[Q] Q Why did my "Android OS" use 2.8GB data ? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a Motorola Razr i with android 4.1.2 and today I got an email telling me that I only had 1.3 GB left of my monthly data plan!! I thought WHAT (I have a monthly 5.5 GB data plan)
So I investigated, this Monday Android OS used 2.8 GB!! (Background)
I have had everything turned on since I got the phone, and all the other months I have had this phone there have been an average data usage of around 130MB per month coming from Android OS!! but on this one day it used 2.8 GB ??
The 130MB per month is evenly divide between my Wi-Fi and my data plan but unfortunately I was not in range of a Wi-Fi network when my phone decided to go crazy
So what happened this Monday the 2 September 2013?? That made my Android OS use 2.8GB of data ??
Hope you can help me
Thanks
Regards Jakob

check if you have update pending , OTA. OR else check Google Play, may be it has eaten up the data to update apps.

[Q] Galaxy S2 Update to 2.3.4 on a Bell Mobile Phone

Has any one tried to Update to AOS 2.3.4 on a "Non-rooted" Bell Mobile Phone?
Or can it be done after it is rooted?
I just got one and it dose suck the battery down fast... Hopping this will help. Because I heard that 2.3.3 has a battery drain problem, and also doesn't have Google Video Talk.
I have a feeling it will be a long time before we see a Bell supported update seeing as I don't think they will like the added Google Talk App seeing as they have a "pay $5 a month for unlimited video chat" feature, and will want people to pay for that...
If by update you mean installing one of the 2.3.4 roms from the dev section then all you need to flash a kernel with cwm, then go into recovery and install the rom.
Thanks for reply. I assume your answer requires the phone to be rooted? Witch was my second question. First I would like to see if it can be done with out rooting...
there is no official 2.3.4 out yet just leaks. So yes you have to be rooted.
Thanks, looks like I'll have to wait till there is a good root walk though for bell mobil phones to come out before i get started.
Thanks again.

The walk through posted above is quite easy. Literally had myself rooted and running in under 15 minutes after purchasing the phone, and getting back to my office.
What AOS did you end up using? Our can you keep using the same one, only with root? and if you can keep the same AOS, can you update it to 2.3.4 now?
I too am interested in a working 2.3.4 for a rooted bell SGS2. I've read somewhere that a guy did it but lost 3g conectivity
Currently running Cognition 1.31, just flashed the CWM/root using Odin... then nandroid backed up the Original OS (with root, we're stuck until a proper version of the original is released) wiped it, and installed via zip... no fuss, no muss, no loss of radio... However, stock, or updated kernel/radio... my HTC Sensation gets double the speed on the network... I usually hover arough 6-7Mbps on the sensation, and I've yet to break 4Mbps on the Galaxy
Actually, the two of you can help me lol
I did things so fast I didnt write anything down
can you go into the dialer, and type *#1234# and give me the numbers?

You don't need root, you go into download mode, flash the kernel then go directly into recovery mode and install the zip file. All roms from the dev section are rooted.

Would that 2.3.4 work after I rooted CF-Root-SGS2_JP_XSG_KG2-v4.1-CWM4?
Has your battery life gotten any better?
The battery life on this phone i crap! I got a my wife an iphone 4 at the same time i got this and she plays games on it for hours and only uses like 10% of her battery. If i did that it would use at least 50% of my battery 2.3.3 needs to go!
Yeah the battery life could be better. I downloaded these widgets for wifi on/off autosync on/off 3g on/off and they help quite a bit when I'm at work and I don't have time for facebook chat and all that nonsence. Besides the wifi at my work is garbage so the phone breaks a sweat connecting and reconnecting for 8 hours =/
My phone's been on for 11 hours and i'm at 85% battery after sending like 12 texts checking facebook 2 or 3 times and 2 phone calls. Those widgets really help. Autosync and wifi really drain this thing.
I just bought a Bell S2 (had a Euro version before) and I have noticed that the following apps are big culprits in battery drainage.
If you are rooted, install Titanium back up and do the following
Wifi Sharing (freeze this app using Titanium)
Wifi Sharing Manager (freeze this app)
Social Hub, there are two processes (freeze both)
IMEI Tracker (freeze)
GPS Navigation from Bell (uninstall using Titanium)
I'll report back. When I did this for my Euro version it gained me about 5 hours of battery life.

there is no battery problem it depends on ur usage.
turn off samsung apps under settings
turn off fast dormancy *#9900#
freeze wifi sharing apps via titanium backup
under power saving menu choose to go into powersaving mode when battery reaches 50%
in ur email accounts choose to sync manually. in social hub, when u click on an account it it will sync
in gmail account choose to only sync priority inbox
only use Automatic brightness when u r outside. inside the house keep it to minimum
if u dont use wifi turn it off
turn off gps
turn off bluetooth
dont use too many widges ( i only have circle battery and active applications widget running in my launcher.
if u do all above u will get 2 days of normal usage,
If I need to turn off a bunch of things or gimp my phone to get a longer battery life then why did I buy this High end phone again? My wife (and be because I don't want to know) knows nothing about her iPhone all we know is the battery lasts about 3x longer them my phone and we bought them at the same time and the Iphone is like a year+ older... That to me means there is a bug or Samsung messed up. I'm going to go with a bug...
You think they would ever release a car that is the same class with better radio and gadgets it in but it takes x3 more gas then the other brands car from a year ago... NO.
With all that said I have had my phone over a week now and it seems my batter is lasting longer, Quite longer..

data usage

anybody else notice an increase in their data usage when on a jb rom?
i have a 2gb data plan and when i'm on an ics rom (currently padawan 5 or 9),
i don't come near to using the 2gb monthly limit.
when i switch to any jb rom, i get a message from at&t warning me i'm at 65%
usage after the first two weeks of the month.
yes, i've checked the synch setting and i don't do anything differently between either rom.
weird.

