Ok, I am running the latest release of the H57 ROM on EE19. I love the ROM but have been having some issues sense flashing. I was running this ROM before EE19 with no issues and now again sense the upgrade. I have been getting horrid battery life, loosing 15 to 20% per hour. I finally figured out that the phone is transmitting data constantly. I used 10% of my 5gb data plan in just a few days. I just reflashed the ROM and within an hour I uploaded 1% of my 5gb limit of some data but don't have a clue as to what it is doing. I fully charged the battery, wiped the battery data and locked the phone. In two hours sitting on my night stand with the screen off and no use I lost 25% of my battery and my 3g monitor said uploaded another 1% of my 5gb limit for the month. If anybody has any ideas I need some help. At this rate I have to keep the phone on a charger all times or it is worthless.
Ok, I did a full EE19 flash in Odin, Odined CWM 2.5 and booted into recovery. Flashed Blue Heinz 57 CWM, Flashed Heinz 57 V6/6/11, Flashed 6611 Heinz 57 Ultimate Honecomb V0.2, Enabled Lagfix. I will report back on the results this afternoon. Thanks for the help.
Looks like a no go again. In the past 45min I lost 16% battery and it has uploaded 30mb of something. I really am lost, I can't use this phone with mobile data enabled unless I am plugged into a charger and it is chewing up my data limit very quickly...anybody have a thought?

I rebooted and looked under Task Manager and the only active application is Mr. Home. What could be running that is uploading all this data and killing the battery?
I downloaded 3g Watchdog Pro and found that the email application is responsible for 99% of the data being uploaded. I deleted both my Hotmail account and my work exchange account and will see if that made a difference. If so does anybody have a different email program they would recommend?
I will try and watch my data usage with 3g watchdog. Using the free version. Unless there is benefit with the pro version. I'll report back tonight.
Installed watchdog around 2:00pm. 4.76MB received, 1.18MB sent, total of 5.94MB in 5.5 hours.
I only have my gmail account that is active. Some XDA usage today.
Seems a little heavy. I set my data at 4GB limit even though it is 5GB. At this point I've used
0.1% of the data plan.
Battery has been running around 6%/hr.

Looks like it is defiantly my work exchange account doing the damage. I added my other email accounts and the phone operated as normal. I added my exchange account and changed from push to sync every 15min and in two hours I lost 40% battery and watchdog showed I uploaded 30mb of data. I am bummed because I use my work calendar all the time and it is the main reason I got a smart phone.
Has there been any better battery life with a different kernel?
I'm trying pb&j @ minus 50mv.

I have run this setup for several months with different Kernels and Roms. It was running fine until last last week when this gremlin popped it's head up.
I was systematically eliminating scenarios to try and figure this issue out. I deleted all email accounts off the phone. Talked with the IS guy at work and he looked my phone up on the mail server. Some how there were six instances of my phone on the server so he killed them all. I went into my contacts in Outlook and I had close to 100 copies of every contact there. We think it was constantly pushing contact data to the mail server in the form of contact backups. I have reinstalled all my email accounts on the phone and synced the contacts with my work account. I then disabled contact syncing with that account. It has been a few hours but all seems right in the universe again.
That is good news! I've been watching my data usage and it has been avg around 10mb/day.
I flashed back to pnp ee19 just to verify my data usage.
I think I'm going back to H57 tonight. Thanks for your update!

I was just on the market and I saw that there is an update for the t Mobile My Account app. Has anybody installed this yet? I'm wondering if this fixes the WiFi issue I had with the 5.6 update freezing DNS which is the reason why I rooted my G2X. I'm also hesitant because I currently have the my account frozen.

I typically try to avoid T-Mobile software like the plague... no convenience is worth having their programming gum up my phone.
I'll remain hopeful though that T-mobile will start getting their act together starting with updating their apps and fixing them proper. Despite my angst against the topic I'm still curious regardless.
My wife's s4g got it last night but not on my g2x
I downloaded it last night. It is still a buggy mess. It takes forever to sync with Tmo and half the features do not work. Billing and Plan still do not sync. It just gives a message to call to get the info after about five minutes of doing nothing.
Activity/data used does work which is nice for those stuck on the 2g plan.
Still a horrible app...Delete.

It is even buggier than before, I might try restoring the old version
Well I'm glad I didn't update
Based upon the results so far I'm glad I left that update alone.
Uninstalled. That thing sucks. How hard is it for a company the size of TMo to build a half decent app?
I had to uninstall updates then reinstall and reboot. After all that mine syncs all fields just fine and I find it to be a great resource to monitor my usage since no matter what 3g watchdog says, T-Mobile will be throtling me for what they see pass-through for data. Its also super easy to pay my bill with.

