Lurker
I am thinking of becoming a first time android user and looking at the Galaxy S2. Have concerns about the issue of AP mobile using data at a high rate. I will only be getting the 240mb data plan and am concerned about how much data this app or widget (whaterver it is called). I will never use this program that I can see so if i never open it will it use the data everyone is complaning about? If so how do I fix this without rooting the phone which is something i do not want to do? Thanks.

i can't speak specificially to the ap mobile date use, but please read my answer about ap mobile and other forced bloatware below.

YOU WILL FIND OTHER CARRIERS, SPRINT, T-MOBILE, ETC., ETC., ETC DO THE SAME THING. maybe sprint does it with another app.

same thing for yahoo finance.

it runs 24/7, and restarts after force closing.

same thing with all the many bluetooth apps when bluetooth is off.

same thing with nfc service, which is NOT even available yet (to use your phone to pay at a cash register via scanning your phone's rfid (radio frequency identification) which is outputs your atm or credit card information. i hate this unsecure app with a passion and will never use it.

same thing for buddies now. never used it, never will.

same thing for google maps when i am not even using google maps, and many others.

the at&t logic, and other phone carriers as well, logic which i hate, is ap mobile and yahoo finance, etc., etc. run EVEN WHEN NOT INSTALLED OR BEING USED because of what? what else, money and data mining. developers pay carriers money to force install their apps. other carriers do this also. at&t did not invent developers paying a phone carrier money for their apps to be forced installed. google does it, sprint does it, t-mobile does it, etc., etc., etc., etc.

ap mobile and yahoo finance paid at&t to add their bloat. carriers do force install an app for free. and therefore, to get valuable market research, running apps, either running actively or passively, run 24/7/365, data mine, spy and so on. don't believe me? look at the insane spy permissions of every bloat app, crap app, and/or any game app you have now.

the most severe and invasive spy permissions are on those "free apps", that sell your profile information and demographics, spy on your internet surfing, your internet bookmarks, market research your other apps you have already installed, etc., etc., etc., etc. come on - why would a developer offer something for free? do you work for free? honestly, is anything in life free?
 
This is a glitch. My AP mobile ap (even though it isn't even in use) is using about 75 mb a day. AT LEAST. Its used half my data this month. A little data mining will not use a GIG a month of data.
