Usage start date

[windowworld]

How do I change the 3G data usage start date so it corresponds to my monthly contract dates?

you have to set a data limit/alarm (1GB, 2GB, etc) then you can change this, unless your phone its locked to a carrier they could had set it up (if you can't modify it)

It's called "Data usage cycle" and the latest choice available to me is "14 May - 13 Jun" when I want "9 June - 8 July" which corresponds to my contract dates.

I have already set up (red) max and (yellow) warn levels of 480MB and 395MB (my allowance is 500MB/month).

Cannot see how to change dates - which go back to 1970 in total !!

There are also sliders I can use (currently set to 9th to 13th June).

This is driving me crazy - must be able to change dates somehow.

By the way bought phone on 5 May so does not link to purchase date in any way.

Service menu shows mobile totally unlocked.

tap on the date > drop down menu > change cycle...

I'm now going to root my Z so I can get the latest update! - don't worry I have done it before with my Xperia Mini

Done - and ~370 as well using PC Companion

BTW The 160+ dates in the Start Date list have now reduced to 1

LATER:

Should be 10.1.1.A.1.307 and 522 dates in Start Date List (January 1970 until June 2013)