I didn't even have to do that; I just updated it in the market and it all just works fine for me. (I don't use it very often and didn't immediately open it after the update, so it's probable that I did have a reboot in there somewhere between the update and the first time I used it.)
dunno why u guys are having so much trouble with it. works fine for me even before the update
All day i have not had data. It all started this morning when i tried to start barnacle to tether with the laptop. and as soon as i clicked start the data dropped and hasnt been back on ever since. I dont know if thats related but i figured id mention it considering ive used barnacle several times over the past week.
Im running GummyCharged GBE RC 2.3
Have been running it perfectly fine for about two weeks i think.
Any help would be appreciated. i talked to verizon and went through all their BS troubleshooting techniques.
BTW i have also tried wiping the phone and odin'd a fresh copy of GC FE 1.9.1 and still no data and then back to the GBE and once again still no data.
Happened to me, but on Gummy 2.0. After reflashing the EP1Q modems to no avail, I restored to stock. Went to Verizon today, guy looks at all the settings, everything was how it should be. All of a sudden data pops up and started working. So phones are like cars, take it to get fixed and the issue stops.
I'd suggest messing/toggling all the data settings on the phone and see if it will pop up. I wish I knew a solution, but it fixe itself.
Ditto. Have been dropping data all afternoon.
well if i dont have any tomorrow ill flash stock and take it to vzw
No issues with data here.

Tell me about it. Data drops, gps and bluetooth are dodgy, hdmi doesn't work, missing text messages (due to data drops), random restarts. I think I'm going to attempt to pull a fascinate and get the bionic when, er, if it's released.
im not having a data dropping issue. i havent had data AT ALL for 12 hours now

Great so it's not just me, I thought my phone's wifi/data was acting up after turning off wifi tether. The wifi would be on but data would run at the same time, was really odd and heated up my phone until i rebooted it
Been having data issues all day and I use no tethering app. Running humble 1.42. Now I can just get 3g even though I always get 4g at home. Network issues?

I run the eclipse rom, and have not had data since at least 6:30 of the 30th...I however took my 4g card out of my charge and put it in my thunderbolt and have had no issues getting any sort of data at all...... well thats funny. Data just came back to my charge just now (i had just put the card back in 10 minutes ago to see if the issue was resolved). do people still have data issues on the charge?
Happened to me running full stock not rooted. Took it to verizon and they changed the sim card. Works fine now. Maybe that's the same problem you are having. I couldn't connect to 3g or 4g. Only wifi

I've had my charge since August and haven't had any issue with it since day 1 (that's because i rooted it day1). On occasion i would have issues after being on wifi all day or something, but a simple reboot or toggle of Cdma/LTE button would fix it but Saturday I experience a complete data outage. What was odd is that i could get 4g when driving on the highway but in non 4g areas i had zero data. Full signal just no 3G or 1x icon. I re-rooted using the new modem EP1W no luck...24 hours and i had nothing. Finally i went online and switched my phone back to my old droid....then back to my charge. After 30min i had data back. The new ROM was working Excellent (blackhat EP1W debloated) then today...same issue is back.
Does anyone know how to fix this issue or what is causing it? is it my sim card?
I've been through 3 replacements and 4 sim cards, even ran my phone in safe mode for 3 days and had constant loss of data.

Are you by chance using wifi tether 3.1? If so uninstall and use 3.0 pre 12. I had the same issue till i downgrade to 3.0 pre12. select fascinate then master tap in settings. No issues at all any more. i can turn on and off wifi tethering without having to reboot after everytime i use or get done using the app.
No Data here...
This thread is a little old, but has anyone found out why this is happening? I have my Charge rooted running GummyCharge 2.0 FE and on Oct 6 lost all data. I ended up switching back to stock and took it to Verizon for a new SIM and it has worked since. Until last night. Both mine and my husband's lost data. Mine came back this morning but he still has none but has gotten some 4G randomly. His is also rooted... Really would prefer to avoid doing the same to his... took hours to get mine just right again... Also, we got ours back in June. From what I read we seem to be lucky ours lasted...

You gotta remember what they say about the vocal minority. People who are happy aren't going to be nearly as apt to post about their good experiences as those who have bad experiences are to post about theirs. I admit to being as guilty of this as anyone. I think if you took a scientific poll (as opposed to a self-selected one), you'd see that 99.9% of people who root or flash have had no data issues related to it, and the only reason the number seems high in here is that you're only seeing people who had problems try to figure them out, rather than those of us who haven't had any trouble and don't have anything constructive to add to the discussion.
EDIT: The fact that you both lost data at the same time points to a network issue, not a rom issue.
it took me about 4 months to burn out my original sim, just replaced it a few days ago
Both my fassy and my DC have been dropping data since yesterday. My DC starts out with 4G then to 3G then 1X and then no data at all.

Hey anon so it finally did happen to u personally eh? Never say never! Hehe.. funny how one gets lazy until it actually happens to them.
TBH I'm guilty of this myself as I've been reluctant to remove it when flashing as well since ive been lucky thus far.. *knock on wood* maybe its about that time haha..

