Is your mobile data often not enough? In the Android system, the mobile app will still run in the background after exiting, which will consume some mobile phone data.
In fact, with some simple settings, we can save power, increase the length of use of the phone, and also greatly save mobile data. Here are some tips for sharing.
First of all, by selecting the networking mode of the application, it is possible to effectively prevent the application from frequently connecting to the network in the background and wasting traffic.
Method: Open Settings > Wireless & networks >Mobile data > Networked apps.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then, choose how the application connects to the network to control the number of networked apps.
Through the above reasonable choice of networking, you can not only improve the length of use of mobile phones, but also save mobile data.
At the same time, we can also reduce the unnecessary data consumption when the mobile phone is dormant.
Method: Open Settings > Battery, click on the top right corner, turn off the "Always keep the network connection while sleeping" switch.
This simple operation saves both mobile data and battery life. Huys,Try it now.
Mobile data usage isn't something I typically worry about. My package has a 20Gb data transfer limit and I rarely use more the 1Gb per month . Only time I've used more recently is when I first moved house and I was waiting for my broadband to installed and I was tethering everything via my phone.
That's without taking any special measure other than jumping on WiFi at home & work.

Hello all,
I signed up for a trial of Google's All Access. I'm a avid user of Google Music, it is my primary source of music playback. Since I signed up for All Access my Google Music data usage has almost tripled. I've always streamed at high quality and the amount of time streaming music hasn't really changed. Is anyone else seeing this massive spike in data consumption in All Access?
All access buffers like a mother... I have played 3 songs with no internet connection I personally don't mind it, but check and make sure that cache is off in the settings

You can select the option "keep on device" and you will see the song / album is pinned. These songs are saved for offline use. So pick a few albums when on wifi and listen on the road without using data plan. Unfortunatlely, data can't be accessed or moved to SD, but maybe someone can pick this up as a project to save device memory usage.

Hello,
I wonder what is Acess Point ? I was checking the settings on my phone, and i found this option... But i dont know how i can use that.
See the image bellow:

Translating from portuguese to english, in the purple letters, it says "Active".
Do i need to change this status ? If so, how ?
It's probably either WiFi network selection, or the Internet Sharing mode (I slightly doubt the latter, as that shows a bunch of other UI). It might be a special app to add hidden WiFi networks, perhaps?
Also, what phone is this, and what entries in Settings is this "access point" item between (what above it, what below)?
This looks like the Nokia App "Access Point +" and afaiu it is used for selecting network operator profiles.
Access Point is a feature in WP8 that has evolved from WP7 cellular (but just the data connection).
If some1 is using several SIM cards, it is very annoying to set up the phone for Internet and MMS especially if some1 doesn't know all the parameters. So AP+ helps us by saving all the data neccesery for setting up the device. Once another card is in, one simply has to select the network profile he wishes, and boom, the phone is instantly set up.
Also, one may mannualy add MMS and Internet parameters to the phone, and select that profile to use, instead of the default one.
Hi
I have a Moto G with the 2 sim slots occupied and my problem is this

As you can see, every 10 seconds I have an app using the mobile data. And because my provider rates each block of data of 100 kB, in a matter of days, it completely dries out my 500 MB plan..
Is there anyway of discovering what app is making this?
There's an app on Play that will monitor apps data usage called My Data Manager - Data Usage. It's free so you could give that a shot.
I've been using thay app, it tells me the usage, but my problem isn't the usage, because whatever is connecting the data plan is using a very small amount of data, but is doing that at every 10seg.
Is their any way to check how often one app is trying to connect to the internet?
You could try restricting the background data of apps until you find which one is causing the problem.
Yes, that is an idea. The only way to check that is on the 11th of the next month, so until then I'm open to new ideas to check what is causing this.
I too having the same problem. It consumed 2.4Gb+ within 3 days form the billing cycle. The data counter on my phone is showing only 260Mb. I have to wait till 10th of next month to check. One thing I notice is that location icon is active most of the time when I do screen unlock. I am going to turn off location in the next cycle and see if it help.
same problem here since update to lollipop
Same problem here. I just can't have mobile data enabled.
Anyone of you just found the solution to the problem?

Hello everyone, today I woke-up with my phone pretty much dead, with only 1% of battery. The weird thing is that before bed, the battery percentage was around 70ish percent.
Here's a screenshot of the battery usage:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Some details to help me figure it out the issue:
Auto optimize daily is on.
Auto restart at set times is on (it restarted around the time that the battery percentage drops to the floor).
Adaptative power saving is off.
Background usage limits is configured properly.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks in advance!
it's possible the Google services was running (updates and such) and used up a lot of the battery. Google being the OS developer tends to run quite a lot of things in the back without users knowing, and this is quite normal. As to draining such large amount, is your location in a poor data coverage area? if you are, then the phone likely was using extra battery to strengthen the signal. Note that even with wifi connection, data is still used for some activities by the phone.
if this keeps persisting then Google is probably not the culprit and you'll want to report the issue right away to samsung using samsung members app > get help > error report. just be sure to see the drain and immediately report.
Also, I've seen some users install 3rd party apps to track in finer detail on what is using the battery the most. I myself do not know as I don't use it, but you can easily find some recommendations on Reddit i think.
Hey guys,
I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra and I have been trying to
clear the "Wifi Data Usage" statistics in the setting menu.

It seems like there was someone that asked the same thing 8 years ago.
How can I delete/erase the data and wifi usage statistics on my device?
I checked all over the net, but could not find the answer to this. I want to know if there is a way to delete/erase the data usage and wifi usage that is saved to my device. My phone is not rooted, so I am really hoping I can do without rooting...
forum.xda-developers.com
However, this method seems outdated.
I found another method on the internet saying that I had to go into /data/system/netstats
and delete all the files there to clear the statistics.
However, I was not able to find any files to delete in the first place in this directory.
I've tried different file manager applications, including termux, to see if there were any files, but It was empty.
I'm in a situation where I have to frequently clear the statistics, so doing a factory reset every time is not a viable option.
I plead you, Android Wizards of the XDA Forum, please have sympathy for this lost soul and guide me to the truth.
Thank you
Settings menu has option to factory reset Network settings only.
You will have to enter wifi credentials etcetera again.
Hey any update on this?
I'm also looking for the same,
/data/system/netstats folder doesn't have any files to delete.
