Android OS background data use? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

My data use in the background by my os is using a lot of data. Is this abnormal for a week of use? Seems excessive to me
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app

My HTC one only uses about 2mb of data per day for comparison.

Att has nothing to do with it...it has to be one of your apps...something is constantly syncing/and or jot stopping its data use...I suggest a factory reset through kies or odin if rebooting the phone doesnt resolve the issue

I faced the same problem, issue was somewhat with auto backup of data, sync of app data & people details in google account,
BUT the main culprit in my case was uTorrent application.
Even though there was no torrent added to it, i didn't even opened it,
it was using 1GB data daily on WiFi and in data usage it was coming under Android OS usage. I uninstalled it, everything went back to normal.
So try to look for such apps which eat up your data in background, it may not be an error of android OS as such.
Hope this helps, Press THANKS if it did help you
Enjoy

Lol. Its a rogue/adware/spyware app. Goto application manager from settings and hunt it down. Roast it and eat it. Also, maybe uninstall it?

Defiantly a rough app.
I would suggest a wipe in such cases, this is to fully ensure elimination of the problem.

Galaxy s4 gallery keeps crashing?!?

what can I do? I go into gallery, then it's usable for 4 seconds, then closes. I've went into app info and cleared data and cache. I've wiped cache partition. nothing seems to work. it was usable yesterday. rooting has gotten me so many issues. my gallery thumbnails are over 9 gb gallery issues... please help. thanks

Ok, you're running stock firmware. Are you storing pictures on the external sdcard? I'm thinking you have a corrupted file. Are the pics backed up any where? Corrupted file would explain the large thumb nail size.

really? well uh my laptop died too.... (I'm in a MAJOR technological crisis... and to top it off, I just underwent a surgery on my foot which makes living with these issues 100X more frustrating) I'll backup all pics onto my new computer and delete my SD card and restore pics.... but the thing is, one time I'd unmounted and completely removed the SD card and it still showed a 9 gb thumbnail. how can the file get corrupted? I've never done anything to it. but the major issue I'm having right now is the gallery app crashing on me... i am able to view pics and videos through other app galleries like quick pic... but I really want to use stock gallery cause it has weather tags as well... i just like the extra details.... -_- haha. Thx and look forward to your reply.

Before you do all that, have u tried to clear gallery cashe in app manager under settings. If not it's worth a try...
thanks for trying to help, I mentioned that I already did that in the first post . I'm actually thinking of unrooting later. but idk... I mean iPhone was so much easier to use and even I thought it was an overrated phone. perhaps I should just use galaxy s4 uprooted so everything will just be bearable to use...

A lot of people have been having problems with them. I haven't paid that much attention to what the fix is other than Samsung cards seem to work. Google "64 gb SanDisk xda" and you should find threads that discuss the problem. Sorry I can't help more but I think that's your problem.

I'm not sure I understand the question. But if you restored system apps with tibu, yes it could cause problems. You should rarely if ever restore system apps. If you do a batch restore with tibu only restore missing apps and not any system data and apps.

Have a ton of crap on your phone will slow it down, and I'm assuming you already knew this. I'm going to assume that you mean your phone took a massive lag attack all of a sudden.
I'm going to say it's something in your memory that keeps launching itself. What's the last app you installed? How many apps run in the background on your phone?

I know the music player and video player also use dlna like example you can connect to wifi and stream music and videos from another device via dlna
This is nuts, it takes the equivalent of two hours screen time... And I don't even use it!
So the only way to disable it is by purchasing titanium backup?

Strangely the same thing just popped up for me. I've had the phone a week and never noticed dlna when looking at my battery stats. Today the phone appeared to be using more battery and dlna was the top offender for battery usage.
The app will not stop, I've cleared data and cache, tried to force stop and it just won't. I'm really not sure what is using it.
I added a lockscreen widget for the quick remote app yesterday night. I've removed that to see if it was causing dlna to run more, it doesn't seem like it should but who knows.

I wasn't either, but just today it started. I finally got the DLNA process to stop, going to watch closely and see if it kicks back on again.

Anyone else having lag or slow XDA app ?

Starting to really irritate me, but whether it's the free version or paid version of XDA forum app it's been extremely slow or fails to connect numerous times a day. When this is happening I can verify a good connection by surfing on the browser or other Internet apps.
I used to have a beta version of tapa talk 2 app that I loved !! Unfortunately one of the many times of flashing and messing with my HTC rebound I wiped internal and lost it. I have searched many times for it again and have never found it even though it was a free app. I Don't like the updated tapa talk app.
Yes, I've had the same problem with the app.
