Last week, i got a text msg from my carrier (Virgin Mobile in Canada) that I had reached my data limit (1GB) - less than a week in to my billing period. I have never gone over 1GB - even when they gave me 2 months unlimited usage when I first got the phone! I checked the unbilled usage (which is about 2 hours behind the actually usage) and it was at about 280MB. Since it was about 1am, I turned off the phone and went to bed. The next morning, it showed that I was over the 1000MB ... I called Virgin who said they could only see the total usage, no details. I spent the rest of the day in a hospital waiting room and could barely receive a phone call or text message, let alone get online - yet that night I was over 1000MB in my pay-per-use data (so over 2GB of data use in about 36 hours). I have turned off the data on my phone and only turn it on for about two minutes a day to check the data usage and I have still managed to use another couple hundred MBs.
I have turned off the auto-snyc for all my apps. i don't stream anything - the occasional YouTube but probably less than once a month. i mainly check Facebook, twitter, read some news and google stuff on the go.
Prior to the phone going data-crazy, I had replaced the microSD card with a 16GB card to add some music to my phone (using Music WithMe) - which has been installed on the phone for four or five months now. The music wouldn't install to the SD card which I assume is a separate issue - could it be related?
I have had the phone since april or so and have been loving it ... until now. I miss being able to go online wherever or whenever I like. any ideas how to solve this? is there an app i can download and see where or what is using the data? (in real time? - i can't afford the pay-per-use until i figure it out. Virgin said they would credit it me if it was their fault but I don't want to end up paying a fortune if they won't or it is my fault somehow).
help!
