this is getting annoying, just flashed lpD from scratch and yet again its happening again, what the hell is downloading here
Use other network monitoring apps like 3g watchdog and check the showing informations is correct.
also you can check with your Network provider, whether this truely happens or not.
Are you allowing google to sync your account? It may be downloading all your apps in the background (Or updating them)
I never tick any of the options after flashing/when setting the phone up...no background downloads
If it was me, I would be paranoid and think that somebody was hacking into my phone

err...why?
Sounds like your Play store updating your apps in the background. Put data or wifi on and open play store, press menu key and go to 'my apps'. If they're downloading click on the 'x' on the top right of the screen to 'stop all'.
You can also check settings --> Data Usage to see whats eating your data, its a feature of ICS
by the way how many apps u got????
what does the built in data usage app reports?? if the problem persists still after a full wipe then it may be (may be) a malware. so if you are sure its not because of sync or some other app then you can try formatting data,system along with your internal sd and external sd from cwm before flashing a new rom.
i agree with everyoen above. it might be google just syncing information
Ok here what happens, when ever I flash a new stock ROM after wipe, right after I log in using google, it start happening.
No its not my apps
As you can see its not play store either.
I checked it multiple times now.
Exact 90MB got downloaded every time.

Just round 10 apps, and it happens after that as 10apps takes like 5 mins to finish.

Ok I'm trying it again, will full wipe, remove sdcard, flash using Odin, lets see what happens
No nothing changed, removed sdcard, full wiped, flash new lpd using Odin.
Right after I sign in though I have UN tick the auto restore option, it started and right nite its at 40 mb, it will stop at 90mb.
I'm assuming something got backup to google and now every time I sign in, it comes back like the contacts.
Is there any way I know what and where its storing the filles.
Does any one know a way to wipe google account from their servers, like the screen shot.
This is wiping some stuff not all, as after signing in, I don't get my last apps or stored passwords anymore but that 90mb still comes.

Dear friends;
I have a question about that stock apps being installed automatically after flashing a new rom, where is these apps located because I want to make my own apps to be installed automatically after the flash.
now I'm using backup program to do this but I prefer that auto install way.
thanks in advance
forgive my bad english

First and foremost WRONG SECTION.... U think asking question in Original android development section is rite??
BTW stock apps means system apps only... The apps u install from outside is third party apps... U asking abt the apps u installed before or installed after flashing?? Before means obvi it ll be in SD card.. After means it be ll in ROM...

I'm talking about this
that does nothing.
that screen only comes up, when you flashed a stock ICS 4.0.3 rom without wipe. it does not actually install apps, it just scans app folders like /system/app/ and /data/app for already installed apps to integrate in the launcher. maybe it also checks compatibility with android 4. but at the moment that screen shows up, all apps are already installed.
it is just a marketing thingy to pretend to perform app migration after upgrading the OS. if you upgrade through kies and had auto-restart checked and were unable to get to recovery to perform a factory reset prior to the first boot, you will see that screen appear after the first boot "installing" all your apps. then if you reboot into recovery, factory reset the phone and reboot, you will see it only "installs" the few stock apps and all user apps are gone.
this migration, together with not wiping your phone when flashing, will make it slow and unstable over time. it is the same thing with a windows pc. of course one could upgrade the OS, say, from vista to 7, and installed programs and settings might get migrated but in the end, everybody who knows, what they are doing, will still format c: prior to installing a new OS and install the programs afterwards for them to run perfectly.
and all stock apps, that survive a factory reset, wipe are in fact system apps in /system/app
they can still disappear when flashing a new rom.
your best bet is to backup all your apps with titanium backup pro and after flashing a rom or performing a factory reset, you select batch and restore all user apps + data. that way, you can simply install 100+ apps with a few clicks, and their respective settings (scores, customizations...) will be restored as well, which would not be the case with the way you suggested.
so, not only is your way not practical, it is also next to impossible. and it would make no sense, crumming all user apps in the 512MB system partition and leaving the 2GB data partition empty.

