Hi XDA,
So I've have my Milestone 2 for two days and installed only a handful of apps from the Market.
However I just noticed my data usage is ~350MB with most of that usage from "Gallery" - as listed in Data in Settings.
Looking in the Gallery app and there were about 6 images of chinese characters from websites like sina.cn that I didn't put there.
And their creation date was from a day ago at 4:34am :/
Any ideas suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi, I am going to flash the new DFT freedom ROM later today to my HTC Mozart. is there an app that allows me to list all currently installed apps and games so i can easily search them later? the Zune purchase history doesn't really help as i don't have most of these apps installed anymore.
regards

I agree... such thing would really be useful. I also need such a thing also for my ipad!
I bump this question to know if TODAY something similar would exist ...
So : is there any app than can list all currently installed app on the device ?
There is an app called "reinstaller" in the marketplace. It however does not list installed application but a list of all apps ever "purchased".

And the worst thing it that this app lists also all the times you updated an application...
So I have noticed since buying my HOX, "Android OS" consistently uses several hundred (anywhere from 100-500MB) megabytes of data every month. This is really annoying considering I only have 3GB a month. It uses more data than facebook or the browser! I am rooted on 1.73, and removed some ATT bloat through titanium backup, no other modifications. But if I remember correctly, it was doing this even before these modifications. Any idea what could be the culprit?

If you've setup Android to transfer all data to the cloud, you may just be transferring a massive amount of contacts or Wi-Fi passwords. If all of your contacts have pictures on them, this could be part of the problem.
However, 500 MB is a bit excessive. Time to do some troubleshooting!
I do have my contacts set to sync, along with gmail, calendar, the weather(every 3 hours), etc. My pictures come from facebook, so shouldnt that data come up under the facebook app? And since my billing cycle started on the 27th, I have used a total of 298MB, and 153MB of that is Android OS. And I have set the Play store to update over wifi only
I was having this issue as well. I went to Setting > Privacy > Backup Settings, and checked it off. I think it was backing up everything on my phone including podcasts in downloaded in the pocket cast app.
Since then the Android OS data usage has not increased.
I have auto sync turned off. I also think the respective programs that sync show up separately.
Hope this helps.
Did some more searching today, someone else also mentioned that turning off "back up my settings" severely decreased data usage by android os. Thanks for the tip gert260. I'll report back to see if that fixes it. Currently at 153MB

That could be some APP showing as Android OS instead of the actual APP.... that happened to me with JANGO (Radio APP) I noticed that my Android OS was using a lot of DATA but Jango was using a few KB... I did a test and I confirmed that it was this app... WEIRD! because on my tablet it shows the correct amount of data. If you use a streaming APP you can do a quick test
The last option says it all. It says app data and settings I would assume that it should go down if some apps aren't being used and being updated. My thought is that the os is updating these settings and data even though their not being used. I personally haven't had the phone more than a month so I cannot confirm this. I will update when I can.

I wanted to make this thread for people like myself who, no matter what the circumstances, find themselves scavenging the playstore, forum, or internet for new and usefull apps. If your like me you constantly find yourself running out of disk space on your phone. What do you do to combat this? Tips and tricks, or even cool and unique android apps can be posted here.
What i use to combat low internal space:
Titanium backup
Force 2 sd
Ghostify
Go check them out

Hello, I use Google Current as my digital magazine and newspaper but I don't know why and when this handy app starts to drain my data (WiFi). In the past, I knew that this app use lots of data compared to other apps but recently its really starts to "conquer" my data plan. In fact, yesterday, when I check the data usage of my apps in 3G watch, I saw that Google Current uses about 1.05GB (84% of total data consumption of the phone) of data per day with extremely light use (I never opened it except one but I killed the app just right after). And when I check the data consumption of the phone of last 30days, it was even stunning: 91% of total usage is occupied by only Google Chrome it selves. Can anyone tell me why this app is so hungry? The only reason I could explain this is because I had lots of news feed subscription, when I opened the app, it may download EVERYTHING including picture and stuff even that I didn't pin them. Am I correct? Is this a bug? Do I really turn of the auto sync? Thanks.

I'm using a stock, un-rooted Droid Maxx on Verizon, and recently I have noticed a few apps in the list of what's using my data that are named a negative number, for example "-13616", and they use only background data. The worst offender using 211mb, the next using 17mb. All in one day. There are about 5 or 6 more all using These seem like they must be malware. And as of starting this post, the smaller offenders have now disappeared and moved most likely to the removed apps tag. What do I do? And why in 2014 can't I long press on an app in a list within the android OS and get the option to go to said app as if you had pressed it from the app list? Screenshot attached.

Some perhaps silly questions: Have you tried running an AV app like Avast, Lookout, or AVG to see if anything gets flagged? Have you installed apps/games from untrustworthy sources?
Maybe a factory reset is in order.

you can disable the apps which you don't use.....
And if there is an app "" mobiwol ( no root firewall)"" which is a firewall app like windows firewall on windows....
And if you want more features there are others firewall apps but those require root
