Data Usage went up 3GB in one day!!!  Never went over in 6 years!!

To start with, I have a broadband card for my computer.  Today I turn my computer on and I have three emails sent yesterday from Verizon.  First was 12/11/14 @ 3:53 p.m. 75% warning.  12/11/14 @ 4:27 p.m. 90% warning and 12/11/14 @ 4:49 p.m.was a data usage overage alert!!  I went on the site to look at "my verizon" and I'm almost over another GB!!!  I looked at the breakdown and it states that I used 2.1GB at 1:15 p.m. on 12/11/14 (which I didn't even have my computer on!!)  then on 12/10/14 at 3.27 p.m. I used 1.1 GB on what?????????????  Is there a way to know exactly what took that much data usage??  I never go over because I watch what I'm loading etc.  If I would want to load a game or something, I would check first how much data I have left.  Now I have to pay for this extra data when normally I don't even use all my data.  That should accumulate like prepaid minutes on a cell phone.  Can anyone help me figure out what happened??  Thank you!

Upon further investigation, It could possibly be that windows 8.1 loaded on my computer without my knowledge??  It takes about 3.6GB to do this which is about what my data was over.  AAARRRRGGGHHHH.    I don't even see a difference from windows 8!!
One of the reasons why I have always chosen to have updates notified that they are available so I can choose when to install them even though I have a landline internet connection without a data cap.

  • My daughter's phone racks up data usage every 12 hours, twice a day, even though she isn't using it. Anybody know why this would be happening or how to track it/stop it?

        Its all good, TimN8128! Mrhelper is corret with regards to making sure that mobile data is turned off when on WiFi or when not connected to WiFi, if you do not want the phone to access data services to update or refresh app services. These applications can all be configured by going to Settings and reviewing all apps that appear in that area. You can also configure a bit further by going to Settings>Cellular.

  • All of a sudden my data usage has exceeded my program.  I NEVER use data on the phone.  What could be causing data to be used up?

    I have had iphone 4 for almost 2 years.  I never go over my data usage.  After I updated to IOS5 I go over my data.  I stopped using ANY data except at home where I have wifi and I still get alerts that I am about to go over or do go over.  It is almost like something is staying logged in and using data time even when I back out to the home (app) screen.  Any Ideas?

    No one can answer that but you. Somewhere on your device it should say what apps use what. Also I would recommend that you shut off mobile data while wi-fi is on and not assume you won't use mobile data just because wi-fi is on. Also set wi-fi not to shut off when the phone goes to sleep if there is setting. This is the problem with iPhones. Android does it right and leaves wi-fi alone until you decide to shut it off.

  • What has gone wrong?  Data usage went from 1/2 gigabyte for last 2 years to over 3gigabytes.  I am not doing anything differently.

    Data usage has increased dramatically.

    How much data is reported for each app? Does it total 5.2 GB?
    Also, check your usage with your carrier on their website.
    In Settings go to iTunes & App Stores. Be sure use Cellular Data is off. And probably Automatic downloads also.

  • Date range parameters are off by one day

    I have a Start Date and End Date parameter in my SSRS report.  The results are off by 1 day.  For example if I enter 4/2/2015 and 4/20/2015 it will return a few results from 4/1/2015 to 4/19/2015.  I think maybe it's a problem with my date
    conversion in T-SQL, but thought someone more experienced than me would have seen this before.
    Thanks

    Yes 
    The safest way to write a date range comparison would be as below
    WHERE DateField >= @StartDate
    AND DateField < DATEADD(dd,1,@EndDate)
    If you want results with @EndDate inclusive

  • How to set SPD workflow to send email one day before the Due Date? ?

    I need to add a step in workflow for a item tracking list: send reminder email one day before the due date.
    I thought there is an Action in SPD: wait for [Due Date] to equal [Today]minus one day
    But there is no way to do that.
    I figured may be I need to create a calculated field [cal-date] that set to: =[today] plus one day.
    Then in workflow -
    wait till [Due Date] is equal to [cal-date], and send an email
    What is the formula for the above calculated field [Today] plus one day?

    Hi,
    You can add an approval action( such as Start Approval Process) -> click "Approval" -> go to “Change the behavior of a single task” . Then you will
    see the "When Task expires" stage.
    You can have a look at the blog:

  • MRP Put Purchase Requisition date one day before the Independant Req

    Hi Experts,
    There one  Independant Req per month dated the 1st day of the month.  When I run the MD02, the Purchase Requisition is placed the 1st day of the month. we do not maintain Planned delivery time. We would to have as Purchase Requisition date ; the last date of the previous month.

