Gallery massive data usage!

There's only 2 places where you can find me, school and my house, at least 80% of the time. Both places have WiFi, thus I'm connected on WiFi 80% of the time but then this gallery chose to use my data plan to upload or download (I don't know that it did, why it used so much of that data).

My G+ app is only set to upload/download thru WiFi, also for dropbox .. but then this gallery data hog happened. I noticed this first on FrostyJB_4.1.1-v6; it used the first 800MB so I decided to turn off my data. The OTA(FrostyJB_4.1.1-v7) came and I thought the bug was fixed. I opened my data again until I received a text from T-Mobile that I have to upgrade my data plan since I've already used 1.9GB..

Yup, for like 3 hours (I wasn't home nor school) it used ~900MB.. it's crazy.. And why the hell it chose to use the data when I am always connected to WiFi.

In normal usage, I only use 500-600MB per month of my data plan.. Now, its 1.9GB for only 10 days.

Here are some pictures.

On wifi, Google+ only used 21MB

Using my data plan, Gallery just used up all my plan

Hey Darron man I sent you a pm. Thanks for all of your hard work its much appreciated. I'm sure everyone here will second and third and fourth me on that lol you rock man! :good::good::good:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Darron614:
Why don't you just turn off data? If you have a limited data plan you should only turn it on when you are using it and turn it off right after (especially if you can be using wifi instead).

If your data was faster than the wifi, then that is probably why it used data instead. Also, if you have your phone synced with Facebook, then it probably used all that data syncing photos with your gallery (or maybe you need to check and make sure dropbox is set to wifi only). The gallery wouldn't do it for no reason, it is using data doing something.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jcX4ever:
I never turned off data even during my old G1 and G2 and I never got something like this. Also, I never turned my data off on stock SGS3 ROM and Frosty 1.5 and 1.4 and I always end up using 500MB~600MB for per month. However, I turned it off when I first noticed the mysterious data usage then I turned it back on after the Forsty 1.7 OTA to see if the problem is still there.. I also installed "My Data Manager app" to find the app that was using all the data .. Now I found the culprit, its the gallery.

The thing is, you also need data when you are out of WiFi since you want to be alerted on emails, Chats and Tango etc.. The Gallery did it for no reason.. hence it is a problem.

BTW, I dont have facebook. Also. all my syncs are WiFi only.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Darron614:
So every single account (in settings>accounts) is set to sync over wifi only? When you click google in accounts is picasa unchecked?

---------- Post added at 04:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:53 AM ----------

Well I am 100% it is not an issue with the ROM. Took me about 5 seconds to do a google search and find out a lot of people are having this same problem. Most people concluded it was google+, picasa, or if both of those are turned off (or wifi only) it seems that the samsung gallery may automatically back up pictures to google.

Also any videos that you stream will be data used by the gallery (besides youtube).
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jcX4ever:
I opened each app and I change the setting for each(dropbox and google+). I dont have Picasa installed. I am not sure about Samsung gallery.. I don't even use that. Also, I have only very few app installed. BTW, I just disabled Samsung account sync (could be one possible reason too.)

Why I thought it was ROM because I never had this problem until 1.6 update.. Never had it... since G1.

Here's some pix

Are you using 4.2 gallery by any chance? If you are go into settings while in the 4.2 gallery and turn Google photo sync off. Not sure if the stock 4.1.1 gallery has this because I don't have that installed right now. I don't see the photo sync option in the n2 gallery. Almost positive you have an app syncing photos somewhere though. Check and make sure that Facebook isn't syncing photos either. Facebook is a funny app. Sometimes it kinda has a mind of its own. Other than that wipe and reflash. Make sure you have a good download. Just want to throw this in but if you're using titanium backup don't restore any system data only restore user apps Sometimes a good reflash is all you've got ya know? Samsung account sync shouldn't be causing gallery to use data like that especially if you are on WiFi. You did say that gallery is using the data right? You just said that you found out that gallery was the culprit and then you said you don't know about gallery because you never use it? That's weird
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jcX4ever:
It's probably just my that is English giving us confusions. I meant that I don't use the Samsung Gallery. Well, I use the Gallery, to view pix but I never knew it can also use data. The Gallery was using all the data.. here's the pix http://i.imgur.com/XPCJa.png

Also, I don't have Facebook account hence, I don't have facebook apps.

