How to disable wifi only download on android






















Discussion in 'Android Devices' started by Darkflame1, Jul 22, If you're worried about busting through your monthly cellular data limit with your Android phone, relax. I'll show you how to use Android's data limit a tad below the cap of your wireless data plan. If you see an app on the Data Usage screen that's hogging more than its fair share of cellular data—particularly in the background—there's an easy way to put the on other available cell networks.

Doing so will help keep your handset connected, but it could also rack up horrific data charges in the process, given that you'd be consuming another network's mobile data without a data plan.

Your Android handset is smart enough to know when it's gobbling up too much cellular data, but it might not know that it's using too much data from another device—specifically, a hotspot-enabled phone or tablet—until you tell it so. Once you designate a hotspot's Wi-Fi signal as a 'metered' connection, your Android device will obey the rules of the cellular-data road whenever it's connected to that particular connection—meaning, for example, Android won't exceed any mobile-data limits you've set, or allow your apps to use background data if you've restricted it.

You should see a list of your saved Wi-Fi networks. If one of them is your hotspot, flip on the appropriate switch to flag it as a 'metered' network. While it's handy that the Google Play app can automatically install updates for your apps, you don't want those updates downloading over your cellular connection.

Launch the Google Play app, tap the three-line menu button in the top-left corner of the screen, then tap Settings.

Tap the Auto-update apps setting, then select the Auto-update apps over Wi-Fi only option. The Android platform is the most widely-used mobile platform worldwide and is compatible with numerous phones, tablets and other mobile devices. While smartphones can invigorate a business, many of them require costly data plans that can quickly cause your bill to get out of hand if they are not managed.

The Data Saver option on your Android device allows you to decide when data will be used and how it can be used. You can also prevent large files and applications from downloading until your device is connected to a Wi-Fi signal.

The most common way of downloading Google Play apps without using Wi-Fi is switching to data. Your Android phone or tablet is likely set to prefer using Wi-Fi over your data plan. You can do this from the Home screen shortcut or by navigating to Settings and turning off Wi-Fi. Then, go to App download preference. In the pop-up screen, select Over any network. Instead of having you update apps manually, Google Play automatically queues app updates for you.

However, the updates can get stuck in pending mode. Commonly, this occurs when an app is updating over Wi-Fi, and you switch to mobile data. Sometimes, this will automatically pause the download but leave it pending. That will prevent you from downloading any other apps until the update is complete or canceled.

To solve this issue, manually cancel all the pending downloads. To do this, open the Play Store app and swipe from left. Then, go to My apps and games and tap the cross icon on each entry to cancel the downloads.

Now, try downloading a new app to see if the problem persists. Android devices sometimes have issues related to overflowing cache. Clearing cache and data will help keep things running smoothly.

You should perform I regularly to keep your phone or tablet in top-notch condition. Keep in mind that this action will log you out of Play Store, though. To clear cache and data on your phone, navigate to the Settings app on your device. Then, go to Apps or Application Manager depending on your device. Scroll until you get to the Google Play Store entry and tap it.

Then, tap Storage.
