Can you tell us what apps you use most often and if you have any data being sync'd automatically (even if on a schedule)?

I thought SCloud was Samsung's own cloud service. I don't have it enabled for auto sync. But then again, I've always had issues with it constantly giving the "sync is currently experiencing problems... blah, blah, blah". Never really bothered with it.

Could very well be. I don't have my Samsung account backing anything up either. I use alternative backup methods.

How do I check whats been eating most of my data in the last month? Or whats backing up... I downloaded some games like need for speed.... I dont know what else has changed

Yeah I also think that scloud is the Samsung Account sync to cloud. Go under Settings -> Accounts -> Samsung account

Click the email address of your account. You should see 4 boxes: Calendar, Contacts, Internet, and S-Note.

I don't think Calendar and Contacts will eat that much data. I don't know what is Internet, but I am guessing it is browser bookmarks and such. The only thing I could think of that could eat that much data is S-Note. Do you take a lot of pictures, paste them in S-Note and save them? If so, you will want to uncheck S-Note.

I use My Data Manager to track my data usage. It can track data usage by hour as well. It is not 100% accurate, but very close from my experience. Definitely an excellent app to keep track of your data usage. Set notifications, daily data limits, predict data usage, etc.

You might also want to go data usage settings and check restrict background data to Wi-Fi.

Do you have auto-sync enabled? SCloud sync is Samsung's cloud service. Not sure if it incorporates dropbox as well. Makes a difference if you don't restrict data usage and have pics/vids uploaded with the service.
