Shut down apps going from wifi to regular signal?

[SS_Sean]

Just bought my ATT LG G3...

I'm trying to figure out a simple way to shut down all the apps when I'm going from my home wi-fi, or other hotspots, to regular cell phone use. Obviously the point is to avoid massive data charges. I've looked through the phone and the manual, and nothing jumped out at me.

Thanks!

probably need to use something like Tasker to do what you want.

that or set a low upper limit for data in your settings.

Thanks for the suggestions. How would I set a low upper limit?

Settings > Mobile Data

Scroll down, and tap on each app you want to prevent from using mobile data.

Scroll down again (for each app), and check the box that says "Restrict background data."

Now that app will only use data if you specifically take an action to do so. It will still work normally when connected to WiFi.
