IPhone 5 excessive data usage - possible fix

I, like many customers here, have had a major increase in data usage with the iPhone 5. In fact I blew through 1.3 gigs of data in just a couple weeks even though I use wifi 80% of the time.
A couple days ago I restored my phone to its factory settings through iTunes, which installed a fresh version of iOS 6.0.1. This seems to have cured the problem with data and wifi. When I got the iPhone 5 I had restored it from a backup which was from my iPhone 4. Somehow installing a fresh version of iOS 6 on my phone has fixed the problem.
I’m guessing there is a glitch when installing an iPhone 4 backup onto a iPhone 5.

Did you lose anything in the process of doing that? Any tips? Appreciate the help in advance.

IPhone 5 excess data usage

Hi, we have purchased an iphone 5 plan with telstra for my daughter and in the first 4 days of plan, excess data of 7GB was recorded! I contacted Telstra and they have for a once time only waived the excess charges and data was turned off, no more data was used for month. This month, first day my daughter used 100 mb of 1GB of data allowance! I asked what she was doing and she accessed only afew websites to check when she was working which should be a few kb of data. Data has been turned of again. We are frightened to use internet on iphone 5.
My Samsung Galaxy 2 with Vodaphone I leave data on all the time and look at webites and use a few apps which need to be connected to data and have used in the last 10 days 18mb!
We are taking daughter's phone into telstra and will talk to them about either the phone or their system.
Is there a problem with iPhone 5 or is it Telstra.

There are numerous wifi problems with iOS 6. It's possible that your daughter's phone is switching from wifi to cellular and she is not noticing that. Still, that's a lot of data, so there might be something else going on. Search this forum for threads about excess data usage. There's a lot of info. Also, look at the threads listed to the right under "More Like This".

How can I reduce excessive data usage?

My wife and I recently moved to the country and have no internet available by a physical cable or wire from an ISP. Our internet service is provided through a Verizon Jetpack that we lease from Verizon. We have an iPhone 4s, iPhone 5s, an iPad 1, and an iPad 2 (both iPads are WiFi only)
Our problem is excessive data usage. Prior to our move, our iPhones each used approx .2GB per month. 16 days into our current billing month, the iPhones have each used approx 1.2GB, but our Jetpack (which creates our home WiFi for our iPads) has already used 10GB. We do not stream anything on our iPads. We use them in the evening for surfing the internet, checking Facebook, and playing Words With Friends. That's about it. The Verizon online data calculator indicates we shoud be using about 4GB per month based on our iPad usage. Yet my data usage log says that one night this week between 7:30 PM and 11:30 PM, our Jetpack used a full 1GB. Is it possible that our Jetpack is simply "burning up" GBs while we sleep?

On my iPhone 4 running iOS 6, Settings > General > Usage quotes the installed size of the apps not the data usage. I've just installed the Onavo Count which claims to record data usage of each app so one can see which the greedy ones are.

IPhone 5 - Excessive data usage and data "bleed"

