Help need! How to download app using data connection?

In this thread:

it says to:
Check your data saver setting under
setting/battery & data manager

That is how Verizon "helps" you not exceed your allowance under the tiered data plan.

If you have data saver turned on, large downloads will be deferred until you have a WIFI connection

I do not have that setting on my phone, but perhaps you do and it is what is causing the problem.

Ok... un-check the "Data saver". Problem solved! Thanks all for the guide & advice!
