RE: AT&T 'updates' data usage - how does this actually work?
I have 200mb/month plan. Yeah, I know it's very low, but I rarely use my phone as an online device. Mostly just use home computer.
Anyway, even with GPS turned off and home WiFi activated, my data usage creeps up constantly, sometimes reaching the limit. What the heck is eating up my data allotment? I am using "ONAVO" and it simply lists "Android OS and others" as main data user.
Much of the bloatware seems to be updating every week or two. Are these 'updates' eating my data allotment? If so, why am I being charged for the data when I don't even want the bloatware???? This is driving me nuts. Is there some way to completely prevent any 'updating' unless active WiFi present?
Would be grateful for any advice or guidance.
Many thanks.........
