High data use handoff

II have been trying to find out why I had unusually high data upload and download on my internet account and traced it back to Handoff feature. Basically GB's per day. Most users may not be aware of this as Handoff is turned on by default. A great feature but is not practical for those on smaller ADSL Data plans.
Wondered if there were any comments/feedback on this

What network are you on? ..... As the network's own apps that measure data usage arnt very reliable. I work for vodaofne and our own data usage app is usually wrong in the first month of having your handset.
Also check your location services, are they on? As if you have apps that use this feature then that could be eating it up.
What I'd recomend is ringing your operator and just checking that you have actually used what you think you have.
Also what apps are you generally using when you are not on wi-fi?
And have you remembered to close apps in your multitasking bar once done with them. I once had a customer that had 56 apps running in the background, and that used all her data up over a few weeks.
Its also worth asking, how much data usage do you actually have?

  • Very high data traffic generated by Nokia Messagin...

    Is anyone else seeing really high data use on their phone log following last week's Messaging outage?
    Up until last week's outage, the data traffic generated by Messaging was about 5kb an hour (with no new emails sent or received). Presumably this small amount of data traffic results from the Nokia email server "pinging" the phone periodically to keep the connection open.
    But after last week's outage and issues with passwords being requested etc etc, I saw that the data traffic generated by the Messaging app has gone through the roof - about 400 - 500kb an hour!  Again, this is with no new emails sent or received - so theoretically is just the server pinging the phone to keep the idle connection open!
    I reinstalled Nokia Messaging on my phone (E61i) - no difference - the data generated by the Messaging app is still 400 - 500 kb an hour (it stops when I take Messaging offline).  
    I have friends roaming in Ireland and their phone has had the same problem - the data traffic generated by their Messaging app is sky high and they have had to shut it down because of the high cost of data whilst roaming.
    I also newly installed Messaging on another phone (N95) that I have, using a brand new email account and a new T-mobile SIM card, and guess what - that phone also has sky high data traffic due to Messaging.
    What is going on??  Can someone at Nokia Messaging please sort this out?  Anyone roaming with Nokia Messaging enabled is facing hugh data charges from their network.

    The data traffic occurs in phones which are on a home network (mine in the UK) and on a roaming network (my friends traveling in Ireland).  Interestingly, I've now checked with another friend who is roaming in Italy and they also use Messaging but haven't seen any high packet data issues with their phone.
    The data traffic shows up in the Packet Log, as well as on the actual T-Mobile network account (plus the charges for the data!)  Accessing a T-Mobile UK account online shows all packet data use - in this case, 120-150 kb every 15 minutes, whereas before last week it was 1-2kb every 15 minutes.  
    When I "Go Offline" with Nokia Messaging, the high data traffic stops, both on the Packet Log and network account, so I am 100% certain this is due to Messaging.

  • Odd high data consumptio​n on 10.3.1 (and 10.2.1) - on wifi, but routing over mobile network?

    Couldn't find a similar recent thread. Just an inconclusive one from 2013 that looked more about the difference between BBOS 7 & BB10.
    tl;dr: It looks like my Z10 is routing some traffic to the mobile network when to applications it looks like the wifi connection is active.
    I have not previously had high data-use issues with my Z10. On Friday February 20th, I updated to 10.3.1.1581. On Friday March 6th, I got a notice saying I'd used 75% of my data (billing cycle is on the 18th, 800MB limit). At that point, the device monitor said I'd used ~300MB*.
    Woke up the next morning and say an alert that came in overnight saying I'd gone past my limit, and the device monitor said I'd used ~540MB.
    240MB of mobile network data use while I was at home, connected to wifi, and asleep. The device monitor attributed it to "System". Normally, my mobile data use is mostly PIM and Browser.
    I looked back in the data usage report from Koodo and saw that there was a previous, similar spike on Feb 20, earlier in the day before the 10.3.1 upgrade. Right around the time I turned on wifi at work and put the phone on its dock, hoping to start the upgrade. That failed due to AP issues.
    I use "Pocket Casts" (Android podcast app). It's set to download only when on wifi and connected to power.
    Could it be that it thought I was connected to wifi, but due to weak signal strength, the OS actually routed the connection over the mobile network? I sometimes only have one bar of signal strength in my bedroom.
    If that's the case, why is an Android app's data use recorded as "System" and not at least "Android Player"? It looks like it must be lumped in under "System", though, as the wifi usage numbers don't show anything else with enough bandwidth consumption to account for podcast downloads.

    hi,
    what is Koodo and what do "AP issues" mean?
    besides, on Friday 20th, which OS version did you update from?

