Reasons why your Data get Exhausted Faster than Expected and How To Control it

 

 

 

 

A lot of times we wonder what is eating up our data most

especially smartphone users that subscribe for large amount of

data thinking that it would definitely last them for the whole

month. So bad, things won’t work that way since they don’t

control their mobile data usage.

For people using BlackBerry you are safe from this data leakage

issue. Well, the internet blessings didn’t spread to Android OS

devices and other smart phones like Lumia and so on.

One of the things that consumes data the most is background

services. (when we mean background services we mean applications that are running on its own or applications that starts up on its own without the user knowing) Which you can actually turn off if you know how. But if

you don’t know you'll learn it right now.

What you didn’t know is that you can actually use less data on

android OS devices if you control your data usage. Doing it is

easy, let us take for instance if you have 1gig of MTN data. This

can last you for a month if you don’t stream online or download

large size (in terms of data) applications or run unnecessary

updates without checking the newly added features if you really

need to carry on with the new version or use what you already

have.

Here is how to manage your data usage on an Android device:

• Go to settings

• From the list of all the settings press Data Usage

• Press the option button and check the box that has the text

“Restrict background data” beside it.

• With that setting turned on no application will use your data

unless you permit it.

• Also you can set limit so when you surf the net to some point

that consume much data the device will prompt you to either

continue as you have exceed the limit or quit.

• To do that simply check the data limit box from the same Data

Usage setting.
