IPhone sending lots of data

This has been bugging me for about two weeks now: I first noticed that my battery (iPhone 4S) drained a lot faster, it lasts only 10 hrs with moderate use now. Then my provider cut me off of 3G because I had reached my 1 GB quota before the end of the month, which never happened before unless I watched a lot of video (which I didn't in January.)
So I started metering my data usage. For February, so far I have used:
Download: 718 MB wireless, 143 MB cellular
Upload: 496 MB wireless, 93 MB cellular
That means I sent almost 600 MB of data. I neither uploaded big files nor sent emails with big attachments. So I'm wondering what could be the culprit for that much data traffic. I know that's hard to answer if you don't know my configuration and apps. I can only say I didn't use the phone a lot. Is there an app that meters traffic for every app? I have DataMan, but that only shows me the overall usage.
P.S.: I only noticed now that I still had a personal hotspot turned on for the last week but I didn't connect to it (and am quite confident that nobody else did.) Could that be the reason at least for the last week?

Use activity monitor to find out which app is causing the problems (I can't give a detailed procedure right now because I'm in my linux partition). It is likely that McAfee is causing the spike because McAfee is that awesome.

  • I recently got the iPhone 4s, but my iPod has a lot of apps with a lot of data on them and don't want to start over. I already synced my iPhone from the computer that had all my apps from my iPod, how do i transfer the data over, the other apps did.

    If I wiped my phone I wouldn't have the contacts on my phone to send to my self.    I would need to take just the contacts from my back up. I would have to do this through iTunes and I don't see how I can just extract the contacts only from my back up. From what I can figure out it is all or nothing

    Hi,
    >>A CHAR datatype and VARCHAR2 datatype are stored identically (eg: the word 'WORD' stored in a CHAR(4) and a varchar2(4) consume exactly the same amount of space on disk, both have leading byte counts).

    I've recently lost lots of data and purchases due to Iphone 4 crashing... Surely there is a way to recover "lost" music, apps, and audiobooks which I PURCHASED from ITunes in the last 1.5 months...? Greatly appreciate any suggestions or direction in this matter!

  • Does the iPhone send street addresses over bluetooth to cars?

    I've searched a lot and found answers that say it's the iPhone, it's the car, or both. I've not seen any concrete answers either way with definitive information though. This is dealing with the MyGig system. I saw the other post mentioning MyGig and read through the comments, but unless I missed it, I acknowledge is quite possible, I didn't see anything addressing the issue I'm talking about.
    I have no problems getting the phone numbers & names, but I just cannot get the address over. This makes the GPS aspect completely useless. I'd hate to have to disable the bluetooth contact export option and use the system's internal phone book just to get this to work. So my question is, has anyone had any success with their iPhone sending contacts to their car? It doesn't have to be a MyGig system, if it works with any system that would make me think that it's a compatibility between the two and not just a gross oversight of Apple with what the iPhone should be able to do.

    when i was running 4.3.x on my iphone 4 i noticed that from time to time the wifi would actually mysteriously disconnect and my iphone 4 would not try to reconnect just continue to do whatever it was doing, like watching videos on 3g gobbling up my data plan. it became so frequent i turned off cellular data entirely. since i went to ios 5 i have not seen this problem come back. even on wifi if you turn off cellular data you don't get visual voice mail!! hmm
    maybe if see a genius they might be able to explain what is going on
    i complained to at&t and they gave me a one time credit and removed the overage charges on my account

  • Why is my iphone 3gs using excessive data?

    why is my iphone 3gs using excessive data?

    Check your (push) notifications.
    Settings > Notifications > Look at what applications are pushing information to your phone. Turn off the applications' notifications that you don't care about.
    Settings > Email > Check how often your phone is checking email and sending it to you. Push will use the most data. Data usage goes down from there.
    Check your running applications.
    From your home screen, double-press the home (physical) button > Hold down an icon until they shake and the "X"s appear on their corners. Hit the "X"s to close out the application.
    Some applications can continue to use your data while running the background even though you are not actively using the application.
    Are you using YouTube?
    YouTube, and any other video application, uses a lot of data.
    Are you using Pandora?
    Music applications can also use up data though not as much as video.

