Hi, I am new to Android and just bought Nexus one.
I like every features of the phone. However, I switched off Autosync with google account and turned off even background data. Lastly I killed all of the background running apps except 3G watchdog (to check 3G usage).
And this F nexus one still downloading some data!! its downloaded like 200kb for an hour. Last week it chewed up 50MB on a day when I used data for an OTA update which was around 15MB.
I had an iPhone 3G and 3GS before, but I used iphone with push notification on and never had problem with data usage.
Why my nexus one is keep chew up my data? Am I doing something wrong?
I am sad that I need to run gmail app to see if I received new email.
PS. Last 3 days, I used data for like 5min per day and it chewed up 30MB per day. -_- Root the phone and flash with custom rom could help me out please!

Is there any other way other than just blocking 3G connection? I wish I could just use internet when I need it and download only what I used. little over is ok, but 20MB per day for nothing is not alright for me.. sigh..

hmm I guess you can just use the toggle data widget and turn the data off when you are not using it, when you want to however just tap the widget and it'll turn back on for you. Is that what your looking for?
Can I ask why it is you wish to do this? Do you pay per MB?
I can understand the latter, however there is a great deal to switch off if you want to stop the phone from syncing everything.
try these
* Settings -> Wireless & networks -> Mobile networks, uncheck 'Data roaming'
* Settings -> Location & security, uncheck 'Use wireless networks'
* Settings -> Applications -> Running services, stopped all except Adriod keyboard & Live Wallpaper
* Settings -> Accounts & sync, uncheck 'Background data' and Synch is off for the accounts I have (facebook & gmail)
* Settings -> Privacy, uncheck 'Use My Location'
* Facebook -> Settings, 'Refresh interval' set to "Never". 'Notifications' set to "Inactive"
* Gmail -> Settings, 'Email notifications' set to "Never"
* Email -> Account Settings, 'Email check frequency' set to "Never"

Thank you! I will try this setting and how it goes. Is there push-notification like iphone? push-notification seemed work great with using tiny amount of data.
By the way, I live in AUS and I have 250MB per month to use. If I use more than 250MB, I need to pay extra money for data usage.

I just do not understand why Nexus one is chewing my data while its just sitting in my pocket, when iPhone did not. Imagine 10MB per day is equal to 300MB per month. I saw someone used 3weeks with 7MB download, which is understandable. Why mine doesn't..
A simple method without rooting or any other application would be:
1. Dialpad *#*#4636#*#*
2. Phone information
3. Menu
4. More
5. Disable Data Connection or Disable Data on Boot
There you go. You can enable it same way . Choose first option from 5. if you want to re-enable it without a reboot.
Ran into this problem, too. Slapped APNdroid on it since to toggle data connections, which works great except the app can be a little glitchy.

I downloaded APNdroid as well, but it blocks 3G phone as well. I assume that it also toggle phone connectivity.
I think it's hilarious that you're getting so upset because your SMARTPHONE uses DATA. 250mb for a month isn't nearly enough. Do yourself a favor and get 1gb at least... and enjoy your phone!

Well, 250mb for you maybe not enough. But I used it kind of enougly with iPhone. Also, it chewed up for no reason? I did not get any benefits with the usage. I wouldnt be upset if the data that spent by nexus one was beneficial for me. It's just leaking and I wanna know why is it leaking.

man, really..
my phone is on 24/7. all day with 3G, evening with wifi.
at the end of the day i never am above 5-6 MB of data transferred in total.
Im not sure what you've installed but its not the default experience.

I'd argue there is reason. The major focus point of the phone is so that you can receive your data on the go. I get my email, weather, news, IM, sports scores, twitter updates, etc, etc... instantly and automatically. Not only that, but my phone backs up my settings, and contacts automatically so I don't have to even think about anything when I wipe my phone to reflash a new rom.
Frankly without all that, there's not much point to the phone. You might as well just check those things from a full scale computer, and just carry a dumb phone.
Really can't see why you'd want to limit the data usage of a N1 (or any other 'smart phone'). It's completely useless without a data connection!
That said, it really shouldn't use much if you aren't doing anything with it. I only use 400Mb ish a month with plenty of use including mail/calendar etc sync all the time, plenty of web browsing, google maps, podcasts and streaming music for last fm.
Maybe you have something installed that's doing something in the background (like your data monitor!?).
I have to agree with the OP; There are cases where one would want to not get constant updates/have constant data usage, e.g. if you travel a lot (internationally), or if you're on a low budget for a period, or if you just don't have the subscription to cover it yet.

Well, I would not start this thread if my nexus one transferes data like yours. Also whatever app I've installed, I killed all of them and still chewing up data. I know this is not the default expereice, so I wrote my exprience to see if anyone else is having similar problem and to find answers from other nexus one users who spent more time with the phone than me.

