User Spit Slot:
Micro-letters without prior notice of the consumption of traffic
Recently, many netizens spit slot "hit the plane" of the flow consumption problem. A user recently received a message from the operator said: As of August 12 7:52, your monthly package flow has been using 1022.55MB, the remaining flow of 103.85MB, more than part of the domestic (excluding Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) will be 0.0003 yuan kilobyte charges. He couldn't figure out where the traffic was going, and the final judgment was that it was a game played by airplanes.
There are a number of similar cases on Weibo. A user said: "Less than half a month, playing the plane I used 2G traffic." A user said: Recently played a few hours a day to play aircraft games, 100M traffic this morning said not enough 10M. Another user said: "Recently my colleagues have hit the plane has been shut down, most of the traffic emergency."
Play games generated by the flow of controversy also prompted the micro-trust users of the suspicion, there is a user question: How no one told me to hit the plane so fee flow!? More users questioned: Tencent did so, is not to please mobile operators to avoid the micro-letter to the jihad and specifically designed to allow users to pay more traffic fees?
Reporter measured: Hit the aircraft consumption capacity of 1M more/hour
Everyday love eliminates the flow of 2m/hours
For these two games of traffic consumption problem, the reporter interviewed Tencent company, the company related Personage explains, "Every day loves to eliminate" in with the network produces the connection to produce the corresponding flow, among them mainly is the user first time obtains the friend information and the avatar to produce, the ordinary game bureau number consumes very few. and "classic plane wars" the flow of consumption than "Every day love to eliminate" smaller.
The reporter observed that the cost of the aircraft to hit the flow is certain. After the mobile phone into flight mode to start the aircraft, the interface only stay in the "Aircraft War" Welcome page, unable to enter. and micro-mail to play the plane belongs to the net, from friends scoring ranking of the game can be judged to go flow.
After the installation has opened a flow of real-time monitoring software, the reporter in the game process, you can always see the flow of consumption. Reporter found that in the "hit the plane" game within 1 hours, the flow consumption of about 1M more. and "Love every day to eliminate" the flow of consumption can reach 2M per hour. In contrast, the flow of the brush Weibo is much larger.
Experts say: The flow fee is still very expensive hope operators to reduce prices
Some experts say that because of the current popularity of cloud technology, including games, a large number of applications need to network to use, so users feel the flow of consumption is particularly fast.
360 Mobile phone security experts told reporters, although each play "jet" game of the flow is not large, but for the user obsessed with the game, the monthly flow will be a lot of traffic, which requires the user reasonable control of the use of traffic. Tencent people said that micro-trust users in the game can be clicked on the "System settings" button → "2g/3g flow statistics", at any time to see the flow of consumption.
On the other hand, because current traffic charges are not cheap, users should try to use free WiFi or 3G networks. Telecommunications Expert Liang said that the current mobile phone access to most of the Internet traffic is also high cost 2G network, with the upgrade of operators network, traffic rates will quickly drop, 4G network is a few cents per m, so I hope that China's 4G network licensing business as soon as possible.
Recommendations:
Can be opened flow detection reminders
Many users complain that some applications generate traffic but do not actively alert users. Consumers, Mr. Guo said, sometimes download two of similar apps, the function is similar, but the actual consumption of traffic is very different. He suggested that app developers in the product introduction to the normal use of it a day or a unit, how much traffic may be consumed, give a basic reference value for people to choose.
In addition, mobile phone traffic consumption is also related to some "abnormal" situation. 360 security experts said that 61% of the Android malware will secretly download various applications in the background, the serious consumption of mobile phone traffic and electricity.
In this respect, experts recommend users to download the installation of some mobile phone guards or mobile phone butler applications such as real-time detection of traffic consumption. However, there is a slight difference between the flow statistics of such application statistics and the operator statistics, because the application only statistics the traffic consumption of the system application layer, and the operators are based on the network statistics.
