com.sonyericsson.unsupportedheadsetnotifier data usage

Fri, 06 Jan 2012 09:36:14 GMT

Hi,

I notice that an application called com.sonyericsson.unsupportedheadsetnotifier is using a large amount of data (~6MB in 24h).

Has anyone else noticed this, know what it's for and know how to stop it using so much data?

I have an Experia Mini.

I have got that option set but for wi-fi only.

According to the 'Track your 3G' app it's also sending the data over 3G.

I'll switch it off anyway to see if that makes a difference.

Interesting. I've never switched on Bluetooth on this phone (only had it a week).

Still not sure how to remove it or stop it using data.

I have done a 'Force stop' on it. Let's see if it restarts itself at any point.

Are you sure you're not just looking at how much RAM memory it's using and its CPU time?

I'm using the Track your 3G app which shows me how much data each app has used over wi-fi and alos how much over 3G. UnsupportedHeadsetNotification is top of the data usage list.

A headset isn't necesserily a bluetooth headset. It can be a regular pair of earphones. Even the earphones that were supplied with the phone are recognized as a "headset" by the phone.

That's odd. I'll check it on my phone.

I've noticed the same process on my Xperia Ray a few days ago. It uses about 1MB per day (My Data Manager). Any idea how to shut this down? I've tried Force stop, but it still uses data.

I have the same issue with an ArcS but mine wastes ~4MB/day. It seems that the only solution is root the phone...

Anyway, why an "invalid headset" notification needs to send data? Who is been notified?, sure is not the phone user.

It seems like it uses more data the more I browse the internet. On the days I do very little browsing, it uses very little of my data. This is very strange to me. What does this have to do with headsets? I really didn't want to root the phone. This sucks.

Exactly! I see no reason for this process to access the internet!
