I am seeing increased data usage after installing the NoDo update. Actually when I look in the T-Mobile website for usage, I see the usage increase after I got the pre-NoDo update. Anybody else see this?
well I don't know about that as I haven't even had the phone a week yet and I installed NoDo on day 2 or 3 lol, however since I got the phone on Sunday I have used 146.29 MB of data out of 2 GB

constant erros about data connection
backlight stays on for a long time when phone is not used
very bad lag

any help? ..........................
Last I saw the T-Mobile update was exactly the same as the leaked one... So the problems you are experiencing are odd???? I still have the leaked Rom and it works fine without the issues you describe. The Only time my battery life is shortened is when using the internet features and/or leave the screen on... for example I left wifi sharing on the other day... I was at 50% 2 hours later... so I turned it off, 10 hours later I was at 30% not too bad!

Yes I believe it's been confirmed that the "leaked" T-mo upgrade ROM was bit-for-bit identical to the final (official) release, verified by matching checksums.
However, when the upgrade was first making the rounds here, there were numerous reports of odd issues that would pop up for people after the initial flashing of the ROM...and the solution was just to re-flash it again. Amazingly, doing a 2nd flash of the same ROM seemed to clear up quite a few of the oddball problems that people were seeing.
I'm afraid though I don't have any idea why those last 2 apps aren't working for you following the upgrade...?
Woah, warning about WMLongLife...
It F*CKED up my 3G connection bad. It wouldn't automatically switch to 3G when I was coming into a 3G area from a GPRS/EDGE area and it was almost impossible to get the original setting back. I'd stay far away from that app if I was you.
The other app, I'm not familiar with. Where is the original post of that?
Hello all,
I have had my G Pro a total of 13 days and have used 1.2 gig of data according to AT&T. I use Wifi wherever I can, and have set Google Play to only download updates over Wifi. I think 1.2 gig of data in 13 days is alot, especially when I am not streaming music.
Is it possible that my data connection is persisting even if Wifi is up and operational? Anyone seeing unusually high data usage on their G Pro's too?

Do you have your advanced wifi settings set up so that it is shutting the wifi off when the screen is off? This is how I have mine set to save on battery but it also means that any app that refreshes while the screen is off is using carrier data. But even so, I am only at 500 mb since May 10. Go into the settings and see which of your apps is using all of the data, maybe you have an app that is (for lack of a better term) rogue.
My data is also high, 'Android OS' was the leader in data compsumption . I turned off back up my data and Access to my location, and data has slowed the last 3 days from the Android OS section. I posted screenshots of usage in last 3 days and and 4 days before I turned those settings of.

I keep my Wifi on even when sleeping, so it shouldnt be that. Thanks though!
Hello,
I've noticed horrible performance on my phone in the last few days. I did an upgrade to 5.1.1 in January and then a Factory Reset. Things have been much much better on the phone since. The last few days I've noticed some strange behavior. I've had to reboot a lot and it's been sluggish. I'm having trouble installing apps as well.
What worries me the most is that Google Books used .73 GB today alone and AccuWeather used .6 GB in about a day as well. Any idea of what's causing all of this? I don't wanna blow through my data - it's early in my cycle as well. This has never happened.

I thought that the issue was with my phone but I've encountered the same issue as well.
Since I updated my note 4 to 5.1.1 my data has spiked.
My data connection has always been h+ but after the update I started to get 4G LTE speeds. Now in a matter of 2 days of normal usage I'm on 3gb used data. I just restrict background data and use lots of wifi to safe data
Do you have problems with data connection falling while making a phone call.? Every time I make a call I get a msg saying no data connection!
I'm also also seeing insane data usage patterns with android OS background. Each month more that 10GB use. 26.5GB this month alone. I've taken out all bloatware I do not use, and replaced most original apps. All apps I do use, are clearly listed. My Android 5.0.2 tablet uses more data than my gaming system and workstation combined. 17GB last month also. Always background use, usually in large blocks. This is like the svhost issues on windows. Are there any apps that parse the modules and connections the background Android system uses, on a non-rooted device? Apps that can break it down? The system logs seem to reveal nothing. I hope Google is not running some sort of distributed computing app in the background. Someone must know what this is, without making wild guesses.

