why the massive data use???

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.play the game lots
2.recieve txt notification of data allowance limit
3.use avast anti-virus to analyze data usage

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected output would be minimal data usage - less than something actually 
running in game ads. Instead it was the highest ranked app, exceeding my web 
browser by over 25%!! What is it doing??

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
4.01 on Galaxy s2

Please provide any additional information below.
Am deeply suspiscious and disappointed.

maybe it is counting the internal data use from the on phone game server to the 
on phone game client...

Ras is correct: the game is creating a "server", a "client" for the human 
player, a "client" for each AI player and using the "server" to coordinate game 
activity between all the players. The Android INTERNET permission is needed to 
open network sockets, even though the app doesn't go outside the phone. I am 
able to play the game fine with WiFi disabled, but the app will crash if it 
doesn't have the INTERNET permission. I don't see a different permission that 
will give the network socket without internet access, and I don't see any way 
for an unrooted phone to monitor/firewall to verify the app is not using your 
data plan to access the internet.