  • Iphone 5s and "forced data useage"

    Hi all,
    I was an android guy for years but finally went for an iphone 5s this time around and signed up with Verizon for the new $45 plan. Unltd Text, talk, and 250MB of data or AKA "The Wifi Only Plan." I came from metro PCS and enjoyed the same deal, but now I get with a better carrier with better coverage. I am fine with a low data amount plan because I have wifi at home and work. But this iphone 5s is forcing me to use data and I believe that it is not fair and want a rep to chime in on this situation. Some of the points may be able to be fixed on my end - so let me know how, but i think most are in a catch 22.
    1) Most importantly... Voicemail. I go to the voicemail icon on my phone and if my cellur data is disabled... then I can not reach it. This forces me to turn on my data just to fetch voicemail which is a basic service and should be inclusive into my unlimited voice portion of the plan. Is there a way in the iphone 5s to get around this?
    2) iMessage. This is sent across the data line of the carrier. I have had a few problems sending and receiving messages iphone to iphone because I have supposedly turned the data feature to iMessage off. Not good, not reliable service.
    3) System Services. Eventhough it is only KBs of data it is still my data pool and should not have to pay for the auto system services that run on the phone. If I can control this on Iphone, lemme know where, but it seems that if I turn my data on for my phone these will auto send and receive data to where as individual apps I can block.
    Also is there a data warning text I can receive when I get close to my monthly alotment?

    I'm not a rep, but ....
    1. Dial *86 instead of using the built in Visual Voice Mail.
    2. Don't use iMessage. Unassociate your device with iMessage. Turn it off and just use SMS.
    3. You can't change that.  And as you noted, it doesn't use much data.
    Yes.  Log in to your My Verizon account you can set data alerts.

  • Always used 1 main account.  Started using individual user accounts. So how do I use software or applications with a lot of data like Quicken under my own user account?

    I recently upgraded our family's mac to OS X.  I thought this was the perfect time to create and use "user accounts".  We had always used 1 main account.  So how do I use software or applications with a lot of data like Quicken under my own user account?  I wanted to be able to manage my own itunes library, iphone apps, messages.  But I still really need to use the Stuff I have in Quicken essentials.  I don't want to have to restart all my work done in Quicken already.

    I haven't used Quicken in a while, but most applications store your files in your Documents folder. Is that where your Quicken data file is? What you do next depends on how many family members need to get at that data.
    If multiple family members need to use the Quicken data file, try moving it to the Documents folder in the Shared account. That is an account that all accounts can see. It's at the same level as the other accounts. In other words, Shared is one level up from your Home account, or Hard Drive/Users/Shared.
    If you're the only one allowed to see that Quicken data, move the Quicken data file from the old main account to your account, and don't leave a copy behind. You can use the Shared folder as a way station for the transfer since you won't be able to see both accounts' Documents folders at the same time (because you're not allowed to peek into other people's accounts). Or you can use another disk or server for the transfer, as long as you can get to it when logged into either account.

  • Under my website data (Settings, Safari, Advanced) there are websites using a lot of data which I have never visited before. Several of these listed sites are for tracking internet usage.  Has my phone been compromised? Is there any other explanation?

    I have recently discovered a website called bluecava operating on my iphone 4s, according to my website data log.  I've never been to this site, but according to my data log this site is using a lot of data, along with other sites which I have never visited before. Does anyone know anything about bluecava (I've done my research, but I'm not finding information about individuals using this to track someone), or have any other explanation for seeing un-visited sites on my data log?
    Someone recently mentioned phone "cloning" to me, meaning that my iphone may be accessed remotely.  Any information is greatly appreciated!

    Thanks a ton!  Yeah, I didn't know about any of this until I had reason for legitimate concern.  People should be aware of what's available.  Someone intent on tracking you won't mind paying bluecava to do it for them...
    I'll definitely be updating my browser as well.  However, Lawrence, I did find during my research that bluecava DOES NOT operate based on cookies.  It uses your IP address to consistently track patterns of behavior, even
    within multiple devices of one household, so that deterring the tracking is not as simple as turning off cookies to a site.  (See screenshot below from bluecava.com)
    If you go to the bluecava site's privacy policy, you can actually opt-out, however, blogs have criticized bluecava for not explaining exactly what happens when a user opts-out.  It may be beyond our control...

