If you click further on "Android System", it will tell you how much data was foreground data and how much it was background data. If you recently added your Google account, it's normal to have a lot of data transferred for the first sync.

Well it could be as the person above stated. However, maybe you've set it up so it syncs every hour? or weather syncs every 30 mins? There could be a whole variety of things that could increase your data usage.

why is less than 50mb on phone storage is considered low?

when i reach less than 50mb on the phone storage the phone keeps showing that im low on memory and my tmobile visual voicemail wont save any more messages.
50 mb is still a lot wth??
and the low memory notification keeps showing up unless i uninstall apps and go above 50 mb again :/
help please....
Because the phone comes with like 400. Lol. And if u do about an hour of web browsing u will see that about 15 of that 50 will be used up really easily until u erase browser cache

You could try a cache cleaner. I am not obsessive about it, just clean them once a month or so.

[Q] Mobile Internet Data

I'm new to the S3, I used the Facebook app for few minutes and surf two pages of web pages, my data usage went to 9MB, I only get 100MB data a month, is there a way to compress internet data to use less?

The facebook app or any app for that matter would download HQ images to fit the screen. Any compression that you'd want to use will be affect the image clarity. At the end of the day its upto you how you make this tradeoff between quality and quantity.
To save on data usage you could try using the opera mini browser or similar..

How to limit ram usage

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to limit or reduce the amount of ram that the phone uses. When i go to settings / apps/ running/ my phone consumes over 700mb of ram. When this happens my phone lags big time to the point it's almost unusable during those moments. I'm running SuperJelly m4 and have tried full wiping.

Have a look at the applications that are running (if I may suggest, SystemPanel) and determine which is using the most amount of memory. From there you can figure out if a specific application is hogging all your memory or there is an abundance of processes that are unnecessarily running (from which you can freeze using Titanium Backup or Disable under Settings > Apps).
I agree, sounds like a bad app, memory leak etc..I'm using around 750-800mb with no issues. Also , if not rooted you should try it along with some custom roms/kernals. Much better processing management along with speed and battery

[Q] Good app for Data Monitor

Im looking for a Data Monitor. But no the usual an app that tells you how much data you have used during a period of time. Im looking something like a process manager, but for data. An app where I can see which app is currently using data, kinda like a live streaming data monitor.
I've already look but all I could find is the typical app shows the data usage.

High Data Usage Google Photos

Every month I'm using about 25 gigs of data from the photos app. I've tried tweaking the settings to only upload via WiFi but still the data usage is exorbitant. What am I missing?
