Droid Turbo why are you using so much data?

I have yet to get a response from Verizon on why my droid turbo is using so much data.  It is apparent their is some flaw when my phone shows I have used 100 mb so far this billing period and Verizon wireless shows I have use 1.17 gb of data.  I have checked all of my apps to restrict background data and yet it is using data like it is going out of style.  If somebody has a solution please let me know.

I had the same problem. After checking with other Turbo users on another board it turns out that even when you sign into wifi Turbo was using data. I believe this issue was supposed to be fixed in the last update, but I'm not sure it has been. I called Verizon today to get a refund for the $55 in overage fees I got in my first month with the Turbo. Verizon gave it to me, but in the course of the conversation the tech support guy asked me to turn on airplane mode and he sent me a text, which came through fine. He seemed fairly shocked about that, but still said that "we can't be sure what the source of the problem is, it could be your router." My router works fine and we have no connectivity issues with all the other devices in the house including the other cellphone, and it would have nothing to do with texts coming through. So, that's my experience with this issue, but at least I got a refund for last month's overages.

  • Why am i using so much data since downloading IOS8

    why am i using so much data since downloading IOS8

    Don't know -- but you can do a little detective work by going to Settings > Cellular and look at the apps in the section titled "Use Cellular Data For." Each app that has used data will show the amount used since the statistics were last reset. If you tap on "System Services" at the bottom of that list it will show the details of system usage. You can reset the statistics at the bottom of the screen. Checking those numbers for a while should help identify what is going on.

  • We just switched to a jetpack for wifi and within 24 hours used 1.8GB with only typical web browsing, no videos and two Kindle downloads. What's going on??? Why is it using so much data?

    We had a 5GB plan with an air card for the past 4 years and rarely went over our data plan but wanted wifi. We were told the jetpack was the way to go. But within 24 hours of setting it up we went through almost 20% of our monthly allowance! We didn't use the computer any differently than we usually do and only used the wifi for 2 Kindle downloads and then disconnected the device from wifi (verified on the jetpack) yet our usage is going through the roof. I will blow through my 10GB in a week at this rate. Very frustrated and don't know where to look for "leaks." help? Any ideas? I don't seem to have any devices drawing from wifi that I don't know about.

    EXACT SAME THING HERE but VERIZON DENIES and calls us LIARS......
    HAHAHAHAHHAHA  Verizon DENIES even hearing about such issues. DENIES even knowing the forums are full of this issue but then tells me that those who post on forums are LIARS. Accused me of lying then talked about how much integrity verizon has. HAHAHAHAHA what a joke. Expect unexplainable overages. Expect verizon to continue stealing until you either a) fulfill your contract and escape or b) cancel and pay the termination fee (I suggest canceling as it will be cheaper to pay these (removed) their extortion than to continue to pay overages THAT DO NOT EXIST) You are NOT USING the data, the data is MISCALCULATED/MISREPORTED or verizon is just jacking with everyone to increase revenue, increase stock value,increase bonuses. RICO anyone? WHERE ARE THE LAWYERS WITH THE CLASS ACTION ON BEHALF of those of us stuck in our verizon (removed)??

  • Why am I using so much data now on Iphone 5 compared to my Android?

    I have had three smart phones, two Android and now the Iphone 5 all with Verizon.  I have never come close to using a gig with my data, but now, with the Iphone 5, I am almost near my limit of 2GB for two months in a row.  I don't get it????  I use wifi all the time at home and work.  I do not stream movies.  Music, but only on wifi.  Anyone have any answers?? 

    Morning dgohio,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information on this, take a look at this article:
    iOS: About cellular data usage
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4146
    You can also temporarily disable cellular data when it’s not needed.
    From the Home screen:
    iPhone: Tap Settings > General > Network
    iPad: Tap Settings > Cellular Data
    Slide the toggle next to Cellular Data to off. This will disable all cellular data traffic until it’s enabled again.
    Hope this helps,
    Mario

  • What is DNS Services and why does it use so much data?

    I have 300MB to use a month on my iPhone 4S (most recent iOS) and I'm normally pretty good with it because I'm connected to WiFi a lot. All of a sudden, my data usage spikes and my DNS services usage has gone up to 40MB. What is this and how do I keep it from spiking like this? It's incredibly annoying.
    Also, any other tips on saving data while connected with the 3G? As mentioned before, I only have 300MB so I like to stretch it for the month.

