restricted background data doesn't work?

KaiSch — Tue, 07 Jun 2016 10:57:43 GMT

I tried to restrict background data by going to settings->Data usage, selected my app and ticked 'restrict background data'. Unfortunately there are apps that don't respect that somehow and still use mobile data.

How can I effectively prevent them from using up my mobile data?

Which apps are causing this problem?

I'm not sure if there are even distict apps that are causing the problem. I have the feeling it's all of them. But for sure I know it's Hill Climb Race. And yesterday I only tried to configure Google Maps and this already caused some data traffic.

Shouldn't it be so as if there were no connection at all for the restricted apps?

You could reset your phone and check again
