    I'm upgrading my handset, as I mentioned before. So the first thing I do it connect it to my WiFi ... and shortly after it starts telling me I'm low on PAYG - because it's updating itself and USING MOBILE DATA INSTEAD OF WiFi! :mad: So that's fixed, and a new PAYG with data, minutes, and text added ... sodding thing. The fingerprint unlock is good though - really quick!

      I have a LG / Android. I can disable data over mobile connection. I only allow data over WiFi. But admittedly, I don't use it much outside the house.

        So do I - but this grabbed 11MB of data before I got a chance to turn it off - which all went at the "expensive rate" since I normally use WiFi data only ... Glad I spotted it - it just downloaded 3.93GB of Android 10 ... all by WiFi, thankfully!

          AUD$40.00 per month gets me unlimited calls, text and streaming services and 30GB of data, plus with the Missus on the same account her 30GB of data is pooled so we have 60GB to share. Haven't looked at the usage but if we hit 10GB in a month even when I have to tether client laptops off the phone I would be shocked.

          I've got a Pixel 2XL that I've had for a couple of years now, it's also running Android 10. At a customers the other week and wanted to test/checkthe WiFi. Fired up WiFi Analyser and WiFi Overview 360 Pro and they both require Location to be on to work, reckon this has been required since Android 6. Do you have anything else that you use or do you have your Location stuff on? I've got nothing to hide but Google can faarrrkkkk off cause they ain't tracking me, at least not as easily as if I had Location on.

            I hated the idea of the fingerprint unlock, but I have to admit that once I started using it (Huawei phone) I found it extremely convenient.

            My plan is to live forever ... so far so good