When my nexus one had setting like your nexus one (first day I received), it chewed up 70mb on that day. I would be happy if my N1 uses the data like yours.
(This is for everyone who read this thread)
By the way, why the hell people replies with their opinion about the data plan for N1? I wrote this on the other forum and I am getting completely different answers. I did not started this thread to ask how much data plan do I need for N1. Why is everyone is just saying get a more data usage plan, smartphone needs a huge data plan. Well, N1 is not my first smartphone and I know I need bigger data plan one day. But before I get a bigger data plan, I want to find out why my N1 is using more data than other users
does it have to do with the rom ur using?
maybe weather update plugin or something random like that?
why dont u try flashing it to the stock rom with no apps installed and give it a try?
I have the 200mb plan because I rarely need internet when I am in my car or out somewhere (I am just forced to sign up for a data plan obviously).
I was wondering what uses the most data from my apps? Is it the GPS(if I use it for getting directions) Is it e-mail?
I've just looked up my data usage and I have 7mb taken out of my 200mb on 12/31. I remember I was out with my wife and checked my e-mail and refreshed tweetdeck. I can't imagine that would suck 7MBs of data, would it?

Google maps would use alot of data since its downloading the map data and directions. 7 megs a day is easy to get to considering when you are syncing up to email, maps, and market.
When it checks for email, even if there is no new email, data is still used. The phone sends out a request to the email server asking if there is any new email. If nothing new is there, nothing else is downloaded. But there was still data sent over the internet to find out. Going into the market, it has to download icons, app descriptions, review info. Go onto a web page, all the content of that web page is downloaded like html, css, images, javascript, just to name some.
My Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5360 has Android version: 2.3.6. My phone isn't rooted.
Recently some unknown app is using my 2G packet data mysteriously. I am on a cheap internet plan, so this uses up good percentage of my data; though I can ignore it. But my phone becomes hot (~35° C) and obviously battery gets used up. The mysterious usage eats up data ranging between 4-20 MBs. I am unsure if it is random or just that I am lucky to notice this and stop it before it goes SPARTA.
To find out, I tried out various usage monitoring apps, but that none helped to find out which app uses the data. The overall usage in the monitoring app accounts to the used sum, but no signs of what app it is.
I just have Google account(with sync off for Picasa albums) and WhatsApp listed in my Accounts and sync settings. Both have been ON since the day I have this phone, but this thing is happening recently, so I cannot blame them. Also, I do not have much that'd get synced and use this lot of data.
I have disabled auto update of my phone and the Play Store apps.
Due to low internal memory, I have uninstalled all of the default app's(i.e Google Map, Talk, Mail etc) updates except Play Store.
For having a clear idea I will list down the apps whose services are ON on my phone:
WhatsApp
Rocket Player - com.jrtstudio.AnotherMusicPlayer
Assistant - com.speaktoit.assistant
Battery Solo Widget - net.maicas.android.batterys
Notification Toggle - de.j4velin.notificationToggle
DRM Content - com.sec.android.provider.drm
Software Update - com.wssyncmldm
Email - com.andoid.email - I do not use this. Never used it.
Google Services (2 processes and 3 services) - Cloud-to-Device Messaging service, NetworkLocationService, Google Message Service.
Messaging
SnsService
Time
SyncmlDS - com.smlds
Maps * 2 (dunno why, but I see 2)
Software update - com.sec.android.fotaclient
Swype
I had linked all the possible apps to their Play Store page for your convenience to know about the app if in case you didn't, the system didn't allow me to, it says I need minimum 10 posts, upon which I do agree.
I had a thought if the counter on my service provider's side is bugged, but I have seen the uplink and downlink symbols continuously lighted, I switch on my packet data and find a crazy amount of data getting accounted in my usage.
PS: I stay in Mumbai, India. I am on Aircel's GSM network.
Will be thankful if you can help me find a solution to this problem. I have tried to provide most the information that I thought would be helpful, please ask if you need more information.
Thanks for reading such big post.
none of those apps listed (if downloaded from the playstore) should cause large ammounts of data usage
Whatsapp out of all of them would most likely be the largest
If your phone is hot its most likey an app is running all the time stopping the phone from going to sleep (as long as you havent got the phone on charge as this will also stop phone sleeping)
you can use this app to see what app is stopping the phone from sleeping

All you can do is flash stock rom via odin and then re-test if you feel you have a rouge app
Question,
I changed phones and smart switch from my old note 4 to this new one did not transfer my settings for a few apps (Philips Hue lampshade, etc).
Is there a way I can back these up or transfer them on my non rooted note 4 to this one?
Thank
You can utilize Android Backup Service to go down data associated with one or a greater amount of your Google accounts. On the off chance that you needed to supplant your gadget or eradicate its data, you can restore your data utilizing any record that you moved down. In case you're utilizing a tablet with various clients, just the tablet's proprietor can see the backup and reset alternatives. You can use this website for know more about taxi service. munnarcalltaxi.com
This one has me stumped, and the online info is not helpful. I just started a new job and they use Google Apps for Work. They let you add your account to your own device, but because it is a state agency they are enforcing device policies on accounts - including remote wipe and app auditing abilities. I don't particularly like the idea of them knowing about every single app I have nor the fact that they can wipe my phone. I saw that there should be the ability to create a "work profile" to keep the two separate (allowing them to only see the apps installed on the work profile, and if they issue a wipe it will only nuke the work profile), but I don't seem to have the ability to create one. This is an S5 (SM-G900R7) with bone stock/non-rooted 6.0.1. The online guides say that all I should have to do is open the Device Policy app and go to the Status page, and there should be a button to create a work profile but I do not have said button. Under Policies > Shared Device Details it does say "Work Profile: Supported", so what am I missing here? All I really need is to access my email and see my calendar from that account, but even those require the device policy, so I'm at a loss..
Anyone?
