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.

What can be done with the excessive ink usage on the HP6700 printer?

I just replaced all the cartridges in a HP6700 printer so I could print a black only page (that issue has it's own thread of disappointed customers). Now after very little use, perhaps 20-30 pages at most and again mostly just black type, the message that cyan ink is low comes up. Yes, I set it to print black only and grayscale most every page but I think that is false. I use the Draft setting on most things in another hopless effort to save ink. I think I did better from the starter pack that came with the printer which also ran out about the same time but I did at least print have the pages with color then. Does anyone know of a way to get this thing to stop using up ink so fast other than leaving in unplugged in the corner or placing it in the garbage can.??

Hi oceanbob,
I appreciate your frustration, I really do. However, this particular printer uses some color inks even when printing in black only. The reason for this is for servicing tasks and to make sure your printhead does not dry out and cause problems in the future. If you did run out of color and kept printing black only, you will cause problems with the printhead.
For more information here is your User Guide to your printer, see page 74.
To get a better understand of the ink usage, take a look here: Ink Usage in Inkjet Printers

Is there anyone else having a major probblem with excessive data usage with the iPhone 5??

My wife and I are on a shared 4GB data plan, she has the Galaxy Note 2 and I have the iPhone 5, she's on her phone way more than I am, but I am using waaay more data than she is, double to be exact. She sends pictures all the time and all of that, I do not, but yet I am still using more data. I have cut off everything from using my cellular data except, facebook, twitter, instagram, and Onavo Count, I have deleted iClouds from my phone, my location is turned off, but yet I am still using a lot of data.. I was wondering, is this issue because of Verizon, or is it because of the iPhone 5? My boss has a iPhone 5 through AT&T and she's not using as much data as I am either and I am pretty sure she's on her phone more than I am as well and do not have half of everything I got not using cellular data cut off.. I been with Verizon since Feb. 2012 and I have always had this problem with data while my wife is using barely 1G a month, I am using almost 2G every month. I am not complaining, I just want to know if anyone else is experiencing the same thing and if so what kind of solutions have you found? Thanks in advance! I hope I hear from someone... preferably a Verizon representative.

Thank you for your response. I do not stream music or videos, I do not
FaceTime, my apps are not automatically updating when using wifi, I
manually update them so they do not use cellular date either. Yes I have
been able to view my data sessions, and honestly its not adding up. This
morning it said my phone used over 90,000 kilobytes and I do not know how.
I am positive my wife uses her phone more than I do but yet I am using more
data.. I've been to the Verizon store and they have not be able to help me
at all, I really like the coverage I get from Verizon but my confusion on
why my phone is using so much data may cause me to switch providers and I
really do not want to, I just really want to get to the bottom of this
situation. I can't even enjoy my phone because I have cut mainly everything
off. Location is cut off, I've deleted iTunes off my phone, I got mainly
all my applications to only be accessed through wife for when I get home. I
cut off my cellular data as soon as I get home because I am under wife when
I am home. My wife do not have to do anything of what I've just mentioned
but yet I am still using more data than she. Is my phone defected,
something has to be wrong here. Please I will really appreciate it if you
or anyone can help me figure what is going on. Please, thank you!

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.

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 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".

Sudden increase of data usage with my jetpack.

This is crazy! For the first few months using my jetpack, my usage was consistent with my usage when I was with Sprint. I monitor my usage on a regular basis. So you can image my surprise when I received two text messages in the middle of the night, 15 minutes apart telling me I was at 75% and the 90% of my 14 gig limit, just 17 days into my billing cycle. We had used just over 4 gig to this point, an average month. I contacted Verizon immediately. I was told that Verizon was having technical difficulties but she still put me through to a tech support person. The Tech gave me a song and dance about my data usage that did not match up with my data usage that was being reported on My Verizon, so I pushed the issue and called back. The customer service rep started an investigation on my behalf. When she called me several days later, I was informed that the usage was legit and it was my fault because I had left my jetpack on even when we were not using the internet and there must have been updates occurring. I was also told that nothing could be done until my next bill was issued. We run Linux and do not run ANY automatic updates. After turning off my jetpack for several days, my daughter turned it on for less than 30 minutes to check her email and blogs for her college class. It used in excess of .5 gig during this time. I will be taking my jetpack into the closest Verizon store to get checked out. If this is not resolved to my satisfaction, I will be eating the early cancelation charge and dropping Verizon. I would rather pay a little more through an internet satellite provider than be duped by a company unwilling to fix an obvious problem.

