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???

This problem existed long before iCloud.

The issue isn't limited to AT&T or the USA, that's not to say they don't have an issue though.

I think Apple had dataman pro removed because it was too easy to see just HOW MUCH DATA iads uses. I for one was travelling recently internationally, and literally 50% of my data use was ads in apps.

Lawrence, you are wrong. That is why Apple just pushed an update for iPhone 5 on Verizon. This is a new behavior introduced by IOS 6. You add nothing but misinformation to this thread.

Oct 1, 2012 7:20 AM in response to XtremeArtists

Now the question is when will the rest of us get an update?

It should use WiFi to retrieve data if there is a current WiFi connection.

Lawrence Finch - What do you make of LouisNeville's posts on this related thread?

Hi Jerry,

I'm located in Montreal, using the Telus network and everyday i have "sent" data uploading between 500Mb-700Mb within the span of an hour randomly. Have you found a solution to this problem?

Oct 29, 2012 12:14 AM in response to cnpeyton

Just Turn off Cellular Data when you connect to wifi seems like the Smartest Decision

Maybe if you read some of the messages in the thread you posted to you will find out that all of this has been discussed hundreds of times over the past 2 1/2 years.

Nov 30, 2012 6:14 AM in response to Lawrence Finch

Maybe if you weren't so busy pointing out the obvious you would find that many of us have actually contributed to those discussions.

Nov 30, 2012 6:55 AM in response to Lawrence Finch

Yes, you have, but the one I was responding to has never posted in this or any other thread.

I've read plenty of posts here although I admit not all 131 pages. What I have not seen is reference to reported usage reducing x1000 times overnight???

Aha! So it wasn't just me that happened to! All my Nov data records have gone.
