Hi, I'm just wondering why os services is draining my data so much (I know that mb of data is nothing but this thing is annoying)? I'm using Droidwall which allows network connection only for GG (national communicator) and Opera.

Think that os services includes things like sync so it will use a bit of data, its not 'stealing' it.
Well, they do send some info. The kernel and os send marketing info to millenialmedia's IP for target adds and several other IP (check Droidwall's Log and enjoy a paranoid experience tracking the Ips with google)

yes it does.. if you dont want this to happen.
swtich off the auto sync.. and use pdroid patch and remove network access to the apps that you do not want to access your internet

Other them Display brightness, Thumb Keyboard, Google Services and Gallery, why are the others running? I imagine that secphone and Samsung Push Service are required to make the phone work and have my mail pushed. Gps Navigator shows restarting all the time until I turn in on then goes in process. What of those should be frozed as I dont use them at leased for now unless other app are using them.
Those are system apps which are meant to be run by default. If you close most of them, your phone might not function properly like lets say when you get an email or a message, the notification will not be shown if they are force stopped.
Yes, I agree, some apps like Samsung Apps, Maps...etc keep running when you hardly use them.
If its still a pain for u to have these apps running, Use Root Explorer to freeze/Uninstall those apps or just add ".bak" extension to the apk incase if you will ever need these apps.

Hey guys,
Last month I got pretty close to my shared data cap so this month I'm trying to be a bit more frugal. According to my data usage logs though, in the last few days my "android system" has used a LOT of data. Anyone have any idea what could be doing it? 200MB all in the background. I decided to block the system from data access via a firewall change (WiFi only) and see if that stops it.

That won't help considering data charges only apply for when you're not on wifi. Could of been that you updated a large app or several while not being on wifi.

Then it would show the play store using a lot of data I don't think it's apps. I think it's a system app continuously trying to connect to something.

Recently replaced my phone through Sprints insurance program. The new one came back with more bloatware than ever. Specifically an app called Optimize and Protect. Lookout as well, but have already frozen and removed Lookout. My question is what is Optimize and Protect and is it safe to freeze and remove as well? Runs in the background and uses data, cannot be greenifyed. Background data can be restricted but would rather just remove. I cannot find any info on google or XDA regarding this application and all results refer to Sprints protection plan. SS's will be provided.

I have that on my phone as well. I think these were two seperate apps before or built into the os. Anyways the protect has something to do with unsecured wifi networks. I know i get a warning which u can turn off from poping up. the optimize caches websites that you use a lot and therefore is suppose to reduce the amount of data you use. Not sure if you can remove it or if it is safe to but i just turned the features off and left it on my phone.
So, I purchased this neat dash cam/backup cam/GPS Android-powered rear view mirror from eBay and received it today. I've been playing around with it a bit and I'm curious first off, if anyone on XDA happens to have it. I'm curious if anything has been done to it yet.
I have an issue signing into an account with it, Google Account Manager crashes when I try creating a new account and it doesn't connect to the server when I try logging into an existing account. I tried all the normal fixes (clear cache, etc) with no success. I have internet access though because I'm able to use browser and navigation. Also, the speech is super annoying. It's in "English" but it's a super strong Chinese accent and I can't change it or download any other voice options.
If anyone is curious for more information on it, let me know and I'll provide what I can. I want to toy around with it a bit and I'm hoping someone has already done so. I also need to fix the issues I'm having and I'm not sure where to begin. I've been out of the development game since GS3.

Hello,
Anyone knows an app alternative to Tasks 1.3.4? I am still using it but developers stopped updating it.

The best tasks app that ever was, I'm starting to have issues, Google is blocking on one phone and I can't add new lists on others. Veg disappointing
@HenryHvPa What do you not like about Google Tasks?
I like the ability to quickly enter, indent, move multiple items too other lists, without entering dates or any other extra data
The kiss principle..keep it simple

Google made some changes how apps access Google Account. I remember going to security tab and creating new password for every app separately. Did you try it? I don't remember why I didn't continue with it.
