Forgot to say that I just got this phone so a lot of it was setting my apps up a couple times learning how to use this device (and loosing it when rooting).

How many speed tests do you do a day to get to 3 GB of usage?
[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
Why? Ever hear of Wi-Fi
[Nexus 5 General] pwrmedia:
I'm coming up on my first full month w/ T-Mo, and currently sitting @ about 6GB.

When I was w/ VZW, I was capped @ 2GB.

Now that I'm on the unlimited plan w/ T-Mo, I plan on taking full advantage of it!!

As far as data-intensive apps, I wouldn't say I have a top 3. My usage primarily goes towards app/rom downloads, movies, and occasional Play Store app reinstalls if I FUBAR a backup or restore. :cool:
[Nexus 5 General] P.Mobile:
wow i just check on sprint website how much my average date usage is and i cant beleive it!! i never have been over 1GB! lol i have sprint so i have unlimited data.. whem im at work im on wifi and when im home im on wifi also so thats gotta be why its so low..
[Nexus 5 General] musclehead84:
I average about 50 gbs a month on Sprint with my most ever in a month being around 75 gbs. Its mostly torrents, tethering and ROM downloads.
[Nexus 5 General] markdapimp:
Woow sprint is so slow they have to measure in KB not MB or GB

Wow dudes, i use about 250 MBs of mobile data per month... :)
[Nexus 5 General] jsgraphicart:
I started my cycle on January 23 (which has only been a couple weeks). I have used about 1.8 GB so far. I have never gotten as high as some of you guys even when I was on Verizon with an unlimited plan. I dont know how anyone uses 40 GB of data. I mainly use data for streaming Google Music to and from work. I dont use data at home because of WiFi.
[Nexus 5 General] pgptheoriginal:
Since my data plan is limited to 3GB per month (which it is more than average here in Italy), I often use about 2-2.5GB.

I usually browse the internet, download (small) apps and read news with Google Currents (which uses a lot of data). I do some tethering, too. No YouTube, no music streaming.

Luckily I have a 100mbps fiber connection at home so there's no need to use my 3G plan there ;)

Yeah if my work would ever install the public wifi AP they intend to install my use would probably go down.
[Nexus 5 General] Lucke:
i average between 5-7GB...
[Nexus 5 General] simms22:
i use about 20-40gb a month. i dont do anything special. stream music, download roms, kernels, stream movies, browse the web, upload photos, generally stuff that you would normally do with a nexus. but my mobile lte connection is how i get data exclusively. i dont use wifi because my mobile data connection is much faster, and the high speed data is completely unlimited :)
[Nexus 5 General] aooga:
If I were in an area with really good LTE, I would just cancel my internet service, upgrade to full unlimited data and use that. Sadly, I don't, so I only use about 2GB a month.
[Nexus 5 General] 95Z28:
I usually use between 10-15GB. This month I'm up to 25 according to my phones counter but only 11.5 according to T-Mobile website. I'm inclined to think the 25 is more on point as I've done a few multi-gigabyte downloads this cycle, but I guess T-Mobiles calculations are the important ones. Doesn't really matter as I have unlimited high speed data.
[Nexus 5 General] Kid_droid:
UK EE 4G. Use around 1.5-2 gb data. Allowance 3gb. Rest is Wifi :)
[Nexus 5 General] PhilipTD:
1gig data, 100 gig wifi, per month
[Nexus 5 General] Ober/Hydra:
Almost none, since I use WiFi a lot. I have a 2GB limit with $10/GB if I go over but that'll likely never happen.
[Nexus 5 General] eman3316@optonline.net:
I thought I would struggle going to the 2GB plan with Aio and was expecting to have to jump onto the 7GB. To my surprise I only slightly went over 2GB's 1x in the past 6 months or so. Of course if I want to download a 700MB file I just wait for wifi now but otherwise I still do everything the same that I did when I was on my Verizon 10GB plan. Even running GPS and Waze for a 9 hour trip didn't put me over my 2GB high speed limit that month.

