Background app using 3g??

**ari tanjung** · 12-05-2011 04:45 AM

Hey people, my first post in the forums!

Ive been looking for this answer but I couldnt find it anywhere, even here in the forums! Recently I installed 3G Watchdog Pro version on my Samsung Galaxy S, and when I saw that something used 20kb a few seconds later, I decided to see what was it. Two things that I cant understand:

1) 3G Watchdog says tht only 20kb where used, but if you open the usage per app, it shows WAY more than that (it was around 300kb, roughly 15 times more). Why is that?

2) The things that used 3G the most where 2 blocks of information. I will list then and try my best to put some of then in English and a few are in my mother language:

- Block one:
Caller (translated)
SimDetachNotifier
Callers Storage (translated)
Calls (translated)
SIMs Kit
wipeoutreceiver
CSC
DataCreate

-Block two:
Network Location (translated)
Mobile Tracker
Self Test Mode
com.sec.android.app.lcdtest
com.samsung.InputEventApp
Configurations (translated)
PhoneSetupWizard
Error (what is that???)
Syncronization and accounts configurations (translated)
Device Management
WlanTest
Configurations Storage (translated)
CP Message
VPN Services (translated)

Mobile Tracker
Factory Test
Task Manager (translated)Android System (translated)
Service mode
BluetoothTest
Perso
Preconfig
BrcmBluetoothServices
google Backup Transport

Could you guys give me a help? If that consumed 300kb in a few seconds, it will kill my data plan (100Mb) in no time!!

Thanks title=Smile

...assuming that 300KB is constant data usage. Can you verify that its constantly using data at that rate? It sounds like you looked once and made an assumption.

Go to menu-settings-accounts and sync. Check what is syncing, and how often, and disable anything you dont need to automatically sync.

THen go through ALL of your apps, and all of their settings, to make sure there is nothing set to run in the background.

Oh and stop using the task killer.

I tought it could be it, but everytime I reseted the counter to start another observation, it went way up again in no time, so I dont think its just a one way thing.

They are NOT needed, and only make things worse. This could be whats causing a spike in data, if the killer is killing an app that is trying to sync, then it just has to re-open and sync again. Just read those links, and stop using it.

Thanks for the reply sitlet. I uninstalled the app killer. However, it didnt do anything by itself, only if I went there and chose which apps to kill, so I dont think it is related. Or is it?
