Everybody knows high rate of data consumption is a major problem Android smartphone users are experiencing. Over 60% of Android users can’t use 10MB to browse for 30minutes or more even when they try to browse they end up exhausting their data and credit within few minutes. I too was facing such problem months back until I discovered how to restrict background data on my Tecno M3 after playing with the settings on my device.