Haven't posted on here in a while. I have been addicted to my HDTV and have been spending so much time over at AVS forums. Figured this would be a good thread to throw a post in. lol

A little off topic but I must say, owning the N5 has been a freaking joy. Absolutely no problems at all and I do not feel the need to do anything to this thing. Probably the best phone I have ever owned which is why I haven't really been around here. There is nothing that needs to be done to this thing!
[Nexus 5 General] mrjeff2:
I say I typically use about 10-12GB / month on Sprint. It's mostly streaming music, the occasional video, and browsing the web.
[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
Is there a point to this thread?
[Nexus 5 General] mrjeff2:
The OP was just curious how much data others were using with their Nexus 5 compared to what they were using.
[Nexus 5 General] jd1639:
Well that seems stupid
[Nexus 5 General] MrObvious:
Sadly. I think some of it may be my tower is overloaded because 3g runs a lot better usually between 5-10 PM and LTE runs great the rest of the time. I have seen 16 Mbps down so I think some of it is just LTE load and not enough bandwidth either at the backhaul or per panel. They have plenty of fiber here so backhaul shouldn't be a huge problem.

I can't wait to see what Spark brings though.
[Nexus 5 General] defnow:
Last cycle I hit 20gb ..this cycle I'm using WiFi a bit more.
[Nexus 5 General] kmx:
Haha I seriously had a nice laugh session with my friend over this post. He is still stuck on sprint and today on campus we both did speedtest and yeah it was so bad he might as well turn data off as it was unusable for him.

I do a lot through out my day. A good portion of them is from when I'm driving and my phone is on the holster on my dash I just have it running it the background.

Part of me feels like I'm starting an actual customer testimonial based coverage map similar to sensorly.

The rest of them I do out of habbit just like checking text messages, emails, snapchats etc... I just have it running in the background.

There is no point for me to use wifi when I am getting these fast speeds on T-Mobile. That's like telling someone to take a bus to get around town, rather than drive their own car which is faster and more convinent.

With wifi I always have to get passwords, and be within a certain range of the router, and the turning on and off,dealing with pop-ups and setting up:rolleyes: I travel a lot so looking for a wifi connection is not fun.

With my LTE I get better battery life than if I had wifi on. Plus it's always on when I need it. I'm paying for it so I am definitely going to use it to the best of my abilities.
[Nexus 5 General] wp7chris:
I use 4-5gb per month

Yup, and your post just oozes of intelligence.
[Nexus 5 General] Bruce Lee:
I couldn't imagine hitting over 40GB. LOL the highest I have ever hit was 4.5GB. I have to use WiFi since I am still on a ATT shared plan.
[Nexus 5 General] Citizen_Snips:
My highest since I have been with T-Mobile on the Nexus 5 is like 8 gigs. When I was back on Verizon though and I didn't have Wi-Fi at my place yet, I used my phone to tether my PS3 and play Battlefield and watch Netflix all the time. My highest was 120 gigs. It was pretty cool too. Never lagged once. :p

I love my N5 but I miss being grandfathered in unlimited VZW 4GLTE lol. Still, no regrets.
[Nexus 5 General] cobyman7035:
2-6gb, im only on rogers 6gb data cap! if i had more i'd use up more , mostly updating apps, downloading xxx, streaming tuneinpro, i try to limit my video streaming via NHL gamecenter app
[Nexus 5 General] MrObvious:
Update, I added a couple lines to my build.prop to disable fast dormancy and hsxpa as well as downgraded to the 15 radio from the 17 (came stock at 23 which didn't hold a signal even going down the road where coverage is great) and I got better speeds of like 3-4 down and up.
[Nexus 5 General] ilanzo82:
last five days

:laugh:
[Nexus 5 General] PsychDrummer:
My signal isn't great at home so I stick with Wifi, and I'm usually on Wifi at school. For some reason, my reception is great and I'm on HSPA+ but the speed is really slow. Still haven't figured it out. But I mainly use data on my commute and I think I use about 2-3 gb a month streaming music. I do think it's ridiculous that most (I think) carriers limit your data. It reminds me of the time people still had dial-up and internet providers had bandwidth caps. You would think data caps would be extinct by now.

