Also, in Mobile Data settings, your "background data restricted" should be on at all times to prevent slow, steady drain of data.

I thought I knew everything about my tracfone (it is my 4th and I love it!) but I never tried restricting the backround data before.  I've done that for the last few days and it seems to function okay with that restriction.

Have you discovered anything else, beside picture and sound transmission, that needs the data unrestricted?

My LG Premiere LTE shows a message "Backround data restricted- touch screen to remove restriction" on my Lock Screen. Seems as long as you restrict the data, that message will stay on the Lock Screen. (?)

Glad I read your post the other day - Thanks!

@namaste000,

1. in your device's settings, look for Sound and Notification. 
2. Scroll down for Notifications on Lock Screen. 
3. Turn it off.

Not sure I follow you here. 

In your device's settings under Data Usage you can turn on background data restriction app by app, and I used to do this years ago.

But now it's an option you can select for all apps with a single tap. Which I do.

I never turn that off. It doesn't affect function. 

In your Data Usage setting look for 'more' or 'menu',   (whatever LG calls it in that model).

Background data restriction is selected there to restrict for ALL apps.

Just turn restriction on and leave it on.

Turning on your mobile data to transmit pix or audio and then turning mobile data off again is separate from restricting background data, which just stays on always.

Hedge,

Thanks for clarifying everything!

At your suggestion, I have turned off all lock screen notifications, but the only way to get rid of ' background data restricted' notification is to unrestrict. May just be this LG model.  I will leave background data restricted and live with the notification

Thanks again!

@namaste000, yes, must be your phone if you can't stop notifications from showing on your lock screen. That would drive me nuts cuz its too easy to accidentally 'tap' when it's on the lock screen.

However, the Background restricted notification is perpetually displayed on my notification panel, along with notification of power saving mode on, and NoLED (an app I use). I WANT them displayed here, but not on the lock screen.
