Abnormal android os background data consumption

Hi.
I am on cm10 nightly 7-9-12 and I've got a very unusual problem.
The android os consumed 407 mb of data while I was asleep . I hadn't kept anything for download .
Can someone help and tell me what might be the reason for this and how can I prevent this in case it occurs again?
(Sorry for my bad English)

It's pretty abnormal, this is now android problem anyway, look apps u installed like game, or Google drive and same
Install only from market, only trusted app and install droidwall for block Internet usage for some apps
This is the solution, I don't think it's a bug

Onavo Extend is another app I would suggest!

This could be due to sync between google, google drive, cloud storage of all your media, images etc in the background, shut down background data in accounts and sync , when not required

Thank you for your response, I'm afraid that doesn't seem to be the case. I don't use cloud storage, Google drive and sync is switched off always.

This is how I solved it:
Fresh install ROM
During setup, make sure to UNCHECK "Restore settings from Google" and "Backup .... to Google servers"
Data usage after setup was about 4-10M and growing fast subsequently but now after doing this its under 200k.
I'm not sure what happens if I turn the backup and restore back on but I'd experiment with it when I don't have to rely on mobile data as much and report back. Hope this helps.

Howto have a selective android startup

Is there any method by which i can define my startup android processes on stock rom. There are so many services that i dont use but they are constantly running like i dont use hotmai or gmail app instead i use the stock email app and hs merged my accounts. So beside uninstalling them i want to limit all such messengers and other apps.

You can freeze them using TB or use autostarts or Rom toolbox's auto start manager to disable the receivers which will stop the apps from starting on boot and various other criterias

By flashing a Tizen OS as soon as it becomes available.

Well i bet tizen would be having that feature and you will be the first to switch. You people were among those who boast about and show loyalty to symbian and were the first to switch to android. So its not advicable to negatively propogate about the upcoming stuff without evidence.
I am an optimist and will always be.

[Q] Is my battery broken

Hello,
I have recently bought galaxy note, which was already 1.5 year old.
I've heard that the users had to change the battery after 1 year of using.
So here's my problem.
The phone needs 2h to charge the battery from about 5% to 100% and I can use it only for 3h when the screen is on whole time.
Watching a movie uses about 35%.
My dad has note 2. He can use it whole day long and his batt isn't empty by the evening. Ok it has 3100mah instead of 2500, but the difference shouldn't be so big?
Here are some screenshots:

}
You think my battery is dead?
Are there some special behaviours that indicate the battery is old already?
Cause I remember there were some on my old X10.
Also could You post some of Your battery stats if possible?

You can look for background apps. But if the battery is old it will be like that.

I already did. When the screen and wifi are of the battery lasts good. But whenever some activity is there it goes down like hell.
So would You recommend replacing it?

Usually yes..

Ok, I've ordered new one. We will see if the battery life will improve

Nope, new battery hasn't improved the battery life

What battery did you buy and what rom/kernel are you on?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I was on cm10.2. The battery lasted 3h when screen was on.
I bought for 100% original battery and went back to ics. I also removed as many as possible autostart apps. Now the battery lasts about an hour longer.
Whenever I turn on the WiFi the battery drain increases rapidly.

Android OS large data usage

Hi guys. Can someone please help by telling me what Android OS seems to be downloading that it's gotten to over 6 gigs.
It downloads almost 700mb to 1GB everyday.
I'm afraid it will do same on my mobile network. Anyway I can turn what's being downloaded off?
Thanks.

Would that affect any app such as my email auto sync, Whatsapp, hangouts and others?

instead of built-in restriction app for data
u can install another apps from play.store to restrict data usage of another apps or let them to work
:good:

I use BLE to block certain apps from mobile data and monitor my plans, works great

It's because of the keep this device backed up option that comes with Android. I had the same issue. Disable it from the backup and reset menu.

Thanks for the info, but it seems like there is no solution for this problem on a non rooted phone. It only has happened sometimes and today I only have 94 wakelocks from the same service.

Agreed it's Fast Dormancy - I used Xposed + "Per App Hacking" to remove the ability for this app (com.sonyericsson.android.wakeup) to request wakelocks and that got rid of these.

You probably was on Wi-Fi today
If you only had 94 wake ups, only happens on mobile data

Sorry, had to do it xD