    Thibaut,
    The easiest way to offset the date of the supply element from the date of the demand element by one day is to put one day into "Goods receipt processing time" in the Material master of each material.  (purchasing tab or MRP2 tab).

  • BPM Java WebDynpro xsd:date decrease one day

    Hi Experts.
    I have a problem with the context between Java WebDynpro and BPM. I have an attribute of date type , when BPM call the Web Dynpro UI, this date it shows to user with one day minus, but in BPM Context and Web Dynpro context are with the correct date.
    I checked the BPM context and the value of this attribute is: "2011-08-06Z".
    I think that the problem is with the "Z" because it's like a time zone.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Julian.

    Hello Julian,
    We faced the same issue as you, and after doing all checks in configuration, nothing!, finally we found a SAP note that recommends to change the date type to string types, but, we have a lot of webservices calls and mappings that requieres a "date" type and this make more dificult the "solution".
    Then we found a little tricky solution.
    We change the webdynpro Date types to Strings, and make the transformation in bpm mapping to cast as xsd:date,  finally in webdynpro you must perform a string.format for the outgoing date as BPM is specting the date ( "YYYY-MM-DD")
    With this solution you see a "date" type in BPM  context and String type in Webdynpro and the offtset disappears.
    This solution maybe is similar to SAP Note, but you don't need to change all your consumed webservices types.
    Regards!

  • Why is my data usage increasing multiple times a day when I'm on wi-fi?

    For both myself on the Samsung Galaxy S4 and my girlfriend on an iPhone 5c, both of which we got just a week ago, we see our data usage total increasing several times a day, typically in very small amounts, occasionally larger.  Her increases are about 10x larger than mine overall.  All of this happens when we're each on wi-fi so I wouldn't expect to see these increases then.  Any idea why this is happening and what I can do to prevent it?  I'm guessing it may be some sort of auto update processing happening in the background, but I don't know that for sure and don't know what else could be causing this.

    After talking to 4 different Verizon reps today, nobody could pinpoint the
    cause of this.  I was mostly just told not to worry about it.  My wifi has
    seemingly been very solid both here and at work; I don't notice dropouts
    when I'm doing other things on it.  But I did disable mobile data on the S4
    and observed that the data usage did not increase any further after I did
    that.  So I guess I'll either use that as my primary mode of operation, and
    just manually reenable it when I know I'll be away from a wifi signal, or
    turn mobile data back on and live with the ongoing hits until it becomes a
    storage issue.  At the rate we're using data thus far, that shouldn't
    happen.

  • How can I reduce excessive data usage?

    My wife and I recently moved to the country and have no internet available by a physical cable or wire from an ISP.    Our internet service is provided through a Verizon Jetpack that we lease from Verizon.    We have an iPhone 4s, iPhone 5s, an iPad 1, and an iPad 2 (both iPads are WiFi only) 
    Our problem is excessive data usage.  Prior to our move, our iPhones each used approx .2GB per month.   16 days into our current billing month, the iPhones have each used approx 1.2GB, but our Jetpack (which creates our home WiFi for our iPads) has already used 10GB.  We do not stream anything on our iPads.  We use them in the evening for surfing the internet, checking Facebook, and playing Words With Friends.  That's about it. The Verizon online data calculator indicates we shoud be using about 4GB per month based on our iPad usage.   Yet my data usage log says that one night this week between 7:30 PM and 11:30 PM, our Jetpack used a full 1GB.  Is it possible that our Jetpack is simply "burning up" GBs while we sleep?  

    On my iPhone 4 running iOS 6,  Settings > General > Usage quotes the installed size of the apps not the data usage. I've just installed the Onavo Count which claims to record data usage of each app so one can see which the greedy ones are.

  • Are there known data usage problems with iPhone 4S?

    I just got my first iPhone. I barely know how to use the thing and pretty much only use it for checking my work email. I blew through 7 GB of data in 20 days. From everyone I've talked to there is no way I have done this based on my limited usage. So something is running in the background that I can't control. I've turned off the cellular setting and told it to only use wifi, and when I'm at home it appears to be using my wifi. I read some other comments here saying it could be a problem with the iOS, but it didn't seem like a definite answer. Any other ideas?