We recently upgraded my daughter's phone from a Samsung to an iPhone 5, originally running iOS 6, now running iOS 7. The Samsung (Android) phone used less than .5 MB per month, whereas the iPhone 5 will consume that much data in one day. About 80% of the phone's usage is on WiFi, and is only actively used on the cellular network less than an hour a day. However, the phone and the Verizon data usage log show data being consumed even when connected continously to wifi.
With help from a Verizon representative, we turned off location services, closed all background apps and stopped automatic updates and refreshes, shut off icloud, email, and anything else that could possibly be running in the background or consuming data. The changes didn't do anything to slow the usage, and the Verizon reps suggested that my daughter was secretly using her phone in the middle of the night to play games and watch movies. At Verizon's recommendation, we signed up for parental controls, and set them to prevent the phone from being used during the school day, and at night. However, the phone and Verizon continue to show data use in tiny increments 24 hours per day. These post in the Verizon data usage logs about every 10 minutes, and are typically 10-20KB.
Using the parental controls, I set a hard data stop each week so that we could meter her data out over a month's time and prevent overages. It is supposed to stop all data usage on the phone once she reaches a preset limit. She would usually hit the 1GB limit in a day or two, but the phone and Verizon's data usage log show that the phone continues to bleed data 24 hours per day even after the limit is reached and she is unable to use her phone. Verizon can offer no explanation.
In addition to the data bleed, the actual data usage for virtually any activity that required data is substantially higher than what I would see for the same use on my iPhone 4s. For example, a couple of youtube videos played on her iPhone 5 resulted in 0.8GB being used in just a few minutes, vs about 50MB on my 4s for the same videos. Verizon seems to suggest that this is due to the higher resolution and speed, but it seems excessive.
Here's a Youtube video I found that seems to show our exact issue. We've done similar tests on our phone, with the same results.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q9AR2rEFcKk
Although it is frequently suggested that the "fix" for this problem is to turn off cellular, that hardly addresses the problem. It would also mean we have purchased a very expensive iPod.
Is there anyone who can help us address this issue? Verizon has been no help, and does not acknowledge this as an ongoing problem, despite the fact that there are countless articles, blogs, and videos online about the very same issue. We have tried a number of the "fix" recommendations we've found online, but thus far have had no success.

There's something wrong. Have you tried the 4 Rs basic troubleshooting steps?
Restart:
1. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
2. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data

IPhone 5 excessive data usage problem (carrier-AT&T)--any resolutions?

I got an iPhone 5 in June of 2013, and the billing period after I got it, I went over my data usage for the first time ever (I have been an iPhone user since 2010). I thought that it was just because I had been working out at a camp that got poor reception and had been using as much as I always did. However, in the subsequent months, I have racked up data overage charges every month, and since October, it's been several gigs over my plan. I have a 4gb plan with AT&T that I share with my parents (I am a college student), and they don't use hardly any data. As I am a nineteen-year-old, I admit that I do spend a lot of time on the Internet and use a lot of social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Vine, Snapchat, etc.), and I have always used a lot more data than my parents, but I don't think I'm doing much more than I did when I still had the iPhone 4 and 4s. I haven't gotten a chance to call AT&T yet to see what they have to say about it, and, unfortunately, my school is in the middle of nowhere and my hometown doesn't have an Apple store anywhere near it so I don't think I'll be able to get to a genius bar any time soon, but I've done a little research and found some threads here that mention problems with the iPhone 5 and data usage. Most of these threads seem to be related to Verizon or are from iOS 6 (and my phone is updated to iOS 7.0.4, which is the latest update at this date), and I wondered if it was still a problem for people.
In the past few minutes, I have done the following to the phone:
Turned off Cellular Data
Turned off iCloud Backup
Turned off Cellular Data for all unnecessary apps
Turned off Location Services for all unnecessary apps
Turned off Notifications for all unnecessary apps
Changed all email accounts to manual
Turned off Diagnostics and Usage sending
Turned off Ad Tracking
Turned off Documents and Data
Now, not to sound spoiled, but I think this is both tedious and a pain in the rear end. It seems to me like it's just treating the symptoms rather than the disease itself, so to speak. I feel that for the money we pay for what is essentially a handheld computer with phone capabilities, I should be able to use it as such. When I've turned off Cellular Data in the past to remedy this problem, I notice that I don't receive texts from a lot of people, which is really frustrating, because I feel like I basically just have a glorified iPod. If I had wanted an iPod, I would have bought an iPod. So, basically, has anyone experienced this problem recently/found a solution that actually fixes the problem rather than just masking it? I feel bad about the overage charges and am very annoyed with the fact that my old iPhone seemed to work better than this new one, and that I can't seem to find much evidence of either Apple or AT&T making much of an effort to acknowledge or fix this expensive problem. My phone reports that my cellular data usage for the current period (which ends on February 11, and it is currently January 28) is 21 GB, and I find it very hard to believe this to be true.
I'm about to reset my phone and see if that does anything, but I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out here.
Thanks.

