Default eating away at my data!

Anyone else experiencing this? I've had this going on for about 5 days now and for the life of me couldn't figure it out. I notice that whether it's my 3G or my WiFi connection, my phone was continuously streaming data. If I'm at work where I don't have WiFi activated, my 3G is on non-stop streaming, making matters worse, sucking the life out of my battery. Of course my phone was running warm. Imagine that!

I know there's got to be something running in the background and I think I nailed it down to Google's email app. There wasn't any huge file to upload/download which I think could have caused this to happen.

Luckily I may have found a remedy. Microsoft has finally gotten around to updating their Hotmail software for ICS. It's been over 30 mins since the Hotmail app install and the data transfer thingy doesn't seem to be so intense now. In fact it's down to nil.

Strange.