sure I'll not put my all apps in the system/app. I made a rom and put my apps in the data/app and after flashing I got all of my applications installed and working too except some of google apps like google+ and drive. I think that screen shows us it's installing the apps not just scanning, because I searched the rom for these apps I didn't find it, so I think it's packed somewhere and I hope to find it
i just received a low disk space notification and i can not get rid of it. Just yesterday I had about 6gb of free space and today it says that i have 12mb left. i have not installed anything, as a matter of fact, i deleted some apps last night. I received this false notification before and all i did was wipe cache. this time i wiped both cache and dalvik and the issue is still there. any suggestions?
How much memory do you have left this time?

get the app "disk usage"........that is great for seeing what is using up disk space
Use Sdmaid which is available over play store and perform a system cleanup/app.
If youre getting the same error i have, gallery thumbnails are taking an insane amount of space without reason.
I use this app alot and it does wonders.
Hope it helps.
Inviato dal mio GT-I9300 con Tapatalk 2
sorry for bumping this but this issue is starting to annoy me. Since my last "Low on space" notification came on, i deleted a few games and that cleared the notification. ever since I have not installed any memory hogging apps then out of no where i get the "low on space" notification again, so i just left it and a couple of days the notification went away. it's happened a few times. Now the notification came back and my phone is acting up. I can not open Gallery, I can not receive SMS because it says no space. Viber force closes....arrrgh it's pissing me off. Not cool because i use this phone for work. I know for a fact that my internal memory should have free space because before the notifications i had 8-9gb of free memory. any suggestions or fixes?
i have had the same problem of missing disk space and used "Storage Analyser"
by LeveloKment, with root permissions it found what DiskUsage,Memory Map & DiskView could not find and that was thousands of logs located in system\data\log i deleted those logs and everything was fixed
this app gave the correct path size unlike the rest that i mentioned i hope that helped

thanks. but i've tried installing those apps and my phone tells me "insufficient memory". i've deleted a few files, which free'd up 125mb of space and still won't allow me to install those apps. Anyways, i checked system/data/log and i have a few files in there but not sure which to delete.

i deleted more files and was able to install Storage Analyzer. It showed a hidden folder containing a lot of thumbnail pictures, so i deleted that folder. In the app it shows i now have 8.48gb but in system settings under storage it says i have 192mb free and i still have the Low Memory notification. 8.48gb is about right because i took the time to look at all the folders on my internal memory.
since i dont know what steps you took i will need you to do the following in order to get more info
i will assume you are rooted:
1. tap on the 3 dots [top right corner]
2. tap on preferences
3. tap on expert options
and the check both boxes [important!!!]
4. tap on the bottom left icon
5. tap on data, let it finish, take a screenshot
6. tap on system let it finish take a screenshot
7. tap on storage/sdcard0 let it finish take a screenshot
8. also take a screenshot of settings>storage
post the screenshots here
to take screenshots hold home+lock buttons

For a quick and pain free method, just factory reset the phone, and run it on a stock firmware if you use a custom firmware.

i've tried all solutions i can think of including restarting, clearing cache and dalvik, switching from wifi to data and vice versa. but its still showing the same message. i even removed my google account and try adding it back but the same message show, so now my phone don't have a google account connected to it, it's like totally being denied from google's services
What about trying a different account (I don't see it listed)? Or just call them

BTW this phone have been with me since last year, everything is going fine. i only have this problem from last week, not sure what messed up
the starting problem is a NO CONNECTION error to the playstore., so i tried solving it by clearing cache from playstore, force stopping it, and even reinstalling it but still the same. so in the end i tried removing my google account and adding it back.....and here comes this problem
Settings/more settings/networks/apn.......check them against your provider settings......you can get those online or phone provider, alternatively contact Google, it might be their problem

i've checked my APN as well, nothing is wrong there. infact if the APN is the culprit i wouldn't be able to connect if im running on mobile network only, but now even on wifi i'm not able to connect
I would contact Google, might just be a glitch on your account?

