Samsung Galaxy S3 Data Usage

I was just talking to a friend who had this problem, android has an issue of leaving things running in the background and it will connect to the network to check for updates and other silly things, if this is happening 24/7 it will eat up your data as well as give you terrible battery life. One of the most common suggestions is to kill the data connection when you aren't using it, that is kill it when it's running in the background.

1.At the first go to main menu.
2.Now go to the Settings.
3.Now open the Wireless and Network settings.
4.Now tap on the Mobile networks option.
5.Now remove the select option for the Use packed data option.

I'm not 100% sure since I have an iPhone, but seems this is the 'common' cure for this problem and it seems it's a common issue.
