Hey all. Recently switched to T-Mobile and got the g2. I immediately rooted it to customize things how I wanted them. Everything I have been doing has been with WiFi enabled. I never turn it off, honestly. In just about 10 days, I hit my 3 gig data cap, and have no idea how. I was rooted, and thought my Rom could be part of the reason, so I KDZ flashed back to stock. Now all my data usage is wiped, but obviously still at data cap. Is there anyway I could take it into the store? It's going to look really bad on my end when I tell them I factory reset my phone because I hit data cap, but it just doesn't make sense. I never came anywhere close to 3 gigs of data on Verizon, and that was a whole months use with not much WiFi involved. A bit irritated right now.... any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Sounds like your rom is indeed part of the reason you hit the cap so quickly. I've only got 2gb of data myself so I understand. I'd try a different rom, I wouldn't bother bringing it into a store as they will know your rooted unless of course your out of warranty but either way don't give them the benefit of them even knowing

Did you check to see what was using all your data before doing a reset?

You could try re-flashing the ROM and take a look at what's draining your data. I'm sure the ROM's creator(s) would like to know if there's a bug that is causing excess bandwidth usage.
This thread is worth looking at. It might be a setting you made or app you installed, or some setting/app in the particular ROM you installed that you enabled or is enabled by default. ghling's issue was that certain services were constantly trying to sync, but syncing was disabled because of something he installed because he didn't want those services, so it just kept trying to sync over and over and over, causing massive bandwidth usage.

Well, it seems the denied access rights were the problem, after reverting them (or better: disable app ops for the play services) everything is back to normal. It's a bit strange that it took some days until the problem occurred, but that's how it sometimes is.
Thank you again for your help.

Not sure if this helps or not but I've noticed the rom I am currently running all of the sudden shows 4G and WiFi running at the same exact time. That seems to be a possible issue I think... I have to check my usage to be sure

You don't happen to be running SlimRom are you? I think that was the issue most likely. I was downloading a large KDZ, while on wifi, and all of a sudden my browser data usage jumped to 1.5 gig's out of no where. This was actual data usage, not wifi usage.
It might be worth to double-check with T-Mobile if you really actually hit your data limit. I heard some bad news about their business practices and I could imagine them trying to skim off some data bandwidth from people that would not hit their data limit. Just a thought ... I might be wrong, though

He used an app to deny access rights to certain Google services. Permissions is a better word, since that's what Android uses. He didn't want them to connect to the internet for syncing, but the app he used to deny permissions didn't stop the services from trying, which caused it to be constantly trying/failing, which used up his data allotment.
It's entirely possible that the ROM you flashed has some sort of syncing or updating issue with some app or service and is doing the same thing. You should have checked to see what was using all your data before doing a reset.

I'm pretty sure that's just from the unrefined nature of the .75 leak. Have you considered updating to the .79 leak? It remains fastbootable while patching a lot of bugs and I would guess increase performance.
I don't think so. I've had ICS for 2 months now and the problem is only recent. I don't know if it is an app I downloaded or what. The problem is that I don't know how to find out what it is. Between Amazon free apps and other programs, I don't know how to diagnose what is killing my battery and slowing my phone down. I am sure there is a way to figure it out, I just don't know how other than deleting an app a day and watching performance. I imagine there must be an easier way.

Do you always use 4G? It has higher power consumption.
Do you have any under clock settings for screen off that you just set, the lower frequency could be keeping it out of deep sleep.
And to see what apps are using up your battery, download Watchdog Task Manager Lite, it informs you of tasks, apps or processes that are using up a lot of cpu, memory and keeping your phone awake while in deep sleep.

I stopped using WiFi 2 days after getting the phone because 4G is honestly faster and I still have unlimited data. I have never used any set-cpu settings because I never felt I had to with this phone like I did on my DInc2. The issue I have is it was working great one day, and suddenly the performance changed without anything I can think of other than keeping skype on. I just flashed back to .181 with the expected ICS OTA. Totally screwed up. Didn't nandroid, didn't TB, just did it on a whim. Now I have encountered a whole new set of issues. It's gonna be a long night. Once I get all this fixed, I will try the app you suggested so thanks. Sigh.
"The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." And now I can't do crap with it other than reboot. Man, I should have just left well enough alone. Dammit.
What Leak you got installed? If it's the 75 or 79 you can flash back to 181 I guess.
That's what I read the last days many times.

Yeah.. just flashed back to .181. Voodoo rootkeeper didn't work. I got root back through the razr utility. TB wouldn't work but then I rebooted and it worked although I got the error message I mentioned above. Did a factory reset. Kept root but now my backup directory in TB is not available. Tried rebooting and it still won't work. At this point, all I care about is that my alarm works and I can go to bed and work on it again tomorrow. BTW.. after having ICS for the last few months, I forgot how much Gingerbread sucks just on a user friendly level. Took me a Google search to remember how to turn on USB debugging. :laugh:
Nevermind. You can't restore from TB while still plugged and in debugging mode because the system can't access the SD card. D'oh!
Note to all users. Always back your s**t up before you mess with your phone. I hadn't TB'd in a week and lost all my notes from this week. Thankfully the phone is working back to normal on 2.3, but I lost some numbers I needed to call because I forgot to backup.
Good news: I can focus on my original problem and find out what is killing the battery.
Bad news: I didn't TB and don't know where my dentist appt is tomorrow, lost the numbers to 2 new clients and 1 new booty call.
Extra bad news: She was really hot too. :crying:

Keeping Skype on, especially when not connected to WIFI was most likely your problem, look at how low your cell standby was in that screenshot, that's indicative of something constantly using the cell radios and clearly it wasn't your voice calls, so skype maintaining a constant data connection plus it preventing the phone from going to deep sleep is almost certainly the source of that problem.

