You won't be able to tie that together. They are controlled by completely different systems. You would also have to make a custom OS for it to even be remotely possible.
I’ve seen on the billing from my cellphone provider, that the Note 4 makes approximately 3-5 times in a month a mobile data connection without my permission.
How is it possible to figure out the reason of this bad behaviour? (I use MIUI Global 8.2 Stable 8.2.10.0, and I want to use this Android 6 based MIUI Version furthermore). Maybe this is a huge bug in MIUI, or is it possible that this is caused by an App? But which one?
Anyway I’ve disabled the setting “Allow background data” for apps to prevent the use of mobile data when I’m not using them. But this setting is not enough to prevent the mobile data connection buildup of the Note 4X.

Have you ever heard the phrase "ET phone home"? See for example: https://www.reddit.com/r/androidapp..._apps_desperately_try_to_phone_home_how_do_i/
That is why I will never use a MIUI ROM that has not had all the "phone home" functionality removed. There are XDA threads for the Redmi Note 2 that are devoted to (among other things) doing this - see e.g., https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-2/development/b-skinny-pro-t3347906
It is getting increasingly difficult to remove all the phone home functionality, hence why I will never use MIUI.
Firewall app Netguard (no root) will let you check and, at least to a certain extent, control things like this.
Some "calling home" behavior is obviously necessary for proper functioning of android (Google account) and MIUI (Mi account).

I think, if a mobile data connection is not enabled by the user, it should stay in this mode until the user enables it.
The Device and the manufacturer are not allowed to do self decisions. Who pays me the permanent mobile data traffic? Xiaomi? Sure not.
I fear that a firewall doesn't help. The firewall is able to prevent network data traffic e.g. for an app. But for my understanding a firewall can't prevent a system app independently to open and close a new mobile data line - unless I'm mistaken.

Yes, I think I have actually noticed some "unexplainable" traffic on a few occasions, bypassing the firewall, with mobil data enabled, but the firewall supposedly shutting off all traffic.
But as it does not have any particular importance for me personally, I haven't spent any time looking into it.
But if you do not even have mobile data enabled, then nothing should get through at all - I assume?
This is really strange that data is enabled by a system app, and the first I've ever heard of it happening. Are you SURE it is MIUI using your data and not a rogue app or malware (are you rooted and/or do you use pirated apps or APK's from random places)?
MIUI built in security app is perfectly capable of measuring the data usage per app, and also total data usage. You can use the built-in firewall to block any app - user or system - from accessing data.
The restriction here is that you cannot block a system app from WiFi, not without a third party mod to the Security APK (a guy on en.miui.com forums has instructions for this, bit you need to be good with smali). I will eventually release a generic patch for this once my patching tool is ready for a public alpha.
But I digress.
MIUI security app should tell you. If MIUI is using data without permissions and you can demonstrate that it is definitely an MIUI process and not something *you* put on, I would think it is definitely a bug. They will NOT want their stuff costing you data without permission!

It's called anonymous telemetry, dude. Yes there is a lot of it in MIUI, but this is just the way of the world these days. If you don't like it, go and use a non-branded device with AOSP and no Google services at all. Not everyone is this paranoid, most of us are fine with revealing *anonymous* data to help improve product experience.
I guarantee you that XDA are collecting data about your PC and browser and your location for statistical and security reasons.

So am I - when it is entirely my choice and decision and I have control over whether or not it happens.
It is good to know that some people are so trusting, and are certain that all those communications with servers in China are all about anonymous data.

