I did some research and my Google Backup is turned off. Still, Android OS is eating away at my bandwidth. 23 MB in 7 days is a lot of data. And I dont have a data package plan on my network so that 23 MB is actually costing me a lot of money.
How do I prevent Android OS from using up so much mobile data?
I am on CM 11 Temasek V48. With Googy Maxx kernel.

Its not possible to do that to Android OS.

Doing that restricts background data to all the apps. So, itd probably prevent me from getting my emails and messages. And these messages are the reason I'm using 3G even though I dont get it for free. (I leave it on 2G most of the time, until I decide to browse the web, then I switch it to 3G.)
Find the apps / process that are using data and freeze one by one with Titanium .
Check Mobile tracker first .

The built in data usage too just says "Android OS". I cant really freeze that with titanium backup,
I am gonna try some different data tracker apps and see if they can give me any details.
Whats "Mobile tracker"?

1- Have you tried AFWall+ from the Play Store? It's a free firewall app that can restrict internet usage (wifi and/or cellular) by apps. You can select "All apps" under the WiFi column and enable the firewall. This will prevent any app from using your cellular (3g or gprs) data. Only your selected apps can access 3G/GPRS. You need root for this though.
or
2- You can simply turn off the Data from "Mobile Network" section. This way your phone will only use data if you have a wifi connection.

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

Ive firewalled any app that I dont want using mobile network. (Like games and stuff).
My problem actually resolved on its own. Maybe it was something from the Google side of things. .I don't see that high android OS data usage anymore.
Thanks for the tip anyway.

Has anybody found a way to disable the facebook background services? I don't want it constantly searching for my location and I don't use notifications or the picture upload.
I just check facebook manually from time to time and don't want it hanging out in ram.
Have you tried going into Facebook setting and clicking "never" for refresh interval? Also make sure location is off for messenger services.

Grab the app "rom toolbox pro" from the play store. It's gonna cost a few bucks, but it has a section to disable apps in a function called auto start manager, and will stop a background services at will, but still allows the app to be opened up and used if you want.
I wish titanium backup would do this, but no luck.
There is a free version of rom toolbox pro, but I'm unsure if that will allow the disable feature. it's worth a shot though...good luck..g
Or...you could flash ics and use the built in options...

I don't think the Kill option for ICS will kill the background process. And the issue is even if you kill it, it will auto restart after a while. (I am running the ICS leak rom)
If Rom Tool Box can disable the service then there has got to a command line option to do the same....

Ok, so I found this... You need to open a terminal and then SU first...
pm disable com.facebook.katana/com.facebook.katana.service.UploadManager
This disables the MediaUpload service.
But then I started facebook manually, and closed it and now I had 5 services running. lovely...
Looks like Facebook now wants to track your location too.
So I tried using Facebook through the stock browser and you know what? Its pretty damn close to the App now, without all of the crap running in the background.

Darn, so this is the only way?
The problem is... Facebook isn't the only application that auto restarts. I have a half dozen that do.
How can I prevent these things from restarting?
I think all these background processes result in my very poor battery life on an S2. I get around 10-11 hours with light use.

or if you are using FB only sometimes, you can freeze it in your favorite app and in the case you need it to run just unfreeze it I know it's not the best solution but for your purposes I think is suitable
If you can disable 1 fb background process, then it is also possible to disable them all, right?
I tried using ROM toolbox pro, but facebook automatically starts again
Titanium Backup ??
Freeze those bad boyz........in chuck norris mode....g
Is there really no way?? With MIUI and the "force close" option (long press back button) and blocking the rest with autostarts, the FB APP doesn't start the background service.. Now i'm on CM10.1 and searching too a solution.
Greatz!

Hi all.
I know that there are a lot of similar topics, but I cannot find any solution in them.
I have a i9100 device that keep increasing my data usage.
I noticed about this a couple of weeks ago, and I tried to understand what app keeps downloading/uploading data, discharging my battery very fastly.
I downloaded MyDataManager to "keep an eye" on data usage:

I have also disabled Google Play's autoupdate.
How can I solve that problem?

- No extweaks
- No changed profile
If you need something else, just ask!
Thanks, anyway
did you disable auto sync?
Do you have any apps like yahoo mail or gmail which is set to auto dsownload, these are some of the programs that use data in the background.
I suggest you turn off all apps that use data and then turn them on one at a time and see what they do.

