| <p>Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) introduces new features that help | |
| users understand and control how their device uses network data. It | |
| monitors overall data usage, and supports warning or limit thresholds | |
| which will trigger notifications or disable mobile data when usage | |
| exceeds a specific quota.</p> | |
| <p>Data usage is also tracked on a per-application basis, enabling users | |
| to visually explore historical usage in the Settings app. Users can | |
| also restrict how specific applications are allowed to use data when | |
| running in the background.</p> | |
| <p>The documentation in this section is intended for systems integrators | |
| and mobile operators, to help explain technical details they should be | |
| aware of when porting Android to specific devices. These details are | |
| summarized below, and the | |
| <a href="mailto:android-porting+subscribe@googlegroups.com">android-porting</a> | |
| mailing list is a good place for further discussion.</p> |
