I find switching 4g on helps phone find gps quicker, I usually turn it off once it has located me tho.
Makes sense, it immediately knows which cell it's near so helps the GPS chip start it's numerical solving faster.

That's how I thought it helped, ta for confirming.
I've been able to check prev months, Beaming Service usually uses about 2.5mb background data per month. Todays 1+gb was all background data. No option to disable background data though (can do this for other apps).
Keen to avoid this happening again.

I was using Strava with bluetooth hrm strap. Only things close were car key (53 plate), mini compass, whistle, and Trek bar.
Location & Bluetooth enabled. I had left 4g on but have done this lots of times before with minimal data used. Fwiw: I find switching 4g on helps phone find gps quicker, I usually turn it off once it has located me tho.
