Data hungry Note - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I've been monitoring my data usage on the note and came to the conclusion that this beast is hungry for data.
I've been an iPhone user before, I still do the same things on the note as I did on the iPhone (using Chrome instead of safari now tough) but my data usage is twice as it would be. I had a 1 gigabyte plan with my iPhone and always ended up holding 300 -/+ megabytes at the end of the month.
With my note I use that in 5 days?! I'm stuck to a 2 gigabyte plan, no unlimited unfortunately because of the pricing.
When I'm at home I use wifi only and turn of mobile data.
I added some screens to show you my usage. Is there anyway I can cut it down? Since when does Instagram eat that much? And isn't chrome supposed to be data friendly?

Is that the 'reduce data usage' check?

also avoid stock browser, CNET or Engadget done a piece a few months ago about how it uses more data than any other browser, might be worth disabling auto updates and restrciting your background data on apps too. I use around 2.17GB per month on mine currently.

Good luck. I *just* came off 10 days of being capped this morning. Very frustrating, but now i'll be a bit better about my data choices. That's hard to do when my phone is faster than the DSL line I have at work...
How you guys use 5 GB in a month baffles me. I don't even touch 1 GB. I suppose it helps that I don't have 3G in my area, though
don't let the cap let you down.I still have a few days left over. You could still be using the internet but without videos. Its slow and a pain but its better then nothing

That is really odd. I am on a month to month flexpay and my data always shows as 0 used.... it never registers....
I download many roms and test many roms so due to that I usually go over 5gb

Lol, I think the lack of 3G is definitely related.
5GB was a lot several years ago. With Amazon Cloud Player I'm pretty sure I could hit that easily...no tethering involved.
Definitely do about that per day on my DSL line. It's just not that much if Netflix/music streaming are involved. I would leave AT&T, but my only other option is a bush league cable company with a 25 GB per month cap. Yeah, 25. Please, government, step in and pwn these jerks.

Im at 3.5 with 10 days into billing so I will be there at some point.
Streaming Via slingbox tends to suck data.
@Binary what did you do?
Hey binary.......
Wtf man?
And other guy. Its really easy to hit 5gb when u owe time warner money and ur phone is primary internet. Flash content is a ***** AND I work in a kitchen 40+ hrs and stream pandora on a speaker system for the customers (mostly reggae, its a laid back place). Add to that, dl'ing roms, n64 and psx games and mp3s using download apps plus youtube, couple full episodes of conan and just 1 night I decided to stream the movie "paul". Its very easy to hit 5gb. No tethering either. Luckily Im not changing roms anytime soon until gps fix for 2.3s happens, and I think I got a decent library of games now, so I just gotta slow down my youtubing a bit and I should be ok.

last time i hit 5gb was when i watched discovery land... streaming HD video from nasa's website consumed a ridiculous amount of data...

You wont get capped as long as you don't have the "4G unlimited plan", my friend has an old plan like I SHOULD have (asshole tmobile changed my plan after they grandfathered me which I think is illegal) and they don't monitor his data use.

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
Sent from my MB860 using XDA Premium App
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.

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

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

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

No signal and recovery not working

I flashed a international ROM on my 801 yesterday and it seemed fine. I rebooted the phone and then lost my signal + phone keeps rebooting. Backups do the same thing. Made a mistake wiping everything. Was able to use the LG tool to download a stock ROM but for some reason it still boots up 4.4 and with no signal then reboots. Stock recovery just boots for a few seconds then reboots. Thanks for any help.

I tried all these and nothing has worked. The KitKat Rom keeps coming up even when I use the LG Tool to flash a stock Rom. I notice around 80% the phone reboots while flashing the software. I wonder if I should try and power the phone off when it does that so maybe it will take? Probably a dumb idea...Have no signal or WiFi and the stock recovery just boots up for a second. The Rom stays on sometimes for a min or two so I can put small files into the storage. Not sure how to get twrp back on. If I do that maybe I can flash my modem back up and be good to go. Probably dreaming though. lol

I had the same issue and this problem makes me a little weary of rooting the G2 again, although I was able to go to stock unrooted without issues.. I've never had an issue like this the Samsung phones I've rooted.

Still want to try and fix my phone. Trying to figure out how to get twrp or and recovery back on my phone. As of now the stock recovery just boot loops. Phone powers up for a min or two and I can get small files into the internal storage. No signal or WiFi.
I'm having the same issue with my Verizon G2. I attempted to restore to stock but am getting that same error in LG FlashTool. Any suggestions??
