Windows.Networking.Connectivity namespace - Should the user be able to set the data plan limit?

Question

Hi,

I understand that introducing this component is to improve the user expecrience and reduce the "bill shock" for mobile users. When the data usage is approaching the data plan limit, client application can get the notification and notify the user. However, there are so many operators and some of them will not support this. For those operators that don't support this, these component will not be quite useful. It would be nice that if we have some APIs for the client side app to set the data limit, s.t. when the data usage approaches the data plan limit, user could get the notification and avoid the "bill shock".

Answer 1

Thank you for your input. Can you please submit feature requests via the Feedback tool so they can be properly tracked? Make sure to include full details on the scenarios which this would enable.

Thanks,

Thank you, Rob.

Just found our MSDN subscription expired. Will the basic subscription "MSDN Operating Systems" be OK for us to submit  feature requests?

Hi Rob,

We have renewed our MSDN subscription. However, I can't find the link to install the connect tool and the code for submitting the feedback as described below. Would you please give my some guide?

"you can install the Windows Feedback Tool from the Connect Site associated with your Windows Developer Preview program. If you’re a MSDN subscriber, the information on how to join the Connect program is included on the download page where you installed Windows Developer Preview. There’s a link to the Connect site and an invitation code that you can use to join using a Windows Live ID account.

To provide feedback once the Windows Feedback Tool is installed:

1. Open the Send Feedback icon on the Start screen. (Note: Make sure you don’t delete the icon – once it’s deleted, it can’t be recovered.)

2. On the left side of the window, select the relevant area for your feedback. For example, if your feedback is about changing the background color, you would select “Appearance and Customization.”

3. On the right side, choose the issue that matches your feedback as closely as possible, and then click or tap Next.

4. Enter a title that describes your issue. For example, “Windows hangs during shutdown after installing updates.”

5. In the next field, describe step-by-step what you were doing when the issue occurred. This will help us reproduce the problem.

6. In the bottom field of the screen, provide as much additional detail as possible about the issue, and then click or tap Next.

7. Review the information being reported about your system. Add any files necessary to reproduce the issue and add a screenshot if the problem is still visible on your screen. Then, click or tap Send Report.
