A common question I assume, but no good answers showed up on a quick search, everything was ad-hack, not really practical.
Since I got my SIII I've seen a large rise is the amount of data I'm using, also all of which is listed as Android OS and if I drill down it is all background. Is there a way to easily track down what is using so much background data? In my case the top app is Play with 51mb, but the Android OS background is at 2.8GB in 10 days, which is insane. Thus I'm looking for some way to break down what is using all of this data.
Thanks,
ERIC
settings/data usage shows a breakdown, or there are several apps on the market. Might be a Samsung account backing up data or Google, or drop box, piccassa web album, all these could use a fair bit, make sure they only synch on Wi-Fi, or ditch them, even better
My problem is that the it only shows up as Android OS and then if I select it as background data (none is foreground), all of that does not help as I still do not know the cause, I have setup blocks in Droidwall so that many Apps can only run on Wifi and according to the per app break down that's all fine (none exceed 50 or so megs) the problem is with background data usage by Android. I do have Kaspersky install, so I do not think it is coming from Malware, but .... starting to wonder if maybe a reinstall is in order, that's such a pain.
Current breakdown (1 day all in K unless stated otherwise):
Android OS: 238megs
Google Play Store: 1.48megs
Email: 774
GoogelServices: 152
Gmail: 133
Maps: 124
Google+ 80
Go Weather ex 70
...
so basically no app is using anything yet I've used 238megs.
Maybe it is a Google backup then, do you use that?
Thanks will try that (just disabled google sync),
I've tracked down it is a matter of large uploads normally 30 to 250 megs that occur in the over night hours (between 1Am and 6AM), but do not know the cause will see if that is it. Also odd that as the phone is connected to a Wifi connection during those hours, so it should not use any mobile data, also as if it is using mobile data when it should be using wifi, will see if I can verify whether this is the case or not tonight. I have 3g watchdog installed now so I can see if the traffic is wifi or cell.

Yep that was the problem, moving massive amounts of data and not using the Wifi connection, turned it off and poof all gone.
ERIC
Sorry to bring this back from the dead but what did you disable exactly?
I think disabling the google backup would help, coz enabling it makes app data back up to google servers. If there's an app with a lot of app data, it can eat up your data bandwidth.

Hi,
I am using KITKAT ported by Legacy Xperia. Me too facing same problem. From starting, I have not enabled data backup. Still, for 10 days, Android OS consumed 9.5MB data. Look high side for me as I have only 500MB data / month.
Kindly let me know the solution.

I faced the same problem, issue was somewhat with auto backup of data, sync of app data & people details in google account,
BUT the main culprit in my case was uTorrent application.
Even though there was no torrent added to it, i didn't even opened it,
it was using 1GB data daily on WiFi and in data usage it was coming under Android OS usage. I uninstalled it, everything went back to normal.
So try to look for such apps which eat up your data in background, it may not be an error of android OS as such.
Hope this helps, Press THANKS if it did help you
Enjoy
Hi Guys!
Amazingly, I found out yesterday that Google stores our historic location. I'm thinking of disabling it, but afraid to worsen research services and access speed of Google Maps. Let me know if anyone knows this history consists of access to the GPS of the device or the networks? Consumes more battery when enabled?

You leave enabled or not?

I won't cause you battery consumption too much ( it used to be ) but with the new Google Play Service, it consume battery very low and it's really good if you leave it on.
1. It help you if you get picture and have G+ to make a Story for you.
2. It help you for your favorite location and trip time and traffic time to there.
And lots of other thing that I don't remember now.

It's strange to think how he draws our daily route without consuming battery! So I think he does this with the help of cellular networks! If the device used the GPS, we would have a huge battery drain!

Particularly I not use Google Now, much less G +, believe not be advantageous to have this option enabled! I mean, it would not matter to me!
I saw on Google's help page that it uses a considerable amount of data, which can be harmful to the battery!
I disabled both functions and deletes my history. My big fear was disable this function and impair functioning of any device, such as speed of access Maps, which tested it and did not notice any difference!
I believe that this function would be for Google to know what my daily route and enter it into the database of Google Now.

I leave this option always on! It's helps several services and apps.
Experience tells me that when this location is ON together with Google Now then it is a battery killer!!! Google now is always looking for information to show on the cards in the background and uses fairly more battery.
But of course it can be cool when Google Now tells you witch buses you can catch and how long can you be at home...

I have a problem using my apps because of the ads,they appear fullscreen on every 3 seconds,so its imposible to use my apps.i have tried a lot of apps that block advertisments, but they were useless.all of the apps are downloaded from google playstore.solution?
check your apps, fake ones act like this
There are some apps which produce ads on our mobile for that they earn money for displaying it and earn more when clicking it.
Try adblock plus which is totally free and it's not available in Playstore so you need to download it directly from your browser.
It might work :good:

Is this happen on every app on your smartphone, even the native ones? This sounds like a virus/exploit.... if your smartphone is rooted you should try to get an antivirus-app and try to use it.. or if nothing works you have to reinstall your OS

You have obviously installed crappy apps that use ads from adbuddiz, admob... We can find a lot of them on Google Play (one of the reason why F-Droid is a good alternative).
Either uninstall everything but trusted apps (then reboot) or root your device and update your hosts file with good sources (AdAway's ones for instance). If it doesn't work, you will probaly have to start from scratch.
Hello everybody, I have recently bought my new Xiaomi Mi A1 and I have got a serious problem. Mi A1 is an Android One phone - has stock android. Currently I'm running on version 8.0 Oreo. My operator gave me 100 MB of free mobile data, yes, you heard right, only 100 MB. When I turn on my mobile data, Google Play Services eats a lot of them... I've reduced mobile data in the background for GP Services, but that didn't help, I've also disabled automatic updates on Google Play and disabled sync and disabled location with backups - none of these helped. Is there any way to reduce the usage of the mobile data? I really have small amount of them and only thing I use is Messenger, but these Google Play Services keep eating them a lot... Thank you.
PS: If I click on details of Google Play Services' mobile data usage, it shows that most of the data used "Misc"...

