the widget, but from the native android. It's there to warn user that enabling will cost you money.
I don't think you can disable that unless (not sure yet) you touch something in the system (of course, rooted for that).
well I wish we could! It's driving me insane, having to click the damn thing everytime. I KNOW it's going to cost me money to use teh data connection, I have an internet plan thank you very much.
That and the "Oh noez you switched data off!" notification on statusbar are annoying the hell out of me.
So, I rooted the device. Can anyone give me a hint how to remove this message ?

I am not sure about this, I am just asking. May be someone knows.
Maybe just assuming that with root access one can alter a variety of things in the OS. But yes that message is hella annoying and really should be shown only the first time.
I don't see other phones do this and my old phone either so there must be a way...

If you are just looking at removing at msg saying the data is disabled, just pull the notification bar and click on the "Clear" button.

Try Widgetsoid. You can create your own widget that one give that dialog. And loads of other handy ones, like batt/cpu info, flashlight, screen-on lock etc.
Well, I realized that is more interesting to write my own data toggle widget. Mobile data and WiFi already works, with no warnings

Most annoying for me is the GPS warning one Never had it before on my Desire.
Even when using a Sony Smarttag to automate the turning on of the GPS you still get the warning dialogue. Annoying as hell.
Those warnings annoy me too! I wish I could get rid of them... And they do pose a problem if I want to automate tasks, what were Sony thinking of???
They should add an option "Don't remember again" when that message appears.
It's ok to advice you the first time you turn on Data, but is necesary to say the same thing five times a day?
If you add to your phone the notification toggles, the message will not appear if you turn on/off data from there. (With 2011 Xperia was so)
I can understand why someone would turn off data, but why turn off GPS? As long as you don't have an app open that actually uses GPS, it doesn't do anything.
I personally NEVER turn off GPS, Data, NFC, ... The only switcher I ever use is WiFi.
If your rooted you can freeze certain apps...I found you can disable the unsupported headphones notification by freezing the following app:
com.sonyericsson.unsupportedheadsetnotifier
Theres probably one on there that causes the notifications for 3G data toggle, but I've not found it so far yet.
And yes, I do agree that the notifications are a tad annoying!
I've added a small application widget to android market. It allows to switch on/off network data without any notifications. Please help me test it

Does it still ask even when youre using the NFC tags?
Cause they just updated the NFC app with adding on Data traffic and stuff. anyone tried? and i just ordered NFC tags on ebay. :S

Just tried it and you do not get a message for turning data on.
Enabling GPS still gives a message. This annoys the hell out of me because their advert for smart tags clearly shows this as a use case.
[shameless plug]
If you find you need more tags, or your want some cheap ones you can stick to things (including ones designed to be stuck to metal), just buy blank ones (about 60p each) and use my new app for turning them into Xperia SmartTags

So, anyone ?
I've added few new features to my app. It's free and add free.
Please leave some feedback.

Hey Guys,
I have a Lg G2 D802 and I have tried various stock ROMs like Cloudy G3, Optimus G3 and ofcourse the stock ROM. The issue is that my G2 seems to use mobile data even when my data is turned off. Upon further investigation, i found out that it's the Location Service when set to High Accuracy triggers the data irrespective of whether you have mobile data turned on or off.
Thing I have tried till now
1. Mobile data OFF :- Data gets consumed when i have location service set to High Accuracy
2. Mobile Data OFF and Connected to Wifi :- Data gets consumed when i have location service set to High Accuracy
3. Mobile Data OFF and used a Fake APN name :- Data gets consumed when i have location service set to High Accuracy
Due to this issue, i am not able to use offline navigation app like sygic.
A similar issue is Open in the Google Issue Tracker Page which can be found here
Is there any solution yet to get rid of the above bug?
I don't see how this restricts you from using anything. It's not like it's going to ACTIVELY use data, it sounds like it does some sort of very tiny data transfer, maybe even just agps data or such, and I'll bet it does it once a day.
It's not like GPS is "using data".

Yes it uses tiny packets of days, not like once in a day but may be every 10-15 minutes. But the main thing is that data should not get consumed once we have turned off the data.. People who are on roaming can still incur significant data charges. It indeed is a bug which is also on the Google issue tracker. Just wanted to know if anyone had any solution for it.
If it's true, then it's weird.
change location service to battery saving mode. then it wont.

I know it doesn't then but then I can't use offline navigation apps like sygic
if you install an application to track your data will you find the consumption of them?
I know there's some option when doing initial setup (like after reflashing ROM or hard reset). There's a checkbox or two, checked by default. Can't recall its name now but it's something like "Allow Google to do something (?) even when data is disabled".

Hi Fellow ATT S7E Owners,
Some of us have chosen to stay Stock on this phone. My primary reason is not tripping Knox and using Samsung Pay. I have been trying to fix most issues or workarounds:
1. AdBlocking
2. Mobile Data toggle
3. Package Disabler to turn down the bloat
But for us ATT users, there is this annoying continuous notification that pops when we turn off data for the first time, after a reboot, EVER IF, we have WiFi on ! It goes, "Mobile data is turned off."
Googled and researched ways of getting rid of this annoying message. Wondering if any of you had success with it? Getting all of us to talk about it to see if there is a solution, thank you!

