Question

How to turn off data after a certain amount



Aim: To make my data turn off after it reaches a predefined amount of data to use. For example, I am using my portable hotspot to my computer with my phone. After the data used on my phone goes over 100 Mbs of used data the phones then turns the data switch off.



Problems: Since my phone is android gingerbread (2.3.6) I don't have the built in data counter that is available in the newer versions of android.



Is this possible with tasker or a play store app?



Any help would be appreciated






To anyone wanting an a step-by-step Instructions just leave a comment and I will post a link to a word document, pdf and a txt file (I would have to write them up first)


Answer

Original Video that I Modified: Tasker tutorial: Monitor mobile data usage inside Android



I have only used the task that counts data from this video, If you want a notification that counts used data for a month, the above video is a good solution.






Notes: Due to unknown reasons, I am unable to turn on USB Tethering, If you Know the answer to this Question, It would Help a Lot. And Due to this limitation I Have Used a Variable to shows that tether is on, but you will manually have to activate it depending on your circumstances.



Notes 2: Due to how it counts data, if you have already used some data on your phone it will change the Data-used variable to the used amount, thus you cant start from a perfect zero. How to combat this;



1) You can restart the phone, thus clearing the files that are read that is were the data count has come from.



OR



2) If you don't want to restart just add the MB's already used onto the data count limit. E.g. It flashes up that you have used 2 Mbs, and you want the data counter to turn off data after 100 MBs, You would have to Put the limit as 102Mbs to be correct
