Samsung S3 Issues / Tips & Tricks

[Mike Smit]

I just got an S3 on 150mb p/m and I have WIFI at home. An tips on how to save my mobile data plan? (I've just download Onavo Extend)

Switch to 2G only. Helps a *** load. Do big downloads on wifi. 2G is more than enough for messaging and email.

I don't use Droidwall or any firewall anymore. Onavo Extend and 2G only keeps me well under 200MB PM with GTalk, GMail, Whatsapp running 24/7.
I have to say that since going JellyBean, data usage seems to be way low compared to previous versions. Not sure why cause I am using the same apps, but it is. Not complaining.

I personally found that Onavo was killing my battery life so I uninstalled it. As mentioned keep updates and big downloads to wifi. I personally haven't had a data issue with mine yet. If you use You Tube ever, make sure you untick the HD icon when the movie is playing, this chews data because it plays all vids in HD quality. I am not sure if there is an option to permanently set videos to only play in SD quality.
