Data Usage at Strange Times

[Forsberg21]

Hi guys. I am checking over my plan and my phones data usage and I see some strange things. I just got my new S3 and when checking my usage on the AT&T website, for the past week I see all kinds of usage overnight, ranging between 1 KB's to up to 200 KB's, totalling .3 GB's of my plan in a week. I know the phone is off at night and no one is using it. I also have wi-fi at home and that is enabled on the phone as well. So, what the hec is causing all of this data usage.....are there background apps running? If so, what is the best course of action to eliminate this wasted type of usage?

What apps do you have installed? It sounds like an app is calling out over cell instead of wifi.

Did you really mean 3GB or should it have been 3MB?
