Why am I being charged data usage during the times my phone is not being used?

I got a notice on my phone that my number has used all of its allowed data usage for the month. I looked at my current usage and seen that I was being charged for data usage during the times that I am not using my phone. I figured it up and it adds up to be more than the amount that you say I am over. Explain please.

Ok, what all should I turn off on my 5s and I should get any additional fees waived. I just got this new phone about a week before Thanksgiving and never got a notice till it was full. I have never went over before. I also have never been told that I could be charged data even if I am not using my phone and I should make these changes to prevent this.
Also, the phone was 2 days late getting to me. So in addition to any additional fees that I may occur from the overage I should get a credit for the delay in my phone being sent. Oh, and it probably would have been longer had I not called to see where it was at, which the guy that helped me put in the order and was to follow up the next day with a phone call to let me know what the status was and never did.

This is a new notification coming up with iTunes, why and how do I fix it? The song "Penny Lane" could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?

Hey xxCreepyFiaxx,
First, I would try the following suggested steps for when you don't see content in iTunes after updating:
Quit iTunes.
Download and install the latest version of iTunes.
Use the Finder (Mac) or Windows Explorer (Windows) to go to the iTunes folder that contains the iTunes library files:
Mac OS X
/Users/username/Music/iTunes/
Microsoft Windows Windows XP and Windows 2000
\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
Microsoft Windows Windows Vista and Windows 7
\Users\username\Music\iTunes\
Drag the iTunes Library file from the above location to the Desktop.
Open the Previous iTunes Libraries folder in the iTunes folder.
Locate the file named iTunes Library YYYY-MM-DD where YYYY-MM-DD is the date you upgraded iTunes (Year-Month-Day).
Drag this file to the iTunes folder (the enclosing folder).
Rename this file to iTunes Library.
Open iTunes.
You should now see your missing content in iTunes.

When am I being charged by Edge for Safari and when am I not being charged?

I know I am probably beating a dead turkey here but the on line manual has nothing when I search for "quitting applications". I found the following on this discussions history but it is referring to fixing a problem. My question is concerning normal sequence of steps for web browsing.

. . . If this allows Safari to load a website, quit Safari by pressing and holding the Home button until the iPhone returns to the Home screen. This quits the application. Then clear the Safari cache, cookies and history.  Power your iPhone off and on or do another
It is unclear to me; should I "quit" Safari after I am done looking at a web page. Apparently to do this I hold down the home button. I don't quite understand how the Edge charges are applied. Lets say I bring up a web page for a local TV station's weather page.
I load the page, look at it and want to be sure I am no longer being charged. What do I do? I have only tried this once because I don't want to pay astronomical fees. I have yet to go to a free WiFi. What I did after viewing the local TV station's page is I turned my phone completely off hoping it would stop me from being robbed.
Q: after I load a page if I don't move around it or change the view size etc. am I still being charged or is the data down load complete and that is that?
Q: then if I move on to say playing music on the iPod app. or just start a timer for my tea and walk away is Safari still running like a taxi meter or what?
Q: If I have more than one web page open am I being charged, if using Edge, the whole time I have those pages in my "Multiple Webpages at Once" list even while they are not visible on the screen?
I think the on line manual should go into this in more detail.
Thanks for any light you can shed on this mysterious business.

Hey thanks for responding,
I am on GoPhone pay as I go for now. I fear the local TV weather page does refresh so the info is up to date over time.
One person here said it is possible to send up to $30 for three minutes. I don't want to get caught paying ump teen for sixty minutes or worse; over night.
Ok it seems if I close the multiple pages even if they refresh then I don't need to worry about them and if I leave them and they refresh I get charged a bit more each time.
The manual says I cannot close the last page so this means I must use the press the Home button and hold until what? If I merely press the home button without holding I go to the home page so how can I be sure I have "Quit" Safari.

It took me some time to figure what you are trying to do but I think I have it now.
The SR is still required.
What is happening is your "Bundle By Name" is replacing all of the fields of the cluster, not just the value coming out of the case structure. So to maintain the cluster stuff you do in earlier iterations you can either...
1) Put the "Index array, Bundle by name, and Replace array" inside the case structure and ONLY bundle the value you are setting in that iteration. (as you will see Tim post shortly)
OR
2) Move the Index array before the Case, unbundle all of the fields and feed teh case structure and run them across the case so that ALL of your output tunnels come from the coresponding input tunnel EXCEPT for the filed you are trying to set.

What's up with data usage on the iPad over LTE?

