1. Smartphones may have several network-connecting applications
running in the background. The Android system supports
multi-tasking, so some applications are running in the background
after being closed. For example, if you open a microblogging
application and then open anther application without exiting
microblogging, the microblogging application is still connected to the
network and will consume data traffic when the system prompts new
messages, including new comments, forwarded microposts, or fan
adding messages.
2. Watching videos online also costs data traffic. For example, watching
a small video such as those attached in a micropost may need just a
small amount of data. However, several gigabytes (GB) of data may
be consumed monthly if you watch several small videos every day.
3. Online map is another data eater. For example, if you use the online
map application for navigation in a city where you did not download
the city’s map to your cell phone, you will be prompted to download
the map, which may need dozens of megabytes (MB) of data.
4. The online audio and video applications such as online radio or song
players also cost large amounts of data because the application
needs to connect to the network to upload and download data
constantly.
5. The smartphone may also automatically connect to the network and
cost data if the phone is infected with viruses hidden in software
unknown sources.
The following are some recommendations for reducing the data
traffic consumption of the cell phone:
Avoid unnecessary data connection in the mobile network.
Disable data connection when you are not using the mobile
network to avoid unnecessary data usage. Select Settings >
Wireless & networks > Mobile networks. On the displayed
screen, clear the Data enabled check box. Clear the Enable
always-on mobile data check box to reduce data traffic and
power consumption.
Disable automatic synchronization.
By default, the automatic synchronization is enabled. The
updates of Gmail, calendar, contacts, and some other
applications’ data on your phone are all synchronized
automatically to the Google server.
Select Settings > Accounts & sync. On the displayed screen,
select your account and clear the Auto-sync check box. When
synchronization is needed, you can select the check box again.
Disable the downloading of images by the browser.
During the web browsing process, large amounts of images are
downloaded, which consumes a lot of data traffic. Open the
Browser application, press the Menu Key and touch Settings.
On the displayed screen, clear the Load images check box. The
images on web pages are not displayed.
Monitor traffic usage.
It is recommended to install a third-party traffic monitoring
software on your cell phone to monitor the data traffic in real time
and prevent the traffic usage from exceeding the data plan.