    DNS (Domain Name Service) is the Internet "address book" of web sites. Whenever you go to a site such as http://apple.com your browser must make calls to the DNS server specified in your Network Settings to translate "apple.com" into Apple's IP (Internet Protocol) address of 17.178.96.59. Any time you access any Internet resource (such as sending or receiving email, playing multi-player games, using a browser, Using any app that accesses data on the Internet such as news, weather, stocks, etc) one or more DNS lookups must be made. Many web sites have content from several different sites. Each site referenced on the page must also be looked up. Each query is small (~100 bytes), but they can add up.

  • Are you using WebServices ?

    Hi Community !!
    Just few question, are you using WebServices as Data Services ?
    if so are those WS internal or taken from Internet ?
    if taken from Internet ...what do you think to create a Wiki Section with public and WS examples....
    Discussion is wide open
    Regards, Luis

    Hi Marcel & Benni!
    That's exactly the idea of this discussion, to share the information we have about WS as dataservices...
    In a demo i used a public WS to show a Dilbert image, i took the WS from the examples listed on <a href="http://www.esynaps.com/eSynaps_home.aspx">eSynaps</a> and works great!
    But, we want to know if there are others than use WS internally or from publics api's and to share their experience here ..... or in the Wiki section of course
    Looking forwards for more comments
    Regards, Luis

  • We are using SO much data on our home wifi, an idea why?  All apple products

    we are using so much data on our home Wifi, any idea why?  All apple products...mac, ipad air and iphone

    No, but we live in a rural area with NO neighbors close by, and it just started in the last 2 months and we have had the same set up for 3 years ...feeling like it is some new update setting that I am not catching...

  • How can i remove pictures from my droid turbo without having to use the touch screen on the phone at all?

    how can i remove pictures from my droid turbo without having to use the touch screen on the phone at all?  my screen is cracked and i am waiting on a replacement phone.  as far as i can tell in order to access the phone storage through my computer, i have to use the touchscreen to enable it so that the computer will see it as a camera.  I can't do that as the top half of the touschscreen is unresponsive.  any suggestions?  teaches me to use the backup services offered in the future, but i still need a short term solution for this time.

        I'm sorry to hear your screen is cracked spence425. I know its difficult to use the phone while its damaged. I'm happy you are receiving a replacement device. Have you saved any of your pictures and other data to the cloud? Here is a link about the cloud http://vz.to/1mF0GIx . Unfortunately, you will be unable to remove any data from the phone if the screen is unresponsive but if you are looking to transfer data to your new phone, it would have needed to be saved via the cloud first. Keep us posted.

  • Why do YOU use Apple's Server product?

    So...I've been running 10.5 server for maybe 2 years. The services I use are: AFP SMB DHCP DNS Firewall Mail NAT Web VPN. I went from using linux (slackware no less) to using OS X Server. My issue here is....honestly it feels like OS X Server is a GUI wrapped around a closed source kernel and everything else open source. Paying $500 for something I could pretty much do myself is where I have an issue...and the fact that the admin gui is pretty limited. Even today I still have to manually edit natd to use ppp0 as an interface. I guess if people needed OD and all that jazz maybe it's worth it....so my question to all is the subject...why do YOU use it?

    AFP, mail, web - because AFP is the best choice in many instances for fileserving Mac OS X clients,
    and also (why OS X Server) because clients do not want to pay me what it actually takes to build it on my own, and I'm not going to do that for free for the "benefit" of not paying for it with my own time.
    What's provided is a pretty excellent base set of tools, and I can easily update clamav, amavisd-new and spamassassin manually which I'd be doing anyway on any other platform.
    As of 10.5, Postfix is a current enough version to do what I need, and I'm comfortable manually editing the config to get it to do all of what I want.
    I just don't have to spend ridiculous amounts of time building all of this,
    and with OS X (software and hardware) I get Target-disk mode, a far better GUI when I need it (not much), and the portability of a system drive is actually immeasurably better than I'm going to get with any other platform & OS out there. If you haven't experienced that yet then you don't know.
    Yes there are limits to that, but that's negligable compared to how thoroughly un-portable a system drive is anywhere else. To an extreme degree.
    NetBoot/NetInstall, asr, ease & portability of system images,
    The great benefit (OS X client) of commercial software (Adobe, Office, etc. ) alongside perl, python, ruby, shell scripting, etc.

