Redmi Phones And Data Usage by GreatDamife(m): 10:48am On Apr 13, 2020
I just got a redmi note 8 and it's shocking how it saps data like water. I've restricted necessary apps but it's still on the increase. Like I'm using an average of 1gb per day if not more despite a restricted use.

Is this peculiar to me alone?

Who's experienced this and can proffer a way out? I'm tired already and I'm thinking of selling it off.

Seems you lack a sense of humor, anyways

You claimed to have disabled background apps, no?
If so then nothing else is taking your data just stop watching videos or downloading whatever you download , oh and putting your device on 3G would help.


That's it.

This is one of the cons of xiaomi phones, until you use it, you will know the reality, I started off with the redmi 7,unto note 7,to redmi note 8,note 8t,then note 8 pro before I sold it to try another brand, now am using Samsung a71,. During the periods I was using the redmi phones I do finish glo 2000 for 9gb that is meant to last for a month,within 2 weeks without downloading and Streaming YouTube, just whatsapp, Facebook and surfing nairaland, that is all. But now with my Samsung a71 I hardly finish my 9gb... Always roll it over to the other month.... Try and practice this with another device, and you will understand what am saying..
I'm regretting too early. No One ever mentioned this. This is crappy

I know someone who uses a Redmi note 8 Pro and does not complain about data consumption.

Do you guys even go through your phone settings thoroughly?
By the way, I'm impressed with the performance of the phone. Would not mind using it someday.

currently using redmi note8, I can state emphatically that, nothing like that is happening to the phone, after upgrading from porvouir 2. MTN 3gig data sometimes last me up to a month, depending on my usage...... Facebook and Instagram these days consumes data alot, unlike before. it's not a phone issue.

Almost 2 years using Redmi Note 5, no such thing as data consumption and I didn't restrict anything.

His are main data consuming apps
1. Instagram
2. WhatsApp Statuses
3. Facebook
4. Apps that have alot of ads. Get pro versions.
5. Avoid unnecessary streaming.

People fail to under a phone doesn't consume data, it's the software aka apps.

Something is probably auto updating.

I have used Note 5 pro, mi max 2.

Currently using MI Max 3.

Nothing like zapping data, I even stream videos.

If not for Coronavirus that affected premier league, I stream live football and airtel takes 300mb to 400mb to stream full match, I always off the data after first half and put it on when the second half begins.

Now I use glo and the 4g is fast here, nothing like data zapping.

Phone do not zap data.... Apps and some settings does.

Moreover checking every photo on fb and Instagram, watching every short video.. auto updates, background apps and others do zap data

I have not experienced excessive use of my data on my redmi phone that I did not eventually trace to apps or update services.

Since you say you have disabled all background data services and updater using data but it still persists, I challenge you to post your data usage screen on that xiaomi phone.

I noticed on a friend's xiaomi note 8 that the phones usually brings up ads by itself.

This probably has something to do with the data usage.

Hope you ain't a Tecno or Infinix marketer that want to bad mouth Xiaomi brand.. Just hearing about this ur staged complain for the first time, cos I have flex Xiaomi phones from 2016 till date. If U are sincere go to settings and check data usage to know the exactly apps consuming ur data

Go to the security app, then data usage. Let's see what's eating your data.

Phone doesn't zap data, your apps do.

This claim is even retarded to even imagine

If you can, avoid viewing people's status on WhatsApp or reduce it. That stuff swallows a lot of data
