Data on Roaming

Anyone got any experience of how reliable the 'no data services when Roaming' setting is?
Going abroad next week and taking the N1 for the first time. It's easily the most deeply web integrated phone I have had... so I am concerned about getting hammered from the 3.00 GBP per MB data charges if the setting isn't completely fool proof.

Quite reliable. It pretty well shuts things down. For added peace-of-mind, you can always fully disable data services as well

just do the code and disable all data its something like *#*#36 etc...

Cheers guys. Didn't know about the code; I'll do some investigating!

I've been abroad twice so far this year with my N1, one 4 day trip not using data, one 7 day trip with occasional use. I used the setting both times to enable and disable data as required. Billing for the second trip has come through and shows the data use I was expecting so I'm confident with its reliability.
The only thing I did in addition to the setting, was remove my Facebook and Twitter widgets, and toggle Airplane mode off and on after changing the roaming setting (I've no idea if this was needed but it made me feel better lol).
Enjoy your trip

My Nexus One ends up roaming 2-3 times a day every workday for me. It's never used a drop of data when I'm away from the UK.

At&t data plan

I noticed something weird today..
I have a 2 GB per month data plan.
So far I had used 412.1 MB.
After I checked via *3282#
I didn't use wifi and only used h to download a full 200mb rom on my phone, use applications like pulse, xda, etc that need internet connection.
However, I checked it afterwards and it's still the same 412.1 MB..
Is data connected to using the internet and downloading stuff?
Can someone explain because this doesn't make sense.....

Keep checking back with it. I don't think it updates right away and before you now it your at your 2GB.

Some "eye openers" based on what I observed:
1. Apps like speed test that are seemingly so simple take up ~8-10 MB per test.
2. Weather updates etc though seem less make up for it by checking for data every now n then depending on updates interval
3. Every message on google voice takes up more than just a few KB per text sent
Not just this, when u download 200 MB of data, its uses more than 200 MB for the initial connection establishment, to verify if the packets reached or not, etc.
I would recommend installing an app like "3G data monitor" to monitor ur data activity so u can find out where the drain actually is.
All said and done, it takes close to 24-48 hours for ur data usage to get reflected when u use the 3282 command.

Thanks for the answer.. I guess the delay is the problem.. I'll think about downloading 3g watchdog... anyway thanks

At&t has a disclaimer that I read that says it may not include recent usage. Same applies for texts and minute usage.

[Q] Android OS using up 490 MB of data?!

I've just had something really weird happen to me...
I was looking for a company today and had to turn on my mobile data (3G) and location services to use Google Maps. I used it for probably less than one - two - three minutes. However, shortly after Onavo told me that I had exceeded my data plan and that Android OS had just used up 486 MB of data...
I'm running CM9, nightly #28... I found that really weird to be honest and not sure if that's normal activity or (what I'm worried about, really), the effect of malware that somehow got on my phone...

Which type of connection you have?? If it's hsdpa there is chance of consuming that amount of data in no time..
Reasons: maps definitely consume lot, also check whether you have enabled automatic jupdate in Google play this may also consume lit data when updating..

Yeah, I have HDSPA...
The data was used up by Android OS, according to Onavo, not by Google Play (and I have only one or two apps with automatic update checked), not even Maps. It's now the highest consuming "app" in my phone, which is really weird.
I don't really know anything about Onavo's data counting algorithms, could it just be a glitch on their side?

hsdpa is hardly a 21mbps in its finest moments. If you were lucky you will get 2MB/s so there's no way you would consume 300+ MB in 3 minutes...

Mystery data usage

I have had my Turbo for a week now and so far I am loving it.
However I am having a very strange issue. I started downloading GTA:SA from the google play store the other day. I was home so I was connected to wifi, the play store even prompted and I selected the option to only download over wifi. However about half way through the download I started getting data usage notifications from Verizon. It seems as though the Turbo is somehow using data when connecting to wifi. The strange thing is that the data usage section in Android settings don't show any spikes or data usage out of the ordinary.
Currently the data usage section shows only 0.5GB of data used since I got the phone (about 9.2GB on wifi). However according to Verizon tracking I have used nearly 5GB!!
Has anyone else run into this issue?
Edit: I ended up getting in touch with Verizon tech support. They can't seem to determine what is going on either, they could see that I was connected to wifi when the data usage was occurring. They opened a ticket with their engineering team on this and said they would let me know what they find. I will update this thread when I hear back from them
Would still be interested to know if anyone else is experiencing the same issue.

While I am sure that you thought your comment was in some way helpful or relevant, maybe next time you should stick to complaining in a thread specifically for that.
I now remember why I stopped posting to these forums in the past.