Under settings the third item is "data". It tells you what's using data and how much it's using. If you're on a strict data diet I HIGHLY recommend checking it often. You can even set limits and usage warnings. I have unlimited and thank God because I use at least 1 gig a week. I'm constantly streaming music. I noticed that "Google now" and "maps" is sucking up more data than it use too.

I was wondering if it was a security update, but I believe that's currently exclusive to Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

Connect to your local WiFi and try again
The updates is to do with the ui-google cards. Nothing to do with security issues.
Nothing for me yet even on WiFi new google cards sounds more interesting than security updates then
I just installed the update and immediately noticed there's now a toast that will pop up when you charge the watch or take it off the charger. It could just be me but I don't remember that being there before.

Getting the update now. I noticed the Stock Exchange Card has been updated the other day (prior to the update).
Damn I was hoping for Marshmallow though. I can't wait to enable this speaker

Weird, I could have sworn I'd never seen them before. Maybe I was experiencing some sort of bug fixed by the update.
http://phandroid.com/2015/12/03/google-now-update-android-wear/
Finally got the update as well but seems I don't see improvement with the bluetooth range at all not sure if I should return it
So nothing new... lets hope 1.4 marshmallow will come soon...
Is it possible that the update fixed some battery drain issues? Its been rather amazing. Charged to 90% yesterday 8am. Heavy notification use, ambient mode, gestures on, navigation to home and ran 6 miles using two tracking apps and pandora. 45% at 12 hours later. I was at 65% before the run but kept the screen on while jogging so i could read my progress. Loving it. Cant wait for custom roms!

With this update Google news is included in system pre-installed apps
The new march build has fixed the truncated text on the notification panel when you have selected the small text option.
Will update posts with more findings.
Update - Phone is way more snappier now and the battery drain has been comparitively lower than the feb patch.
Update 2 - Some People say the bootloader unlock(Enable OEM unlocking)option is now available for them. I still have it greyed out
Update 3 - Wow. Yesterday night after playing PUBG for sometime, I had 24% battery left. I left the phone as it was and came today morning to see only 1% battery drain?
This latest update has definitely improved the battery and made the more snappy and responsive. Also, The phone does not heat as much when charging.
Still no update. Any help?

Its actually much better for me now. Yesterday i had to travel for 4 hours and i left the phone a 28% when the trip started and when i reached, i had 27%.
Try clearing your cache data.
Is there any improvement in the inbuilt camera app after march update bcoz i couldn't see any, still it is the same crappy app, and please suggest a google camera app link which works the best.
Still no update in Spain (TA-1103). It's weird because all previous SP and MR have arrived via OTA when they were deployed.
Is there any other way to force update? I tried with VPN trick but it was unsuccessfully :crying:

This is my battery percentage and corresponding screen-on time under normal usage which includes basic tasks like using WhatsApp, browsing chrome and listening to Spotify.
Before the March update, my battery percentage used to be around 75%-78% after this musch of screen-on time, after the update I'm seeing a significant difference.
I can't be the only one and what exactly i can do to solve this?
Nothing in italy i try with change vpn... Nothing

Question Did anyone get the January Play system update yet

While we are still waiting for our Android update, I was wondering if anyone got their Play system update yet. It seems like we are the last to get any updates.
Among other things, it is supposed to include:
Updates to system management services that improve device connectivity, network usage, stability, security and updatability. [1]
What's new in Google System Updates - Product Documentation Help
Google System updates make your Android devices more secure and reliable and give you new and useful features. They include updates from Google to the Android operating system, Google Play Store, and
support.google.com
No, got December play update yesterday.
Same here, just got December 1 update yesterday.
Same for me. Saw play update one or two days ago and thought that it is the january one but it was the december one instead.
No, I didn't get any Jan update but got the new Dec update.
I just got the January 1 update (forced it). I haven't used it enough to notice any differences.
I got January Play system update as well.
I got a 52 MB Play System Update this morning, restarted like it said ... and am STILL on December update. That's the 2nd time Google has done that to me this month (last time a week or so ago with an update of just over 200 kb), idk wtf they're doing

If it makes you feel any better I just got the January update like 2 or 3 days ago checking randomly. Will say battery slightly improved on my end. Mainly because mobile network no longer drains an average of 30%+ but now averages around to 24~26% on ATT. Still bad but it used to be 35%~40% so.. at least it's improving

Well I DID get some 52 MB or so Play System Update last week but it still says December, and I had a much smaller one the week before that also didn't change the month/date. At this point I'm fully convinced that Google is mocking me and doing this on purpose

There was a long-ish list posted a few weeks ago about what the Play System Update would fix. At this point and with this device we can sure use all the updates/fixes we can get ... and besides: Pixels are supposed to get updates early so still not having the January Play System Updates on the 28th is pretty lame of Google.

Oh I get it. So none of these things are available yet then? Looking thru them not many, perhaps 1, are important to me and that's the connectivity line. Otherwise it seems like a list of things that don't really affect me. I'll post in the carrier services thread but I did get the 90 version today and I came out of a place today that used to take a reboot to regain network. Today it connected immediately so we're getting there. Also overnight I got 100 good signal whereas I was averaging 20% previously.
Anyway, I'm sure this update will come around the time of our next monthly.
