significant data usage by F-Secure on my Android phone

sonofvitruvius

i was suprised to find that F-Secure has used significant data on my Samsung Note 4 phone.  i don't believe this was ever the case before.  the only thing that has changed is that about one week ago, i changed internet service providers, from Bell to Rogers, here in Toronto.

Any ideas on why I am suddenly seeing significant data usage by F-Secure, and what can i do mitigate this?

thx,

Hi

My ideas:
- did you use WI-FI earlier?
- and now more mobiledata? > significant usage
- is there in new agreement with ISP (Rogers) max mobiledataquato? > reason why you worried?
- for example max per month?
- you can limit Freedome's data usage, but you are losing Freedome's benefits

have always used wifi, that's not the problem as I have unlimited at home

my phone's data consumption is when not on wifi

not sure if Rogers limits mobile data, will look into it

i have a limited amount of phone data on my plan, always more than enough up until yesterday

how to limit Freedome's data usage?

Hi sonofvitruvius,

 

Please have a look at these articles here and here regarding network bandwidth usage in Freedome. Do you have App Security enabled in both Wi-Fi and mobile networks?

 

What is the difference in data usage you see before and now?