I can see by the posts on this site there are no solutions to an obvious problem with the Verizon Jetpack. My data usage says I have used over 15GBs! in a few hour period and I was only on the internet for about and hour and just the usual checking my email, bank statement, Facebook. My jetpack worked fine up until a two and a half months ago I have contacted Verizon a month ago about excessive data usage reporting. So far this month it says I have over 15G used! No way could it be. My browsing hasn't changed. My computer hasn't changed. I have not downloaded any music or movies for months and I shut off the automatic run on videos on Facebook. I've lived in the same house for 35 years. I shut my jetpack off when I'm done .. If I turn on the Jetpack. and check email and do some browsing,,.within half a day to a day I get a notice that says I've used almost 2 more GB of data!! This is insane. I haven't watched anything on Netflix since last April or May and even then I didn't have any overages. This is a new problem. I took my Jetpack in to our local Verizon Store and all he could do was confirm the data usage. The lady from online support who chatted with me last month said she would back charge to the cheaper plan for a month and then drop it the next month, but now my account shows I'm on a 14 GB plan (use to be 10 then she put it at 12 supposedly for one month..so don't know how in the heck it's now at 14) and it is saying I'm over my data usage. Right now I'm using my phone hotspot. I do not have overages being reported when I use this connection. I also have used my daughters hotspot and NO problem. Face it , to whatever Verizon Tech may be reading this... The problem is there's a bug with the Jetpack 4g or a problem with it's data reporting. I don't believe a large corporation would try to dishonestly upcharge data. I used the old Jetpack in 2011 and 2012 and NEVER had an overage problem. I updated to this new one last November and didn't have a problem until about 2 months ago. I'm an older senior and this is a big problem on a fixed income. My internet usage is about the same as it's been for the past decade. That's why I called Verizon about this problem. I thought maybe the account had been hacked somehow and someone was piggy backing on my device but with the postings on this site and others I see it's a Verizon Jetpack problem! NO ONE wants to Help. The replies I get from Verizon is " Well, this is what the data report says, so you must be using it somehow, with updates or background programs etc. " When NOTHING has changed on my end and it doesn't happen on other WiFi equipment it's obvious this is a Verizon Jetpack problem.. I am just not going to use my Jetpack anymore and believe when I say it will NOT be recommended to anyone we know, not that that will make a dent in anyones life at Verizon, and I use to think it was really a great tool for traveling etc. My husband and I do have the contract with Verizon and will run it out but this has been a really bad experience. BTW..I only hook this up to our computer at home or when we use the tablet up at our cabin,.so only one device at a time and no big downloads.

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

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.

'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?

Does anyone have problems with data usage with att and Iphone5?

Hello, Does anyone have problems with data usage or non usage I should say with Iphone 5 and AT&T?

After 4+ months of dealing with this data usage and battery drain problem that included 3 data captures of my wife's iMac, the trigger for us regarding the problems syncing with iCloud, and 5 hours of logs off my iPhone 6 to be analyzed by Apple engineers that included times my wife's computer was both on and off to demonstrate the difference in data usage and battery drain under those conditions, I can say with very reasonable certainty that the iOS 8.3 and corresponding Mac OS 10.10.3 update has solved the problem.
We have now been running for about 2 weeks and data usage with the iCloud Servers attempting to sync has dropped from a rate of 31 GBs to under 15 MBs per month. Yes, you read it right. We were burning 2000 times as much data doing absolutely nothing important on both of our phones, a 5s and a 6. Just imagine what that does to battery life! The 5s would last about 5 hours and the 6 was dead in less than 14.
The distasteful aspect of this process was how the engineers were quietly fixing the problem at the same time sending messages to my contact person within Apple that were dismissive in nature in the face of indisputable unreasonable results. I must say, this experience with the multiple times the engineers' responses were inappropriate put a little tarnish on the old Apple shine of the ‘It just works’ mantra. This was my first experience in 34 years that caused me to stop recommending Apple products without reservations and with a disclaimer.
Since the update solved the problem, then I can only conclude that there was a logic bug regarding the reaction within the process to the incoming data that was corrected. There was noting short of logging out of iCloud that circumvented the problem for us, Gator5000e and probably many others noted on other threads. I am not trying to imply that this is the cause of everyones battery use problem, but it is reasonable that it was a cause for many.