I'm not trying to minimize your issues, but I have an iPhone 5S and find that I have not had these types of problems on AT&T. I'm wonding if something has gotten stuck in a loop that is continually trying to use data. If you make a good backup of your phone, try restoring it as new, and do not add anything to the phone right away. Let the device run like this for a little while and see what kind of usage you have. You report you phone is showing usage of 21GB. Did you rese this setting on the phone to begin at your billing period? The reason I ask this is some people believe this setting resets on its own with your billing period, it does not. This has to be manually reset by the user, so it might not be that accurate depending on the last time that you reset it.
If the phone seems to not use so much extra data during the period the device does not have extra apps on it, then try restoring from your backup and see what happens. If this increases your data usage quite fast again, then there is probably something corrupt in the backup that is causing this issue.

Iphone 6 plus excessive data usage

I got a iPhone 6 plus about too weeks ago. I realise I have been using a lot of data compared to my previous Samsung ativ. Previously I was using about 500-700mb a month on a 1gb data plan. I signed Vodafone for a 1.5gb data plan thinking it should be enough, only 4 days into my month I have already gone through 300mb with minimal usage. I have already turned off Itune updates, Icloud, background app refresh and I even tried turning off 4g. It is still using a lot of data, I have been tracking where the excessive data is coming from. Safari is the main course, I would go into 5-10 webpages and it would use 3-6mb and Facebook nearly uses 1mb for a refresh update. Everything else seem to be quite normal usage except those 2apps. I have tried restoring the phone to factory and restore my backup. At the moment it seems like Facebook seem to use a bit less but Safari is still the same. What can I do?

I did not see how to edit my post. I'm on Verizon. I have tried on Wifi and on cell tower. I can get on safari with no problem. I'm using ISO 8.1

ITunes Match/iOS 7 iPhone music workaround for excessive data usage?

I just got an email from AT&T indicating I had exceeded 150GB of home data usage this month. It was because I used my home wifi to download 5000 songs to my iPhone from iTunes Match to fill it.
I'm frustrated, since it used to be so easy to make iTunes Match work for a large amount of music: In iOS 6 what I used to do (if I had to restore iPhone and set up as new phone): Plug iPhone 5 into computer, set up phone as new, check "manually manage music and videos" and "prefer 128kbps" and make sure iTunes Match was off in phone settings. Then drag & drop 5000 songs (about 40GB) from iTunes into phone. Once that was completed (a couple of hours), I could disconnect the iPhone from my Mac, turn iTunes Match to "on" in phone settings, and I'd get a message on the phone saying "All music on this device will be replaced" which is fine, but other than taking a while to update the remainder of my iCloud stored music, it used very little data.
Fast-forward to this past weekend. After updating to iOS 7.0.2 and having to do a restore and set up as new iPhone, this approach didn't work: When the step came "All music on this device will be replaced," all of the 5000 songs entirely re-downloaded all over again, which took 27 hours and burned through 40+ GB of home data (not phone data, since I was on Wifi). I kept my phone at home, plugged in and on wifi all weekend so as not to burn through all of my LTE data.
What is the deal? If I have to do this again (let's hope iOS 7.0.3 or 7.1 doesn't force my phone into recovery mode again), I certainly don't have the time or patience to let iTunes Match redownload all music again, and I certainly don't want to use up 40+ GB of home data.
Is there a workaround for this? Have others been successful transferring music via computer first and then turning on Match without problem in iOS 7.0.2? I'm sure it worked that way in iOS 6, and without completely redownloading all the music again, since that process would have taken several hours and a lot of home data, and I have not had any problems like this prior to iOS 7.

I think a better question is why do you "have to" restore your iPhone and set it up as a new device as often as you seem to? This seems to be more of a problem for you.
I followup question is why do you have iTunes Match turned on if you're syncing all your music to your iPhone?
Perhaps you should examine how you're using your iPhone and iTunes Match?

To answer this question, yes I have. It has always worked this way for me.

