Motorola Apps Data Abuse even on CM9 - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I installed CM9 on my Defy+ because I had data abuse from Motorola Apps on original ROM. Now I've installed Onavo data counter and I found out that during 4 hours of using Internet connection Motorola apps used 4 MB. In this time I receive and send a few emails and send a few messages with Whatsapp but these apps have separated counter.
Does anyone know how block motorola apps?

Are you sure that is the motorola apps that are using your mobile data? remember that google also keep collecting data from your device, things like localization and syncing with google acc.

I know that but google maps, google services, Android OS, synchronization, google play, gmail they all have own meter

Try to delete a VPN

same issue here (on my droid pro). what is motorola apps???

I use a firewall to block unwanted data usage in order to not waste any unnecessary mb. I started using Droidwall, and now am using Android Firewall, both of them are equally good, I'm just testing Android Firewall for the moment.
I block everything I do not want using data (including Kernel, due to having had Android OS use up to 143 mb once), and even games (blocks ads ), just don't block Google Play Services, or else background data won't function properly and apps like Whatsapp, for instance, won't receive messages until you open the app, or any other app that you want using a network connection.

Yep just run one of the mentioned firewall.
I also suggest to disable some of these useless apps, you can do it with Bloat Freezer for example.

[Q] Google Services background Data usage

I found that my phone run out of Mobile usage quota by the very first day of month, which GoogleServices took the most of them.
Google Contacts Sync
Google Account Manager
Network Location
Google Services Framework
Google Play Services
Foreground
51.41KB
Background
1.63GB
....wtf? I just use Google's Talk and Gmail. And no email and about 10 text Gtalk message took 1.63GB background Data flow?
Any way, I don't want to stop using Gtalk nor Gmail, but definitely want to found out the culprit that robbed my Data quota. How can I find out which app or service did that ?

[Q] Some unknown application is using a lot of packet data

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

Miss notification of every app except whatsapp

As the title i don't receive notification from almost every app except whatsapp, tried to lock them in memory give them all permission etc. still miss them until i open them like gmail facebook etc, please any help is appreciated or i have to sell this wonderful smartphone
Meizu pro 5 latest beta firmware.
Hi,
I would check your "security" application is not denying app permissions first.
If nothing else works you could try factory resetting the phone? (As long as you back your stuff up or don't mind loosing it)
I am using a Meizu Pro 5 as well and am having no problems.

I think you have to go to the Security app/ Power/App Management and there allow the apps that you want to receive notifications from.
Flyme autoclose background apps when the phone goes standby by default only few apps are allow
this worked for me…
you need to give permission to work in the sleep mode for google play service and google service framework, and the actual applications which require notification to the supplied”
Security app>Power>App management> add google play service, google service framework + applications needed (gmail, messenger, whatsapp etc.)

Greenifying google play service

hi
I have been using my Note 4 N910 h for more than one year and everything was perfect despite this annoying google service battery draining issue that i believe many are facing as well ..... it drains cellphone's battery as hell no matter what you do .
i installed Greenify and activated experimental features to be able to greenify system application including this bloody one , but i wasn't able to find it among them ..... why
any idea how to find and greenify it ? is there any other way to prevent it from draining the battery
thanks in advance
This is total guesswork, but I think "Greenifying" Google Play Services might F up your phone.
That's why it's not included on the list.
You could "App Settings" (Xposed app) and stop Google Play Services from starting up when your phone starts, but just have Nandroid backup ready.
If you look at the battery usage settings for Google Play Services, it shows the following as included packages:
Google Services Framework, Google Backup Transport, Google Account Manager and Google Play Services.
Some of those can be selected in Greenify. I'm not sure would happen if you selected them though.
Again more guesswork, are you syncing (lots of) data frequently via your Google account?
i.e. contacts, calendar, apps etc
This might fall under Google Backup Transport or Google Account Manager, which in turn falls under Google Play Services.
I denied all the stupid permissions it needed. There's an xposed module called Xprivacy, you can deny many permissions using that like keep awake and stuff. Helps, but don't mess with it that much. I don't. The guy up me is making a good point. Have a nandroid backup.

Certain apps can't access internet with mobile data while others can't. Wifi works.

Hi There,
So today i am experiencing the strangest thing. I have not touched any settings anywhere that i know of but all of a sudden:
Mainly google apps (Gmail, Drive, YouTube, Play Store, Hangouts, a Google search within Samsung Internet Browser, Google login to Flipboard function) do not get an internet connection via Mobile Data on my phone
Other apps like Dropbox, Facebook, Facebook Messanger, Internet pages in the Samsung Browser, etc) load just fine as allways
Connecting to my wifi network all the apps from point 1 load without an issue just as any other as well
I am not at my mobile data cap.
I have not touched any sort of mobile data restriction setting or any other system setting recently that could've caused this.
So what in the blue hell can cause this and how do i fix it? (Don't want to hear about doing a full phone reset because that is not something i wish to do)
Cheers
