How can i download apps by using data plan? As sometimes doesn't have wifi access, but need to download apps. But it always prompt me " Download size requires WI-Fi" , even just a small app. :(

I had a look, the option is about market updates only when the phone is on WiFi.

But the option is only with the new Market app on my Android 2.3.4 phone.
Not with the old Market app on my 2.3.3 phone.

it says to:
Check your data saver setting under
setting/battery & data manager

That is how Verizon "helps" you not exceed your allowance under the tiered data plan.

If you have data saver turned on, large downloads will be deferred until you have a WIFI connection

I do not have that setting on my phone, but perhaps you do and it is what is causing the problem.
