He is right. If you are running wp8.1 dev preview it probably defaulted back to this setting when you did the last update of the dev preview.

Actually it is related to Microsoft recommended setings.... If you remember... When you started the phone for the first time.. It asked recommended or custom.... You must have selected recommended...

Open the Store, open Settings at the bottom, change the "Only get updates over Wifi" toggle to off.

And to all the folks over there.... He is talking about the download cap of 20 MB. Which was removed months before in most of the regions.

But before yesterday I was able to download apps under 100 mb on cellular data... I did my third update on Friday morning....

Its off...

Its off...

Oh. Then try posting your question repeatedly in unrelated threads. That's bound to work.

I know dude......i was also able to do the same... But Microsoft can control this on the basis of your data sense report.....i mean to say if you have limited data for some time then Microsoft would generalize it to everyone with limited data so you don't regret your decision of wasting ur data...

 

[Akssingh]

You can actually get back that 100 MB limit again...... Ask you need to hard reseting your device and this time select custom usage...

Its fine on me. Going to send 2 pictures. 8.1DP U3, Lumia 1320 Turkey variation, en-US.

 

[Akssingh]

As I had already stated that the restrictions by Microsoft is totally based upon you and your region..... One of my frnd also owns a Lumia with u3 on 8.1 but he is not experiencing this issue....

Thank you

Mine is back to 100mb again ....i knew this will happen in some time.....I have a used and succeeded trick for this..... Set your data sense limit to unlimited ... It will take around 5-10 days to get back to original 100 MB.....

 

[Piyush Jain3]

Yes after setting limit to unlimited... Its back to 100 MB cap... Thanks bro

So...i think you have understood how Microsoft handles your devices according to your capabilities.... Afordibilty and the best part is that.. It's good for us but sometimes it feels a bit restricted just as our parents do... That's why I love windows phone ecosystem.. It's like a family and its fun to watch windows phone grow
