I have expensive mobile data plan so I disabled mobile data in settings. But I still have a little amount of mobile data traffic every day that I paying for. (something near 100-1000 bytes, I inspected it in payment detalisation provided by operator)

I use home wifi for internet access so I need to disable only mobile data but not wifi.

I enabled restrict background data option but still have mobile traffic. (screen1)

In APN menu I can't delete/edit default APN supplied by mu operator. I created and selected fake APN as sugested in How can I disable mobile data completely? but still have mobile traffic.

How can I (but not disable wifi)?

I suspect OS Android or Google services make this traffic. (screen2)

My phone is LG X style K200DS Android 6.0.1.

  • I assume you're using LTE? If so, try "locking" the device to UMTS (3G) and below. Without usage of mobile data, there's no advantage for LTE anyway.

  • @Izzy Thanks for suggestion but where I can find this option?

  • Check in Settings. It's in a slightly different place with different ROMs, but there's a setting to chose the preferred network type.

    @Izzy I found this menu and set GSM (2G) only. I will check whether it helps. Thank you anyway.

Install app like Glasswire and you can monitor your outgoing traffic. Or you can use firewall apps and try to disable the data on every app.

  • I definitely need some firewall (that works without root because I don't have one). I will search for it. Sorry, can't upvote this ansver due low reputation

    @Yaros be welcome to take a look at my list of Android firewall apps. Has several candidates working without root. NetGuard is often recommended, being very flexible and covering a lot.

    I installed "NoRoot Firewall" app and configured pre-filter on global rules tab. (filter for all ports, all ips, mobile network connection only) It works, I have no mobile traffic anymore.
