Major Data Issues - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Why in the heck does this keep happening!!!! Almost 2.5 gigs in one hour?
What am I doing to have this keep happening? Anyone?
I have picasa unsynced. Running tw ROM.
Thanks for any help

How on earth us this even possible??

Scroll down and see what it is that using the data. It tells you right under the usage graph what apps are doing what. It could be any number of things but more than likely either a download or some sort of streaming. The only thing that runs up data more than that is doing speed tests.
Also, did you recently change your plan or upgrade your phone?

Edit. I missed the picasa part.

Chrome appears to be the culprit.
Wtf?

Check under accounts in the settings menu to make sure that nothing else is syncing that you're unaware of. Such as Facebook, other Google services, ect. Something else has to be causing this. 27 mb is nothing. There is 1012 mb in a GB. If you have used 3 GB that around 3000 mb. That kind of usage is usually caused by extreme uploads, downloads, Pandora, you tube, speed tests, OTA updates or in particular, tethering.
Is this a new phone?

I think I know what caused it. I downloaded a new rom via Chrome browser and the download took nearly 5 hours. Must have just killed data.
Crazy

That's a good possibility although it should only be one gig or so. I don't mean to insult your intelligence by saying this next statement but I figured I'd just throw it out there in case you didn't know. When you're on wifi you do not use any mobile data. You probably already know this but I sold cell phones for a couple months and you'd be shocked to know how many people don't know this. Hope it helps.

No offense taken. I did know that but I had no clue it would eat this much data. I usually download over wifi but today chose to do so over 4g. I think that answers the question.
Thanks for the response

No problem sir. Yeah, TW ROMs are friggin HUGE! Like damn near a gig. It always amazed me how AOSP ROMs are about 200 mb vs Tw being 800 approx. Happy flashing!!

How do I thank posts?

Thanks to xda I've done virtually everything to my 11 month old Infuse...as a matter of fact the only thing I'm yet to do is hardbrick.
Whenever I ran into problems I simply read through the forums, googled, and trialed and errored till I figured it out...the only thing that has however got me beaten is how to thank useful posts...and there have been thousands of them..
So please help me..

There is a thanks feature for that. Posting nonesense to get to your 10 post will only work against you.

I guess you are using tapatalk og xda-app, hence the "sent from my..." All you have to do is to tap the post you want to thank, and a little menu bar appears. From here you can select "thanks" (the flower icon).
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
I can almost swear the thanks button never showed up before...but I think that was more as a result of the fact that I hung out more in the dev thread..apparently I never tried thanking anybody in the other threads...
...and nope I care not for post count....if I did, I woulda asked about the other tons of issues I have had in the past...like when I couldn't heimdall (due to multiple versions of Java on my PC) or when I bootlooped on ics after flashing ics gapps.... among others.
Thanks anyway.

Just so you know. Some people did the same to get the extra storage from the galaxy s3 app and dropbox just found out and banned them.

I heard about some users getting the promotion removed from their account, and being flagged. I never read anything about just being banned.
Greeaaaattt!!!!!!
After logging in with my samsung tab 10.1, htc amaze, and one s, i now have 85Gb of free space!
Just to let you know, I have just tried to sync some music from my pc to my dropbox and it said that it was unable to sync.
When I looked at my dropbox storage, it says that I have used 126% of my 27gb storage!
When I had my galaxy s vibrant used these hacks sucessfully and used the space just fine. At some point though I think dropbox did a sweep of accounts and my space dropped back down to a non premium amount of space.
After I got my one s, I had trouble activating my 23 gb of free space , and after a couple emails with dropbox tech support , they informed me that they were aware of my abuse of their system but they still hooked my 23gb up within 24 hours. Just sayin.

No banned but promotion has been removed from my account...
I hope you guys realize that this is actually considered fraud. The 48 GB promotion was only for specific phones.
Seems Dropbox did do a sweep, they've removed my promo space too. (I still have my original space still.) Compared to before they've gotten better at figuring out these type of tricks.
Maybe a mod should just close this thread instead.

Goodbye Skyrocketeers!

Just wanted to say it was a pleasure owning a Skyrocket and although I may not have participated much directly, I read the forums every single day. Sadly on Friday, my Skyrocket fell out of my pocket and in the 20-30 seconds it took me to notice, someone had picked it up and swiped it. Since the Skyrocket and the S3 are priced the same with my provider, I decided to upgrade (totally debatable!).
So, I'll still be around XDA and will probably still read the Skyrocket forums at times, but I wanted to say thank you to all the developers on this side and please keep up the good work! The Skyrocket is one of the best Galaxy's I've owned and I'm sure it'll be around for a lot longer than most with this community!
Thanks again to everyone!

When you get your S3, install Cerebrus on it. Best theft protection app ever, I downloaded it and practically want someone to steal my phone so I can kick their ass with it.
Be easy
bye bye :good:
Too bad people can't have the decency to say "hey did someone drop their phone" because they are to busy putting it in their pocket and running away.
Anyway, enjoy the S3.

I agree. I did kind of screw myself over though. I was in such a panic I ran home and changed my passwords since the phone is logged into everything, and THEN I realized I could have used several tools to track the phone by installing through Google Play. So sadly I locked myself out in a panic and didn't get a chance to track it. Oh well, you live and you learn! Karma will have her way with whoever took it

I installed Where's My Droid on my phone so I could track it with just a text message. I actually did it after getting a phone call from a mechanic who had dropped his phone accidentally in my wife's car (unnoticed by him or me at the time) and a similar app (which I later found out was Plan B) tracked it to my address and he called me.
I was only too happy to return the phone to him the following day. I was actually impressed with the fact that the app tracked the phone to my garage.
Sorry you lost your phone, though. That's a bummer.

That's exactly what I was going to do, use Plan B. However, I panicked and changed my Google password before I tried to push the app lol. So I literally blocked myself.

I got the s3. Not really an upgrade in my opinion. Couple hours better battery life. Extra speed is unnoticeable if your skyrocket is tweaked correctly

So Tapatalk 4 is out and Im on the fence about it. .99c is a killer deal however when I took a look at the reviews it was really mixed. A lot of people say it isnt loading forums/topics quickly. However it still has a 4.3 star overall rating. I did purchase the app and tried it for a few minutes to discover similar issues. (Im running the beta / 3rd version now). It did look a lot different then the beta though. Has anyone else tried it? What are your thoughts? Do you feel its slower than the beta?
I just bought it myself and truthfully I don't see much difference than the public release version.. :S not having the problems others are on the reviews but I'm on WiFi :<
