Unknown data usage early morning

With the changes to the data plans, i decided to look at my wifes data usage on her iphone. What i have found is odd and a bit concerning. Overall her data usage is pretty much nothing, except for something that occurs every morning around 1 or 2 am. I have included data usage on the AT&T account below. As you can see, something happens around 1 or 2 am every morning, i just dont know what it is. The amount of data being transferred is REALLY high if you ask me, as high as 75336KB back on the 17th. I called AT&T support and they said it was the phone updating or mail being downloaded, basically they have no idea. I have the mail set to fetch manually already. Anyway to determine what is going on???

Also I noticed that phone goes to internet during the syncronization. Although my computer is connected to Internet via wi-fi, and phone is connected too.

Everyone has their own idea what it is--- and both are correct.

I too am a freshly hatched Verizon user. In two days I've racked up either 4 GB (viewing my online usage report) or 8 GB 3G data checking the usage totals in Settings on the iPhone 4. That's at home, with my WIFI connected.

I do have a couple of ad supported "free" apps that perhaps are pushing data, but shouldn't they be via the WIFI?

I've turned off notifications, see what happens in the next 24 hours, then turn off 3G when at home or work to see if usage still climbs.

Maybe your usage was there, before you got the phone?! was is the date of last reset? can't be 8 GB. That is HUGE. It take a lot of time to use that much data.

Feb 9, 2011 2:31 PM in response to kaluzu

No, the usage was at zero the day I got it. I had been watching it and it was about 100 MB yesterday.

I have had 3G on since I activated the phone on Feb 7, while driving. If maps is not active, does the GPS in Maps still pull the satellite photos? That would be a huge data pull. I wiped out my iPad limited plan on a 3 hour drive once while using Maps. It was fascinating how the little blue dot kept up with the car, while the map scrolled...

To stop the problem, use your home WIFI to surf the Internet and disable all of the following:
1) Push Notifications
2) 3G
3) Celluar Data (yes, you must disable this too)

Thanks! I plan to do those steps when I go to sleep tonight. Can't turn off my cell until then because no land line.

Okay, I tried to edit my above post but didn't see a way to do that.

I guess I can turn off Cellular Data early, but Visual Voice Mail won't work which is okay. How do you turn off 3G?

one thing is for sure: this topic will explode, with the same complaints, but from VZ users this time, unfortunately for all of us, that are desperately looking for a solution.

If you read the thread (or even part of it) you would know the answer.

Disheartening. We really aren't going to get an answer or a fix are we?
