Excessive Data Usage HTC One X

[Anonymous]

Hello all

Am new to o2 and have had my HTC One X since the beginning of this month (6 days).  I have a 500mb allowance per month.  I am not a big internet user, don't use facebook etc and on my old phone - a blackberry, I used about 2mb a month.  In the past 6 days, with my HTC I have used 75mb, despite only using the internet for a very short time - really just to check the new phone out and literally for a couple of minutes at a time.  I have noticed that just opening the chrome app used 6mb and using the internet via the browser uses approximately 2mb per minute.

I have disabled all the download sync, and most of the apps I don't use, but this has made no difference.  I also switch to wifi when in a wifi zone.

Does this usage seem normal?

Many thanks

Hello yes that's right, high data usage with both, but considerably more with chrome - only used it once and was shocked by data usage!

Try downloading an app called "Onavo Extend" it will compress data and make you use less, especially useful when roaming.
