WLAN sync (Galaxy S3) reduces Vodafone LTE data rate

Post by Liebhab-Baer »

Hi everybody,

just for anyone who uses Vodafone LTE and syncs his Galaxy by WLAN:

The data used for syncing your music to your phone reduces the amount of data included in your Vodafone LTE rate.

I wodered for several months now, who I possible had used up my 10 GB volume included, as I certainly had not downloaded more than that. Today they gave me the explanation...

Greetings, Andreas

Hi Andreas,

That doesn't make sense unless your Android device has a VPN thats configured to use your LTE connection, in which case MediaMonkey could use it as well. Otherwise, in the default configuration, MMA only accesses the Wi-Fi network for synchronization.

You can easily test this out via Android Settings > Data Usage. Run a Wi-Fi sync and you'll see that MMA uses nothing.
