| 17 | # Data Usage Technical Information # |
| 18 | |
| 19 | Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) introduces new features that help |
| 20 | users understand and control how their device uses network data. It |
| 21 | monitors overall data usage, and supports warning or limit thresholds |
| 22 | which will trigger notifications or disable mobile data when usage |
| 23 | exceeds a specific quota. |
| 24 | |
| 25 | Data usage is also tracked on a per-application basis, enabling users |
| 26 | to visually explore historical usage in the Settings app. Users can |
| 27 | also restrict how specific applications are allowed to use data when |
| 28 | running in the background. |
| 29 | |
| 30 | The documentation in this section is intended for systems integrators |
| 31 | and mobile operators, to help explain technical details they should be |
| 32 | aware of when porting Android to specific devices. These details are |
| 33 | summarized below, and the |
| 34 | [android-porting](mailto:android-porting+subscribe@googlegroups.com) |
| 35 | mailing list is a good place for further discussion. |
