Download one of the many many data use apps from the play store and see what app is doing it!
For example (never used one, so not recommending):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wxLDEsImNvbS5kYXRhdXNhZ2VkZWZlbmRlci5mcmVlIl0.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...SwxLDEwOSwiY29tLm1vYmlkaWEuYW5kcm9pZC5tZG0iXQ..

Oh, this can be affected by many different things.
Such as your wifi / WLAN connection strength, your internet speed, other apps installed on your phone (which slow down internet speed for social networking apps), the time (when many people are online and connected to a special social platform - the more people use facebook, the longer are response times of their servers), etc..
So, check your apps, check internet speed in general (with speed test apps and/or speed test web sites), test different times (morning, during the day, evening, night) and try to connect from different locations/internet connections.
Maybe that will lead you to the cause of your problem.
Good luck !

[Q] Reckless Getaway will only download over mobile network (?!)

Hi! I bought these two amazing games (racing & getaway) over the market 10 billion offers for 10cents, but I'm having problems installing them: Neither of them will download the data files!
I thought maybe it was the polarbit servers were being hammered by the downloads, but it's been 3 days and I'm still unable to even start the download. So I attempted using my mobile network. Which is something most of you would have attempted already. But in my case...my network is limited to EDGE/GPRS connection. Which means the fastest speed I can get is around 90~100kbps on the good days. Just to make it clear, that is somewhat 11KB/s. VERY slow.
So today I tried this network to see how that worked. And it works! Its just, that at this pace, I might need a whole uninterrupted week to download the data files, and I'm afraid as soon as for some reason the download stops (changing window, for example?), I will have to restart it.
So...Do you know of any possible reason for the game to ONLY download under the mobile network? I'm using my home WIFI, and as far as I know there shouldn't be any problem.
Thank you!

Do you get some error saying that? Doesn't make any sense, i downloaded it just fine over wifi.
Yeah I know it sounds weird. Now I've left the game downloading for half hour on my super slow connection, but I think the red progress bar didn't even reach 5%.
Also, today when I attempt to download over wifi, after somewhat 30 seconds or one minute, I get an error message "Download Failed, please verify you have a working wifi connection", or something like that. Wifi works perfectly for anything else, and as far as I know, there's no kind of cap or limit.

Wifi slow with Play store

Hi guys,
no one has noticed a very slow download speed from Play Store? Before SGS3 i had a HTC ONE X and my download speed it was about 1 Mbytes/sec, now it is 70-80 Kbyte/sec.
My wan is always the same and i haven't change nothing.
Only after my first start of SGS3 (for the synchronization with gmail) the speed seemed like the HTC.
Anyone has some ideas?
Thanks

this is really weird, but i just started experiencing this issue too. my wifi speeds are fine, i downloaded some large applications via my desktop pc and speeds were normal. i even put my phone on mobile data (4g lte) and speeds are also normal. but when on wifi, it is terribly slow.
Tried turning Wifi Power Save off?
*#0011# in dialer (works on Samsung-based roms) -> menu button -> wifi
I tried turning it off. But I dont see a lot of improvement. Using dropsync my SGS2 pulls in around 600KBs over Wifi while my SGS3 only manages around 2-300 tops

Question about Supernexus 2.0 i9300 Milestone1

Hi,
On friday I installed this rom,i did all wipes etc . All was OK and now it works fine ... but i have a question.
On Settings / Data Network Usage , i have a big data statistic.
If you can see on attached Image it says i have downloaded 1GB in 3 days!
800MB Using Google Play .. (i haven´t done any App Update using my 3G network)
It says i have 500MB using Twitter!! (I am not a Twitter addict!)
304MB using Facebook ..
Could this be a bug on data network counter? I check my data traffic on my 3G carrier webpage and "aparently" i haven´t download 1GB of traffic.
Thanks
I'd say after you made all the necessary wipes , you've signed in to your google account which restored automatically all of your apps from the play store and that's the source.
cheers.

yes. as already mentioned, some or almost all custom roms download apps from your play account automatically after your first login. facebook and twitter might be syncing everything all the time. so you better restrict data usage. good luck.
First of all thanks sriram231092 and eytan123 for your answers.
As i said I didn´t do any update over 3G or any restore Backup over 3G ... All backup restored were made over Wifi
When i flashed the rom and i logon for the first time ... i was connected to a wifi just to download all my apps etc etc
I have flashed different roms other times and never seen this and thats the reason that i am surprised with this issue.
Thanks a lot.

well that even shows data through wifi i think! anyhow when you click on the app like seen in the image , you will get an option to restrict background data. once you check it, you may observe the difference. good luck :good:
I concur^
just a minor addition you may choose whether to show WIFI usage with the menu button.
Check on your carriers website and look at what your 3g usage is if it says you havent used as much as what the phone does then its most likely a bug. And if it does say youve used all that data then it will be what the guys above are saying
Hi Ryanscobberwash
as i write on the first post .. i checked this option (confirm on carriew webpage my data Traffic) and "aparently" is OK .. i haven´t download this traffic
I would like to ask this on Supernexus 2.0 I9300 post .. but i can´t because i have only 2 post written :'(
Thanks!

I have the same issue on a Galaxy S2. I'm pretty sure it's a display bug. I vaguely remember reading this was fixed in some other mod, perhaps CM.

[Q] Excessive data usage (CM 10.1)

Hi, some months ago, I put Cyanogenmod 10.1 on my Galaxy Ace. It wasn´t very fast, but caused no problems and was usable. This morning, I woke up only to find out that my phone used lots of data overnight. I got a text from my carrier saying I'm 2,5 gigs = 100 euro's past my limit. The Android data usage menu states that the Google Play store used 2.23 GB, but auto updating via mobile network is disabled and I only have 7 apps installed.
I know that I can't undo the usage, but I'd like to know what may have caused this excessive data usage.

Does anyone know a reasonable explanation for this?

Yoyr apps might have additional data that needs to be downloaded. Plus google play is a fickle app. It can disobey your commands. I would advise you to turn off your data when not using it. It'll save you battery
