I Phone generates huge amount of traffic on its own

Hi there,
I have a serious Problem with one of my IPhones. It started to generate about 2GB of Traffic within a short period of time without me doing anything. All apps closed. It exceede my included traffic and now the provider claims about 1500 EUR / 2000 USD. Provider is not cooperative. Phone locked.
Is there any chance to find out which app, process etc caused that traffic? Is there some kind of log in the iphone? Any hint for clarification are welcome
email download was set to manual. Push notifications on for facebook and whatsup messanger.
Thanks

Hi,
the traffic was generated in my homecountry, so no big cost factors for the provider. Thats maybe why the motivation for solving the issue is minimal from the side of the provider as the 1500 EUR are near 100% profit for them.
The provider is not able to tell me in which period it was generated. In the system they only see besides minor accesses with 20 to 30 MB one big access with about 2GB at once. It was the second day of the new invoicing period, so maximal 2 days but i guess it was even shorter some hours or minutes as the phone is connected to WLAN at home and was not outside of that WLAN for a longer period of time.
For the hint with the notifications: i can not imagine that they produce 2GB in normal usage. I have a secound IPhone with excact the same notifications on and it produced 50 MB in the same period of time.
It seems it was a malfunction of the phone or one app. As there are no logs in the phone the cooperation from the provider is needed, but to be honest they act like I am a criminal. Is there anyone at apple that can force the provider to be cooperative?
I know now at least one case that has exactly the same phenomen and also a very nice claim from the provider.

    Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer. If the iPhone is recognized in Recovery Mode, then Restore the Firmware. If not recognized, then hold both Home and Power Buttons until the iPhone is recognized in Recovery Mode. Usually takes about 20 seconds of holding both buttons. Restore the iPhone Firmware.

  • My phone started erasing everything on it on its own! All my contacts have been erased even on icloud! Is there a way to get them back? How could that happen?

    My phone started erasing everything on it on its own! All my contacts have been erased even on icloud! Is there a way to get them back? How could that happen? I thought I was 100% secure with Icloud but it does not seem the case! Now I have contacts retrieved form my email accounts but nothing from icloud!
    Please help!

    Well with the contacts, if you had back up assistant or google back up then you may be able to retrieve them.If not then they are gone for good. Withe the message you ae getting about the space, since you cleared everything out and still get that message you might or actually need to do afactory reset thru settings. So make sure the apps you want are saved on your card or just do the reset and redownload the apps

  • My phone spazzes and randomly does stuff on its own like typing a bunch of random letters, or scrolling up/down a page, or going out of an app. What can be done about that?

    I have a 5S and I've had it since december. ever since i got it I've had trouble whit it. It spaces out at random times, types stuff on its own, goes out of applications, scrolls up/down a page etc. This happens almost daily and the only thing I can do about it is lock my phone, go back in, quit all my apps... Along with that now my touch ID has not been working. Although it has started today, I am worried.

    I have an iPhone 6 and have been having this issue since I got it in December 2014. Apps open on their own, scrolling up and down, etc. It's like a ghost is touching the screen. It seems to be the worst when my Verizon connection is only at 3G or my wifi strength is low. I'm not sure if it's an iPhone thing or a carrier issue?? Any ideas?

  • Ironport decrypting traffic on its own

    We had a situation come up today;  we have users that access a site that uses digital certificates (Fedline) for access, and it stopped worked for all users at  multiple branches this morning.  It didn't give any kind of error message - the login (user/pass) page for the site was fully accessible.  Since we are set up with certificates, we don't have the login credentials.  The distant end swore up and down that everything was good on their end. (and it was.)
    Turns out, Ironport started dropping/decrypting traffic to that IP address.   The fix action was to add the decrypted IP to our 'Nodecrypt' category.  This had been functioning correctly for months, but we are concerned because it caused a significant outage, and we didn't make any changes to Ironport, but it definitely started treating the traffic destined for that IP differently.  What would cause this kind of behavior?  Is there a way to stop it from doing this again?

