Data seems to be bottlenecked or taken up by some process...

[Android Central Question]

Hard to explain what i'm dealing with here... i'm not sure if i downloaded an app that's doing this, but it appears as though my cellular data signal will become clogged or bottlenecked by something running on my phone. i will get waves of notifications or texts randomly all at once and other times it will be like i'm getting no data flow at all... the up arrow on the data icon will occasionally light up, but no down arrow, as if my data connection is paused or being monopolized by some process running in the background. has anybody else experienced this? I have to literally close all my apps and re-open them to get any sort of data flow.
