1 week with at&t and high data usage? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

i used almost 1.2gb of data in the past week with at&t. we are always on wifi like 90% of the time. same setup on our phones we had with verizon and tmobile. is this normal for the note 2 and one x? google voice works over wifi right? i just cannot figure this out. at this rate id go over our 4gb data plan well within a month.
if this keeps up i may have to go back to tmobile with their unlimited data.

Check out whats using your data. Settings/Data usage. Should be easy to identify the culprit

right but when your on wifi, it shouldn't use data or am i incorrect? im wondering if my wife's facebook and weatherbug app are causing this when shes at work? ill have to check when she gets home tonight.

That is correct... If you are connected via wifi then your data usage should not be charged.

Ever get throttled?
Current Devices: At&t Samsung Galaxy Note, Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Asus Google Nexus 7 Super Tablet
Current Roms: Jedi XP12 (Note 2), AOKP (Galaxy Nexus), Nexus 7 Stock

Are you sure you are connected to the wifi? I had the same problem thinking I was connect and later found out I wasn't. Also make sure your router is connected to the Internet also.

Can anyone explain what's wrong?

I've been using my GNex for a few weeks now with rarely any issues. But until recently, after using this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631796 for a while, the market is giving me errors when attempting to download apps. Here's the error in getting:

If I understand eqjunkie829 post correctly you should be able to use the steps below:
1. Navigate to Settings > Accounts & sync
2. Select your Google account
3. Menu > Remove Account
4. Sign in again
6. Go to Settings > Apps > All > Google Play Store > Clear data
7. Reboot

I remember people mentioning this app works on the Nexus as well somewhere in these forums. It FEELS like there's a difference in input responsiveness. Maybe it's a placebo effect.
As for the rest, I'll try that. Thanks everyone

why didn't you just beam the file through the NFC tap?
I noticed that our Nexus cannot receive any .apk file. So thats the reason why...

Speedtest.net

Is this app broken? It keeps hanging on downloading and then telling me I'm getting 6k down. I'm getting a lot faster than that, in 2013 that kinda speed would pretty much give you virtually no connection.

Yeah my data has been working fine. It's been fast enough I haven't missed LTE, streamed some Pandora over it, downloaded several apps, and plenty of Web browsing, just wish I could see what kind of speed I'm actively getting.

[Q] Samsung Glaxy Note 2 WiFi problem

Hello;
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 running Jelly Bean 4.1.2
Problem:
Sometimes my WiFi turns itself on, i turn it off and stare at the screen couple seconds later it turns itself on without me touching the phone.
When at home and the WiFi is turned off it says "Connected to VirginMedia (my WiFi)" and makes my signal cut out (Internet signal E.G H+).
Its highly annoying, ive tried changing things in the WiFi advanced settings and the mobile data settings and it still continues to do this.
I have done the *#0011# and gone to WiFi and turned power saving move off and no change :\
I havent updated anything recently and its only just occured
Please someone help !
Sounds like you u have the malware that is Sprint Connection Optimizer enabled.

Amigo, "Sprint Connections Optimizer" is a system utility that Sprint jams in to their stock ROMs. You cannot remove it, all you can do is turn it off. I believe via Network Setting somewhere.
The theory behind the utility is that it checks what internet connections are available and picks the quickest one....the reality is that it wastes battery and does a terrible job at optimizing anything,
Oh okay, ive seen videos for the s3 etc its simply untick it but the Note 2 doesn't have that option I cant find it anywhere :/

[Q] What's the most data you've used in a month?

What's the most data you've used in a month, and did Verizon do anything about it?
I'm wondering because recently my Verizon Unlimited Data plan has become my only means of internet access and, well:
http://goo.gl/fLIaZL
Particularly, I'd like to know if anyone has gotten anything from Verizon, like say, a letter to stop or even a termination (I'm off-contract)?
And yes, please post screenshots of your data usage lol
Here you go . I've never had a problem

I'm also on unlimited with my daughter, she tethers sometimes and I told her to try to keep it short but now I think I'll just tell her to use as much as she want. The most she has used is like 2 or 3gb.

Since I'm on Sprint with 3G, it would take me a full month of downloading to even reach a GB. I think the most I've even reached was 250 MB. Sprint 3G usually gets me around 0.05 Mbps. I can't wait until LTE arrives in my area!
