So I've started using AirDroid free something like 2 weeks ago. It worked reasonably fine. Used it quite a bit to set up a phone that I don't have physical access to. The remote data quota was not touched at all, there were still 200 MB left. Then at some point a few MB were used up, I thought nothing of it, though I didn't know why. Haven't used the software in a couple of days. Just wanted to have a look at the phone, and now it tells me that I have used up my remote data quota? But how?
What usage uses up the quota, and how come it didn't get used when I used the software, and when I stopped it suddenly is all used up?

Just recently, my o2 has started to run slower and slower. Its so slow now that I'm unable to sync it with my PC anymore. When I turn it on, its like the machine is running at 1MHz. You can watch things get drawn up on the screen. I'm also unable to run any applications, because of "Low Memory" screens that keep popping up telling me to close an application because my o2 is running low on system resources. I've cleared over 50mb and uninstalled everything. Its still doing it.
It seems as something is running in the background and eating up all the memory, leaving only a few k's availabe for programs. I can't even run xBackup or anything, because when I do and it starts doing its thing, the low memory window pops up and asks me to select a task to close.
Can anyone help me here? Please?
Thanks in advance - Nate
Tell us what you've installed recently.
You should install Pocket Hack Master by Anton Tomov (or atleast try to install). You can see the running processes and close them, using PHM.
Maybe that helps. So far, the only solution i can think of is performing a hardreset. The fact that you will lose data does suck though...
Nevermind, I did a hard reset just now. Seems to be back to normal now. While the o2 was in the cradle, I was still able to access its files through my PC, which was weird - but wasn't able to successfully sync the data.
Backed up contacts, and appointments using that option with xBackup. Took about 20 minutes to back up about 200k of data. :shock:
Fingers crossed that everything will run smoothly from now on!
BTW, any apps you guys recommend me to install?
I am on an unlimited data plan and don't care if my phone downloads large podcasts in the background while not on wifi.
I found out that LKG_MOConfig.xml and Downloaded_MOConfig.xml from /My Documents/Zune/PimentoCache/Keepers control this setting. I can bump up from 20MB to 200MB and reset the phone and it indeed works; but just like when changing the OEM store, this appears to reset itself after a day or so. Does anyone know if there is a way to make this change permanent?

Hey this really works. Just downloaded a 82MB file from Marketplace over 3G. Have been looking for this since i got my WP7. This should be in the Dev n Hack section.
Good catch. Unfortunately i have no clue as how to make it permanent.
If you can use the Root Webserver (see my sig) you could try marking the file as Read Only (there are other ways to mark a file RO, this is just an easy one). See if it gets overwritten then... I haven't tried.
Okay, I changed it and set it as read-only. Ill come back in a few days and let you know if it worked
Sent from my PC40200 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
It's now been two days and they have appeared to stay, so it looks like this is a valid solution
Other files in this directory have updated more recently but the ones marked read-only are as I've left them.
I cant browse my phone with a file manager. I am interop unlocked. Does anyone have this in a XAP that I can install to my phone ?
I'm working on an app that will enable selecting the Marketplace options (OEM and MO marketplaces, max download size, etc.) and setting or removing the ReadOnly bit on the relevant files. It'll take a little time, but hopefully not more than another few days, depending on how much time I can spend on it this weekend (no guarantees).
Awesome! this is my biggest grudge with WP7, I have unlimited data, and my HSDPA connection is faster than my home internet connection! lol

So here is the deal, my sister has a Samsung Galaxy S III phone and of late Verizon is saying that she is using tons of data. She has even replaces the phone completely and still it is showing she is using tons of data. The data usage monitor is showing almost no data being used, ie 0.03mb data used and she has data limits setup etc. The new phone itself has nothing installed but default apps.
Is there something that could be causing this outside the phone and what can I have her look for to figure it out. I am sadly not nearby or I would do a full check myself.
I am sure I have not given enough info here, so do ask anything. I will do my best to supply info as needed.
(Edit)Just got the info on the data usage, it shows almost nothing for most of the time then twice it shows downloads of over 500mb.

