Android OS large data usage - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

u can restrict background data through setting u post its screen-shot
so background data downloading of android OS will restrict while u r on data

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.

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

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.

What Rom is this? Stock?
I also face this problem of excessive ram usage sometimes, then I restart my phone and kill the apps in task manager, then it shows about 325-350 free ram. Please any expert's comment will be of great help here.

is your phone lagging due to the heavy ram usage? android automatically cleans up ram when it needs it,so if your phone isn't lagging, there isn't anything to worry about
Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda premium
I see you using "GO blahblah" apps. Dont use GO apps. They use a lot of ram storage. Uninstall if and your ok

I can download apps and have no issues.

Does it work for you now? I can access it just fine. Could have been google servers resetting after the play store was hacked and crashed.

Have you tried connecting through wifi? It took a long time to load up the first time i tried and I had full bars on LTE. Just guessing here since it looks like your signal is not as strong.
I tried wifi also still no success

Here is a list of things you can try to fix the timeout issue. Have you messed with time and date settings? Or daylight savings might have caused a sync error with google servers? Good luck
Ok here is the work around I found if you go to Google play music app info and un install the updates for it . Then go back to Google play store click music it works for me.
