This has only started recently, less than a week. My battery is just getting its ass kicked.

My day to day is work, on WiFi, always full barrs Sunday - Sunday. I stopped spectrum mobile from gps location yada yada but it doesn’t do anything or help.

    I don’t pay 40 a month lmao. I pay $60 for two lines on spectrum both with 30gb cap and 2g if you go over that cap (I’ve never gone over once). Nothing comes close to spectrum here. Even boost mobile for the same plan is $60 a month per line. Verizon is almost double. And I’m not about getting contracted up. I’ve had spectrum mobile since it first came out and I’ve had 0 issues. Either my phone is shit or this app updated to a broken version draining my battery. My wife has an iPhone and is not effected at all. I see no logical reason to drop my carrier at all.

        “Typical 4G LTE & 5G download speeds are 9-149 Mbps. Video streams in SD. In times of traffic, your data may be temporarily slower than other traffic.” no thanks

          You don’t have T-Mobile or Verizon in your area? You’re on Spectrum, which uses Verizon towers. Visible is owned by Verizon, and is arguably a better deal, especially if you pay annually. Mint Mobile is owned by T-Mobile; T-Mobile is right behind Verizon for coverage.

          As someone who had the displeasure of having Spectrum internet for almost 5 years, I would strongly suggest leaving that shithole company in the dust.

            verizon is trash dude, no one would pay those prices and be contracted. Verizon is starting at $65 a line at its “unlimited welcome” plan. the 30gb plan is $80 and the50gb is $90. t-mobile is just as bad if not worse. with 50gb STARTING at 90 a month with the next tier up is 150 a month. its fucking garbage dude. i don’t understand how people on this site cant be like “oh…idk man maybe this dude looked at all the options before buying a phone plan and might have picked the best option in their area” how is that a hard concept to grasp? good lord, i just want help with an app dude im not going to change my plan to some shit, expensive garbage.

              It’s still a better value even monthly.

              That said - use adb to remove the app, or just disable it and remove permissions. I’ve found the latter to be just as effective with certain built-in apps.

          The stupidity continues, I see.

          You specifically said nothing comes close to Spectrum, and I post something that’s $2 cheaper for the exact same service. Both plans are 2 lines, both plans have 100GB of full speed data between 2 lines, and both have unlimited QCI 8/7 data after your 50GB per line (which is the same as your current plan), with unlimited talk and text. It’s literally ATT, T-Mobile, or Verizon (you can literally choose which carrier you want, and can even switch them every day).

          I posted to literally refute your first statement (which I did–completely) and every correspondence back and forth that we’ve had since then has been you misunderstanding something one way or another. You need to go back to school. This is honestly so embarrassing for you.

            But it’s not same serivce. It’s $2 cheaper, favors iPhones, has shared data, and that rate is for only 6 months then spikes up. It’s like you just googled a plan, screen shotted it, didn’t read anything else and then thought I wouldn’t look at it. So even if we split the data then we’d lose 5gb each per month. You sent me a shitty ass plan dude

            Verizon is 90 per line. T mobile is 90 per line. Both are 150 for 50gh per line. Zip codes matter dude.

              But it’s not same serivce.

              It’s the _exact same service, favors no specific phone over another, has a shared data pool so one user can use 100GB in a month if the other uses none, and the price is locked in by paying yearly.

              It’s like you just googled a plan, screen shotted it, didn’t read anything else

              I’m on this plan and I’ve professionally sold phones for over a decade. It’s almost like you just googled a plan, and started talking shit about it without even knowing what you’re talking about.

              You continue to be hands down the dumbest person I’ve found on lemmy since coming here. You’re inventing shit up out of thin air to make it seem like a bad plan when it’s LITERALLY (again, literally, not figuratively) the same service you have right now. Both Spectrum and US Mobile are MVNO and RESELL Verizon’s service as a third party. It’s the same fucking service you have at this exact second for slightly cheaper, much more flexible, and completely fixes the issue that you made this thread about to begin with.

              I really hope you find the time to fix yourself in the future because your personality is dog shit.

          I pay $60 for two

          And this is $58 for 2 lines… I literally sent you a picture man… Jesus.

          You get reduced speeds at 50 GB, down to basically dial-up speeds. US Mobile’s data cap isn’t until 100GB, and you still get 1Mbps after the cap…

          You get double the data for the same price, for the same 2 phones… I’m begging you to read man.

              I’ve been on Lemmy for like 3 weeks, and you’re the dumbest person I’ve met so far. There should be like, an award.

              The best part is you don’t even understand it.