The last few weeks my skyrocket has been eating through a tremendous amount of data even on days where I would hardly use it, I can't get to the bottom of it and I swear I've tried everything. Each day on average it goes through about 500 MB of data, I don't have syncing turned on, I've cleared the ram and active processes several times, even turned the phone off and on with no luck. I tried using the systempanel app to see what exactly is running and the only thing out of the ordinary I would think is the 'device management' process. My only guess is that it's trying to download the ota 2.3.6 update (currently on 2.3.5, not rooted), but since when I try to update it fails at 75%, it's constantly re-downloading and trying to update?? I still have the unlimited at&t plan so usage isn't the biggest concern, but it's absolutely destroying my battery life, 1% every 8 minutes with it just sitting in my pocket with no apps running.
Try disabling autosync first, could be a screwup with the new gmail update
How exactly do u know how much data u are using a day, watchdog?
Install onavo to see what's eating data.

I second that. I installed it on mine because my data usage seemed a little off even after I stopped streaming audio on a daily basis to the phone. If nothing else it's a bit of an eye opener to what uses how much data, and you can see if something is hogging data that you don't want.

I have already had autosync disabled since before this started happening so I don't think it could be an issue there.
I follow how much data I use by dialing *DATA# (*3282#) and I get a text saying. I've been doing this a couple times a day since receiving those "your data usage is among the top 5%" texts, and with how little I've been using my phone lately I knew something was up.
With no apps running, I'll occasionally see the data waves on the 4G logo moving for at least 30 seconds.
Also, I've come to the conclusion that it's not processor usage that is killing my battery because when I toggle the data off, I get great battery life. 1% every hour and 20 minutes.

I run Juice Defender Ultimate and have it set to custom and have it set to warn me when apps try to use data(it will ask on the first time if I want to enable/disable/nothing access) It will also shut down the data when the screen is off unless I specifically set an app for it.
It has helped me manage data and power consumption greatly.
3G watchdog will tell you which app / process is using the data connection.
Use a program called droidwall. By default it will block all data connections until u specify what to allow
I accidentally broke my Samsung last week so went back to my Inspire, good phone never had problems with it before. However I noticed that the Inspire's battery drained really fast now, where I'd have to charge it twice a day even if I barely used it. I assumed the phone was old and I just needed to replace the battery. Then a couple days ago I got a text from AT&T saying I had almost reached my 2GB monthly data cap (never even used over 300MB before) so I checked the AT&T data usage site and apparently every day my phone has been sending huge data files in the 30-60MB range multiple times a day.
I don't even know what these files could be because I haven't even downloaded any files that large. Phone is NOT rooted. Aside from updating Angry Birds, I haven't installed any new apps or added any new accounts lately, everything is exactly the same as it has always been. Restarted the phone a couple times to see if it was a fluke but didn't help. Had to completely disable mobile data for now.
Any idea what could be causing this? Any way to check exactly what files/data are being sent?
Check what has been using your battery up. In about phone-> battery. Whatever it is should show up there.

Cell standby, Phone idle, and Display are the top 3 things. Everything else is barely using anything.

What I would do is completely wipe the device and start over. I really can't think of anything off the top of my head that would send that much data. It's possible its just bugging out and the Qualcomm snooper program is staying constantly active or something along those lines. Or you could uninstall everything and see if it goes away and then reinstall stuff slowly and see if you can pin it down to one app. That is a lot of data though. Not to cause alarm but you might also want to check the possibly of some sort of hack or virus that may have infected your device.

Yeah that might be the best thing to do (just wipe it all and start over), shouldn't be too hard to import my mail settings and contacts, that's all I really need.
How do you check for hacks/viruses?
I hard reset the phone, however when I synced my contacts back after it automatically re-downloaded all of my apps for some reason. High data usage is still there. So either it's a problem with an app, or the phone itself is just messed up. The battery usage only shows cell standby and dialer using it up and it won't show which apps are using the battery for some reason.

This is the HTC Inspire 4G forums. I would strongly recommend that you post in the Galaxy S2 forums. They will know how to answer your question better than us users of another phone.
Today, I downloaded an app called Swype Keyboard. It has worked fine with all my friends phones, but for some reason as soon as I downloaded that app, my data shot up 1000% more. I went through about 2GB of data in under 15 minutes. When I go to check out my data statistics, the major part of it is Android OS. It is saying that it is using 500MB (.5GB) of data, when normally, it is at the bottom with barely any data usage. I have no idea what is wrong and why my data shot up that much.
Everytime I went back and checked my data (every 2 mins) it would shoot up about .1GB. As soon as I uninstalled that app, it started getting slower, but it has still gone up a lot.
I was wondering if anyone knew what was wrong. I'm really hoping it wasn't the app because I really enjoy that app and wish that it is another problem.
Rooted and running CM10 (RC 4) if that helps.
Thanks!
CM10.1 reports data usage incorrectly.
Yup, RC 4 (I think) has a math calculation error in the OS itself. So you didn't use that much I assure you, the next RC fixed the problem