  • What is the significance of Marker interface? Why are we using, even though

    What is the significance of Marker interface? Why are we using, even though it has no method?

    Well, what's the significance of an interface? They can define a set of methods a class may implement but the class could equally well implement these methods without the interface so why having interfaces at all?
    The answer is that the most important aspect of an interface is that it constitutes a type (you can declare variables of it). And it's a type regardless of how many methods it defines, including none. So the reason for having a marker interface is that you're interested solely in the type aspect of interfaces.

  • What browser are you using with OS 9.x?

    Would you all please state which internet browser you are using with OS 9.x and the strengths/weaknesses you are experiencing with it?
    I switch back and forth between Mozilla and Internet Explorer but fewer and fewer websites work properly with them. If there is a better browser than those two I would add it to my old Wallstreet running 0S 9.1.
    Again, what browser are you using with OS 9.x and what are its good/bad points?
    Thanks!

    (Almost forgot
    I have an iCab filter set up for Yahoo on my OS 9.2.1 iMac.
    For the URL string I use (asterisk)yahoo(asterisk)
    For the Scripts filter I use the Netscape identity and have all versions checked except "JScript", and everything is checked in the "Allow" section.
    For the Network filter I use the Firefox identity and have the HTTP "referer" set to "Always".
    I don't use Yahoo Mail much on that machine, but those settings allow me to use the Address book to select addresses and send messages with attachments. (I'm not sure about viewing attachments, though, and I'm almost positive that address auto-complete doesn't work.)
    Cheers,

  • Limit Preview Size. Which setting are you using?

    I'm not exactly sure how the Limit Preview Size preference affects my workflow. Which setting are you using, and why?
    My preference is currently set to the v2.0 default 1/2 Size. My iMac's resolution is 1680x1050, and I'm using the Canon EOS 1D Mark III taking full size RAW images at 3888x2592.
    regards,
    Gregory

    Gregory,
    I use the default (which is 1/2 size) with no ill effects. Previews are used by external programs to gain access to photos in your Aperture library. (This is not the way your external editor works, though.) Your preview size will not affect your workflow. When previews are turned on, Aperture works on generating previews when you have something new of which to make a preview. I seriously doubt that making a small copy, versus making a smaller copy, would affect how long it takes Aperture (and therefore, how sluggish Aperture might appear.) The difference between making previews and not making previews can be significant.

  • General Forum Question: What Contact Synch Method Are You Using?

    This is a question directed towards all forums members using SynchManager to synchronize B2B customers between Web Tools and SAP Business One.
    Of the four possible methods listed below:
    - WebTools UserID Field
    - Email Address
    - BusinessOne InternalCode
    - Seek and Choose
    Which one are you using to synchronize your data?
    We're trying to decide between Email Address, BusinessOne InternalCode, and Seek and Choose.

    Hi Micheal,
    I can not tell you what people are using, but the pros and cons are as follows:
    Webtools UserID (the exposed field on the BP contact)
    This is the best option if you are willing to do the work of setting this property for all of you users in a meaningful way.
    Pros:  Allows you assign a meaningful login name for users of the website
    Cons:  You have to assign he userids (a lot of work if you have 10s of thousands of contacts)
    EmailAddress
    Pros:  hopefully, everyone knows their email address.  So this is a meaningful login name.
    Cons: B1 does not require email address, so the user will probably end up with an OCPR ID if they don't have an email address.
    B1 internal code
    Pros:  it always works
    Cons: no wants to be a number.  Your login name will be "1234", password = "whydoIhavesuchahorriblelogin"
    Seek and Choose
    I consider this the best option, unless you have a better algorithm to populate NPUserID than described below (let me know if you do )
    The seek and choose routine works as follows:
    1.  if they have an NPUserID, user that
    2.  if they have an email address, user that
    3.  use the B1 internal code
    Pros:  User will have the best possible login name. 
    Cons: You do not know which option the user ended up with
    One last note:
    v630 (p10--or whatever we are calling it these days), has added a login name to the Webtools user.  This addresses the glaring problem of not being able to change login name.  Now the user can change their own login.  (why did this take 5 years?).  Hopefully, this will make this decision less daunting.
