Turning the data connection on or off

Turning your data connection off saves battery life and money on data charges.
You need a 4G/LTE plan to use your operator's 4G/LTE network for voice calls
and data services. Check with your operator for details.
1. With two fingers, swipe down from the status bar to open Quick Settings.
2. Tap the Mobile data tile to turn the data connection on and off.
If you don't have the data connection turned on and you're also not connected
to a Wi-Fi network, you won't receive automatic updates to your email, social
network accounts, and other synced information.

Managing your data usage

If you're on a limited data allowance, it's important to keep track of the activities and
apps that usually send and receive data, such as browsing the web, syncing online
accounts, and sending email or sharing status updates.
Here are some other examples:
ƒ Streaming web videos and music
ƒ Playing online games
ƒ Downloading apps, maps, and files
ƒ Refreshing apps to update info and feeds
ƒ Uploading and backing up your files to your online storage account
ƒ Using HTC Desire 820 as a Wi-Fi hotspot
ƒ Sharing your mobile data connection by USB tethering
To help you save on data usage, connect to a Wi-Fi network whenever possible and
set your online accounts and emails to sync less frequently.
Turning data roaming on or off
Connect to your mobile operator's partner networks and access data services when
you're out of your mobile operator's coverage area.
Using data services while roaming may be costly. Check with your mobile
operator for data roaming rates before you use data roaming.
1. With two fingers, swipe down from the status bar to open Quick Settings.
2. If Mobile data is off, tap the Mobile data tile to turn it on.
