Well the background data is something that helps few apps to keep synced with Data traffic. Apps like Gmail, Facebook etc. can connect to internet and execute auto sync when BG data is enabled.
The market sometimes download relevant apps updates to your device automatically, if the "Update Automatically" option is turned on market settings. So check that, because after a fresh OC [ICS] update, it is normal that the device will look for the updated version of the all the apps.
Again sometimes Gmail tries to download many emails in the background, depends on whether the auto-sync is enabled and how many days you want to sync.
And lastly as others already said that, may be some other third party app is downloading data.
Scenarios can be many. So have a closer look in the running services.

this worked but the download was from the appcalled googl.media so I believe the content might be important. I'll download that later when I'm on wifi
Hey guys been using the HOX since about 3 months and have absolutely no problems with it, except for one very, very irritating problem. I just can't seem to download anything from the play store through my wi-fi connection.
I can surf, I can download apk's, videos, songs from the browser on wi-fi i can even surf the play store on wi-fi but I just can't seem to get the downloads started, there are no error numbers. Just the message saying "Downloading" I have tried aosp,sense, and miui but nothing seems to solve the problem. Also it does download whatever I want on a 2G connection, I can't test 3G since I don't have access.
These are things I've already tried through other forums please let me know if you guys can think of something else.
1. Changed computer dns server to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 this helped I think for only one download to get through and then it ended up being stuck for other downloads.
2. Cleared cache/data from Play store and tried, no difference.
3. signed out from google talk, no difference.
Someone please help me out, I thought I'd be able to put up with it, but its very frustrating now!
Anyone?!
The same thing happens to me immediately after flashing a new ROM. I always need to download Titanium backup to restore my apps and the Play store won't let me unless I move to another wifi connection where it all works fine again.
I think it's dark magic.
same problem but no solution :|

If you have a rooted phone,install "system app remover" and uninstall the play app,and reinstall the app.
when i wanna play youtube always get "connection to server lost, touch to retry", i'm in sprint stock rom with mobile package data active, for internet is no problem, on wifi can play, when i tethering my phone as modem and i connect to my computer for play youtube is ok. it just cant play only in a phone.
somebody can help thanks.
Did you try clearing data and cache in apps? Or even uninstall and reinstall the app itself
sent from my GS3
Usually I just exit the app, hold the home button and clear all recent apps and then it works again.

Easy fast simple solution when this occurs and usually after an update. Just uninstall the app completely and then go back to google play store and redownload the app.
Have a great day!
I have been tried all the way ( clear, uninstall update etc) but still error... I tried to install other program 'tubemate' still cant connect /play the video, but when i download the video first and play later is no problem..
Maybe something wrong with my data package on my carrier??? Hmmm..
Thanks for all advise...

Same issue here. Reinstalling doesn't fix it.
Edit: But disabling Adblock Plus does fix it.

Ty, I've been hunting for a solution for some time now, and I didn't think of something like that.... It is true, when I disabled AdBlock Plus, I didn't see the error again.
Guess I either need a replacement for Adblock Plus, or something in it's settings to change?? hmmmm.
Again though, thanks again!!!!
:good::good::good::good::good::laugh:
wow thanks for this. It's been driving me insane. I removed Adblock Plus and it worked. So I installed AdAway and rebooted. Seems to still work fine also. So try that ad blocking app out. So far so good.
Solved ! ( apparently not related to AdBlockPlus)
To make a long story short, I don't have AdBlockPlus but i DO have DroidWall installed.
just forgot I had to allow "MediaServer" to access the internet (as well as YouTube of course) - problem solved.
This has been happening to me. I fixed it by going to manage apps. YouTube, Delete cache, delete data, uninstall updates and I clicked the turn off button. Ran cleanmaster app and removed junk files. Then I rebooted and turned youtube back on and now videos will play. I'm on the Galaxy S4 stock.
Hopefully this helps someone
By the way Facebook wouldn't play any videos it would say "can't play video" and now Facebook is playing the same videos that it couldn't before.

Thanks that did it for me as well. Have been searching on the internet but no real solution for people with a firewall or a privacy app (pdroid/xprivacy etc). But this made it work on my S4.

How about upgrading from that dinosaur you're using? Gingerbread is like 4 years outdated.
No AdBlock, Firewall, root or custom ROM
I have stock device 4.3 android (not Samsung btw.). As i said, no adblock/firewall/custom rom etc.
When I updated YouTube app, I got that connection problem.
I've tryed reinstalling, changing DNS1 and 2, clearing data... Nothing helped...
Any suggestions?

