Yes, we've spent a lot of time online looking at fixes and tried everything - making sure nothing runs in the background (signing off and closing out of apps), turning off the automatic videos in FB, making sure notifications are off, turning off the mifi/wifi when not in use, changing the email setting so it's not automatically feeding in, etc. We have a bundled account with the phone plus mifi, so when using the ipad or laptop at home, we use the mifi/wifi - both his phone and the wifi are using about the same. In less than 2 weeks we are already at 5.842!
