Help with excessive push notifications - identifying data trafic on iPhone

I have a peculiar issue. According to my usage logs from my carrier, I am using 1MB of data every 15 to 20 minutes. With a cost of $0,17 per MB, this ammounts to quite a bit by the end of the month, in February I had spent over $200 in data trafic.
I do not wish to re-set my iPhone, since there is data on it that is important, so I want to figure out what the phone is really fetching.
Is there some way of identifying the data stream on the phone? Kind of like little snitch for an iPhone. This would allow me to see who the culprit was and possibly stop the traffic before it would cost too much.
Another question is how push notifications really work. By what I understand push is a subscribtion that is logged on a database somewhere (with Apple?. So if there is a bug in a support server, or a jam in one of the push subscribtions, would it really work to re-set the phone?
Any help or assistance is greatly appreciated.

I have a 750mb usage allowance and I was going over it because I wasn't aware how much my apps were actually using.
I turned off 3G when I was out of the house and only connected with wireless.
What it came down to was me using the app Instagram which is a photo sharing app. Every time the app refreshed it downloaded photos which was using up all my data. I stopped accessing Instagram through 3G and the problem was fixed. Now I go back on 3G a little and check my mail, use whatsapp, Facebook and find I stay well within my limit, in fact I hardly use anything at all now.
I honestly didn't realise how much I used 3G every day until I had to think about it. I wouldn't have thought your apps should be using so much data when you're not using them. Think about what apps you are using though, especially if it's anything to do with photos or downloading a lot of info.

I am not sure what is the problem.

Does the new command 2 binary format work with Apple Push Notification Service? I receive an invalid response status code of 128.

Does the new command 2 binary format work with Apple Push Notification Service? I am sending 2 messages with the same payload to 2 different devices. None of the messages display on either of the devices. It seems that at least 3 should have been displayed. For my first device, I received a response with an invalid status code of 128 and the message identifier is 2 indicating that the first message was OK. However no message was displayed on the phone. For the second device, I did not receive any error response, but no message was displayed on the device.
Does ANS perform any validation on the message identifier? The Local and Push Notification Programmin Guide says the message identifier is:
An arbitrary, opaque value that identifies this notification. This identifier is used for reporting errors to your server.
I know that the device tokens are valid because the same tokens work when I use the legacy basic or enhanced formats. The phones display the messages correctly when I send to ANS using the old ANS message format.
Here is the data and the response:

Email push notification takes longer than on iPhone

Hi,
On my iPad 3 with iOS 5.1.1 the push notifications for gmail (exchange) take several minutes to arrive whereas on my iPhone 4S with iOS 5.1.1 the
Push notifications are instantly. I have already tried deactivating my iCloud account and retting my network settings but it doesn't make any difference.
Anybody experiencing the same issue?

Today the push notification for gmail on my iPhone was slow too. Took about 2 minutes after I've sent it. The official gmail app got it instantly.

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).

Push notifications without data plan.

Hi all.
I have an original iPhone (2g EDGE) running OS 3.0.1.
Currently I am on an O2 contract, in which data is charged by the MB.
As such, I have replaced the APN settings with garbage text, and rely on wifi for my data needs.
And here lies the problem. Whenever I turn Push Notifications on, I hear constant feedback in my speakers, as though the phone is trying to contact the push server via edge, failing due to the garbage APN, and constantly retrying. Even on wifi, this occurs, causing the phone to get hot and draining the battery in a matter of 3-4 hours.
Throughout all this, as I can't use the data and phone connection at the same time, I cannot receive any calls or texts while the Push Notifications are in overdrive.
If I turn off Push Notifications and rebooting the iPhone, the problems go away.
Re-entering the correct APN settings, Push works fine over the Edge connection.
My question is this: is there any way to make push work only over Wifi, like iPod Touches, which have no data connection.
If not, is this a bug, and will it be patched/fixed soon?
I'm liking the Push Notifications, but find myself unable to use them as of now.
Please help.
Brand

When WiFi is actively connected, it replaces cell network data connections (GPRS, Edge or 3G) and push notifications are transmitted only via WiFI, as is ALL data - Edge is inactive by default. If turning on push notifications is causing your phone to "feedback" and overheat, there is a problem in your phone. There may be firewall issues blocking port 5223. This isn't being helped by the altered APN setting, See this support article:

I need help none of my notifications are coming to my iphone 4 and in the notification center everything is turned on i reset and restored my phone but it's still not working i need help with this asap

My iphone 4 will not push my notifications to my phone. I reset and restored it and still nothing. I even set it up as a new phone in still nothin can anybody help me.