Hello, I am seeking advice/help...
I can see by looking and reading some of your writings and posts that yours and others time is worth alot... I am not sure on how much I could spend as I have already lost funds and had my bank accounts hacked. However I will gladly see what I can do if someone can hopfully help me...
I have been without proper internet for well over a month now.. I have changed my wireless routers out twice even added in a AP(hardware firewall)... My internet provider also suppliea optik TV and that is all ran through the same router.
At first I noticed some new programs would appear, things would be moved around some things would go missing... it was very unnoticeable unless you were paying attention.
Then the windows start up acreen would freeze for 5 minutes sometimes almost as if somethinf had froze the screen so that I wouldn't be able to see whats happening(Basically started getting worse - passwords being changed on me etc... - would lose my elevated privledges almost as if I was just a guest account)...
I even tried using CMD in dos to get my permission settings back and at first this would work but then the dos/cmd commands(whoami / ICACLS / and a few other commands would not work and say they don't exist... I also started to notice the size of my harddrive change.. I was never able to get it back to the right amount of GB. I tried to restore it many different methods as well (win7, linux, dos) nothing worked.. I then also noticed the MBR would constantly become corrupt and same with the hard drive.
So I looked into things and figured it must be the bios or cmos.. I tried to flash it and just decided I would start from scratch... However, everytime the computer restarts the old cmos/bios is back. I then also found things saved on (A: , B: and X) ... They were all write protected so I decided to pull the hard drive out. They still showed up even if I had the hard drive removed.
** X: is the boot drive as well so every time I tried to reinstall anything a bunch of extra files would get installed as well**
**Drive B had a volume named RamDrive..**
I ran some system/ tests in dos on the memory and kept getting errors but would not tell me what the problem was I finally figured out that it was a system error because the range went higher(above the 4gb that it's supposed to be)..
Now 4 laptops ruined... I just got a new laptop (win8.1) was never used and had never been turned on and after the initial startup/setup had extra software etc and now is stuck in infiniti boot loop....
Also similar stuff has happend or is happening with fax/printer, pvr, tv, ipad, iPhone, Android, wii, ps3, ps4.. dvd player, basically all media devices and anything wireless..
I have seen lots of evidence on remote connections through IOT, P2P/PHP, IPv4, IPv6, ssl, http(local group/work group) now it seems like things are communicating through a technique called air hopping or coupling. (RF, NFC, WIFI, IR, GPS/GSM, RFID, Altel Bluetooth and a few others). **I can remove the wireless card and laptops still connect**
They even got into a desktop computer that has no wirelsss or bluetooth card... and never gets plugged into the internet. Odd internet type numbers started calling my house phone also my house phone if I unplugged it etc... then powered it back up and didn't set date or time it would reset itself... The play stations would turn on and off them self... I tried reformattibg and missing a huge amount of GB.
Also, money was taken out of bank account as well.... anyone who goes to where this all is happening there cell phones get infected tooo... it seems to update tbe phones in fhe form of a push update aka broadcast signal.. Any help or input would be greatly appreciated...
another thing i noticed was files like index.dat/index.ini... desktop.ini. doubles of everything in my registry... and the fonts i couldnt change or delete... i noticed files from other devices listed on my phones and vice versa for things listed on the computer... if this isnt the right place for this i apolohgize...
also it appears as if my phone is rooted.. judging by the files and folders that are on my phone but it says not rooted. there is apps installed that i didnt put there and cant remove without being rooted.. my phones are constantly connected. factory reset doesnt work anymore... Neither does wipe cache. also constantly streaming data even if data is off and airplane mode. i keep seeng something about a 299-amtel.. redirect in any and all browsers...lots of adware as well.
im not even sure i will be able to ge back on here... if not you can try emailing me [email protected]... i appreciate any and all help.. thank you and sorry for the grammer juat trying to type this as fast as possible.
Your MEANINGLESS title is discouraging people from helping you.
Please at least use a simple sentence to summarize your problem in your title.
Anyway from what you're saying, you should report to the police, or if you have some friend with network and PC knowledge, ask him for help.
So here's the deal. I'm very smart.. but this is not my forte.(phones) my daughter has screwed up My wife and I phone. Along with my other kids phones as well. She has a school Chromebook and somehow we started getting games installed on our phones from the playstore and some weird rogue games. Looking at the permissions they have access to everything any anything in our phones. I did a little research after probing through hidden files on her Chromebook she stays on gotcha cc. And all types of http only gaming sites. I we have to constantly turn off our camera and Bluetooth bc it turns on automatically. I found out she can access everyone's phone and has also somehow made like 2 networks on my router when she was grounded and was getting free data while her phone was off?? I can't delete this crap. Anti virus scans are useless. I noticed Android developer in her cookies and also some studio. I have this **** attached to my bootloader and no reset can remove it. We have a moto g stylus 5g (xt2131Dl) and anything I put in to remove via my computer/USB cable it instantly corrupts it. She also had a bunch of wallpaper apps that seem to migrate to our phones.calendars clocks and things have these crazy permissions. I noticed my email now is workspace..? Or work profile. Can somebody hit me up and help me get rid of this ****. Oh by the way. It's on my PC desktop now and laptop. It's like my whole phone is a virtual machine.. everybodys. I can't update past anything released in 2019 and 2020. Help!