I maybe having the same issue. I received my first data usage limit text a few days ago. At first I thought it was due to my other line being used by my daughter but she has been in a Wi-Fi only area so it has to be on me. I'm always on Wi-Fi when I'm home and that's where I received the data usage notification. I ended up adding 2gb just to get me through a couple of days. Let me know what technical support says. I'd really appreciate it.

I will let you know. They said they would follow up with me at the end of my billing cycle (the 15th).
I have been trying to reproduce the issue so I can provide them more information about when it is happening but it seems intermittent. When I called they did upgrade my plan to 10GB (from 2GB) for the rest of the month and credited my account for the difference to get me through my billing cycle so that might be worth it to give them a call. Also, if more people report an issue they might look a little deeper into it.
If you call I would recommend using this number, 866-221-4096. That is the direct line to their tech support. That way you don't have to go through the stupid basic troubleshooting that their tier 1 techs make you go through.

Thanks for the info. I'll call tech support tomorrow so that we have additional visibility.

I have been having a similar issue, I've been having these small amounts of data being used while on wifi. went to the verizon store after speaking with a person over the phone. Lady on the phone said that it was normal... :/....so I went into the store. Guy said it might be an app but I've never heard of anything using data while being on wifi!
Store guy asked how I could prove it, and most of the data happens to me around 11:00pm-5am while im at home asleep!
He insisted on hard reset and to test the apps out, trying to avoid that tho. Maybe I'll have better luck with that number you posted.
At least it not just me!

Update... I spoke with tech support this morning. The support specialist was extremely helpful. She noted that there were several other complaints specific to the data leakage and idle battery drain (both of which I deal with). She ran a remote diagnostic on my hand set and found that I was running with only 18% of available RAM left. She said there is definitely something running in the background that is taking up significant resources and possibly data, but when she checked my phone she could see that I have turned off virtually all extraneous apps and that there is no way the phone should be working that hard. Motorola has been made aware of the data leakage issue and it's expected to be addressed with a software update in the next few weeks. The idle battery drain may be tied to this as well. During my 10 minute call to tech support, I burned through 3% battery which tech support stated was too much. I may swap this device and see if my problem continues with another Turbo.

I also had the data leakage issue while connected to WiFi. It happened my first day, and because my plan was pro-rated to the rest of the billing cycle and it was near the end of the billing cycle, I quickly blew through what was left of my allotment. The Verizon rep on the phone switched me to the non-prorated allocation for the last few days of the cycle.
I haven't seen data leakage since. I wonder if the Motorola Migrate app is what burned through data. Did everyone else here use that?

It is good to hear that they have had other complaints. I was thinking about trying to swap mine too, I have the 32GB in black kevlar. Wouldn't mind going to the 64GB but for some reason I just can't decide if I am going to like the Ballistic Nylon.

I did not use the migrate app myself. That was actually one of the apps that I disabled pretty early on so I don't believe that was the cause of the data usage in my case.
Strange as it sounds I am glad to hear that more people are having the issue, at least this way I know I am not crazy.
Hopeful we will hear something semi-official from Verizon or Motorola on this soon.

I got off the phone with a tech guy at lunch, he was telling me that they hadn't had anyone else report this issue :/ he also said that apps that run in the background will still use data instead of wifi while connected to wifi which doesn't sound right to me, though i've never had to manage my data so closely before.
does that make sense to anybody else?

Sounds, to me like he had no idea what he was talking about. I have never had an android phone use data like this when connected to wifi. What number did you try calling?
As I mentioned before I was getting similar responses from their tier 1 support. This number goes straight to their higher level tech support, 866-221-4096. I would recommend giving that a try if you haven't already. If you did try that number I would personally try calling back to get someone else. Not all support techs are created equal.

That was the number I called, I might try again later today.
So just to be clear if im on wifi even background data consuming apps shouldn't be using my data right? I would never had thought that before but that's 2 verizon "techs" that have told me now that apps will still use data in the background while connected to wifi. Sounds retarded to me

I have been running android phones on Verizon for over 5 years and I have never had an issue with data usage before. While I guess it is possible that an app could connect over cellular while wifi is on, it has never been an issue before for me at least.
I did find this post on verizons forums.
https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/821949?start=0&tstart=0
Looks like other people have been having similar issues and Verizons response is simply to "check your data usage and disable anything running in the background". Really hoping we get more of a response then that.

I also wanted to upload some screen shots of this issue so others could see exactly what we are talking about. Before I got the Turbo on the 2nd. I had around 400MB used on my data plan. Currently I am at over 7GB used, however the android data usage tells a different story.

