I have had the galaxy s6 active for a year. Used native email app without incident for 4 accounts until September. Never, ever exceeded 6 GB data in a month, even playing Ingress all the time.
Had to send phone to samsung for screen repair. Get it back last month and it's been updated to 6.01. Put all my accounts back in. Notice my email is not syncing when off WiFi. Check settings and found battery saving setting now shuts down all background. I find the battery options and manually change to allow email syncing. A few days after email starts working, I get data usage warning. Long story short, my email ate 10GB of data in a week! Even being on WiFi 16 hours day.
I removed all email accounts and only added back my two work accounts that I have to have. Now using outlook app for hotmail.
For two weeks my data was throtttled to 2g by T-Mobile. During that time my email data usage was normal. I thought removing and readding my work accounts fixed whatever was causing data suck.
Today my new billing cycle started and I got 4g back. Less than 12 hours later I get 2GB data warning!! Wtf??
Wth is causing this and how to fix?? I can't find any info on this anywhere.
I have to be able to get my work email away from WiFi, so I can't turn off syncing or restrict background data. But I also shouldn't have to when things worked fine previously.
Please help!
