Wow dude my wife would kill me. Did all your apps redownload after you flashed? Every time I flash a new ROM, my phone redownloads all my apps for me. So every time I go right to the play store and stop all downloads. Or kill your data. The only app I redownload is titanium backup. If I was smarter I would probably just save it to my SD card. Hope this helped.
Apparently, redownload isn't a word. Thanks, autocorrect.

Take a deep breath...now relax. Hunt around and you'll see that it was due to some stuff that got merged a while ago. Long story short, it's an error that does not reflect actual data usage. It erroneously totals numbers crazy high.
I don't think he would have 33 GB of apps! Plus that much data in just 3 hours? Something is skewed!

Actually he could, the magic of 4G. It could be incorrect data measuring, but OP, are you on AT&T? If so, dial *3282# to see the amount of data used that month. Accidental thanks for you diablo

How much free space did you have?
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda premium
3G average speeds are about 3 Mb/s, so lets do some math! 33.5 GB=about 268Gbs. 268 times 1000=268000. 268000 divided by 3, giving you the amount of seconds it would hypothetically take. You get 89333.3. You divide that by 60 for one whole minute and should get 1488.88, which you divide by 60, to find out how many hours it would take to download at that speed. Which is 24.814 hours. There you have it, not very plausible.

Right. My mistake. I just tried a converter, and to download 11 GB an hour, you need atleast 26Mbps sustained, and on AT&T 4G LTE, average of 36 Mbps is quite the norm for me. So it is actually possible. Thanks Rani.

Try the other APN.
Two are listed from bell.
When in Vancouver or Kingston/ Toronto I can go on XDA over the network...
But when I am in Belleville Ontario I can't connect to XDA for example.
pda.bell.ca has given me issues at times and I have better luck with inet.bell.ca
Next time I am in a XDA dead zone I'll switch around my apns and see if that helps.
But I am sure inet.bell.ca I'd the better one.

Ok so i have noticed something, I'm in virginia beach and my data speeds are faster when charging. Also they slowdown as the battery goes down. I did 3 speed test while at 45% 30% 15% and my speeds where 0.55 mbps 0.25 mbps and 0.01 mbps. Now I'm charging and i did 3 test (same app and my phone is in the same location) and just got 1.01 mbps 1.10 mbps and 1.35 mbps. So does the amount of voltage in the battery affect the amount of power to the radio? This is the first phone it's done it on..... Like my CPU doesn't get slower as the battery goes down so why are my data speeds?
Edit: I'm on the LG8 modem. Those where my download speeds.

here is the whole link http://s4gru.com/index.php?/blog/1/...network-visionlte-deployment-schedule-update/
but the part to look at is this:
"If Sprint waits for 50% completion to launch the Norfolk market, it would make the launch month to be November (should the OEM stay on schedule). If they plan on a 40% market completion for launch, that would be October. You may think that 40% - 50% site completion is not enough to launch LTE service, but it would provide pretty good coverage."
so depending on how much of the towers will be LTE means how long we have to wait.... it will be before 2013 and before December 2012
EDIT: a sprint rep told me we would have WiMax in 2011 (actually it was around this time that we would be getting it), look where we are now.....

I think he post just for fun nothing to do with proud thing
Cause I use more data than he does and not even one month.two more weeks left
I was pretty surprised that I've used close to amount (last I checked a few days ago, 50GB). No tethering no Torrenting. But it seems that the Gallery likes to use nearly 2GB of data in the background every time I set up a new ROM or Reflash. That plus all the Roms and re downloading of apps from the Store. And more recently, the purchase of a couple HD movies and a hand full of re downloads of the Avengers movie.
77Gb on HSPA+? Come to my area Whole brooklyn gets like 0-0.20Mbit, Loading Netflix or Youtube is virtually impossible here. Called T-mobile they said they're fixing tower, well 4 Months and still fixing it? Good thing I have pre-paid I can cancel any time

So about mud day yesterday, I was watching YouTube, all of a sudden everything started buffering no matter what video I watched. Downloaded a couple files and speeds were only 30kB/s. Didn't think anything of it. Thought it was the host. Didn't do much else but use tapatalk and noticed things were a but slow. Did a speed test and it shot up to like 300kB/s then hovered around 30-50kB/s felt that awfully strange.. as that's what would happen on my old throttle plan.
So I went to bed not thinking of it.
Got up this morning and speeds were the same. Stayed the same for the entire day til I got fed up and called T-Mobile. They "said" I wasn't being throttled. And after I *****ed they "reset" my phone on their network and things were back to normal.
Has anyone else experienced like symptoms? I'd hate to think they went this low to throttle us..

