Hey,
I own an Mi4i now and installed MIUI 6.6.6.0 and updated to 6.6.8.0 - so far so good, everything seems to work very snappy and without lags. But - I configured everything yesterday evening and left my phone idling around during the night wit 82% battery. Today morning, the battery was at 23% and I received a text from my mobile provider telling me, that my mobile data plan for this month has reached the limit. WTF?!?!? I THEN saw, that there was an info on the lockscreen telling me, that 350.4MB are being used on the lockscreen. WTF?!?!?!?!? What's going on here? What's sucking away my mobile data?!?!? All I am running is push with GMail ... can someone help?!?!?!
open Security icon on Homescreen > Data usage > Data usage stats ..
see what's eating your data there.
It's GMail ?!?!?!!? Why is it automatically downloading SO much?! I just had 8 mails this morning?!?!?!

do the mails have attachment ?
How much gmail took your data usage ?
Yes, some of em had pictures. But I configured it to only download attachments on wifi, not on mobile plan! GMail took 320MB of the data usage!!!

Because you enabled Background Data and auto-sync - nothing to worry.

Backgroud data = yes
Auto-sync = no
thats my settings since i have the phone ^^ but now it won't sleep anymore
Exchange ActivePush keeps the phone active, Latitude too. You could use the App Process Monitor, but everything looks perfectly normal.
oh, maybe i should mention that my mobile data is always off...
the phone is offline and tries to sync?
Ok, that is wierd.
You could try Process Monitor Widget from the Market to record processes running on your phone.
Its hard to tell what Process keeps your phone running.

I know you said you have mobile data turned off ...but like ItsDace has mentioned earlier - could you try logging out of / disabling Google Latitude?
it worked well in extending my battery's life.
edit: on a closer look - your mobile data does not seem to be off ... the screenshot you gave shows 'green' icons for 3G... meaning you are connected to google services over data network?
thx, i will try!

Hi,
I've recently discovered that very large amounts of data are being transferred from my Nexus S which is pushing me over my data limit of 750mb. I downloaded 3G watchdog and monitored traffic for a while and noticed that every hour or so data use goes wild running into the tens of mb over a very short period of time.
I'm currently running MIUI-109020 and have a fairly standard range of apps installed. I've tried killing all of the apps that might possibly transfer data but this makes no difference. So, at the moment I've turned off mobile data before it bankrupts me but obviously I'd like to have it back on again.
Anyone, anywhere have any thoughts or pointers as to what might be going on or how I could solve it?
BTW I'm in the UK on Vodaphone's network.
Cheers

That much data? Email, gmail, facebook sync.
Install Droidwall and prevent some apps from the network.
I would also like to see what exactly Android is doing all the time...
MIUI has a built in Monitor app. Use that to see which app is using up your data.
You may also want to opt-out of MIUI stats. I'm not sure of how much data it sends, but it will cut down on some of your data usage.
Droidwall is a great suggestion as well. Prevent some apps from connecting on 3G but allow them on wifi. If you want some apps to connect on 3G, check your sync settings.

Thanks for your replies. I've now installed droidwall and that looks like it could help. I've also purchased the pro version of 3G Watchdog (hadn't realised MIUI had a monitor app) and that's showing me what how much data my apps are using.
I phoned Vodaphone and they increased my data plan to 1GB which gives me a little leeway while I try to work this out. So I'll test it again tomorrow and see if I can work out what's going on.

Is your Gallery app syncing pictures to Picassa? It's the only thing i can think of that would explain that much data in a short period of time.
Problem solved. Google+ was the culprit. By default the app had Instant Upload of all photo's and video's set to on. That has cost me about £50 since installing the app in late September when it first came out. Thank's Google
Thanks for all your tips. At least now I have a better handle on data monitoring and firewall protection.
Cheers

Wow, never thought Google Plus would use that much, even though it syncs a ton. Good think I have unlimited, may want to look into it yourself.

I have notices since I rooted my 1.85 HOX I have had a huge spike in data usage. I downloaded both Onavo Count and My Data Manager to take a deeper look (the native Usage monitor was not detailed enough). The Onavo points to the data being used by "Android OS + Others" while the My Data Manager shows Download Manager as a pretty big hog (6MB an hour).
Any ideas on this. I trolled around some forums and everyone just days to shutoff background data and its fixed. Tried that and this morning in an hour I had downloaded 1MB in 10 minutes on Mobile data.
Any help on what could be eating up my data is appreciated. I rarely go above 1.5GB a month and in the last 3 days I have used 2GB.

Similar thing happened with my wife's phone, ended up being related to her email settings which she had changed the option from default of not including attachments to include the attachments; due to all the pic's she had been emailing her data spiked to just at a Gig in just a few days.
on my moto g when i enable mobile data i see that an application Android OS is taking most of my mobile data and because of that i am loosing my internet speed . Itried to restrict background data but it seems this application is the only one whose background data cannot be restricted .
plz help
Might be a silly thought but have you edited the PlayStore settings to only update apps over wifi?

I had this issue - it turned out it was the combination of Google Backup & Restore being active (Settings/Backup & Restore), along with my automation app which I'd set up to regularly refresh my wallpaper (i.e. every 10 mins when the phone is in use). It turns out that Google Backup was uploading each wallpaper as it was changed and was eating data in the process.
non of the solutions apply to me. android os drained 30mb data in one month. it is not much but i only have 200mb data per month.
any other solution?
and thank you for helping guys, i really appreciate it! :highfive:

I've just had a look at my Android OS data use over the last two weeks or so (since I fixed the issue I've had). I've been on Wifi a lot over the last week, but combined Wifi and Mobile data use in two weeks it's at about 65MB which seems par for the course.
so no solution yet guys???
for my thing it seems it slowed down but its still there it runs along when other internet apps r running like hangout and it slows internet down.
i dont mind it running but i need the speed cauz my data is 2g its just draining speed
i would also be thankfull for a solution. i have only 200mb data per month so if it drains 30-40mb a month it is a lot for me.
my current sollution is to load like 10 articles and turn off data and when i read all articles i turn on data and load another 10 articles.
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?
sorry for my poor grammer im not nativ speaking.
