   I have some that warn you when you're going to do a large download over   
   cellular data.   
      
   I haven't been anywhere where, when not moving, the phone switches   
   between Wi-Fi and cellular data.   
      
   I thought that on an earlier Android version you could restrict   
   background cellular data on an app by app basis, but I don't see that   
   anymore. And sometimes you want to NOT use Wi-Fi data for certain apps.
