Hi! I usually only use mobile data to check bus times and maps etc while out, so usually have more than enough data per month.
But sometimes I come home and forget that data is still on while wifi is switched off, and watch a few Netflix episodes only to discover I have used a huge amount of data unnecessarily. I know I could just keep wifi on all the time, but it actually seems to me that the phone sometimes chooses data over wifi even when wifi is on and available.
Anyway, if anybody knows a way to avoid this with Tasker, I would greatly appreciate it. One way would be to always switch data off after it has been on for, for example, 10 minutes, meaning that a potential Netflix episode would stop and I would see it and switch to wifi. An even better solution would be if data always switched off after having been actively in use for 10 minutes, so incoming emails and other low-amount-of-data material would still be coming in throughout the day. The very best solution would be to set a maximum amount of data that can be used within a set time frame any time.
I have not been able to find any apps that do any of these things, but please let me know if you do. But Tasker seems like an app that could do it. If you know how to do any of the things above in tasker, I would be grateful. Please say how to do it in terms of which buttons to press instead of a code.
Best regards.