I tried to switch off auto sync, but that continous stream of data keep going on.
There is an app that allows me to keep a specific trace of apps using data?
You might check 3G Watchdog Pro which shows data usage by application.
I use free version, since I don't need details, only totals.
You could also check out droidwall and lbe privacy guard.

You could also check out an app called Traffic Monitor. It can track app's data usage and display wifi and/or 3g.
As far as i understand, some apps cannot simply be monitored as they go through "System"

Even with root?
So I noticed my data arrows were constantly on last night at about 9pm or so. This was right after I got my 50%warning for the data useage. So I investigate and find nothing running that's isn't usually. Bout 15min later I get the 75% warning so I'm like wtf ? Continue to shut everything down in app manager that I can without shutting down the phone. Now its 45min into it I've restarted the phone 3 times to no avail and I get my 90% warning I call Verizon they say switch to WiFi and turn mobile data off. Which is fine but wasn't gonna work the next day when I left my house n had no WiFi no more. Si looked to see what apps I just installed was eBay mobile I force stoped it still no luck figure that's not it . Then I deleted it anyway figured I can just install it again if I gotta and low and behold it stops. I have no idea how it could pull that off but if anyone is having probably with there new update I'd delete it pronto.
Settings->Mobile data should give you an app by app break down of data usage, you can tell from there what is going on. If there is a large difference between what your phone reports and what Verizon reports, then I suspect their accounting system is messing up; not sure how you get them to cop to it though.
Wow thanx bobcat I didn't know our phones had that capability. That's very useful I think me and many others just learned a new trick. And now looking at that I see eBay was not the culprit but intristingly when I deleted it the data usage stopped.
The settings/ mobile data shows Facebook was the bad app using 4.85gb from just Sept 6-7th. And I called Verizon while this was going on the lady I talked to was really good about it and gave me 10 bucks off my next bill incase I go over the limit and if it goes over 2gb I should call her back shell fix that too. Eh better then nothing.
Ok figured out it was Facebook doing it and killing data. But now while on WiFi with Facebook and eBay still deleted it's going crazy again the arrows for WiFi have been lit solid for most of the time I've had it on ? Is there a way to track apps data usage thru WiFi ?

I believe in the same place you view the mobile data usage if you look in settings it has the option to show wi-fi data usage. On most apps I have background data disabled so no apps are using my data without my knowledge and helps with battery too. If no clear answer there, check better battery stats (if you're rooted) and you can see what apps are active or keeping the phone awake.
I've been experiencing unusual data usage too since I've had this phone compared to the sg3. Going to look into what you guys said but someone on G plus mentioned this today too. Something with the g3 I'm assuming?
Ya holy crap anyone who hasn't yet disable that freakin cloud app it used 3.2gb on the WiFi in that bit that I had it on overnight. The big problem with this is I have nothing on there ,never initiated it and further more wouldn't trust my crap in there hands anyway. But ya I went on a disabling spree with all the apps that I could and put them all to not use data in the background unless on WiFi. Lol wish I could kill that too.
One more question when in these settings after I disabled a bunch of stuff I noticed in the mobile data section there is now a part that says (Removed Apps 3.79gb) ? Is this really being used by apps that aren't in there or is it just a representation of disabled apps ?
What's the cloud app
Just says cloud for the app name but it the cloud storage thing they have so you can store files vids pix n such on Verizon's servers and access it from multiple devices.Same idea as all the Stars just had there pix leaked from lol.

That's just showing what was used by one or several apps that you've since removed. Since that is for tracking your data usage on your billing cycle the "removed apps" may go away once the cycle is reset, just there to show what used X.X amount of data. Haven't really noticed yet if "removed apps" goes away, but I would assume so. :good:
I only have a select few apps that sync and don't use any of that cloud nonsense. Maybe if I still had unlimited data I would use it for a few non-sensitive things but it just kills battery and as you noticed hogs your data.
My phone does this crazy dats thing also. Anyone ever watch 1 youtube video and use over 100 mb?

All options to do so are greyed out. It accumulates about 500KiB of storage and network data a day despite the actual app being disabled (and not once ever being launched ) the only thing I can do is clear the storage data.
This really bothers me.

