Data sense not very accurate.....my phone says 1019 remaining out of 1024 mb so 5 mb used......carrier (telus) says 1013 remaining as of yesterday. so 11 mb used.==== 6 mb difference

you could used your carrier app to see what is going on with your data.


and I would wait for the news release before buying one today.....windows phone with 8.1 are coming

From what I understand, they still are.

Data Sense is very accurate for me. Therefore it must be accurate for everyone.
But anyways, ATT is still blocking that.
Has anyone flashed the ATT 1520 with another ROM like me,flashing the ATT 920 with the French or Rogers ROM? (and getting Data Sense)

My L920 dev phone comes with Data sense and works fine on AT&T. So, Data sense will work if your phone comes with it. Otherwise, I haven't heard any AT&T branded phones have Data sense.

I have data sense as well and love it (AT&T retail 1520). Been pretty accurate so far.

Well, you could be arguing that Data Sense is terribly inaccurate and always off by 120% (11 MB / 5 MB) or that it's extremely accurate with only a +/- 6 MB possible variance from actual, putting it at 99.88% accurate for someone using 5 GB in a month.

How do you have data sense on AT&T? And you say you got it from an AT&T retail store?

 

[Chris_Kez]

I still don't have it on my AT&T 920, and when I was in the store last month the guy didn't know of any plans to enable it. He recommended the My AT&T app to monitor usage, which is okay but doesn't tell you about app-level data usage. That detail would be helpful if you're trying to figure out your usage patterns or pinpoint what's eating up data.

I'm currently using Rogers Lumia 920 (love pentaband phones) and the Data Sense on there works no problems. I don't wanna use an app that uses data to monitor my data, I like the fact that MS put that at an OS level instead.
Sad that they let AT&T block something like that. So sad.
