hi i have just opened my new bill from my provider and it 8 times as much as normal
apparently i have downloaded an extra 85mb of data and they now what to charge me £250
i called and asked when i did this and was told from 10pm on a friday to 7am on the saturday morning
i find this very strange as i was in bed at this time and i am sure i would have remembered doing this
it cannot be anyone else in the house hold as no one knows how to use my phone but me (wife as techincal as beans on toast and daughter is 3 and asleep at this time)
but my provider stated i did download this data
has anyone come across a tytn downloading on its own
and is their any way of recovering the history of the phones data with software installed now
help please

I am currently going thru a situation where my Kaiser connects to MediaNet for no reason http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=387344
I suspect that at some point during the night your phone connected by itself and remained connected. At this point I have no cause or solution except to shut your phone off at night as I do and check it during the day to disconnect. I have an unlimited data plan, but I am sure at some point AT$T will hit me with excessive data download. Hopefully I or someone can come up with something.

P.S. Have already set the Kaiser Tweaks shut off to 1 min to no avail although I have read in this forum that some of the Kaiser Tweaks no longer are effective with the new AT$T Rom update.

this happened to me and i told them it wasnt my falut and that i wasnt going to pay for it...so i made a deal with them hahaha...i said i would change my data plan (from $15 to $25) for unlimited data but i told them i wasnt going to pay for the extra charge and im a loyal and long customer so they let it slide....I paid and extra 10 bucks instead of 350 in charges hahaha

There is a simple solution to this!

Just download and install this little app (http://www.modaco.com/content/Pocket-PC-Software/246171/New-FREE-Utility/) called NoData!

Then toggle your data connection and the phone will never use your sim to connect to internet, unless you toggle it back again!

I hope this helps!

Or you can just set up a dead end setting thru your connection menu in your start>connections>manage existing connections and toggle from there right? And not have to worry about "bizarre registry errors" After toggling. Seems like a good work around but being a needy SOB, I "need" to know what is causing this spontaneous connecting all of a sudden?
