It seems that Android OS is using a ton of data. More than anything else on my phone.
I only have an 8gb package with Verizon, and the OS has used 800mb already.
How can I find out the culprit?

Try a data monitor app from the play store.
My guess is, as always, something to do with location services, or at least an app using location services.
Try turning it off completely for a day. And see how it is then.

i heard the stock OS uses 6.5GB. if that is correct it would be 9.5GB and 25.5GB of free space.
I'm not sure where you got that number from. Even on the nexus 4 or 7, pure stock takes up only around 3.5-4.0GB. From the MotoX my friend has, it showed 11.88Gb of 16Gb right out of box. There isn't any bloat at all except for two att apps that can be disabled, but it requires a little extra space than pure stock due to the moto apps.
That number came from a Verizon x
And the x isn't a nexus, so it is definitely larger than a N4 or N7

Not being a nexus doesn't change the fact that it is close to pure stock as you get with just the moto apps added in. MotoX doesn't add any of the stuff Samsung or HTC does like the bloaty touchwiz or sense ui.
The 11.88gb number is from an att unit. But that doesn't mean the 2gb difference is due to carriers. I'm betting that guy installed his other apps on there before reporting that number.
Oh trust me, Verizon bloatware is pretty horrifying

Active notifications is an app, so it falls under the app category, not system OS. Again, the motoX also has active notifications, so the app isn't going to magically use 2GB more space on the maxx. But I noticed you have 32GB that could account for the difference since larger internal storage reserves more space for more general formatting than a 16GB.
Before I loaded my games and apps I had about 12gb of free space on my X

Google maps has recently started to act terribly.
It never fixes me at the correct place, at all.
Here's me NOT in the middle of the Hudson commuting in to NYC.
Has anyone else had similar r issues ?

perhaps you were murdered by the mafia and don't know it yet.
Anyway, this is a shot in the dark, but with my previous phone it had issues with AGPS for a while. The only real solution was to open maps and turn screen time out to forever and just let it sit until it got a lock. sometimes it would take 20 minutes. After it locked it would be good until the next reboot.
There are also apps in the play store to test satelite connections. I don't remember what they are called though.

What's odd is I'm sitting here on the train with my moto x and nexus 7 side by side. Both have the same number of satellite fixes, but the moto cannot fix in Google maps but the nexus 7 does.?

Doesn't work... it requires some underlying Verizon framework. Use Verizon Usage Widgets from the Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hoeksoft.minute.widget.verizon
It's $2 but it it's worth it, used to use it all the time on several different ROMs, even when I was Air and my son was Verizon so I could monitor his data usage.

I just use the My Verizon app from the store, works for me. Thats on Gummy Rom there.
Is anyone else having an issue where Google Wallet says that functions are disabled because it "looks like another app is blocking access to wallet." It then says that another app may be drawing over the screen. Any ideas?

I have the exact issue, however I have a LG G2 vs980. I thought the issue might be from my using xprivacy, however I have it set to ignore google wallet. Also this is my first time trying to use google wallet.
Figured mine out. Lux is not compatible.

You're right - it's Lux. Never had a problem before, so it didn't even occur to me.

Thank you! That took care of my problem too!
Oh god So that's why my Google wallet been acting up. DAM YOU LUX!!
so did you have to uninstall LUX? or set it to ignore Wallet? I guess we could just disable the app while using wallet
im looking to try it myself . hopefully i dont have any problems
As title. I seem to be having a lot of force closes on unrooted, xt1052, no carrier, 4.4.4 with new versions of apps. Gapps and 3rd party, but especially (and surprisingly) Gapps, including Gsearch!
Running ART, but this has not been an issue previously.
Anyone else?

No carrier could be the issue. Do you still experience them when in airplane mode with WiFi on?
Thanks, by no carrier I meant unbranded/unlocked/no carrier interference. Same on WiFi only. Maybe a factory reset is in order.

switch back to Dalvik before you factory reset and see if it works any better.
I might try that, but been running art 9 months since the day I got it. Either way, thanks
