AC Question
This has been bugging me for a while and while I've looked around I've been surprised not to find anything on it. I have a Nexus 5 on a T-Mobile prepaid plan. I haven't looked at how T-Mobile advertises their plans, but in practice they bill them as 30-day cycles, NOT one-month (so I effectively lose out on 5 days per year). But the built-in Data Usage tracker only seems to let me set a cycle date assuming a 1-month cycle. This means that every time there's a 31-day month it gets misaligned by an additional day.
Sure, I can come in and manually change that cycle date when I want to track the usage, but it's really annoying to have to track whether or not it's currently off. Is there some "advanced" setting I can enable somewhere secret to get the behavior I want?
Contrary to other reports, I've found the data usage tracking in the phone to match the carrier's pretty well (provided I have the cycle properly aligned). I just wish the alignment would stick.
