What happens if you press the button to reset the statistics? Does it return to zero?

Not always. Sometimes it does

You say you don't use 3G but presumably your iPad has 3G. Do you have a SIM card installed - or has it never been activated?

Never had a sim card. But my ipad has 3g

Maybe it's a bug that no one has noticed because I guess there aren't too many people with a 3G iPad that don't use the 3G - or have never used or initialised it.

I think so! Thanks

Looks like a mad pointer issue. Or sort of... The ipad is probably reading a memory slot for data usage that should be populated by the sim card. Since there is no sim card, the memory slot is a random one and actually used by something else, thus you are seeing a value from something else.

So when the iPad is asking the system for the memory slot adress to read the data usage value, the system cannot find the sim card, and must be returning an error status. But the code is probably not checking that status and is using the status code as a memory allocation address...