    Michael,
    The piece you're missing is that the web site updated their cert... and/or didn't upload the intermediate cert to the web server.
    It was issued 4/10/13, and given how high profile this is, they may not have actually rolled it public without testing etc. so you may not have seen it until now...
    You don't have to go find a user, you can get the public and intermediate certs for Entrust yourself, either by going to the site in question using the browser to export each cert, or from Entrust:http://www.entrust.net/knowledge-base/technote.cfm?tn=7869
    Now, there is a spot for Cisco to do something here... as the already ship with the Entrust 2048 cert in their trusted store, so why intermediate stuff isn't working, I don't know... Maybe someone from Cisco can pipe in here...

  • Why the apple store is so expensive and why the apple users can't access for free after spending huge amount in apple phone ?

    Why the apple store is so expensive and why the apple users can't access for free after spending huge amount in apple phone ?

    The Apple store is correct. The warranty is not international, and Apple will not accept or return iPhones shipped from a different country.  You need to ship the phone to somebody in Hong Kong who can take it in to Apple for repair, or pay a third party repair shop in the Philippines to fix it.

  • HUGE amount of yellow "Other" space being taken up on iPhone 4S. Please help!

    I looked around the forum for a solution of the huge amount of yellow "other" space that is being eaten up on my iPhone 4S. Even after a restore, the yellow "other" space is taking up 7.1 GB of space on my phone, up from 6.5 which is what it was before the restore. What is going on? Usually I just erase some texts (I send a lot of pics to my hubby and mom,) erase some voicemails and it drops down to around 1 GB. But I've noticed since iOS 6, that hasn't worked. 7.1 GB is ridiculous. Is there ANY way at all to get rid of it without having to erase absolutely everything about my phone and start over from scratch, including downloading 40 apps all over again?
    This seems to be a problem a lot of people have been having over the past few years, why has it never been addressed? There needs to be some sort of utility or something that cleans things up if they have problems with junk not getting deleted or corrupted files sticking around.

    Ok, so I appreciate the suggestion that it may be a corrupted file. But have you noticed that I am not the only person having this problem? Actually look. It is a valid problem, and I'm not the only one having it. So asking for Apple to fix it really isn't wrong.

    Obviously the problem is not new. And it isn't huge, but it is inconvenient and annoying. How are files getting corrupt so frequently that they are taking up 8 GB of space? There has to be a cause. And the fact that before iOS 6 happened, all I had to do was delete text messages and that would immediately fix it. Why has that changed?
    Also, it's a crime to say the word Google? Sorry it offends you, that's what I used to search.

  • Calendar app in iPhone use relatively huge amount of cellular data

    I'm using a 500MB plan, so my cellular data is very limited. Each month I will check which app on my iPhone used most of the cellular usage, and the built-in Calendar always used the highest amount of cellular data.
    I already set the Calendar to sync to "Events 2 Weeks Back" only, and I installed Sunrise calendar and only use it to create new task, edit task, etc. So far Sunrise calendar is the only calendar app that directly access my iCloud calendar. So I can make a comparsion between the two.
    I reset the cellular statistics a week ago. Today, the usage of Calendar and Sunrise are as follows:
    Calendar: 23.9 MB
    Sunrise: 581 KB
    They are displaying the same amount of information, the only difference I think is Calendar use Push to keep updating itself, so it consumes this relatively huge amount of data. (>90MB each month!)
    I tried disable the cellular usage of Calendar in the past, but then I cannot see the most up-to-date information in the Notification Center. So at last I have to re-enable it again.
    Does anyone have similar problem? Is there any solution? Thank you!!!

