I have a limited data plan, and when I connect via GPRS sometimes I see that a large amount of data has been downloaded without me doing anything, so I was wondering if there's a way to find out which applications use the connection.

Anyway I know the E-mail application doesn't check except on wifi, but I'm not sure about the application manager. Can you suggest other applications that may automatically use network??

Thanks

unless you have widgets that update automagically, the culprit is probably just the app manager.

`lsof -i` will show you open connections on the interface, along with the process that spawned it.

Ya it's probably the application manager, too bad there isn't a way to disable it, will vote for that.

I remember reading there was a way to set it to update every thousands of days or somthing, basicly making the time for the automatic update check never arrive.

There is, well practically.

Run the following

Replace NEW_VALUE with your desired update interval.
As default it is set to 1440 which is 24 hours, the maximum is 2147483647 which is just over 68 years.

Will it display anything to confirm this has changed? Do I need to be root?

Okay that's great, will still be able to check for updates manually though, right?

Yes, manual checking will still work, you will no longer see that little exclamation mark telling you about updates, so just keep that in mind and make sure you check for updates regularly.

This won't display anything, it should just go back to the standard prompt.
