I've noticed out of the blue that Android OS is consuming a lot of data whether on 4G or wifi, and it tops my battery usage list as well.
Is anyone else getting this? I have tried everything. Disabled background data on everything and it's still happening.
I had this issue and had success after deleting the cache. Not real sure why it works but may be worth a try if your problem continues. ( settings ==> storage ==> cache data ==> delete )

When I use running apps like runtastic and others it takes a long time until the satellites see my device. Anyone knows how to solve it?

It is not necessary, but it makes the reading more accurate. Especially if you're indoors.

Sorry to threadjack, but does anyone have problems using GPS?
I can't even get a signal with a clear view of sky waiting for 2min ++
I had the same problem with my '"out of the box" sgr. Sometimes it took 7-10 minutes before I managed to lock some satellites. Problem disappeared when I re-installed FW. From this moment - 20 sec - 1 min max!
wipe dalvik cache (It always helps when I flash/restore very often.) it this doesn't work do a full wipe or even re-install your FW and then do a factory reset.
Maybe try GPS Test? Its help me alot when I try to find myself on google maps. Without this app its take much more time to see me by satellites.
GPS test does not help for me
I have the exact same problem. GPS test does not help at all for me. It shows 5-9 satellites constantly, none "In use"
Will try wiping Dalvik cache.

Nopes, wiping Dalvik cache does not improve anything.
Will wipe cache/data while installing InfectedV2.
hi, try enable data connection via mobile internet (for A-GPS).
so gps use at the beginning data connection to find satellites faster. (very low traffic
)
If i enable data and gps, i get my gps signal within 5-10 seconds. When disapled, i have to wait long time
Wipe dalvik cache helped me a lot but it could be better. What is FW?

Firmware
Well, I installed a new firmware (Infected V2). Now the situation is better. I can get cold lock (GPS lock without A-GPS) within 30 seconds.
Now doing a restore from Titanium Backup. Let's see if that screws things up again or not. I know that using wireless networks can improve the performance, but I am not quite comfortable with the idea because most of the time I don't use mobile data plans.
Where I can get Infected rom V2?

Thanks for this tip. I also had a lot of problem with the gps-fix, and it got even worse, so i thought i just might try it as i have to restore it anyway before sending it to service.
And it worked like a charm, locks so quick now, amazing...
hi all,
I have samsung p6200 samsung tab.
I am unable to download any app when i am on 3g from playstore. Although downloading works perfect when on wifi.
I have tried the clearing cache fix but doesn work.
Thanks and regards

Open the Google Play Store. On the top right corner you have a menu, go into settings and deselect the update over wifi only option.
P_
did you fix it? im having the same problem here and i dont know how to fix it... already deleted all of the play store data, still nothing...
does it say it is downloading and the progress bar keeps going but no percentage? I've had this too. just reboot once and open up play store, it should resume automatically.
yeah, also uncheck wi-fi only.
Unable to update/download from Google Play/Market
Hi Guys,
I too have been having this problem from the past month.
It works fine on a WiFi connection, but not on data.
I have tried every remedy I cud find, but no joy
1: Clear data/cache method
2: Uninstall/Reboot method
3: Sign in/out method
4: Tried a different Sim card
5: Tried a different g mail account
6: Rollback to Android Market
7: Factory reset
8: Conferred with the service provider (Vodafone)
9: Got the tab updated at an authorized Samsung center.
10: Google Play support (They suck)
I don't think there is anything I haven't tried.
Downloads on the browser work fine, Its just Google play that's acting up.
The status just gets stuck on 'Downloading' and then stops with error 495.
If anyone has had a breakthrough with a fix apart from the ones listed above...please share.
Thank you.
Use search. Plenty of topics on error 495, no need for another.
anyone had any luck..
I too am facing the same problem.. not able to download anything via 3G but working fine on Wifi.
Let me know if anyone was successful.
I never had a problem with 3G on Play Store, in fact I prefer it rather than Wi-Fi.
Try updating your Play Store to the latest one.
Check your mobile settings. Your APNs and all.
Can't really tell a solution because I haven't experience it at all. I'm just here to say that it works great on mine. Even from a fresh clear data on the application(No settings or whatsoever in Play Store options applied).
I'm having the same problem with my N800 Note tablet. Sees the apps in Play Store but the download progress bar jut says downloading with no progress. Download over WiFi only has been disabled.