    Hi Robert,
    Thank you for the comments but I somehow think we are miscommunicating.
    1) I have no problem backing up the phone locally (or to icloud if I wanted to)
    2) I have no problem turning on or off cellular data usage for any app on the phone
    3) I have no problem seeing what apps are enabled or how much cellular data they use
    My problem is the following
    APPLE's Notes app used 2.7 GIGABYTES of cellular data (before I disabled cellular data for this app) despite the fact I wasn't even using the app. I didn't change any setting for Notes, I didn't do anything with it except create one note on October 15. It would seem to me that this excessive usage is a bug or oversight in Apple's design of the app.
    The purpose of this post is to warn others of the potential issue and to see if this issue has been observed by anyone else and if there are any actual fixes. Disabling cellular data for the app is a work-around ... but will the problem begin again if cellular data is re-enabled?
    Your suggestion of erasing all content and settings and then restoring the phone from the backup sounds extreme but would it solve the specific problem of excessive cellular data usage and if so .. why?

  • Handling Huge Amount of data in Browser

    Some information regarding large data handling in Web Browser. Browser data will be downloaded to the
    cache of local machine. So when the browser needs data to be downloaded in terms of MBs and GBs, how can we
    handle that ?
    requirement is as mentioned below.
    A performance monitoring application is collecting performance data of a system every 30 seconds.
    The size of the data collected can be around 10 KB for each interval and it is logged to a database. If this application
    runs for one day, the statistical data size will be around 30 MB (28.8 MB) . If it runs for one week, the data size will be
    210 MB. There is no limitation on the number of days from the software perspective.
    User needs to see this statistical data in the browser. We are not sure if this huge amount of data transfer to the
    browser in one instance is feasible. The user should be able to get the overall picture of the logged data for a
    particular period and if needed, should be able to drill down step by step to lesser ranges.
    For e.g, if the user queries for data between the dates 10'th Nov to 20'th Nov, the user expects to get an overall idea of
    the 11 days data. Note that it is not possible to show each 30 second data when showing 11 days data. So some logic
    has to be applied to present the 11 days data in a reasonably acceptable form. Then the user can go and select a
    particular date in the graph and the data for that day alone should be shown with a better granularity than the overall
    graph.
    Note: The applet may not be a signed applet.

    How do you download gigabytes of data to a browser? The answer is simple. You don't. A data analysis package like the one you describe should run on the server and send the requested summary views to the browser.

  • Changes to write optimized DSO containing huge amount of data

    Hi Experts,
    We have appended two new fields in DSO containg huge amount of data. (new IO are amount and currency)
    We are able to make the changes in Development (with DSO containing data).  But when we tried to
    tranport the changes to our QA system, the transport hangs.  The transport triggers a job which
    filled-up the logs so we need to kill the job which aborts the transport.
    Does anyone of you had the same experience.  Do we need to empty the DSO so we can transport
    successfully?  We really don't want to empty the DSO's as it will take time to load? 
    Any help?
    Thank you very muhc for your help.
    Best regards,
    Rose

    emptying the dso should not be necessary, not for a normal dso and not for a write optimized DSO.
    What are the things in the logs; sort of conversions for all the records?

  • I AM STUCK WITH MOZILLA FIREFOX / NOT SHOWN ON MY LAPTOP SCREEN / USING HUGE AMOUNT OF RAM IN GENERAL - CAN YOU HELP????

