Is there an alternative to 3g watchdog it is definitely not calculating my usage correctly and this could potantially be very costly for me, unfortunately an unlimited data plan in this recession hit country is like everything else way too expensive so i just pay 69 cents a day for 50MB and if i go over then (which i have done before) they charge you a fortune which is why i use 3g watchdog which incidentally used to run fine on my old HD2 but since ive got the GS2 it's been constanly wrong if i send a text to check my balance which ive just done i can see ive used 41.69MB so far today yet 3g watchdog tells me ive only used 20.69 that is over half so imagine i forgot to send a text to get my balance and just keep surfing the net,suddendly i discover all my credit is eaten up, Meteor don't care they aint in the business of warning people who go over their 50MB daily limit which is why it's imperative i have the correct usuage.
Sorry for the long post but you can see my prediament.

I used two software's which are/were precise.
1- Data Counter Widget
2- Traffic Counter
If there are any other precise counter apps out there, please let us know.
Thanks for the recommendations, ive no idea why 3g watchdog is calculating the usage incorrectly as with my old HD2 it was always spot on, anymore recommendations/tips appreciated.
give a look into droidwall also. it'll let you block off apps that you don't want using data over 3g
I have been using 3G watchdog on android for 2 years now, and its always been perfect for me, so long as you set it up correctly (and so long as your not forcing it to close...) it will calculate for you.

the funny thing is it worked perfectly with my HD2 it was always spot on but has not worked properly with the GS2, i have even reset it a few times and cleared the counters but it's still wrong, i have it set to 50MB a day to warn me @ 95% quota and to auto disable 3G via juice defender at 98% quota,when im in the UK i use Giff Gaff and no problems with unlimited data but here i cannot go over 50MB or will be charged a fortune.
I suppose ill try some more recommended apps and see hopw i go from there.
ZDBox is a good app and also breaks down usage per app so you can quickly figure out any rogue apps that are using too much data.
Does your wireless provder offer an app or at least a way to check your usage through the web? My carrier does which helps get an idea of where my usage is and could help if yours does too

Yeah Meteor has an app but it only lets you see how many calls and texts you've made nothing for data unfortunately , i just send a text to 50104 with "balance data" and it sends me a text back with my balance,sometimes straight away other times it takes up to an hour

Have you ever had a problem with it keeping the phone awake when screen is off? Not totally sure its the culprit as uninstalled/froze a lot of apps before this problem disappeared.
Wondering what settings you'd recommend?
[Q] "Google Services" app suddenly started using unusually high background data
Please see the attached screenshots of data usage for the past three weeks. Two weeks ago I noticed a steep increase in the amount of background data used by Google Services, from the usual 1 ~ 2MB per week to something as high as 16MB per week. From what I can tell using 3G Watchdog, the majority is outbound traffic. I'm a light data user, only turning on 3G when I'm in transit for 2 hours a day to check email and chat on Hangouts. I don't recall changing anything significant on my phone in that period, aside from app updates and upgrading to 4.3 on the 24th. I'm on a light data plan, with only 100MB monthly quota, so this increase is very significant for me. Right now I have the restrict background data option enabled for Google Services to try to curb this new problem, but I'd still like to know what's going on.
to be honest, that usage is very normal, and still considered not much. anything can cause it to go up this little, yes it only went up a tiny bit. your usage, syncing, background notification checks.. id suggest more that 100mb for any smartphone as 100mb isnt really realistic for a smartphone.

Yes, it went up a tiny bit in absolute terms, but relatively this is huge. We're talking about 1000% of what was normal for that app, without change in my usage pattern. I hear you though. 100MB a month is crazy low these days, but for what I use my phone for, it had been more than enough for the past 7 months that I've had the phone. I usually end up with 20 ~ 30MB to spare every month.

Haha, yeah, my friends on unlimited data couldn't believe it either when I told them I survived on 100mb. They use that up streaming a short youtube video. I'm in wifi range for most of the day. When I'm not, I keep it to emails, text chats, and the occasional live transit locator. On the rare occasion when I do browse the web on the go, I use Opera Mini to compress the traffic. It's definitely doable :silly:
I have the same problem as the OP, only my data usage is 450MB in under an hour. This has never used more than 2-3MB per day in all the time I've had an Android phone. I didn't even realize it till I got a message from my service provider saying I have used 80% of my monthly limit. :crying:
On checking data usage, I found the culprit to be Google Services, under which I see Play Services, Services Framework, Account Manager, Contacts Sync, Network Location and Bookmarks Sync. Is there anyway I can find out which of these 6 caused the data download?
My location access is disabled, and so is my App update over mobile data. My gmail and contacts sync are enabled, but I doubt if that would take 450Mb.
I have now restricted background data, but I sure would like to know the reason for this sudden spurt in data usage.
TIA
Some people are reporting around 180Mb/day data wasted by Google Services since 4.3 OTA was launched. Remember the size of the 4.3 OTA update is exactly 179Mb. MOST (if not all) the affected are using custom ROMs.
Can it be the cause? Maybe the OTA is being downloading again and again but it can't finish the installation process due some reason, possibly related with custom ROMs / Kernels / whatever.

