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.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
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.

On kwiboo's V2 rom data usage seems to be working well!
You should ask in the thread of the ROM you're using, as this isn't a general Nexus S problem.
Okyie may be I'll ask in that thread?

Solved (for me)
I went back to an earlier rom where I could switch the limit off and now i got rid of the message
You can just raise the data limit on the graph as well if you like the other ROM you were on...that's what I did

I've just noticed this as I've been trying to record how much data I can get out of my carrier since they won't actually say how much.
I digress, The Data usage in ICS' settings doesn't seem to make any lick of sense. The graph/total data used summary is less than all the apps' data usage added up. This also happened before an SBF flash and start from scratch. The numbers don't add up! (See the photos for details).
So what's the beef? Does this mini app not differentiate when one service uses another for a data connection within individual app counting?
i.e. Gallery uploads a photo to Dropbox. Data usage records both as having uploaded the 3Mb photo.
i.e. Android OS uses Tethering. Data usage records both as having used 20MB...
etc.
In other words, The graph records the total used between the phone and carrier, while the individual apps record exactly what the app uses, sometimes overlapping other apps. Is this what's going on?

I think you're right about the overlapping measurement, although for me there is always a difference between provider and phone data measurement

Thanks for your input. I'm not so concerned about how much the provider records, unless they differences are night and day.
Cheers.
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..
I got the phone yesterday and rooted it.
I never even touched maps once and it used a lot of of my battery.
I might have used Google now and S voice once to try it out, maybe the maps is updating from that?
How can I stop this?

I think you just go into your maps go to settings and turn off the location services. It'll still be able to locate if you have it off.

You can also convert it to user app in Titanium Backup, and then greenify it.

more than likely its because your maps is tracking your location. for latitude or for location history. try disabling all those features within maps.
Thanks guys did the disable location thing
Someone knows what's happening here?

It might have something to do with Voice Typing. Try disabling Google Search from Keyboard Input Methods. Or try clearing the data of Android Keyboard.
I get the same issue.
Noticed it because my device got really hot and I saw all four cores constantly above 1,5 GHz (Galaxy S4).
If you look in Apps you will see that Google Keyboard is constantly starting dictionary service. Do not disable the keyboard because the device gets unusable due to Force Closes.
same problem
I have same problem with Google keyboard. Just now I restricted background data for wi-fi and mobile and I noticed that my phone cooled down very fast. I'will test it today and let you know what I found out.
Fixed problem with keyboard draining battery by restricting it's background data both on wi-fi and mobile. Before I got about 2h of SOT on full charge(100%-0%), and now I got 1h 45min SOT on 20%(100%-80%)
over 4gb.... I usually strict my data usage to certain mb. That way I don't have to worry about it. Anyway thanks for the heads up.