Remix OS for PC does NOT download any unwanted apps by itself, without your request.
At first boot, if you have internet connection, it will show a screen with recommended apps - by default it has few of them pre-selected. If you don't untick them and continue with the process, then the apps will be downloaded in the background.
I'm pretty sure that's the case in your situation, since you said you haven't added Google account yet.
Remix OS only shows app ads in the app drawer, but doesn't install anything you didn't request it to install.
You froze Download and Download Manager apps. These are system apps which are required for normal system use while utilizing internet access.
I highly recommend to unfreeze them or you won't be able to download anything with browsers or other apps.

Well, i know. But that the only thing i can save my data plan now and that's why i ask. :crying:
And i totally forgot what in the first boot. All i can remember is a welcome and tutorial, i think. Also, i found in Settings that my wifi can set as metered connection. But the os immediately restart by itself. Also on data cellular settings. Thank you.
Get a Firewall app and block internet access for AppDrawer.apk
Thanks all for the help. I don't know how that happen in the first i installed RemixOS for the firs time on my computer and i just reinstall twice problem solved. Now my problem is brightness dead after remix os logo, cheers ?
Apologies guys as this may be a very small problem with very small solution but somehow I spent over an hour trying to make it work but I couldn't. This phone is on stock MiUi and even the bootloader is not unlocked. Elaboration:
1. Before update dialer functioned okay, I had restricted maybe one or two permissions like Location but still it worked.
2. After Update I got to know google had my location history 'on' so being a privacy freak I turned it 'off' (I know they can still get the location, but atleast not where I was 6months ago now).
3. I didn't find any other issue post update but I hadn't tried to open dialer yet;
When I tried it said required permission has been not allowed and it just wouldn't open. Sms app worked fine, contacts and dialer didn't.
4. Them I tried giving the 'contacts & dialer' app all the permissions it required via the settings ->apps-> Contacts & dialers -> permissions, including the location which is I haven't allowed on my other Poco F1(yes I have 3 at home, all purchased before COVID time) and the same update was already on that phone and it works fine.
For now I have a third party dialer app installed which does the work, it would be very helpful if someone could help me getting the original dialer to work. And yes I know Mi sucks with things like this and bloatware I might install Lineage or something in months to come but this belongs to my father he might not want his phone to be unable to operate banking apps and wallets so on hold for now.
Thanks already guys.
Not sure but try to clear all data of the "contacts and dialer" app first (Settings -> apps -> manage apps -> contacts and dialer).
If it doesn't work then I suggest you re-download the latest update and install it again. (Settings -> about phone -> system update -> the three dots menu -> download latest package).

Go to "menage apps" -> "phone services" and force stop it. Then Open "storage" and clear the data.. Then do the same in "call manager" (i think thats the name in inglish). The 2 apps haver a phone sÃmbolo. Then restart you Poco F1. Turn it completly off and turn ir on again.
Worked with me..
You have disabled a required permission. Tried what both of you suggested above except for reinstalling the update. Not resolved

Didn't work, but I'm a little sceptical about download latest package and installing, never done it before so. I tried the other solution you have but didn't solve the problem.

First of all downloading the latest package is just the same as installing a normal update, no difference at all.
Second, I think to avoid all this hassle; you might need to do factory default/factory reset.. But of course before doing that you have to write down all your accounts login data (especially Mi account and Google account) and also backing up your personal data (photos, docs, music, videos downloads,...etc.) as it will be deleted when you do this factory reset.. But this will eventually solve all these problems.

I was hoping to avoid Factory Reset, and all the efforts and time associated with doing it but I'm being sure by the days that pass, of there being no other alternative for me. I'm so fed up of Xiaomi after this. Once a stable Lineage or PE comes after MiUi 12 upgrade I'll lose no time to this. Also out of 4 phones in my home 3 are Poco F1 and the last one was Lenovo zuk till Feb and Vivo since, but non Mi phone doesn't get as many ads on YT and Instagram (virtually none on insta when I get one ad every 10-15posts, despite of having not allowed similar permission to Mi during setting up of my phone).
So I spent good time backing up and reloading after factory reset. The problem is solved costing me alot of time and effort for backup and stuff.
So basically problem solved by a factory reset.