Here is the snapshot of my gallery.. I don't even have the option to set sync or I can't even see the version of it. http://i.imgur.com/z20w8.png

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sheltrack:
Yo yo yo bro...Yeah i already tried 4.2 apps...camera is cool because of photosphere. Thats actually a really nice feature, but i like the gnote camera better, plus i have the gnote photoedit app along with it. 50plus photo edit features... Ill prob take a few pics with photosphere and never use it again just like i did panarama. And keyboard is better than 4.1 but lets face it...no keyboard is on the level of swiftkey. prediction and correction in that thing are incredible.

v7 has been running great and battery life has been great.

However today I did have a strange event this morning.

I was unable to get it to respond.

Kind of like a SOD

I hit the power button and I could not get it to respond.

Screen would not show, but then my alarm went off, and a phone call or 2 came in.

But still no display.

I was able to plug it into the computer and grab a logcat.

While logcatting, i hit the power button, Home button, screen, just to see if it would show on the log.

Sorry I had my batch file set to -v so the log is quite large

Go to settings/ accounts/ Google and uncheck the sync photos box. If you've already done this or already said that you did then disregard this because I'm half asleep right now and am too lazy to reread the last couple of pages again. Other than this, picassa, Facebook or something like that Im at a loss. This should do the trick though

Please help!

Guys,

Got my brand new Tmo S3 10 days ago and put on this rom on the second day. Been bragging since then to all my friends of my dear S3.

Yesterday I unlocked the phone using Tmo code from tmo. It was fine till this afternoon when suddenly the phone went to 'Searching' mode. Not registering on the network at all.

Took it to Tmo and they tried my sim on another phone and it worked.

They said I need to get the phone swapped right away. Well, I bought it brand new from CL.

Is my radio bad? Can I flash the radio? Please help gurus!

I tried reflashing - didn't work.

When I go to Network operators and select automatically, it says 'failed to register'.

Please help folks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] funziebear:
Could be blacklisted if you bought it from clist
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rajunks:
OMG! How can I tell and what can I do?`
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] funziebear:
If it is you can't do anything besides Unlock it and use it on att or sell it abroad :/ call T-Mobile and ask they will tell you. I had to call 3 times for.mine cuz I got two different answers at first,
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mryounghc:
I know so many people who bought paper weight phones off of CL. most of the time they are unpaid for, stolen or lost and someone else found it. if it is brand new it was probably taken straight from the store. either way when its reported they shut that esn down. only the original owner is able to resolve that issue through t-mobile. dont know if it is true but i heard when an esn is blacklisted it is nationwide on gsm carriers?

well i hope this isnt your situation but rather an error on your end
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jangst123:
Wow that really sucks! If you find out from tmobile that it is not a black listed phone. PM me and I'll give you a hand or you you can post in the General thread asking for help.

But lets get back on topic!! This is not something caused by this ROM so lets not clog the thread with it!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rajunks:
Tmobile confirmed that it was reported as stolen :(

It was brand new sealed in the box - I took it to a Tmo store to activate it!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] d3athb4dishonor:
Damn that sucks nothin they can do for u?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rajunks:
Wow - what a day. I called the guy and left a nice message asking him to call me back. After 1 hour, no call.

I texted from a diff. phone and threatened to go to cops.

He texts me back. I called and he said he can give me the number of the person he "got" it from - I asked for my money.

he said he only has $370 of $450 that I paid. I said keep $20 and give me $430 else I am going to cops.

He met me at a SBUX and gave me the $430!

Man, I see you are on the top of your game. Thanks a lot for your hard work.

Hey. Is there any chance you can make a nice navigation bar for your rom????? I see that others are doing it with other builds, and it's getting very creative where you can change the colors and all that.

Can you please let me know if this is something you will look at again? I think i told you about this a few releases ago and you said you'll look into it. Thanks again and i know there are a lot of people requesting things and you are only one. This is why i bring it to you again...We all love you.

Take care

Would you be able to implement changing the music track with the volume buttons? I have been using Xposed and Tweakbox to do this on ICS ROMs but they are no longer being updated and they don't support JB ROMs. It would be really sweet to have this baked right in and not have to use those apps to do it.