Check the eee Pad Transformer Q&A threads for error (495). Mcdeep from Pretoria had a fix. (I'd post the link but I'm too itty-bitty on this forum atm. )
Mcdeep said:
I finally managed to solve the problem. Just follow these steps, but bear in mind that i'm using a custom ROM so it might be a little different with you. Go to Settings > Wireless and network > Mobile networks > Access Point Names (or APN). Now select the APN that u are using. (I chose MTN Data since i'm MTN. Now go to "Proxy". There should be a number in there, delete everything that's in there and leave that field blank. Go to "Port" and clear everything as well. It worked for me.hope it works for u too. Let me know.

I have a Note (N-7000) and was having this issue. Found a solution on another forum and it worked for me.
I had actually tinkered with the background data settings to restrict it for some apps. It included Google Play Store as well. Whien I uncheked background data for Play store, the downloads still DID NOT work.
After some search, I found that the 'Media' process should also have background Data enabled for Google Play to work on 3G/Data connection. I had restricted background data for this process as well. After removing the restriction on Background data for both 'Media' & 'Play' Store, I am now able to download over 2G/3G connection as well.
The 'Update over Wifi' setting had nothing to do with the issue apparently.

plus all the google related app must not be data restricted they create problem in one way or other (
Finally solved the problem
Google Play Store is working fine in my Micromax Nitro A310 with 2G mobile data and wi fi but not when on 3G. I tried every trick & tip found in this forum and elsewhere over the internet like enabling background data, clearing cache, clearing data, logging in & logging out, clearing APN proxy and even factory reset. Nothing worked for me. Here's how I resolved this problem.
I use Airtel 3G. In the Access Point Name (APN) settings under "data bearer" default action selected is "not specified". Select "LTE" here. It worked for me
whenever I try to download or update an app from the play store when my wifi is off and only data is on I'm getting a "xxx could not be downloaded due to an error.(404)"
I tried deleting data of everything market/play store related and nothing helped.
When the wifi is on everything works great.
Edit: if im going to the market site and choose to install the selected app on my devices it will also fail if the wifi is off
Also if it matters I'm using the market fix from LCD modder pro
u answered ur own question. Market has a known flaw when interacting with LCD modder and any dpi changer.
As far as I know the flaw is not being able to see/update certain apps, but after using the fix everything works.
And as I said over wifi I have no issues at all only while using data so I doubt that's the case.
Bumping this because I tried restoring to the original market and I still cant download/update using mobile data.
Would be great if anyone can help me with this.
while in market> settings> deselect wifi only.

have the same problem
Did u fined a solution?
Solution
The solution is: go to System Settings > press "More..." in Wireless and Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names (APNs) >press the menu button, inside the menu press "Reset to default“ > now another option will appear called "Internet 3G" (modem) , besides the "Portal 3G". Choose the new option "Internet 3G" and you are done! =] here's a screenshot:

Solution - works
It worked for me although I didn't change to Internet 3G - just reset to default.
Thx. I already tryed a few fixes that didn't work.
Change proxy settings
I removed proxy settings from my APN attributes and then it worked fine.
Thanks a million! This worked for me and has been bugging me the last couple of weeks. Google support had me clear cache, do a data reset of all the Play store related apps/service, along with flip air plane mode on and off. They eventually sent me to Samsung support and they pretty much went over similar steps outside of trying it in Safe Mode. They even had me do a reset with the phone which didn't fix it either. I knew something funky was going on as my wife's Pixel was also doing it. Now I have both phones fixed!
i have had this happen a few different days now. Something uses like a GB of data in a matter of an hour or so. I noticed this and installed both My Data Manager and Onavo to see what was using it (beyond the stock Data Usage). Onavo shows it Android OS + others (Similar to the stock Android OS report) and My data Manager shows it as Streaming Media.
Any thoughts on what this is. Its not things like Facebook or Google+ or Plume or Foursquare as those all report separately. I would love to know some options on the culprit or some other apps that might help figure it out.
I did read somewhere a Factor Reset can fix this but since its random seems like some app or something that i can resolve with out that action.
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?
