malicious software???

2 days ago I received SMS from my service provider that I've fully consumed my data quota which is a 1st for me. Yesterday I suddenly noticed abnormal sync activity, so I immediately unchecked "Auto-sync" and "Background data" options in the Accounts & sync settings menu which should have stopped the sync but it continued. So I rebooted and double checked that all sync options are unchecked but still the device was continually syncing. Only after I unchecked the "Wi-Fi (Turn on Wi-Fi)" & "Mobile network (Connect to the Internet)" in the Wireless & networks settings sync stopped.

Device details:

HTC Desire

FW ver- 2.1 update1

Kernel Ver- 2.6.29-bravo-mck-r1 paul@Paul-OBriens-iMac #2

Any idea what's going on? Has someone downloaded all my content? Is there any available solution?

have you installed anything lately? maybe check the usage stats and see which process is running the most

Don't suppose you've removed FriendStream from your ROM have you? That causes a constant sync

I've never used FriendStream, can it all of a sudden start syncing?

It's not really a question of how often you use it. What he meant was whether or not you added FriendStream into your custom-baked ROM or not.

If you left it out of your bake, there have been reports of a "never-ending" sync problem :huh:

I have the constant sync icon, too, and I specifically made sure to include FriendStream in my cooked MCR ROM... I don't see higher 3G activity, though.

Have you tried a full wipe then flash and see if that solves your problem?

I had a weird bug where my calendar entries suddenly disappeared and refused to show on my Desire, but are perfectly visible when I view them on the computer via Google Calendar. A full wipe and re-flash fixed my problem, and I haven't experienced this again since *touch wood* :huh:

I have the same problem with the constant syncing and I didn't add friend stream so I might bake another rom and try that.

Thanks for the info guys.

Thanks, I had this issue and hadn't realised leaving out Friendstream caused problems. All sorted now.
