Well I finally got good WiFi so my data usage will drop a lot I used 7gb in 4 days but on WiFi ive only used less than a gig the last 5 days
[HTC Rezound] Nate0922:
wow no wonder Verizon wants to get rid of the unlimited plans, some of you are using crazy amounts.

Anyways, just upgraded to a Rezound from a DX to keep my unlimited data. Liking it so far, probably order an extended battery first thing.
[HTC Rezound] funnyangrykid:
I have a 4 GIG plan, my cycle ends the 7th of every month, I'm on the 19th and I've used 2.5 gigs. And THAT'S from tryna cut back. They seriously need to have an unlimited data plan like sprint does and ill tell ya they would DEFINITELY have more customers. Just sayin!

I hit around 5-6 GB a month... Wifi in office and house cut down data considerably.
[HTC Rezound] Roastednuts:
My highest usage is 0.78 GB. And, I use my phone to tether on occasion for work related stuff.
[HTC Rezound] Fergusonfox7:
I'm at 17 gb right now. Highest was probably 30 when I tethered for a weekend while the internet was down.
[HTC Rezound] Grnlantern79:
I use WiFi at home and work to keep data down, I can use 4-5 a month streaming music and news between work and home for an hour drive. Just upgraded to Rezound at $79 bucks, mad I just missed $59 bucks 2 months ago and the dam penny sale on Amazon end of last year. Had to keep unlimited as long as possible. They need to increase data amounts on their plans to double $100 for 20 GBs that makes more sense to share with 4 phones and a tablet.
[HTC Rezound] Legobricke:
WOW~!

Some of these usage numbers are nutz!

I can see why Verizon is going this way.....

I have the unlimited plan and did upgrade to the Rezound to keep it...

Then again, I use around 2-3 gigs a month... But then I also use WiFi whenever I can....

Most of my usage is during my drive time streaming Google Music or Sirius Radio...

[HTC Rezound] kingofyo1:
Keep in mind were in the MINORITY and i mean <5% of the entirety of verizon users will hit their data caps. My best was 90 gb.. Last month. So far I'm at 50. I tethered a good deal but thats besides the point :P The very few of us who actually max our connections constantly are not degrading others ability to use the towers to their potential. The bandwidth at those towers is ridiculously high and we as users arent even scratching the surface of it
[HTC Rezound] killahrey:
At 15gb 5 days into my pay period lmfao.

I use about 50+ easily. Though I use 4g as my main internet because its so much faster and cheaper then anything the cable companys can offer for the price.
[HTC Rezound] Damasterjj:
I use about 1Gb to 2Gb a month on my phone. anyways thats because I have fiver optics internet:)
[HTC Rezound] KnightCrusader:
I barely go over a GB myself anymore, but my dad usually hits 2GB and everyone one else on the plan stay below a GB. I've had months where I have gone about 5GB.

The record though, is held by my fiance - the first month I added her to my plan, gave her my old Droid 2 and she was still living at her old place and the phone was her only internet connection. She did 26GB over 3G on that thing. Still not sure how she was able to do that, but she says she was streaming Netflix.
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
ummm, they are number 1 in customers so I don't think that is their concern. Considering people are using in excess of 40-100gb a month of mobile data, most while probably not paying for the tethering they are doing, I can see why they did away and are trying to remove people from unlimited.

I actually prefer Sprint's method. We will give you unlimited but if you abuse it, we will cancel your contract.
[HTC Rezound] killahrey:
That's why I'm not on sprint. Why should I pay more for tethering? Because I use 50-100gb a month? Hell no. That's. ridiculous. Verizon seems to have basically endless bandwidth just like any other cable company. Trust me they sti get plenty of my money. My bill is usually $300 for 5 lines. I think I can do as I damn please with my 5year old grandfathered unlimited data.
[HTC Rezound] ijustwantmydock:
But see what about those people that just are completely detached from the outside world and are on their phone 24/7 like me? I can easily hit 40 without tethering just YouTube facebook Twitter tapatalk I don't even have netflix
[HTC Rezound] nrfitchett4:
which is why you should not be suprised that verizon is trying to take away unlimited data. Not even some cable companies have unlimited data anymore. you expect mobile data to be different? It's not as unlimited as you think, just wait until the lte iphone.

