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. |

GreatDamife:Lmao 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. 1 Like |

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. 11 Likes |

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. 16 Likes 2 Shares |

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. 8 Likes |

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 6 Likes 1 Share |

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. 6 Likes |
Re: Redmi Phones And Data Usage by DieuDonee(m): 3:04pm On Apr 13, 2020 |
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. |
