My mobile data keeps turning on by itself and uses my data traffic. I think this is because of WhatsApp, but I'm not sure. Is there any other possible reason aside from WhatsApp? How should I stop it from happening?

Phone: Samsung GT9100i
Android Version: 4.2.1

If you are already guess it is whatsapp -- have you tried removing it and see if your problem goes away? As you specified you're running Android 4.2, you could simply disable it (via settings->apps->manage apps), so you wouldn't lose any data this way (and could re-enable it later if you want to). – Izzy Feb 11 at 12:41
