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