id like to say since i downloaded the power control app. and disabling a lot of the other stuff...my data has considerably dropped off big time...id hope more who are having the same problem read this thread and do the same if you find your phone using up back ground data
I really wish we could disable Backup Assistant. It's one of the few bloatware apps that can't be disabled. Anyone who uses it should seriously consider migrating their data to Google services like Gmail/Contacts, Google Music and Picasa. It's just makes it so easy.

That's good to hear! Were you able to pinpoint the main culprit?
Backup assistant is useless. Waste of space since everything is synced to Google.
Have you went into settings and opened data usage? It should show you what apps are using what data and you do have the ability to restrict data on each app.
i have done what i was told to do by verizon, and by what i read on this site, but im still getting background data use on my phone. with this update it seems like verizon is forcing on its customers to blindly have to figure out how to turn off the background data, when it was as simple as a yes or no on the GB...i for one have emailed verizon over this and will most likely be jumping ship and probably getting a non android phone if this is the same case with other providers with the ICS update. it has been very frustrating when i never went over .5 and since the update ive used 1.3gb and not even before the new billing month. I know im not the only one with this complaint and feel as if Verizon has pulled one over on its customers with ICS rolling out the same time their new plan has rolled out as well.
