Data Accumulates for no reason - General Questions and Answers

Don't know if right area but I need some answers about my daughter's phone, she has the SGS2X with 6gb per month allowed unlimited texting and free calls after 6pm. This is the issue, from Aug 30th to Sept 8th her data went from 54.60mbs to 8200 and when we look at the bill it shows most of the downloads are happening between 12am & 6-8am and she's asleep plus she 98% of times downloads apps at home over our wifi or a friend's so I want to know if anyone can come up with any clues for me? Just to try something, yesterday the Telus guy took out her sim card and replaced it with another than said to not download anything so that's what we're doing till Monday.
Thanks

My guess is that she has WIFI tethering on perhaps.
Put the phone in airplane mode when she sleeps, there will be no data transferred.

One question too is, u know that the ICS/4.0.3 comes with a Data watcher so won't that keep track or in reality should show the same or is this app link one more accurate?
Thanks

I found the inbuilt data manager for ICS was a pain to be configured, it would not let me input how much data I have already used, well it would but I had to scroll through each 1000mb = 1gb which is ridiculous, could not find an option to set previously used data in GB.
One more thing im running 4.1.1 so mine could be different, it was hard to set the billing cycle, flicking up and down on the touch screen, whereas the app lets you type in the dates.
My data manager would be a better option as it has extra alarms and a lot more user friendly, with different detailed views (ie the pie graph) of what you are doing with your data.
You can also keep track very easily by placing a 2x1, 3x1 or 4x1 widget on your homescreen as you can see in my pic the top left widget I have is 2x1

Has anyone heard of a SIM card being hacked or faulty cuz they took her old one out last week and the new one is not accumulating like the other at all, just exactly what she downloads off wifi so do u think the Telus store gave her a faulty card?
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium

I've never seen a faulty SIM but theoretically its possible. Try taking it back to them and trying another SIM and see if that changes anything. Also, if she turns off wifi at night on her phone, anything like Facebook, Twitter etc. Uses mobile data still for syncing.

Yeah I mentioned that above that they have her a new SIM card and using 4G for the week, it only shows the actual downloads on 4G which it should so it has to be that the other SIM was faulty so I'll get her to do as u suggest as well but now have to prove it all to Telus cuz the old SIM accumulated over 8000mbs in less than half a month
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda premium

It shouldn't be hard to prove. They can see how the data was used. If it keeps downloading on its own, have her turn off mobile data at night.

[Q] Can't Download or Send Pictures from MMS Texts

I am having a very annoying problem with my t-mobile service. My plan has three lines. I have a mt4g, my wife has a mt4g and my daughter has a mt slide. My plan has unlimited voice/text/web/android etc.... for some reason over the last few days we cannot send or receive picture mms. if we attempt to send a picture via text to anyone they receive a blank message. if someone attempts to send us pictures via text we receive the text with an icon that says "download" but when we click it nothing happens and we can't see the picture. I have taken out my sim card and placed it into my nexus one and the problem still remains. I put my sim card in an old mt3g, Samsung vibrant, and a g1 and the problem still remains. I called technical support for t-mobile and they have no clue what I am talking about and kept me on the phone for over an hour. I then drove to a t-mobile store and wasted 2 hours of my time. They gave me a new sim card and witnessed that the issue still remains. This problem is very weird and annoying. I was just curious if there is anyone else out there in t-mobile world who has also experienced this issue? They gave me a trouble ticket two days ago and still haven't been able to fix any of my lines. You would think that since this is happening on three separate phone numbers they would realize its a network issue and not my devices... HELP?
Go to Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names. Check to make sure TmobileData is selected and not TelKila. For some reason the phone switches the APN and breaks MMS.

I deleted the TelKila when i first got the phone. i'm on the correct apn as i stated it is happening on all of my phones not just the mt4g
That's been happening off and on for a few days. I just ask the person to email me the pic instead. Any phone can mms a pic to an email address, just use the email address instead of a phone#. MMS seems to be a little wonky the last week or so, about the same time the winter storms hit the south.
Try the chat with a rep option. Much more convenient.
I'm having the same thing. Sorta glad it's not my phone. I get this.

Greatest App ever! & its free!!!

Its amazing. it will give you total access to your phone and you can do anything remotely! you just login with your google account from anywhere.
If your phone gets stollen you can control anything. camera, gps, etc... even if sim card is changed
check it out!
Looks great however my concern is the fact that this is done on his web server..
What if it goes down?
What if he just decides to drop it?
What if his site is hacked?
He can technically access this stuff...Not saying he would but it sure seems like a lot of trust to put in someone you'll never know.

