I’m in the Fort Lauderdale area, and I have been having intermittent issues with Google Play Store for the past couple of weeks. It usually occurs when I’m trying to update apps.
I have just recently switched back to T-Mobile, and the data does seem a bit high but I’m using a Pixel 6a - and Android definitely uses more (idle time) data than an iPhone does. Years ago, when I was on Google Fi, my data allotment for the month would be gone in a day or two and that was without actually doing much with my Android phone. Now, I have installed Netguard which I use to block apps that I don’t want accessing the Internet or to control how and when they can, and it has helped with taming the overall data usage. I also use Bouncer to limit what permissions certain apps can have which can also limit how frequently they ‘call home’ or Google.I will definitely be keeping a better eye on what T-Mobile says my data use is and see if it continues to be higher than it reasonably should be.
You didn’t mention what navigation app you have, but it sounds like the navigation prompts are muted. Try looking around in the app for turn by turn prompts and make sure it is set to audible. Some apps have these controls on the main navigation screen.
