Excessive Background Data Usage

[findkiko]

Firstly, apologies if this isn't the correct repo to file issues against (sidenote: an architecture overview would go a long way here).

Airbitz on android just burned through my available cellular data while in the background. The settings tell me it's used 90MB. I've only sent a handful of transactions (on wifi usually) so I'm assuming this is just updating the business directory info. If this is the case, I'd appreciate a way to disable these updates if on cellular connection if not entirely. Unfortunately his is a deal-breaker for me personally for a bitcoin wallet, which is sad because I've spent much time recommending it to others over the last year.

Many thanks.

We don't fetch from the directory unless you are actively viewing listings. This is probably the wallet itself actively checking the blockchain. I'm surprised it ate up that much data, since it's nowhere near as bad on our phones. Android does have a setting to restrict background data to certain apps when on mobile networks.

Thanks for the response, I've since restricted background data out of fear, which is sad. screenshot here: https://i.imgur.com/1tiAL8J.png
Let me know if there's anything I can do to figure out what's going on etc.
