How to disconnect the Internet on "Android": instruction

Access to the Internet gives us a lot of opportunities, but in some cases you need to disable it on your mobile gadget. Here we are talking about traffic restrictions on the selected tariff plan, roaming, etc. How do I turn off the Internet on Android? What do I need to do?

If you turn off the Internet on your Android device, you can not only avoid unnecessary financial expenses, but also save the lion's share of the battery charge, thereby increasing the battery life of your smartphone or tablet. But some users have problems working with this functionality.

So, from this article you will learn how to disable the mobile Internet on Android, and make it as painless as possible for the user, and for a smartphone or tablet. Consider the main methods and steps of this seemingly simple procedure.

Pop-up menu

You can turn off the Internet on Android in the simplest way - using the top panel, or, as it is also called, curtains. This method is suitable for almost all firmware on platforms of version 4.2.x. and higher. On younger versions, this method, alas, does not work.

To disconnect the Internet on Android, you must do the following:

1. Call the curtain by pulling the top of the screen down.
2. Click on the Mobile Internet icon.
3. In the list that appears, find the "SIM Cards and Mobile Networks" section.
4. In the line "Mobile Internet", move the slider to the "Off" position.

In some firmware versions, you can turn off the Internet on “Android” already at step 2. After calling the curtain, just tap on the “Mobile Internet” or “Data Transfer” icon. The icon will no longer be active, which means that access to the Network is blocked.

Traffic limitation

This method allows you to not just turn off the Internet on your Android smartphone, but do it on certain conditions. In the menu item “SIM Cards and Mobile Networks” you can set the limit of the consumed traffic, after which the access to the Network will be terminated.

To set a limit, you must do the following:

1. Open "Settings" and go to the "SIM cards and mobile networks" section.
2. Tap on the "Set traffic" item.
3. Go to the tariff plan branch.
4. In the “Mobile traffic limit” section, select volumes in megabytes.

After this procedure, after exhausting the daily traffic rate, the connection with the Network will be disconnected until the next day.

Wi-Fi

You can connect to the Internet through Wi-Fi protocols. Deactivating the module will also allow you to break the connection and protect yourself from unnecessary waste of traffic and money. There are two ways to disable Wi-Fi.

Method number 1:

• Call the curtain by swiping the screen down.
• From the icons presented, find the Wi-Fi icon.
• Click on it and agree to disconnect from the Network.

Method number 2:

• Open Settings.
• Go to the “Network Connections” section, and then “Wireless Networks”.
• Find the “Wi-Fi” item and move the slider to the “Off” position.

Separately, it is worth noting that this type of connection is especially active in consuming battery power. So periodic shutdown of the Wi-Fi module will obviously not be superfluous with a low battery charge. A specific type of connection (Wi-Fi, 3G, etc.) with priorities can be set in the settings in the "SIM cards and mobile networks" section.
