Yes indeed. @P900Lover if you are not on a contract(I know you recently bought a HTC Sensation from Amazon)then I recommend a 3UK pay as you go sim. For £15 per month you get 300 mins,3000 texts & all you eat data Very nice tariff & it I were not still in contract I would use that tariff.

I know right that is far too much data in 4 days.

I listened to the radio for a bit one day but not anywhere near that numbers they were giving me.

Apart from that i think it might be the weather app too.

Im going to leave it another few days and have downloaded 3G Watchdog at the recommendation of Miss UK so will see how it goes.

As for my tariff i am on a good o2 contract as i get 30% off from friends a family so the 3 tariff isn't really an option for you. I asked o2 and the last 2 month i had used between 2-300mb on the BB. Maybe i will have to turn the weather off and/or upgrade to 1GB.


BTW what Windows phone are you looking to get?

Am unsure just after so many let downs trying all Xperia models i now get the feeling of trying something new again. Either WM or another Android phone from another brand. Am a bit saddened by it really but SE have lost their magic.

Thats it, what hihihans said, it has limited background services, its Multitasking is more like an iPhone rather than Android. Android uses a combination of both the old Windows Mobile6.5 multitasking and iPhone, Androids can do realtime multitasking but if it runs out of RAM it pauses the app and caches it, thats why if you go to Android's Application Manager open Running Services it shows you apps that are doing realtime multitasking, if you click 'Show Cached apps' it shows you ones that are either paused or simply cached for faster opening time next time you open them.

Your weather widget cant be the issue, i have the default Android News&Weather widget and my data consumption is nowhere near that high, i have Push Gmail and push Hotmail always on, GPS Data always on with Network assistance, ive got Twitter and Facebook pushing notifications as well as updating their news feeds/timeline every 4hours and i still dont hit 125mb a day, i hit around 45mb a day.

Id suggest you check all your apps dont update too often, e.g set your weather app to update every 4-6hours, social networking clients as well, also go to Settings -Accounts&Sync and see if you have any unecessary apps syncing to often. 500mb in 4days is heavy even for Android.

Not really on about multi tasking I am on about how much runs in the background compared to Android. You know like certain standard services & apps that run in the background as default?? Like Android does. I wondered if it was more or less.

You mean like apps that constant look for an update? If apps are paused they won't update either.

Well yeah kind of. Like in Android you have all these running services in the background. Alot connect to the internet and some are vital for it to run properly.
