HIGH mobile data usage

After numerous tests and multiples un-installed and re-installed processes, i had no other options than sharing my frustration here.

Deezer will consume a LOT of mobile data and despite using the BASIC sound mode for mobile, it will consume up to 4mb/s resulting in an average of 50-70mb per tracks. 

I downloaded GlassWire and monitored each and every settings from Deezer and even found that the STANDARD mode will use a less as 900kb/s whereas the BASIC used a minimum of 1279kb/s

I made use i stopped the app after each settings change and restart it before testing. 

Today, i cannot enjoy my trips to work without stressing about bursting my monthly data plans..

Things were fine 2 months ago, just decided to act weird after every updates…

Using the latest deezer with Android 14

    Yup, there are numerous posts about this already. Very annoying issue, this has been bugging me for months. Thought it was fixed recently, but I just received an alert for my data usage and clearly Deezer is the one to blame.

    Even video-apps like YouTube and Twitch don’t use as much data as the lowest possible music quality ... this is unbelievable

     

     

    High mobile data usage can be caused by several factors, including streaming videos, downloading large files, background app refreshes, and automatic updates. Social media apps, especially those that auto-play videos, can also consume significant amounts of data. To reduce mobile data usage, consider lowering video streaming quality, using Wi-Fi whenever possible, disabling automatic app updates teeth whitening stoke on trent and backups, and monitoring which apps are consuming the most data through your phone's settings.

    I’ve started a song that is 06:39 minutes, standard audio quality:

    Data usage was at: 38.84 Mb

    After playing this song: 50.12 Mb.

    12 Mb for a song at standard audio quality.

     

    I also started a song that is 04:01 minutes, basic audio quality:

    Data usage was at: 50.19

    After playing this song: 112,63

     

    I will test this later again, but now it looks like that the basic is using more than standard??

    And these are songs that I haven’t listened before on my phone, so no cache is being used. vn premium apk

    ​@RobertScott56 , this is correct. As you can read in a previous post from ​@Leonídia.Deezer. The basic is using the same quality as Hifi.

    I was hoping that this was fixed, but it isn’t.
