Hi guys,
For some time now I've noticed an increase of my mobile internet data usage. Since I installed ICS on my Galaxy S I'm able to see why:
I've turned off every sync feature of Google+ since the moment I installed it. EVERYTHING is disabled and it still uses a huge amount of BACKGROUND data. What does it do? Does anybody have an idea?
Thank you!
try using cache cleaner app from the market....it should work fine
Wow that is a problem. G+ is becoming so intrusive on every platform it is on, like the automatic upload feature.. Thats a ridiculous feature! Who would want EVERY picture they take to go to a public social network? Is it possible that you have not disabled that feature and all those uploads are eating your data?
Also, what will clearing cache do to stop background mobile data usage Wilfred?

Okay good to know! I will remember this when/if I experience the same. Thanks for the explanation.
I've signed out from the app and blocked the background app sync...this means no more google plus for me. Since december I've cleared my cache so many times.

I noticed that was surpassing my data limit this month. I installed 3G watch dog to see if I could find the culprit. Obviously the browser is the main draw, and considering that I've already been spoiled with Flash I have been using it a lot. What I've noticed is that my second highest draw is a list of services, that used 20MB in a day. 3G watchdog groups these all together so I don't know which specific services is using so much data.
Anyone else seen this issue. Any way of seeing the data draw of each specific service?
Set the social networks on motoblur to sync only with wifi.

Blur really uses that much data? Wow. I can't wait until they give us an unlocked bootloader and I can install CM...

20mb seems like a lot of data usage without your interaction. Did you install any apps not from the market? ie: sideload from a not so reputable site. Gingerblur the thing and start fresh. Then you can install the apps you want and leave out the ones you don't want.
Hello
i am using the amazing CM9+ ICS kernel from NaA.
Here my question:
As you can see on the attached Picture, In six days, since i installed the ROM, the ANDROID OS used 0.95 GB background Data? i don`t know if this is relatet to CM9, but i never had this in any other ROM i flashed before. Do i need to disable any background Service or...?

Thank you for your post. Good to know, that it's not only on my phone
My Problem is, i don`t have a Data Flatrate...

As it seems, ICS reports most of the stuff to Android OS, for example, I've been playing an MMORPG for around a week, and it shows 186KB usage, same for Opera Mini, whereas Android OS shows 186MB.
OS isn't actually consuming the whole .95GB you speak of, but you are certainly using all that data from other processes.

Thank`s for your answer. MarcEcko!
So if i understand you right, please correct me if i'm wrong: all data traffic together is shown as 0.95 GB in Android OS?

Whatever it is actually reporting... it seems like you have a problem. Unless using this much mobile data is normal for you. 1Gb is A LOT!
There are other programs out there that will track the usage by application so that you can really see which apps are consuming the data and be able to do something about it. I was using NetQin Mobile Security for awhile, which should do the trick. There are many other data usage specific apps.

I don't use much data . At home i have wlan and during the day i am a bit on xda facebook e mail.. That can't be the reason for that data consum in 6 days. I will track my data as soon as i have data again,thanks. And also i will reflash CM9 on weekend.
EDIT:
Reflash done
Started Data Tracking

Im having the same issue on my Samsung Galaxy S3 running stock ICS. I would really like to know, since I am on a very low data plan. Thanks for any more info.
I just read on another thread that the culprit is the backup/reset option. A lot of ppl say that if you turn this off, Android os background use goes way down. I'll try it and see.

Thanks will try that, I've tracked down it is a matter of large uploads normally 30 to 250 megs that occur in the over night hours (between 1Am and 6AM), but do not know the cause will see if that is it. Also odd that as the phone is connected to a Wifi connection during those hours, so it should not use any mobile data, also as if it is using mobile data when it should be using wifi, will see if I can verify whether this is the case or not tonight.

Anyone else having this problem? It's KILLING my battery. Every time I unlock my phone, the sync icon pops up. I have everything set to refresh the least amount of times, and I don't want to turn it off cuz I won't get my emails and it screws my weather up...

Data issue.
Anything I can do to fix it? I never have bad signal, and data is always fast as can be.

Try a reboot, if you're rooted, go in to recovery, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache and fix permissions.
I had the same problem. I backed up with titanium, did full wipe, reinstalled, and restored.... Worked like a charm. Hope that helps

Hey folks,
EDIT: OK, part of Android OS might have been VoIP traffic, not figured out where the rest comes from.
I have a high mobile background data traffic (1,25gb Android OS, 181MB Opera Background traffic) imageshack.us/photo/my-images/718/20130404101621.png in just 1day! Besides that my droidwall log shows kernel and Android System activity (all synching and backups disabled, no push notifications, no facebook or similar) imageshack.us/photo/my-images/690/20130309104720.png
Running latest carbonrom v1.6
Android OS traffic occured after switching SIM cards (maybe it was previously there as well but didn't recognize due to low data limit)
read similar posts on the forumhttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1443239 but am not willing yet to down and upgrade the firmware yet
Any ideas?

bump! it must be gremlins sitting in my phone and having a good trash talk with Santa or do you have any better explanation for this traffic?

Its The easter bunny he used mine too when he dropped the kids eggs off. (bar-steward)
ALL joking aside have you tried full wipe/factory reset of phone. Could just be a rogue app? Got to be worth a try if you not already. Failing that get an app from play store that shows each programme and the data its eating. Good luck.
Here this looks like a good one Data managment App

Hi. I recently posted on this forum coz I always only had 120 free MBs and my smartlhome started to go pretty slow without any reason. When I was typing on whatsapp it suddenly closed, I couldn't send any instant camera pictures because camera suddenly closes too, etc...
So I decided to root my phone and uncheck the 2 options of MLT Test (Enable option and USB depurate option) and seems like I get more free mbs but now the RAM it started to get short again, Im still gettin 150mbs again and thats annoying....
There is any solution ti fix this? Im using Clean Master too.
Greetings.
Ps. I got an app of my Phone Company and I dobt know how to unibstall it, it is desactivated but I couldnt find thr way to erase it, I've tried many explorers but didn't show up.

Disable mlt is always a good way of gaining a little more ram, also the longer you have your phone running, the more it'll start lagging. So restart it for at least every time you charge it again. Also a bit more than that. Clearing caches isn't always the right solution, due to the fact that your phone has to load everything again, and it is sometimes quicker if you already have the apps cache there as the app will start quicker. If you have a lot of your apps running in the background, messenger, Facebook etc which are quite heavy when it comes to taking up ram, either delete them, or find apps which automatically close certain apps you choose yourself, and remove them from starting on boot.

Woah, thank you mate. I always close apps like FB or TW after using them so Im not running apps in the background. I will follow your advices...
Now I got one more question.
I'm gettin 43º (thats what Clean Master says) when I'm using whatsapp but CM saysa that's ok...
Is that really OK or should I worry?

Completely forgot to mention, if you go into developer settings, then there should be a ProcessStatics or something, it's also called geeky stats, in there it tells how the memory status is, which is the thing managing ram and so on, you can click on every app and see how much it uses and so on, its quite handy. And I'm not sure about the temperature, it doesn't sound alarming so it should be fine
