Mango Data Use (huge)

---

Have a Samsung Focus and after mango update (NoDo) 50Mb for month was enought to keep update my data (hotmail (updated every 15 min), google (updated every 15 min) and facebook accounts). Also, I use twitter and facebook apps to read news (separately) every day at night. Update my RSS Central channels and eventualy navigate trought marketplace and some internet wabepages. Now with Mango, my phone consumes 50 Mb in a week with the same uses above described. I'm I the only one with this situation? I would appreciate any help with this.

Thanks.

Pd. Sorry for my limited english. I do my best.

I noticed an increase as well. Mango uses about 150MB a month in background data per month for me. 99% of the time i'm on wifi, so my data usage is when the phone is asleep.

thanks for the answer. That sucks. I think i need a postpay contract.

Live Tiles, maybe?! Background agents?

Have you checked?

I'm using 12gb data plan with an app that can check how much I use daily.

No Live tiles, no background agents used. In fact, i just revert to nodo and update to mango without add anything and the phone eats a lot of data.

isn't AT&T app? cause i use my focus outside of US.

You are right about data consumption...in my country data plans are very expensive and I always get unlocked phones with prepaid data packets. With Mango, I spend 60mb in 2-3 days! In NODO, a 60mb data packet could last for almost 8-10 days with the same use/apps.

I have deactivated every automatic sync but the data consumption is still relatively big...even XBOX syncs automatically!! One note sync can't be turned off

MS must understand that their devices can be purchased in many places in the world and AFAIK only in USA there is free wi-fi like the oxygen in the air and data plans/contracts are better deals than an unlocked phone. In other countries we can't live with devices that depend so much on the internet.

I think youre right with this. One Note, Office docs in skydrive and xbox sync at the same time when live account sync. I think we need a sync config in office hub and xbox live hub. I want my mail updated every 15 mins at least, but office docs and xbox live may update 2 times at every day (thats enought for me).

Yup, I understand what u r tryin t say, but Windows Phone is oriented to EU and US, as well as HSDPA countries.

Btw u can turn Xbox sync and Zune sync off if u do not wish to use too much of ur data balance tho.

The diff of Windows Phone, the essence of Windows Phone OS, is mainly rely on cloud computing and synchronization. If u don't use Live Tile, no Twitter push notification, no Facebook intergration chat, no MSN Messenger, no SkyDrive Office document storage, no photo sharing, no Xbox Live, no Zune real-time personal experience, no push Email, no Tellme voice guide, no Bing Maps, a Windows Phone experience is not outstanding at all, the reason Windows Phone is better sometime is largely bcuz there r so many Microsoft Service behind this platform, supporting it.

It's not when u r using Metro UI, u r using Windows Phone. That's wrong.
