One reason why such big data consumption is happening in this short time span may be because your laptop is set to receive automatic software updates. Some common programs or software that have auto-update features included are Windows update, antivirus software, etc. Also if you have activated Outlook to download email, then there is a chance that it uses the data at that time.

Another reason is your Galaxy S5 may have auto-downloaded an update in that time.

However, to solve the Hotspot Connection Problem on Galaxy S5, here are some important tips for you.

Use data usage app: Data usage app has three options such as Limit mobile data usage, Mobile data and Alert me about data usage. So our suggestion is to use this app.

Use data alerts option: Samsung understands the need for the users to control the data usage. So you can set the warning level on your mobile that can help to manage the data usage. Simply go to Settings > Data usage section and set your preferred option.

Turn off account sync settings: This option is app specific so you may need to check every app that are installed in your phone and turn off the Auto-sync option if they have. Facebook, Google+ and many other apps have this feature. So you may want to visit them to turn it off.