  • SUDDEN SPIKE IN DATA USE?  ACCURACY OF DATA OVERAGE ALERTS?

    Our data usage over the past 6 months averaged 2.25 GB  Top usage during that period was 2.99 GB in May
    Since I had been paying for 6 GB and never using it, I switched to 4 GB in May and signed up for Data Usage Overage Alerts.
    Then...all "heck" seemed to break loose???
    May 23 Received data alert via text: Have Used 75% of 3 GB--Added 1 GB
    May 27 Received data alert via text: Have Used 90% of 4 GB
    May 29 Received data alert via text: Have Used 100% of 4 GB-Added 2 GB
    June 1  Received data alert via text: Have Used 75% of 6 GB
    June 7  Received data alert via text: Have Used 90% of 6 GB
    OUR BILLING CYCLE ENDED JUNE 9
    June 11 Received data alert via text: Have Used 100% of 6 GB (???)
    Stunned that between the May 10 - June 9 billing cycle my reported data usage suddenly went over 6 GB for the first time ever, and not doing anything differently at all, I called Verizon Customer Service...
    The rep asked if I had been doing something differently with my phone (apps, photos, etc)
    I replied that my usage had not changed in any way...
    To which she responded that she was unable to track where/why my data use was suddenly so high...???  She had "No way of knowing"
    NEED HELP FROM VERIZON AND/OR COMMUNITY: 
    1.     ARE VERIZON DATA ALERTS UNRELIABLE?
    2.     HOW/WHY WOULD DATA USAGE INCREASE SO DRAMATICALLY WITH NO WAY FOR CUSTOMER TO CHECK/VERIFY?
    MANY THANKS...

    Like radar guns used by local police departments, I firmly believe that without some sort of independent oversight like cable companies use to check the meters Verizon wireless can tell you anything and you the consumer gets hit with high data use.
    My best solution for you is to reset the data counter on the phone starting with the first day of your billing cycle. Then check your online data used and see if they match.
    I also recommend you contact the FCC or even keep taking them to small claims or a superior court to have them produce records of data meter accuracy. At present no known outside concern can monitor what Verizon is claiming you are using.
    Get a good lawyer and take them to court.
    Good Luck

  • I am receiving bills from my carrier with very high data usage. I read books from apple store. Do ibooks use gb once purchased?

    I am receiving bills from my carrier with very high data usage. I read books from apple store. Do ibooks use gb once purchased?

    To reduce data usage, you should put iPad on Aeroplane Mode to stop all background activities when not using iPad.

  • Anyone using durable topics with high data volumes?

    We're evaluating JMS implementations, and our requirements call for durable subscribers, where subscribers can go down for several hours, while the MQ server accumulates a large number of messages.
    Is anyone using Sun MQ in a similar scenario? How is it holding up?
    Sun folks, do you know of production installations that use durable topics with high data volumes?
    thanks,
    -am

    We are using a cluster of Sun�s JMS MQ 3.6 with durable message queues and persistent topics. In a 4 hour window each night we run over 20,000 messages through a queue. The cluster sits on two Windows servers, the producer client is on a AIX box and the consumer is running on a iSeries. Within the 20,000 messages are over 400,000 transactions. Each message can have many transactions. Yes, the iSeries client has gone down twice and the producer continued with the message queue pilling up, as it should. We just use the topic to send and receive command and status inquiries to the clients. So every thing works fine. We have only had a couple issues with a client locking and that maybe fixed with sp3, we are in the process of installing that. The only other issue we have had is that once in a while the producer tries to send an object message with to many transactions and it throws and JMS exceptions. So we put a cap on the size of the messages, if its over a set number of transactions it send each transaction as separately, otherwise it sends all the transactions in one object type (linked list of transactions) message. Compare the cost of this JMS system with Tibco or Sonic and you�re looking at big savings.

  • Error while extracting ODS data using Infospoke

    Hello Gurus,
    I am not able to extract any ODS data using Infospoke. Let me describe the step by step process:
    I have created one infospoke for ODS data and i am selecting a 'File' option in the destination tab of infospoke. We are trying to land this file over to BW Server (on the default directory DIR_HOME). When I start executing the Infospoke in a dialog mode, I am getting the following error in the monitor screen:
    - Editing or Reading of data packet cancelled
    - System Error: RSDRC/FORM AUTHORITY_CHECK
    - Extraction Cube: Error in DataManager API
    - Cancelled.
    I can see two files created on BW Server in the Transaction screen AL 11. But the data file is empty.
    Does anyone know, why is doing this?
    Is there any authorization restriction, for extracting this transaction data? (I checked my profile and I have all the authorization granted)
    Is there any directory size related restriction, which prevents to extract and land this data over to default DIR?
    I am able to extract the Master Data files but not ODS data. Why is that?
    any idea or step by step procedure will be highly appreciated.
    Points will be assign to helpful answer(s).
    thanks in advance.

