Motorola Atrix 2 :: Massive Data Use On Contacts 2.6 GB/month
Apr 3, 2012
I got a text message from AT&T telling me they were gonna throttle me for using over 3GB. I have never used more than 1.5GB per month in my entire time with AT&T even having an iPhone for 3 years, usually not even 1GB.
why two separate data manager apps are telling me that Contacts used 2.6 GB in a month? What is Contacts doing? This is a stock app, part of Android. What can it possibly be doing all day long that uses so much data? This is like the icing on the cake of about 20 other huge complaints I have about this terrible phone.
I am shocked when I see good reviews on Atrix2 - there is almost nothing good about this thing. From the loud noise it makes when the battery is low (nearly deafens me with headphones) to the fact that it doesn't turn the screen on when a reminder goes off or a text message comes in - I just don't get this Android thing - why do I need to spend money to change settings like that? My 2003 Windows Mobile phone was more user friendly than this.
Also in the last month it keeps showing "com.motorola.services.main process shutting down" or something - constantly all day long like every 5-10 minutes of use. In the last few weeks the screen brightness has gone whacko - keeps getting bright and dim randomly. I can go on and on..

my wife and i both have the Atrix 2...and our bill from ATT starts over on the 24th of every month and i have an app for data monitoring to tell exactly how much data we've used (since we only have the 200M pkg and we have WIFI at house and work), on the 24th (the day that data resets) my wife got a notice from the monitoring app (ONAVO (which i recommend for everyone to try)) saying that a data hogger was using a lot of data. she checked and it said two apps used a TON of data (she hadnt turned her WIFI on yet or it did it in the car on the way home) in just a couple minutes.These two apps were "Rx Networks PGPS Seed Downloader" and "Phone" (whatever that "App" is.) so i quickly clicked the option in the Onavo app that restricts these apps uses to WIFI only.Now, i haven't figured out *** these apps do, but i only found a thing on the Rx networks one, but still not sure why all the data.

I figured i wouldn't search google for "Phone" app. that'd just be dumb.So anyway, the Rx networks app incurred 37.9MB and the "phone" app used 20.9MB.

I recently updated a bunch of apps on my phone that I have had for a while. I then started noticing that my battery would not last a half a day. It used to last over a day easily. Then today got a text saying that i have almost reached my 2gb data limit. So I installed the My Data Manager app and it is showing that the Contacts app is constantly communicating with something. I have an corporate exchange account for my email and contacts.How do i tell what is causing the contacts to constantly communicate?

Since 2/23, I have had massive data usage at random times. 1GB here and there, sometimes in the middle of the night.My Data Sense shows that the "Restore data" app has used 8.17 GB in the last two days. All of my other apps are using negligible amounts of data.What is the "Restore data" app, and how do I tell it to stop using so much data?
One additional bit of info: 2/23 was also the date that the Microsoft Health app updated. I use a MS Band. It seems like there may have been some type of update pending on the band. When I called Verizon's tech support, they said that the pending update might have something to do with the massive data usage. We completed the update to the Band, and they said to give it another day to see if the data usage continues. What this "Restore data" app is, it doesn't sound like it has anything to do with the Band.

Just recently noticed that my data consumption was getting higher and higher, it started 2 days ago that now my e-mail app is consuming 1.65 GB of background activity and I have received a SMS from my data supplier that I have used 90% of my capacity for this month! Also this is draining up my battery like crazy , in less than 1 hour my battery went from 100 to 55 ... My cellphone model is SK17A. Could it be for the ICS update?

I am new to these forums and Blackberry.In Gibraltar, we have a Telecom provider whose data plan is £29.00 a month.
I would like to get a Blackberry but have been told that apart from the phone rental and call charges I have to pay the £29.00 a month data package to enable any email functions on the phone.
This apparently is due to the setup between my provider (Gibtel) and RIM.I have the choice of many other phones which mean I can use emails and all the functionality of the phone without (e.g. Wifi) having a data plan.

i'm currently contemplating about upgrading my old phone to iphone 4 and adding the 200mb/month plan. i just have a few questions about the usage though.
if i moderately use
-meebo with push for im'ing
-textplus
-facebook
and no
-Internet
-streaming music/videos
-sending/viewing emails with photos/attachments
and having wifi a pretty decent amount in the day.would i have a good chance of staying under 200mb?if not, i could probably remove facebook because that has pictures, and then would i have a good chance?

