Data usage
You can track the amount of data your phone uploads and
downloads.
Find it: Apps > Settings > Data usage
Your phone shows a data usage graph. Below the graph, apps
appear in order of highest to lowest data usage. Apps that use a
lot of data might also use a lot of battery power.
Some apps transfer data in the background when you're not
viewing them. To stop an app from doing this, tap it and then
tick Restrict background data.
To turn off background data use for all apps, just tap Menu
> Restrict background data.