Today was a crap day. I am back to .181 without root. Voodoo didn't work for me. Oh well. The problem now is that when I root through Matt's utility and then restore with TiBu, it creates all sorts of issues with my phone like my home screen reloading, the calendar being unable to load, the home button not working, etc. The phone is fine now, but I want it back to all the settings I had. Could it be because I backed up while on ICS and now am trying to restore on GB?

The backing up on ICS and restoring to GB would only mess up if you're restoring apps and data because ICS app data isn't compatible with GB.

That is exactly what I was doing. What option would I want to choose when I restore?
In the past four days or so, I've gone from 2GB to 3GB of data usage and gone over my limit.
I have rarely left the house in the past four days, and I've been connected to wi-fi the entire time.
Data usage was left on, but doesn't the system prioritize wi-fi, anyways?
I've gone ahead and installed Onavo to find out what's going on once my data cycle restarts, but I'm wondering if anybody has any ideas as to what might've happened.

I've not noticed any data spikes although I haven't been closely monitoring or testing with various roms. If you think it's related to the rom somehow you'll have to test it on your own.
Over the next couple days, when you go to sleep or are on wifi, keep a log of your data usage. First day keep wifi and data on. Next day keep only wifi on. Record the hours of which wifi was on and see if there is any significant data usage during those hours. If you have a backup with your previous rom then perform the same steps. Compare results.

I just noticed that android OS is not only using up an unheard of majority of my battery, but also using up an outrageous amount of data! Luckily for me, I'm grandfathered in to unlimited from the first iPhone, but for those of you on limited plans, this could be a big chunk of data that you don't even know about! I've uploaded pictures.
Anybody else notice this spike in used data? I got this phone 6 days ago. That's about 80mb a day, which would send some of you over your limits in less than a month without touching the browser, facebook, or ANY applications.
From what I understand about software development in my college career thus far, a solution to the problem MUST be around the corner. Something like this doesn't go unnoticed. If it is an ICS problem though, I fear we are out of luck until JB rolls out.
Mine has only used 219 megabytes in the past five days. Almost half of yours.

I have been having battery drain issues on beans town ROM ever since i loaded Build 7 (currently on build 10). 20% battery drop in 4 hours of sleep (even with the Wifi and 4G off)
I am trying to determine what is causing it. I have screen capture of the warnings below and the alarm screen is blank in Better Battery Stats- The other 2 attachments are from yesterday
I have Google location off.
I am strongly considering just going back to stock at this point- the drain is not acceptable.
Stock got 2 days with normal use (I have responded to other posts where they say it depends etc etc- understand that but- big but- normal use on stock for 24 hours took it down to maybe 55%- i can drop to 55% in 8-9 hours with the phone unused in sleep on this ROM )

Hi- no attitude but I am wondering if I am the only one seeing this or not. I realize this is "for free" support and people help here because they love the technology or just want to help- so i appreciate that- sorry if I gave that impression.
I live in a heavy populated area in Atlanta with strong signal, even in the house (at least 3bars). the calls i think were 1 min 47 seconds if i recall correctly. regarding Wifi- i may have turned it back on right before the screen shot as I saw the battery still going down at pretty much the same rate)
I am wondering if it is an inherent HW problem with either the battery or something with the air interface- motherboard
Based on the screenshots, your phone was on for just under 5 hours, and wifi was on for 4.5 hrs of that time, so 90% of the time. If wifi was on, but not connected and was scanning, I could see that causing significant drain. Also, do you have any theme installed? Any other changes made to the ROM itself?

I have wifi set to turn off when phone is asleep- when i wake the phone, I see that wifi is off and it will reconnect to the AP at my house.
I lost some train of thought when switching threads but i believe Wifi was off (I know it shows on in the screenshot)- which makes me think something is amiss here in HW. that is why i am pretty sure i turned off all interfaces last night and left them off.
I also have power saving mode on for the phone.
The phone is at 51% currently- I will place it back on charger to take it to 100% then turn off all air interfaces and see what happens
That a good plan?
Go into your apps and clear the data on wifi share... why if your phone is sleeping it needs to be using wifi 58 percent of the time? ...this tells me an app is waking the phone...so look and see what is causing the most wake locks...once you find the app causing the most wake locks... Delete it and reinstall... Then go into the settings of that app and set your sync to a reasonable interval... Last of all go have three hours of coffee at star bucks and use their wifi to check and see if your modem is causing the problem...
Other solutions....use sd maid and clean all system, apps, and ghost files..
Do a davlik and cache wipe in recovery
And last effort do a davlik and cache wipe with a reinstall of your rom...
Keep in mind after each step your phone will use excessive battery because it will be adding files and moving things around... SO patience is important when cleaning and installing because it may take a few full discharges and charges before it settles down and gives you a good idea of what your battery life will be like

Quick thing have you wiped both caches and fixed permissions? Sometimes that will do wonders when the phone is acting up.
Also I was just pointing out it sounded like you were giving attitude. I actually figured you were just frustrated at this point. I've seen the posts in beans thread. So I wanted you to clarify before getting flamed.
The community will get this fixed. Beans had great battery life when I ran it before switching back to Eclipse so it's something going in on your phone.

