Data Managing Tips
Wi-Fi
®
: Use a secure Wi-Fi connection at home or other locations where
it may be available. You can use a Wi-Fi finder app to help you locate
available Wi-Fi networks. Connect to Wi-Fi before you stream music,
video, and other data heavy content.
AUTO UPDATES: Turn off auto updates on your apps or change your
settings to update using Wi-Fi only.
PHOTOS: Turn off automatic photo uploading or change your settings
to upload using Wi-Fi only.
EMAIL: Turn off push e-mail or set e-mail accounts to sync every hour
or greater. You can also set e-mail accounts to update manually and get
email only when you want it.
MOBILE WEBSITES: Access the mobile website version of your choice
since full websites require more data to view and browse them.
BACKGROUND APPS: Turn off Apps running in the background. They
constantly use data and can also slow down the processing speed of
your phone.
USAGE ALERTS: Download a Data Usage App to help you keep track
of your data usage. With Android™ version 4.0 and later you can set a
mobile data limit reminder.