    Last month I checked the data usage on my iPhone 4S three days after the start of a new billing cycle. To my shock I discovered that I had been charged with about 193 MB of usage. That was very odd because 193 MB is well above what my total data usage is each month. Immediately contacted AT&amp;T Customer Service--twice. Each time they could not provide an explanation as to why the data usage was charged to my phone. All they could tell me was that all of the 193 MB were charged on the very day the new billing cycle started. They did try to sell me a larger data plan.
    I thought maybe this was just an odd thing that couldn’t be explained. Kept a close eye on my data usage for the reminder of the billing cycle and didn’t have another large data charge. I still stayed well under the 300 MB plan limit even with the unexpected 193 MB of usage on day one.
    Then my wife checks her iPhone 4S data usage on day one of this month's billing cycle at about 9 AM. She finds that she has been charged with 30 MB of data usage when she hasn't even used her phone. Again, 9 AM; day one of new billing cycle; 30 MB of usage; no active applications running. How can this be? She contacted AT&amp;T Customer Service and once again they were no help. She made two phone calls and also spoke with one CS Manager, but no one could explain why she has been charged for the 30 MB. Anyone else having this problem? Please help us resolve this if you know what to do? Extremely frustrating to be charged for data we know we are not using. Getting no help from AT&amp;T Customer No-Service.   

  • Serious unexplained data usages

    I not sure what's going on but I keep getting my connection dropped and my data usages went from 4 percent to close if not 10 percent in several days and I even took my battery so I wouldn't go over my limit and it's still climbing. Also I can't sign in to the community.  It says invalid  but I've redone it so many times so I no its right.
    PEGGY THOMPSON

    What phone? Did you look to see what app is using data? Did you reboot the phone?
    Each day is 3.3% of a month, so your trajectory would not be to run out of data if you are increasing from 4% to 10% over 2 days or more (4% + 3.3% + 3.3%= 10.6%)

  • Iphone 5 - anyone having huge cellular data usage problem on ATT

    I upgraded from Iphone 3g to Iphone 5. Over a period of last year, My average monthly data usage is approx 400MB (total less than 5GB in a year). AT&T is reporting that my Iphone 5 data usage crossed 6GB in a 3 day period . I called AT&T and have to listen to LTE, Iphone 5 and Multiple app running in background  non-sense as an explanation for 6GB data usage over a 3 day period. My Itune and app store does not download over cellular network. Even though Iphone 5 automatically creates an Icloud account during initial setup, I am not connected to Icloud on Iphone and never even logged on to Icloud account. IOS 6 setting for sending data diagnostic over cellular network is set to no.
    I feel this is same bug which Verizon user are reporting and ATT is not commenting on it till now. How can I consume over 6GB worth of data over a 3 day period which is more than my total data usage for a year. That is equivalent of streaming hd video (approx 300 MB per hour) for 20 hours.

  • How do I stop calendar from setting a second alert one day before?

    I have iOS 7.0.6 with calendar synced to my gmail account with CalDAV. When I create a new event in the calendar on my iphone, I set either a single alert or none. When I check back a few seconds later, the alert I set has become the "second alert," and the first alert is set to "one day before." Google calendar correctly shows a single alert, the one I set. If I then delete the first alert, it stays deleted. But then if I edit the even in google calendar, the "one day before" alert reappears on the iPhone. (Though still not on Google calendar.)
    It's driving me batty with all of these false alarms that are actually for tomorrow's activities. Is there a way to set alarms in iOS 7, or is that just a sacrifice we have to put up with to fix the iOS SSL bug? Should I set the current date in my iPhone to be one day late? 

    Settings > Mail Contacts, Calendars.
    Scroll down to Calendars and this sets default alert times.
    If you add an alert to a new appt, it is in addition to the default alert time.
    Either turn off default alert time or set the default alert time to when you want you want & don't add alert to the event when you create it

  • Major increase in data usage...could it be Facebook?

    My mother barely uses data on her phone, so i got her the 300 plan...since my uncle installed the Facebook app onto her phone, her data usage went passed her limit...
    is it really Facebook that is doing this? how could that be using so much data...and i know she rarely uses the Facebook app, so does it run in the background somehow? as far as i know, nothing else has been added to her phone

    Try uninstalling the Facebook app and see if the data usage goes down.
    Which phone do they have? Knowing exactly which model it is will help us know if we can offer any other suggestions to use for troubleshooting.
