What causes the high "data" usage? - Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
I did a flash rom on the HTC Wildfire buzz. I'm using the phone with a prepaid card.
For some reason everytime the phone is on, some money disappears from that prepaid card, even if the phone is used inside the house where it is connected to my wifi network.
For example, one day, I've seen 5 euro disappear from the card, and the only action that day was checking mail and send some text in "What's App" (in house, using wifi)!
Can someone explain what causes that high "data" usage and where my money is gone?
I've disabled menu > settings > accounts & synchronisation > background sync
I can't disable Auto-sychronisation

If you look at settings/WiFi and networks you can disable your mobile network when you are in the home. What data plan does your prepaid card use? Can you link to it? Also are you roaming at all?(outside of your normal service area)
To lose 5euro in one day is quite a lot. Do you have apps like Facebook that work in the background?
If you try installing apps like this it can tell you what's using your data

Thank you Heavy_metal man!
The problem is solved. I have again checked my settings and from that moment it was over. I have also a longer battery life now!

[Q] General Desire HD Issues & Rooting Questions

1.) After the latest OTA update, my notifications are screwed, but I guess from reading the thread it's happening to everyone and I should just wait for a fix from HTC?
2.) Unfortunately the little town where I live outside my city has no 3G coverage, but my phone still tryings to connect to 3G and I end up only having one bar or no service, however, when it is on EDGE I have full bars. Is there an app or anyway I can disable 3G just like on the iPhone?
3.) I'm not too fond of HTC Sense. I really would like stock Android 2.3 or something akin to the Oxygen mod for the Desire. Is there anyway to get stock 2.3 android on my Desire HD or something similar?
Have a stock Desire HD thats fully updated, locked to "3" in Denmark. if that makes any difference.
Thanks!
1.) I tried a hard reset and even flashing the RUU, but problems still persist. I'm using GO SMS at the moment and no missed notifications from it.
2.) If you go to Settings > Wireless & network > Mobile networks > Network mode and set it to GSM only.
3.) There are some ROMs in the Development section. Not sure if they're filly working though.

If you want gingerbread check out this thread.
Its mostly working for most people but it is still alpha software so don't expect it to be perfect. Once the development team, Team Douche, finish adding their Cyanogenmod extras to it this will be the finest AOSP Gingerbread version you will find.
Thanks for the replies! I will look into the ROM you suggested!

When I go into "Network mode" I only have 2 options; "WDCMA only" and "GMS/WCDMA auto."
That's weird. Try going into the dialer then typing in *#*#4636#*#*. Then Phone information. Scroll down to
Set network type GSM only.

[Q] 3G Not Working Correctly

Hey there! I've recently started having problems using 3G on my DHD.
I'm running Android Revolution HD 5.2.3, but the issues started occuring many versions before this, I just haven't had a chance to sit down and look into the problem.
When I connect to 3G, the icon appears in the notification bar but I simply seem to have no connectivity at all. Occasionally the icon will change to a H. If I try to browse a webpage, the up arrow on the icon will light up and the down arrow will occasionally flicker, but nothing happens. Can't browse webpages or use any apps that require a connection.
Sometimes it will randomly start working again for 15mins or so and then drop out again. 90% of the time, turning airplane mode on and then off again will fix the problem for 15mins also before it drops out.
Does anybody have any idea what problem I may be having? I'm with Vodafone Australia.
Update: At the suggestion of another XDA member, I tried flashing another radio and I'm still having the same issue, so I assume it is not related to the radio.
Bonus Question: When I can get access to 3G, since upgrading to ARHD 5.2.3, the google homepage no longer detects that I'm on a mobile device and does't take me to the mobile version. How can I fix this?
Please do check your 3G mobile data APN configuration. Make sure the 3G APN matched with your current carrier 3G configuration (search google for your Vodafone APN setting). The letter H indicates HSDPA connection (or 3.5G, maybe).
In browser setting, check your user agent setting, set it to Android/mobile. If not, clear cache and data of Browser program in Manage Application Setting.

Fixed the browser, thanks!
However, I have set up my APN correctly (as far as I am aware) and am still having the issue. Could re-flashing my radio help?

You have a fine, working mobile data, so you shouldn't have to push radio,RIL or flash kernel though. My best suggestion was the APN thing mentioned earlier. Or its network carrier related maybe? Try to consult your carrier customer service.

