I had my galaxy nexus for a month and I couldn't stand sprint( even tho they have "unlimited data") so recently moved to T-Mobile whihapperently had best coverage . And I like the service for the time that I had it so far so I was checking my data usage and i saw the Android data usage is really high never happened on my nexus so I was wondering if anyone have any idea what could have been using ? Thanks

I've been having a similar problem on the two Moto Defys in my family. Onavo Count shows Motorola Blur as using data at the rate of tens of MBs per day even though no apps requiring data were being used. I confirmed the total handset usage with Tmobile and then tried using Go Launcher EX instead of Blur, and sure enough the mysterious data usage disappeared. I still have no idea why a stock launcher would do such a thing, but everything points to it. You're problem may be completely different, but I'd start looking into alternative system apps if it persists after a hard reset.

I know this is an old thread, but in case it comes up in a search for someone else, I had this problem and it was solved easily. I didn't turn off my sync for gmail, etc. I just went to Settings>Privacy> and un-checked the option to back up my settings. I think my phone was using cellular data to back up my apps and all their settings to google's cloud, which was causing my data use to skyrocket. Un checking that box solved it.

I've had this on other android devices before but never this bad. Under network usage, the top item is consistently "0". Clicking on it results in FC. I just went to CM7. I dont think the issue came back until I reinstalled all of my apps. I used a network monitor when I was stock rooted and never saw anything unusual. Anyone have any ideas? I have a feeling it is killing my battery.

Bump. I have the same issue. If I click on the item labeled 0, it force closes.

Can you give me a list of all of your apps? Maybe we have a culprit in common.
Bump.......
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk
I have the same. I believe it is all non system apps lumped together as I don't have any of them listed like I did on my n1. I think the system isn't representative of individual app use for data or battery. The battery history normally lists apps associated with a specific uid if you press each. My theory is something in the framework isn't registering apps independently but grouping them together creating false readouts.
[EDIT] I do see individual apps on network use so I want to strike my theory. Now I'm just back to puzzled.

Sorry, been too busy to check back in on XDA for a few days. I could post a list of apps, but my original observation was during the couple of days after I did all the factory wiping / calibrating to fix my battery life. I didn't have any non-stock apps installed at the time.
The 0 is still there, and still force closes. I was hoping some more people might have insight on this, but it doesn't seem to have caught on.

Hi. Its been a few days since my Nexus 5 battery has been drained pretty fast. Lasts only about 4 hours after fully charged with little use. Since I recently started working in a really poor reception area I figured that was the problem, my phone constantly trying to find a signal, but when I go to the details, I see that Instagram is responsible for using up 40% and it wasnt even running!
Im no developer, or even experiencied android user, but, how is this possible?

Welcome to android and app permissions. It's accessing a number of things on your phone with location probably being the number one. Get something like xposed and app ops to tame what the app is allowed to access. You should also get gsam or BBS to get a closer look at what is using your batery.
This happened to me last night with a messaging app I used to replace hangouts. It dropped about 12% overnight with data and WiFi all off.
I looked in battery use and messaging sucked most if it up. I cleared data in the messaging app and that fixed it. Later today I switched back to hangouts until I download another messaging app. I don't trust that one now.

Thanks for your reply. I'm guessing I need root for Xposed and those other apps ? Like I said I'm just an ex iPhone user who just converted to Android. So haven't given myself the time to tweak around.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
you dont need xposed. looks like instagram had a stuck process or was stuck syncing. a reboot usually fixes that. there are other ways to fix things, other than installing xposed(as xposed could bring in its own issues). there are many apps out there that help, greenify being one of them. also, there are a few great apps to help you stop wakelocks that are out of control.
So I now have a Moto G 4G and previously had a Moto G dual sim and a s3 mini, all with 1GB of ram...
However, there is something seriously wrong with the ram on the moto G... The minfree is set to 300 MB and the phone gets to that point as a constant after about 2-3 days, making everything redraw worse than my optimus one...
I attached some screenshots...
Also, my cousin's nexus 4, with 2 gigs of ram, heavily bloated with useless background running apps by him, always has 1.5 gigs free ram... Can anyone figure this out? Is this happening in custom ROMs too?