Do you think that those VPN apps can solve this? Can they reduce mobile data usage of system apps?

Well, I am not sure but maybe yes. Messenger app from Facebook is somehow connected to Google Play Services - when I started using Messenger Lite, the problem disappeared. After using Messenger Lite, Google Play Services stopped using my mobile data. Not completly, but it uses waaaaay less data than with standard Messenger app.

The problem is that many apps use google play services components for their function. Any data consumed this way is accounted to play services. You can see some breakdown when you inspect it, but it's not complete.
If you restrict background play services data, some things will not work (hangouts)
only way to really save data is uninstall apps which "might" use them, or disable data when you don't need it.
I can live through a month with 300 mb, if I don't do anything.
Which country do you live in?
Have the same problem - in spite of being on WiFi almost all day, and rin Google Services disabling "allow background data usage", and having data saver on it eats a whopping 700 MB of mobile data in just a couple of weeks. Every month apparently since it's overrun my 1 GB data limit since the beginning of the year. That is with no updates, and no Google play store activity. All of my other apps combined including email and browsing use only 100 MB of data - and that is in a whole month - and on WiFi only as I would expect given my phone settings. Only way I could stop the data hemmorage was to disable mobile data altogether and disable Google Play Services. So now Google Play Service complains at random times day or night that there is a server error - in spite of the fact that I forced a stop and disabled it. It acts more like malware than a useful app. Anyone find a solution?
This is a very strange bug. I was updating PUBG and cleared the recent apps before going to bed only to wake up in the morning and see it not completed. I tried multiple times but the same happened. So I can conclude that the download manager gets "EXITED/STOPPED" by clearing play store from the recent apps. This shouldn't happen as download manager is an integral part of the android system and it's functioning shouldn't have anything to do with exiting the store.
Is anyone else having this problem. Kindly comment below.

I don't think you get my query. This is what happens:-
1. I update/download an app on the Play Store
2. I clear recent apps including the play Store
3. This freezes/ stops the update/ download.
So I guess that clearing the store from the recent apps also somehow closes the download manager. This shouldn't happen.
That's the problem I faced too none of aps including play store run in the background.If recent tabs is cleared the apps stops working

STOP CLOSING APPS.
You are destroying your performance and battery life by doing this. ONLY close apps if they're malfunctioning. It does NOT make your phone faster to clear apps.

That's exactly what it does, actually. It doesn't just "hide" then - it calls onDestroy (sometimes, it's not guaranteed) and disposes the activity, so next time you run it it has to be recreated from scratch again.
But yes, you are at least correct in that it shouldn't terminate any associated services. Maybe that's an MIUI "feature" of closing the apps.
But my point still stands - you shouldn't close recent apps unless necessary. Any Google result will tell you this, it's mainstream knowledge these days.
If you can't help yourself, see a doctor for OCD treatment. It's a 6GB device for God's sake, you will open 100 apps and still not run out of RAM. No it will not make PUBG FPS better. No it will not make your device switch apps faster. It does ONLY harm.

Damn!! People clearing their recent apps have OCD. Really ? I've been using android phones for years. My previous phones had 365 apps installed in it and I had to use almost 50 to 70 or more of them daily. The thing is most if not all android apps have background services and these services do NOT get stopped even if you clear recent apps while other apps just get cached to the RAM and they too don't stop by recent apps clearing. And then there are wakelocks and GCM which are the reasons for apps giving you notifications and things like that. I can go on but I think you get the point by now.
I clear apps because I just like to see a clean UI. I know that these apps don't just get stopped by this. If I really wanted to stop an app I'd do it for saving battery and NOT for saving RAM and I'd use advanced apps like greenify and wakelock detectors for this because clearing apps won't stop these apps. Some apps just prevent the device from going to deep sleep and this is the reason for overnight discharge on most phones.
Peace.

I think the problem is with big apps. Whenever I install a small size app maybe upto 100 MB, it gets installed without any problems but whenever I tried to install/update a large app like PUBG, it never gets completed giving errors like error 495. Today it stopped at almost 1.05 GB. I'll check and see if I can find a fix.

But this shouldn't happen on stock Android though.. Even on iOS swiping out apps from recents doesn't mean the user wants to force stop it. Xiaomi designing it's skin to do this is really counterintuitive. Because of this we are having all sorts of problem like this and messaging apps not receiving notifications in the background.

After a few days of use, I don't think that is the case. I tried multiple downloads/ updates from the store and cleared recent apps but they continued without any freezes or stops. The problem appears when I install/ update a large sized app like PUBG. It'll go on for sometime and then just freeze and return an error. Last night it stopped at almost 1gb+ with an error code 495.

There is MIUI Optimization in Developer settings but i don't think it helps disabling it in this case.(it helps a little bit on scrolling performance BUT after 3-4 days it becomes slow again for me..I think MIUI's Touch response & Scroll performance is very bad compared to Stock/Neuxs 5... Correct me if it's only for me)
MIUI has very weird ram management which literally kills the apps & all the services when you clear it from recent and there's no way to stop this on MIUI from my past 2 weeks of experience and research
