Phone keeps downloading data with no user activity, where's the leak? I've got a strange problem. My HTC Incredible running MIUI has a data leak of some sort.

It downloaded over 4 GB's of data last month and I can't seem to figure out where it's coming from.

I've installed Onavo and My Data Manager to track what's using the data and in Onavo i get 'Market Downloader' and in My Data Manager i get 'Download Manager'

I have barely installed any apps and certainly haven't downloaded 4GB of data, video streaming/downloading, or music. This never used to be the case and I've tried to delete as many of the apps as I could think of that might be doing this, but still nothing.

How can I pinpoint what's downloading this data?
One of the three Incredibles we own had the same problem. It too was running MIUI.

I found this thread on the MIUI forums. After changing the build.prop file as indicated in that thread the problem went away.

Edit to add the following information:

  Changed these lines to this:
  
  Do not try to parse ro.build.description or .fingerprint ro.build.description=3.26.605.1 CL264707 release-keys
  ro.build.fingerprint=verizon_wwe/inc/inc/inc:2.3.4/GRJ22/222219:user/release-keys
   end build properties
  
  It's really just the "build fingerprint" that matters as you can see.


If the MIUI is referencing an older version of Android then the carrier will keep trying to download the latest Android update. That's where the data download is coming from.