Wow....
First I take away her phones and laptops so she couldn't interfere.
Try factory resetting start with a router then the phones,
Motorola does have a recovery program for the phones,
rescue-and-smart-assistant - Motorola
#hellomoto | Discover our new unlocked Android phones from motorola and stay informed about our offers and promotions.
www.motorola.com
Then install an antivirus like Norton or something like that and let it run,
In the case of the laptops I pulled and trashed the hard drives get new ones and default the BIOS before you put it all back together,
If you're using Microsoft get the installation ISO on a thumb drive if the PCS are major manufacturers like Dell, the BIOS contains the licensing key so you won't have to buy it again
Good luck if she's old enough I'd ever arrested.
Just my two cents.....
And change all your passwords once you've got a good clean PC to do it from.
Ps dont connect anything back to the internet to your done sanitizing it all.

Maddog 3030 thanks brother! Yeah it's ridiculous. Like my mind is blown completely.. i definitely confiscated the two phone/laptop. You'll never believe what happened.. she freaking signed in through Roku on her tv.. the only thing I left in her room electronically. Furious. But I'm very grateful for you response I'm definitely doing that step by step. I can't believe we have to run our phones in safe mode in my own house 24/7. I'll see if I can grab some more verbage from some of the things I find. Alot of it is encrypted copy pasted on blank notepad on the laptop. However I did see chrome://sysinternals and flags in the browser history. She had been on. I'm just lost as to how.. is it all the Google cloud developer stuff or Microsoft or azure..what else.. the Roblox/gotcha stuff which the files are being put into.. like everyday our phones have like "software" update at the top of the screen . Like no matter what I turn off it automatically turns it back on I'm thinking through Bluetooth. Hey Ive searched and searched is there any possible way to run the Microsoft tool without a PC? And only on my phone? The laptop I have is a hp and the desktop is the windows all in one 27in. Completely knocked windows defender out. Funny thing is she's never once had possession of or even used our phones before. Hadn't sent anything to us that we've opened to give it access. Sorry to make this so long lol. But I know you guys are the ones to explain this to. I've googled/duckduckgo/chat gpt/YouTube and searched hours and days for an answer. I get anything from the tct malware to the developers of multiple platforms accounts. Each have pieces that are spot on. But nothing exact. Our phones are straight talk. I've even called them. No help. Caught my attention when she was having data somehow at school and her phone wasn't even active. But the data on my wife and I phones were crazy high. The usuage from multiple apps were around 900mb each in the span of a week.. just didn't think there was any way Bluetooth had anything to do with it because of the distance from her school at the time to our home was way too far. But whatever it is it definitely calls for our Bluetooth to be turned on and our hotspot also comes on too. EVERYTIME. It's some feature of it. And also was a dead giveaway after so long of it happening. Everytime our Bluetooth , hotspot and mic access would pop on she would be in the house on her phone being sneaky.. recently when I had enough and took the electronics and discovered all this stuff on it.