  • In an AppleScript, can compression level high be used when saving an image as a JPEG?

    When using AppleScript to save a copy of an image file as a JPEG on OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, can "compression level high" be used in the code, or can only "compression" be used?
    The part of the AppleScript dictionary for Image Events indicates that "compression level high", "compression level low", and "compression level medium" can be used, but when I type any of those three in the code and try to save the AppleScript file, the below error is displayed, and the word "level" is highlighted in the AppleScript Editor:
    Syntax Error
    Expected end of line, etc. but found identifier.
    -John

    you need to open the image in image events before you can save it as a different format.  you have to make a distinction between the image file (a file system object) and the image itself (the data that is the digital representation of the visual image).  what you want to do is open the image file in image events to extract the image data, then resave the image data in the new format.  looks something like this (changing just the last bit of your script):
    set theImage to choose file with prompt "Please select an image file:" of type "public.image"
    -- other stuff...
    tell application "Image Events"
              set theImageData to open theImage
      save theImageData in newPathToSave as JPEG with compression level high with icon

  • What is causing recent mac data use spike?

    I have a Hughesnet internet data use limit of 15Gb per month which typically for my family is sufficient.  As of last Thursday April 10 around 7AM my data use shot up and continued consistently high every hour.  It started at 200 - 300 Mb / hour, jumped to ~550Mb / hour at 2AM 4/11/14, jumped again to 1 - 2 Gb / hour 7AM 4/11/14 and continued until all the data had been used ~9AM 4/12/14.  I am using the Hughesnet utility to show what was used (after the fact) and I use Activity Monitor to what real time data use.  I think it would be helpful to have  a way of graphing the data use by process realtime if that exists so I can see what exact process is causing the data use.  I do not have any virus software running. 
    As of Sunday 4/13/14 having no data left I contacted Hughesnet and began to troubleshoot the problem.  I disconnected everything from the internet and shut down my wireless modem.  All that has been connected since then (today is 4/16/14) is my iMac which is directly connected to my Hughesnet modem.  I was given an additional 2Gb for troubleshooting.  I left my iMac alone for 2 days.  Very little data was used and almost no programs were running when I started using it again around 11:30AM 4/15/14.  Unfortunatly, as my wife started using the iMac for a few hours that data use went up again and used up all the data.  One thing i noticed was that the data use coincided with iMail being on. 
    How can i identify the problem and stop it?

    Gmail is an intentionally broken implementation of IMAP that often causes problems with Mail. The problem seems to have gotten worse in Mavericks. Google has no incentive to make Gmail work well, or at all, in any mail client, because the company makes money by delivering targeted ads via the Web. The Gmail servers analyze your messages to glean information about you and your contacts that Google can then sell to marketers, or to anyone who will pay for it. You agreed to those terms when you registered a Gmail address.
    I suggest either not to use Gmail at all, or to access it through the website as Google intends. You might get better results with another email client. I don't recommend any one in particular.

  • It's my understanding that when traveling overseas, all i have to do is turn off cellular data to avoid high data charges.

    it's my understanding that when traveling overseas, all i have to do is turn off cellular data to avoid high data charges.

    With Airplane Mode you will not receive phone calls.  If you are just worried about Data Charges then just go to Settings>Cellular>Data 'Off'  This may also turn your iMessage off such that all your iMessages even in a WiFi environment go out as Text Messages.  If you still want to use iMessage from Apple device to Apple device in a WiFi network then go to Settings>Messages> and turn it back on after you have set Cellular Data to Off.  Ckuan is correct though about having some per minute received or outgoing call and text charges.  For one example, if you were traveling in Canada but didn't have a Canada Plan you would pay about 89 cents per minute and 50 cents per send / receive Text.

  • Upload XML data using XSQL and HTTP Post ?

    Upload XML data using XSLQ and HTTP Post: is that possible ?
    An xsql contains an <xsql:insert-request table="aTable">
    The XML data file follows the ROWSET/ROW paradigm.
    What is the HTML form to upload the xml file to the XSQL ?
    I tried:
    <form action="myXSQL.xsql" method="POST" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">
    XML data file to upload: <input type="file">
    <input type="submit">
    </form>
    But the answer of myXSQL is:
    <xsql-status action="xsql:insert-request" result="No posted document to process" />
    Where is the problem ?
    Thank you.

