Just got an iphone 5s. Before i have had 3Gs and 4s. In the 4 years i had those phones i never went over my 2GB data plan. I just got a 5s last week and use the same apps the same amount and i went over my 2GB's in a week. Does have LTE on drain the data that fast?

how??

the only data sucker out there is google music.

you do know how to go & see what used all your data for the last 30 days right?

nothing else remotely drains my data because i'm always on wifi if i'm watching videos but in the car i'm all music all the time.

c'mon tmobile! add google music to your 'data exemption' and we'll be square.

I think so.

When I'm out of the country and keep my phone on airplane mode using wifi ONLY, my smart phone lasts a good bit longer

o rly?

all the razormaid remixes from the 1980s?

all the bootleg concert albums?

all the special edition versions of albums released in japan and other markets with additional tracks?

can i sort & organize all that music by say "factory records" or "4ad" or add genre tagging to group entire groups of albums together?

I need to see if there is a way to see what apps are eating data usage on my wife's iPhone 5. We are on an unlimited data plan so it hasn't concerned me too much, but we use Wifi equally, and her data usage is generally 3 times as much as mine on my 4s. It may have something to do with settings or a particular app. I never bothered to look because she's glued to the phone all day.

On your iphone, it will be in settings under "cellular". It will give you an app by app breakdown of data usage.

No worries

I personally believe that both iOS and Android could stand to clean up settings a bit, but the important stuff seems to be in the right place for the most part.
