Looking through my data usage for the last month with my Mate 10 Pro I noticed two things I am a little curious about.
Over WiFi, the Dialler app has used over 500mb and an app called 1020 has used almost 2.4GB.
I had assumed the Dialler app might be using data when I'm on a call but the data usage does not line up with my calls, the 1020 app also seems to use 20-350MB per day
Can anyone provide any info on this?

Might be VoWiFi that made the trafic .
I do not use it so I cannot confirm if this is the root cause .
You can find Wi-Fi calling in : Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile network
Hope it helps !
Either voice over Wi-Fi / LTE, or China is listening in on your calls

Sorry I did mention that this data usage doesn't line up with the days that I make phone calls and the Mate 10 Pro isn't listed as compatible with WiFi calling on the Optus website
Can anyone suggest a way for me to see what is being up/downloaded? the app "1020" used almost 400MB yesterday and the Dialler app has used over 100MB today despite no calls.

Easy solution : Set up your PC as a wireless access point, then run wireshark on the PC.

Hi all, i've been having this problem with my Sony Ericson xperia Play.
My bills came in as a hefty $$ bomb. I do not have data plan, so all internet activities are charged at GPRS connection rate. I've had my mobile network switched off, so there's no possibility that applications would still connect to data? Or there is? i only use my phone for smsing and dealing calls.
I called my service provider up, and they told me that my phone's internet activity is active and running. have you guys ever encountered such problem? Could anyone please enlighten me?
Thanks in advance to all.
Usually there arent any problems like this for android. And just to
make sure, the box u checked off was in Settings>Wireless & Networks>
Mobile Networks>Data enabled right?
Normally once you get a phone, the data will automatically on. So normally I will boot up without sim at first, then switch off data.
(I've unlimited plan btw)

You could always use an app that will not allow any apps to access the network. ie a firewall like (droid wall for rooted users). That would eliminate your problem. There are many apps out there which need permission to access the network, including the stock email, google maps, the market, and etc.
I'm of the same mind as the previous posters. But if you see data being used ie. the 3G symbol or whatever your data symbol is and it lights up or is present when the check mark on mobile data is off then it's not actually off. In other words if you don't see only the cell singal bars you could be using data. Hope that helps.
Edit: Also you said "SMSing" would that also include pictures or video in your defn of that? If so those are data. At least in the U.S. they are.
There is a program called APNdraoid or sg like that. this program modifies the apn settings and dont allow your phone to connect to mobile internet. btw you can manually change the apn settings from Settings->Wireless&Networks-> Mobile Networks->Access Point Names. all you have to do is to modify the settings (add some text to the end of the apn row)

To avoid data charges (and seems that you don't have a data plan), I would suggest delete all your APN settings under Access Point Name in Mobile network settings.
If the problem still occurs, you can call your operator to disable internet access from your mobile account.

Thanks for the suggestions ! i'd just go ahead and change the apn ! But i still can't find the root to the problem. It's like paying for something i had never used at all ..
Btw, I am curious that if you tried to load a webpage in your browser when mobile network is unticked? If you did, does it load?

You have your Data Connection enabled, right? Another think you could try is switching to EDGE to see if it works with that.
Connection on, tried 2g also...
Maybe carrier has control over tether ability?

Does your carrier allow tethering? Have you tried another SIM?
my girlfriend has a 710 and tethering works on her device, took her sim and got the same error...(i'm a qa engineer and already thought of these options so i guess is a hardware problem)

You can also try a hardreset. There were some changes in the firmwares that are only active after a hard reset.
i find it really stupid that i have to hard reset it...that;s not why i bought the phone..
what are these changes?

