Large data usage transfer every 6 hours while on a WiFi network, who is doing this transfer? Is Verizon polling my phone causing this usage?

I have three iPhone 5s. All are using my WiFi while at home. One iPhone is sending data over Verizon's network, not WiFi, every 6 hours or so. The time of this data transfer changes every few days. I see data usage number on my Verizon account ranging from a few kilobytes to almost a gigabyte. Is this due to Verizon polling the iPhone for data usage and billing purposes on a regular basis? And what do these billing numbers mean? Where does Verizon get these numbers? Any running apps while on my WiFi should use the WiFi, not Verizon, correct?

I'm having the same issue and this month these data pulls equated to 1891.51 MB!!!
Model: iPhone 5S 64GB.  Today I received a notification from Verizon that I had exceeded my data plan.  I just went through my entire usage detail report on my phone and separated-out everything that appears to be part of a 6-hour pattern.  When I'm at home and most of the time while I'm at work, I am connected to wifi.  These data pulls often happen in the middle of the night, when I know for a fact that my phone is charging and connected to wifi at home.  Below are the results of the pattern analysis.  Keep in mind that I removed all lines that, as far as I could tell, were not part of a 6-hour pattern.
THE PROOF: You sent me three alerts immediately after pulling data from my phone.
The first alert said that I had used 75% of my data plan on 8/11/2014 at 9:45pm while I was at home on wifi.  There was a data pull logged at 9:45pm which was part of the 6-hour pattern above.
The second alert stated that I had used 90% of my data at 10:46pm on 8/14/2014; the data log shows a pull just before the alert at 10:45pm.
The third alert telling me I had used all of my data came today while my phone was sitting next to me, connected to wifi at the office.  The alert arrived at 12:48pm, the log shows a data pull at 12:48pm.

How about an explanation Verizon?

  • IPhone uploaded 12 gigs over wifi in 5 hours while not in use, what could be doing it?

    The other day I saw that I was over quota on the wireless network on campus, so I went looking for the reason.  Since I work for the tech department at the school, I loaded up my history... apparently my iphone uploaded 12 gigs in 5 hours, while it was just sitting at my desk unused!
    What kind of crazy app uploads that much?
    When I'm not using the iphone and leave the phone on my desk on wifi it seems to upload a lot.  Last week apparently 4 gigs in 1.5 hours and now 12 gigs in 5 hours, insane!
    I cannot for the life of me imagine what could require that kind of upload.
    And completely offball also... 4 gigs DOWN during those same 5 hours!!!  I wasn't on youtube, I wasn't on itunes, I wasn't on the app store... the phone was just sitting there.
    It seems rather insane to me.   Anyone have a similar experience or have any clue why this might be happening?
    (iOS 4.3.3, iPhone 4)
    Oh, and tethering/personal hotstop was turned off.

    Have you tried downloading some data tracking apps on the iphone itself?
    I installed 3 different ones, two of which track while running on the iphone.  All three reported under 100 megs wifi usage while the university network yet again reported gigs up and down in under 2 hours (12 gigs down, 8 gigs up).  I've contacted them and they're looking into it because the discrepancy is insane. 
    Maybe you should try tracking with both the router and on the iphone itself.
    What I find amusing is that my phone doesn't even use 1 gig a month on 3G (and I use my phone a lot).  Also my home wifi usage is nothing like that reported by my university... if I did 12 gigs per day at home, I'd be using our cable bandwidth cap all by my lonesome... which doesn't happen.
    I'm starting to think the iPhone in 4.3.X does some weird stuff that makes some monitoring tools to mis-report data usage. 

  • How do I share wifi data between iMac and windows based computer on wifi network?

    I have an unsecured wifi network at home and need to easily share photos between computers>  I have an iMac and a couple window based computer> Is ther an easy way instead of using a thumb drive?

    Since photos are typically large files it will probably be quicker with the thumb drive. The other way is to set up sharing where the files are located and directing the other computers to look there.

  • WIFI and mobile data connections not connecting with any other outside WIFI networks. Bluetooth not working in car. Any solution?

    After installed iOS7 I am facing the following two problems:
    1. WIFI as well as mobile data connection are working fine at my home. But, not connecting with any other outside WIFI networks. Error message is 'unable to join network'. Mobile data also not connected outside my home. Sometimes wifi and mobile data connect outside my home when I turn off and on the phone.
    2. Bluetooth, in my car, paires well and incoming and out going calls can be received and made. The problem is no sound out put from speakers.

  • Mail app connection failures while using different WiFi network

    I have four email accounts (hotmail, yahoo, gmail, and icloud) set up through the mail app that all work as expected while on my home WiFi network.  These accounts all fail to connect, however, whenever I am connected to my university's wireless.  The accounts have connected successfully on campus in the past, and broke around the time I upgraded to Lion.  What actions should I take to get my mail client up and running while at school?

  • When I transfer a playlist which I modified song ending times, it does not transfer to idvd project. Any suggestions?

    When I transfer a playlist, where I modified the songs ending times, it does not transfer as edited to my idvd slide show project. It reverts back to original song times. I am trying to edit songs to match slide show segments.
    Any suggestions?

