Mobile data used unless restriction

App version: 3.9.0

Android version: 13.x

Device model:Fairphone 3+

Expected behaviour:not using mobile data

Current behaviour:using mobile data

First occurred: few weeks

App used 420 mb in a few days time, unless data use is full restricted in my settings.

You have your choice of what mobile data may be used for. In the Downloads menu, click on Mobile Updates, and then check only the items you want to happen over mobile data.

In my case, I download episodes over Wi-Fi and have un-checked most items in the Mobile Updates menu. AntennaPod uses almost no mobile data for me.

I have same problem. Same version. App downloads Something on backgroud. Round and round. All mobile data updates are disabled in the app. It is bug in the app.

As I wrote, no mobile data may be used in my settings. I did not oblige the app to download or stream on mobile data, did not visit websites of podcasts nor used the search engine.

  • Do you use a VPN?
  • Do you get a warning message when you try to manually download something on mobile network?

I don’t use VPN. I do get a warning when I accidently try to download or stream, then I cancel. Antennapod used 520 Mb in the background in 15 days. I listen about two hours at podcasts from the download list, it seems Antennapod is streaming it anyway. It’s a great app, but 1Gb a month is too much of my dataplan.

Curious. Mine shows only 169K mobile data used by AntennaPod since September 10. (I allow Synchronization, but all other types of mobile updates are un-checked.)

Do you use version 3.9.0 too?

Yes, 3.9.0 (1f242876d)

A post was split to a new topic: No episodes in inbox

I noticed that the application downloads (about 10 MB) something via mobile data (or WiFi) every time it is switched on and after each time the display is turned on. It is very unpleasant bug.

Netstat on mobile shows thanks to WhoIs servers like Cloudflare or Fastly.

Is it or will it be possible to completely (!!) turn off all communication via mobile (paid) data in the application?

The options to do that are already there. Are you saying that they are not doing what you have them set to do?

Yes, i have all mobile updates and all synchro disabled. But sometimes (it is any random bug) it happens to me that the application downloads (or sending?) something when it goes to the foreground.

I also have this issue, in less the than two weeks 300 meagabytes of mobile data was used.

Since i havn’t been streaming or downloading any episodes whithout wifi i find it strange.

Build:3.9.0

If you don’t intend to stream or download episodes while connected to mobile, you might want to un-check those two boxes.

while I do intend to streams episodes I usually never download them while on mobile, so i guess it is as you say better to disable episode download (as i recall this can be overridden on an individual basis anyway.)

You recall correctly: if you attempt to do something that has been disabled for mobile you will be prompted whether you want to do it anyway.
