How do I set my device so that it only downloads software updates via Wi-Fi?

If you are on a limited data plan with your network operator you may wish to prevent software updates from consuming large quantities of your data allowance. To make sure software update downloads only take place through a Wi-Fi connection (and thereby don't consume any of the data allowance you have from your network operator) follow these steps:

1. From the Home screen touch  Apps.

2. Touch  Settings (you may need to swipe left or right to locate it first).

3. Touch About device (depending on your version of Android you may need to touch the More tab first).

4. Touch Software update.

5. Touch the check box next to Wi-Fi only to mark it with a tick.