I am using the new iPad. This is not my first as I have had an ipad since version 1 (at first with a VZ Mifi, though now I have the one with LTE). When I first set up this iPad i did it on a prepaid account and so I have a baseline of experience (both with the mifi and with built in cellular) that is nothing like what I have experienced recently.
When I first activated, I averaged 1GB of data use. I activated on prepaid as I thought I might actually turn it off once in a while and I didnt want to have to go through VZ to do that - I don't have an hour+ to waste in store every time i want to do something with my devices. I later decided (silly me) I was not ever going to turn off the data, so why not put it on my regular plan. The real rub here is my data usage still didnt change. I leave both radios (wifi and cell) on all the time. So when I am home, I am wifi, when i am out, I use cell.
The odd thing here is, since LTE has come to town, my usage has tripled. Now, some of this is because I have once or twice watched a movie or streamed some audio. But as this has happened only once or twice in a month, it does not explain lump data charges of 500-1,000mb charges hitting my device 5-6 times in a month. Consider this timeline:
On Saturday afternoon, I decided to use the NFL app to listen to an audio broadcast of the NE patriots game. I did so walking around town. I was easily streaming for 2 hours or more. According to VZW, the charge in data use for this (nearest to time) was at most 47mb.
Roll forward 2 days during which the two largest charges are 23mb and 13mb - I can even relate these charges to a couple apps I upgraded in that time frame and some podcasts that auto downloaded.
I see that at 3am on 9-18-12 I had data usage of 900mb. huh?
My wifi is always connected when I am at home
Even if, as some suggest on here, the wifi turns off when the device sleeps
There were no updates to be found
Movies don't download over Cell as they are over 50mb (though they will stream I think)
IOS does not allow podcasts or software updates over 50mb anyway so if it was either of those, it would have had to be like 30 of them!
I have a couple of theories:
Verizon charges for data as far as timing are way off. They really don't know WHEN data is being used. The system posts involve lags in update of data from towers. (server to server transmission, whatever)
There is a problem with LTE usage stats on Verizon. I am tempted to turn off LTE for a while to see if the usage goes down.
I don't want to turn off my cellular all the time as that defeats the usability of the thing. I just want it back the way it was and for these phantom charges to stop. There is nooooo way my ipad used 900mb overnight by itself. There just isn't that much data to be had to bring into the thing when I am not using it.
Please reply to this with answers only if you KNOW something. I know many will want to be helpful, but if you want to be really really helpful, you will differentiate speculation from fact.
Has anyone else noticed that LTE data usage is higher? (and not just because having faster speeds makes you want to do more stuff)

Sorry Tominique, great answer to the question I didnt ask. I know how to add data to my plan.
My point is, my usage pattern has changed little. yet I am using at a rate 5 times what I was before. And I rarely stream content so I know thats not it. And the times I do, does not coincide with those ridiculous usage figures.
I get that having more bandwidth will open a stream "wider" so to speak and cause more data usage in order to get better quality. However, in the case of Audio, that extra usage doesnt even come close to justifying these kinds of figures. Much less when posting at 4am when I am fast asleep.
And forgive me for being a bit curt, but does my post read like I needed to be told that using wifi will save me cell data usage? I know it was pretty long, but at least read it carefully before proposing something so mundanely simplistic.
And Brian68- Yup, I agree Spot on with you on song size. A 10mb song is a 10mb song. Doesn't matter how fast the stream is. I could see music being compressed, but it most definitely doesn't get any bits added just because the bandwidth opens up. lol What? VZW somehow upgraded my itunes match content from 256kb up to lossless? doubtful.

What is going on with the data usage on the S5??

Ok so I had the S4 and I used maybe .32 (yes .32) data a month. Now that I switched last week to the S5 I am already at .50. Why is there such a data increase?
The only things I got listed on are:
wifi- my house has wifi
sound- got to hear
screen rotation- set default
mobile data- set default
sync- set default
I admit I might be missing something. But I have not used the S5 any more then I did the s4.
Ideas??

E5Destroyer,
We'll get to the bottom of this together. I absolutely recommend trying what Ann154 and Bearone21 touched upon. You can use this webpage to manage a good majority of your data: http://vz.to/1khMmTJ and keep it where you want it to be. The "Restrict Data Usage by App" section is especially helpful.

Is there a way to monitor CPU usage during the execution of a vi?

I am wondering if there is a way, using LabView, to monitor the CPU usage during the execution of a vi. I want to be able to programmatically adjust the program controls based on the CPU usage. This program is designed to run all day in the background.
Thanks!

There are at least two Windows tools you can use to see CPU usage
(depending on what version of Windows you have). The Task Manager
(ctrl-alt-del) has a panel that shows CPU usage. There is another
program that has more options as to what to watch. Under W2K, it is in
the Administrative Tools in the Control Panel and is called Performance.
Play around with adding various new "Counters".
Another option is to measure CPU usage programmatically. George Zou
has a tool that makes the appropriate dll call. Check out

Do you have a smaller capacity micro SD card to try? I seem to remember from past posts that users were having problems with cards larger than 32GB, however, Apple's page doesn't mention this.

Anybody experiencing an unusual amount of data usage? Like there's no way your possibly using that much data?

Anybody experiencing an unusual amount of data usage? Like there's no way I'm using that much data???

Many people complain of this, but depends on if it is a JetPack-type device or a phone. Usually comes down to a phone turning off its wifi when asleep or idle, or apps running wild in the background, or a hotspot device with many connected devices.

Why is there a charge for apps on the mac laptops and computers

Why is there a charge for apps on the Mac laptops and computers and not on the Ipad or Iphone? And the same apps are cheaper on my Nook?

Kind of unfair. I get the cheapest ones on my Nook and all my friends that have Iphones and Ipads are free.
Thankyou for answering me though

IOS 7 ugrade failed " Error:Device disappeared during timed transition". Phone will not now turn on or sync with itunes, any ideas please?

iOS 7 ugrade failed " Error:Device disappeared during timed transition". Phone will not now turn on or sync with itunes, any ideas please?

if a Mac OSX Computer is in near - try iBackup Viewer.
This is free of charge and can read your backup.
and thats the main difference. Those tools are reading the saved Data in the backup
but itunes attempts to restore the data from the backup on your iphone. if there are any corrupted data in the backup - the backup restore goes wrong. this can happen during security software or wrong corrupt data already stored on the iphone.
if itunes messed up to restore from backup try this one :
- restore your iphone to factory settings using HT1808 or reset all settings and content direct from iphone
- rename your iPhone (e.g. iPhone Test)
- setup your iPhone as new device -> attempt to make a new backup - if successful -
- click in itunes on restore from backup... and choose your desired backup
or go to:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(Username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista - Windows 7: \Users\(Username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Pull your complete BackupFolder and try a different PC - copy the BackupFolder on this different PC in the same Path above - start iTunes and see if your Backup is there - attempt to restore from Backup again

Why am I being charged data usage during the times my phone is not being used?
