My Omnia 7 seems to go online around midnight every night and eats up anything between 4-12mb of data.
I did a factory reset and never installed any other apps and its still happening. The only background task I have is the Samsung Now application.
Anyone suffer similar problems? I've only been made aware as O2 txt me saying I was almost over my data allowance, this has never happened before.
Turn of data usage before you go to bed, if it still happens, then contact Samsung for a refund.

Anyone else experiencing high data usage on the x10? I installed netcounter 4 days ago and it says I've used over 45mb. I consider myself to be a light user, no timescape update, no email/weather apps. Auto update switched off etc. I will browse the web and use facebook for say 20-30 minutes a day, check out the store and thats about it.
The phone seems to be accessing the internet on a regular basis, if I have the phone near my alarm speaker I can hear a lot of interference. Its like it is constantly accessing my data connection.
I'm not too worried about costs as I have 500mb per month, but it does seem unusually high. I'm sure this is draining the battery as well Any ideas?
Have you got "location services" switched on? that will use the network.
Data usage does seem to be very high when compared to other phones, last month I clocked up 650MB+ (on a 500MB bundle) even though I was mostly using WiFi. Just had to bump up my data package to unlimited as the extra 150MB cost me nearly £20.
I think you have some programs or widgets which have automatic update.
Is something with X10 or android in general.
I opened a thread like this sometime ago but nobody knows anything.
My experience:
Factory default, nothing configured (twitter, facebook, email, etc), background sync disabled, gps disabled, etc and i had like 12Mb/day day without doing anything.
I ve been having a problem with my x10 downloading crazy amounts of data the last fewdays. for example i left it on over night and in the period from midnight to 8am it used 75mb with only email set to update. when i woke up i could hear it through my computer speakers contantly downloading so i went into the app manager and forced some programs to close, as soon as i closed google talk the data usage stopped and it hasnt started since. this is all despite the fact that ive never used or even opened google talk. so if you are having problems with high data usage its worth checking google talk even if youve never used it.
does anyone know of a way of uninstalling without root or an app that can stop it running without interfering with other apps?

Use a task killer like Taskpanel, then you can set it on the killer list, so it wont run.
Bloke
thanks, got it to auto kill that but ignore everything else.
Hello,
I got a Samsung Galaxy SII I-9100, stock rom, no modification, and no rom update since I bought it.
Since this week-end, I see very frequent data uploads (green up arrow lights up, and network mode changes from 3G to H+). It happens every few seconds/minutes and stays for several seconds or minutes.
Because of that, my phone battery lasts less than a day instead of 2 full days and nights, and it probably also eats my data plans.
I uninstalled all the applications I downloaded, restarted the phone many times, disabled background data and auto-sync, with no success.
I've installed Radioopt Traffic Monitor, I can see the data being uploaded (around 50 KB in 6 hours), but according to the app, it's not send by any application.
The only work around is to long press the power button and disable "Data network mode". But still, I would like to use data and auto-sync without killing the battery (as I was doing before).
Any idea? I heard it might be related to the network itself. I'm on Vodafone Ireland. Might it be anything I installed?
Thanks for your help.
All your apps any apps .
Apps are set to download/update 24 hours a day .
Check each app and turn off its data connection or use an app like Quick Settings to turn mobile data on/off ,
jje
In my opinion 50kb in 6 hours aint high at all..

Hey,
I've found the answer, it might help somebody else in the same case:
I'm on a prepay contract and I had no credit, so I guess the phone was trying to connect to the APN, and the connection was refused, and it was doing this in a loop. After topping up, the problem disappeared.
Cheers
Same problem with my SGS2 but my phone is not sending 50 KB in 6 hours...but rather 200 MB in 5 hours !
I'm not on a prepaid contract, though.
here is a screenshot of the process sending all those data, if anybody can help me...

I've had my Galaxy Note for a few months now with no issues, all of a sudden last week it would show the H logo (but the little arrows showing data conntection would not move). but when I clicked on anything I would not have any sort of internet connection. I have to restart the phone to get internet connection again, I was on a new rom for over a week before it started happening, I tried 2 other roms since then and still have the same issue. I am about to try a stock rom and see if it still happens. I have also tried different kernels, is there anything else I should try? I show full bars for phone signal and still receive texts (not mms) normally when this happens but no data at all until I restart my phone.
Do you have any "power saving" apps like juicedefender? If you do, you may want to check your settigns as it could be disabled by said app (although you should be able to reconnect at any given time).
You said you have switched roms to see if the issue persisted. When you did this, did you full wipe or just wiped cache?

I've been having similar problems with a few of the custom roms (but can't remember if stock does it or not). In my case I'd lose data for about 5-10, then it would come back, and it randomly happened. I fortunately don't have to restart the phone to fix the issue like you do though. :\ Let me know if the stock rom fixes things!

I don't have juice defender or anything like that... even when i restart my phone, it takes forever for it to catch data, right now i restarted it, its been probably on for a good 3-4 min and still not showing any data.
I always full wipe when I install a new rom.
and it finally came on after a reset but usually data shows the second the phone turns on, this time it took it a good 5 minutes before the H appeared
I would suggest restoring to your first backup after you rooted your phone and see how it goes with the stock rom. Good luck!

try Fresh Network Pro
Has anyone else had really high data usage lately? I have not changed a thing about my phone and Verizon claims I have used 6gb per month for the last two months. Usually I use under 2gb.
They say it's my usage, not their system.I am on wifi about 90% of the day. Any apps that may be causing high usage and I don't know it?

This same thing just happened to me...within the first week of my new billing cycle i got a text showing that i had used all of my data which is 5gb....i know that this was impossible because i had only had my data on a hand full of times because i always use wifi...I had even had data completely turned off in settings...wtf vzw
2 options, 1. check for rogue apps that is sending off data 2. sell the phone and go tmobile for unlimited. I opt for the second option

Looked into the second option, horrible coverage in my area.
First option - How do I check for that?
use apps like wake lock detector but even that you have to know android system real well to define which process that is sending off data. another thing to check is market, make sure its only on "update when on wifi"

Well, did you figure it out? I can't. I called Verizon and they LITERALLY told me that having WiFi meant nothing being turned on and that apps go around wifi to use mobile data. I lol'd and hung up.
Lmao.... some do... anyway, settings mobile data will be decently accurate for mobile and Wi-Fi use if you have no data monitoring apps.