I'm on stock everything, although I did manually flash 4.3. If it's downloading the OTA repeatedly, then it's doing it really slowly for me (like 2MB/hour). That's an interesting theory though.

my case appears to be the worst among the bunch: Google Services used 4.4 GBs of data since the 27th
I'm on a cm10.1 nightly on a galaxy nexus and over the last 2 days google services has eaten 300+mb of data (approx 180 the first day then 120 the second until I hit my limit). The 4.3 OTA may very well be causing this problem.
Is this a widespread problem? How can we fix it?

******* I'm having the exact same problem! my phone has used almost 500mb in the past day and now I only realised when my data provider sent me a warning message!
just lost 735MB in 3 days! nexus 4 CM 10.1.0-RC2
that's gonna cost me...
Just an update on my phone's situation:
Yesterday I flashed the phone back to stock 4.2.2 (including userdata, so everything was wiped), then upgraded to stock 4.3 again using the Google update service this time (I manually flashed 4.3 last time). I then did a factory reset and wiped cache. Initially the "Android OS" app ate up 6MB of 3G data in an hour without me using the phone at all, but all data usage is now back to normal after I turned off wifi network location service. I'm not entirely sure what did the trick, but I backed up and restored all my apps after the wipe using Titanium, so it's unlikely that a third party app was the culprit. I'll keep an eye out to see if the problem does come back, but for now it seems to be fixed. Not sure how this would help those of you running CM rom.
System Update Issue
I've noticed this same issue since i updated all my Google Play applications last 07/30. Before the update, I did not have this high bandwidth consumption.
Anyways, i've been researching in my phone and tried the following solutions:
First, I restricted Google Services background data, this did not work, it was still consuming my data. So I kept researching and found something interesting, i went to About Phone - System Update, and noticed my phone was consistently trying to update to 4.3 JB (which is 183 MB), and after the download was complete, then a "verification failed" error message was displayed.
At this point, i thought, This is probably the cause i've been losing all of my data. I am running ParanAndroid along with franco kernel for some time, maybe this is the reason the update is failing.
So, a rough solution i did to this meanwhile: Go to Settings -> Apps -> All and disable Google Services Framework, this will ensure that the update is not constantly being downloaded, however, many Google applications will have issues.
Try switching off Wifi and Mobile network location in the settings.

I just checked the system updates tab in my settings and it keeps redownloading 4.3 due to it not being able to install correctly. It is redownloading the rom again and again. Does anyone know how to disable the OTA?
Hi All,
This is my first post on XDA and I hope that I'm posting in the right place!
I have a Nexus 4, 4.4.2 which has never been rooted. For what it's worth, I've always run AV software (Lookout from day 1, subsequently Kaspersky) and only downloaded from the Play Store. (I have always had 'Unknown Sources' unticked). I'm pretty careful with permissions.
In hindsight (a wonderful thing) things started shortly after one of the Kitkat OTA updates. Not absolutely sure which…
One evening, my lock screen clock suddenly showed my time as 3 hours ahead (i.e. Moscow: I'm in the UK) along with a rectangle giving my home time zone time. I googled the symptoms and it seemed widely reported so I just put it down to an update bug and carried on.
However, I've recently been having large, unexplained, data spikes in seemingly innocuous programs. Specifically, I had a 6GB spike attributed to Opensignal. I uninstalled Opensignal, but the data use continued, albeit on a smaller scale, reported in Data Usage as 'Removed Apps'. This was definitely data use *after* the program was removed: I altered the sliders to focus on the time after uninstall.
To be on the safe side, I gritted my teeth and performed a factory reset and altered my important passwords.
However, this is happening again.
'Removed App' data use has started increasing once more and have just had another large data spike attributed to, of all things, Kaspersky. Over 600MB in a day. All data is now turned off, but possibly too late?
Do I have to assume that the phone is well and truly hacked? If so, am I going to have to unlock and root the phone and side load a factory image from Google, or is there an easier route?
Many thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers,
Edward.

