Disable data when a specified limit has been reached?


Recommended Posts

My dad has 500 MB inclusive data per month with his calling plan.

This month he used 650 MB and therefore had an additional charge.

Is it possible for his phone to automatically disable data when a specified limit has been reached?

I believe Apndroid can be used but it is not free.

ICS has that feature built in. Go to Settings > Data usage.

I know ICS has the capability built in, if you're able to update it or use a custom ICS ROM

as far as apps go i don't know of any good ones

He has an Orange Morte Carlo (ZTE Skate) and it's running Android 2.3.5.

CyanogenMod 9 is being worked on for that phone it seems

the link to download it is in the video description

though bluetooth and a couple things with the camera don't work yet

I'm trying this ColdFusionX ROM. Android 4.0.4 (Y)</video>

3G Watchdog is good but not perfect, there is a free version. Just show you how much you did consume but dont cut the connection. You dont need to be rooted, tho. One of the things you could do is (on android 2.3.x) is disable the data connection by doing Wireless and network/Mobile networks/Use Packet Data ;)

If that bother you a lil, try this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.data.enabler

free

I use 3G Watchdog, which works on any Android ROM/version. May need root, I am not sure.

3G watchdog is what I used to use however, now that I am running CM9 i just use the built in ICS features.

so far as i know this is not possible without root as a normal app would not be allowed permissions to turn off the features of your phone on its own.

    • IBM reveals sub-1nm chip technology, production expected in another 5 years by Pradeep Viswanathan TSMC is now leading the chip manufacturing industry with its 2nm-class process node called N2. Samsung Foundry also has a 2nm-class process node called SF2. TSMC says N2 entered volume production in Q4 2025. Samsung says SF2 started mass production in 2025. Today, IBM announced the world’s first sub-1-nanometer chip technology, marking another major semiconductor research milestone. The new technology is based on a 0.7nm, or 7-angstrom, node and uses a new transistor architecture called “nanostack.” The new design vertically stacks and staggers nanosheet-based transistors so that more components can fit into the same chip area while also improving performance and power efficiency. IBM claims that this new sub-1nm chip can pack nearly 100 billion transistors onto a chip the size of a fingernail. This offers almost twice the density, up to 50 percent higher performance, or 70 percent better energy efficiency when compared to IBM's 2nm node design announced back in 2021. Also, IBM mentioned that this new architecture can deliver 40 percent SRAM scaling. It is important to consider that this announcement from IBM is a research milestone rather than a near-term process node launch. Back in 2021, IBM unveiled the world’s first 2nm chip design, claiming 50 billion transistors on a fingernail-sized chip and major performance and efficiency gains. Five years later, IBM’s 2nm technology has still not entered mainstream commercial production. That is because IBM is no longer a major commercial chip manufacturer. It sold its chip manufacturing business to GlobalFoundries years ago and has since then focused only on semiconductor research, IP development, and partnerships. To productize its 2-nm chip technology, IBM partnered with Japan’s Rapidus, but it has not resulted in anything shipping at scale. IBM says that its new sub-1nm technology can reach production as early as within the next five years. If that happens, it will likely depend on manufacturing partners, advanced EUV tooling, and years of yield improvements.
    • It's funny when thieves accuse other thieves of stealing. Ai companies just blatantly siphoned all the knowledge of the internet without consent and are now selling it with their service... so excuse me if I find this a bit ironic.