I have a great idea, get rid of the task killer or set it to manual. Task killers will destroy your battery life if set to auto kill.
Also do you have an SD card? Take it out for a few hours and see what the battery life is like. If it gets better then copy everything to your computer and format the card and copy it back.

Thanks for the pointers. I will respond to all the questions ( I think) here
I have done this previously (did not help)- suggested also by another response
1. Wiped Davlik cache and fix permissions
2. upgraded to 2.4.3 TWRP from 2.3.2
3. Wiped Davlik cache and fix permissions again (twice on 2.4.3)
4. I have not done anything with regard to the SD card- I will look at that after looking at the Wifi closer
In Wifi- I can see wifi direct share process in all in one toolbox but do not see an app- I would assume wifi is part of the kernel. I am not sure how to clean the cache or delete/reinstall the wifi direct share unless it's a .apk hanging around outside the /system/apps folder-update- i found it- cleared data and will let rthe phone run for a few hours
I did not play around with the Stock build from VZW- it was 2 days right out of the box with "normal" call use.
The reason I think it's a HW issue is that this si a replacement phone for the one the girlfriend cracked after having a new one from VZW for 20 days. That was the phone that could go 2 days on stock unaltered VZW. This I am sure is a refurb from the repair depot. I placed Beanstown 7 on it right after I got it (I practiced unlocking on the cracked original phone)

I have a great idea, get rid of the task killer or set it to manual. Task killers will destroy your battery life if set to auto kill.
Also do you have an SD card? Take it out for a few hours and see what the battery life is like. If it gets better then copy everything to your computer and format the card and copy it back.

Thanks for suggestion- Advanced Task Killer is set to disable (no auto kill already). I will look at SD card once i look at Wifi
Update this morning
Girlfriend used phone for maybe 30 minutes or so this morning. I have attached the better battery Stats
I noticed that Wifi is on and running most of the time- even though it is set to turn off when phone sleeps. Is the next step then to Starbucks or can I simply turn Wifi off
When i loaded Build10, I followed the instructions.
1. Wipe Data- I did not format data
2. Factory reset
3. Wipe Davlivk Cache and cache
4. Installed ROM
Manually turn off wifi. Also do you have another battery monitor app besides bbs? Ultimately though your phone is going into deep sleep so I'm not sure what going on

Ok will do- I do not have another app but happy to buy/try another one. I do have another battery as well.
She's out with the phone for a bit- do I need to fully charge and then turn off wifi or can I reset the battery stats (assume I can) and just turn off wifi?

Is that better? Bbs should tell you what's keeping it awake. I asked about sket monitor because I was wondering what your 1 partial wake locks was.

Just my two cents...i always use titanium or romtoolbox to delete maps as google maps was draining my battery.. Also kernel can make a difference..location servives and maps keeps wifi searching and almost constantly in use and if services on and wifi off they will keep trying to reconnect. I feel running maps is a battery waste. If i need directions i will google address. Call me old fashioned but ill read,read,understand the set my path..i prefer battery life
I get almost 48 hrs out of battery with 5hrs screen...only 24 with closer to 9hrs sscreen on, was half that with locations and maps running

I was checking my data usage today and noticed that over the weekend I used ~750 MB of data. Looking closer, my phone says it was mainly due to GlanceViewMk. GlanceViewMk used 723MB of background data and almost 40 MB of foreground data. Over the weekend, I was out shopping and let my son use my phone. He was playing Dr Panda's airport, Temple Run, and Cut the Rope. In the 45 or so minutes he used it, my battery went from ~85% to basically dead. I thought it was a little odd at the time, but I think thats when it happened. He was right in front of me in the cart so I know he wasn't doing anything out the ordinary.
Any ideas why GlanceViewMk would use so much data? Luckily I still have unlimited data otherwise that would have been an overage. Some screenshots are attached.
Using HyperDrive ROM. Have not installed many apps lately or anything crazy.
Anyone have any thoughts?
That's weird I thought glance view was the feature where you wave your hand in front of the proximity sensor when the screen's off and it displays the time plus missed notifications. How could that use 700mb of data?

Thats what gets me. Did I have some spyware app or something? I actually loaded a new version of Hyperdrive since then and no more problems, but still worries me.

I doubt it but I really couldn't tell you what went on with that so weird.
Have you backed up and restored your data usage in the past?

No I try to only restore the basics when I put a new ROM on.
