Video Hub Using Data In The Background

[Anonymous]

I just got a text to notify me that I had already exceeded my monthly download amount. 

I checked out my phone and the bandwidth had been used by the software 'Video Hub' in the background. 

The phone came installed with this software and I have never used it. 

I am guessing I still have to pay though?

Right.

I was just thinking maybe the phone was not reading the data usage correctly and O2 could give more detailed info on what time , when and duration it was used etc.

I think the system just dumps all the data usage for a day together and bills it all at midnight.....?

That's a shame. Could be a useful tool from 02 to gauge what's being used.

I know most os now have some forms of counters like in iOS 7 for Apple but it would be nice to have another avenue of clarification.

😞

Admittedly, sometimes things can go wrong, but the data counters are 99.9% accurate in all honesty.

Agreed.

On the data usage graph it says that video hub has used 259mb of background data and 0 of foreground data.  I have now switched off background data.

I just notice same on my s3... above 300MB in background in last 2 weeks, I never used this app, never watched any video etc. Never happened before, so it must be last update. I have blocked this app.
