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.

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)

Make sure the box about the limit is unchecked. And, for good measure set the limit to 100gb (high as it would let me go).
As others have said, just set it to the maximum you can. Obviously, that ammount will vary upon device and app used to monitor data usage. With 3g watch dog the limit is 500GB a day, which I clearly couldn't hit, but at least I can monitor what I use without getting warning from the app.

I and some other people on android central have had some strange activity with the battery drain and the internet app since the last official ota. I did a little experiment last night and put my phone into airplane mode after charging it and restarting it. Sure enough, this morning:

I would do a factory reset but my laptop died and I'm away from my desktop. Has anyone else experienced this aberrant internet activity on the stock ROM?
Have you tried disabling the syncing options under your Google account for things like internet to try and see if it changes anything.
You should use an app like better battery stats (available free for XDA users here on the site) or gsam battery monitor to see some more specific information.
Also use one of those apps to see if its using power when it has a data connection. In other words if its using more battery because its constantly trying to sync something while there is no data connection.

So I after a long time saw what apps were consuming data on my phone and its rather disturbing what I saw. This is one month's figures.

Why on earth is talkback using that much data when I dont even have the service enabled??
Next up is nova launcher prime. I did grant it permission to collect data but that much in just a month??
Next up is beautiful widgets, again why on earth does a weather app need to use that much data??
Next up is clean master, I dont even use it that much so how could it be using that much data?
The last one is actually the most shocking one "MultiTouch tester" app because I havent even opened that app in like months.
Is it really normal for apps that gather data to do it that much in a month? Not only does it seem a problem with privacy but also with battery life under wifi. Remember all of these apps have many downloads and great ratings on the play store so its not a case of them being shoddy apps.
What is your opinion on all this?

that one? i only ever really use 3g and want to permanently disable this warning.
looked under the download app - no options, nothing in play store, data under settings etc.
any ideas?
anyone have any thoughts on how to do this?
here is something.. but why am I seeing your screenshot in this one year old thread?
http://xiaomi.eu/community/threads/help-google-play-wifi-warning.17287/
I have a hazy recollection that this is actually delivered from Google play online rather than the app. They used to have it triggered for any app over 10mb, then when 3g became mainstream they upped it. My memory is pretty crap most of the time so this could all have been a dream.

How about you un-check "Download using WiFi only"? Aaand it looks like you've used a screenshot from a MIUI ROM, which isn't a crime, but strange
i found a thread re same issue and that had the screengrab (same thing, wrong rom).
unchecking it works for that 1 time and 1 time only which means every time you update a large app you have to manually do it. it's pointless and a waste of time
there was a fix for the miui rom but doesnt apply to ours (in the downloads app but there's no options for it on our phones)
