AP Mobile constantly using data!!

[jemcmichael]

I haven't experienced any improvement since attempting this method. Really aggravating

I've been monitoring the app through a data manager in the market.
People seem to be correct in that AP Mobile is chewing through major data.... The app ate through 12mb on wifi over night, and 2mb in the 1hr I was away from wifi on 3g. I also used Maps, and Waze while I was on 3g and they only used .6mb and .5mb respectively.

This problem needs to be fixed ASAP, I feel bad for those with limited data plans as this will become a major issue.

I had used 80 mb in 1 week for my monthly 200 mb data plan.

I removed AP Mobile with Titanium backup.

I'm new to android, would you mind sharing instructions for this method?

You need to Root your phone (check the sticky thread), then install Titanium Backup free from Android Market.

estimating ~ 3 mb/hour being used (without refreshing widget or opening app)

I have never opened this Ap or widget and it is not using any data.

You don't have to open or use it. Get a network monitoring app and look to see whats using data. I never opened or used it either, but it would constantly show that the app was using data.

I downloaded the My Data Manager Ap just so I could see. Its been running for 24 hours with no mention of AP mobile using data

I have the same experience as ricktat.
Been running My Data Manager on two GS2s and neither of them has any mention of AP mobile.
We never opened the app or used the widgets, if they were on the desktop when we got them then it was one of those many things that I quickly removed and buried in a bloatware folder.

I had used it and noticed it was eating through data faster than Snooki at a frat party. For an unrelated reason I did a factory reset and imagine my surprise, it isn't using any data anymore, in fact it's not even running.

A fix will come soon.

How do you do a factory reset?

I think it is in the security options.

 

[jemcmichael]

Actually it's under privacy. I just backed up everything and performed a factory reset. I'll report back on my results. I was over 80 mb from the AP mobile widget since October 6 and I'm on wifi most of the time.

 

[jemcmichael]

After an hour of performing a factory reset, AP Mobile is nowhere to be seen in my data usage!

Needing to do a factory reset to fix a problem like this is unacceptable IMHO. I added the widget one time (to confirm what you guys are talking about) and then took it off. It continues to use data. ~100mb since the 12th.

 

[shansmi]

that is not a fix but a workaround...

If it fixes the problem than it's a fix. The method posted earlier in this thread is a workaround, because it doesn't cause you to lose any data.

I'm curious is the same widget does the same thing on the Sprint and T-Mobile version.

The first thing I did when I noticed AP Mobile draining my data was look around online. I'm not sure about the Sprint or T-Mobile versions, but I saw a number of people from the UK and Australia complain about this same problem.
