Data Mobile Ignore

[MickeyPT]

Hi, need some help, so my internet provider has an mobile application that the data doesn't count for the plafond limit.
So what I need to know, if there's some way to disable the monitoring of the data usage for that specific app?

Thanks

Welcome to Android Central.

Did you mean your home wifi provider or your sim Carrier / Network has a maximum data limit, though tethering / full Hotspot allowance is included.

Even if you uninstall the carrier's app, it will still know how much data you use.

I think there are firewall apps that you can use to block apps from using data and/or wifi, but I don't think there is a way to use data and not have it counted if that's what you mean

Welcome to Android Central! I believe the OP wants the system not to include the data usage from that particular app in the total monthly tally, since the wireless provider says it doesn't count towards the user's monthly data limit. I don't think there's a way to do that.

Hi
Sim carrier, and the data usage is not the problem.
The problem is that the android management of mobile data usage, counts the app, and I don't want to.
Basically, ignore any data that the application uses...
I want and I need the app.

@B. Diddy
That's exactly what I want.
Out of the box it doesn't look like, at least I didn't find anything...

I made you the owner of the original guest post to make it easier for you to find.

Who's your carrier? Does their account app track your data usage? The phone's data usage tracking by the system will often be a little different from the carrier's, so it's not a bad idea to use the carrier's data usage tracking if possible on the phone.

Oh I get what you're laying down now lol. I personally prefer everything being displayed so that I know what is happening on my phone. With unlimited data that's the only reason I look at it.

@B. Diddy
Thanks.

Regarding to the questions, my carrier does track the usage, the app in question it's for TV viewing, app from the carrier, and I don't need an exact value...
I have a limit of 20GB of mobile data for month, I defined in the phone settings to warn me when reaches 18GB and blocks after 19GB.
Lately I spent more time outside than inside, so I use the app to have something to keep me entertained, so the phone after some hours of usage blocks the mobile data, saying that I've already reached the limit...
It makes sense, but in fact that data doesn't count for anything, so I just want to the system ignore this specific app.

Thanks

I'm guessing you have T-Mobile, which is known for providing some services that don't count toward your monthly data limit. Since I don't think there's any way to modify how the phone tracks data usage, I would still recommend using your carrier's app if you want to see how much data it's counting for you. The T-Mobile app can do that.
