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

Anyone have any idea why my inspire would be using massive amounts of data on its own? Its completely stock on 2.3.3, nothing is set to sync or update on its own. Would rooting it and putting a new rom on it possibly fix things?

All ROMs will do the same. Sense ROMs will have the most by default running in the background. If you want to see what is using data on your phone then install an app from the market called "My Data Manager". There is a free version. It will tell you what is using the internet and how much each service or app is using. You can set it up with your billing period so you will know how much you used and have left on your plan each month.
something has caused it to use 400mb's in 6 days while on wifi about 85-90% of that time
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.
same issue

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.
I have had the Sprint HTC EVO 4g LTE for about 4 months. It's a great phone but I doubt I'll see LTE for quite some time as I'm in a high tourist area where the population explodes over 10x in the summer months then backs down to just the locals in the off season (Myrtle Beach). They wheel in a half dozen COWs for the peak season.
My first EVO phone would not connect data (1 day old) and was replaced then next day. The second phone I rooted via RegawMOD EVO 4G LTE Rooter x64 prior to the first update and after 5 weeks it was replaced due to boot loop. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1800686) Performance was great until it would not boot. (replaced by Bestbuy as "Junked Out", showed Tampered", "Unlocked")
I'm on my 3rd phone, about 2 months old, kept completely stock but noticed within the last week or so an annoying slow down. It seems that anytime I either close an app or switch to the home page I see the "LOADING..." icon for up to 30-45 seconds before displaying a desktop screen. (Multi-task switching seems okay but slower). It's become quite a pain as the performance seems to have degraded quite a bit. Also when clicking on web URLs I often get 3/4 page loaded when it dumps me back to a desktop screen. (How rude!!) Using stock browser.
I have not allowed any automatic OTA updates hoping to root again when methods have become reliable to do so.
I've checked RAM and I typically have 1.5gb free, local phone storage (10gb) shows 9.7gb free and external (32gb sdcard) with 20.5gb free so I can't see any system resources as a problem.
Is there an app that can debug the file system to determine the reason for this behavior? It has to be the operating system as the problem? I know if I re-root the phone it will rebuild the OS and file system but I'm nervous about the Bestbuy maintenance plan.
Is there any app that can report detail what is causing the slow switching?

I was hoping for an app that would show me what application is slowing me down. I'd hate to have to start all over again...
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
Sometimes there are runaway processes, but Android has a built in task killer which you can use to find any apps that are using too much RAM (however you did say RAM wasn't an issue so I don't think that would help)
I don't think an application is the cause of the slowdown. Maybe a memory leak?
Sent from my DROID2 using xda premium
What's with the internal storage part, that is only used for System-Apps. Maybe this is full, or almost full?
You could try the app "SD-Maid" but it requires root.
I also think a factory reset is the best idea. While a stock ROM is not always...
The only thing I can think of is that I was installing a different browsers I install Chrome and Firefox and they didn't have a any better performance than the stock browser so I uninstalled them..
It's annoying to wait 30-40 seconds waiting for a cached home screen to reload.. everytime...
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app
You might try aLogcat. Let it run while the phone lags, then read the log and see if you can figure out what's causing the lag.
Sudden loss of performace
So none of the logging APPs were of any help to me....(I wouldn't know what to look for...) Benchmark tests didn't show any substantial performance loss so the hardware is good.
Unable to stand watching the "Loading...." message for 30-45 seconds every time I went to home was so annoying that I hit the factory reset. Performance has returned to super fast... the same as brand new. I had also installed Chrome and Firefox but uninstalled them because Chrome (no flash support) and Firefox just not ready for mobile. URL box disappeared from stock browser so I had to do the reset.

I'd sooner bet on some app going wild.
My first post here. I've been lurking and learning for a year or more and this is the most knowledgeable place I know of.
I have the att version of this tablet and I am having serious crashing issues. I can use an app for about 20 minutes or so and it will blue screen and restart itself. After it happens once it will do it every few minutes until I leave it alone for a while. Sometimes I need to hard restart it and sometimes it will restart on its own but the screen doesn't come on. Only sound. As far as I can tell it's not overheating and this will happen even if I install nothing from the play store and just use the factory apps.
I have reset to factory many times and reinstalled the firmware with kies and that didn't help. I have returned the tablet to att for a replacement and I have the same problem with the replacement. I'm past the 14 days now and would need to return to Samsung but I don't want to do that if there is something I can do on my own.
Anyone else having these issues or can point me in the right direction to fix this?

