last week I upgraded to 2.1 on my SE
X10 Mini Pro and although I really like
it and think it's faster and smoother
than 1.6 I have found that if I look at
my phone's data usage first thing in
the morning it appears to have used
over 6mb already.
I have background data switched off,
and gps. and wifi is not set up (also
switched off). what can be using this
much data between 10.30pm and
7.00am?
please help me...
 
I have just looked at the unbilled usage on my account with vodafone and it shows that every 15 moins or so its registering a use that varies between 4kb and 0.5mb. it happens throughout the night and day. so quite a difference and over the course of a day it clocks up a lot of usage that I havent been using.
this has all happened since I upgraded to 2.1. before that it never happened. I suspect its related to an app or something that is running in the background but when I look at the running apps there doesn't appear to be anything out of the ordinary that is running.
please help as this is driving me mad. for the time being I have disabled the data transfer to see if that helps at all.