Hi R. Weav27,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. This article has some troubleshooting steps for issues with push notifications:
iOS: Understanding notifications
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3576
Troubleshooting notifications
Push notifications require an active Wi-Fi or cellular connection.
Note: Notifications use Wi-Fi only when a cellular connection is unavailable. Firewalls and proxy servers may affect your ability to receive notifications. For more information, see Unable to use Apple Push Notification service (APNs).
If you're not receiving notifications for a specific app, try these steps:
Verify that the app supports notifications.
After installing an app or restoring a backup to a different iOS device, open the app to begin receiving notifications. If the app requires entering or logging in to an account, you will need to do this before receiving notifications.
Check Settings > Notification Center to ensure that the app is configured for notifications. If notifications do not appear in the Notification Center, verify that the Notification Center setting for the app is enabled.
Cheers,

Help with new hard drive and data recovery

I have a macbook pro 13" from early 2011...last week the hard drive crashed and after a few hours at the genius bar had to got tekserv to recover my data and get a new hard drive and update to 8GB of Ram. When I got my macbook back I was given an external hard drive that had everything from my old hard drive saved by the users on the old hard drive. I was hoping I could just transfer the user over to the new hard drive but since I had to restart the computer as a new computer I am not able to just reassign my old profile as the new one on this laptop. Maybe I've done something wrong but at this point I transferred all my documents over, moved my music and pictures over but I have a few things I can't figure out that I'm hoping someone can help with.
1. Do emails that were in my mail program from both gmail and my verizon.net program get saved somewhere or do I have to just assume those were lost?
2. my iTunes library is now there but none of my playlists are there. Should those have been saved somewhere in my iTunes folder that I should see them? I'm concerned about syncing my iPhone or iPads to iTunes without those there.
thanks for the help.

Help desk mobile push notifications

Hoping that someone may have an answer to my issue. We are in the process of testing out SW help desk. I have the SW app loaded on my phone and push notifications have worked for 3 weeks, but just quit on me. When i went to check under menu-setting-push notifications, all I get is a "loading message". I know those settings used to be there, I've tried uninstalling, using ssl, etc based off of other forums to no avail. I have a droid turbo that was recently updated to lollipop, but notifications worked after the update. I also have another user trying to install SW app on an iphone 5 and their push notification menu tells them to upgrade to v7.2. We are currently on v7.4.00070, not sure what's up there.
Anyone else running into this? Thanks!
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

Mobile Push notifications have been restored as of 11:23 am CDT. The OnPlus Service team aplologizes for the incovenience.

Anyone else have issues with no push notifications for ScoreCenter and CNBC RT?

Ever since updating to the iPhone 5, I have been unable to recieve push notifcations for my team alerts in ScoreCenter, but breaking news alerts work fine. I have tried deleting and reinstalling with no sucess. The same goes for CNB RT. No push notifications since the iPhone 5, even though, like ScoreCenter, it says alerts are on. I do not think this is an iOS 6 problem because both of these problems are non-issues on my iPad running iOS 6. Anyone else having these problems, or have any suggestions? Thanks.

Need help with representing 2 bits of data in a column

I Need help representing only 2 bits of data in a column in order to save space.
Is that possible?

CommitMan wrote:

Is that possible?Yes - using Assembler....
If you need to count bits to save space, then you must be on 70's, or early 80's, hardware. So using Assembler should not be a problem. Let me guess.. a 8051 microcontroller from the 1980?
Here's what the 8051 code and memory optimisation manual says:
>
The simplest and best way to get dramatic improvements
in efficiency is to look for all variables that will have only
binary values (0 and not 0), and define them as type 'bit‘:
bit myVar;With bit variables, the full set of 8051 bit-level assembler
instructions can be used to generate very fast and
compact code. For example, the following C code:
myVar = ~myVar;
if (!myVar)
}Generates only two lines of assembler:
B200 CPL myVar
200006 JB myvar,?C0002This example uses only 5 flash bytes and 8 CPU cycles.
When you use bit variables, you can implement a
nontrivial line of C code with just one assembler
instruction.
>
PS. Yes, the above is really from a manual for a real 80s microcontroller. And yes, I'm poking fun at your question as saving bits were a problem in the 80s and prior. It should not be a problem in the 21st century information system and database.

Help with replicating/updating vendor master data

Hi,
Currently, we run the bbp_vendor_sync program to do the replication. It does the job of both bbpgetvd (new vendor creation) and bbpupdvd (update existing vendor).
But the problem is, we have two number ranges for vendors. One is Numeric and other one is Alpha.
Group -->AB From 0010000000 to 0699999999
Group -->AZ From A to ZZZZZZZZZZ
The vendor synchronization program can consider only one number range at a time i.e.
either Numeric or Alpha. So, we have to switch the active number range
and run the program twice., first for numeric and then for alpha.
In order to avoid this, I'm looking at implementing bbp_transdata_prep which I was told would take care of this issue.
I looked around for documentation/sample code for bbp_transdata badi and couldnt find any on SAP help site or SDN.
Wondering if someone can help with the documentation/sample code and difficuly level of implementing this BADI.
Any help would be highly appreciated and suitable points would be awarded for your help.
Also, if there is another way to solve this issue without implementing transdata badi, pls. let me know.
TIA,
Seyed

I have problems with Icloud push notifications to email subfolders

Hello,
since ICloud i don't get any push notifications to any Subfolder.
At the mail Webclient i defined some email rules. I get only push notifications at the inbox folder.
Has icloud no support for notifications to subfolder?
Thanks a lot from germany

bump!
i have the same problem on my iphone 4S.
mails gets correctly put in the subfolder i assigned but i dont get any badge notification so hours may pass before i realize i have a new mail in my "very urgent stuff" subfolder! which is quite bad
would love to know if there's a workaround, it's a known issue or i should just disable the rules for a while and moving the mails manually.
notice the rules are applied on the icloud webmail app, but not on my desktop mac
