Weird Data Usage? - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

Please see screenshot.
Does anyone know why Phone app would be using data? And what exactly is HTC Apps? My best guess is weather etc but not sure.

It might be for your contacts stored online. Do you have pictures for your contacts?

When you click on the app do you get any details?
I don't see phone in the ICS native data manager, but I do see it with the app I use: my data manager, but it won't give me detail on the usage.
The only thing I can think of is Facebook syncing. It pulls status messages down etc.

Nah there's no real info when I click it. But I think you might be right about the Facebook syncing, that's a he'll of a lot of data (70mb) in a few days though!

When I checked my Wi-Fi usage it had almost twice the amount for phone.
I turned off "live feed" and calendar sync in my Facebook account settings. I'll see if than makes any difference.

Yeah I'll do that too, thanks for your help man.

What's the deal with the refresh status icon

It seems to just show up and it will stay until I reboot. Kind of annoying. It does work right when I'm refreshing Facebook or whatever, the icon will show up than disappear but other times I wont even be using my phone, ill pick it up, unlock it, and the icon will be there.

Its your phone syncing to something I.e. facebook, mail or any other type of account.

I figured it was something like that but man, the icon seems to never away unless I reboot. Thanks.

well it could be that whatever is syncing/refreshing is syncing all the time (which is gonna drain battery) or is broken (and may also drain battery...though it could just accidentally lave the symbol up)
you might want to find out what's going on.
Go to your accounts and the account that is syncing will have a spinning sync symbol.

how many accounts to do you have sync'd to the phone? gmail, facebook, sense (etc)
and do you have the networks and locations all checked, for navigation etc.
I Didnt have the VZW location checked just standalone and Google I took standalone off and checked VZW is that right or should I have all 3??
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
You can use whatever you want. I leave google location services enabled and then I enable standalone gps whenever I need it (ie. Navigation, maps, etc.)
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
Ok so I can turn the vzw one off to?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
you can turn them all off, just back on if you need navigation.
Oooo ok thanks!

pretty sure that shouldnt be draining the battery like that. check the accounts that are set to sync on your phone (gmail, facebook) and see the interval that each is set to refresh.
It was set to 1hr I switched it to 4 maybe that should help

And my weather was set at 15mins switched it to 2 he's

so all you have syncing is gmail and weather?
I had to turn everything off, message stopped.

Picasa constantly syncing when there is nothing to sync

I've noticed the last few days and it bugs me. I hardly have anything in picasa and nothing had changed so wtf is synchronizing?
This happens on two phones, same google account, both on cm7 nightly builds. One is a Vibrant and the other is my glacier.
Any ideas?

Because it has to sync, even if there is nothing there; the point is that they are syncronised, the same, even if they have nothing there.
Just disable it if you don't use it

It's not a quick sync that disappears, it's an ongoing sync that lasts hella long.

But can't you disable it at all? Through the settings?

Ah, I took "hardly anything" as nothing xD My bad...!
Have you tried disabling and re-enabling Picasa from your phone? Basic thing I know, but this has worked for me in the past

Stock Contacts on CM9

Hi,
I'm using a CM9 Nightly. I really like how the phone behaves now, but something I really miss from the stock HTC software, was how it integrated my Facebook contacts into my phone's contacts. It synced all the contact details from my friends, and made it available for offline viewing.
I've tried the official Facebook app. No joy. No additions to my phone's contacts at all. Even with contact sync turned on for that acc.
I've tried Friendcaster, that synced the names of my friends to my phone book, but no contact details for offline viewing?
The stock "People" on the stock HTC ROM had a great way of doing this.
Any clues?

[Q] productivity screen. SMS not working anymore?

Hey,
As mentioned. In my productivity lock screen the message feature for my sms stopped working since the last time I changed the background picture. I changed it since then several times but it doesn't help...
Any ideas?
I'm on stock rom with sense 4+ and android 4.1
Any help would be appreciated!
Cheers

I guess you either have to clear the cache of the sms app or the cache of any lockscreen-related app. Take a look in the app list and clear the cache of what seems the most related to the lockscreen.
Cache cleaning didn't work...
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
What do you get exactly in the lockscreen? No sms or nothing at all (email,. lost calls, etc)?
No just the SMS. Mail, weather etc everything works...

You probably did this but, have you checked the productivity lockscreen options? There you can choose what must be displayed, sms included.
Yeah that's the reason I'm writing. It just stopped working even though checked in the option list. Don't know what it could be
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
There is also an option in the sms app options. I just noticed this. It should be on by default, though.
Thank you!!! That was it