Iphone 5 Excessive Data Usage Mapping Services

I have had my Iphone 5 since December 2013. Recently I have been having problems with my cellular data usage where my phone will use more than 900mb a day. After investigating the issue I noticed that the biggest problem is mapping services. This was not making sense as frequent location settings and all location settings are switched off. I went to my service provider MTC (This is the service provider in Namibia, Africa) and they advised me to upgrade to IOS 7.1.2. According to them Apple has made more services available on our carrier and that I needed the newest IOS to be able to manage these services.
I have updated my IOS to 7.1.2 yesterday 28 July at 12:00. Since then till yesterday afternoon at 17:00 my phone used over 500mb of which 418mb was for system services which after investigation revealed that 415mb was for mapping services. The location settings and frequent location settings are still switch off, but I am still using data for mapping services. The data in Namibia is not the cheapest and this has caused me to have to switch off my cellular data to ensure that I don't run my cellphone bill through the roof. I am now sitting with an equivalent of a Nokia 3310 as I can only sms and phone from my Iphone. I do not have access to WIFI so using that is not an option.
I have a friend with a Iphone 5S and one with and Iphone 4 and they do not seem to have the same problem as I do. Is it only Iphone 5?
If anyone has the same problem, I hear that it is also the case in South Africa, please help me make it heard by Apple or give me a solution if you have one.

I see about 500MB for "Time & Location" tracking. You can check here: Mobile Network -> System tasks -> Time & Location (roughly translated from German iOS 7 menu. Can someone please write down the correct english menu entries?).
I believe it is the Google App (https://itunes.apple.com/de/app/id284815942?mt=8), which is tracking me (https://maps.google.com/locationhistory/b/0). I like beeing tracked since i'm sometimes curious where i have spent my time;). But 500MB is far too much - i have only 1GB per month.

IPhone 5 excessive data usage recently?

I have never come close to using my 4gb data plan but in the last week, my phone is using (receiving) nearly 1gb of data a day. While at home and work i'm on wifi which leaves the minimal driving time in between on a LTE network. AT&T said they had a meeting with Apple and that Apple is aware of a data leak. I replaced my iPhone and the same thing. Any suggestions?

Exessive iphone 5 data usage on Telstra?

I'm getting excessive usage on the new IOS6, Iphone 5, approx 700 in 7 days.
Comparable to my previous IOS5, Iphone 4 - my monthly data back then was approx 200-400MB per month.
7 days into my new Iphone 5 (LTE disabled also) i'm getting approx 700MB of downloads when most of the time the phone is either idle at night or sync'd to a wifi network with 30mbps+ download speeds.
Of course the main usage is streaming video from youtube, to which i've kept to minimum however there is usage that I cannot explain in general.
Carrier states no issue with their end.
At this stage the monthly usage will be approx 3GB which is 7.5 times greater than previous hardware/ios.
Potential issues:
1. the new youtube (non ingegrated) app may not compress like the previous integrated ios5 youtube one perhaps did using international video compression standards (i'm not sure if it did however). i.e. on the 28th Sept 5-7 x 2min videos on chewed through approx 184mb of data.
2. the iphone is not using wifi as the main preference or is switching between 3G/LTE and wifi for various applications
3. excessive & heavy payloaded application polling from the iphone
I cannot see any threads that suggest a fix other than downloading a compression cloud service app like Onavo - not a great solution. Even then this doesnt compress streaming services like facetime or youtube.
I can understand a new phone, with new tech requiring greater bandwidth however the % jump is very exessive. Many users will be unaware of this and Telstra customers potentially getting charted at 2$AUD per MB after thier plan data allowance; thats $2000 per GB!.
Any ideas on the root cause of this problem?

Data usage is being displayed on my screen everytime some data is used. The screen reads- ur last data session usage was ,foe example, 1.540MB.

