Mobile data use and problems - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm loosing 50mb over night when I'm not even using my phone, how can I find out what's eating it. Also when on wifi data pops up ever 30secs and then dissapears which shouldn't be happening

Try OSmonitor, it will tell you what's using data
I'm sure there's a few more that actively record usage, but OSmonitor should be fine

When you first started your phone did you unchecked apps can send data automatically whenever they want

What's using my data? Help please

Is there anyway I can check what applications are using data and how much they are using? I've noticed that I've been using a lot of data and I suspect it's happening when I'm not even using the phone.
Started happening after I flashed to JM2...probably just coincidental.

Green Power Compatibility with Nexus S?

Hi people,
Recently went to the market, and I tried downloading Green Power. It claimed to be able to work with 2.3.3
However, I don't see it toggling 3G automatically.
Has anyone managed to get it working?

If you are connected to a wireless network the app doesn't use your data connection. Try running the app with your wireless off or turn off your router. You'll see it working then.

Huh I thought the main objective of the app is to turn off the 3G when its not in use?
What's the point of turning off the wifi or router?

I use an app called "Network Switcher" which seems to work well on my Nexus S

Just tried network switcher ... sometimes it doesn't return me 3G connection ..

I got this yesterday it does switch off the 3g so I think its been working. Although there were a few times when I switch RH screen on and off too quickly that it takes 10 seconds o so before 3g comes back
So far its been good using greenpower can update later

The reason I said to turn off wifi/router was so he could see if the app was turning on/off his 3g connection properly; that being his question

Alright its been a few days and I can safely say that green power is working out awesome for me
If I just leave the phone alone it last a lot longer I'd estimate it to using around 10-20% battery judging by the percentage reported by the phone

No sound or voice from the phone

Hello all. Has any one lost voice, and sound from their phone? Every thing else works, including playing music, Pandora music, and system sounds. But when I go to use the phone I cannot hear the person on three other end, and they cannot hear me. Any help be appreciated.

Maybe a local network problem...???
What's the last major thing u did to ur phone before this started happening ?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
I charged the phone. The system ROM is practically full. I need to learn how to purge the System Rom, to see if that helps.

It's not the network, I checked that last night.

Ok, I found the issue. Using Titanium Backup, I removed some not needed system files, and apps. Everything is back to normal.

What could Google possibly be using so much data for?

A couple days ago I checked my data usage and Google services alone totaled to ~12gb for a 10 day span of time. I decided to try and wipe/reflash (I'm running black bean v6) but now it's been 14 hours since i reflashed and I'm already back up to 377mb. I keep my data off unless I'm using it and I have all my Google sync turned off. Any ideas?

Potentially google now? Other than that I am not sure why that would happen

Do you sync photos? Perhaps instant upload or picasa albums?
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
I use Now and it doesn't use anything like that.
If I look at even one whole month of data usage history Google Services has only used about 5Mb - and that's cellular and wifi combined.
Do you stream media or anything ? It seems like some kind of a mistake or error to me, but maybe not.
I have Google using crazy amounts of data too. I think it has something do with Google Backup. You could try Backup off from Settings>Backup and Reset
I don't know if that solves the problem buts it's worth a shot I guess...

That's the weird thing I don't have any Google sync no photos nothing even my email is set to manual sync. I keep my data off the majority of the day. I don't use navigation services at all.