Are you sure you have the truly unlimited 4G plan... Or the unlimited data with let's say 2gb, 5gb or 10gb of 4G data.
If you have the truly unlimited data then you shouldn't be throttled. But if you have one of the other three plans where they cap the 4G data then they throttle you after that certain point.
Or maybe t mobile was having issues with your tower and had to reset the connection?

You get 100 uses of tethering anyhow. Then they block you. But as psykhotic said get Netflix and watch HD movies and then tell me how much data you use. Not to mention you can download torrents via your phone. And I never use WiFi except for when transferring files to my phone.

No not 100 uses of tethering.
You can use 100 MB before the block you if you already used the work around on the software they have on the phone.
The program by default on the phone though will actually block you right away.
Unless you use a custom APN then you get blocked after 100 MB.
If you change your User Agent on your browser the the User agent of the phone and you won't get blocked.

Soooo.... why not factory reset while on wifi? I don't understand why people treat the network as a substitute for a home network?
And streaming music doesn't use that much data, you'd have to watch 8 or 10 movies on Netflix to hit a gig. Don't tell me you watch 10 movies a week on your phone. I feel sorry for your eyes.
It is the abuse of the system that will do nothing but raise data rates for all of us. Thanks alot people, enjoy your rerun's of Charles in Charge.
Netflix even on the phone does use more then that. A 2 hour movie would be about 600 mb for that one move.

Hello, so I've been I've been searching around and haven't come up with a definitive answer. I've had the s4 for a couple months now and have been using an excessive amount of data, when I haven't been doing anything out of the norm. With my s2 I had a5 gb plan and only got throttled once in awhile, but with the s4 my data has jumped tremendously. I've used almost 16 gb this month and 21 gb last month.
Android os is to blame for 6gb this month and 12 gb last month, all clocked in as back ground usage. Why? Wth is this phone doing to use so much data. . I have unlimited no throttling plan, but if I was still on 5 gb I'd be screwed. I just would like to know how I can stop this.

Android os is to blame for 6gb this month and 12 gb last month, all clocked in as back ground usage. Why? Wth is this phone doing to use so much data. . I have unlimited no throttling plan, but if I was still on 5 gb I'd be screwed. I just would like to know how I can stop this.
Thanks

Dude, nothing on your phone, other than maybe a torrent client, can use 21 gigs of data without your consent. And since its saying "Android system" is responsible for the data usage, its you tethering. Period. You asked, so i answered.
What part of saying I don't tether other than hotspot which I'm limited to 500mb from Tmobile do you not understand? Also said I haven't increased use from my what ive done on the gs2 and actually there are several posts online of others experiencing this as well but no solution. I did ask but you surely haven't answered.

LTE could be the answer it uses much more data to get data back to you faster.

Your attitude isn't going to get anybody to help you. People are offering you advice, no need to be rude.
As far as your data, it can be many things. I would start by keeping track of each app's data usage over a few day span.
What towle is saying is right. We do this to try to help people. We don't get paid for this. We do this voluntarily, and if you have a bad attitude nobody will want to help you.

Well try calling T-Mobile. They can tell you exactly the reason why your phone is using so much data.

Do you happen to have/use Google Music/All access? Its been known to eat thru data and hit your cap in the matter of just a few days.
edit- BTW if you got to settings/data usage it'll tell you what apps are using the most data;
And another thing. Read the forum rules. No cursing. And be nice. This isn't our problem. It's yours.

I have been having the same problem too. That is why I have been on Wi-Fi this month. I also do not tether or use Google music. I have talked to T-Mobile reps and I get the same response,"have you been using any Google applications or tethering." Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks.

Actually Alot of people have this problem, while searching b4 coming here I've read serval baffled users. Some not lucky enough to have unlimited data and getting poundedwith $800 phone bills for overages.
Like I saidI'm not here to argue, but don't tell me how im using my phone. If you can't handle being told your suggestion isn't the cause than you need not reply.

yes, this is Def a real issue, tethering is Def not the cause for one thing it shows as it's own data consumption for hot spot Tmobile Gave me the same and kept telling me you must be doing this and that. Would say nope sure haven't. There final conclusion was well we don't know. But on the gs2 I never exceeded 6gb, if I still had the same plan id been throttled the second week

Yeah it looks like a software bug that shows Android system using alot of data so that could be play music all Access, tethering, or a bug.

I've gone thru and froze all those apps in hopes of diagnosing that being the cause, ive froze 1 at a time and Monitored the use trying to determine if one was causing it. There all froze and have been for week and Android os still used 1.4gb in a week
