[EVO 4G General] 1Brite1:
I didn't say that I was "kicked off" from Sprint's network for being rooted. I stated that when I went in to have my phone looked at, the technician told me he knew from their slate machine that it had been rooted. Also, when I got the number to call about too much roaming(due to Sprint's tower being down-not my fault), the lady said that they can tell everything that I had done with my phone(rooting and all). I was just surprised as I didn't know that they could tell even when I had turned "S"on and run an official RUU to get back to an official version.

They never could explain where all of the data usage was coming from-but did say that it could be provided as they had all of the information.

I was also told that because their is no "Official" Sprint tower in my area-a rural area, that Sprint is charged an arm and a leg for whatever usage is consumed. Because mine was considered a "Super Data User", it didn't matter if I was roaming or not, it was too expensive for Sprint because it was on 3G network. All towers in my area are the old Alltel towers, now owned by Verizon. All on private properties owned by private owners. So, all cell companies pay "THEM" to use "THEIR" towers.

If you are lucky enough to live in a city that has multiple or official company towers, you are much better off.

The reason for the original post was to ask anyone what could/would be using that much data....it would be like downloading 10 HD movies a month....which is impossible due to my slow network. That is why I....repeat....I brought it up to Sprint's attention. They just kept saying, "Don't worry about it, you are on an "Unlimited Plan". That is my whole point.

Last month when Sprint's tower was down, that is what caused me to roam. As stated, I believe the problem was because I had my settings on the wireless hot spot set to "Always On". Now, I turn them off when not using the Internet. I don't think everyone reads the first original post as it answers all of these questions. Then, someone has to say something that is either not what I said or just accuse me or others. If you read the entire post, you will see that at least a couple of other people had the same weird usage even though they used WiFi mostly, but had like 38GB. He couldn't figure it out either.

I just wondered if anybody else had weird usage stats or if they had contacted Sprint like I did. Or if it had to something to do with rooting. That is what this forum is supposed to be about. Learning and asking questions and seeing if others have had similar experiences. Nothing more, nothing less.

Again, thank you to those who did add meaningful input that helped me out. Needless to say, even though I was terminated from Sprint, I did get a brand new EVO that Sprint paid for and I bought a new EVO 3D before it was cancelled and was able to sell them both. So, it kind of worked out in my favor.

I bought an HTC Thunderbolt as Verizon finally just put an "Official Tower with LTE" coverage right down the road from me. So, hopefully in a month or so it will be turned on. I will be looking forward to faster speeds and hopefully be able to actually watch a non-buffered YouTube video.
