iPhone 5 Chewing Through Data

iPhone 5 Chewing Through Data

Make sure you iOS is iOS 6.1.4 and the carrier setting are up to date(open about in settings and should ask if you want to update. My carrier version is 14.2 on Verizon.)
Thats all i can think of. If none of these work your going to have to turn off cellular data manually every time you want to use data on your iPhone 5.

A restore might help. Tends to fix a lot of problems in my experience.

 

Restore settings should he fine if you need it but restore as new will keep everything fresher i guess

Ok then your only option is to restore or turn off data manually. And your welcome. I like to help people with this kind of stuff.

Are you running speedtest? A friend of mine was complaining that he was using a lot of data. A single speedtest can take over 40 MB with LTE speeds so be careful when running them.

 

When I first switched to the 5, I noticed that since the pages loaded faster I was more tempted to do more in a shorter time period.

 

Speedtest was my problem when i first got my iphone 5. That uses a lot of data.

 

I had the same problem when I made the switch in September. I went from using under 3 GBs close to 5 GBs. After doing a lot of research, I found that LTE and 4G (mainly LTE) consume a lot more data on different sites as opposed to 3G data. They credited me for like two months of overages but I just ended up upping my data plan because I started to realize after reading that that's how the LTE 4G iPhone 5 was going to consume data.

I'm on AT&T by the way

 

I'm glad T-Mobile lets me chew through data. 18Gb in 8 days not even trying.

 

Also, if it's brand new and you restored from an iCloud backup over LTE, I think that uses a large chunk of data.

Or you can go to the apple store/ D&D/ Starbucks or other places and use their free wifi.

This is especially true if you consume a lot of video. Clips load a lot faster so even if you're watching a short portion of a clip, the whole thing will load. Also some sites will default to the speed of your connection and load a higher quality video.
