Mobile network restriction?! - Huawei P8 Questions & Answers

Hi,
I own a Huawei P8 that runs on B370.
From time to time I get this pop-up message when opening an app that asks me if I want to remove the data restriction. Offcourse I choose to remove the restriction. But that doesn't seem to help. I've added some screenshots (in dutch).
Things i've noticed while on data connection:
Google apps don't work
Synchronization problems in google-account
Gmail (+others) asks to sign in, but when pressing the button it doesn't
No location services
Tethering/hotspot doesn't work probably due to no access
Some apps (snapchat, etc.) don't load or pushes notifications
While other apps run smoothly on my data network...
On wifi no problems!!
I don't want to do a full reset of my phone, so I hope somebody knows how to fix this!
Thanks!

Try updating to B380. There are some changes to data management ui. Before that you can clear the data of System manager app.

[Q] Some unknown application is using a lot of packet data

My Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5360 has Android version: 2.3.6. My phone isn't rooted.
Recently some unknown app is using my 2G packet data mysteriously. I am on a cheap internet plan, so this uses up good percentage of my data; though I can ignore it. But my phone becomes hot (~35° C) and obviously battery gets used up. The mysterious usage eats up data ranging between 4-20 MBs. I am unsure if it is random or just that I am lucky to notice this and stop it before it goes SPARTA.
To find out, I tried out various usage monitoring apps, but that none helped to find out which app uses the data. The overall usage in the monitoring app accounts to the used sum, but no signs of what app it is.
I just have Google account(with sync off for Picasa albums) and WhatsApp listed in my Accounts and sync settings. Both have been ON since the day I have this phone, but this thing is happening recently, so I cannot blame them. Also, I do not have much that'd get synced and use this lot of data.
I have disabled auto update of my phone and the Play Store apps.
Due to low internal memory, I have uninstalled all of the default app's(i.e Google Map, Talk, Mail etc) updates except Play Store.
For having a clear idea I will list down the apps whose services are ON on my phone:
WhatsApp
Rocket Player - com.jrtstudio.AnotherMusicPlayer
Assistant - com.speaktoit.assistant
Battery Solo Widget - net.maicas.android.batterys
Notification Toggle - de.j4velin.notificationToggle
DRM Content - com.sec.android.provider.drm
Software Update - com.wssyncmldm
Email - com.andoid.email - I do not use this. Never used it.
Google Services (2 processes and 3 services) - Cloud-to-Device Messaging service, NetworkLocationService, Google Message Service.
Messaging
SnsService
Time
SyncmlDS - com.smlds
Maps * 2 (dunno why, but I see 2)
Software update - com.sec.android.fotaclient
Swype
I had linked all the possible apps to their Play Store page for your convenience to know about the app if in case you didn't, the system didn't allow me to, it says I need minimum 10 posts, upon which I do agree.
I had a thought if the counter on my service provider's side is bugged, but I have seen the uplink and downlink symbols continuously lighted, I switch on my packet data and find a crazy amount of data getting accounted in my usage.
PS: I stay in Mumbai, India. I am on Aircel's GSM network.
Will be thankful if you can help me find a solution to this problem. I have tried to provide most the information that I thought would be helpful, please ask if you need more information.
Thanks for reading such big post.
none of those apps listed (if downloaded from the playstore) should cause large ammounts of data usage
Whatsapp out of all of them would most likely be the largest
If your phone is hot its most likey an app is running all the time stopping the phone from going to sleep (as long as you havent got the phone on charge as this will also stop phone sleeping)
you can use this app to see what app is stopping the phone from sleeping

All you can do is flash stock rom via odin and then re-test if you feel you have a rouge app

Miss notification of every app except whatsapp

As the title i don't receive notification from almost every app except whatsapp, tried to lock them in memory give them all permission etc. still miss them until i open them like gmail facebook etc, please any help is appreciated or i have to sell this wonderful smartphone
Meizu pro 5 latest beta firmware.
Hi,
I would check your "security" application is not denying app permissions first.
If nothing else works you could try factory resetting the phone? (As long as you back your stuff up or don't mind loosing it)
I am using a Meizu Pro 5 as well and am having no problems.

I think you have to go to the Security app/ Power/App Management and there allow the apps that you want to receive notifications from.
Flyme autoclose background apps when the phone goes standby by default only few apps are allow
this worked for me…
you need to give permission to work in the sleep mode for google play service and google service framework, and the actual applications which require notification to the supplied”
Security app>Power>App management> add google play service, google service framework + applications needed (gmail, messenger, whatsapp etc.)

Facebook and gmail not updating in power save mode (in foreground)

Seem to have narrowed this problem down to power saving mode. At times Gmail seems to stop sending push notifications of new emails in the backgroind and Facebook will not update the home feed at all when opening it and forcing refresh (just says can't connect right now). This is all temporarily fixed by disconnecting then reconnect the data connection... Very annoying, anyone else have this issue? I know power saving mode is supposed to turn off background data but when the app is in the foreground it should be useable lol...