I've had my Atrix for almost a month and I installed the app called My Data Manger.It worked pretty good through Aug until the update. My Data is saying I have used 5.5mb of my 200 mb plan. At&T says I've used 6.08 MB. I've reinstalled My Data Manager but it won't let me put in 6.08 or any decimal points. I like the layout and I'm wonder is there any data manager programs that are extremely accurate and will work sort of the same way?

I've a number of problems with ICS (too many to enumerate here). Furthermore there are a number of android OS apps in GingerBread that are not in ICS. Bluetooth DUN for instance.It's there but in name only. It has 0 bytes; the data, cache and the app itself. Its not limited to BT DUN as well, there are several others. I've read that ATT has flashed phones back to GB any comments, knowledge etc?

I am heading out for a trip in a few weeks and there is not a wireless connection where I will be staying. I am currently on the 2gb per month plan, and I would like to switch to the 4gb teathering plan ONLY for the month that I will be gone. When(before I leave for trip,at the beginning of the billing period) should I switch plans (both to the teathering and them back to the 2gb plan) and which plan will show up on my bill?

my data connectivity very often turns off and won't turn on again by itself. For example when I wake up in the morning, I see the WiFi symbol and the network connectivity symbol. The data symbol in the middle (H+, E or G) is missing. It sometimes won't turn on all day unless I switch the airplane mode on and off.

I just installed the app my data manager and I notice that something called RICH CLIPBOARD is what is using most of my data. Does anybody know what this is, and how can I stop it or reduce the usage?

I miss being able to easily send and receive images via text message.
This was a major way that I communicated with my farflung family. With the Atrix, I can't seem to get this to work without going to settings and enabling the data network for everything that might want to use it ( and that seems to be a considerable number of things despite my efforts to choose wireless only options.) I realize I can turn it on briefly to send (though that's a multi-step process) but there's no way to anticipate when an MMS message is coming in.

I was just curious to know if this is considered a known bug / will be fixed in the gingerbread update.After using wifi and walking out of the wifi zone (eg, out of my house and down the street) I will check my phone to find that the mobile data connection has not re-started itself, and only a reboot will fix this issue. Other issues have been my phone will get stuck only being able to upload (and not download the resulting pages/data) as well as the symbol disappearing completelyafter a little bit of research I found this may be a problem with 2.2.2 froyo and for my sake I hope it is, but I was just curious to make sure it is fixed in future updates.

How can I delete all of the contact data, without doing a complete reset of the phone? This needs to be done, occasionally, in order to freshly repopulate the contacts, and not end up with duplicates in the phone. The phone gurus at Best Buy and AT&T were also frustrated by the absents of this "Delete All" contact's feature.

So after upgrading OTA to 2.3.6 and performing a factory reset on my Atrix 4G, I've noticed that stock google talk app loses connection with the server after a few minutes while the phone is asleep. As soon as I wake up the phone, The network status icon is gray and within 30 seconds or so, the phone reconnects with the google servers and the icon turns blue again.
I've never had this issue before while on 2.2 and 2.3.4. I've made sure the app is always open and background data is enabled. Also my battery mode is set to performance mode so it should sync all day.

Sometimes in the middle of listening to online radio, sending photos over gmail, or updating facebook, my phone stops sending/receiving data.I correct this by resetting the phone. What's causing the phone to stop receiving data all of a sudden?

Since I got my phone in April, I've been experiencing this weird, random thing. Out of nowhere, my phone just loses the files stored in the internal memory/data of the phone. I have lost applications, pictures, music, and videos spontaneously.

What is your average data connection speeds? Yesterday I noticed that my speeds are severely lacking, especially when comparing to a HTC Inspire.When I called AT&T to inquire if my speeds were normal, the lady said no.After looking she said my SIM card number was wrong, again.This has become a frequent answer to most of the hiccups I've had since February.Side note, with this recurring SIM issue keep me from getting updated or will that be based on the IEMI?

I had activated the screen lock feature for my mobile. I had used fingerprint detection and the password method. I discovered that if the password is entered wrong 5 times, the phone erases all the data on the phone as well as the memory card. I want to disable this feature.When the password is entered wrong 5 times. It should just not allow the user to enter password for another 5 minutes.
