Is this normal? Ive been running ARHD since June 1st, and I'm noticing that android uses a huge amount of mobile data, causing large battery drain and wasting mobile data. Please help!
Better battery stats claims it to be (0) Mobile. Any other apps that can help diagnose what is being uploaded/downloaded in the Android OS?

I believe I found the culprit. Using Betterbatterystats and NetMonitor, its apparent that other data services seem to hide under android OS.
I was streaming some E3 coverage using flash in maxathon browser, and all data through LTE seemed to appear through the Android OS service. I then updated a few apps in the play store, and same deal.
I'm assuming that any application in system/app that uses data hides as Android OS usage rather then the actual system app itself in the usage tab within settings. In better battery stats, under 'network', the data usage appears under (0). My question is:
Is there an app that could show me network usage for individual system applications?

I'm looking for any app that can monitor wifi usage on my nexus. I like how detailed 3G watchdog is, but thats only for 3G. I need a similar app for Wifi. I tried Stats Free, but that only tracks total wifi usage from the reset point. The notification bar usage from Quick System Info wasnt that helpful.
My aim is to track my wifi usage down to each day, week, and month. Is there any other app to do that? Also, would be nice if it did that for minutes and SMS.
I think TrafficMonitor from the MIUI Rom is what you looking for... And I think it is the best application!

Anyway a link to the apk could be posted?
Sorry, I tried before in market but no succeed. Give a try on MIUI forum...
I use "TrafficStats" from Android Market, both free and paid versions are available.
It can give every single application's detailed network traffic statistics, very handy.
More information here:

Data Counter Widget from the market.
It's my favourite counter as it's a very simple, clean looking, yet effective widget that monitors both the 3G and the Wifi usage in the same spot. It's very customizable (except that the free version doesn't have all the text colors).
Hi guys,
I've installed CyanogenMod 7.0.0-RC2 yesterday on my new Nexus One.
When I go to "About phone" I see in "Mem info (avail/total)" > "XXX MB / 405 MB"
This is implying that my phone only has 405mb of ram when it should have 512mb.

Is this a problem with my phone or is it normal? Is there any way to reclaim the memory?
Thanks for answering,
PD: Sorry for my english.
The radio I know takes up RAM causing it to appear less in the phone specs. At least on the g2 is like that.

Great, thanks for answering.
The RAM is used by lots of other things such as the OS, the launcher, Google core system apps, the system process, etc. Those all reside in RAM.
I've been wondering how people get such good battery life so I just checked what was eating mine and I saw that Facebook is absolutely destroying my battery. Is there a way to make the app more energy-efficient, and does this happen to anyone else?

What about under the Facebook Settings u could change the time under "Refresh interval" to a longer time period or even to Never.
Then on ur phone go to Manage applications/ Facebook then Force stop. Then check the usage several hrs later or the next day...

I did that a few hours ago and it seems to be a bit better. I'll check at the end of the day tomorrow and then see how much battery it uses.

The simplest answer is just to uninstall Facebook. Besides running yet another unneeded service on your phone, the app phones home to Facebook on you.
You gain battery life, and more privacy. Win win in my book.
I had 95% battery at 23:00. I next went to use my nexus at 19:00 the next day and it was completely out of charge.
I charged it a bit until I could actually power it on and see the battery stats.
The battery dropped normally for a few hours after i stopped using the nexus, eg maybe 1% drop to 94%, then suddenly dropped to 0% in just a few more hours.
The battery was used by 'google services' which reported 5hrs33mins of CPU time. It looks like Goole services suddenly just started eating the battery. Android OS shows as using 6hrs of CPU time.
I will see how it goes and if it occurs again then I will revert to 4.1.2.
Found this - may be related to my problem as I can see that at the same time as the battery drain started my WiFi connection had gone.

Anyone else noticed this, you'd need to switch off WiFi I guess to see the issue if it is related to the link above.
Me too, Google services and Android OS are using way more battery than they should ever since I installed 4.2 (clean install, flashed the factory image).

The image shows 6h20m of usage, my Maps app keeps starting on its own and is keeping my phone awake.
Even after I force close and remove all maps related services.
Does anyone have a solution to this that doesn't involve advanced task killer and the likes?
I'm on CM10, with 4.2.1 gapps.

Just uninstall it or freeze it using Titanium Backup