    Use Garageband to edit the songs. Save them as new files for use with your slide show.  The modifications made in iTunes do not modify the song files, they only tell iTunes how to play the songs.

  • Why is the purge command running every hour, and freezing my system?

    I noticed over the past several days that my mac pro will freeze for several seconds (clock stops, mouse/keyboard don't work. completely frozen) every hour, to the minute.
    I've tracked it down to the "purge" command, which is causing the problem.  But, I can't find where it's being called.  Any hints where I might look to find the cause?
    I don't believe this was happening a few days ago. I have installed all software updates.
    I'm running 10.7.5 on a 2x2.66Ghz 6-core mac pro.
    Thanks!

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software — potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions — they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac. 
    These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing. 
    Below are instructions to enter some UNIX shell commands. The commands are harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of the procedure suggested here, search this site for other discussions in which it’s been followed without any report of ill effects. 
    Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then copy it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands. 
    Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply. 
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways: 
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.) 
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens. 
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid. 
    When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign. 
    Step 1 
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it:
    kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/{printf "%s %s\n", $6, $7}' 
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Then click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered. You can do that by copying and pasting as well. Omit the final line ending in “$”. No typing is involved in this step.
    Step 2 
    Repeat with this line:
    sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.(apple|openssh|vix)|edu\.mit|org\.(amavis|apache|cups|isc|ntp|postfix|x)/{print $3}' 
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which you do have to type. It won't be displayed when you type it. Type it carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. Heed that warning, but don't post it. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. 
    Note: If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before taking this step. If that’s not possible, skip to the next step. 
    Step 3
    launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple|edu\.mit|org\.(x|openbsd)/{print $3}' 
    Step 4
    ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Spo,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null  
    Important: If you formerly synchronized with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, anonymize it before posting. 
    Step 5
    osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get name of every login item' 2> /dev/null 
    Remember, steps 1-5 are all copy-and-paste — no typing, except your password. Also remember to post the output. 
    You can then quit Terminal.

    Hi,
    I haven't tested the specific code below, but here how it would go.
    In a Page Load process, Before or After Header, write a PL/SQL Block that creates and loads the CLOB into the collection
    declare
      l_clob clob;
    begin
      -- wipe out if already exists and creates new empty collection
      apex_collection.create_or_truncate_collection('LOBCOLLECTION');
      for r in ( select * from remote_tab@db_link ) loop
        apex_collection.add_member('LOBCOLLECTION', p_clob001 => r.clob_column);
       -- loads the clobs one by one from the cursor
    end loop;
    end;Once this is done you can query the collections using the code below
    select clob001 from apex_collections where collection_name = 'LOBCOLLECTION'Regards,

    Hi,
    If I use read-only classes with CursoredStream and execute the query within UOW, should I be saving any memory?
    I had to use UOW because when I use Session to execute the query I get
    6115: ISOLATED_QUERY_EXECUTED_ON_SERVER_SESSION
    Cause: An isolated query was executed on a server session: queries on isolated classes, or queries set to use exclusive connections, must not be executed on a ServerSession or in CMP outside of a transaction.
    I assume marking the descriptor as read-only will avoid registering in UOW, but I want to make sure that this is the case while using CursoredStream.
    We are running in OC4J(OAS10.1.3.4) with BeanManagedTransaction.
    Please suggest.
    Thanks

  • Data being sent out every hour

    We have an iphone 4s that is sending data out every hour. We noticed it when our data plan used 3G in 3 days! Any suggestions on why this is occuring, before we take the phone in the Apple store?

    You have an app that is using data. If you are going by the carrier's report you don't know if it is sending or receiving, as most carriers lump all data together. You need to use the Usage info in Settings/General/Usage.
    The built in apps get small amounts of data on a periodic basis, but it is a few KB. Anything more than that is either email or some other app. Music streaming apps could use that much, and the do not terminate when you exit them. Facebook can use a lot of data if you subscribe to a lot of notifications.

  • Large data transfers in early morning hours putting me over my data limit

    I am getting large data transfers labeled Intranet Media Net from two different Iphones in my home.   These transfers occur typically in the early morning hours when we are sleeping and when we should be connected to Wifi.  ATT suggested that I turn off the option to send updates to Apple, which I did.  However, the charges are still occuring.  Last night a 35MB transfer has nearly put my daughter's phone over her 200 MB limit.  ATT suggested that I turn off cellular data to eliminate these from occuring, but that seems silly.  Plus, who is to say that they won't occur when I turn cellular on, in order to use data when I am outside of a Wifi area?  Any help would be much appreciated.  I don't know if this is an Apple issue or an ATT issue.