Thanks , unbelievable !
So fuc... insane system , you can control almost anything !
Installing this in my GTAB too !
This is one application I can never complain about.
I travelled to India around 4 months back and lost my phone when I was shopping.
I complained to the police and the cybercell about it.
I was so upset becoz I had lot personal info in the phone and ofcourse its an expensive phone too.
Then i went home and started to search the web for something like findmyphone. Then I found this app.
( I had samsungdive installed but it did not give me the location info)
Installed this OTA in my phone and started tracking my phone.
Police was then able to follow my guide and was able to locate the phone.
All this was done free.
Had I not had this app it was garunteed lost.
EDIT : the best thing is that if you have a google account with android market in your phone , u can even install it after you loose ur phone
Here's an actual link to the app (why isn't it in the OP?):

And yes, you're giving the author of the app potentially full access to all the data on your phone.
Prey is another app that is more restrained but gives you similar features to track the devices, lock it down, erase it etc. It's also free.
Also, Lookout which also has a malware scanner.
Trully, an awesome app. tried all features and it worked. My only concern now if wifi and 4g/3g internet connection is lost, the device as well cannot connect to androidlost account.

In what way is this better than the free service provided by Samsung? I would much rather trust Samsung than an anonymous (to me) developer on the interweb!
Oh, yes, and as asked earlier, what if that site gets hacked? It is a very, very tempting target!

I know. Its amazing. Today i couldnt find my phone and I got the phone to talk to me so I could locate it
I was wondering what if my phone's connections such as wifi, 3G were switched off? I've tested with my phone's wifi switched off, nothing happened. Things will be active only when my phone's connections available. So it's great but kind of nonsense.
What do you think?
Nokia 3310 -> Siemen Scorpion -> LG GL500 -> Nokia NGage -> Nokia 8850 -> Lenovo LP500 -> iPhone 2G 4Gb -> iPhone 2G 8Gb -> LG Optimus One P500 -> Dell Streak 5 -> Galaxy Note GT-N7000 -> ???
assuming who stole/found your phone will not unlink the phone from your google account or just factory resets it... And I guess this would be the firts thing anyone non-honest would do.
i still prefer cerberus, which has a cwm-installable version, making settings, etc persistent across wipes (unless someone flashes a new rom).
small one-time amount to pay for the same features as this, with more features included

Navigation stuck on searching for gps

Ok maps it locks on, GPS status app shows sats but no fix on any of them even outside. Tried flashing the sgs3 GPS fix, the Google universal fix, and still nothing. I mean it says lock in status when I open maps, and has me in the general area, but no luck with nav. I've tried restoring backups, no dice, even with fixes. Never installed an aosp Rom. So Idk what happened this weekend worked on my way to the hotel for this trip, and I go today to set it for home and it wouldn't lock on and has nav stuck in that parking lot. Even after restores, or a full wipe and new Rom install, uninstall maps, everytime I reopen nav it's still I'm that lot and I'm not even in the same town.

Please call Verizon and report your issue. I just got off the phone with Tier 2 support today and they claimed to have zero reports of this problem. I told them that I had seen "many, many reports" of this problem on XDA.
But see what I don't get us I've never had this problem until this weekend. Same Rom non-stop so Idk

Unless you are on Verizon's paid navigation app that would be a Google problem and not a Verizon problem. Server may have been down. My Google navigation works.

no fix, but says fix is on or w/e it says by the time. then here's maps loading directions fine ... but here on the nav it still has me in that hotel parking lot lol. I've even let it sit for an hour without screen off no luck. It had to be some service/file somewhere not getting wiped or something Idk. Anyways I just got back from a few hour drive so I'll be checking on this in a few hours after a nap lol. Thanks for any help anyone can dig up.

Same issue here I was testing out some new ROMs and thought it may have been a bad flash. I went back and restored 4 backups full wipes and cant get any of them to lock on including stock prior to OTA update recently.
Well it looks like it was magically fixed by Verizon. Atleast for me it did.
Fix that worked for me
I had this issue. I believe I caused it by mucking around trying to make my GPS fix faster. Symptom was simple - GPS knew where I was - just did not register any accuracy (in GPS Status) and thus would not lock. Always searching for GPS in Navigation even though it put my location as pretty much where I was. I had ClearnROM at the time but I don't think that caused it at all.
I tried Faster Fix. GPS Aides (free and paid) and a custom GPS.config file. Nothing worked. Thought for sure I was going to have to exchange the phone. so I set about doing what I would have to do.
Returned phone to bone stock via ODIN (VRALF2).
Rebooted into stock recovery and wiped/data for a clean internal SD card.
Flashed radio via ODIN (VRLF2).
Accepted VZW OTA update (30MB).
Rooted with Root Debug FS.
Put EZ-Unlock and EZ-Recovery apks on my sdcard and installed them.
Unlocked the Bootloader and booted to recovery 6.0.1 once just to verify it worked.
Whalla.
GPS locks and all it back to normal.
Your mileage may vary. I did (in the process of wipe/data for clean SD card- loose all my Titanium Backups but getting Navigation to work again was worth the hassle of rebuilding my apps from scratch.
I have no intention to put any effort into tweaking the GPS settings or file again now that it's working.