which is why I said most people who use that much tether. Not all.
[HTC Rezound] brisdaddy1207:
Anywhere for 10 to 50..
[HTC Rezound] killahrey:
I really don't care about them getting rid of the unlimited data. It's not going to effect me. I am not even on a "contract" on any of my lines right now. I have been with Verizon for 7-8 years now. I am what they call a VIP member. I get as I want with them. I have been off contrant on most of my lines for 5 years now, and as you can imagine I have been buying my devices off contract, at MSRP, or off craigslist or eBay like I have been recently. They will have to pry the unlimited data out of my cold dead hands.
[HTC Rezound] luke1333:
about 12-15 average
[HTC Rezound] pyroemaniac:
What they don't tell you is that you will be paying 100+ per phone on this family share plan in the next two years, there reasoning? Every now and then they have to bring a truck or two to big events such as football games and other such things for extra bandwidth. The price of that? About 400 per truck. Around 2 average customers pay for each of those trucks a month. These mobile companies aren't struggling and the new LTE network is more than capable of running 3 times what it is now, and is still growing. I for one doesn't use all that much data on my unlimited but ill be damned if ill pay more for less.
[HTC Rezound] kaptinkangaru:
30-50 gb on netflix, HBO go, torrents and Pandora. No tethering here.
[HTC Rezound] surfoside:
I use on average 40-60. I don't have internet or cable at my house, so everything I do is tethered. I have been on a unlimited for almost 5 years and I will do anything to keep it for as long as possible. Even If that means buying me phones at full price or off of craigslist.
[HTC Rezound] Slainez916:
About 10-12 G per month. I don't think I will ever sign a contract on this line again. My other two lines will suffer the wrath
[HTC Rezound] drt054:
I did 30gb once but normally about 10-12
[HTC Rezound] jr71x:
21gigs with sprints terribly slow 3g, no tether... Normally probably 10-15...
[HTC Rezound] smmate3:
I always tether my phone to my iPad and computer. Highest data usage was around 80 gb.
[HTC Rezound] txkorm:
54g with hotspot included.
[HTC Rezound] liqwidzero:
Last July I had used 18GB. Probably in the mid 20's in months before then. I was using my OG Droid as my primary connection for a year. It was slow, but at least that was one less bill I had to pay.
[HTC Rezound] ksizzle9:
Just an FYI on "what they call VIP"...that will be gone soon. I have been with them for well over 10 years and lost my VIP status here recently. That is with a maxed out family plan as well. As in everyone has/had unlimited data. As the old saying goes....@ll good tings must come to an end.....poop.

Quick question for everybody; I am using a solar charger to run some charging tests on my phone and I was wondering if there was a battery monitoring app that measured charging mA actively and not every 10-20 secs etc. Thanks in advance for replies. Also, I have battery monitor widget but can't find a way to configure it to update the mA faster.
[HTC Rezound] dyetheskin:
I believe the fastest update with mA measurement is watchdog.
[HTC Rezound] zekemo:
I downloaded the app and only see options regarding CPU usage and the alike. Are these options only in the paid version of the app?
[HTC Rezound] 1454:
Battery monitor pro. They have a free version. And you can have it update like every 30 sec if you want.
[HTC Rezound] zekemo:
I just bought battery monitor widget and it doesn't seem to have an options to change the update frequency. If there isn't an app that can accomplish this, maybe I will switch over to an amp meter :)
[HTC Rezound] 1454:
Yeah it does. Go to settings>history>history update rate.
[HTC Rezound] zekemo:
Much better :D Thank you sir. This might be exactly what I was looking for.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paolonicus:
I have noticed that after a few days of using, the back of the phone esp. the lower part tends to get warm/hot to the touch after using it for internet via Mobile Data. I haven't noticed this with games or watching videos. My phone is already rooted with CWM installed but I haven't played with the settings of the CPU.

Can you consider this normal? I came from Galaxy S II and the overheating issue was well documented while playing HD Games like those from Gameloft and other intensive activities on the phone., even if the unit is on ICS.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riso123:
No. They must have sent you a miniature nuclear reactor instead!

Seriously, there are LOADS of threads on this.

I have the same problem, and the samsung rep i talked to about this told me to get a new battery, i will go get one tommorow,you should try the same.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wbbigdave:
I am experiencing the same behaviour, but only if I use the handset for extended periods. It isn't too hot to hold though by no means but I can understand the concerns about battery.

Looking at this though, http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung-Galaxy-S-III-Teardown/9391/1#.T-AmIxeXSjP you can see that the Processor and all the other heat worthy chipsets are located in the lower portion of the handset.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droider_4ever:
Well that is completely normal in many cases. the lover part consist of the battery and most of the heating units. Mobile data consumes battery. try to play a big game like nova for 20 minutes and check if the heat is still there
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paolonicus:
I only experience this whenever I use data packet connection for internet. WiFi and other activities like playing HD Games and watching movies, the back portion is relatively cool if not just a little bit warm.

Here are the temps that Ive monitored:

1. WiFi: 29-32'C

2. HD Games: 29-31'C

3. Movies: 29-33'C

4. Data Packet Connection: 29-43'C. Please take note that if the Data Packet (Mobile Data) is on and I leave the phone unattended for almost an hour, the temp. reading slowly goes down to 30'C.

Would you consider these temperature readings normal?

I need expert advise from you guys.

Many thanks!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ausdim:
Hello.

