Anybody know how to stop this ? The first few weeks of using my phone it was quite low but now it's sky high! Have had a Google and tried unsyncing everything, turned off background data, turned off back up and still it's getting worse! Any ideas ?

Looks like something is failing to sync properly and is stuck trying to do so. Have you had a look in your sync settings to see if anything is doing this?
My browser once got stuck in this state. Turning off the sync for it, going into the app settings and wiping cache and data sorted it.
Failing that, try Settings> Call Settings> Use Internet Calling, and check not settings in there are causing it.
Not left Wi-Fi hotspot on have you?
Try putting this on to find the culprit: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.taosoftware.android.packetcapture&feature=search_result
Most of my synching is off and it's not on auto sync, but my internet calls was on to accept only internet calls ? Although an account isn't set up with it, but I did download Skype once at perhaps the same of this rise, have changed it to ask for each call and will monitor it!

One of my reasons for getting the Gear was the ability of side loading apps. Unfortunately, I'm running into some problems...
I've tried two computers, different cables, ADB, and Wondershare - all to no avail. I've tried it with the Samsung USB drivers installed and without. Both computers see my device as "GT-S5690" and a generic "ANDROID_Samsung" shows up in my device manager.
Any ideas? All the people I see connecting properly don't even look like they're installing any drivers-looks to be pretty easy and automatic.
The computers I've used are Windows 8 and XP and I have tried factory resetting the gear. Any help is appreciated!
Have you enabled Usb debugging on the gear menu?

they dmshow gt-s5690 untill you install mobile me from wondershare
galaxy note 3 now Free
i didn't install any drivers
1. enable USB debugging on the GG
2. connect GG to PC and let it automatically install the drivers
3. run adb command: adb install applicationname.apk
4. enjoy !
At step 3 i copied "applicationname.apk" to \sdk\platform-tools\ (the same folder where you can find adb.exe)

on the GG go to
settings -> gear info -> USB debug
Well I have no idea why, but it finally started working...
I guess the key was to just keep doing it (literally 25 times) until the computer finally recognized it.
And it only works on my 8 year old laptop with XP - still no dice with Windows 8.
Is the side loading still draining people's batteries ?
Yea, I think it is. Did a few things through adb and suddenly got a warning I had less than 20% left. Wouldnt believe it, only 2h or so fiddling with adb....

The Mobileme app that gets auto installed with the wonder share file keeps looking for wifi and I think causes battery drainage. That is what was killing my battery and ended up uninstalling it and the calculator app I loaded by resetting the gear. Now my battery is back to normal. It was a good experiment but not at the cost of killing my battery in less than 5 hours.

I'm kind of in the same boat. i've disconnected and reconnected countless times, in download mode, in regular mode. on two different PC's (windows 8, windows 7) and nothing. you hear that the gear is connected, you see on the gear that it's charging. i've enabled and disabled USB debugging, but still no dice. it doesn't show up at all. nothing in device manager. i did root it but never even got a chance to sideload any kind of apps. i've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers too. i'm at a loss.
I installed MK7 GB version, but now I don't have anymore the USB Debugging option in Gear Info. any idea ?

tap a lot of time in the "Software Ver", go back and you can see USB Debug menu.

Easy, install "easy uninstaller" free apk to the gear. Open the app in the Gear and install the MobileGo app.

Is there any other method of installing apps to the gear other than wondershare?

ON 4.1/4.2 I had no issues with mounting phone to transfer files. Even on GPE roms with 4.3 no issues. But all 4.3 sense roms I cannot get it to mount and allow me to transfer files. What it does right now when I plug it in goes through found new hardware attempting to install, no go, or select advanced and it says not installed because it couldn't find necessary software. Then it comes up with HTC One Camera connected and shows stupid options that don't help me at all like; Dropbox and microsoft options and stuff.
Things I've already attempted
Removed drivers
attempted to re-install them
USB debugging on, rebooted between selecting/deselecting options phone & computer.
Removed HTC Sync, attempted to reinstall get an error upon trying 1152 Error extracting to temp location, I cannot change its desired location though, stupid lol.
Cannot delete C:\HTC folder cause of passthrusvr.exe I don't need or want that (my understanding it is for passing internet connections and such).
I'm on XP, I know its a dinosaur, it gets what I need done, until now lol.
Oh ya, it connects fine to other computers like my works and a friends. Just not mine which has all my music on it... :-\
I just wanna move some music over and stuff, hate going back and forth on backups to do so.
I won't be available til tomorrow to trouble shoot or late tonight depending on how things go later.

Umm sounds like the problem isn't with your phone but with your computer and windows is such a finicky os that not one solution works for all kind of thing. Just a thought are your firewalls configured properly? What does the computer show when plugging it in device manager? Sometimes my phone and laptop don't play along and its either because I have fast charge enabled in kernel or I just turn debugging off always works then and the phone is recognized as mass storage device. Good luck

I don't use anti virus or have any firewalls active as far as I know, it looks for cdc serial but then nothing happens so it mounts as an HTC One camera device. Stock kernel as well, appreciate the trying tho.

And its def a computer thing which I'm not super knowledgeable on unfortunately. I've got it to connect on other PCs and laptops without a hiccup, also have tried differs cables also, before that's suggested too. I'm almost positive it's just the leftovers from drivers that I can't seem to fully get rid of.

Hello. I seem to have an issue with my wifi notification settings. It constantly notifies me, although the check box is unchecked.
Here's the more interesting part though. I go and check wifi notification, back out of that menu, go back into it, and it's unchecked.
This is a new issue I'm having, it has never done it before. I updated to the first KitKat OTA and really didn't like it, so I s-off/rooted, downgraded back to the first stock rom, then accepted each OTA until I was back on 3.05.651.6, and then it started.
Does anyone know of a way I can fix this issue? I should be able to flash a fix for it if there is one, or modify the settings internally if there is a way.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Any help would be extremely appreciated and earn a thanks. ^^;

Since I couldn't find any other solution, I used SQLite Editor to edit the Wi-Fi notifications off.
I'd like to figure out why it it happening though, but this does the trick.

Sometimes my camera crashes and when i open it says cant connect to camera. Also happens when I use hdr option. Any way to fix this? It seems rebooting the device helps but i want to know if there's a permanent fix
