Atrix data usage

Has anyone noticed an exorbitant amount of data being used? I just checked my bill and Im well over 3GB of data and I've never tethered my phone. I did notice that from time to time I have packets of data over 200mb randomly through out my bill. What is causing all this data usage

Well some apps do auto updating like Facebook and Engadget. Turn those off or change them to 1 hour periods. Also download 3G Watchdog and watch how much data you use. You can set it so that when you get to 1.9GB it automatically turns off 3G/data. Worked good for me when I had my 2GB plan. I got my unlimited back though.

do you have the twitter app on your phone
i would constantly find that app being a big data eater when i didnt use it even with auto update off

Oh I have unlimited so no worries lol but I just found it odd that Im almost at 4GB and also the random large packets of over 200MB
Edit: I do have the twitter app so that might be the culprit

I used to have about 800 megs usage monthly on my old tilt 2, now first month of use with Atrix went over 2.3 gb. I have unlimited anyways.

this isnt normal there shouldnt be any programs using 200mb of data without you downloading or using it. it could be a rogue app downloading this and killing your battery too. get the app 3G watchdog it will tell you how much data each program is using.

I don't understand what you people are doing. But yes I agree with the OP. I'm using much more data than even my previous Captivate. I explain it with the fact that this phone is about 23 times faster so I use it at least twice as much to do at least four times more...
My regular is like 1.6gb. Seldom tethering and almost never used to download movies/files/other big things. Thats the only way I can see someone using that much data. But any decent broadband connection would be so much faster I don't understand why anyone would...

My father-in-law used 40 gigs in January on a 3g iPhone. The last 6 months he has averaged about 30 gigs. AT&T just (a couple days ago) served him a notice that he had a week to get his usage under control or he'd be kicked from the network. We are mere mortals to his power usership.

LOL wtf does he do with his phone to use 40Gb of data in a month?! I use my phone frequently every day and I usually end up with 1Gb or less. I'm on WiFi at home and work though...so maybe that's why.
Either way, OP, Twitter probably isn't the culprit. Even if it was updating every 15 minutes no way it would use 200Mb even over the entire month. Twitter uses virtually no data at all...there's gotta be something else that's using it up.
For me it was Dungeon Defenders. For some reason when updating (it's usually like a 600-700Mb update) my WiFi flickered (I think because the power flickered...there was a storm going on outside at the time) and it defaulted to 3G for the entire update. 700Mb of data all in about an hour lol. Doesn't bother me much since I have unlimited, but still.

I think I might have just noticed what is using so much data. I downloaded 3g watch dog to see what my usage habits are like. Everything seemed normal (kinda noticed I used 10mb of data in less than 24hr) until I ran a bench mark using smartbench then another bench tool ( the one with the white rabbit) and I went from 10mb to 24mb in those two tests. I had been running benchmarks around 10 or more times a day so that might explain it

Tethered in to his computer most likely, or used it for Hulu and Netflix. I know one guy who left the eagle nest Ustream webcam up on his computer overnight, and went over 5 gigs in just 24 hours.

You guys don't off your data when phone not in use?

AT&T says average people don't use more than 2GB a month, with smartphones becoming more and more popular and increasingly more like laptops how can anyone stay under 2GB. Just look at the random things using data... my dialer?! Isn't that the thing I use to make phone calls lol

This was talked about months ago Z. People thought it meant cell phones too but it does not.

I heard about it being laptop cards and mobile hotspots, not tablets as well. My Evo view 4g is useless now, wonder if a change like this lets me out of my tablet contract... I have the cheapest tablet data plan but I use a bit of 4g. No torrenting or anything like that but I feel kind of lied to. Stupid iPhone ruining everything for the rest of us.

If they kill unlimited cell data, not really sure where to go next. At&t is evil and doesn't care about it's customers and Verizon is almost as bad. T-Mobile will either flounder or become a fully owned subsidiary of at&t. US phone market really sucks. At&t and Verizon are making more money than ever and put all but the dregs straight into the pocketbooks of their investors.

Define 'mobile broadband'. Is that like tethering from your phone if you do it officially? I'm under the impression 'hotspot' would be more like if you have one of those wifi cards. Will the actual data through my phone to ONLY my phone still remain unlimited?
If not, Sprint is going to be in a world of hurt. This is the only thing keeping people there right now. Their service is okay, their 3G speed is pathetic. If they implement this before they roll out Network Vision, there is absolutely ZERO reason to stick with them. After Network Vision is a maybe, as then maybe the speeds will be something sort of useful.

If you pay for the Hotspot on your phone it has a 5GB limit and then throttles you down I believe. Mobile Broadband is a card you plug into a laptop to give you internet in any 3G or 4G area.

That's what I figured, thanks. Does the 5GB limit only apply while you're running the Hotspot app I wonder? Or if you have it, do you automatically default to a cap?

Gezz, this will push more people to root.

How exactly can Sprint tell whether you're using tethered data or not, if you're not officially paying for the service?

