Hi,
I have a huawei P20.
I have noticed today that if I go to Settings / Wireless & Networks / Data usage / Data usage this month, I click on More, then I choose click on "System and service".
There, I have three things that used date during the month:
- General 2,46 Mo
- Android system 3,70 Mo
- Location service 107 Mo
I don't have any Location service app allowed to use data normally. Here, I see that it a system or a service consumption. How is it possible? And most important, how could I spot which one is, and eventually stop it?
Thanks a lot

Is there a way to save the info/history from the "Data Usage" in the settings? Anyway to restore it? Going to wipe my phone, and wold like to preserve the info
Try titanium backup. Search for "Data usage (policy and stats). " I personally use My Data Manager so I'm not 100% on this, but it seems like that's what it would back up
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using XDA Free mobile app
I use a full wipe Odin on my phone to get it back to as new.
But after a day or 2, I started to realize that I'm not getting push data.
My WhatsApp isn't coming in except if I kill the app and open it and going into a chat, hangouts didn't come in for a few hours till I restarted my phone, and gmail isn't coming in till I refresh all mailboxes separately & my Chase nofications aren't coming in as well.
As I have restored my data info, I have seen that Chase was blocked from background data, which wasn't the case before the backup. I have enable background data, but still not working.
For the others, I disabled and then reanabled background data, but I'm still having problems.
Any insight?
I'm having 2 major issues with my phone.
1) The data alert, (on the data usage page), shows up an alert 1/2 gig before I reach that amount. Bug involved?
2) My GPS lately is creating lots of problems. GPS Toggle is on, but Waze/Maps doesn't collect the data from it, and Waze shows an error that the GPS is not working, and Maps shows my position based on GPS-A. Only when I re-toggle the GPS (off/on), does it show up in the notification bar "searching for location/location found" and then Waze/Maps shows the correct position.
Any insights?

I recently updated my NEXUS 5 to Lollipop. Liked the change even though not a fluid experience as I experienced. But just one day after using the new OS, my phone's network shows an exclamation mark with it. That means not connected to internet, I guess. But when I open up the notification panel there it shows "H" but with an exclamation mark. I am not able to surf internet with my mobile data, but the "MY DATA MANAGER" app is showing 100% data usage by Android OS (by that I mean a lot lot more than my daily budget). Since then I have turned off my mobile data, and use wifi. Android OS keeps on consuming the data over wifi but fairly less I guess. I tried to restrict background data but of no avail (being just a noob I still get the fact that we can seem to restrict data consumed by the OS). I am not sure if this is a bug or some weird application still open to consuming data. Help me with a solution, and if this happens to be a bug please look into this asap.
Hi,
i have a HTC One M8, S-OFF, Sense Edition, with RD MIUI running. It worked perfectly but since a couple of days the data usage of "Android System" ist really really high. In one day it took 1,5 GB (my full data plan).
I didn't change anything, i didn't install a new application. There is no high data usage on Wifi, but if i turn on mobile data i see there is a current transferspeed of 2-4 MByte / s (you can activate this on the statusbar in miui). As my data plan is empty now, i tried it with another sim-card a couple of days later. And by now i have about 57MB used today, nearly everything by "Android System". But atm it's not constantly draining the data.
I tried to stop the usage by denying mobile network to app 1000 with droidwall and it worked. But after a couple of minutes there was a transferspeed of 2-4 MByte again. WTF.
Also you see a message of a Android Update (No MIUI OS Update!!!) after a lot of data is transferred. It doesn't load completely (even is using wifi) because it's miui and not plain android.
I can't get rid of the message because i can't disable the search for updates (i can for miui, but not for android itself). What i did is disable the notification because in the MIUI Thread they told me to.
Nevertheless there is still more data usage than normal and i don't know how to fix it. Also i'm nearly alone with whis problem because the other users of the same rom have no issues.
Please help, it's really really annoying to loose the data plan after one(!!!!) day.
Thanks!
That is part of miui. It is calling home. They have the same issue they just don't notice for what ever reason. Miui is made to upload a bunch to its servers in China.
If you are on miui there should be an app named "Security" already installed
open it
then tap on Data Usage
then on Restrict -Now you you can restrict which user apps to use data and WiFi and which system apps use data(only)
Quick question - I did a manual install of B330 last weekend, and everything seemed OK, until I was looking at web page on the way to work. When my phone is on 4G (switching the phone to 3G mode seems to stop the issue) it seems to be blocking mobile data so just to be on the safe side, I did a factory reset.
Anyway - still doing this (as I checked on the way home tonight). What seems to be happening is that Chrome is ending up in the Power Usage Firewall list as a power intensive app, and getting blocked. If I untick it in the firewall page it's fine, until I look at the next web page.
My question is how do I stop power intensive apps getting added to the firewall?
Update - my phone just doesn't seem to like 4G connections at all - any app that uses data just doesn't seem to want to work, unless I switch the phone to 3G/2G mode. Nobody else having this issue? Should also have mentioned that I'm on 3 UK.