Can I populate a text field in one PDF with the modification date of a different file ?

Rather convoluted problem here but I'm trying to place a text field on a PDF document that serves as the main menu page for a library of interlinked PDF documents
The complete library contains over 7,000 files and additions are added and documents changed almost daily.
We currently use batch files to open the main menu from it's shortcut and this runs a check on a sync log file (.txt) to ascertain when the last time the user synchronised with the server to get the latest copy of the files.
Between a certain time range they are told how long it has been since they sync'ed and are offered the option to sync before opening, after a prescribed timeframe they cannot enter without synchronising. We use Allways Sync to conduct the file synchronisation with our mother files on our server.
What I'd like to do is take advantage of Allways Syncs automatic synchronisation options to synchronise on log on and at prescribed idle periods there after.
This works fine but I'd like the text field on the main menu PDF to say when the last synchronisation took place - easy if the main menu is the last file modified .. just use info.modDate.
However, the main menu is rarely modified therefore I wish to import the text to populate the text field from a different file.. either by interrogating the other files modifictaion data (though I doubt Acrobat can do this) or by simply importing some text stored in another file (a .txt file?) which has previously been created by batch file commands.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Nifty Styles
(Norfolk, England)
P.S. I'm using Acrobat 8.3.1. Professional on Windows XP (SP3).

Thank you for all your help above.
Just to confirm your advice, am I right with the following conclusions? :
1. The script (function) to fill the text field with the modification date of a different PDF file needs to be stored in a folder level .js file.
2. The document containing the text field needs to call the .js function either within the document script or within the custom script property of the text field itself.
Further to that can you just advise on the syntax for accessing the modification date of the other document.
Do I need to assign a variable to the address of the file to be used, and then use this variable in the text form filling script (as below) or can I use a direct file reference at the .modDate command.
var LastSync = "C:\sync\bin\lastsync.pdf";
var strMsg = util.printd("h:MM tt",LastSync.modDate) + " on ";
strMsg += util.printd("dddd, d mmmm, yyyy",LastSync.modDate);
this.getField("LastSyncDate").value = strMsg;
If the syntax is totally different to the above I would be very grateful for some guidance in the right direction.
I much appreciate your time to help me ... I'm almost there.
Kind Regards,
Nifty

Huge data usage with Verison 4G LTE hotspot ( Verizon-890L-50DB)

Recently upgraded my internet service to a Verizon 4G LTE hotspot (Verizon-890L-50DB). First month - no problems - second month - I have 6GB of overage charges. Every time I log in to check email or any other minimal data usage task, I get hit with another GB or more of download usage. My computer is an HP Pavilion Laptop, Windows 7 with NETWORX installed. Networx tells me it is indeed MY computer that is downloading this data and my hard drive is also showing the increases in data.
I've run AVG, Glary Utilities, Speedy PC PRO and Spybot Search and Destroy but found no virus, rootkit or anything on my computer that would explain this problem.
When I use a different wireless internet service, I do NOT see the extraneous data usage.
I contacted Verizon's support team and got no help diagnosing the problem but they did agree to send a replacement for my hotspot device. Hopefully this fixes the issue; then I have to battle with them about the unwarranted $60 or more in overage charges.
Has anyone else experienced a problem similar to this?

I would recomend getting out of the contract before the 14 day trial period ends.   Verizon will charge you an activation fee, restocking fee and one months service, but that is better than being stuck with this mess. I have homefusion and am afraid to use since verizon seems to fabricate data usage. Unfortunately I did not realize this untill after the 14 day trial. Now is will cost me $350 to terminate my contract.

Exactly the same thing has happened to me. I purchased the Verizon Jetpack™ 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot 890L two days ago. After one day, I had supposedly used half the 5GB monthly allowance. After two days, I am at 4.25 GB usage. I don't stream movies, I have the hotspot password protected, I live alone, and no one else uses my computer. I have not downloaded any large files. At this rate, I'll go broke soon.

Filling a range with the same date in Numbers '09

I know if you type a date in to a field and then drag the corner it will fill successive dates, but is there a way to fill a range of cells with the same date so I don't need to retype them each time?

Create a pattern of what you want, then do "fill"
Enter the same date in two or three cells, in a row or column, then drag to fill the range. Numbers should recognize the pattern you created and continue it.

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.

What is up with the excessive data usage with 5s