Yes - if they can drill through VPNs.
If you were that paranoid you'd know that a VPN doesn't make you untraceable. Even using Tor browser with all its hardening doesn't guarantee privacy...
It's not that some "some people are so trusting", but rather that some people have faith in companies not being stupid enough to break international laws - especially on an OS like Android where it's very easy for security experts to find this stuff.
There was once a scare about Xiaomi data collection years ago, but it has since been debunked as anonymous. Yes it might annoying that the collection is opt-out, but it's certainly not forced.
Your case is isolated - I have no such data use without my permission and I've never seen anybody else report it in all my years of being an MIUI power user.
Unless you're using the China ROM of course, which would be silly....
Back to the matter at hand, have you checked in Security > Data Usage the stats? And have you blocked everything in the system tab of the firewall from using data?
One last question. Do you have an MMS APN setup? Because it could just be a heartbeat to your provider.

Hi everyone!
My friends and I are working on a custom AOSP based ROM for Nexus and Pixel devices which is targeting children as main users. The idea is to have a remote controllable, bloatware free, pure AOSP ROM that would allow parents to track their kids mobile usage. Some of the features would be:
Location tracking (constant or on request)
Block applications (block install, uninstall, running)
Internet access firewall per app (Mobile data and/or Wifi)
Restrict access to various settings and controls (camera, airplane mode...)
Panic mode: activated by the kid which locks the device and starts emitting location via SMS and to controlling app
Lock mode: activated by the parent so that the child can focus on other things (school, play time, night time...)
Mobile app for parents to control the phone
Peer to peer communication (via pubnub or ably) with data encryption (no data stored on servers, all on parents and child's device) between the ROM and the controlling app
No root access (of course)
Ad blocking and inappropriate web site restrictions via hosts file (later via proxy)
Since all features are system integrated, nothing can be overridden by the child
We are in a finishing phase of implementing this ROM and I would like to ask all of you parents who are thinking of giving their kids a phone to help us out in determining if this is something that they would use. Would be great if you could put in comments which device would you prefer or if you any other comment regarding the idea or ROM itself. We are targeting Nexus and Pixel phones since AOSP runs smoothly on them and there are no hardware related issues because we all know how kids get frustrated with a non-working phone
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
I'm looking to get a secured space where I can launch some android apps with my personal data.
That a way I can separate personal data of work data.
I know samsung provide "knox" which is the best solution, but it's not working in others brand device.
Earlier, I had on my Nexus tab, the possibility to use an owner account and to swype to an "guess" account which can also a solution,
but it seems to not be available on recent release of android.
So anyone can give me some solution availabe ?
Cheers?

Which version of Android are you using? I have android n stock and there is the user option if you go to the settings app, there you can find the guest option and other options as well.
Well, I didn't find it on android 6 on my Xperia M4 Aqua.
On my Samsung S6, there're android 7, after many research I dind't find it. This phone is a very good device with knox but after a falling ugrade
the knox count rise to 1, so knox saw that as a security issue and it can't still running on.
So are are you sure it's always remains on android 6 and 7 ?
First off, I hope I'm posting this in the correct area
This may be a fantasy, but I will state my idea, and if you know any way of making it a reality, OR if it already exists, I would really appreciate your advice & help!
The idea is basically a super lightweight custom ROM that would work (be able to be flashed on) on a lot of different devices. (multiple android phones & tablets)
Preferably, I want it to run on the most stable version of Android
No play store, only a predetermined set of apps to be installed along with the ROM
No stock browser or any native apps that have a browser built-in
Basically, there are a few applications for this product, 2 that come to mind.
The most obvious, Kid friendly - I know about the parental controls available, I want something 'bulletproof'.
To ensure productivity and reduce distractions among employees.
I would also want a browser that is whitelist-based that can have the whitelist updated remotely, every time the browser connects to the internet, (either on startup of the app or in the background) it would check the whitelist and update itself with the new definitions. Ideally, I would want a Chrome-based browser with a built-in adblocker.
I know the lines are blurred from custom ROM to custom apps. I hope I'm not dreaming of a unicorn
(The native apps preferred would be The Camera, Messages and phone apps)
I think what you looking for is "Kids Space" from oxygenOs and colorOs 13. Now even I'm looking for the same for older oneplus devices.
You had any luck with it?
