M8 Worst phone ?637 data used

[ErnstMach]

I have to say, by your logic my nexus 7's power port issue which I had to send it in for makes it the "worst tablet ever, nobody should ever buy it, Asus is loser. " judging this phone on one isolated issue is a little bit silly, don't you think? If there were dozens of people on this forum complaining about ?600 data overages on their M8s, I would be more inclined to say that it's a bad phone. However, this has been the only complaint you've had and it certainly could have been a carrier issue and not the phone.

Is there something that you're holding back about that caused you to decide that the M8 is indeed the worst phone? If so, tell me, since I definitely want to know before I buy one.

Worst phone due to data usage? I have many friends with the M8 and not one complains about the issue you're having. I mentioned it to them and they had no idea what I was referring to.

I'm not, it doesn't make sense. When mobile data is off, the radios can't magically pick up a signal and use data. Doesn't add up....

Im on 1 gig but j have been told its the rubbish htc m8 phone im getting a different phone also 4 of my mates have the same issue

Doubtful. I have a 4GB data plan and the M8 barely crosses the 1GB mark only when I am traveling for a week or so at a time and do not hook up to wifi.

You probably have a rogue app eating your data.

You should consider a larger data plan. 1GB is a very small amount of data.

I have no problems with mine when I disable mobile data and turn on WiFi. I even have Tasker set up to do it for me.

I think I would have to agree, unless 3 have made an error there is no way that would happen. I'm on 3UK as well and they send me a text when I've used 80% of my data cap. For this to happen, you'd have had to miss that text and several others and then download another 4 or so GB at their overuse prices.

They even state this on their website:

Once you?ve used up your monthly allowance, you won?t be able to use the internet without buying an Add-on, so you won?t spend more on data than you want to. We?ll send you text messages when you?ve used up 80% and 100% of your data allowance, so you should never run out unexpectedly.

If people could afford a higher data plan, they would. No need to state the obvious.

 

[skyhigh_91]

Sorry if you viewed my post as being rude. If your phone has used that much data there must have been an error in 3's system to allow it to happen - they should have protections against that. If you got no luck with customer support you could always try emailing the CEO to see what he (or his office says), that sometimes helps.

What was he charged 200 pounds for if he has an unlimited data plan?

Doesn't your carrier offer warning? My carrier allows multiple warning points, say 50 %, 90%, 100% of usage. They will send you a text or email.

Yes they do, which is why his problem doesn't make sense

How did it get to being a virus now? First it was eating your data and now it has a virus? Also, you said it happened to 2 of your mates in one post, then it jumped to 4 of them in another post....
