I noticed when you activate the data limit feature, on my nexus, it will kill those apps that turn themselves back on even after you force stop them, like some verizon bloatware does, as long as you checked them to turn off in the list.

because for some reason it doesn’t seem to differentiate between wifi data usage and cellular data usage.

I just use a Mobile data widget…there probably is an app that will turn it on/off automatically though.

I have recently noticed this turning on by itself or at least inadvertently. It seems to be that whenever I have my Droid RAZR Smart Actions toggle Background Data off (due to low battery) it somehow also re-enables the data limit. I do not need a data limit. Anyone else seeing this?

I use Power Toggles too…and I really like it. The persistent notification doesn’t bug me too much, I have a few of those so as long as its not running across the length of the bar, I’m good.

I wish there was a feature to turn off data automatically on a daily basis as opposed to a monthly basis.

I use Power Toggles (Free). Holo Style. The only problem is it shows a notification icon when pinned to top (Most of the toggle apps show icon, Google API doesn’t support it yet). Google should make Toggles a part of Android like Samsung did with TouchWiz.

I was just going to comment on this…pretty sure its the alternate AOKP toggles. My wife has almost those exact same settings on her GNex.

Does it know the difference between mobile data and wifi?

I never looked at it until now. Seems pretty useful if you’re worried about going over. And much nicer than the options the carrier’s provide. Not sure how much I trust the calculations made by Big Red and Old Blue.

I use it but, just so that I can respond to Droid-Lifes data usage polls without having to Us MyVerizon.
