Help Data Glutton

[debbierobbins]

Just bought my first smartphone and love it! BUT it's eating a lot of data so I'm thinking I have something running in the background. I don't watch videos on it and mostly use it for email.

Anyone else experience this?

Welcome to the Android Forums!

On your phone go into your email config and tell it to not auto sync. You can then manually sync your email periodically. This will reduce the amount of data that your phone uses.

In additional check your various home screens and delete any widgets that are displayed that you don't regularly use. Widgets typically use data regardless of whether or not you use them.

Install PhoneUsage this will show you what application is chomping data. For starters I'd go through all the HTC apps that have been installed (and unable to be uninstalled) eg. Shares, tweet

Their default settings will eat data.
