X-treme Data Soak ??

hossini · March 31, 2011, 05:47:31

Hi,

Locos Pro downloaded >700MB in just 3 hours an crashed my Data Limit.
Application was in running in background, and i was just sitting on my working desk.
Used Online Map "OSM Cyclo". Was an Locus Free user, buyed Locus Pro one Day before.
Never had such a Problem - What happened?

Tnx

Hi,
this should happen only when you download some online map into offline. There is no other possibility ...

Edit: also count that osm cyclo maps are really huge. Against other OSM maps, they're almost twice as big

I had a similar problem, beccause I didn´t notice that my wlan router was switched off and the phones wlan switched back to UMTS. So my question: Is it possible to implement a configurable limit for UMTS/HSDPA/3G, maybe with the question after reaching this limit to accept next "my limit"MB download?
-use UMTS limit = yes/no
-Limit = xxxMB (whatever the user defines)

Other possibility: "Download maps only on WiFi?"

If WiFi is not available, but you have a huge data limit...?
I this case I would propose, not to change anything and I should observe it a bit more.

Oh, I meant a checkbox with "enable/disable maps only on WiFi"

and yes, i've got 5 GB

ah, now I understand, that´s ok too.

You can also use a program like 3G Watchdog to limit data usage.

or perhaps using the "Data Saver", which was activated to load updates from Market only with WiFi. (queuing)

Hi,
Problem never came back again.
I still wonder what happened that day.
Thanks.

PS: Locus is a great Program i use it every day.