Check your settings. I don´t have such a thing on mine. Power usage is just a warning at notifications panel.
As for Three 4G, check your coverage. I've read the indoors coverage is a bit disappointing.

I've looked through all the settings I can find, and nothing is immediately obvious to change - Three 4G doesn't exist in my home town, but has a strong signal inside and out at my workplace. Plus this worked perfectly in B180. (and colleagues in the same office use 4G on 3 without issue on other makes of handset)
As for where to see the firewall stuff - Phone Manager - Battery Manager - Power Usage Firewall.

The list is populated, but the apps are only blocked if you select them to be so.
Even touching the app from the firewall list (not touching the check mark), you may choose if the app still runs in background after screen goes off.
You may have something wrong at the mobile network settings. Have you enabled "Mobile data always on"?

Yes - as I mentioned before, the phone works perfectly in 3G mode, which would also require the "Mobile data always on" option. It's only when I enable the 4G option that the issues show up - 4G performance is so bad most of the time it times out, and on the odd occasion it does work (rare) - it is slower than 3G.
It's frustrating as this was never an issue on B180.
Have you tried with other SIM? My experience is that reception is as good as B180 with 2 different networks, one being Vodafone UK.

Signal strength is fine - there are colleagues in the same room also on Three who have no issues with 4G, suggesting the network itself is OK.
Try Activity Launcher e browse around the options, specially the settings. There are hidden options, not available through Emui skin.

I'll give a try next week - not likely to be in a 4G area again until then.
Thanks for the suggestions so far though.
Strangely enough, I ended up in a 4G area yesterday, but a different part of the city. Phone worked flawlessly on 4G. Back in the same city, at work - nothing on 4G. 3G is fine.
Hopefully, final update - was playing around with the settings on the phone and tried changing it from smart power plan to performance, and 4G now works fine in the city centre. Don't understand why it needs performance in the city centre, and works OK on smart a couple of miles away, but I can live with the couple of hours shorter battery life I get.
Thanks again for the suggestions though.
My non-tweaked, non-rooted Redmi 5 has the annoying habit of connecting (via Mobile Data) to the net to sync/check for updates every single morning. It seems to override everything I do (I've disabled mobile data, I've cleared the list of Apps and System Apps that can use Mobile Data), I've set a limit of 0KB. Nothing works. The only thing I haven't tried is disabling Background Data for Android System, and that's because it's enabled by default and grayed out, meaning I can't modify it.
Is there a way to restrict all mobile data use for the Redmi 5, the way I was able to do with all my other android-powered phones? And is this problem a "feature" affecting all Redmi 5 phones, or a bug affecting only mine?
There is no way to sync apps and accounts if the option for sync is disabled. It's quite hard to understand by your explanation - does your mobile data and sync options gets automatically turned on after you've turned them off? And what you mean by "Android Sync" and "sync/check for updates"? If you mean that the device is checking for ROM updates, you can turn off that in Settings > About phone > System Update. Just know that without Wi-Fi/mobile data and sync option there is no way for syncing anything on your phone.

I have not turned Sync off altogether. I have, however, activated "Wi-Fi Only" under Settings>Accounts>Sync.
To recap, Wi-Fi only Sync is activated, Mobile data is off, Under "Restrict Data Usage" I have Deactivated Mobile for every single Installed or System App, I've set a Mobile Data limit of 1MB with automatic deactivation of Mobile data when 60% of the limit is reached. And yet, every morning Android System (whose settings are Mobile: Off, WiFi: On, , Background Data: On with no option to deactivate) overrides all these settings, turns on Mobile Data and performs some basic sync operation (roughly 100KB in volume). While the charges are negligible (around 1 cent a day), a. they will be higher if I'm abroad and b. I find it very annoying that there seems to be nothing I can do to prevent this unauthorized data exchange (I'm new in MIUI, but I never, ever had a similar issue with any of many Android-based phones I've used in the past).

Uhm, Android System or MIUI ROM itself can't override your settings. Chances are that you probably have some malicious app installed and it has permission to manage your system/background connectivity settings. You can check this by going to Settings > Permissions > Other permissons > Modify system settings.
Nope, no malicious app there (only Skype and the preinstalled Music and Mi Remote apps have permission to change system settings). Besides, the only app that has actually consumed Mobile Data all this time iss, according to the Usage stats, Android System.
