Data usage by Android system? - LG Optimus 4X HD

When i check the data usage, I found that the android system uses a lot of data, about 30-50% of my total usage, all is background data.Is that normal? if not, what should i do?
Thanks in advance.

Bought that for myself and 3 of my friends who have the phone, best $15 bucks you will ever spend.

The one thing I found that was eating my battery was always on 3g data. Check out DCSwitch from the market ... it allows you to disable/enable data connection on demand.
I haven't tried APNDroid - but that approaches data disable from a different angle.
With data off in standby, I use <1% per hour...

Serious battery drain

This happened while my phone was in my pocket asleep. Anyone know why?

because of the apps tou use? anyways, after flashing, it usually rakes 2-3 full battery cycles for the battery to normalize.
yikes! was this after a fresh install or ota? do you have any cpu frequency state data (system monitor or bbs)? looks like there may have been a lot of syncing, and some furious firefox usage.

Auto sync is turned off to reserve battery. It was a fresh install and all stock. Also restricted data usage so Firefox shouldn't have even been doing anything.

if it was a fresh install, again, just wait a few charging cycles, itll normalize.
Thanks for the input
Update: After the battery drained to the point where it wouldn't even turn on, I let it charge fully and it did indeed normalize.

What is This Icon in the Status Bar?

Just a quick question about an unknown icon in my status bar. I assume it's something related to data, but since neither my Note 8 or any other Samsung device prior have had it, I just want to make sure it's not something running that will kill my battery.
Data saver is on , look for it in Data usage and yes it lower your data consumption and will not affect your battery life

Battery drain

Hi, I have p30 pro for about 3 weeks now and the software is updated. However, I have noticed in the last few days that battery drain is happening a lot faster than it used to be. I did not install any new apps nor do I have a live theme or notification app... I think I can only get about 5 hours on screen time now, but earlier could do better.. How long does your battery holds and what is your average on-screen time? Also what is the unlocking frequency of yours in the past 7 days or so?

After update, you should clear cache via recovery so it can optimize apps back properly. For me easily 7hours sot with my Samsung gear connected 24/7 + GPS always on and that's with around 15-20% left. Also in App Launch, I don't set it to automatic. I manage them manually allowing those I want and disabling those that I don't need running in the background.

I am not sure what do you mean by "clear cache via recovery", can you please explain? I can not get 7hours on screen time and have 15% left, no way!

Can assure you that almost everyone here can get 7 hours of SOT. Do you have any rogue apps ? Reboot your phone into recovery, then choose Wipe Cache.

So now it's 2 am, I have charged the phone to 100% at 9:30pm, It has not be used much although it was on mobile data the whole time. This is the result now: 85% baterry, and it says "time awake" 1:06 mins. Does that mean that phone was unlocked and used for 1 hour and 6 mins after being fully charged? Since I don't think I have used it for so long, since I was in cinema for 3 hours, from 10pm until 1:30am, and only unlocked it for couple of times during the movie. Something strange is def going on. I don't have rogue apps, just normal ones and tbh just a few.
Can you please be so kind to type step by step tutorial where to find all that in settings and what to do, because I don't want to mess something up.. Thank you.
i unplugged the phone at 6:30am today its 9 pm. phone has been playing pandora thru BT since 10 am to 7pm still have 50% battery left. cant see how many hours of SOT. Battery life is amazing for me.
I'm expierencing same thing. Only about 4 or 5hrs sot. Something isn't right. Running 131 aoftware

Yes sure, shut down your phone. Then hold volume up and power key. Once you feel a vibration, then release the power button and keep holding the volume key. You should now be in recovery menu. Find Clear Cache. Then reboot when you're done. You wont lose any data. It will optimize all installed apps. The time awake you're referring to in the hardware section is the screen on time. You should also note that if your network coverage is bad, then consumption will be higher too. Try downloading this app to lock it in either 4g/lte or 3g only if coverage is bad in your area : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xsquarestudio.forcelte
Hope that helps. If you're still facing bad battery life, then i reckon you to do a factory reset as a last resort.

Okay, thank you very much, I will do that before my next full charge. Are you sure no data will be lost?
Ps. Update on the battery status. So it is 9:26am now, screen awake time 3:26, battery 66%, 12 hours since last charge. Only on wifi, no mobile data.

No, it just wipes the cache. 3.26hrs with 66% left is fine.

Okay thanks about the data info. But not sure whether it's fine because ppl have 7,8 on screen time and have 15-20% remaining.. I will test it today until the battery fully drains to see what screen on time will I get.. Also, one question considering the wipe cache, will it get downgraded to original emui version that was on the phone before the update or will the. 124 update still be present?

It doesn't effect any update or data in your phone. It just clears the cache. Make sure to click the CLEAR CACHE option and NOT the CLEAR DATA :laugh:

No it won't too. Firmware can't be downgraded.
just do factory reset and start over ...
Update. 16:50 now, 23% baterry, 6 hours on screen time, 19h34min since the last charge... So it was yesterday at 9pm fully charged, not a full day of without charging, not to mention two days that others are experiencing.. Tonight I will do the cache cleanup and measure the results in the next couple of days.. If no result achieved I will do a factory reset, hoping it would fix the issue..
I have done the cache clearance, but no difference at all considering the battery drain. Can you share what is the best way to save all data before doing the factory reset? Upload it on some cloud or some other way? Also, are you guys always in normal mode or do you enable power saving mode?

If you're still facing battery drain then i guess you may have restored your apps when you first setup your phone. For call logs, sms and contacts , you may use huawei's in built cloud back up and for photos , use google photos. Then factory reset and don't restore any apps from google. Start fresh.

Question How can I downgrade my phone from android 12 to android 11

I want to downgrade it because android 12 literally drain my battery.When i was on android 11 it stays for 2-3 days now only 1 please help
Did you do a factory reset?
If not, try that... best to do after a major firmware upgrade. That may solve the problem, however a lot of users are having Android 12 regrets.

Sounds like a 3rd party app is causing it.
Find the root cause instead of messing with the firmware.
Take sd_shadow's advice...
Go to Settings > Battery > Battery usage.
There you will se what is Eating battery & choose Restricted.
On my phone the app for my smart watch eats 29% of battery... I restricted.
I suggest Don't restrict Android system & network, connection related app's.

Avoid using global power management as it will cause erratic behaviors and even increase battery usage long term.
Find and deal with problem app(s) directly. Try clearing it cache and data if needed.
In app settings try restricting its background internet and battery usage.
Toss it if not really needed...
Sometimes battery usage is misreported and a parent or dependency app may be the culprit.
Fun, no?
Play with it...
belkata_47​You are wright. It still devours the battery.
Second battery eater after my smart watch app is Android System. This i can NOT restrict.
blackhawk​I clean cache almost everyday with Motorola Help app.

You need to find what in Android Services is eating the battery. It may be a 3rd app that's conflicting or using an Android service.
A witch hunt...
@belkata_47​yours still eats battery?
Mine is settle. Now battery is fine. The app for smart watch is Force Stoped.