I received it as well. I noticed that we now have "Calling Plus" in the settings, which allows calling and data usage at the same time. I haven't had the chance to try it out, but I enabled it along with WiFi calling and I noticed my calls do seem clearer on both ends compared to before, and I would like to mention those calls were to other Sprint phone, like my wife. I was not able to find much else for changes. But I on the previous update "V7", we have face unlock which I don't remember seeing before. I may be wrong, but I do make an effort to attempt to find any changes after updates. I never found anything online about what the updates included since "V5" update. It would be nice to know what is in the updates other than "Enhancements". Kind of annoying. I also noticed my battery life is better, and it's not in my head...I would normally get around 4hrs of screen on time, but I'm currently at 5hr34m with 36% left, and that's with my typical day off usage.. So there's definitely more to the update then Calling Plus.
Wow, here's my Speedtest results after the update:

Don't think I've ever seen anything over mid-60's Mbps on this phone before so I'm a happy camper!

I can see and connect to 5ghz bands without any issues after the update.
Some one can zippet this update?
Anyone else have this update override your settings? I have my phone to only download updates via wifi and on charger. It killed my data with the download when hiking the woods near my house.
I had the beta option on for calls, i could hear my phone calls, but no one could hear me talk. I turned it off and everything was ok. Anyone notice this either?
Hello everyone,
I hope all the pixel 6 pro owners are not suffering from high blood pressure lol
I've bought the pixel 6 pro few months ago and kept hoping it'd be better by updates. and indeed it improved a lot with time except one annoying issue: The insane mobile network's battery usage.
As you can see in the screenshot, it takes more than 30% of my battery to just be idle on LTE with data off. not even a game uses that much of power.
I contacted Google, they asked me to return it but since I live in Morocco it's impossible due to the insane customs' taxes, so I just have to live hoping they'd fix it with an update.
what I noticed is that this issue isn't present in custom roms. I also noticed that many people are still facing this issue to this day.
I reported the bug many times using the feedback app in the QPR beta yet got no replies.
Take out the trash, Facebook.
Try a network reset.
Find the apps sucking the bandwidth. All cloud apps are prime suspects. A logging firewall would be helpful for this. Firewall block all apps that don't need internet access.
Disable all Google, app and carrier feedback.
Malware is also a possibility.
Finally factory reset if you suspect malware and/or can't track down the cause(s). Be aware it may reoccur so it's always better to find the root cause when possible.

I tried literally everything. Tried a clean install with no apps installed, still the same. Tried disabling adaptive connectivity and "mobile data always on", still the same problem. LTE always drains battery.
I even tried deleting modem partitions then reinstalling the stock rom yet the issue persists. Can't seem to get rid of this issue.

That sucks. Maybe a hardware issue... I know that's the last thing you want to hear. It may be an antenna problem rather than the mobo.
Does it get better with the data on? Have your carrier do a network reset on their side.
Double check all configurations for the mobile data. Try clearing the data in the SIM toolkit app if it has that. Not sure how the SIM is managed on that maybe it's misconfigured. Try temporarily disabling Google play Services and see if that helps.
If you have a good local shop sometimes a second pair of eyes can spot the issue.

I don't think it could be a hardware issue since I tried some custom roms from xda and there was no drain. Network usage was limited to 2%.
I really don't know what's going on with this phone lol. I'm not the only one, there are some people online complaining about the same issue.

You need to find what's causing it then. Perhaps a system apk is endlessly polling another service or the internet. Make sure it's not a rootkit... Android 12 had a huge hole that Google plugged earlier this year. It doesn't apply to me so I'm not up to speed on it. Try flashing with the latest stable stock rom or simply go with what works.
It maybe they had to substitute a smaller chipset or component during a production run due to supply issues and the current firmware inadvertently wasn't configured properly for it. If so eventually they will correct the firmware more than likely. Samsung is notorious for doing that, Google probably does it too.
Fun times...

Unless you "have" to use the facebook app, which is a battery hog,
just go to m.facebook.com, the mobile site. Less battery drain and when you close
your browser, there isn't any app running that you don't know of.
Forget that percentage number, over the various updates I have had it be anywhere from 5% to 50% and it has made absolutely zero difference to how long the phone lasts during the day.
Are you actually not getting through a day on the battery? If you are then forget about that number as its not really telling you anything.
The mobile network drain is due to the Samsung radio chip they chose, it was known to be a battery hog even 4 years ago. They use a different, more efficient over in the Pixel 7 and 7 Pro
