EXTREME DATA DRAIN ON iPHONE 5

my iphone 5 has suddenly experienced a data drain. Data usage went fro  less than 1 gig to 18gig in one month, all things being equal.  ATT credited the 175 bucks, apple is giving us a new phone BUT   what the **** was it?????

Well that's what I'm asking - you got a message, I assume it's the first of its kind since you were consistenly under 1GB..   what was done on the phone leading up to that text?   Something kicked off a data drain.
Most importantly, is it still draining or are you still waiting for a new phone?

  • Since update. My 4s phone is using extreme data. All settings have not changed. Had to turn off location settings. Got any ideAs.m

    since update iPhone 4s is using extreme data that I have had to turn off all locations. Why has this happened as before update no problem. Any feedback welcome.

    I would try to identify what is using the data. You can go to Settings > Cellular > Use Cellular Data For and that will show a list of apps with the amount of cellular data used by each. At the bottom of the list you can tap on System Services for details of system service usage. The numbers can be reset at any time via Reset Statistics at the bottom of the screen. Watching those numbers for a period of time should identify the cause of the problem and be the first step toward the solution.

  • HT201269 how do I transfer all my data from IOS5 iphone on to my new Droid device( Samsung Galaxy S Fascinate)Don't even ask..Lol.. not my choice. iphone was my old company phone)  :0

    Hello, I have a (Company owned) iPhone 4 with upgraded IOS5 installed. I have 345 pics , several videos, notes, contacts, and my favorite songs(68 of them) in there. I must return the phone to my former employer. I have purchased  a new phone with an SD card capable of 8GB external storage. I also purchased an 8GB flash/thmb drive per advice of the Verizon retail store that stated they can only transfer pics/contacts and failed to even do that after a 2 hour wait. so, how do I transfer my data from old iphone to new Gallaxy S Fascinate? Please!   Thanks much... Deano

    You can import photos to the computer http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. Contacts and calendar can be synced to the computer as well to a supported application. How to transfer them from there is something I don't know, unless the new device supports getting contacts from those programs. You can also sync your calendar and contacts to gmail and then you would be able to sync them to the Droid that way. songs are in iTunes and are saved on your computer if you have them added there. However they could be in AAC version which would mean you would have to convert them for the Droid. You might want to go to an Android forum, they may have information there about how to do it, since many Apple owners have switched to Android.

  • How do I get rid of the "other" data on my iPhone 4?

    The "other" data on my iPhone 4 is currently taking up 4.5 gb of my 6.4 gb phone. As you can see I'm not very happy about this. I am basically limited too about ten apps and I cannot download iOS 7 due to my lack of storage. I was wondering if there were any ways to get rid if the "other" data without resetting my iPhone. I cannot reset my iPhone because my family has a shared data plan and a limited amount of storage to back up to on iCloud. We don't have enough storage on iCloud to backup the 5.8 gb I'm using because of the other data. Any help?

    You would need to restore the iphone.

  • How do I get my data stored in iphone 4S  internal memory, which was stored via USB connected to PC? Able to access just DCIM files ie image files and other docs like PDF, word and exel are not showing up

    Please, help in retrieving my data stored in iphone 4s, which displays just DCIM folder when access from PC.

    You can only transfer contents back, if they are associated with a certain app that takes up documents. If you go to the sync pane for apps and check the lower list of apps, clicking them one by one and check if contents you need are showing on the right hand side.
    Other contants cannot be transferred back, especially synced pictures cannot be transferred back to the computer.

    You can't. There is no memory card. It uses flash memory that's soldered to the logic board. If you didn't back it up, your data is gone.

  • When I was talking on phone, suddenly the phone was switched off. i tried to switch it on but it gave the message....connect to itunes for set up.  when I connected it to itunes...it gave the message, itunes can not read data from this iphone, restore it

    when I was talking on phone, suddenly the phone was switched off.
    i tried to switch it on but it gave the message....connect to itunes for set up.
    when I connected it to itunes...it gave the message, itunes can not read data from this iphone, restore it to factory settings. It also said while restoring ypu will lose all media data but you can restore the contacts.
    I restored the factory settings....the phone was on recovery mode...it was verified by itunes and all that..but in the end it again said that iphone has some problem and can not function right now.
    after that when ever i connect it with itunes, it gives the message, it can not activate the iphone further, try again later or contact customer service.
    What to do now?????? Customer service people say..it is hardware problem

    If it's a hardware problem, then the phone will need to be replaced.
    There is no magic that can fix a hardware problem.

  • Itunes store account for an iphone my friend created an account also in the same computer for an ipod and now it the ipod keeps getting all my personal data from my iphone how can i that  both devices sync in the pc

    thnk you

    Sorry to hear of your problem, but any hardware in a computer can fail - that includes the hard drive, the logic board, etc, etc. Fortunately, it usually doesn't happen that soon; however, I've read of hard drives failing within 6 months.
    So, since you did not purchase the extended Applecare Protection Plan (3 years coverage), you will need to make a decision to repair or sell it as is. I would always purchase 3 year coverage for an all in one or a laptop because repairs are expensive and at least I'd be covered for 3 years.
    We can't speculate on whether there should be a recall or not; these forums are for user to user assistance with technical problems. In your case, there is nothing we can help with since you've already gotten a diagnosis.

  • How do I transfer data from one iPhone to another?

    How do I transfer data from one iPhone to another?

    If your old device is an Apple using iOS 5 or later, and you have an iCloud account, you can transfer all your saved messages, email accounts, photos, notes, and other personal settings to your new iPhone.
    Here's how...
    Connect your old Apple device to WiFi and to a power source.
    Back it up to iCloud by going to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup and toggling iCloud Backup on. The time it takes to ba ckup depends on how much data you have and on the speed of your internet connection.
    iCloud backs up your device once a day. If it needs backing up before you transfer to your new iPhone 5, tap Back Up Now in Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup. Do not start transferring before the backup is finished.
    Turn on your new iPhone and complete the setup by selecting your language and country, and choose whether to enable Location Services. When prompted, choose your WiFi network.
    When prompted to set up, choose Restore from iCloud Backup, tap Next, and enter your Apple ID and password.
    Select the backup of your old device and tap Restore. Wait until the device has finished restoring from the backup.
    When the restore process is complete, your iPhone will restart and be ready to use.
    Connect your iPhone 5 to iTunes to sync data not contained in the backup (such as music, videos, apps, and so on). You can choose the data that are synced by clicking the syncing tabs in iTunes.

  • Can I delete my icloud back ups with out loosing my current data on my iphone 5

    Hey guys.  I was wondering if I can delete my iCloud backup  with out loosing my current data on my iphone 5?  I can not up date my phone because it says I do not have enough storage available.  Yes, I have purchased more storage space on iCloud. 
    Thank you!

    Yes you could delete backups without loosing anything on your device, but iCloud storage has nothing to do with your local device capacity. I guess that your device is just full and that you have to delete something like apps, movies etc to free up some space for other content.
    iCloud uses its storage only for
    Photos and videos in the Camera Roll
    Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)
    App data
    Home screen and app organization
    Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
    Ringtones
    Visual Voicemails
    purchases of apps, music, videos do not count against your iCloud storage capacity ( but please see also iCloud backup and restore overview http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4859).
