My data stats show that "android OS" consumed about 200 mb? Is this normal? I mean, i don.t care about costs, but could a malicious app use kernel for transmiting my personal data to a third party site?
Is it possible?
Tjank you

Nobody can exactly say the data consumed by their android.
But 200 mb in your case is very higher.That may not be by the os only,
See is there any download or any app(s) running at background.
So stop all the apps in seetings>app manager and see the consumption again.:thumbup:

200 mb is never ok for your os to consume see if an update occured in that month ! My android os usage is 30 mb.

Aloha there...
Head over to f-droid.org and install networklog, root required thought. It gives a very detailed report about network traffic.
Happy network loggin...

I searched and remembered that i was having sync on, so that could be an explanation.
Thank you for your responses

to prevent consuming too much data you could install "3G Watchdog app" it monitors your data every minute and send a notification (plus vibration) if you exceed your traffic data limit
The sync-on triggered that much data usage by your OS.
Its normally around 40 to 60 mbs approx.

... well , if you can not locate which app is downloading
you should just install a firewall and use white list mode , enable these apps you sure it's ok and you needed
Now it's too late but you could use "my data manager" in the future to monitor data consumption
Or wait for ICS that has that feature built-in.
I don't know if out G2x can get chocked on the many programs that one can be running today. But I am assuming that managing RAM is always a good idea.
Any software that can tell me about RAM usage (in details) so I can chose to disable some programs or chose not to use these?
I see that facebook alone can take like 50MB of RAM. What???
But maybe I am mistaken about all of these and in today's world there is no need to keep these in check?
Thanks
If your rooted you can use droidwall to control what apps use data you can use startup pro to stop certain apps to startup on boot.

With Titanium or root uninstaller you can freeze apps

Get the app watchdog light it warns you for data hungry apps. And battery draining apps

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.

Some time within the past 3 days Android OS (as per Settings\Data Usage) downloaded 59 mb background traffic via mobile data connection . This happened without me permitting anything or intentionally downloading anything. Typically my total background data traffic for Andoid OS is a few mb per month.
The 59 mb were enough to exceed my contract limit, and now I have to pay a high penalty-like charge for each mb. I want to learn what happened there, so I can do something to prevent this to happen in the future. Thanks for all hints and tips!
Check out which app is using so much of data :thumbup:
If the app isn't needed uninstall it and also disable auto updating of apps :thumbup:

Thanks!
No app has auto-udating enabled.
Let me detail this a bit. 59 mb are shown as Android background traffic. No app is showing any mobile data traffic of that size, neither foreground nor background, with one exception which is Boat browser's foreground data traffic, obviously being my internet usage. All other positions counted together are around 6 mb only.
What apps or functions are causing background data traffic in Android OS? If one of the websites I visited had for example a video file pushed on me which I did not notice, does Android OS count this as Background traffic?
Pls. close the thread.
This would not have happened with my previous Symbian based device. Frankly, how Android could become so strong is beyond me. Or better: I suspect why.

Hey..
You can use this app to monitor your data usage per app wise.(there is a free version available too)
Also you can use a firewall app to restrict the mobile data or wifi usage for any app you want.
Cheers.
