Need some help here. My S2 is using a massive amount of data and I don't know why. I get a 1gb allowance every month and in the space of a few days, its all gone. Gave my network (O2) a call and all they tell me the data usage occurs in the mornings. That doesnt help much. Can anyone shed any light on this? Its doing my head in. Im on the latest ICS and atm, its unrooted. Hopefully one of you great people will be able to help me out. Got a sensation and this is fine, got a nokia lumia and this is fine. Thanks in advance guys
Get a data monitor from play store which will identify which app/process is using your data. All the best.

You can restrict data for certain amount of mb as u want in setting data usage

Hi there,
You can download an app from google market called Permissiondog.
It tells you what permissions each app has on your phone so you can see which ones have access to your data usage.
It's handy for other things too! like checking if an app is being sneaky and accessing things on your phone other than what they' ve stated.
It could possibly be some malware that you have installed so maybe get a virus checker too I use Avast and it's pretty good.
Good luck!!
I downloaded and installed 3GS Watchdog as recommended by Tefanym. The culprit is the email app!!! Its used something like 548mb in a couple of days. Ive turned my data off atm but how can I fix this? Is there a fix or do I need to get back in touch with my network??
Check email settings for sync options, perhaps you can limit the number of times it syncs with its server

Lot of traffic for a mail. It's private or business one? You can try to limit how often the app is syncing. Also you can try to play with the settings like to download only headers etc.

After the update, you need to log out and then log back in for changes to take full effect. I prefer to uninstall completely then install the updated version, it avoids the bugs.
Once you've done that, it will no longer ping GPS when viewing the news feed

Use friendcaster, a friend of mine has it and no complains, i personally use the mobile site, and have an app to upload pics and vids to fb, and fb notifies me via gmail, works best for me no issues

A lot of Android apps love to keep tabs on you and are constantly gathering location, personal, or contact data info. That's why I use LBE Privacy guard app, it allows you to deny permissions that go along with downloaded apps

They are trying to make it closer to the iOS version (pull to refresh...etc). And the iOS Facebook app pings the GPS every time it refreshes the news feed. Not totally sure why.

Yeah, I forgot, location based updates are something Facebook is doing now. Weird that it's wrong for you though. I never update my status enough to notice.

I just spent 20 minutes searching the threads and can't find my answer, so I thought I would take a chance and make a thread about this. If there is a thread about this, I apoligize in advance and I will go and crawl under a rock and hide! I'm just curious Why are all links in our emails not clickable they are just text format, I found something about this in a different site but I think the expertise in XDA is far superior, IMO so I don't trust anybody else...Thanks in advance.

Just to elaborate on my original post, what I found on the other site was that someone said that the legal team at Apple is what caused us to lose the ability to click on links in our email, which sounds stupid....
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using Tapatalk 2
Yeah I don't use stock email app since gmail is my only email :/
That's weird... Google has been slipping lately
But to elaborate on your elaboration, if the legal issue was true, why does Gmail allow it? Is HTC in the meat grinder deeper than Google maybe?

With all the bs apple is doing to keep their competition on lockdown just so they won't get out sold, you can't really blame htc, best option would be to find an alternative email app as you previously said, though to be honest, I only use the default because I'm too lazy to configure my school account on the hotmail app.
I have the same issue.
Rooted and Flashed my Amaze 4g Telus yesterday and now on ICS.
Can't click on any links in emails and that's very anoying since i have 3 email account link to the phone and have plenty of links in them.
Anything that could help to bring back that feature ?
It's a no go, thank apple for that.
I don't think that's the case cause i had ICS on my Desire HD just before that phone and the links where still there.
I figured it out you have to go into settings, then send & receive, and change the mail size limit. The default is at 5kb, which is only text. If you change it to maximum size it will even show pictures. You have to reset app after you change the size limit so it takes effect though.

Hello,
I found something strange, with the sync disabled in System settings and in the application settings I still manage to receive mail from the corporate app (Exchange), however not from my Gmail account.
Thank you

Thank you, but this does not solve my problem.
As I use corporate mail application for my work, I don't want to freeze it, I just want to be able to stop synchronizing when I want it (e.g. week-end).
So I do not understand why I continue to receive corporate emails when accounts synchronization is shut off.

As you can see in my signature, I'm running CM9 nightly builds with the latest fluxi Kernel
I'm having a weird issue that I can't quite figure out the cause of. I have my Sprint S3 rooted and have flashed the Blazer ROM 1.6 on it. I haven't had any issues that I know of until now. I have my work email, which is run on a Microsoft Exchange Server, hooked up to my phone. I get notifications fine, emails, invites, etc. However, randomly, emails will not show up in their entirety. It will show 5 or 6 lines of the email and then nothing else. If I forward the email to another account, like my gmail account, the entire email is there.
Has anyone else seen this issue? I have tried searching and can't find anyone else with the issue. I thought at first it was my particular phone, but I returned it and got another S3 and the same thing happens.
Right now I have it back to stock, still rooted, and I'm not seeing the issue. That's what's making me think it might have to do with the Blazer ROM.
Hopefully someone else has come across this issue.
Should be in the Blazer thread not General......
You might try a full wipe and reflash. I have not heard reports of truncated messages.

OK. Sorry about that. I'll repost it there. And I have tried wiping and reflashing. And it's happened to me on both phones that I have had in the past week, which seems weird. I'll get this post moved. Thanks.

Man, it's so odd. I have the email size set to All. And it's not on every email. It's only every now and then. I'm going to try another email app and see if it still happens.

I'm glade you like it as I have been using it for quite sometime now. I like that you can back it up in TB and take it with you from rom to rom. Plus you don't have to lock down your phone, just lock the email application itself.

What exactly do you mean by not having to lock down your phone, just lock the email application itself? You mean securing it so no one can get into your email?