Edit: Especially with increasing data speeds, the faster the data the more data people tend to use.
[Nexus 5 General] CellPhish:
Dannng do you use the built in tether? I have unlimited too but I never went over 2gb on tether
[Nexus 5 General] kresk:
I'd say I average around 80gb. That mostly comes from streaming Netflix via miracast. I'm on a T-Mobile unlimited everything plan. And I love it!

About 20gigs a month on Metro PCS

[Nexus 5 General] kmx:
Nice what speeds are you getting. T-Mobile recently stopped my tethering after I hit 40GB and kept forcing me to goto the T-Mobile Hotspot upsell page.

So I added a User Agent Overrider addon on to Firefox and not I'm back to tethering again.:victory:

:laugh::laugh: play around with tethering for a week and see if you like it and can get use to it. I hope you don't have other users in your household who rely on your internet connection.

Not really it remains at a cool temperature.

I check regularly because I have this app called GSAM battery that gives me the battery temperature and other statistics on the battery.

The only time my battery gets hot is when I am driving in the car, and recording dash cam footage while the music I like from soundcloud is playing in the background, while I am also charging my Nexus 5 with my car charger.

The highest temperature my battery ever reached was 123 degrees Fahrenheit. I don't know if it did any damage but as of right now it's working fine.;)
[Nexus 5 General] Shudder123:
have a 3gb plan and use less then half of it. around 0.5-1 gb per month.

i rarely download any big files on my phone as thats what my pc is for

Anyway, I've seen it mentioned multiple times here- "speed tests". Are you guys talking about the SpeedTest.net app? Does using this app and running the 60second speed tests use a lot of data?
[Nexus 5 General] ilanzo82:
yup, built in tether. I watch a lot of movies and tv series! before t-mo, on Verizon, my average was about 40 gbs. My most ever was over 100 :good: unlimited data should be used.

[Nexus 5 General] TheAtheistOtaku:
thats because sprint is so slow that its pretty much impossible to use more then a gig a month (unless you a really patient person) i came from sprint to tmobile. I went from about a 500mb average a month to a 3-4gb average a month because tmobiles data is actually useable
[Nexus 5 General] MrObvious:
Uh I've used probably 6GB since late late January.

That plan was a year ago and the prices were higher than anything T-Mobile has now. Premium was 95 a month and Ultra with Hotspot was 125 bucks a month back then.
[Nexus 5 General] zoppp:
I rarely use WiFi now a days because of unlimited LTE on T-Mobile. Ya I know they don't have LTE coverage everywhere, but I spend most of my time in and around my town where I have great coverage so I'm not complaining. Usually use close to 20gb a month mostly YouTube and spotify.
[Nexus 5 General] herosemblem:
Do you know if T-Mobile has an unlimited prepaid plan with no throttling? Their web site did not say on the fine print, whether their (for example) $70 plan was throttled at some point. Thank you.

I was using ~2GB/mo with VZW, have only had Tmo for a couple weeks and have so far used about 4GB.

I still don't abuse it on purpose, and still use WiFi when available. Abusing the network in the name of fun is kind of stupid, and it just going to get them to start imposing restrictions.

My data is almost all streaming music from slacker/google.

mobiledata caps at 500mb so I stay below that each month, bandwidth management in chrome sure helps here, got a pretty good wifi both at home and work so that helps, on wifi i've used 9gb already this month :)

[Nexus 5 General] Evo_Shift:
About 1GB. I'm almost always on wifi though. Also being on sprint doesn't really help use up a ton of data. I'm not sure how people use that much unless they are purposely doing it just to use the data or something.

Hit 10 gigs last month. Lots of MMS, message boards, and tumble.
[Nexus 5 General] Splux:
Usually about 3GB as that is the data limit I have...

When I don't have any limit for how much I can use; probably 30GB+ per month as I stream a lot. It's way more comfortable watching something from my phone, than having to move my monitor, set it in the right angle and then still have to lay down in bed in some weird position.

I generally use right around 5GB/month (which happens to be the point where I'd be throttled by T-Mobile). When I move in to my next place, I'm going to look in to ditching Wi-Fi, signing up for an unlimited data plan, and simply tethering for all my home internet use.

Anyone know off the top of their head if T-Mobile offers a plan that would work well for this?
