    Does the mobile networks cause your battery to heat up?

    Hi Does mobile networks tend to heat up somehow your battery? Or would it be mainly background apps? But when I switched off my data. Then battery temp goes down. I'm running on Vodacom.

    Excessive data usage (Secure Encrypted Login)

    Hello everyone, Can anyone explain what this “secure encrypted login” and “Peer to peer” file sharing is on my data usage? I have tried researching but have not found anything. I think it’s a bit crazy that these items take up most of my data usage, even if its only a couple of mb’s

    Looking for a good deal on a once-off chunk of data on the Vodacom network

    So we've moved, and all we can get at our new pondokkie right now is a Vodacom signal. Not very strong, but it's LTS and it's enough to work with.

    I deleted my previous post as I thought I would give afrihost the benefit of the doubt and a chance to fix the issue. But after 3 days of no data it is clear that no one cares and people need to be made aware of the lack of service. I have paid for minutes and data every month for almost a...
