I have a strange problem, in a week of having the phone, I have used 900+ mb and was clueless how I was using this much data, I occasionally use Pandora and the internet and text, but no where near 900 mb worth. So today at work, I noticed that my phone was downloading in the background via the system panel app and an ATK kill all open apps has not stopped the data, it will continue to download. THe only thing that makes it stop is to restart the phone or end all processes in the system panel app.
The active apps in system panel are Handcent, HTC IQ agent, HTC sense, Messages, system panel, touch panel and voicemail. Any help would be appreciated!
EDIT, oh and i did unchecked the enable always on data

I had the same problem but I used 1.5GB in a week and didn't use pandora once. I fixed the problem by doing 2 things in conjucntion so i dont know which one worked.
First i followed the instructions in the first post of the following link: [How-To] Better battery life, reduce Time Without Signal. - xda-developers

Then i did a hard reset. settings>>>privacy>>>factory reset

I had this same exact problem. I had read this fix else where, and it worked for me. Check your gmail app, and see how many accounts is syncing. There seems to be an issue with the evo and syncing more than one gmail account at the same time. For me, it the background data use stopped as soon as I set my secondary google account to not sync. Try it out.