I'm having a similar issue
When i activated my phone last week, I was on wifi as it was restoring all of my apps. I can't remember if i had started the motorola migrate app or not, but within the course of 5 minutes, i got a txt for 50% data usage warning and then 75% data usage... my account claims that i used 1.1 gigs of data during that time, but my phone only showed ~100MB during the first day of activation (actually, mobile + wifi usage during that initial day was only ~500MB).
I talked with the service rep over the weekend (i guess not a real tech support guy) but he couldn't tell me much. My cycle ends tomorrow, and I just increased my data plan from 4 to 6GB for $10 less a month through a customer loyalty thing, so i figured I would be set and that the initial issue was a fluke... today, though, i checked again to compare Verizon's accounting vs. my phone's and they are reporting another ~300MB over what my phone says (Not including that initial 1.1GB spike).
Now, i'm ~100MB from my plan limit, so for today i've just turned off mobile data completely... will be interested to see if their number goes up mysteriously when i'm definitely not using mobile data.
Hopefully this is something that gets fixed relatively quickly with a patch as someone else on the forum mentioned....

This is a strange issue for sure. Good luck to those of you that have this problem. Although both my wife and I are using more data than we normally do so far (which isn't uncommon with a new phone) both of our usages match up within a few MB on our phones and MyVerizon. We did not use the Moto Migrate thing but we did both sign into the VZW Cloud app for the first time. I disabled most of my bloat, but she didn't disable any of hers so that doesn't seem to be a factor.

I think I got some clarity on this issue. I was having the same problem, 4G LTE data being used even though I was connected to wifi. I called the techs at Motorola and was told that this phone does not stop 4G data from being used when wifi is connected. They said you have to manually turn off mobile data to have data ran through only the wifi. They told me to download an app called wifi matic from the play store which would do this automatically whenever wifi was connected. I told them in the 6 years I have had android phones it has always been done automatically. The guy told me it all depends on how the phone is setup and that the turbo was not designed this way. Is it just me or it that not completely ludicrous? We as users have to turn off our mobile data when connecting to wifi just so data doesn't get used on both? I'm beyond frustrated especially because this wasn't disclosed. I ran through my entire 2GB data allotment with Verizon in 8 days because of this.
I called Verizon and explained the situation. They are upping my data for the month and I'll install the app Motorola recommended to prevent this from happening in the future. It's just really frustrating I had to go through all this to find out Motorola dropped the ball.

I always do that anyhow. I figured everyone did. so reading this thread I thought y'all were saying your phones were using data when you had data turned off. I was starting to get worried.

I'm calling BS on that explanation because there are people not experiencing this issue at all. For example, I have had a few VERY heavy data days while I spent the entire day at home and neither android nor VZW say that I used any of my data plan on those days.

Being able to edit LTEapn settings to hide hotspot usage

Shortcut maker was used when I was with sprint to be able to hide hotspot usage as regular phone data, doesn’t seem to work on Verizon. Has anyone been able to mask there hotspot data usage count against regular data?

Throttling down a Verizon hotspot fix
Not sure if anybody else has encountered the sudden throttle down to 600 600 kilobytes after 15 gigs of your hotspot use speed unlimited data got me pretty upset anyways if anybody found a way to fix it that would be great. Better use below though
And the meantime I was able to find a fix for it that gives me the ability to use the hotspot and Verizon does not recognize it as being a hotspot. It requires a rooted phone and an application that has been out for at least 7 years that you have to purchase one time. And also another secret for it. When my data runs with a high spot normally I would get 30 to60 megabytes per second Now using this method I'm able to get to still 15 megabytes per second which allows me to download games and stream whenever I want to. Reply if you have questions because I really don't want the big V to figure out and take care of it. The cool thing about it is that when you go through your data usage it shows up as being data off your phone not the hotspot so I've already used up this month I might hotspot over 200 GB just to mess around and make sure it's working and I was supposed to rub it in to Verizon for screwing my unlimited package.:laugh:

I don't know if this will work, but what if you clone the mac address of the device(s) connected to the hotspot to that of the phone?

Hello. Can you PM me the app? I'm hoping to be able to root my phone and give this a shot. I have the Google Pixel from Verizon so I'm not entirely sure I'll be able to root.

I would like to know what app this is. Been trying everything I know to keep big red in the dark. Nothing works so far.

The cool thing about it is that when you go through your data usage it shows up as being data off your phone not the hotspot so I've already used up this month I might hotspot over 200 GB just to mess around and make sure it's working and I was supposed to rub it in to Verizon for screwing my unlimited package.[emoji23]
