X8 data Using too much data???

[#1]

Hi all.

HELP Please.

My wife has a new X8 and the data usage is through the roof. 9Mb over night while we are asleep!!!

I have an xperia arc and probably do more stuff that requires data usage and I'm no where near those levels, I've checked over her setting and running apps closed all I can and turned off the auto update but it is still chewing through data.

Is there a good app to see what is using this data?

Have I missed something?

Do all of the x8 do this?

Is the only option to turn off the data? this is a poor option as it has to be toggled when not in wifi and I'd rather it be automatic, she has 100Mb per month and this should be plenty for checking emails when not in wifi range.

Is there a fault with her handset??

Any help and advice would be welcome, mostly in tracking down the app that is the culprit.

Thanks

Tom.

Didn't swap sim cards as we areon the same network. However, today I backed up the phone and did a repair/re-install of 2.1 and fingers crossed it has sorted the problem as data use is right down tonight will be the test as it used 5 Mb last night and it was connected to wifi. the handset is back to where it was, the only app installed is the 3g monitor. the only thing different is that I haven't synced to facebook.

Will report tomorrow.

The other possible cause could be installed apps accessing the internet in the background.

As long as you get your issue resolved, whenever method does not matter.

SORTED!!!!

The phone is now working without having to toggle the data on and off.

Reloading the firmware did the trick it only used 1kb over night and 4kb all day yesterday while we were out. The fact that the phone was "stock" and had no apps on it was why it was such an issue with me, the only app that we put on there was a data watch dog to see what was being used.

The only thing that hasn't been restared is Timescape maybe this was the culpit??

Anyway happy now, thanks for all the suggestions.