I know you probably isn't going to like this, but for the most part, apps like Kaspersky and lookout does a lot of phoning home, thus use a lot of data. Some will say they are useless, but that's a judgment call. I have tried them but usually end up getting rid of them.
I don't know OpenSignal so I can't really speak on it. What's it used for?
Sent from my Nexus 7 (2013)
no silly Malware are for Windows. You said Kaspersky? lol.... anyway seems like an app issue. I always enable > set mobile data limit to certain MB / GB. Try checking other apps aswell like (Google Plus, Facebook) disable auto photo sync.
To Factory Reset:
1. Backup your files from your sd card.
2. Download Nexus 4 4.4.2 (KOT49H) image from here.
3. Extract it using Winrar or 7zip.
4. Connect the Nexus 4 to your computer and run *Flash-all.bat*
5. Let it do its magic.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
Opensignal is a crowd-sourced mobile/wifi signal mapping app.
Can't post a link yet (only 1 post!) but if you Google it... Had it installed for ages and didn't use more than a few kB a day, as one would expect.
Really think it's something deeper than this, because programs are continuing to use data after uninstall and, although AV programs use a fair bit of data, half a gig for just definition updates seems silly.
Cheers.

My suggestion would be to wipe your dalvik, cache and at the extreme your data, but you're not rooted.
The AV app(s) does a lot more than check for definition updates. They also check out the websites that you visit as well. That could account for the data used.
I'm not aware of an app that could wipe the mentioned partitions without root. Maybe someone else might know?

Update -
Issue is resolved. Call Tmobile and have them disable the Binge On feature from you plan and have them reset your cell connection. I have done this and can confirm the issue is fixed.
So, flashing the Pure Nexus Rom has given me some proof on some shady stuff going on the Tmobile network, thanks to the feature which shows your real time data speed in the notification bar.
I am an unlimited data customer, and as of a few days ago, I cannot watch an HD video on Youtube without lag, which is weird because Tmobile in Dallas is very fast, like 50+ mbps. I have always watched 2k video without any issues.
I noticed that whenever I run any video app like Hulu, Netflix, or YouTube... the download speed will not go above 1.5 mbps. Whenever I do anything else, like download an app or run a speed test, it goes much faster.
Look that these screenshots... this is some serious BS going on! I can confirm that the 1.5mpbs speed cap is also happening on Netflix and Hulu, but I cannot take screenshots in those apps because the apps block that.
Anyone else on the Tmobile unlimited data plan experiencing this BS?
Wonder if it's related..
http://www.theverge.com/2015/11/24/9792126/t-mobile-uncarrier-unwrapped-free-unlimited-data
When I talk to customer service... They give me some bs that they cannot accept my problem because my Nexus 6p is not a tmobile phone. I hit them back with the fact that my brother has a tmo galaxy s5 and it's doing the same crap to him. We are on the same plan.
It could be binge on. It detects that you're streaming and does some tmo magic maybe throttle to "optimized streaming video" they said there was a way to request to have it disabled. I didn't think YouTube was part of binge on though.
That's what I think also. But I remember that youtube was part of the Binge

It's actually not part of the binge on program, it's something that they said they were trying to work with Google on.
It could just simply be you went past your monthly 'unthrottled' limit and are now deprioritized when streaming video, possibly.

I called and they confirmed that I have not gone past my limit and that I should not be throttled in any way
I've used only 11gb so far, and throttling occurs at around 20gb
I was just in Hawaii, where T-Mobile isn't that great and had no issues streaming the TWC app. It would lag and stutter initially, but would be fine after a few seconds. This was on my Note 4 before I got my 6P though. I was getting about 20mbps down on LTE.
I would check your settings on your T-Mobile account. Binge On was turned on automatically for all customers, so log onto your account, go to profile, turn off the setting and see if that helps. I attached a screen shot so you can see what the settings look like.
Welcome to the uncarrier, who decides how you use your data...
Try to go through a VPN, then stream your video again. If it changes then you know it's a throttling issue. But don't just try it in one area, sometimes there is congestion.

Thanks for this tip!
I changed the setting. Now let's see if it fixes my issue.
Just turn Binge On off on your account. It's enabled by default, and it "optimizes" your video so you use less data, but it means the quality suffers. Only certain services don't count against your data, but all video is optimized with Binge On enabled.
On VZW UDP... I've noticed that (what seems to be in the last few months) when on cellular, YouTube automatically defaults to very low resolution video... Like 144p or 240p. I have to click the options and manually change the resolution. It looks like you've done your homework, just figured I'd throw this out there or at least share that I'm experiencing something similar with VZW.

I never have to change mine. Sometimes/most times It starts off a low resolution but after a bit it changes automatically. Other times it just starts off at 1080p.
I resolved the issue!
I called tmobile, they confirmed that the binge on feature has been disabled on my account, and they reset my connection. When it came back up, this is the speed I'm getting o youtube.
Looks like YouTube is also on the binge on feature.
Thanks all for this, trying this setting change now.

