Upgrade to IOS 5 is causing my Iphone 3gs to go over my AT&T data plan

Ever since I upgraded my Iphone 3gs to IOS 5, I have been going over my 200mb data plan with AT&T. I never had a problem with going over my data plan before this update. I looked up my invoice and noticed that when I downloaded the IOS software, I was being charged for it while I was on Wi fi at home. I called AT&T and they removed the $15 data overage charge but I still am going over my data plan and I don't even use my phone. I read on the apple bulletin boards that there might be a virus in the Icloud software, so I deleted the Icloud. I have turned off all push notifications and now I have turned off the cellular data, which makes no sense to do but it has helped. I downloaded the Dataman app to monitor my data constantly. I contacted AT&T and they told me to contact Apple about this problem. Are there any other suggestions? I already updated to the IOS 5.01 and that still did not help. I don't want to upgrade my ATT data plan and pay more money since I already shelled out an extra $15 this month for the overrage.

Disable firewall on your computer.
If you have iOS 5.0 or later, update directly from the phone by going to Settings > General > Software Update.

    Have you tried doing turning the battery level display off and then General -> "Reset all settings"? You won't loose any data and that should do the trick.

  • Did an upgrade to iOS 5.1 fix the iPhone 3Gs 'randon shut off' issue?

    I got an iPhone 3Gs some 3 months back & and it was working fine on iOS 5.0.1 for soem time. Then suddenly it started shutting off at 40% battery.
    It kept doing it almsot evey time it reached 40%. Then I did a restore and all. The phone worked fine for a while but the problem started again.
    This time it shuts off at any battery level below 80%. iOS 5.1 is out but I am not sure if I want to upgrade now. And downgrade isn't anything I want to do.
    After reading a lot around blogs and forums, I found some ifixit battery replacement. I don't know if it's going to work but still I'll ask. WIll the battery change work, as my phone isn't that old. Just 3 months. Shut offs driving me mad. Need help.

    The only solution I could find was to change the battery.  It seems that iOS5 will make your battery issues known if your battery is near the end of it's life.  My phone would shut off several times a day.
    If you're bold enough and don't mind ripping open your phone, I ordered one off of Ebay for $5 and it had every tool I needed in it.  Also the detailed instructions can be found on ifixit.com.  Works like a charm now, I haven't had any issues at all.
    Feel free to contact me for any questions if you plan on changing your battery.

    cannot access internet after upgrading to IOS 6.1.2 on iphone 4.

    ok here is the issue.
    After i upgraded the IOS to IOS 6.1.2 I'm not able to use mobile internet as i have a data sim card.
    As the settings provided by the service provider are not compatible with IOS 6.1.2 and the service provider cannot do anything about it, as it's something that has to be ressolved by apple.

Thanks a lot for help me!!!!

    I have a nearly identical problem with my Ipad 3. Mine is the left channel. I've yet to find help, but have found a number of other posts on this and other forums discussing the issue. People have tried restore, reset etc. Also, cleaning the ports with compressed air or cotton swabs. It appears to be a software issue, but no one is sure.
    Along with the original poster, I'd appreciate any help.
    As far as the 'level 6' poster, if you're going to be rude, please don't bother. Hope it was just a bad day.

  • Been using an ipad 2 without passcode for quite some time. While upgrading to ios 7, I enabled Find Iphone on the Ipad. It asked for passcode and I gave one. Now I forgot it.

    Been using an ipad 2 without passcode for quite some time. While upgrading to ios 7, I enabled Find Iphone on the Ipad. It asked for passcode and I gave one. Now I forgot it. Connected it iTunes (on my windows 8 system) with which I sync and that too required an update as old version of itunes cannot read ios7. Problem is itunes does not want to get updated. Some vague error on not having right to write a file in ProgramData folder wheras as an admin i have full rights. Next I downloaded the install file from itunes site - no luck it would not install. Then I tried to remove itunes - it does not want to go. Am at wits end... Is the option only to restore it as a new Ipad?

    Place the iPhone into recovery mode and restore the iPhone with iTunes on your computer.

    If you didn't already do so, try uninstalling iTunes and all of it's components (not just iTunes and AMDS), then reinstall iTunes, as discussed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925.  Follow the article and uninstall them in the order indicated.

    Same here.  I don't know how to solve the problem, but I figured out a way to close the app without re-starting or resetting the phone.  If you click ok and then press the home button twice really fast before the dialog box shows back up, you can put the phone in multi-tasking mode and close the app without having the shut the phone off or reset it.  Anxiously awaiting the fix for this since I have several apps I use that I can access at the moment.

  • HT2513 After accepting the new Apple upgrade to iOS 7.1 on my iPhone 4S, I cannot remove the half month calendar view to show only the daily view. Help!

    After accepting the new Apple upgrade to iOS 7.1 on my iPhone 4S, I cannot remove the half month calendar view to show only the daily view. Help!

    Before you panic, try resetting your iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.

  • Upgrading to iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 4s seems to have deleted all my saved voicemails

    It appears that upgrading to iOS 8.2 on my iPhone 4s has deleted all of my saved voicemails; is there any way I can recover them?
    My carrier, VirginMobile, was unable to do anything for me. The person on the phone very politely informed me that all of my saved voicemails were lost for certain. Does anyone have any suggestions for how I could still retrieve my old voicemails? Or, how to save them in a more permanent way from now on?
    Thanks!

    Try a reset by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds.
    If it still does not boot up properly, put the device in DFU mode (google it) and restore.

    How do I install the iOS 4.3 on my iPhone 3GS ? I've tried direct links but they it says safari cannot install this ? Please help !

    You can not install anything but the current version of iOS. If you have a 3Gs, then you can install 6.0.1 by plugging it into your computer running iTunes (10.7 or higher).  If you have a 3G, 4.2.1 is the end of the line.
