Yesterday Yahoo! issued a statement regarding the Windows Phone 7 phantom data bug that’s been causing users to burn through data on their WP7 handsets at an alarming, data plan busting rate. Today we get yet another statement, this time one that is shifting the blame onto Microsoft. | ||

| It's entertaining to watch MS blame everything on its (haha) "partner", only to watch it blow up in their faces again. I honestly do not know why anyone would want to partner with MS. They will either throw you under the bus when things go wrong, or outright steal your technology and dare you to sue. |

#1: Unfortunately, iOS has the same problem. But that is OK, we know that blame must be placed on MS in all cases, even if they are doing it correctly.

#3: I don't have this problem on my BB; my buddy doesn't have it on his Android. Nobody is saying it's happening to iPhone except this one blogger on a pro-Windows site, so you'll have to excuse me if I wait for confirmation.
This could have been handled to differently and so much better. MS and Yahoo should have issued joint statements and gotten to the bottom of it together. Instead, they turn on each other, point fingers and play blame tennis in public. Very poor form. |

Irrespective of phone, phone OS or type of email account one uses, this can and will happen when their is a sync error and an object becomes stuck in the out-bound queue of the device.
Periodically check the folders in the mobile mail client application's outbox for a hung item and manually remove it if one is found. This happens when sync objects cannot be reconciled and most often when replying to a received message that has more than one attachment of different types. Just clear the offending object and you'll not see excessive data usage. This occurs, because Microsoft more fully and frankly, more properly sets its clients to "poll with the server", rather than according to an interval, or as new objects are sent "from" the mobile device. Ideally, remote clients, including mobile email clients, will poll with their hosts to ensure that all items remain identically synchronized - regardless of the number, type or mix of clients connecting to the same account/mailbox. While it enters an error state rarely, when it does, and the objects cannot be reconciled, the device will attempt to reconcile the object each time it polls with the host. Being unable to sync properly, a great deal more data is exchanged until the object is cleared. |