[Solved] Android OS extreme Data usage.

Hey all,
Anyone noticed any recent abnormally high background data utilisation from Android OS (both wifi and mobile?).
UK XT1032, 16GB stock unrooted Tesco firmware currently on 176.44.1. Hangouts, Migrate, Google+, Google Play Music, Google Play Movies & TV, Google Play Games, Google Play Books, & Chrome all disabled. Google Backup and Automatic Restore are on, all of the other Google Services set to Sync automatically. I use Firefox as my browser (with a sync to my laptop Firefox).
I've looked back on the data records for my phone and it looks like the problem started around the 25th of February. This roughly coincides to the last OTA to 176.44.1 which I'm pretty sure I got on the 26th or 27th. The most recent Google Play Services (4.4.43) installed on 1/3/14. The only other thing I can think of is K9 Mail which I installed on the 24th, although I'm struggling to see how a User app could show data used under Android OS.
I've checked my other half's Moto G (8GB UK version - O2 variant, stock unrooted) and she hasn't got this showing up at all. I've compared Sync/Backup settings between the two phones and they are the same, and other than Chrome she has pretty much the same stuff disabled. She doesn't use Firefox, and uses the stock email app with an exchange account.

25/2/14 to 13/3/14 - 275MB (about 16MB per day)
Possible solutions to try
1) Get rid of K9 email for a while (I use it because the stock email app appears to be incompatible with my talktalk.net ISP email account - it receives but can't send).
2) Cache Wipe in Recovery (although I'm pretty sure I've done this once since the last OTA)
3) Remove and then re add my gmail account.
4) Factory Reset.
Before I commence anyone else experiencing this problem, or even better has had the problem and solved it!
Indeed I have the same issue, the one thing I believe that fixed it was turning off Google backup but I am not sure if is a permanent fix or a fix at all, since I renabled it. Try it!
Thanks, switched off Google Backup this morning, and that seems to have sorted it. Android OS only used 336KB of mobile data over 10 hours or so. I'll try and re-enable it later and see what happens.

Bah!
Turned Google Backup back on just before bed (thinking that 6-7 hours on wifi before going to work would be enough for it to do an initial backup) and then headed for work yesterday- Android OS chewed through another 20MB of mobile data in less than 2 hours.
So a simple disable/re-enable isn't the solution. I'll think I'll go for a Factory Reset. Checked my dates again and the problem definitely coincides with the OTA to 176.44.1 - I got it on the 25th.
Issue solved. Nothing to do with the OTA after all, although the factory reset gave me a valuable clue, when I noticed one of the things restored after a factory reset was my static wallpaper.....so Google Backup and Restore backs up the wallpaper, and I've an automation app installed set up to regularly refresh my wallpaper from the gallery. I created the routines on the 24th. Doh. Backup has been uploading multiple wallpapers everyday.
Tested today with the wallpaper switcher disabled and Backup and Restore enabled - no crazy data use and even better battery life than usual. Wallpaper switcher enabled and Backup and Restore disabled all is also fine. Both enabled gives crazy Android OS data use and noticeably more battery drain.

Never heard of anything like this and it's most likely something else causing it (i.e. not 4.4.3, maybe a rogue app).

You could start with anti viruses and alike... or see what processes are running through adb / shell when the message shows up.
Connect the android to your computer running a live logcat and see what happens when that creepy smile shows up.
It's weird, never saw anything like that before, seems like from one moment to another will jump our of the screen and start hacking and slashing :b
Lol it's a 3rd party app. That you can be 100% sure of. If you were to boot your phone into safe mode it would stop happening.

Strange indeed. Could it be a network message of some sort? Though I haven't heard of it before, it's possible that it is a network connection acknowledgment of some sort.
here are my findings..
current network: TELCEL (mexico)
smiley appearing after loosing and regaining signal (doesnt matter if it has data enabled or not)
apparently theres a sim toolkit in every sim from TELCEL, i thought that it might be the main issue (toolkit is some services the network provider has )
current solution: changed runtime from dalvik to ART, has been almost 24 hrs without that smiley... just fyi
