    What model of phone is it?

    Sounds like something is syncing - maybe a good idea to turn syncing off...
    If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, we have at least to consider the possibility that we have a small aquatic bird of the family anatidae on our hands

    Just check that it isn't set up to sync with anything else, my HTC was set to sync with 7 different apps and accounts, but I made tham all manual instead. Also try turning off mobile data and only put it back on when you need it...