Answer to facebook services on Andriod
I recently upgraded to the Galaxy S6, and wanted to remove any of the bloatware on the device. I disabled the FB app first, since I don't use it on any of my mobile devices. I then came across the com.facebook.appmanager and com.facebook.system applications listed under the application manager on the device. I first stopped and uninstalled the two apps, but I found that they both will update on their own over wi-fi once it's connected. I can't disable the two apps as that option is greyed out. I believe the answer to this is in the permissions of the appmanager stating that it may
1: Download files without notification
2: full network access
3: run at startup
Curiously after I have attempted to kill the app on any occasion that I'm using the device, I received an email from FB stating that they're sorry that I'm having trouble getting into my account. So, in conclusion, the apps must be gathering data (at least all configured email accounts) from the device and sending it to FB. Once FB identifies that an email address on the device matches an email account in their database, it sends the email. Looks like my next step is to root the device.

i tried removing this in my note 4 using titanium backup. sad to say it is making my auto rotate functionality unusable. it took me half day troubleshooting and identifying whats making auto rotate faulty. Why does Samsung loves bloatware? Its making me frustrated as i want to stay on touchwiz but it has so many bloatware. I dont want to go on other roms as majority of them are buggy. Does anybody know any solution with my problem? I dont want any freeze/disable solution pls.....

I've heard about this before in a different thread. It's something to do with a lib that's in the app. Try renaming the apk to bak see if that works, might keep the lib

Just disable it and you are done
Facebook wont self update anymore
And com.facebook.system
Same problem
I tried app called package disabler pro. There i searched for all com.facebook app/processes and disabled them. Now i dont see them any more in my process list in setting. The app costs littlebit but if it doesnt work, you can ask for you money back. It can also disable almost any bloatware.

Hi,
If you're not rooted, just disable it. From my experience, it has something to do with Facebook auto update. I personally doesn't use the Facebook apk itself, I once disable it but it later come back with latest version installed. So you are fine to disable com.facebook.appmanager. However, if you're rooted, better not to uninstall these Facebook related services/apk. Again, from my experience, I might be WRONG, I once uninstall them completely, my air wake up (waking up the phone by hover over your proximity sensor) doesn't work anymore.
Conclusion: you can disable them just fine.
Hello folks. I'm experiencing pretty poor battery life on my T Mobile S6 Edge. The man culprit is Android OS. I didn't even make it to 8 hours today.
I have disabled wifi calling and voice over LTE. I've had the phone for 2 weeks so all the syncing should be done.
T mobile twitter support suggested a factory reset, does anyone think that'll help?
Thank you for the help.

Thanks for your help, Do apps from the play store count as android OS? I thought they would have their own listing.

what u mean by "Do apps from the play store count as android OS"??? also try update the Samsung Push Service released yesterday, that's also fix or improved the battery life, I only turn on some stuff whenever I needed like Wifi, GPS, Bluetooth, NFC...etc that also help my battery last longer.

The largest use of my battery is listed as "Android OS" and I don't think any third party apps from the play store would be included in that.

oh, i got it, the Android OS showing in your battery stats could caused by a lot of things, like sync, wifi, etc.....sorry I cant help you there.
I'm having the same issue on a less drastic scale though. Android OS is consuming 8-10% battery which I'm sure can turn into 1-130 hrs of SoT

Update Samsung push services and Google Play services

I have heard this a few times, how do you update Google services..
also my Samsung push says it was updated on the 15th, I thought there was a newer update? am I wrong?
My biggest drain is the Google play services. I don't even have a lot of apps installed
Do you have the update installed?
I just did the update of Google play services yesterday and the one of Samsung push
a few days ago. Still shows play services at high position, but there is almost no drain in battery for me

yes the update is installed. i have no idea what is making it happen
Anyone figure this out? I'm getting high system and os drain. I use a moto 360 some wondering if that's part of the system drain. I have play services updated and Samsung push service updated.

Android OS isn't sucking up most of my battery for me. However, Google service is for some unknown reason.
Google services is usually down to Google location history & location mode in privacy settings.
Turn location mode to battery saver, and unless you rely on Google Cards for transit information turn off Google Location History
Your google services usage will drop exponentially and you will get better battery life.
This actually applies regardless of android device....
Where is battery saver location mode
Hey everyone. I started this thread with the major issues. I just wanted to let everyone know that I did a factory reset yesterday and I have spectacular results. The battery lasted all day.