When you run the paid Hotspot it signs you into the network to verify you pay for it. At that time it must keep track of your usage until you sign out. We would have to see the terms and conditions of the $30 hotspot addition to be sure. But the also have hardware hotspots which I am sure the new caps are geared towards.

So since I pay for Hotspot on my ET4G, can I use that some then just use WifiTether 3.1 beta 6 (which works great actually) as a tradeoff? Also, if not downloading tons of ROMs, is this cap going to be easy to hit?

I would think so considering that "technically" you don't have hotspot subscription and you are just using your phones data.

I have an Airave also and it is mainly for voice but it will increase your 3G speeds. Although it's kind of pointless since you need an internet connection for the Airave to work.
Also to OP, it took you years to get one? I made one phone call (albeit 30 minutes long) and received mine within a week. If it wasn't for my Airave I would have to drop Sprint.
Here's at home (3G) speeds..but I'm always on wifi

That is cool, I need me one of these. I'm gonna check it out sometime next week. Thanks!

I also got one without any issues when I asked. Free.
One note: DO NOT USE IT AS YOUR ROUTER. The instructions had you set it up like this:
--->internets----modem----airave----wifi/router))))computer
The airave acts as the DHCP server using this set up... and it's terrible and slow. It was for me anyway. It's just a crappy at NAT and DHCP stuff.
Instead, it should be set up as follows:
--->internets----modem----wifi/router---airave
(and computer connected to the wifi/router, not the airave.)
Some manual configuration will be needed, and ports will have to be opened and forwarded on your router.

I have wifi but I've never been able to use 3g so pretty much I've been paying sprint for garbage service so I am now going to take advantage of unlimited data

I have good service with my Airave. When my phone is connected to it, I hear it go off when I get an SMS about 5 seconds before the computer dings (Google Voice Chrome Extension). Without the Airave, my phone would sometimes take 10 minutes.
BTW, here's my speeds with the Airave...

I use G voice for text and have no issues with my Airave..

Thats good. Less volume on the network.
Go ahead and call to get your airaves people

Sprint many times offered me the airave but they wanted me to pay for it which I wasn't up for. Its like buying a working car and then the guy says ok well it'll b extra if u want the engine too. I'm happy as shyt now with the airave my messages all come in on time I can download mms in seconds and most important I don't have missed calls now. I will gladly be paying my sprint bill now... with a smile n everything

My WAG is that they're texting anyone who's ever used the built-in tethering app.
I tether 4days/week (although I use relatively little data) using the CyanogenMod tethering functionality and haven't received the message.
The most I've used is 600MB/mo, so it's not like I'm hosing them. But if they restrict my tethering I will drop that line. I lived without mobile data for a long time and can do so again easily. I only hand out my Google voice number so dropping this line won't affect my contacts.

Question.
It says not compatible with mobile hot spot, I assume they mean tethering
when I was with Sprint it was the same deal, of course since I was rooted and simply got the wifitether.apk no problems at all.
Will this be the same thing?
I tether all the time, I assume anyone that needs the unlimited basically does as well.

Wonder if there will be anything for the monthly4g? Right now I have the $30 100min 5GB data, unlimited text. I need more minutes.

This is truly awesome, right now im on the 2g plan, so changing to this unlimited plan will cost me $10 more a month, sounds like a deal to me. No more crappy wifi that I have at my home!! And no more fighting with my bro over the wifi!
This is a pathetic excuse for wifi

Canada is still so, so behind...

Sign me up! $5 less than the 5gb tether plan, and I don't even tether. justifies leaving Verizon and giving up my grandfathered unlimited data plan!

no one answered me yet.
I assume they will only take the tethering option off the menu for the phone, but I will still be able to tether correct?

Oh I am so sorry we didn't answer your question, everyone knows when fastfed asks a question everyone should rush to answer it. How the hell should we know dude, we know the same information as you do. Just wait till it comes out and check.

Existing customers can simply change their data plans, provided they are on Classic or Value plans (not Legacy or grandfathered, but that may change)
Tethering will be disabled on this plan similar to how it is disabled on the current 2GB data plan once 100MB is exceeded.
There will be NO option to add the $15 tethering & mobile hotspot feature add on to this new plan at this time. Customers wanting tethering will be advised to take the 5GB or 10GB plan instead.
As always, rooted devices will be able to find work arounds, which i would anticipate seeing an increase in customers visiting these forums seeking "one click roots" and then not getting the joke when they are redirected to the noob video...
Financially this makes sense for magenta as they have been getting squeezed at both ends; losing customers up to red & blue, losing them laterally to yellow, and also losing them down to MVNOs & their own M4G product.
Although i do not have any info on the new data plan being available for M4G, i would anticipate it NOT being offered.
With 500,000 postpaid losses lass quarter combined with 250,000 prepaid additions, there is a serious concern that this trend will continue.
There needs to be some substantial reason to stop the churn as well as migrate existing M4G customers to a postpaid Value plan.

I'm paying $25 more for the "unlimited premium + hotspot" which is the 5GB plan.
If this is going to cost $20 more for value customers, does it mean I'm going to pay $5 less if add this to my plan?

Yes but you will lose the hotspot feature, unless it still works with a custom rom