I have a Moto G 3G and I didn't face the issue you're pointing out at all. Are you using some kind of task killers or memory management apps? In case you do stop using them and let Android the way is ment to be working. You didn't mention anything in particular so my advice, for now, is reset it from recovery and see what appens. Good luck!

No task killer, and resetting doesn't work, did that a lot of times on the 3G version... Even changed firmwares... Always the same.
My problem is that chrome treats tabs as background processes, so when I run low on ram, they close even when on foreground....

I'm running greenify in boost mode only, no task killers, along with a ton of kids games, on my kids' moto g.
Some games will only play one time, and have to have data cleared to be playable again as restarting or clearing cache doesn't work.
Some other games are extremely laggy, or have frequent freezes/pauses in the middle of playing, or the touch becomes unresponsive.
Watching videos in youtube works fine for about 4 or 5 videos before they start to get choppy or it'll just crash back to homescreen.
It happened on stock rooted.
It's happening on newest Gummy.
I seriously have no idea what to do to fix this, and just told the kids to deal with it.
Hi all,
This is my first post so sorry if it's the wrong place or just plain stupid.
Under power management, the power consuming apps section displays "currently no apps to report" for both unused apps and consuming apps. Anyone else have this problem?
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Normal. That means you have no misbehaving apps consuming an abnormal amount of battery
Here's mine

I forgot to close my SSH client some weeks ago (with an active connection to my home router), and it was reported
Thanks for clearing that up. Only got my phone on Sunday just been trying to work out why the battery is going down quick. Used about 25% since 9 am this morning.

But under battery /screen how much time has the screen been on?
Sent from my Xperia z5 using Tapatalk
Well it's now 15:16 and I'm now on 39% total screen time 2:44.
This is with brightness at lower setting and no wifi only mobile 4g.
I've been using chrome a fair bit and Spotify
But Spotify doesn't seem to actually effect my battery much at all.
How does that compare to others?
Just want to know if it's normal.
Thanks again
Ignore me. It's chrome it's used 43% of my battery.
I guess thats the rma (radio mobile active) bug , try disabling mobile data and use wifi to see if there is a difference in battery drain

Could you plz tell me the name of the theme you are using? I think the navigation buttons are really beautiful. Thx
Guyz, m not using WiFi even for a minute but in battery stats it's always on, and i think it's eating my battery faster.
Any solution or anyone else facing it?

We all have the same issue.
sometimes I get awfully slow data, and when this happens the 4g icon tells me that it's uploading and downloading something both arrows are filled in. I also had this problem on my s5 anyone else experiencing this or know a fix?
I do not have anything thing backing up or syncing
Are you using the new sim card that came with the phone? Have you done a factory reset? Have you called Tmobile to report the issue? What have you done to troubleshoot the problem?

Happens to me everyday at work. But I attribute it to an overly saturated area. I work at Legacy and DNT where you have shops at Legacy, Ericson HQ, Yum Brands HQ, BofA HQ, JC Penney HQ, Frito Lay HQ, FedEx HQ.
And it's only going to get worse since Toyota HQ, Liberty Mutual HQ and Chase are building in the area.
Only happens on LTE though, I manually switch off LTE and go to 4G(HSPA+ only) and I get excellent signal and can actually use data which leads me to beleive again it's due to over staturation

it seems like its being caused because android os is using a gig of data everyday, its uploading stuff in the background
Turn off backup app data in your google account settings and make sure auto backup is off its under backup and restore or something like that in settings.

I promise you. Just turn off the things I said. Before and after screen shot. It fixes it. You can also download netguard from the play store and restrict background data for apps on an individual basis. Hope this helps.
