I have experienced today a consistent crash when i try to access the data usage option in the settings menu. I have been using that and i have 'exceeded' my set limit by 5.5 mb which was ok since the warnings worked fine and so on. I had disable my data connection and i have reenabled it today but oddly, i cannot access the data usage app anymore e.g. to change my settings/levels. I reported it to google, but i was wondering whether anyone has experienced sumth similar or know of a solution that does not require reset.. e.g clearing cache? Anyway, happy new year !

Hi,
hope this is ok for this forum, but is there any app which monitors all apps and their indvidual data usage? Over the last couple of days I seem to have used a lot of data (way more than I usually do) and was wondering whether a particular app is responsible.
I have turned off all sync (background as well) but still data usage is mounting.
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks for anything you can suggest,
Rich
I have a big problems with my new ARC. I hope, somebody of you guys can help me.
I have a limited data traffic per month (250 MB). On this reason, I have monitored my traffic with WatchDog 3G. I was really surprise, as I saw, that I have between 3-5 MB data traffic per day without any synchronisation of Facebook, Push Mail etc. So I was wondering which App / Service is responsible for that.
I can see on my WatchDog monitor, that two applications are always "on line" and down- or upload data. Please see at my attached screenshots. The capture was done after the phone was rebooted and used for 10 minutes. The two applications / services are called "Diagnostics Tool ..." and "Tastenfeld" (keypanel, keypad). If I have activated the data connection during the whole day without a wifi, the data traffic of both apps is between 3 - 5MB.
I have tried to avoid this by deactivating Google Backup Option and SE usage infos., but no change.
Can anyone help me with my problem? Thanks.
I faced similar problem. I've 100mb 3G plan and have done normal surfing over it but both my data upload and download has been 50mb each.
I don't understand how data uploaded could be as high as data downloaded. I've not uploaded any picture or video. I use data services for few minutes and then disable data traffic to save on battery.
Will try data monitor tools to understand the cause but it seems a weird issue.
I've got a fairly limited data plan, so I try to keep an eye on data usage.
The built-in 'Data Usage' meter is very useful, but it also show some inconsistencies. For example (see the attached image) yesterday it claimed that I used about 10Mb of data, but also no apps used data during this period.
The total data appears roughly consistent with what my operator says (Sunrise, Switzerland), but I'd like to know what application was responsible, so that I could disable it.
I'd love to run Wireshark, or something similar to see what's going on here, but I guess that's impossible on a non-rooted device.
Is this a known problem? Is there anything I can do to limit this behaviour?
Device details: Stock Galaxy Nexus, running 4.0.1.
I tried switching 'Mobile Data' off altogether, and that appears to stop the data flow.
As soon as I turn it back on, however, I'm up to about 1Mb/hour 'background' seepage, that doesn't show up as any specific app.
What is the normal background data rate for things like Google services?
I tried to 'reverse tether' the device so that I'd be able to sniff the data coming through my Linux computer, but apparently the device needs to be rooted for that to work. (Something to play with over the weekend...)
Bump
Does anyone have any ideas?
Try Network Counter from mapeapps in the Market. It provides a per app breakdown...

Thanks, I'll try that!
i have a 500mb data plan and last month the network said i hit the limit whilst the phone said I'd only used 430mb. using 3g warchdog to monitor this month......
Hello,
I am running the AOKP MS2 Rom on my Galaxy Nexus.
Using the app "Traffic Monitor", I noticed abnormally high data usage by a system process. This week alone android.uid.system:1000 has uploaded 650 MB of data (only 4MB down). This accounts for 82% of ALL of my data use in the last week. What is this system process doing which is uploading so much data?
The situation is the same for wifi with this process uploading over 2GB of data.
Traffic Monitor lists this process as the following:
- Android System
- com.android.RTN
- Key Chain
- Settings Storage
- Settings
- System UI
- VpnDialogs
- Google Backup Transport
- ROM Control
- SDM
- SyncMLSvc
I have tried googling around but haven't found anything which would explain why so much data is being uploaded by this system process.
Thanks for your help!
Update
Update: I found that the Google Backup was using 2-300 MB of data per day. I have disabled this feature (thus also deleting my backups). I may turn it back on and monitor data use later to see if a fresh backup resolved the issue.
Is this the typical data use one should expect from using the Google Backup feature?
same problem here except im on stock. I'm showing ~770 mb over 4 days reported by GNex's integrated data tracker and ~550mb by vzn. I also use wi-fi regularly. I've checked every app's data usage and can't find the culprit- ran a few google searches as well and other users seem to be having the same problem. I have a hunch that this is a software bug for one of the apps- possibly constantly refreshing and pulling data when it shouldn't.
Also, recently started using google music after switching from audiogalaxy and that could be it. However, never had data issues with AG and would assume the same for gmusic- data usage for gmusic shows only 1.2mb though, so its either mis-reporting or isn't the data hog. I'll try that Traffic Monitor app and see what it reflects.. but either way, this isn't standard for all Gnex users so something is uniquely buggy to our phones..
Ever since upgrading to Lollipop (5.0.1), my G3 has been consuming vast quantities of mobile data (much more than it does on Wi-Fi) , at a rate that is threatening even my 1GB monthly cap. I have never had this issue with this phone before upgrading, nor with any other phone I have owned, and I can't find any resources about it online. It appears to use small amounts of data (a few KB) continuously throughout the day, not in large chunks, so it is not Google trying and failing to download a software update like come CM users have seen.
I uninstalled every app that I did not have before the Lollipop upgrade, as well as any potentially troublesome apps, to no avail. Then I tried booting into safe mode, removing all my synced accounts except the main Google one, turning off sync for that account, turning off data backup, clearing the caches of all my apps, and not opening any non-stock apps for a day. Even with all that, it still ran through a few megs in just an afternoon. Turning everything back on and setting accounts back up did not increase or decrease the data consumption. Restricting its background data does stop it from using mobile data, but it also seriously cripples my device (Play store stops working, sync stops working, calendar etc. stop working...)
I attached screenshots that show its data usage. It decreased considerably around June 9th because I finally got Wi-Fi in my room. But even still, it continues to eat my data for no apparent reason. I REALLY want to avoid a factory reset (and I doubt it would help anyway, since it was factory reset for the upgrade, and running everything completely stock doesn't help).
Can anyone give me some ideas here?
Info about the phone:
Model: LG-D851 (T-Mobile)
Android version: 5.0.1 (stock, rooted)
Kernel version: 3.4.0
Software version: D85120b
Network: olleh (South Korea, the same SIM card I used with the phone before the upgrade)
Google Play Services version: 7.5.71 (1955121-430)
Google Services Framework/Google Account Manager versions: 5.0.1-1602158
Hey, try limiting background data. There should be a tick above the usage graph.
Also many people have problems after upgrading to lollipop, including me, you should try factory reset. I had like half of my apps broken and frequent crashes after upgrading.

Hi Martin, thanks for the reply. I'm trying to avoid restricting background data because I often have to go long stretches without Wi-Fi, and a lot of my apps stop working properly if background data is restricted. And I don't want to factory reset because it takes me days to set my phone back up to how it was.
