Android Phone - Data Usage Really High

originalmiscellany

It's certainly calmed down from since I got my phone - Nov '10. My data now doesn't exceed 1 gig, I think I was just used to a no limits package, and going to a controlled one makes you realise what you do and how it adds up, e.g. polling every hour, and not using wifi where possible. I've certainly learned a salient lesson in this - to be careful.

What's in your DropBox account? on your PC?
If dropbox is always running on your phone, it could easily eat up a data allowance copying all the files in your PC's dropbox to your mobile's Memory card.

Also make sure you're connecting with Wi-Fi where ever possible. ^_^

Often such people are the prey of companies making excess usage charges for internet data. Other ways they get parted from their hard earned is by buying extended warranties, excessively priced data cables, and all manner of other snake oil.

Some are even proud of their ignorance and look down on "geeks" who take the trouble to try and understand the world around them.

Here we have mirrored in a single post my sympathy for the first group and my contempt for the second. (Even though many people fall into both groups!)