Well, I got some new options that allow me to configure call forwarding and the SMS charset... I doubt that it is a hardware problem. Your data connection works properly on the phone?
Yup, always has been working fine...
Is the phone sim unlocked & are you using it on a different service provider? Can you send MMS messages? I suspect WP is looking at some hard coded APN settings when activating internet sharing, & not the one entered under the cellular apn option.
Yes i can MMS messages, but i do have another problem with it that makes me think the celullar modem is faulty....i use it on 2g and sometimes when i receive a call the sound is all distorted when i answer for about 5-6 seconds and then i ca hear the person on the other end...this happens form the day i started using it...
Hi, I just got an S3 a couple of weeks ago and it's an amazing device but I've ran into a problem. When I'm on Mobile Data I do not receive notifications for any app, be it GMail, Email app, Facebook. If I turn on wifi they work perfectly. Here's a list of things I tried.
Enabling Sync option On and Off
Clear data and cache for Gmail, Email, Facebook
Made sure there no limit of Mobile data or that these apps are restricted from using the Mobile Data connection
Switched from ICS to Jellybean
Factory reset after I put in Jellybean
EDIT: My carrier is Orange.
Browsing the net and manually refreshing the apps for new content works.
What could be the problem, guys?

Your carrier can't be 'orange' there's no such carrier... do you mean your carrier is AT&T and you're 'orange' to them? I used to work with cell phone companies and I know AT&T works with three different colors, orange(AT&T), Blue(Cingular) and Red (Cell One) The colors are only a way to separate the old customers who were bought in with the buy of the other companies from the new ones and their plans.
In any case... Mobile Data on, what do you have it 'on'? Are you running 4G, 3G, E or WiFi? Your phone should tell you at the top.... it sounds like even though you have your internet on, it's not getting any data 'signal'... data signal and phone signal are very different, although you might have full bars to get calls, your data may not be transferring through and that's why you're not getting your e-mails...
Your Sync needs to be ON to receive e-mails and you also need to go into your e-mail settings and make it check for e-mails at SOME point, maybe an hour or every 5 minutes, it's up to you on that one.

Orange is a UK carrier and other parts of europe
Or it was until they recently changed their name to EE
Found out the problem. Orange Wap was selected instead of Orange Internet in Settings > Access Point Names.
Wanting to buy the Gear S but without a monthly paid subscription from a carrier (because they oblige me to sign the contract for 2 years, and i know I am not going to keep the Gear S that much time) , but i want to know what options should i request for the pre-paid SIM.
More internet or more voice minutes or more SMS?
the transfer from phone to watch (when not connected through BT) is made through data transfer or through voice? the paid subscription does not specify that.
nobody knows what type of communication the watch uses, except BT?

Your questions are a little confusing.
If your watch it connect to bluetooth on phone then everything uses phone. Data voice everything. If its not. Connected to phone it can use wifi or mobile data

i do not understand your answer.
ok, than let me rephrase.
if the watch is not connected to the phone through BT (due to the fact that the phone is away from the watch), how the notifications are sent from phone to watch? through data transfer or through voice transfer?
the pre-pay SIM used in watch allow me to choose between 1gb of data transfer or 1000 voice minutes per month.

When you place phone calls it will use minutes. When you use internet for browsing or syncing remotely or dowloading it will use data. Trade off is personal choice. Personally i would go with minutes since i have a sim for emergency only. However i went with a payg that gives me a little of both.

Unless the two devices are on the same carrier you'll be using all 3.. Minutes, sms and data. The gear doesn't use much data but u can get all 3 pretty cheap on prepaid

out of curiosity, what does being on the same carrier have to do with anything?

Well if you already have a plan with them you can just add the gear for $5-$10 a month without a contract. And some carriers have unlimited calling/sms between prepaid & postpaid accounts which would give you unlimited forwarding. The data part is trickier but I'm on an at&t account with the watch and it has used under 50mb in almost 30 days.
my devices will be on the same carrier. i will chose the option for unlimited minutes and SMS and use wifi and phone data transfer..

Pretty sure I saw a recent post here with the stock images, or you could use FirmwareFinder
Use the windows hisuite program. It has an option to rollback the firmware.
Can you tell me where in settings I can turn WIFI calling on? I have 10.0.0.177 col-l29 and I can not find it. thanks

So I just switched to O2 and my WiFi calling option has disappeared! Seems like it's a carrier thing and not a phone thing..
I asked them to enable it but it hasn't worked. Maybe contact your network and ask?
Also if someone can get the RadioInfo settings to open (*#*#4636#*#* and *#*#6130#*#*) then we might be able to force it, but mine won't open!
