I have noticed that facebook for android drains so much mb while browsing on it. I once used to have a nokia phone where facebook data consumption was very low, probably because of low quality of loaded pictures
is there a way to lower pic quality or to avoid pictures to load while in 3g so i can browse facebook just for comments, likes and links without loading any pic? I suppose that this will lower data consumption over 3g
i've looked on google a solution but still i haven't find anything
hope you can help

Could not understand why my new device was burning through it's battery like it was a desktop computer. I can't remember where but I stumbled across the application OS monitor and took a look to see anything untoward.
Well I have an exchange email server that I use to sync all my contacts/calendar and emails.
It would appear that the inbuilt google mail app tends to CONSTANTLY drain power whilst it is set up, I did have push mail activated and it was set to do background data et al.
Removing this has fixed my battery drain issue and I'm now using Touchdown to manage my email exchange, with push mail activated and having no such problems at all!
I'm not suggesting that everyone switches to Touchdown but it is definitely worth trying a different client if you are having problems with poor battery performance!
Hope this helps someone as it was REALLY beginning to annoy me, not even lasting a night out!
Did Google show up under your battery use?

Not quite sure what you mean? OS monitor showed the system using a few resources every now and again but mail was using 30-40% almost constantly draining the battery!
Also found that leaving WIFI enabled uses VERY little battery and so I've kept that alive so that the current mail app I'm using doesn't poll and get no connection all the time (personally what I think was happening is due to me living in the middle of nowhere there was no signal and so it kept polling until it could find a signal which was using up resources).
Just converted to winpho, and I love all the integration and fluidity as everyone says. But I feel like it takes up way too much data.
tl;dr. data usage hitting 10+mb daily, <3mb on android. wtf?
I find myself hitting 10mb+ daily, when i was below 3mb on android. WiFi continuously on (it wasn't on android either). I browsed wiki (one page) and used bing once, and found myself at 10mb halfway through the day. The only running app with data usage (that i know off) is 2 gmail account (probably 20 emails total, all text), with 30min interval and metrotalk (google voice client).
Looking at tmobile data spreadsheet, my phone seems to randomly access about 5+mb (up to like 13mb) daily in one section of time, and everything else below 1mb. I stream no music or video.
Not a new toy syndrome either, I used the phone for half a month already and found this trend.

This is frankly, ridiculous. That would be like downloading a giant app a day. what could possibly my phone be doing?
phone: nokia 710
edit: i did the math, wp7 avg. at 15mb/day while android at 4mb/day wtf? (same usage for the most part)
Moved to Q&A for you mate, should get you a few more opinions
I actually found WP7 much easier on my data allowance than Android. Don't forget that your live tiles etc. will use data to refresh, and having your Google voice client open all the time may not be doing you any favours, either. It's entirely possible that the Voice client on Android hibernates one way, and the client you're using on WP7 does it another way
You could always turn off the xbox live synchronisation with your games and the zune account for the music. I believe they will take up some of your data. You should also check any of your applications that might use the internet a lot! By the way, why don't you use push notifications for your google accounts? Those might use your data too!
There are number of services that can use data in the background. A few suggestions of things to check:
Make sure the feedback info is either turned off or set to only send over WiFi.
Un-pin the Me tile, or accept that WP7 will need to ping Facebook to see what your contacts are saying about you (may also apply to the People tile).
Marketplace tile probably uses a little data, checking for updates, but it should be minimal.
Games hub definitely uses som data, if it's synching with the Xbox Live servers (not sure how much).
A small bit of Marketplace configuration data is downloaded nightly, but it should be only a few KB.
Tip: Leave the phone plugged in all night, even if it doesn't need it. WiFi turns off when the screen is locked, unless the phone is plugged in. No, that behavior is not (yet) configurable.
I note this too after NoDo update. At the begining, my phone uses a little of data every day (some Kb, never goes far than a Mb). I use data to sync my hotmail account, gmail account, rss channels, some webpages. After NoDo update, my phones starts to consume a lot of data (more than 10Mb every day with the same uses). Then mango goes out and i think maybe they fix this situation. Today my phone have 8107 and the data usage is over the clouds. I switch on data connection manually and my data usage is more "normal". I know my phone has a lot of new services over the cloud but i can't maintain its appetite of data.
Hi Team,
Is there any way we can control the speed of GPRS Data Speed , let say some 2kbps like that ?
I know its funny as GPRS itself is slow and why am i wanted to reduce its speed even lower. I got some idea in my mind to reduce battery drain.
Using Tasker I have achieved to control per application 3G Mode (WCDMA only) when they are active, and rest all the time phone will be 2G Mode(GSM Only)(mainly when phone is in locked state). I know the chat application would do background connect and prob for new data, at this time, if I can control the data flowto its minimum, I feel it will reduce the batter drain little more.
is there any way to active this speed control on Android with some application or tweak ?
Cheers,
Kirankumar.

What are the apps you are using? Some apps use GCM/C2DM (Google's push notification service) or store your chat messages online (Viber, Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp,...). As long as apps have this, you don't have to stay online to get messages.
If you still want to do that, IMO reducing speed isn't neccessary. Let's imagine, an apps send 100KB data in 10 seconds is better than in 200 seconds.
So yeah. Title says it all. This is also draining my battery, as on data the phone consumes about 1.5%/hr, compared to 0.7 on WiFi. Google Photos set to backup on WiFi only, so that shouldnt be the problem.
Bump. Does no one have any solutions?

Hello, since yesterday i have massive problems with my S7 it wont go to sleep mode and is draining data slowly but consistent i installed yesterday glasswire and you could see that it trained about 300 mb for no reason (up and down)
so i got mad and flashed a stock version of 7.0 android and only put 2 apps on it (better battery stats and glass wire) i disabled every app and only logged in with my gmail account so i got my emails and contacts...
nope android-system is draining my data and my battery im hopeless.. i dont know what to do.. please help me.. i dont want to go into offline mode every time.. if im starting W-Lan its draining, Mobile data its draining.. i posted here the cached and the active apps as a screenshot about the android-system maybe you can find something?
