Google services eating data 2+ gigs in 2 weeks! - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My Google services is burning through my data. It did it last month and now it's doing it again. I'm not sure why but it looks like it uses huge chunks on random days. Today it used almost half a gb. No clue why. Any ideas?
I'm running vanilla rootbox.

I had this issue when running a 4.2.2 ROM on my Galaxy Nexus. For some reason, some ROMs doing have the auto update disabled, so Google services is continually trying to download the 4.3 update in the background.
You can download the app 'disable service' from the play store and use it to stop that particular service.
From the app:
Go to 'system apps' tab
Then 'google services framework'
Uncheck 'system update service'
That should do the trick.
Alternatively, update to a 4.3 rom and you should be good.

be careful ! use the greenify app! maybe you have an app drinking a lot from your data!
i recommend you flash a new rom and try instead!

Yep - it's keyed off of the build signature. Just wait a few days until the market servers are updated for the new build that was OTA'd. This happens with seemingly every OTA (happened on the Nexus One as well). Mainly protected apps will be missing.
happened to me everything synced up except for apps did a factory reset and everything came back. i was pissed when all that showed were my paid apps but after the reset all apps paid and free appeared and restored on their own.
Instead of doing a total data wipe go through settings_apps_manage apps and wipe data and cache for just the market app. alot less headaches ;p

Error [app name] could not be downloaded...

I just got my Nexus 10 and was syncing with my account (downloading 50-some apps) and started getting "Error "[app name]" could not be downloaded due to an error. (Error retrieving information from server. [RPC:S-5:AEC-0]")
I have a good internet connection and I can navigate the store, surf the web, etc. but I only got a couple of apps downloaded before this message started coming up for every other app that was supposed to sync. Is anyone else getting this?
I tried a factory reset with the same result. A few apps download then the errors start flying. Very frustrating.
Thank you for this. I have also been getting the same error although I have a galaxy note 10.1. I'm guessing its most likely a server problem on Googles side.
I was just about to factory reset as well.

Seems to be working this time. (Hope I don't jinx it.) 14 apps left and it's about a quarter of the way thru the pig that is Modern Combat 3.

App Update sloooooww

Hello.
I have this problem (only with google play only with nexus7): the app updates are ssooooo slooowww (really slow...).
It's so strange. I had no problem a week ago.
I don't understand: i have tried:
-delete google account
-empty the cache of service, google play and so one + reboot...
And nothing.
The strangest thing is the other function are normal: Nexus 7 runs well, chrome runs well... all the internet services are perfect...
An idea???
Thanx
i hope im in the right section ^^
Have you checked your free space? I know my updates slow to a crawl when I am down to my last 500mb of space
i have plenty of space (32gb)...And i have some problems ONLY with google play app updates... nothing else! :crying:
up... please
So you are sure it couldn't be related to your internet connection because all the other things are running as well as before?

Try the amazing app pimp my ROM and play around with some of the settings, since I've began tinkering about my apps load even faster and my Galaxy S3 and Nexus appears to be faster

[Q] The new App Data sync. Working?

So with Google I/O finished and the new Play Store update. I'm wondering has anyone test the new App Data sync option that's under accounts? Is it just for games or all apps? I've tried it between my Nexus 7 and Droid X with no avail. No app data syncs.
Anyone have any more info for this feature or have got it to work?
I'm also very interested to know more about this. As a dev it would be a great new feature for some of my apps.
Can't find any info from Google about the subject.

At Google I/O a list of game developers who have implemented that feature was displayed. Apparently apps have to be updated to take advantage of the feature, it doesn't work for all apps. Also, it was mainly intended for the 'cloud saves' feature of Google Play Game Services, so it's mostly for games. I'm not sure if regular apps can use this feature to sync data, but that will be great if it is possible and developers start to use it.

Are the both devices set to auto-sync appdata?

Interesting. Thanks. Do you know where we can find that list?
This feature is starting to sound boring now. Basically if I factory reset my N7 and all my apps reinstall I will have to start over again with only certain games containing my hard worked progress...Android in this area is moving slow :/ .

Yes both are set.
But is there any other os (mobile or desktop) that can do that right now?
Except for Chrome-OS maybe, but that is fully cloud oriented.
Somebody pointed me to this:
http://developer.android.com/reference/com/google/android/gms/appstate/AppStateClient.html
Not sure if that is the new app data sync.

Well I guess the wait begins.. I just did a restore on my n7 and no app data was saved. So nope, not working and nope still a pain to start over. Lucky I had helium.

If you watch the Google I/O 2013 keynote, you'll see the list on screen during the app data sync announcement. Yeah this feature would have been better if it was implemented by the system itself for all apps. Currently it only works if apps explicitly allow it.

Yep and this is one thing that keeps customers on Apple side. Not worrying about lossing your high score and level you at. Pick up where you left off when you buy a new device. Delete the game? just go to the App Store and redownload it and your data is back. Sad. Wish Google would wake up already and implement it. Thank god for Helium.

I Dont know how bout Google services ended up using 1.14 GB of my data. What all does goodle services need data for?

Which ROM? I experienced this a few days back on CM10.1. Turns out it was trying to download and install the OTA. There's a thread in the general section as well titled something along the lines of "Google Services Massive Data Usage" with steps on how to prevent the phone from downloading the OTA repeatedly.

Same problem here so I've downloaded FOTAKill.apk and placed it in the folder said. Not sure if it works yet as I only did it a couple of hours ago.
