Re: Data usage question
In DB there’s a setting to upload photos and videos when on Wifi ONLY. Make sure you turn that option on.
Also, Swype shouldn’t be moving things back and forth from the internet. Maybe the first time when the helper app downloads the main app. If you are rooted use DroidWall to block internet traffic from applications that don’t/shouldn’t be needing it.
Also, there’s this app called Ad Network Detector (by Lookout Labs) that finds the apps (and the ad company) and what activity and access it has. This keeps you better informed on what’s going on on your Android device.

Will get that app.
Yes I do have that option on DP already. Dunno why I have this strange feeling my wifi was not connected at all, although I never disabled it. Checked all my settings today. Hope things are in order now.