I thinks it's normal...

But if you whant to compare, try that.

Download stability test app from google-play and run CPU/GPU test.

After 16 cpu passes it show me 42c.

Room temp is about 29c-30c

Also the phone is not in my hands τo avoid the temperature of my body and also without any case.

What's yours?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paolonicus:
I tried that app and tried that test. Mine passes and registered 41.5'C.

Is that ok?

But I think the primary culprit would be the modem, the one responsible for the 3G connection.

I dont think there are available modems flashable via CWM at the moment.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ausdim:
Hmm, maybe you're right.

Try to flash a diff modem from here and compare the result's.

As for flashing you can try MobileOdin. (I have the pro version)

I can't do that now cause i'm at work.. :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paolonicus:
I change the modem as advise by ausdim. It improve my connectivity and I noticed that it went to a maximum of 41.3'C.

Just to be on the safe side, I placed it in room-temperature and put it o a flat surface, to be exact on my writing pad. After 30 minutes of browsing, most of the readings are from 38' and below.

Would you consider this to be a significant improvement?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nacron:
Hrm, perhaps the US version will be a plus because of the lack of the overheating exynos. I'm ordering mine tomorrow from sprint :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miahegypt:

My experience

The first two days I had my phone, I was playing with it non stop for about 4 hours and mine got really warm too [bottom 1/3 of phone]

I was playing NOVA 3 with all radios on, and possible a few apps running in the background. The battery lasted less than 3 hours.

I just figured that it would have to as these powerful high performance electronics devices do tend to heat up.

Now, two weeks in, I have not noticed it since, so for me I'd put it down to new phone syndrome. :)

I did that test with my undervolted One X, after 20 cpu passes: 39,6°C

What kind of application can cause this? Or are there any known bugged apps that cause this?

Wakker is dutch for Wake
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devid801:
. THE Galaxy Notes when goes into standby (screen off) should go into deep sleep mode is a mode that allows you to keep to a minimum processor frequency to conserve the battery. Unfortunately, between the various firmware updates that we do and the various programs that we install (some of these work in backround without noticing it) can happen that the Note is no longer able to enter deep sleep mode remains fixed at 200mhz even while on table with display off.

To find out if our notes go into deep sleep, just install the free CPU Spy download here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5idmFsb3Nlay5jcHVzcHkiXQ..--- If your notes do not enter into deep sleep the greater the percentage occupied by the item above, or 200mhz. The fact that it is a 200mhz is quite useless to us since we're not doing anything with the device as it should be on standby at that time. It happens so that at night, leaving the device on but without the latter is used, however, so battery consumption (having remained fixed at 200mhz) and the following morning surprise that we find the percentage of low power.

To overcome this problem needs to be done in the following way: Deep Sleep Guide

- Go into settings and remove the following tones: sound freezes the screen and sound selection - Set the device in flight mode - Turn off the device - Remove the battery for 10 seconds - Power on the device - Wait until everything is loaded - Remove Airplane mode

And that's it. The Notes should regularly go into deep sleep after doing this guide. To check everything just to keep notes on standby for about ten minutes and see if The candidates and the percentage of deep sleep increases.

Hi

Even I face this battery issue....it is severe in my case. I hardly get 14 HRS of battery life even after about 30 charging cycles :(

I've installed CPU spy, I found that the CPU stays in 200Mhz, for testing purpose I had kept my cell phone untouched in flight mode for about 12hrs but still I lost more 50% of battery.

I had tested the battery by completely charging it, it just drains before my eyes . . .

I don't know if this is deep sleep issue. please help me.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devid801:
1. Flash and test different kernels in case of battery drain. Some are easier on your battery than the others. 2. Use Titanium Backup to freeze or uninstall crapware. This list is a useful guide as to what can/can't be removed from your system: https://spreadsheets.google.com/spr...SENVeXlqUm5vV0E&single=true&gid=0&output=html 3. Set Brightness to low value, disable autobrightness 4. Disable or scale down vibration and haptic feedback 5. Automatic syncing of your accounts is battery consuming. Sync manually if you can 6. Set screen timeout to 15 seconds 7. Disable fast dormancy (dial *#9900# and do it from there) 8. Don't keep your WiFi/Packet Data on all the time. However, if you must have WiFi on the second you wake up your phone, go to Settings/Wireless and Network/Wi-Fi settings - once in Wi-Fi Settings, hit the menu button (the bottom left one), choose Advanced/Wi-Fi sleep policy/When Screen Turned Off. This way your connection will toggle on/off depending on your screen on/of state 9. Disable location services via wireless networks - are you travelling that fast that you need those? 10. GPS is heavy on the battery, therefore use it sparingly

And don't use Juice or any other battery 'defenders': they keep running in the background and consume your juice by trying to save it. Not to mention other problems they can (and often do) create.

Hope this helps.
