On lasted stock non rooted OS and I have DirecTV Now app installed and recently I've noticed that every time I use the app my Android OS data usage is high so if I stream 500 megabytes of data on the DirecTV Now app then my Android OS data usage will be about the same. Issue is I have a limited data plan and it's eating through my data and I have one of those plans from T-Mobile with the binge on feature that doesn't supposed to count against your data if you're streaming from a certain app like YouTube Netflix Spotify and also DirecTV Now but it's using my data but only with the DirecTV Now app not with YouTube Netflix or Spotify just to name a few if anybody know why your help would be appreciated.

I would just disable the app in the settings when you're not using it, or block it from using mobile data, it's an annoying but simple fix.

I'm paying for the service and I want to use it but I guess after the last 2 updates the data is not zero rated anymore or at least on my LG G5 but is not using data on my old LG G3.Im using that for the time being until I figure what's going on.

Or we can just hibernate that app using any hibernation manager app.

If you are rooted you can get LBE from google play store https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lbe.security.lite&feature=search_result#?t=W10. You can pick and choose which apps can access data, GPS and almost all permissions you want for each single app seperately. Even allows you to monitor all data usage and much more. Play around with it. Best part is....IT'S FREE!

Looking for app recommendations for monitoring my family's data usage. My family is on the Verizon Share Everything plan and I would like to see how much total data the family is using rather than having to go to log in to My Verizon.
I've looked into Onavo Count and My Data Manager, but both of those seem to only monitor the data for the phone that the app is installed on. The My Verizon widget/app pulls the total data usage from the My Verizon account, but the widget/app is pretty lackluster.
Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks.

I just use the my Verizon mobile app and I haven't had any problems. The widget is a joke. I don't know of any other app that can give you the shared usage. Like you said most just list the single phone

You can try Family Data Usage app on Play Store. In this app you can see details of data used by you and your family members. This app helps you to monitor data used by multiple devices. It also has beautiful interface, widgets and notification. Here you can set data limit, data used by other apps and many more features. It is worth trying app.
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.

If your phone is rooted, it is easy possible, for example firewall in official play store Avast Mobile Security. No possibility without root.

You can still do it without root privileges.
Use LostNet Firewall.
It creates a fake VPN connection which intercepts all traffic and filters it based on your rules.
It allows to block some apps while on mobile.
You can also block some apps at all times.
You can block access to any country.
New features are released every week.
The next release will have 3 new ways of blocking networking traffic.
You can also use Mobiwol. Is free from Google Play and it also uses the VPN features to block and allow apps based on what you tell it to do. It also blocks Foreground and Background apps as well.

you can use 360 security, it has a data monitor and a per app firewall and works without root.
I have noticed tasker does not switch data off anymore, I use a lot of data and there are no unlimited data plans in the UK, I was wondering if anyone knows of a fix for this as it saves me so much data.
I'm on 5.0.
Thanks.

Not until it is updated. Seems Google is making it harder for outside apps to do anything that changes system settings. Smart on Google's part.
