My data plan usage is increasing little by little. I use the wi-Fi ONLY. I had 98 mb then all of the sudden I get a text message saying that I used over 65%(139mb). Then I woke up from 7 hour sleep, and it increased to 147mb...
I do not have unlimited data plan. I have 200mb plan. I'm scared that it will go over my limit. I don't want to pay extra 15$ for it when I'm not even using my plan.
I'm using
Rcmix
Stock radio
WiFi only and network disabled.
Help..

Personally, I would try flashing a new ROM and if the situation is the same, just go into airplane mode...

does that mean i can't call or text, or receive?
Right, I have a thought. Do you leave wifi on all the time? It may be going to sleep when the screen turns off. Settings> Wireless & network > wifi settings push menu and go to advanced settings and change the sleep policy.

Yep but you can still use WiFi

Also If the wifi is going to sleep when the screen goes off it could be background data. You can turn that off in accounts and sync

my wifi never goes to sleep, i enabled it to "stay on forever"
and if my phone did sleep and my wifi was turned off, it shouldnt use the background data because mobile network is off and there is no other way for my phone to connect to any other network.
ill try flashing to a new rom if my Data plan increases again.
At work 400 people have a S2 Plus. After the update, many problems have arrived:
- APN settings are lost, set to basic. This could be a problem for busines phones.
- [email protected] crashes..... no worries, just an App..
- Google+ crashes... Hmm, sleightly worrying
- S Planner is messed up. Options are unreachable, Letters are massive and i'm unable to change to week view.. it's locked on month (as soon as i have pictures i'll show
- Email letters are massive... changable for email itself but buttons stay big
As soon as i find more, I'll share
Anyone else have these problems?
No I don't have these problems...May be you can reflash the Rom?

We have about 400 S2 Plus phones here, it would not be wise to reflash all those ROM's.. about 50 of those phones have troubles.
Have you guys tried wiping data... like factory reset the whole phone
Sent from my GT-I9105P using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
update to 4.2.2 without wiping will have crashes in some of the apps. it will happen to other phone too(my good old ace),it's wise to have it backup then update n wipe.
I am not having such problems too.
Sent from my GT-I9105P using Tapatalk
We just let people update, so indeed we updated without factory wipe.
I'll test it on one of the devices'.
Would another option be re-installing the apps? if i could get my hands on the apk of s-planner for instance..
at leat try to clean cash it may help ..
Try factory reset first.
Installing system apps as custom app isn't really that ideal to me

Any of you have problem with phone freezing? Not in use, when it is on standby. It work only when it is rebooted (holding power button for 5 seconds) or when battery is pulled out and powered on again.
Friend of mine has this problem since he upgraded to 4.2.2. First it was often, he used Powersave option. After he turned Powersave off, phone worked normal for some day (about 10). And now the problem occurred again, without Powersave on.

Sometimes it's not related to power save. It might just be a system bug:

I have a bad habit of frequently clearing all apps from my recents
I somewhere read that it's not good (can't remember where)
So is it worth killing apps frequently ?? Does this effect battery life too??
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Hi,
I would say you "kill" multitasking...
...which is actually not good, because opening an app that is already in the phones RAM loads much faster plus it doesn't consume that much battery juice
Just leave em. Don't be obsessed with closing stuff all the time

Apps running in your multi tasking window still drain some battery. Even Google suggests closing them if you're not using them, to extend battery life.
Launching apps doesn't doesn't spike my current widget readings so I don't think much battery is used there. I've noticed rebooting the phone does cause huge spikes though so try and only do that while plugged in.

This topic has been debated again and again. It makes no tangible difference in battery life. If you want to swipe your apps, go ahead and swipe them. You will never see a difference in battery. And that's because there isn't one.
I notice that if I don't reboot my N5 for a long time, my available RAM goes down to <150mb regardless of what I close. Does it sound like I have a bad app?

no point. the device is more than capable of handling multiple apps open in the background.

Usually its best to just keep pressing the back button repeatedly to exit an app and let it be in the recents. I read that just swiping the app off the Recent doesn't completely exit the app and there's still some background process that will be running for some time.

Hi guys, I've just bought a Motorola moto g 16gb and then I've installed android 4.4.2 and I noticed that the battery stats doesn't show the battery usage of many user apps..
Is it a bug or not?

It does, but it won't show any user app that is less than (I think) 4% use. He's got a user app showing up on the list in his screenshot.
What has changed is that some user app use of core OS features now get reported as Android OS/Android System where as under JB they were reported as the originating app.

Hey @smoza I noticed in your screenshots you're using a battery percentage app. Did you know that KitKat already supports battery percentage? You can enable it with this app, without root https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.kroegerama.android4batpercent

OK, really need to know battery consumed, how much of that is reported to be the screen and the screen on time to see if that is an issue. It is normal for screen to be top of the list with regular usage but how much it drains (and how much screen on time you get) is basically going to be a function of your brightness settings.
Looking at your second screen shot I can see a couple of things you might want to investigate/change.
Wifi is always on - fine if you are actually connected to wifi - but if you are out and about and not using a wifi connection having wifi enabled will add a significant amount to your idle drain rate. You should also disable 'Scanning always available' in the Advanced Wifi Settings (Settings/Wifi/Menu Button.Advanced).
Your cell signal is often quite poor - not a lot you can do about it but that will cause faster drain when you are connected to mobile data.
Your phone is waking up regularly when not in use. There could be numerous causes for this, but most likely it is having location set to High Accuracy or Battery Saver - the phone is regularly collecting info from your cell tower connections and surrounding wifi networks to feed back to Google to get a location fix, and apps that like to know your location may be asking for a fix regularly. Depending on what you use location for you may wish to consider turning it off entirely or running in Device Only mode.
You've used GPS - some people have experienced an issue with a continually higher drain rate after using GPS - it's intermittent - for some it is everytime after using GPS, some most of the time, others very occasionally. A reboot will fix if this is an issue (it doesn't look like it is a problem but it's hard to tell - it's most obvious if the battery drains in airplane mode).
I turned off the GPS right now, disabled 'scanning always available' and set the brightness as auto.. I'll write here if this will increase my battery life or not, thank you anyway

You might want to keep it between 10 to 20% manually adjusting to higher levels if you're going outside, for the brightness sensor to not be working and therefore, consuming more battery.
From this morning at 10a.m. with 94% of battery I reached the 9p.m. with 7% of battery and I used it a bit more of my average use.. That's better than before (I had to charge my phone at 8p.m.), so thank you guys

There is anything to do to fix. this bug? The phone had aroun 70% of battery and the phone shootdown it self and you can see the results, 0% of battery but the phone is still working.

This problem with my phone just started yesterday. My phone will be fine and then out of no where the Wifi and Data are turned off. It will turn back on but this happens constantly and my battery is draining because of it. I have a wlan_wd_wake wakelock as well. I dont know if this is related.I'm trying to figure this out but I am stuck. I can take a Catlog as well if that will help. any help will be greatly appreciated.
Did you flash a rom recently?

Nope. It was the sane ROM I had on my phone for a month or 2. I reset my router and I'll see if that helps