    Hi,

    ''Mozilla/Firefox 4 will not SHOW on my computer SCREEN.
    Firefox won't load onto my computer. I have Windows 7, and each time I try to run the program to install it, it tells me I have another version still waiting to be installed that requires my computer to reboot. When I check "yes" to reboot, my computer reboots but still no Firefox. When I try to uninstall the the old Mozilla program from my Control Panels, there is no Mozilla files or programs listed not in my list of programs but when I go directly to the Windows File on the C: Drive, there's a Mozilla program file there. WHen I go into that file check, I attempt to open the uninstall program. I get an error message that says something to the effect of: "the version Mozilla on this computer is not compatable with my OS." Something about it being and 86bit program. My Firefox 3.6 worked fine 2 days ago. What's wrong??? ''
    '''Firefox 4 using huge amounts of RAM on sites with Java scripts
    I have been observing Firefox using huge amount of RAM when I am on sites that use Java Scripts to rotate images. I have tried a couple of different sites and have monitored the RAM usage. With Java script enabled Firefox 4 continues to grow its RAM usage by about 10MB a minute. I have had the usage hit as high as 1.5GB. As a comparison I have monitored the same sites in Internet explorer and have not seen the same issue. - Just to eliminate a site issue.
    Turning off Java Script solves the issue and eventually frees the RAM.
    I am using XP Pro, 3 GB RAM. '''''
    My experince with Mozilla Firefox:
    Here what really happen when I install the Mozilla Firebox on my La[top you can see the file is there but when I click the program to open its does not shown on the screen but when I check with WTM (Windows Task Manager) its shows that is ON and you can only witness the laptop going very slow and I have to reboot it, and I can not install any other Mozilla :( because of the same problem and all the above.
    I really need Mozilla to work as soon as possible due to important deadlines I have pendent, and i can only use Chrome but is not my ideal program. Can you help me , please ?????

  • Report in Excel format fails for huge amount of data with headers!!

    Hi All,
    I have developed an oracle report which fetches upto 5000 records.
    The requirements is to fetch upto 100000 records.
    This report fetches data if the headers are removed. If headers are given its not able to fetch the data.
    Have anyone faced this issue??
    Any idea to fetch huge amount of data by oracle report in excel format.
    Thanks & Regards,

    Hi Manikant,
    According to your description, the performance is slow when display huge amount of data with more than 3 measures into powerpivot, so you need the hardware requirements for build a PowerPivot to display huge amount of data with more than 3 measures, right?
    PowerPivot benefits from multi-core processors, large memory and storage capacities, and a 64-bit operating system on the client computer.
    Based on my experience, large memory, multiprocessor and even
    solid state drives are benefit PowerPivot performance. Here is a blog about Memory Considerations about PowerPivot for Excel for you reference.

  • Since few days iPhone 4 suddenly uses huge amount of data and battery, how to find out which App is guilty?

    Hi Community,
    since Friday my iPhone 4 startet using huge amounts of mobile data and rapidly wastes battery lifetime (50% in 3 hous!) It also gets quite warm even when I don't use it at all.
    I suspect an app does this, because in flight mode battery is ok.
    How do I find out which app is to blame without having to uninstall all apps?
    Thanks for your help.

    You need to look into using the SQL*Loader utility:
    http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96652/part2.htm#436160
    Also, Oracle supports BULK inserts using PL/SQL procedures:

  • Data Transfer Prozess (several data packages due two huge amount of data)

    Hi,
    a)
    I`ve been uploading data from ERP via PSA, ODS and InfoCube.
    Due to a huge amount of data in ERP - BI splits those data in two data packages.
    When prozessing those data to ODS the system delete a few dataset.
    This is not done in step "Filter" but in "Transformation".
    General Question: How can this be?
    b)
    As described in a) data is split by BI into two data packages due to amount of data.
    To avoid this behaviour I enterd a few more selection criteria within InfoPackage.
    As a result I upload data a several time, each time with different selction criteria in InfoPackage.
    Finally I have the same data in ODS as in a), but this time without having data deleted in step "Transformation".
    Question: How is the general behaviour of BI when splitting data in several data packages?
    BR,
    Thorsten

    Hi All,
    Thanks a million for your help.
    My conclusion from your answers are the following.
    a) Since the ODS is Standard - within transformation no datasets are deleted but aggregated.
    b) Uploading a huge amount of datasets is possible in two ways:
       b1) with selction criteria in InfoPackage and several uploads
       b2) without selction criteria in InfoPackage and therefore an automatic split of datasets in data packages
    c) both ways should have the same result within the ODS
    Ok. Thanks for that.
    So far I have only checked the data within PSA. In PSA number of datasets are not equal for variant b1 and b2.
    Guess this is normal technical behaviour of BI.
    I am fine when results in ODS are the same for b1 and b2.
    Have a nice day.
    BR,
    Thorsten
