Android OS background data use?

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

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

Ram Usage

My ram is always at like 500 and I can't get it down and it slows my phone down and I can't pinpoint what it is. Thanks for the future help

Just kidding the issue persists
Sent from my XT907 using xda app-developers app

I usually eliminate / remove the background processes of the apps I'm not using or don't consider top priority for notifications and etc.
And if the service restarts then force close / freeze

If your on a stock rom this seems pretty consistent with the ram usage I'm looking at with nothing frozen on stock.

He's ^^^ correct. RAM usage shouldn't slow down your phone, if it's reasonable, and it is. One of the apps is causing the issue, not the amount of RAM being used. Android is designed to stack RAM.

I'm on cm10 and I don't have that many apps installed but look:

I use Clean Master to clean my cache and now I constantly get this error message whenever I try and access my photos under Gallery. How can I fix this?

Well its a known issue thats caused by wiping data/cache of the gallery app. The fix is usually a simple reboot.
Is clean master running in the background and constantly wiping the cache or something?

It works when I reboot, but I'm wondering if I use a different cache app. I use the app 2-3 times daily.

Just make sure that Gallery isnt running when you wipe the cache. (swipe it out of recent apps)

It's been a month and I have tons of apps and now the phones all of a sudden lagging. Anyone else notice this?

Like everything lags or just particular apps/functions (sms, recent apps, etc)? Have you tried wiping cache in recovery?

R u rooted and do u have a recovery?
How about using the built in memory cleaner that frees up ram.add a swap along with your ram.I guess more info is needed to help u

Use holo launcher hd as ur default launcher....im convinced touchwiz has leaks
I havr advanfed task killer installed and let it run idling. ...normally I never use it but on the rare super lag I kill everything in memory (I.e. no auto kill as normally android does better memory management on its own)

Are you using Greenify (if rooted)?

i mean yeah it works and all but it doesnt mean it stops the lag lol...

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?