As I said above, YouTube can be optimized with Binge On for reduced data use, but it's not part of the free streaming.
Hey everyone
I've been having some battery drain that I cannot nail down
It appears to be Google Play services that is the culprit.
It's preventing the device from going to sleep. According to ekxm as of now my wake time is 40%.
This is after a factory reset in stock recovery.
Running OB3 on bluspark
It seems to only really happen when on cellular. Last night before going to bed and not touching my phone for hours it was sitting at like 6%.
I don't know what else to do to track this down.
Any help would be appreciated.

It's anything being backed up?
I've had an issue where WhatsApp and Google photos was backing up, so not really an issue but it annihilates the battery and it is backing up to Google.
If it's Google play services going a bit mental then just uninstall updates or clear data..
If it's restoring or backing up then just let it finish.
PS: After you wiped, I'd avoid installing any kernels just to see what your experience is at stock.
Do you have any other modules installed?
These are the versions I'm using.
No modules at all.
Photos backs up yes.
But why would it do that on cellular. I wiped on Saturday and everything was fine Saturday night and Sunday all day when I was at home. Now that I'm out at work on cellular it does this

Seems I don't have all the info I'd need to tell you.
Jump back to stock, root by all means but avoid restoring apps and installing kernels, vpns etc. Then reinstall bit by bit.
That's the only real way you're going to find out what's taking your battery.
Seeing as you're using blu spark, I'd say ask the creator of it, good luck with that.

Seems you have BBS, ex kernel all watching the battery..
Disable the stats from ex, uninstall BBS, get rid of anything else you don't need.... Leave your WiFi on, let anything finish that needs to finish.
Then once it's settled, let's see then whats at the top of the list in the OnePlus battery stats, no need for an app.
Did you compare Google play store and services versions with the ones I posted?

So is probably not the play store, it'll be something you've installed. I've little to no doubt.
As I've said go back to stock, root and then see how you are.
Then bit by bit bring back your apps and mods.

Just leave if for a while, so if any restoring or backing up is going on it'll complete, that's what it sounds like..
Turn off any auto updates or auto back ups for OnePlus and for play store, or diagnostics within apps..
Also make sure you've optimised apps within system settings.
Can't think what else it could be

I don't have anything OnePlus enabled for back ups etc.
All my 3rd party apps are optimized.
This is extremely frustrating. On a device that should be getting me 6+ hours of screen time. I barely get 4 with all this additional drain.
And all this is even after a factory reset. Using the same apps I've always used without any prior issues.

You say it's after a factory reset yet you've gone ahead and rooted again and have all your apps installed and a kernel plus a vpn? It's obvious that what you've installed is causing the problem
Clear the cache and data of your play services, google framework, and play store. Usually of there is something causing an issue for me clearing the cache of those apps is enough to fix the issue.

Adguard (not the adguard vpn, just the local adguard that operates as a vpn) does not drain battery. If anything it reduces battery usage as it uses less data. That is not the problem.

Really? So a process trying to load something over and over again can't cause battery drain? Yes it can....I've seen it before.
I've already stated what needs to be done, it's up to him if he chooses to follow that.

He showed that is something to with Google play services that is causing the issue. Considering that adguard is not connected to Google play services, it has nothing to do with it. Nothing in his images shows adguard as causing an issue. Which BBS would show if it was causing an issue. Your instructions were for a generic problem that someone who hadn't diagnosed the issue might use of they were trying to figure out the culprit. He had the issue diagnosed using BBS as google play services. Adguard does not rely on google play services for anything.

Advert could be linking to a Google play advert or app, I don't know what it is but I've seen drain from an ad blocker before..
My point being why try one thing at a time.. and as I've said several times now, get back to stock and install bit by bit so find the culprit.
Google play links to everything installed, I had already said to clear data, that was one of the first things I said. What you're completely missing is the trigger, he's factory wiped his phone, yet it's reoccurred..
Why would you think they wiping the data to Google play would fix it permanently? You're simply treating a symptom, not the cause.
My instructions were not for a generic problem, in actual fact yours were. You're seeing the problem as Google play whereas that does not reflect the cause. Just the outcome.
Either way, I've given my two cents, do what you will.
Thanks for all the input guys
I had done wipe of storage and caches for play services , store, and everything linked to that.
I think the culprit was ob3
I decided to roll back last night to a10 and then go to staples a11 and the issue appears to not have come back. Even thought I have all the same apps and settings.
So something with play services might not be playing nice with ob3. It could just be me or not. IDK.
At least for now. It's been 12 hours since I loaded stable a11 on and I'm sitting at 1.4 % idle drain according to exkm. This is with 50% wifi and cellular. I'm going to wait a while more before I fully say it's gone until it's been a couple days to regular usage for things to settle
36 hours so far. And all is well so far. At 1.15% idle drain today.
