Is there a fool-proof way to ensure data is not turned on?

My data charges depend on the usage and it's very expensive. Sometimes, somehow my data is accidentally turned on. Is there a fool-proof way to ensure that that never happens? Is there an app that ask me to confirm if I am sure that I want to turn on data?

Go on settings
Press "more"
Go on "mobile networks"
And if data enabled is unmarked that means its off

I don't want to always go through those steps to see if it's off.
And, it doesn't really ensures that it never gets turned on.
Is there another way?

Of course it does, why won't it?
Also if u don't want to go through all those steps u can use widgets
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I can just press data enabled and it toggles on/off
Also next time post in the q&a section

But if you really really want to make sure pop out your sim and that should work trololol but seriously those widgets work! I used them before :thumbup:

Airplane mode... haha that will be sure you wont have data charges!!! lol

I'm guessing you could make a null APN and simply select it, that way your device shouldn't be able to use data until you choose the right APN.

^^ This will definately work.

Quick settings by dragging the top nav bar down.
And just press the mobile data icon if it is on to turn it off.

What about using Tasker or Llama to set up an event to disable mobile data if it is on?

Try to disable all sync and disable location services. See if the battery improves and then activate sync one by one to see the culprit.

But I don't turn any sync or location on ?
any idea ?

Check in Google maps, turn off location history and location reporting. Turn off network location in location settings of it is on. If that doesn't help disable Google now. I had this exact issue and that fixed it.

It's common if you have WiFi and network location checked in your location settings. This forces the phone to randomly use these services, even if you turned them off.

Turn them all off. Reboot the phone and see how it looks in a few hours. It won't show instantly, takes time.
Go into Google Play services and clear data and reboot.

can't uninstall this sony
I try this apk in my z3 dual but my problem is that i can't delet this app or unistall it.
Also it is in chinease

Since installing it my battery life is terrible. I've hardly used my phone today and I'm down to 19% battery which is ridiculous. Normally I'd still have over 50% by this time of day after charging the night before. I only normally charge it every other day.

If you ask for uninstall it, then you go to Settings/ Security / Device Administrator - and uncheck this Sony Lock App.
After that you will have option to uninstall from App drawer.

Why not just hit the power button on the side of the phone haha? Im sure some people may use this, to me its rather pointless.

How do I get always screen on while on charger?

When I put my phone on charger, for example my Qi-carholder, I would like to not have the screen going to standby, turnoff or anything. Just stay on so I can see what's playing etc.
Tried the setting in developer options but somehow it doesn't work. Maybe because of the always screen on function?

There is the Always On Display function, but I imagine it's not good for you...

No, if I want to change song or make a call in the car I don't want to unlock my phone every time. It has to stay unlocked and keep showing home screen or the app I'm using at that moment.

You might use this app:
Lucid - DayDream Screensaver
which has many modules so one can configure what is shown on the screen:

I gave it a try several times, also with my previous phone but it still is satisfying.

I found out the screen always stays on (not the samsung function but really on on) in developer options works for direct USB chargers but not for a wireless charger, like I have in my car. And then....

Why not just try deleting apps you don't use, clearing cache, and or moving pics and videos to SD card?

This has been covered many times for anyone who searches. For those that don't: Tap Internal Storage. Then on the next screen you'll see the word MORE in the upper right corner of your screen. Tapping that will present you with a menu item that says Migrate Data. Tap that and follow any instructions.

Did you go into your Internal Storage? Did it bring you to a different screen? I am referring to your screen shots above. Get to that screen and then follow my instructions. I'm also assuming that you followed the instructions in the video and you now have your extSD set up as adoptable storage.