I consulted customer service and they are uncertain of any problems and simply told me that their service is 'not guaranteed to be perfect'.
However, a friend who lives in my area on the same carrier with the exact same phone is having no problems at all with connectivity, so I'm certain it's related to my phone alone.

Wow, that is not a nice thing to say to a customer. Have you tried to revert to stock rom with stock kernel and vodafone radio?
Sent from my HTC Desire HD using XDA App
I haven't tried that as I couldn't find the stock vodafone AUS RUU (I think that's what I need anyway...)
But I've had a custom rom and custom radio since the day I got my phone and up until two months ago or so my internet has been incredibly fast and not dropped out once, so I'm doubting it's ROM/Radio related... Starting to worry that it could be hardware.

I'm afraid so too. That's the worst case scenario. Still, you should consult someone who's expert in this matter personally. Not the repair shop (that would be last resort).

Internet connection not working on my HTC Desire

hello folks..
hope you all doing good..
since 2 hours my Internet connection is not working on my desire,,it was working in afternoon but not since evening..
when on the internet, its shows a Sync sign on my notification bar But nothing sync & only upload bar is ON and download bar is off, so not able to open any web page.. and the other thing is my internal memory shows 60mb free which earlier showed as 50mb.. so i'm little confused here. whats going on..
need help from you guys,so should i make my internet work.
thanks
First of all, what ROM are you running, or are you still running on HTC's factory Sense? Secondly are you using WIFI or cellular network? And how do you know that your internet connection is not working? Give us some more detail to work with
i have not root my phone,,im running official gingerbread on my desire & using htc factory sense..
i'm trying to use cellular network,,dont have wi-fi.
i'm not able to open any webpage or android market...there is sync icon on notification icon which appears once i connect to cellular network & nothing happens..
Just for asking, but have you tried rebooting your phone?
Also, do you know of anyone else who is using the same carrier, and check if they are having the same issues?
Did you maybe skip your contract limit?
I'm asking you these questions, to be able to isolate the problem, and not just point fingers at your phone
yes i reboot my phone,removed battery & again restarted,,but still internet doesnot work..
nope,,non of my friends are facing this issue & net is working my other nokia phone..and still 850mb data is available for me to use,,
yea i understand that..
This problem is dwindling down to be related to your mobile.
Are you using an APN? If so, can you open it, write down the settings, *delete it* reboot your phone and create a new one with the same settings?
If you are not, I'm beginning to run out of ideas of what could be causing you this issue.
guys i got the solution... the below software made me help copy messages & all my contacts to pc..

thanks for ur reply

hey mate i did factory reset,,still same problem occurs,, & cannot connect to internet...
any suggestions ..what can i do next?
You may want to try one last thing. Swap your sim into another mobile from which you can access your carrier network and access your internet from it. If it works then I'm afraid you're going to have to take your mobile for repair since you're still on stock rom. If not then somethings up with your contract, and should contact your carrier for an explanation.

yea im currently doing that... :/
i insert my sim into different cellphone,,still internet does not work.. it gives following message---
Data connectivity problem. The server failed to communicate , Try again later.
now, what to do?
I suggest you talk to your contract carrier since it seems that your phone is not the problem.

Cant download from google play store on 3G?

I got my HOX last week upgrading from sgs2, & ever since i swapped the sims i haven't been able to download apps on 3G or test my data speed with 'speed.test' app, all other surfing works.
anyone else had this problem?
Maybe you used all your 3G traffic for this month? About play store, did you check if "Download only when WiFi is available" is ticked? Although not sure if this might affect speed.test as well..

Just found the fix in another forum on XDA.
Mcdeep said:
I finally managed to solve the problem. Just follow these steps, but bear in mind that i'm using a custom ROM so it might be a little different with you. Go to Settings > Wireless and network > Mobile networks > Access Point Names (or APN). Now select the APN that u are using. (I chose MTN Data since i'm MTN. Now go to "Proxy". There should be a number in there, delete everything that's in there and leave that field blank. Go to "Port" and clear everything as well. It worked for me.hope it works for u too. Let me know.

Have you still got your APN settings right? I wasn't able to use mobile data because i hadn't set up my APN. Check this under Settings>Wireless and Networks>Mobile Networks>Access Point Names. If there is nothing there, that is your problem. To set it up, search your network provider and then APN to find the stuff you need to set it up.
oh really its first time to know that ... i thought it will saved automatically like
