[Q] Android os using massive amount of data? - AT&T LG Optimus G

It might be me but this seems like a lot for 9 days. I have my background sync off also. Any other ideas what might cause this?

This seems like a pretty huge bug, I would go into AT&T and ask about it, maybe they will bump up your monthly or at least take away any overage fees if you go over your plan. I haven't seen this but I am on wifi a lot of the time personally..

Has anyone else noticed this? If no one has I might see if I can switch it out for another after school

Did you have Google restore your settings when you set up the device for the first time?

I think I might have. I'm not 100% sure. But its still going up 472mb atm but data has been shut off for awhile.

Factory reset. Setup Google account without restoring anything. See what happens.

So without restoring anything? Because there is no option for settings restore.

Hm.
Do you watch YouTube on Hi Quality on mobile? I did and used 25 gigs of data. It comes up under Android OS in data usage, which threw me for a while. Stop watching youtube on mobile for a bit and see if that helps.

You don't need juice defender. It'll have a more negative effect on battery as its just another process running in the background.
I got the same message. There was a beta version of one that didn't have the same message. I ended up not using any of them but I am curious as to why we would get that message.
Anyone with any ideas?

didn't plan on using it to be honest, I just was confused by the message. didn't know a carrier could restrict an app like that (or atleast I think that's what's goin on) and don't really like it.

I just tried it and it worked fine. I was able to download it and install it. I am on ATT so it doesnt seem to be a carrier issue. What rom are you on? Or is it stock. I am on cm7 and had no issues.

I got the Plus version and I love it. Used the default settings and get great standby time out of it. Unplugged the phone at 10 this morning, made a couple calls and checked e-mail. Been sitting on the desk about 12 hours and still have 95% battery left.

+1. I love this app. If I leave mobile data running, battery life on this phone sucks. With it I run schedules with mobile data where I can still get emails, and use my phone for more than 6 hrs. Don't know about the installation issues, since I've had it for awhile, just wanted to defend the app for those who feel it's not necessary

I believe they just uploaded v 3 on the market and it may take some time to sort it up.
im not sure who said not to use juice and i really dont care. i have noticed an improvement in my battery life by using it, and i am talking hours. If you shell out the money for the ultimate version you can take control over every power eating aspect of your phone. +1 to the developer

You can get it from the Amazon Appstore.

Which firmware are you running?
There's a known issue that the Market hasn't been updated to handle the UCKK6 (AT&T OTA update) fingerprint yet.

Start with the obvious... Check what's running in the settings menu... Anything unusual chewing up battery time?
Recently installed apps?
I has this issue after flashing back to stock and a factory reset made all ok.

Bro - the factory reset is ur friend if done right. And the only really important thing is to just backup ur personal data.
Esp if ur running stock, a factory reset will do the trick.
If u want the longer route, download some tools (tibu, setcpu, es fm/tm...) and try and diagnose where the bottleneck is coming from.

Powersaver mode will also cause it to lagg real bad. I only use power saver when I am out or worried about juice, but now I carry a spare battery and never use it.

Can't purchase apps from play store, free apps work fine

I can't purchase any apps, it never authorizes the payment. I've tried removing the current credit card and adding a new one, but that didn't work.
Just got off the phone with Google and they can't figure it out.
If I use my old gmail account, the purchase goes through instantly.
Using shostock2 at the moment, but I've used different roms and it doesn't make a difference.
Anyone have any idea, this is really frustrating me.
Check that you don't have any expired credit cards in your google wallet. AoN

I currently only have one card in my wallet, the same one is in my other account that works.

Well normally its from someone messing with the DPI and then going "hero derp ! Iz brokez ma phonez! " but in this guys case I don't think that's the problem. Maybe clearing Google framework, market, /cache and dalvik. That is what I'd try anyway.

I've cleared everything multiple times and can't get it to work.
I have 2 google accounts, and if I switch to the 2nd one a purchase will go through instantly. If I switch back, it fails.
Waiting to here back from google and hopefully they can fix it.

Good luck with this - sure seems like you've done everything on your end to fix it. Have to admit I'm curious why you have two accounts with the same credit card. Why not just consistently use the one that works?

Data Usage not updating?

Okay well the title basically explains it, my data usage statistics are not updating. It's currently August 18th and my usage cycle ends on the 11th of each month. Running neomax and currently s-on. Thanks to anyone who can help.
I've found that the data usage app is absolutely worthless. Every month I compare what Android says my data usage is compared to what verizon says it is and they are no where near the same. Verizon says my usage is 850-1,000 MB while Android usage app shows only around 300-350 MB. So, I just ignore what the data usage app says.

True, but to have such a disparity between the two reports is odd.
They have to say that to cover themselves just in case, but I guarantee they intended for it to be accurate. I'm sure they will make it more accurate in future updates.

Its odd to see so many people saying the bandwidth meter is inaccurate.. Mine has always been pretty much right on the money every month!
I do notice that there are some apps that don't get reported individually - for instance, WiFi Tether is never listed as an app that has consumed bandwidth in the list below the graph. But the total amount of bandwidth consumed always seems to be right. In other words, even though WiFi Tether is not listed with exactly how much bandwidth it used, that bandwidth is still being reported by the graph, and the cumulative total always seems to be in line with what Verizon reports I have used..
Guys the problem isn't that the statistics aren't accurate with what VZW says, its that its August 20th and the usage cycle has not updated since august 11th!

OH!!! Ok my bad..
I have no clue. Everytime I have weird **** like that start to happen, it usually means its time for a full wipe and start over.
I've started to notice that Android is a little like Windows used to be.... After awhile it just starts to bog down and weird **** starts to happen that doesn't make sense. Only solution I've found in these cases is to do a full wipe and start over.

IDK what it is, but I have done a reset or two as this was the only way to fix the syncing problem, but it always comes back for me and the only thing I can think of is it's related to the damn 2.06 update because my other devices have no problem syncing.
