Unexplained data usage?

[Ibjr]

I've used Dataman to monitor my data usage the last few months on my iPhone 5s and it has always nearly counted like AT&T's meter. However, with iOS8 it is showing i've used 1.57gb for the month and AT&T's meter is showing i've used 1.8gb. I've also been a victim of the slow wifi.

Maybe Dataman has a bug -- i'll reset my iOS usage stats next cycle and see how my phone counts the data usage.

Is anyone else running into this problem?

Dataman has been completely accurate for months. The advantage it had for me was that I didn't have to remember to reset my iOS data report every single month.

8.0? 8.0.2 has a fix for inappropriate use of cellular data when wifi is available.

I've upgraded to 8.0.2, but I guess i'll just have to accept Apple's buggy release blew my 2gb for the month. That is annoying.