It's happening to me now too. But since mine's installed as a User App and not a System App, I can't just uninstall the updates, although I did try uninstalling it completely and reinstalling. No joy.
I've tried a dozen different things. You should know that lots of people post lots of "solutions", but for 95% of the users, none of them work.
I'm hurting especially bad, because it happens to me on both types of connections (4G & WiFi). I even tried a 3rd party YouTube app and that wouldn't work either.
All this since today's (or last night's?) v10.25.57 YouTube update!
I am running a Samsung.

KitKat 4.4.4 (Stock), Rooted
Thank You.

Hi,
I tried disabling AdAway and reverting back to the original Hosts file, but no joy.
This time, it's affecting both my 4G & WiFi connections. When this happened before, I could at least watch it on 4G.
The weird thing is, that if I'm not signed in, I can watch videos. But once I sign in, EVEN WHEN USING A 3RD PARTY YOUTUBE APP, I have the problem!
Yes, eventually a YouTube update will come through that will fix it (could be 6 months or so), but I'm thinking that something "underneath" it all got updated/changed at the same time, because otherwise;
Why would it affect me only when I sign in?
And if it was limited to only the YouTube app being updated and there isn't anything else being changed at the same time in the background where you don't see it, then how could 3rd party YouTube apps be affected when you sign in to them with your Google (Gmail) account?
See what I mean? Something else, "under the hood" simply must be going on, amen?

Hello everyone.
I just purchased a brand new S8+ from Best Buy, unlocked as "T-Mobile." They asked me which carrier I had, I guess so I get the unlocked version of that variant? I dunno. The phone model is SMG955U1ZKAX, for what it's worth.
Anyway, my apps are stalling if I tried to download on mobile network (LTE), but will always work on Wifi.
It doesn't say that it's waiting for WiFi or anything. They just sit at "downloading" and the little arrow notification flashes for a second and goes away.
Things I've tried:
Clearing cache and data for Google Play Store, and GP Services.
Reset the device to factory.
Installing the latest Google Play Store apk from here: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-store/google-play-store-8-0-22-release/
My problem isn't resolved. This is pretty inconvenient because if I'm out and need to download an app because I forgot, I simply cannot download it until I'm on a wifi network.
Anyone else know about this issue or know how to perhaps resolve it?
Thanks.
I'm having the same problem right now. Any solution.

stuff, while you mention the steps you took to correct the problem, you didn't mention some others that might fix the problem.
Screenshot 1: In the Play Store settings, make sure auto-update is on any time
SS #2: Go to Settings\Data Usage\Mobile data usage. Find the Play Store
SS #3 and 4: Click the Play Store and make sure you allow for background data usage. You can do the bottom one as well, but not necessary. Repeat for both Google Play Services and Media (called Media Storage on Samsungs.)
Go into your Settings and delete data for Download Manager.
sorry to dredge
So I noticed nobody had a solution. Might I suggest once you've made sure you have downloads set to both wifi and data that you turn on your wifi but do not select a network. It should start the downloads as soon as wifi is technically on.
Hello,
Just purchased a Note 5 Pro 4/64 from Mi India Store couple of days ago.
After first boot went ahead with the OTA and latest is 9.5.17 MiUi.
Facing a wired issue with play store.
I use Jio SIM and after I run out of 1.5GB daily quota, I switch to WiFi - hotspot from another phone running another JIO SIM having daily 3GB quota !!
Problem is, my Note 5 Pro stops downloading from Play Store as soon as I consume around 1.5GB data in total (WiFi + Mobile SIM). It would only resume next day morning after a reboot. Internet works in general but it's just play store which stops downloading.
Tried resetting the device but no help. Tried changing mobile hotspot to a different one, still the same issue. I have checked every inch of settings to see if I have any limitations placed for this data usage but no, all are clear and open for unlimited usage !!
Any idea what's wrong with my device?
Thanks.
Working fine here. I'm using jiofi hotspot.
Maybe problem with your WiFi router

Around 1.5GB mark, and I am done for that day with play store !!

If you don't mind and when you get time, can you please point me to the exact settings which may be causing this?
I have tried everything possible under play store settings.
Tried to uninstall the play store update, clear data or cache and everything that I can think of. But no effect !!