    How do you get logs out of a TC anyway?
    From the latest one you cannot.. no logs at all so that is the direction Apple is moving.. the black box.. well white box that you feed this into and get that out of.. but all the works inside are complete mystery.. that is the end point.. not quite there yet.
    Logs from v5 utility or SNMP.. both still working on any of the earlier TC.
    You can install v5 on Mountain Lion.
    How to load 5.6 into ML.
    1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
    Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
    Leave the package open on the desktop so you can see the file. AirportUtility56.pkg
    2. Download and install unpkg.
    http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
    Run unpkg on the desktop.. If your Mac refuses to run the software, because it wasn’t downloaded from the Apple store, go to security in preferences and allow other software to work.. this is limitation of trade methinks. You can set back later if you like.
    Now drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. in finder, open the new directory, drill down.. applications, utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
    You cannot uninstall version 6 (now 6.3 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. although I have had no problems when doing so.
    Give 7.6.3 firmware the heave ho.. and use 7.6.1 and if the TC is more than 18months old.. round about .. even a Gen4 you can go back to 7.5.2.. which seems more solid again.
    As stated above.. by the time you get early Gen3.. they can have board faults. and earlier ones are especially not reliable with power supply faults.

  • INPUT: KT4/V vs CRC error in large data transfer/CD burning HERE!

    This issue can be solved with BIOS update. KT4V & KT4 Ultra users who are having this problem can request for the TEST BIOS to test on your system. You may either pm/email me or Bas, or get it at http://ftp://ftp.heppen.be/MSI/
    Please report back whether the test BIOS would really fix the problem, or cause any new problem, or any performance hit.
    ** this sounds like a Christmas Gift to KT4V users AND New Year Gift to KT4 Ultra users!!!  :D  **
    To all KT4 Ultra and KT4V users, either you have data corruption or CRC error in large data transfer and CD burning or not, your inputs are needed.

    other drivers, services or applications might affect the data transfer such as : PCI Latency patch, WPCREDIT modifications, VCool, CoolerXP...
    2. CRC ERROR?
    PASS or FAIL
    If PASS, let us know your BIOS settings.
    If FAIL, proceed as below:
    3. Please use these BIOS settings:
    1. Load BIOS Setup Default
    2. NO OVERCLOCK ON FSB! Set accordingly to your CPU
    2. Set RAM to
    a) SPD, if failed try
    b) User defined to the slowest RAM timings, ie 266,2.5,3,6,3,disable interleave,4,disable 1T, normal
    If PASS, go for more extreme BIOS settings as you usually use:
    1. High Performance Default
    2. set RAM to the extreme timings
    3. DO NOT overclock yet until both 1. and 2. are PASS
    4. Try these suggestions:
    1. Microsoft IDE drivers (uninstall VIA 4-in-1's)
    2. VIA 4-in-1 different version's IDE filter driver?
    3. VIA IDE Miniport driver?
    4. use IDE-3 RAID channel for one HDD data transfer
    5. same HDD transfer, ie C:\dir1\*.* -> C:\dir2\*.*
    6. burn CD at 1x speed
    7. Set the HDD and/or CD to PIO mode, or slower UDMA mode.
    8. If and only if you know how to update BIOS correctly and willing to take some risks, try the BETA BIOS KT4 (1.25), KT4V (1.64) too.
    Please report back your tests and experimentations of these suggestions.
    If you have any workaround to deal with this issue other than set back FSB to 100Mhz, please tell us too.

    2. CRC ERROR?
    FAIL.
    When i had my system, i tried installing Windows ME as i wanted to do dual-booting together with Win2K. When i tried to install NVIDIA Detonator drivers (Ver 30.82), it proceeded as normally and asked for a reboot, which i did, then it just hang before the start of Windows ME. I did a reboot, and later selected "Normal" as Windows ME detected a failed startup, and later i was able to enter Windows ME, but it reported that the NVIDIA Detonator drivers were invalid and of wrong type to my display card.
    Later i tried to move my files from my C:\ to D:\ and it reported saying that my destination file is invalid.
    When i changed my OS to Win2k/SP3 (no more dual-boot), and installed the same NVIDIA detonator driver version, it worked. When i started to copy files again, it later BSOD, and said PAGE_FAULT_ERROR (something like this). When installing from CDs, it will report that my .CAB files are corrupt or have insufficient swap file space (i set mine manually at 1.2Gb size). Then there are times during my reboots and entering win2k, i found my keyboard and mouse (all PS/2) not working and windows loads as usual.
    Later i changed my PCI latency setting from 32 to 96, i managed to install from CD without much further issues.
    Upon reading these posts here, i didn't realize that the MSI KT4 series or the KT400 chipset had so much issues! i have read from countless sites like extremetech and anandtech and none reported about this particular errors i have encountered during my first 2 days with this setup. (this is my first Athlon setup, i'm previously and Intel person-type).
    So far, i conclude in my settings is that:
    -32-Bit settings in Bios settings for CD/DVD/CD-RW must be disabled, i concur with Shumway's recommendations.
    -DMA settings in Windows 2000 for CD/DVD/CD-RW must be set to PIO mode otherwise when copying from CD to HDD will have read errors.
    -Installing the PCI latency fix really does wonders for my set. (PCI Latency fix ver 1.9). Now i can copy files from all my drives without worrying so much about CRC errors. Thank you, George E. Breese.
    -I really want to know why in WinME i can't install the NVIDIA detonator drivers, while in Win2K i can.
    I post again, once i have done some more tests to my system, especially CD-R writes.