There is very simple solution . Turn your data on. If you worry that you get overages turn off some background data for apps. When you on WiFi your mobile data is not in use.
For all the hype about having control over your notifications, not being able to change this one is super annoying. I'm also guessing AT&T is trying to get us to us as much data as possible so they change charge us more.

It shouldn't have to be this way, if I don't want data on, don't you agree? Why have needless signal processing or searching when I don't need something? ?

The only way to get rid of it for now which is not very fun btw, Swipe right on the notification until you see the gear on the left and tap the gear. After that tap "phone" with the green icon next to the word "phone" and then tap "force stop".
So far that's the only way to get rid of it.

No Sir it was never solved and I moved on to the S8+.
The Theme I was using was called, "Red Strokes" I believe with custom icons and a wallpaper.
Hope someone cracks this!
Galaxy s9, Android 8.0.0 here. Following worked for me, check if it works for you:
1. Go to Settings
2. Go to Developer Options
3. Look for "Keep Mobile data turned on". Uncheck that.
And hopefully, voila...
EDIT:
This method does not work anymore...
1. Settings
2. Apps
3. Select Options, then Show System Apps
4. Locate "Phone" (Maybe there will be 3)
5. Select every "Phone" App that you find and select "Force to Stop"
and the message dissapers.
(If you restart the phone you will need to do this again).
Hi all,
I’m having some issues with my Huawei Mate 10 Pro Dual Sim BLA-L29 8.0.0.120(C432): Some apps just stop refreshing and/or don’t seem to be able to get data from the internet. I end up staring at a white screen and nothing happens: not even a timeout.
Weirder even: this doesn’t happen with all apps, but mainly with some news Apps, Amazon, Ebay and the XDA app. Whereby the Ebay app only seems to have a problem with getting the description and XDA with the news items. And it doesn’t even happen all the time… although I cannot pinpoint a certain time of the day where it happens.
So what did I try myself?
a) I forced-stopped the apps and restarted them manually: this doesn’t work.
b) I restarted the phone, which seems to work at times but isn’t a real solution as it only works for a few minutes.
c) I deleted the cache and data of the apps: this doesn’t work.
d) I reinstalled the apps in question: this doesn’t work.
e) I tried using the apps on WLAN or LTE: this doesn’t change anything, the issue is still there.
f) I cursed my phone: this doesn’t work.
f) Did I try using these apps in the same network with a different phone? Yes I did, none of these issues occur on that phone, but that’s a Galaxy S7 Edge running Batman ROM (wonderful ROM btw), which is based on Android 7 and the Mate 10 Pro is running Android 8. So there is that difference for a start.
What I did notice is that, while setting up the phone for the first time, the wlan connection was really slow and I had to switch to LTE in order for my apps to install. So I’m thinking that this phone might still have some internet connection issues, but I’d like to know how to fix these issues.
So: can anyone help me with my problem?
I had this issue. following a link from facebook would just end up with a blank white screen. Emails wouldn't load. I did a factory reset and all seems to be ok for now. Its beyond annoying, it basically makes the phone unusable.
I think I might have solved this issue myself and it might be useful information for others:
In the battery-section of the settings, there is an option to control if an app can auto-start, be started from a different app and is allowed to keep running in the background. Either you allow the phone to control this automatically, or you can do it manually: the latter possibility is the one I turned on as I wanted to have the control over the apps. Apparently, this was a bad choice as it stopped the apps from getting the information from the internet?
After I switched it back to completely automatic, all apps were working normally again. This is something that Huawei should address as I don't believe this should happen .

I thought this was an issue with my previous Lineage OS version and googlin the issue apparently it's common for android oreo so as soon as I realized there was an unofficial build for android pie here I flashed it. Everything works fine (except for the gallery that I replaced with a f-droid alternative) but I'm greeted by the same issue every X hours: a message from my provider telling me I'm out of credit. I have no mobile plan on my sim and I don't even want one but whenever I add credit on it I lose everything in about 2-3 hours due to these ping-like leaks. When I go in data usage it clearly says "95.21 kB used" even if the bottom bar says "0B - 2,00GB". Mobile data is off of course and I also went out of my way going in developer option and disabling "Mobile data always active: Always keep mobile data active, even when Wi-Fi is active (for fast network switching)". Is this an issue related with my phone and not on the version of android I'm running? Is this an issue with Lineage OS itself? I don't know if I'm receiving sms telling me I'm out of credit because data is leaking or because my provider likes to remind me I'm out of credit and that I should add money.. I think the former makes more sense since a constant spam of these messages is really tedious and looks not intended. I would add more money but I fear to lose even more due to this issue. Anyone else with this problem?
I've been facing the same issue and been trying to resolve it with no luck. I am on Miui 8. I thought it was Miui that steals my mobile data.
