Hi,
I am planning to change my carrier. But I found out that the new carrier charges for every established data connection 1 Megabyte. I think that is a lot. I heard that checking the e mail headers is less than 10 Kb.
I wrote this to the carrier and they said that is no problem because a UMTS smart phone keeps the connection all the time. Only every 12 hours they disconnect to calculate the data usage.
I have a LG G" with slim kat rom. Can someone tell me what the truth is? I know that there is no exact value for reconnection and disconnecting. But does the smartphone really keep the data connection for 12 hours without running any services?
My emails are checked every 30 minutes--> that is 48x times a day --> 48 Mb / day. This is only email. What if the android system or other apps establish connections in the background?
Thank you !

Hello everybody
I'm using a T-Mobile MDA with a Radio ROM Version of 3.23.00.
I've got the problem of too much GPRS connections.
I wrote a little software (C#) which opens a connection into the internet and contacts a server. The data transferred contains informations about the current IP the radio received from my provider. I can see that the IP changes every 10 to 30 minutes (in steps of 10 minutes).
My question: does anyone know of any bug within the radio unit or its ROM which can be responsible for that amount of connections (about 25 to 30 connections per day)?
Thank you very much in advance.

EDIT (19.02.2007): Is there a possibility that the device itself turns off the phone module after an unused period? Does anyone of you know something about the reliability of the coorperation between the MDA I and GPS receivers?
Hi,
As soon as the 3G (or HSDPA) connection is enabled, my phone is uploading large amounts of data. I checked this with Trafficinfo and 3G WatchDog, to verifiy which application was sending so much data.
here is what I found. This doesn't make any sense... It has sent 200 MB within a few hours... Any tips, please?
Note:I tried to change the modem version, but it did not change anything.
Did you ever get this resolved?
I just came across a similar issue. Not to repeat myself, I detailed it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1511527 down to sniffing the traffic
Hi, I wonder if it's possible to force a manual specified mobile data connection to be used.
e.g.
I tell the App that it should force "G" to be used instead "E" even if edge would've a better signal strength. because sometimes I am able to have "G" as data connection with 2or3 from 4 stripes but it switches randomly between "g" and "e" and "edge" has most of the time 4 of 4 stripes.
I just don't get the unnecessary switching between the two GSM data connection types. it's unnecessarily annoying because it's also stop the data transfer. it just su**
especially Samsung devices do a lot of unnecessary mobile data connection switching
we already can force between GSM and WCDMA. but we should be able to force within the different GSM data connections too.
so, would it be possible to code such an app? or is there something like that already available somewhere? did a lot of Google research but I end up with no results.
well, I can understand that this would be some sort of lower priority mod/app but whoever can effort the time and has the skills to write such an application could add the complete set of option to it.
- switch between e, G, H, LTE etc.
- set times when which data connection should be in use
- tell the App to use only GSM when the overall traffic is near a specified amount of data.
- a watch dog for established connections would be nice to and some sort of firewall to deny connections or other way around to have to specifically allow every connection
I have a 5GB high-speed data plan. and I would like to swap automatically to GSM only once I wasted 4GB of it to save a few bytes when I really need full speed.
I am not sure. maybe such a tool is kinda pointless on a smartphone but I would love to see such a tool.
thanks for the read
regards
Hi all,
I got an OnePlus Two and I recently noticed unexpected traffic data usage.
OPT traffic statistic shows a really low data usage but looking to my carrier ones I see several connection using every time the same amount of data: 20480KB.
Even 10 times a day, my data plan is in real danger!
I already factory resetted my OPT with no result.
My OPT is using latest OxygenOS (v2.1.2), it is NOT rooted but it has the bootloader unlocked.
Is there any way or app to monitor this "phantom traffic"?
Please help me.
PS: Traffic data seems to be used even when connected to WiFi.
Greetings,
I own a OnePlus 5T (128GB) and I am running stock firmware (OxygenOS 5.1.7), rooted and bootloader unlocked. I traveled to a country for which I have a local SIM for, but didn't have (yet) any data plan. What I did to prevent unexpected charges was disable mobile data immediately (I did the same to my wife's phone, which is on the same ISP), so that I could receive phone calls and SMS, but I won't use internet and obviously I won't make phone calls or send SMS.
What happened next is that my phone connected for 0 seconds to the internet every day at a random time during the day, triggering a 6€ expense for 10 days.
I searched through the data usage log to see if any app used internet, but it was empty.
Interestingly, my wife didn't get any charge, so I presume that the configuration I used to prevent access to mobile data was correct (it displayed an X instead of 4G+ over the chart showing the mobile signal strength).
What I'd like to discover is what caused the charges (I did get a refund since those connections lasted 0 seconds each), to prevent this from happening again. However, the phone has been completely unhelpful. I do have a data plan now, in case it's needed to perform some tests.
My best guess so far is AFWall+, it's the only application I can picture bypassing the "cellular data off" option. Those connections looked like DNS connections also, due to how short-lived were.
Any suggestion over how to diagnose this?
Thanks for your help.
