Android constant data traffic

Hi.
I recently bought Xperia X10.
Yesterday i downloaded a network monitor from market and in the morning i had 12Mb traffic
Today i disabled google sync, facebook and twitter updates, removed the weather widget from screen and i still see constant traffic.
Coming from Nokia 5800 XM, i had always a warning every time an app tried to connect to internet.
Android has something like this?
Or a way to see which app is connecting to internet?
X10 is not rooted yet so, i can't use any (iptables based... if something like this exists) firewall ...
Thanks

Install APNdroid from the Market. That should solve the problem.

It won't.
The idea is to have access to the internet but i want to know which apps are accessing the internet and allow/deny them.
I don't want to block all the traffic

I use apndroid too. Because there is not actually a app with can deny the dataconnection for apps.
I know you problem. But i have set the config, when i activate the connection my apps (mail) will automticaly update.

In HTC Sense there's a widget to turn data trafic on/off

Where is this widget that you are talking about to turn on and off only data?? cant find it on my HTC Desire.

turning off all data DOESN'T help because will stop all the updates and sync.

@ tuxStyle
which stats-counter are you using?
It's the same on my SGS2.
I'm using Call Meter 3G (beta) and after every reboot I have 12MB more on my stats.
Now I don't know if this traffic was really a download-traffic or CM3G just count 12MB + on every reboot because of a bug???
Did you test another stats-counter?
I've also tried to disable as much as possible with autostarts to fix this but I couldn't.
But the stange thing is if I reboot in the flight-mode (so you dont't have to enter a pin) it's the same --> so I guss it's a bug?
Any solution or ideas??

Edit:
I tested Call Meter 3G (beta) and DroidStats together and it seems like CM3G is buggy because DS don't add 12MB + after a reboot.
So let's hope the developer will fix it...

Another thing you could do is to compare that app's reported stats to the stats you get from your carrier (One place you can find the carriers stats is in the carrier web site).

[Q] did any find a fix for wifi and 4g running at the same time.

if u have wifi turned on it only shows the wifi icon but as soon as u log in to market the 4g icon pops up. i know i saw a thread about this last nite but for some reason now i can find it. (smh wonder if i was dreaming)

I just uncheck Data enabled under mobile network settings, but there are a couple threads:

The making sure you sign into the account in the beginning and don't skip didn't work to well for me. I haven't removed myaccount yet.

Location service doesn't work over wifi?

Think title says it all.
running lbc rom
My location service functions correctly , can detect where I am , therefore downloads and displays the weather when I'm out on mobile daya connection but when I'm at hone on wifi connection it always fails.
Just want to know if I'm alone or is this the case for everyone and is there anything I can do to fix it.

How strange....
tried all those clear caches butr no difference noticed
When I try on wi-fi I get the error "Unable to connect to the location service to update your current location"
that's after clicking on the weather feature in the main Sense clock and refreshing when the weather app loads.

I also get the notification "Unable to connect to the location service to update your current location"...
But after some restarts or connect/disconnect to the mobile net, the location can be get...
... Orz...This is the so-called INTERESTING ...

My experience is:
HTC Sensation (GB 2.3.4 and now ICS 4.0.3stock-same situation on both):
Slovak localization on Android:
3G internet: OK
wifi: "Unable to connect to the location service to update your current location" and weather shows "Actual location" instead of my town
English localization on Android:
3G internet: OK
wifi: OK
Strange

Weather Widget Not Showing Current Location...

Over the last week or so the Weather widget and app show my Current Location to be 'United Kingdom' rather than the city I am in.
I have tried refreshing many times, updated location on Google Maps and even reflashed my rom but still no luck. Has anyone had this problem and know a fix for it?
Many thanks.

Have you already clear data from Google Maps, Clock Widget, Weather, HTC weather sync provider and Weather Provider? After you delete all of these data, then try to update your location in google map by GPS and mobile data.

Tried everything suggestd but still no luck. Added the clock widget from Beautiful Widgets to see if this would make any difference but this widget just says "Null" instead of "United Kingdom"

Did Google map detect your location while using GPS and mobile data?

Yes Google Maps shows my exact location with no problems (GPS and Mobile Data).
Ive done what invisiblebm has done and change the weather provider to Google in BW and now the widget is fine but it still shows UK on the weather lock screen

I'm having the same problem and I've done all the above steps too.
If you open the htc weather app and press more details online, it will load the web browser with correct location.
Therefore, I think the problem is kernel/rom related.
Btw, I'm running the Virtuous Rom with the 1.6 beta6 Brick kernel.

Since ARHD 4.1.7+Bricked v1.5 I have ever got the same problem too, but after I tried a solution from above reply that I have wrote.It's works fine for me.

I think you may be right. This only started happening to me when I moved from ARHD 3.6x to ARHD 4.1x. Is Virtuous Rom with Sense 3.5?
Im wondering if the problem is Sense 3.5 releated?

No it uses Sense 3.0
I'm going to try stock kernel and see if it makes any difference.

Did you changed the weather provider from BW not from any HTC weather app?

Think it may be more Rom related that Kernel. Ive been using Bricked 1.5 for a while now and it always use to work.
Please report back though if you find stock fixes it. Does yours always show the country or does it sometimes report the correct city? Mine seems to be very intermittent...

Now this is really strange. I've tried this on both stock and bricked kernel.
I followed all the steps in post 2. I had to go outside to get gps signal in google maps, and it showed the correct location in weather widget.
However, when i go back inside, the location is back to United Kingdom. It seems as though a constant gps signal is required in the background.
This was never the case on the stock rom.

I only changed the weather provider in BW. As far as im aware you cannot change it for the HTC app.

Something very weird is going on. Im at work at the moment and it's showing the correct location but I know as soon as I get home tonight it will change back to United Kingdom. Perhaps its a problem with Accuweather?
If it is rom related then I guess the only way to test this theory is to go back to stock and see if this makes any difference.

Spoke to soon......just changed back to United Kingdom after a refresh!

Think I may be getting somewhere here.
With WiFi connected weather shows as United Kingdom - with WiFi disconnected weather shows correct location.
Can someone else test this to make sure...

I do have a nand backup of the stock rom which came with the phone. Contemplating whether to give it a try!
EDIT:
Just saw your post now. When you disconnect the WIFI is your data connection then turned on?

Yes once WiFi is disconnected the mobile data comes back and correct location is shown.

Yea the same happens with me, with the data connection it reports correct location.

How strange. I cant say I have ever noticed this before - Im sure I would have as I use WiFi all the time so I wonder if it is a recent bug.
Well at least we got to the bottom of it!

I've done that i've pretty much tired everything. i know its not a gps problem cuz my navigation works fine and it shows im locked to 11 satellites.. i guess i will have to use wireless network connections untill i can figure it out.

HD Widgets works 100%. I had same problem with Go weather on ICS.

Another app you could try is be weather, it has some good, configurable widgets and nice full screen video in the main app. Also tracks your location. Am using with virtuous 1.3 ics.

thanks for the tips i went with HD Widgets and it works fine i disconnected wireless networks and just left gps on and it works. ill be closing this thread now thank you guys