I am having the exact same issue, went to the carrier and they blamed Samsung. We uninstalled Gmail, reinstalled, updated it and then reconfigured my email accounts still nothing. It is doing the same for a regular email account and Facebook. You have to kill/close all apps and restart gmail and FB to get messages to refresh.
Quicker workaround is to have the app (either fb/Gmail) open and disable then re-enable your internet connection.
You'll soon notice it starts affecting other apps as well.
We really shouldn't need to be doing this for a phone this expensive. Will try contacting Samsung
It must be a software issue with power save mode messing up the apps connection to data. I'm just surprised no one else is having the same issue
I am also having this issue with Facebook, Messanger and other apps just hanging with no connection! Seems to be related to power save mode which blocks background data.
On my htc one m8, I had problems with gmail not getting push notifications only after upgrading to marshmallow. Switched to the outlook app and didn't have that problem. I'm doing the same thing on my s7. Seems like some apps are "dozed" more aggressively than others in marshmallow...

Power saving mode in marshmallow for Samsung devices disables background data, if you long press the power save button it shows that it does so, you need to have power save disabled to sync stuff.

Not just talking about syncing I'm talking about opening an app (e.g. Facebook) in the foreground and it no longer functions because it somehow lost connection to data. Manually refreshing your timeline is not considered background data or syncing
I had this issue and I called up SAMSUNG+ Exclusive support and they were able to help me with steps to get my facebook App works in powersaving mode. All you have to do is Setting---> Application--> Application Manager --> select Facebook--->select Storage --> press Clear Cache.
This solved my issue in my Verizon s7 edge.

[GT-S6102B] DownloadManager consuming my 3g background

Hi all,
I'm using my old S6102 while my cell phone doesn't return the warranty. I have seen that my daily 3g data packet (50MB) has finished very fast, and only use whatsapp. Some background process is consuming my 3g. I installed the program Mobile Counter to monitor my network.
The process appears as Download Manager and too android.process.media, consuming 45MB, sometimes download, sometimes upload. But I have no way of knowing, what is being transferred.
Do you know of any method how to find it?
May be the google play service app trying to silently be installed by the google play store, but after I installed whatsapp, I did not see the installation attempt, when it installed, it appeared that the system was low memory.
I set Google Play Store for isn't to update automatically, and installed root to uninstall some programs useless and after unroot.
My rom is the stock, already did wipe data, after and their updates, all ok. After did download the apk from samsung site for updated the google play store, but the problem continues.
I set in:
General sync settings
Background data - marked
Auto sync - marked
Backup and restore
Back up my data - unmarked
Automatic restore - unmarked
Does anyone know what is consuming my 3g internet?
Thanks! Help me!

Screen Wake from FB Messenger

Phone screen just flickers on and off when I get FB notifications. Seems like a glitch.
When this happens, is the phone in vibration mode? Other possibility is that you may have set a screen passcode recently and in the process also enabled hide sensitive notifications and it is possible that it may be interfering for phone to wake up on certain notifications. Are the FB messages from messenger present when you do wake the screen or do they show up right after you wake up the screen? You may have changed the phone sync settings or if you have enabled power saving mode, phone may not be checking for notifications from certain apps or in intervals or both, or if you or another app have disabled facebook messenger from syncing or changed background data settings (for example datally is an app from google helps save data if you don't have unlimited plan but in the process it disables most apps from connecting to internet by default).
I would suggest go in settings, then apps, then tap on three dots on top right, enable 'show system apps', then look for any apps related to facebook, click on each one go to 'storage' then 'clear data'. Make sure you do this for all of them before you go back into FB or messenger. You will have to log in FB again and it is quite possible that this will fix the issue if settings were the cause. (Edit: Try uninstall and reinstall the app). If it doesn't work, and you have checked through all the possibilities above, you may have to do a factory reset, setup the phone again and reinstall FB and Messenger app first then install a few apps at a time to try and catch any apps that might be responsible. One last possibility that i can think of is that it is also possible a recent update to the app by FB may have caused this bug instead of you or your phone.

That's an interesting point you make, because the phone is doing just that - The phone isn't actually vibrating until I hit the screen and wake it. So they're essentially showing up right after I wake the screen. This is despite the fact that the message was sent minutes beforehand, so it would've been received by all accounts. Appreciate the help!

Very likely you have the Battery saver feature turned on. When it is on, among other things, the background activity and data of apps get restricted. I am very sure that this is the cause for the issue you are having. You can either turn off Battery saver mode or add FB Messenger to the Power saving exclusions list to get your FB push notifications back.
Appreciate all the help man!
Great thank you!