  • My iphone is eating up data quickly. Help

    I upgraded to iphone 4 on Thursday and in less than 48 hours I've managed to use nearly a 100mb of data. The only apps I've downloaded (downloaded from pc not directly off phone) are BBC news, facebook, live profile, met office.
    I've switched location data off, pushed notifications - every possible thing.
    If i log into facebook, check status updates it uses nearly 0.5 megabyte everytime. So if i'm on facebook app for 2 minutes it uses about 2mb :S
    I close every app by double cliking the home button every time. i've reset to factory settings even and it still happens. Even if i go on BBC news, it takes a lot of data.
    I dont stream videos, download music - i cant enjoy my new phone. I know i can connect to wi-fi, but thats not the point. I cant use my phone on the go cos i'm scared of reaching my 500mb limit with Vodfaone soon.
    Nobody at vodafone knows why, even though they admit it unusualy high usage for what i used it for. Help please!
    as i said location services and everything is switched off!

    anyone?

  • Empty file picked although file have lot of data in file adapter SAP PI

    Hello All,
    We are facing the weired behaviour of SAP PI file adapter channel.
    In without mapping Scenario of 7.31
    At some time whole file is archived properly in archive folder but in SAP PI log we can see the file size 0 bytes.
    And at received side empty file will be sent.
    But in actual there is lot of data in the file.
    The same file triggered next time then it working fine.archived and sent as it is.
    So can anybody help me for this ?what is the issue why sometime file with no data is  picked by PI?
    If file is pick up by PI before it is written completely by third party then is it possible that archived file will have all data as it although processed empty ?
    Thanks in advance,
    Anant

    Hi,
    Thanks for reply.
    I know this is common issue of file picking before completing the process of file writting and also i can use Msec to wait before modification check for avoiding this but
    my question is how the archived folder have the file with all data that sender is sending.
    So is it possible that empty file (before compete writting )is picked up by sap pi and then after completing the picking process it will archive the file that is completely written by third party in source folder.
    In other way file picking & File archiving is separate process means file that is picked is not archived but once pi processed the file then it will again check the source folder and archive and delete the same file.
    Thanks

  • Iphone 5c time and date not working right

    hi guys I would really appreciate your help if you have any information or similarities on this.
    I have an iPhone 5c and the date and time are both lacking, I don't know what is wrong and can I fix it? its also messing with my 3g and wifi
    thanks,
    gem.

    This same problem has happened again a few times. Tech support says the problem is the cmos battery and I need to send it in to get it fixed. Well, this is my only laptop so I cannot be without it for a few weeks so I can't do that.
    This is extremely frustrating because this laptop was purchased less than a year ago. Why is this happening? I had my previous Dell laptop for 6 years and never had an issue like this. This is unacceptable to me. If I could still return it, I would have.

  • Sending user text data

    Hi everyone. I am not certain if I am in the correct section.
    I have a website designed in Flash. The site has a contact
    section with 3 fields (name, e-mail and message). Having completed
    these fields one would click "submit" to send the entered data to a
    text file which resides on a Linux (Apache) based server.
    My question is... What action statement do I need to
    configure?
    Any help \ suggestions will be appreciated.
    Regards
    Fred

    You'll need to send the data, from Flash, to a server-side
    script for
    processing. That can be done in PHP, ASP or others. Have a
    look at the
    LoadVars class in the help - the sendAndLoad method has a
    nice example you
    should be able to use to get started. For tutorials, search
    for 'forms in
    flash', this gets asked about a lot, so there's a good deal
    of info.

  • My iPhone 4S register 3G data traffic even if all the app are closed

    My iPhone 4S registers 3G data traffic even if all the apps are closed: whenever I'm not under wi-fi I see the 3G icon lighted up whenever I go trough set icon, or calendar or message device...even if all these utilities doesn't require 3G data. If I just check mobile data consumption I see it increasing of few KB per time.
    I don't have neither push notifications nor location on, just I don't understand this phenomenon.
    Please...forgive me for my English...I'm writing from Italy and it's not so easy to explain what I'm talking about.

    I got...but whenever I open the setting icon, I see 3G becoming lit up and colored and..if I check "mobile data consumption" I can find out that this figure increases each time I check it...just going out and into again this section of the settings. Each time I send a message via SMS I see 3G icon colored and lit up again...even if I'm not using any data connection!!!!To avoid the problem I shut down mobile data conncetion when I don't need it and when I'm not under wi-fi...so I can't tell how much is the 3G traffic data generated during one day.
    Just I wanted to understand if there's a different method to avoid it...
