Data loss

Anonymous — Mon, 20 Feb 2017 18:25:40 GMT

Has anyone else notice that big chunks of data is being used during the night ? I lost 140,000 KB in one hit at 02.40 one night last month whilst I was asleep !

Is this on your bill ?

If yes the time the system updates the daily data usage is after midnight 1 for download and one for upload .

@Anonymous Do you have your mobile data on at night? Are your apps set to update automatically? Turn off your mobile data if you don't need it, and update your apps over WiFi.

As Adam says it will most likely be your daily data use all rolled up as one entry.
140mb is quite a sizeable chunk even for app updates.

Thanks all for info & advice, I have switched my mobile data off & will only switch it back on when I leave my house.
