Problem with network usage

[iambaz]

Hi Guys,

I'm writing as my android phone is using lots of data when I hardly ever use it for any kind of data services. I have run spare parts and according to the network monitor, there is a process called UID 10026 which is eating it all. I did a bit of further investigation, and it appears that this process is the 'People' application - or the contacts app.

Has anyone any idea why this would be eating my network usage? Seems crazy this would use any network data. I know there are 'online directories' on it, but I have not set any of these up and can't see how to delete them off the screen completely, so I assume these aren't doing anything?!

Thanks for any tips...

Do you have the facebook sync set up? As that could be it.

Not through the contacts app, but I do have the facebook app on there. Is it possible that could maybe be pushing the data to the contacts app?

If FB's set to sync with existing contacts yes. I can't think of anything else that could cause it.

Cool, I'll uninstall it and see if it helps. Thanks for the responses.
