IPhone :: Heavy 3G Usage Recorded While On WiFi
Jun 25, 2012
I've noticed some strange behavior with my iPhone 4 where my account shows 3G usage at a time when I am certain I am on wi-fi. For example, on June 22, 2012 at 7:17AM EDT, I was at home, getting ready to go to work. I am 100% certain my phone was on wi-fi at the time. But, my AT&T usage shows over 460MB of data over 3G. I've read about turning off cellular data and location services, but that kind of defeats the purpose, doesn't it? Why heavy 3G data usage seen while on wi-fi, and if so, how to track down what was causing it?

My husband and I both have the iPhone 3GS. My husband's phone however will count on the phones data usage 20mb over night while it is charging and on our wifi. it is counting this towards his 3g usage and not wifi. We have already had APPLE reset everything at the store. it is still doing it. so he has to turn off all cellualar data usage at night or it keeps racking up the usage even though it is on our wifi. I plug my phone in at night as well and mine is not doing this

Question: I've used my iPhone exclusively on wifi so far. Yet, I have around 200 kB of data used under my usage details. I haven't even used the phone while on 3G yet.

I have a very limited data plan (100mb/month) and I need to be able to identify what apps or processes are consuming data in my iPhone. How can I do this?I have already reviews all my accounts and turned Push off, although that didn't significantly reduce data usage. Either way, the accounts are responsible for, AT MOST, 2 or 3mb/day considering new emails/new calendar stuff and whatever. I have a lot of Apps too, but I'm always worried to keep every "automatic sync" stuff OFF. I use an application called DataMan Pro to track usage data and keep my data consumption under control. But it does not tell me WHERE the consumption came from. Yesterday I went to check DataMan for my usage and I was surprised to find 9MB of usage and I did NOTHING yesterday, didn't use any apps like facebook, didn't check my emails, anything. Where did that come from?

This is a really silly question. It used to be easy to find your Wifi and network usage under settings, but I can not find them anymore. Usage now has been taken over by iCloud etc. and about is too top level. The usage used to be along side the up-time since last boot.

I was just wondering, when viewing the data usage on the ATT app, or their website, it the usage showing WiFi and 3G, or simply 3G? If it is showing both, is there a way to separate the two to view each individually?

I took a road trip last week and weekend and noticed that when under heavy use, my milestone will discharge even when plugged into the charger. From a functional standpoint, my milestone did great. I listened to an entire baseball game steamed with the MLB app over ATTs (mostly 3G) network. (Several places in S GA on I75 dont have 3G but the streaming app did pretty well over EDGE). I also use Google Nav and had my screen on since it was sitting on my car dock. After 4-5 hours of use my milestone was pretty warm and had quite a bit less battery life even though it was on the charger the entire time. I am guessing the GPS is a huge power draw, but what about having the screen on all the time. I would think that as long as the device is plugged into a power source, it should be good to go.

i am using xperia pro mk16a and a few days back i updated to ics 4.0.4 through pc companin s/w.everything went well and the update was completed in 20 minutes flat w/o any error or problem.but since then even after downloading adobe flash player the flash videos which are of duration 5 minutes or more do not load the flash video screen shows that it is loading but it doesnt load even after wainting for 30 minutes earlier on gingerbread these very videos used to load in less than a minute.i have tried almost all the browsers available in the market...but the result is same. i think this is some compaltibility issue of adobe flash player and android 4.0.4.Internet works bery well..no issues on that account.otherwise the ics update is very nice and feature rich and enhanced the overall xperience.

I recently just purchased a blackberry curve 8520 with Fido. My phone is connected to my wifi at home, but I want to make sure that I am strictly using wifi NOT data (because I do not have a data plan). I noticed that in a public wifi network, a red asterisk appears on the WiFi symbol on the top right hand corner of the phone. Like this :( the WiFi symbol is circled to demonstrate what I mean when I say WiFi symbol and the asterisk appeared like so)However on my home network , though it says it is connected, the asterick does not appear. As you can see it says "Fido-peanut butter" ( my router name) meaning yes, I am "connected".... BUT without the red asterisk on the wifi symbol ( with my home WiFi) Does this mean I am not properly connected? I called Fido and the CSR said she thinks it has something to do with login password in the public WiFi, but she is not certain.
The problem seems to be this: When I go to "Mobile Network Options" to turn "data services" OFF( to make sure I am only using wifi and no data), the connection fails and I get this message:When I turn it ON, I am able to connect. For "Connection Preference": what setting should I set it to if I do not want to use any data BUT WIFI? Yes, the obvious answer would be to choose "WI-Fi" only, but this means I will not be able to call/text because my mobile connection will be turned off. So, how can I verify that I am really only using wifi and not data when both the data service is ON and my wifi is "connected"?This is a checklist of what I have done:
1) HOTSPOT USER - check.
2) insterted pin provided by the phone into my dlink router (via online)
3)tried the push button setup
4)rebooted my router/modem
5)there is a checkmark beside WiFi connection:
It would seem like I am connected to Wifi, but again, to reiterate I would like to ask if WiFi is the ONLY thing I am using and not Data.

I want to add my son on my AT&T plan and put a chip in th 9810 torch that I no longer use. This phone was an outright purchase with no contract. When he is home or around any wifi hotspots, let him surf and stream Pandora to his hearts content. When not in range of wifi I want to prohibit all data access other than the unlimited text and phone. Is this possible? I've seen posts about setting the browser options to use wifi but the talk has been when wifi is no longer available it switches to the BB data. This is what I'm trying to prevent.

In my Xperia z2 battery usage is showing wifi on but i did not turned it on at any time.
I dont know what is happening in the software but it is annoying to see that wifi is turned on at all the time.

I'm wondering if using Wifi (while cell data turned on) uses more than cell data (with wifi off) alone.

Former OG user. Ran WIFI at home 24x7. Typically, wifi averaged about 2-3% of battery drain.
Got a Bionic this week, running Airplane mode at home , wifi on, disabled sleep policy. Look at these stats:

Wifi traffic monitor app that will show you how much data you have used at any certain time, per period (day/month/etc) but also grouped by network ssid? Like for example I'm running a personal hotspot (portable 3g router - say ssid TEST) that has a certain ammount of data available per month, and I want to see on my phone for example, how much data I have used on that particular network (ssid TEST).
I found some apps that show monthly and daily wifi usage, but it's combined for all wifi networks you connect to. I am looking for an app that shows usage per wifi network.

I've been having problems with my battery monitor constantly showing wifi usage while it's never even used on my phone. There will then be sporadic times where it will show that wifi is "off" and then kick back in.

Thought you would find it interested that my iphone 4 came in handy tonight. i was in the living room at about 0000 hours when outside the window i spotted this blue light. i went outside to take a better look at it and also woke my sister up so she could take a better look. it was cool white color and had red lights on it as well. im probably the first to record a ufo with iphone 4. I am not saying this is a alien or anything like that. it was just something different that i cannot identify, hence UFO.

We've been taking photos and videos with our Iphone that works great. We don't own a Mac computer yet, just a PC. We wanted to burn the videos to a DVD we can play and watch on a TV? Do I need to get QuickTime Pro to do this? I searched on the web for third party products and can't really find a straight answer on any of them.

I'm uploading all my pics and videos to my computer today and I set it to delete them off my phone after they are uploaded to the computer. I finish that.Then I unplug my my phone and go to camera roll. There is a video over an hour long that was filmed from my phones camera! You can see me picking up the phone, using it, setting it down, putting it in my pocket or on my leg, talking to others in the room etc. I absolutely was not in the camera app the whole time - I was doing other things. The phone has never been jailbroken or altered in any way.
