Guys the android OS data usage on mobile data seems to be unusually high..
I have blocked data access for all the apps and whitelisted only a few 4-5 apps.. While play store , play services is disabled too..
Also I keep Google sync off when on mobile data and use it only on Wi-Fi..
And all the photos backup etc everything is turned off
Also one cannot turn off background data on android OS
So why so much usage by Android OS..
What packages are part of it

Does anyone have any idea? I've got similar problem on Xperia Z1 Compact.
I'm also also seeing insane data usage patterns with android OS background. Each month more that 10GB use. 26.5GB this month alone. I've taken out all the bloatware I do not use, and replaced most original apps. All the apps I do use, are clearly listed. My Android 5.0.2 tablet uses more data than my gaming system and workstation combined.

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)

yes it does.. if you dont want this to happen.
swtich off the auto sync.. and use pdroid patch and remove network access to the apps that you do not want to access your internet
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.

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.

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)
Well, after 316 hours of use without a turn off, I have a lot of lag.
With my old Nexus 5, the record was 1.012 hours, and the camera stop working.

Rebooting should never have to be a solution. The phone should just work. There's no reason this isn't theoretically possible; servers running Linux can have many thousands of hours of uptime.

hahahaha, you CAN NOT compare a linux server to an android phone!!!!
Anyway, I have had 500 hours of uptime with the 6P, until I had to reboot for a security update.
What does this even mean? It's a totally unquantifiable statement. If you need help, I'd suggest posting a thread in the Q&A/Help forum and list what OS/kernel and the various apps you have installed. Modern quad core cellphones with 3gb of RAM and a dedicated GPU is not going to "lag" after 10 days under any circumstance except user error. Wipe your phone. Leave everything bone stock and install your most needed apps one-by-one.