    Hello,
    You are posting your XML file as a parameter therefore you should use the <xsql:insert-params/> tag, not the <xsql:insert-request/>. The insert-request can only handle data not posted via a parameter.
    Usage:
    <form action="myXSQL.xsql" method="GET" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">
    XML data file to upload: <input type="file" name="myXML">
    <input type="submit">
    </form>
    in combination with
    <xsql>
    <xsql:insert-params name="myXML" table="your table"/>
    </xsql>
    2 remarks:
    I was not able to succesfully POST the form. The answer was <xsql-status action="xsql:insert-request" result="No posted document to process" />. With GET is was succesfull.
    Second, if you use MSInternet explorer 5 or higher use could post the XML directly (not aw parameter) using an ActiveX object.

  • Unusally High Data Charges and Unwillingness to help

    Hi, I am wanting to find out if anyone has had unusually high data usage on their Home DSL ? I have been dealing with Verizon on a problem since August and have received exactly no help on this problem. I received a bill for over $600 and they say I've used over 75G of data in a month. Also since I have refused to pay the bill and they have suspended service, I have used over 65G of data since they have suspended service. Someone please tell me how this is possible. I have a business line through my employer and have talked to the business center on this matter and nothing has been done except for my bill to keep going up even after they have suspended service. Help Please !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'm not sure if someone who doesn't know the difference between DSL( stands for digital subscriber line ) and wireless can say with any authority they didn't use the amount of data in question.
    Using 75 GB in a month is nothing. Especially if you connecting a PC to your connection. 75 GB would be a light month for us.
    Anyways what devices do you connect with your connection?

  • Huge Cellular Data Use / Drain, While On Wi-Fi

    Anyone else got this? I'm very concerned as my 8gb / month data allowance is being swallowed up, and my carrier, Vodafone, just advise it must be the handset - and charge me for extra data, and Apple so far haven't diagnosed the problem...
    On my iphone 5s I'm having a huge cellular data drainage problem, seen in Settings > Cellular > System Services > Docs and Sync  and I'd be very surprised if there aren't many others with the same as it seems to me to be fundamentally linked to the iOS or the handset.
    In the first 12 days of this billing month ( since Nov 22 ) my cellular data usage was nearly 8GB - my limit is 8GB and usually I use around 500mb of that. So I'm now paying Vodafone for extra data.
    Spent a couple of hours online with Apple Support today  - my cellular data usage increasing from 3mb to 30mb  as we spoke  - and much of the time I was on wifi.
    Result was that Apple had me restore iphone as a new phone over itunes and reinstall 8.1.1 afresh; theory being that a fresh restore ( ie none of my apps, non-Apple mail accounts, or media on the phone ) should clear anything that may be causing Settings > Cellular > System Services > Docs and Sync to show high data usage.
    But with Settings > Cellular Data switched on, and no apps open or any activity on my part,  I'm seeing he exact same thing - around 45mb of data use in Settings > Cellular > System Services > Docs and Sync in less than an hour.
    Feels like the phone has been hacked in some way.
    Update the following day:
    I've kept the phone on the full  restore (ie not reverted to any of  my backups, as I had planned ) today - kept a record of the apps i installed and Settings changes made... the data drain has continued, so in Settings > Cellular > System Services > Docs and Sync the data use is now 108mb - and this is while being on Wifi the whole day except for around 30 mins walking to / from a restaurant.
    I've seen this iPhonedata drain issue raised elsewhere on the web, dating back to 2012 - but the posts I see never update to a conclusion.
    Another talk to Apple tomorrow. If anyone has had this issue and resolved it I'd really like to hear from them!

    I haven't been able to solve the problem yet but I think I'm getting closer. I've noticed that the data drain stops when my iMac is turned off, and that the data drain on the iPhone starts immediately once the iMac is turned on!!
    I turned off my iMac on Friday and had no data drain all weekend. As soon as I turned the iMac on today the iPhone "Documents & Sync" started to go crazy again. I logged out of iCloud on the iMac and the drain on the iPhone stopped! So, I don't think this is an iPhone hardware problem at all!
    To me it seems it's a bug in the iCloud service. Although all the configurations on the iPhone are saying that it should not use 3G, and that it should use the WiFi, it still uses the 3G somehow for some sort of synchronisation with my iMac. This is clearly a bug as I don't have anything on my iCloud drive and I have set Calendar/Contacts and Notes to sync only on WiFi. Apple please sort this one out. For now I'm switching cellular data off on the phone when I'm working on the iMac. It's the only solution at the moment.
