Something constantly using my Data!?

Whenever I connect to the internet on my N4, something keeps chewing up all the data bandwidth, so much so that my HSPA connection ground to a halt this morning!!
What is the best way to determine what is using up all the bandwidth without going through every single app and disabling them one by one?
Any good apps that will track this?
Please don't mention the "Data Usage" within Android Settings - to me it is almost useless!
Cheers

for me 3G watch dog and data usage gives almost similar number +-2%. Other than 3G watch dog I used phone usage from play store.
There are firewall available which makes you choose which all apps you want to use your data. (MIUI had great inbuilt option which I used year ago)

The Data Usage app built into Android 4.2 does work for you?

You can even look at a day by day usage, by touching the graph and moving the white handles around.
Set a Warning notification by moving the orange handle..

[Q] can someone explain to me about battery info?

Hi guys, I never really understood the meaning of those hours when i click on my battery status. On the pic shown, it says: 1H 10m 29s on battery. Can someone explain to me what that means? It seems very low to me, and i just got my phone 2 days ago. It is the octa-core version i9500.
I also see that media takes up most of the battery, and I dont know what that is.
Plz explain?

It just means your phone is for 1H10M29S unplugged from the power plug :fingers-crossed:
If you click on media you can see which apps are contained in media and stressing your battery.

having wifi on, and using my phone for normal usage and its allready 77% in just 1 hour... I hope the battery does improve as what some people say if you have a new device.

In 3 hours i have a loss of 7% while using Whatsapp and Instagram, 3G is activated.
Did you activate auto. Sync (Google, Facebook, Dropbox, Samsung stuff), Gestures, AirView and so on permanently? If so, please switch them off, this will help for a longer battery runtime (only if you dont need them all the time).
How a about the display brightness? automatic oder manual setting?

#offtopic What is that font & needed to root to change it?
#ontopic The time will not reset after you plug it in for a short time.

Help and what happened - aospa browser downloaded 1GB of data.

So today I got this nice notice of Android that I'm reaching my mobile data cap. So as it seems, is that the aospa browser downloaded 1GB of data in the background during the night between 1 and 2 november.

I'm very concerned on what caused this and costed me €10 of mobile data. I deinstalled the browser from /system/apps for now. I don't use the aospa browser myself, I use Google Chrome.
Can I check somewhere, or in some logs what it did and what caused it?
BTW, the data is really used, and not just a bug in the "Data Usage"-tab, as my carrier states I only got 178MB left for the month.

Have u done any speed tests for the your mobile data? Usually that eats a lot of data; even just doing one test.

No, and besides that would turn up that the speedtest app would have consumed that data, and even in the background.
Specifically the aospa browser downloaded 1.05GB in the BACKGROUND.

Thread closed so the OP can create a new one in Android Q&A, as per request.

Tab has crashed.

When I use the stock internet browser, I continuously get this THIS TAB HAS CRASHED error, which I refresh and it works fine. Its becoming annoying because it happens 10-20 times a day. Any advise would be greatly appreciated!
Phone Info:
I have a Galaxy S5 from Cricket (AT&T-USA MVNO).
Samsung-SM-G900AZ
Android 4.4.2
Baseband G900AZTUU1ANE7
The stock browser is a weird piece of software. It doesn't even have a name (just says "Internet"), no version number., doesn't say who made it (Google, Samsung or 3rd party?), doesn't have a privacy policy. But I use it because its fast and works the way a browser should. The phone is only 4 days old. Not rooted. I am pretty sure this is some sort of bug Google has placed in Android to push people to use Chrome browser instead just like Samsung is pushing people to use Samsung cloud services for Contacts, but without getting in the middle of their tug of war, I'd like to be able to use my phone properly. :good:

Anyone else having this issue? Its frustrating because it is happening 20 times a day already. When I refresh it works fine. So why doesn't the dumb app just try to refresh without my intervention?

Did you ever find a solution to this issue is is doing my nut in. Sometimes it crashes and I have to reload the tab maybe 7 or 8 times before it works as if no issues. I have a feeling it might be flash related but can't find a fix.

I am facing the same issue, people everywhere say they get 8-10 hours of sot and I am blown, the maximum I get is 6 hours that too on wifi.
For some reason my the highest drain is by whatsapp.

I'm suffering the same with WhatsApp.

Just disable all notifications of whatsapp, both on OS and on the app

Thanks you very much. Now WhatsApp consumption is back to normal.

It's funny when people judge vendor for something that is not but the issue can be junk apps like WhatsApp, I don't use that Trojan whole but anyways not the point, you should understand that you have to control the work of the apps on your device if you have them a lot, in my case I have 100 apps something and they all configured to my needs and I charge my phone once a day, that includes using it as a work tool, watch media, internet surfing, even play games sometimes, basically all they long active and no issues. If it were a global issue that would affect all of the phones but not random. Just think about it.
