My IPhone4 is secretly using alot of data even though I have double tapped Home button and closed all the apps running in the background.

My Iphone4 is secretly using alot of data even after I have double tapped the home button and closed all the apps running in the background.
This just started happening 3 days ago.
When im out of home, the phone drains battery REALLY FAST, I lose 6% battery in 5 minutes.
The phone also heats up and feels very warm after a few minutes.
When I turn the data plan off, it becomes normal again, like I lose 1% every 30minutes even while listening to mp3.
I can conclude that its secretly using the 3G at an alarming rate which causes the battery to die so quickly
I have uploaded 2 pictures showing what happens before and after I turn on my WIFI.
Notice that the ping spikes like crazy on my home network once I turn on my WIFI on my IP4
WIFI OFF:
WIFI ON:
I hope someone can assist me with this!
Thanks!!

There is a common misconception that closing an app on the Quick Launch screen (it's real name) also kills the app's background process. This is not the case. First, all built in apps (mail, contacts, calendar, game center, notes, reminders, Genius, Photo Stream, etc) continue running their background processes even if killed in the Quick Launch screen. For apps from the App Store killing the foreground process also gives the app the option of killing its background process, but it doesn't have to. In addition, any app that has Notifications enabled can restart its background process if it receives a Notification.
iOS 7 gives the user more control over background processes; you can selectively allow or deny any app to run in background. As you apparently have not upgraded this option is not available to you.
As Chris has already told you, there's an app on your phone that is stuck in a loop. As you discovered killing foreground processes did not resolve the problem. One trick that sometimes resolves this is to let the battery run down until the phone shuts off and will not restart. Then charge to 100%.

TS3274 I used to double click home button and then hold down each - app.

How do I close out apps with iOS 7? I use to double click home button and hold down each - app.

Double tap the home button, swipe to the large image of the app then swipe up and off the screen

Yesterday double clicked home button and all of my apps disappeared; cannot shut off i-pad, and syncing it does not restore apps or enable me to use it again. Help!

See if this fixes things.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

U mean used apps running background if that Wht i do is double tap home button , then swipe it upwards

To close an app - Drag the app up from the multitasking display. Swipe up on the mini screen of the open app - not the app icon itself.

I saved my data in Sync, reformatted and now i cant access my data even though i have my username/password.

when i uploaded my data, a screen told me i could close it and it would upload in background. I figured that was that. I have now reformatted my computer, so the old "device" no longer exists, since its the same one im on now... i clicked the lost other device button, it gave me a key but it doesnt work? Will you really not let me access my data????

I agree with jbaldwin9182. This is a serious bug. The way sync is presented, one might easily interpret it as being a way to backup your data. I also used sync as such, having read the description and being assured by two others that really, all I needed to do was make an account and that would be that. Without this sync key I never learned about important data, over half of which irreplacable, disappeared just like that. Why wasn't I given notice that I needed a sync key? I would have saved it five times over.
There are hardly any services which people who know little of computers (like myself) are used to which ask for more than your username/email and password. People are not likely to realise you need anything else unless you tell them. It is easy to tell the user that this was not intended as a backup device, but the description does lead to the conclusion that it is, in fact, a way to backup your data. Please don't tell people they are doing something wrong when they are not being properly informed of what they should be doing in the first place.

HT201209 when i try to buy something on my ipad it always tells me to use my credit card even though i have funds. how can i use my funds on the ipad????

On your iPhone go to Settings > Store.
Select the Apple ID at the bottom.
Select Sign Out at the menu selection provided.
Follow this by signing in with your new Apple ID/iTunes store account.
All apps - all paid and free apps include DRM protection which is tied to the iTunes account that was used to download the apps. In order to install an app update for the apps downloaded with your previous Apple ID/iTunes account, you will need to use that account and password.

On my Mac using 10.6.7, even though icons are present, they are grey and Firefox 4 will not allow navigation back a page or more, nor will it allow refresh.

I updated to Firefox 4. The right and left arrows are present, but are gray or inactive. If I right click the page, Back and Forward are listed, but they are gray or inactive. I restarted in Safe Mode with Ad-ons disabled and reset. I restarted my computer. All was working perfectly prior to update.

Hey! I had the same problem you did just today when I was trying to get my second iPhone to sync. What you need to do with music or anything extra that you doing you have to creat a second playlist or picture or anything that you would like to use, so that you can add to the second device that you are going to be using. I am not sure if that will help but it helped me out a lot!! Good luck!

Do apps running in the background drain battery, slow down performance, or use cellular data?

I have heard that if you don't kill the apps running in the background, they will drain your battery, slow your other apps down, and could be using your data without any warning. I've looked all over the place for a definitive answer to this, but different people and websites provide conflicting responses and I haven't found any useful information regarding this issue directly from Apple. If anyone knows whether or not having apps constantly running in the background is harmful in anyway (and has a credible resource to back up their claim) let me know and provide a link to the answer if possible.

What do you mean 'running in the background'? Something that is 'running' will definitely use battery, nothing runs on air or whatever. If an app uses data while it's 'running' then it will use data. Why do you need a link, it's common sense isn't it? Slow the phone down? That I can't say definitively, but it stands to reason that it will.

HT204406 The song "If We Are the Body" could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it? This notice keeps coming up even though I have iTunes Match. What do I do?

The song “If We Are the Body” could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it? This notice keeps coming up even though I have iTunes Match. What do I do?

This usually means the original music file has been been deleted from the HDD. If you feel it has not then click "locate" and navigate to where the song file is on the HDD and choose it. You can use Spotlight to locate it if necessary.

Recently my iPad does not consistently respond to a single or double click on the home button and i've had no choice but to turn it off and back on to escape fron the app i'm using. Can't say it is consistent with any one app. Suggestions are asked for

My ipad recently seems to be freezing and not responding to home button single or double clicks?

While this could potentially be a hardwar issue:
Try a rest: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.
If the reset doesn't work, you may need to consider restoring the iPad to factory settings

I uninstalled Flash Builder 4.7 using the uninstall app. I'd like to re-install the app, but Creative Cloud says it's up-to-date, even though it does not exist anymore on my computer. How can I re-dowload it?

So here's my problem. I just used the "reset all settings" option, and accidentaly restored an old backup. It deleted all my photos and contacts, but for some reason I still have all the apps from after the backup date, is there a way to get it all back?

So here's my problem. I just used the "reset all settings" option, and accidentaly restored an old backup. It deleted all my photos and contacts, but for some reason I still have all the apps from after the backup date,and it also kept the notes from after the backup. The "reset all settings" option clearly says no loss of data or media, so I don't understand why some stuff got deleted. My question is, is there a way to get it back?

If you still can find a recent backup listed in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices, use this one to restore from.
If there are no recent backups listed, your data is gone. Only if you included the iTunes backup folder into your computer backup routine, you could be able to restore this folder and find one of your latest backups listed again.
