Background information:
Phone is a Samsung Galaxy S2 on firmware 4.0.4 and rooted.
The problem started a few days ago. I live in a rural area where there is very little bandwidth available, currently when I turn on wifi it stops any other user on the same network from being able to do anything.
I decided to try and find an app that would let me monitor wifi usage per application, google led me to this thread: http://androidforums.com/android-applications/86525-network-monitoring-per-application.html so I installed "My Data Manager". What it shows is an app called "Streaming Media" starting to use all available bandwidth. Googling gives me nothing: "Streaming Media" is just too broad of a term. Under settings > Applications I can't find anything with this name or similar. Task Manager > RAM > Clear RAM, temporarily closes whatever is causing it but it soon starts again.
I've changed my droidwall settings to only allow wifi access to specific apps and it's worked so far, but I'd prefer a more long-term fix. Previously the settings were to allow everything wifi access and allow 3G access to specific apps.
Any help is appreciated.
