Hi guys
I'm trying to keep track of how much data I am using and have noticed my iphone 4 still sends and receives celluar data when not being used. All apps are closed and I have all push notifications set to off. I don't use icloud either. What data is being sent and received?
iPhone 4, iOS 5.0.1
Anyone know why....?
Location services could be sending this data.
# Settings > Refresh apps on background. I would suggest to completely turn that off
# Settings > Privacy > Location tracking > Only Maps, Google Maps are allowed to use location tracking in my case, you could also turn that off completely or be very selective which apps can use your GPS.
# Settings > E-mail, calendar .. >deselect 'Push' and set it to either Fetch e.g. once an hour for all separate e-mail accounts you have. In your case you could set it to Manual so you won't use any data as long as you won't open your E-mail app and manually download e-mails.
It could also be that there is still an app running in the background as i had. See also this post.
In that case you need to dive into the Settings > General > Info > Diagnostics and Use >
Diagnostics and Use >logs per app to determine which app isn't closed although you turned off your phone (or even in my case reset to factory settings without backup). It's unfortunately pretty hard to find the app that is causing this. Therefore i wish Apple would come up with a better solution for this to see which processes/app(s) should be killed (now the best solution is removing the app completely).
Thanks guys yep I have done all this already... Overnight cellular data sent was 25kb and received 75kb I know it's nothing I just wana know what it is exactly when nothing is in use..
Why is my iphone 4 still sending and receiving data when not in use?
