I am having an issue with Google music app on all of my devices. Nexus 7 2012, HTC One, and Moto X.
No matter I do Google Play Music will take up exactly 237 mb of storage. I can't seem to figure out how or why. Fresh install on a new ROM with clean wipe doesn't correct the issue and clearing data in the app settings menu works for about 10 minutes then it goes right back to 237mb.
Not a major issue on my HTC One with 32gb storage but on the Moto X and Nexus 7 it is more so with only 16 and 8 GB respectively on those devices.
I am aware of the pre cache issues in the app but I don't think this is the same thing as it does it before I even open the app.

Im not using google play music but anyway:
Have you tried a clean install without access to the internet? maybe it buffers data from the cloud locally to your device?
Other possibility I thought is about the cache the app itself drains from memory for cache (not the full songs cache, but for streaming).

I recently flashed the new Virtuous Quattro ICS ROM from the Desire HD thread and it works great except for the obvious camera issues (Had to flash a couple files for the audio and tinny sound fix) . My question is why are my apps not automatically showing up in the market when I select My Apps. It actually shows about 12 which makes it even more odd. I thought at first it might be because the apps aren't compatible with ICS, but i can manually search them and download them. I've had this happen once before when flashing a Coredroid ROM. Is there an easy answer to why this happens and possibly an even easier solution to fix it?
Try clearing market data then rebooting a few times or if you use TiBu(paid), use the market doctor feature then reboot a few times.
Apparently there is a new market with the ICS build as there is no option for clearing the cache or data. It should be under settings in the market correct?

No, go to menu-settings-applications-all tab and select market, clear from there.
This also presupposes that ICS is setup this was. I haven't used it but this is how it's done in GB.
Saved and Texan by the grace of God, Redneck by choice.
Also remember that the market only keeps track of paid apps. It doesn't store free apps.
Running smooth v 4.0 and a lot of apps (Facebook, instagram, amazon) aren't showing up. I have them downloaded, but I try and search them but nothing pops up.

cleared store cache?
maybe reinstal the rom. I haven't had any issues with it. but when I flash a new rom i clear cache, dalvik, and emmc (internal sd card) every time.
Have you changed your pixel density? That can affect whether market apps show up or not.
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.

curious to see if anyone else uses the Google Play Music app, and if so, if the updates erase your cache music? this has happened to me twice already whereby I updated the app via the market, and then when I open the app, all of my songs are gone. I have to re-cache them again
Yep. Last update wiped them all. PITA!
Still Charged Up

Same thing happens to me. I usually plan on bouncing on wifi after updating to download whatever items I want cached. :good:
I just stream them. Unlimited data for the win.

Company plan. Thanks for rubbing it in.

Before the pre cached maps went final (out of labs) updating maps did the same thing to those. I think it's just Google trying to avoid any potential problems.

Every time I zoom out in Google maps the maps display like this, I tried deleting cache, deleting data and uninstalling updates from the app but I still get this, any idea what could be causing this?
I have 4.4.3 stock everything and rooted.
Thanks.

Have you adjusted DPI in build.prob?
Yeah, that was it, I had it at 439, now I'm at 420 and everything is fine.
Thanks