Excess data usage on my from my with pre-paid 3G Wi Fi

I am tearing my hair out with an excess data issue; I hope someone can help me out. I'm using a 3G WiFi on my laptop and over the last week and a half, my data usage has been very high, as have my total hours for a 24-hour period. I've been taking detailed notes about my log on and log off times as well as the data used during the time I'm logged on and since June 26 and I've discovered that I am being charged for time and data even while I am not online. I've now spoken to four different people on the phone at Telstra about this issue. The first two times, I was compensated for this: once with extra credit, the other with extra data; these are a good help for the problem that has happened, but moving forward it doesn't fix the problem of being charged for time and data that I haven't used. And continuously being overcharged makes me cross. Has anyone experienced something similar? I've been on this pre-paid broadband since March and everything had been great - $50 managed to last me the whole month, even as a student, being online most of the day, but from June 22 it started chewing up my data without explanation--I'm on semester break and am not online much at all, so I don't understand. Here's an example:July 1: logged off at 11:12pm - data usage was 180MB - total hours was 8:08:00 (which was already 3 hours more than I had actually been on for the day).July 2: logged on and checked the previous day's data and hours - data usage was 491MB - total hours was 12:02:37! How does this happen? The WiFi was not connected to my laptop (I manually connect and have automatic WiFI connection turned off), my laptop was shut down, and I was asleep! How did the connection manage to use and extra 300MB data over an additional 4 hours? Has something changed? I need to fix this. I've put a complaint into the ombudsman about it.

Hey Sirdal,
I understand that your pre-paid Wi-Fi 4G service seems to be using up a lot of your data allowance from the time that you recharge your in the last 2 recharges.
This is definitely worth investigating but please also bear in mind that the rates of your data iis dependent on the previous data plan you've recharged on.
So if you've changed from a $20 recharge to $30 recharge, you need to disconnect from the internet before reconnecting in order to reset the rate of your data charge to what is equivalent for the $30 recharge because if you've not refreshed your connection since the $20 recharge, you will be charged the same rate as if you were on the $20 rechage rather than the $30 recharge which means that your allowance will be used up more than what it should be. I hope this makes sense Sirdal.

Ipad2 5.0.1 excessive data usage

Wondering if 5.0.1 fixes any bugs around increased data usage. Since I upgraded my Ipad 2, my data usage has significantly increased. I did enable locate my ipad, but I did not expect such a jump in data usage. I have not been near my 250Mb limit in any of the previous months. Since my upgrade to 5, I am near my limit after 2 and 1/2 weeks into the new month.
I found some information about this and it suggested I delete my iCloud account, which I did. But now I don't have the ability to located my iPad - bummer.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks.

More troubling is that you can't use any of the new icloud features so widely touted.
I have the same issue and I ran some tests that concluded deleting the icloud account from the device is the only way:
Spent a day testing and have conclusive results.
Headline is this:
iCloud (with all its switches off) consumes 3G data all the time wifi is unavailable.
It can be around 2k every 10 seconds. Easily reaching 20MB over a typical day with typical time away from WiFi.
The only way to stop 3G data consumption is to delete the icloud account from the phone.
This is with 5.0.1 on an iPhone 3GS 16MB. (Black :)
This took a day to test because I switched off everything else one by one and it had no effect, until I deleted the icloud account. So I removed all the location services, I deleted a load of my subscribed calendars, I removed the Reminders that were linked to my email account. I took off everything I could manage and there was no effect.
I have an experiment that is really easy to reproduce Wherever you are:
Switch off wifi so your phone is only using 3G
Go to Settings, General, Usage, Cellular Usage
Press Reset Statistics to get cellular data sent and received to zero
Go back a screen
Count to ten
Press Cellular Usage again
Look at the stats now and it will have gone up by anywhere from 1 to 20 kBytes
Repeat this by going back a screen, waiting, and returning to the cellular usage screen.
Each time your data usage will go up by that amount.
I varied this out for a long time, switching something else off each time, and usually switching the phone off and on too, to ensure the thing I switched took effect.
I left icloud till the end, though switching off the icoud settings was the first set of tests followed by switching off all the location and system services.
It was only when I deleted the icloud account from the phone that the data consumption stopped. I left it then for minutes and got no further increase. Leaving it longer caused some increase due to checking mail over the air, but nothing like the rate with icloud on.
I then added icloud back to my phone and ran the test again. Data consumption as back up to its high level and only stopped when I deleted the icloud account again.
I'm in no doubt now that having icloud signed in on the phone is what's caused my 3G data usage to rocket ever since I installed iOS5 (and 5.0.1)
If anyone has any further insight into this, or even if you have repeated my test above, with same or different results, then please do let me know.