I am sad to say that I am experiencing the same issue. I have noticed that I experience the issue more when playing games and / or when there is a lag in data transfer in an application. I can tell this usually when playing a game that is synchronized with the server I will experience the blue screen of death and when I restart and load the game again the game is several moves behind where I actually was. I usually don't experience this error in a lot of other applications especially word processing applications, but I have noticed that it is an issue. I assume its software related, and though it is frustrating, I'm glad to know I'm not the only one.
For a short time I thought that it was related to frequent use of the touchscreen, but I'm not sure that this is true. I don't feel like mine restarts once every 20 minutes.
Sadly I have not found a solution to the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If anyone needs any logs or system information; if you can tell me how to send it I would gladly send it.

Yes. It is very nice to know I'm not the only person having the issue.
20 minutes is really more of an average. Sometimes I can go longer without an issue but it is guaranteed it will crash.
You bring up a great point that I didn't notice. It is more frequent when it is an app that uses a lot of data.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using XDA Free mobile app
No such issues on the international P905... Not in any of the games I play (It does 6 hours straight without issue) nor in data-heavy apps.
So it's likely AT&T-branded related.
My ATT version occasionally has a few apps that crash. I just restart and usually it's good. It is the same apps that do it so I don't thinks it the tablet.
I am experiencing the same thing on my P907. Can't seem to nail down the culprit.
Are any of you that are having this issue rooted?

I had the same issue then realized it was connected to Knox. I had 'Frozen' all Knox connected apps after I rooted an thought that might be it. I did a new root and it worked fine till I installed SuperSu which was not the issue specification but rather the fact that it disables Knox during the installation. I did one more clean wipe then when I rooted this time I just left Knox alone and I have had zero random reboots or crashes and I have not tripped Knox.
No, no root. Stock. I have minimised the frequency by switching from samsung keyboard to the swipe keyboard but it still occurs.

It happened when it was stock and it happens rooted. It's gotten to the point now that I went back to my iPad. I'm not liking the iPad since I've switched but I just can't use the note with it crashing all the time. I don't know what else to try.

I've seen a report or two about stability issues related to micro USB cards. If any of you are using one it may behoove you to try shutting down, removing the card and running without it for a while just to rule that out. Sometimes a corrupted card can do it when an application writes or reads from a particular location of the card. It's worth a shot.
Mine doesn't crash. But I feel it freezes occasionally. Itis actually subtle, but I can feel it. Especially, I certainly feel that my note 3 runs more smoothly then the note pro 12.2. Mine is a wifi version. Has anyone else got the same feeling? How can I optimize the device?

Do you use a microsd card? Most cards are really slow compared to internal memory. The Note Pro seems to install whatever it can on External-sd when adding a new app. Go into application manager to move all apps back to internal storage. See if that helps with the stutters and freezing.

All my apps are installed internally. I got some time to run the benchmark tests and the scores all seemed to be normal. However, in Antutu, the memory score of the note pro is about 60% of the score of note 3. Could the memory be the reason for the stutters?
So I called Samsung and I am sending it in for repair. As I said in my first post I already swapped for a new one at att and I have the same results so I'm not thrilled about sending this in just to have the same issues with whatever they send back to. Be it a new tablet or if they say mine is fixed. I didn't pay over $900 for something I can't use so I will get this resolved one way or another. I will report back when it's returned to me.

I think I may have licked it and not really sure why but I've gone from a dozen crashes a day to zero for the last few days. I went into Kies and did a Firmware Upgrade and told it to completely wipe out all of my data. It downloaded the firmware and reinstalled, I rerooted restored everything from Titanium Backup and its all good so far... Something to consider

im having the same problem. it occurs almost always when im playing games. I thought this device's hardware was top notvh for a tablet but it can only run on the lowest quality settings of most games. im very disappointed.
I experience this too, but it usually happens when the cover is open and it's on the back side of the device, it sometimes interact with magnetic sensor (some little movements of the case) and causes soft-reboot.
Nothing happens if cover is on the front side.
I should have my tablet back tonight or tomorrow depending on UPS. they sent me an email stating they replaced a component (whatever that is) and updated the software. We'll see if that fixes it.