'Media services' excessive data usage

Does anybody know what the 'Media Services' relates to in data usage?
It is located in Settings>Mobile>System Services.
I updated to IOS 8.1 last night and when leaving the wifi network at home today and going on to 4G my phone went through it's entire battery and 2.5gb of data (my entire cap) in around half a day. The only culprit I can identify is 'Media Services' which is showing a usage of 3.6gb total.
Does anybody know what might have caused this and more importantly how to stop it, otherwise it is going to get expensive quickly!
Im using an iPhone 5, 32gb on IOS 8.1.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for filling us in on the details, dejerru. With the new phones, some settings are definitely different but can be changed to provide you with more options to manage your usage. Let's start by going into Settings > Cellular and scrolling down. What are some of your highest data usage apps listed? You can turn cellular data off for apps you only plan to use from WiFi to avoid the phone switching to cellular when dormant or WiFi signal gets weaker. Also, do you use the Facebook application or watch any videos?

OS X Mail - excess data usage

I have been struggling with extreme data usage - approaching the 300GB/mo Comcast allotment. I do not stream HD content or play multi-player games, etc, the normal drivers of high data usage. Other investigation of Wi-Fi looking for pirates, etc show no unexpected devices using my modem/router. I closed the router firewall to bittorrent, kazaa, etc. I finally noticed in the Network tab of the Activity Monitor that Mail was the highest consumer of inbound data, to the tune of 250 KB/sec, which can pile up a GB pretty fast! Restarting Mail clears the problem. I finally was watching the monitor while moving through mail messages and when I hit an HTML message with several images, there was a long pause trying to display the message content and eventually just broken images displayed - and usage went to the ~250 KB/sec level! Going to another message and returning to the "trigger" message showed the images fine, so they HAD been downloaded/cached, but perhaps Mail doesn't know it and is in a retry loop? Usage stays at this level until Mail is restarted, then all is well, even when going back to the trigger message (as expected due to caching).
This is occurring on an iMac running Yosemite, but I have NOT observed the same behavior (yet?) on MacBook running Yosemite with same Mail config. My usage has been high for several months, but I had not investigated until recently. I had been using Postbox as my mail agent since Mavericks due to the IMAP issues with Gmail. Since Yosemite seems to have solved that I switched back to Mac Mail. A Comcast level 2 agent said he had heard of some data-loop issue with Mailplane - another Gmail client app for OS X. Since I do not/had not used Mailplane, I discounted that cause, but it eventually made me wonder and now this issue has surfaced. Current Mail config has 1 iCloud, 1 Exchange, 3 IMAP Gmail and 1 IMAP Comcast accounts defined. The trigger message was in a Gmail account, so is that the common denominator??
Is anyone else seeing this behavior? Any ideas for a solution?

The iOS view vs classic view in Mail is not the problem; I've already configured for classic view.
Mountain Lion itself is.
My short list (to date) of crappy Mountain Lion behavior; items marked with a double asterisk (**)represent the worst of Mountain Lion for me.
** No up/down arrows in scroll bar slider;
Expose` not as easy to navigate as in Snow Leopard;
Mail does not request passwords for either receive or send;
No "Save Draft" icon in Mail compose window (workaround: use command-s);
"Save As" selection missing in most app menus;
No separate Search window in Safari (workaround: use Firefox or Opera);
** Can't export Mail from Mountain Lion into Snow Leopard if downgrading (I compiled this list before I stumbled on the method in this thread, but I'd prefer to effect this with Unix symbolic links);
iWork 09 seems to have "circled the wagons" re compatibility with MS Office or LibreOffice (workaround: just use Libreoffice);

What is up with the excessive data usage with 5s

I just updated from a 4 to a 5s. My data usage has always been under 500MB. The data usage has exploded to almost 2G in the last two days since the upgrade. What the heck is going on with that????!!!!

Faster bandwidth equals higher quality graphics and video resolutions.
Check your cellular data settings and see which applications are using the most data.
