Since today my phone acted weird... it keeps transmitting data and I can't figure out what. It used 18mb since this morning and drained the battery from 100% till 30% in less than 5 hours (bad reception at work) I tried rebooting the phone, killing all apps etc but it kept going. It's going insane slow (less than 5KB/s) but it never stops. I just charged the phone till 100% again and it started again about 10 mins ago. I installed the Swype Beta yesterday, but removed it because I suspected it of transmitting beta data, thought removing Swype didn't stop the data transfer.
Is there any easy to figure out what the heck is using all this data while idling? Normally my phone uses 5MB/day and that's including pushmail and whatsapp and the battery lasts for more than 24 hours.
I haven't installed any weird applications in the past 2 weeks (except Angry Birds and Swype...)
Download 3g watchdog. Idk about standard version but I use proversion and it shows me what app is using my data.

thanks, will try that!
today it seems to be working normally again....
I had strange issues when my stock G2 (on T-Mobile in the US) would be stuck in "upload" mode, as indicated by the icon on the notification bar. It would happen several times per day, lasting anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes. When this would happen I would not be able to use any data service at all. I tried killing apps, ending processes, uninstalling apps with internet permissions, etc. but all to no avail.
I recently unchecked "Backup my data" in Settings>Privacy and so far it seems the problem has not resurfaced. I think it was using a high priority method to sync with Google and preempting all other data usage. If you have a LOT of data on your phone that changes often, that could account for a lot of upload time and data usage. I will try retesting this theory in conjunction with eunkipark92's suggestion of using 3G Watchdog.
This is strange. My phone has gotten "stuck" in upload mode a lot here lately too. I can tell you for sure that it isn't a rom causing this problem because it has followed me through VirtuousFusion 1.0 and meXdroidMod V2 & V3. I think it's googles backup service preempting all other data as well. One thing to check is to see if google is backing up anything but contacts, books, and gmail. Setting mine to only those three caused it to only happen once every week or so to me (as opposed to everyday). Also a quick fix to make it stop is to put your phone in airplane mode for 10 seconds and switch it back to normal

Yup... I also figured out it was Google backup and location sharing. It kept uploading all day sucking battery, it also caused my phone to be unstable after +-70 hours. I unchecked both and my phone is running perfect again and no extensive data usage (my current uptime is 160 hours )
Hey guys I have searched and searched for a remedy for my problem, first off here is what I am running on my i9250:
ROM: Beanstalk 1.190
Kernel: KUBO-AK r46
Baseband: I9250UGLL1
Now the problem is this, all data (wifi and cell data) randomly disconnects when my battery is anywhere lower than 50% and gets increasingly annoying the lower it gets. I do not have any powersaving features enabled and yes I have changed the advanced settings in Wifi (Keep wifi on during sleep: checked to Always, Avoid poor connections: Unchecked, wifi freq band: 2.4ghz only, wifi optimization: unchecked; i guess that is a powersaving feature as well)
Still the problem persists. The other problem is, it happens to my cell data as well, when I wake the phone up (when it is under 50% or so) I see that only then the cell data starts to reconnect, and then I get all my whatsapp messages and emails all at once. (same goes with the wifi) Keep in mind though, when I have the phone plugged in and charging the wfi or cell data are active when the screen is switched off. The problem only occurs when the battery is below 50%.
Is there anything I can do about this, it gets really annoying because I have to wake the phone up and keep the screen on, in order to get messages. I know there is a widget that keeps the wifi active regardless of the battery level, but what about the phone data when I am out and about. I need to stay connected especially with emails and whatsapp because that is how clients stay in contact with me and it sucks when they send messages and I get nothing and they have to wait for me to check or wake up my phone for the data connection to re-establish whether it be on wifi or data.
Anyone knows how to fix this problem?
No one?
Have you tried changing your kernel? Sometime kernels can have weird affects on your device.
İ think this is one of kernel problems. Battery section is controlling by kernel. Find a kernel and use smartassv2 with sio.
Yes, I swapped around a few kernels and same effect. I really am at a loss.

it happens to me as well, not sure about the 50%, but when I am at home with 3G and wifi on very often if i turn on the phone the signal bars are grey and not blue and it seems that connectionwas lost during sleep and is being turned on again
btw, I am on stock 4.2.2
Try to format /system. And reflash. İf its not work, flash stock rom and flash custom rom. İm not sure if it will work.
Believe me, I have tried every wipe and every rom/kernel combo that is humanly possible
Then problem is hardware thats what I thought. Unfortunately. Technical support helps.
I have searched as much as I can, but can't find any info on this. It has happened on both mine and my wife's M8, but only after updating to Marshmallow. If the phone dies suddenly without being able to shut down fully most of the time it will lose certain settings, like sounds, data and Wi-Fi turned off, saved Wi-Fi networks gone, etc. If it happens while starting up it has lost whole apps, all contacts; mostly acting like a first boot but some installed apps, settings, call history, text messages, etc did remain. Any ideas?

I spend the same, and also turns off me having 20 % battery....google traslate, sorry.
I get the exact same issue, but no idea why it happens :/

It's a glitch with HTC's Marshmallow version. It happens on stock as well as custom ROMs. Nothing to do but wait for an update from them, or always make sure your battery stays charged. It happens to me at 6%
Same Problem but phone dies at 20%-30%

I am having the same problem, heaps of settings change, including default keyboard, messaging app quick settings wifi etc
if my phone was dying at 5%i could deal with it but it is dying anywhere between 20 and 30% and often catches my unawares.
An update to fix this would be great.
Yup, I have the same problem only I don't lose saved wifi networks but I get signed out of every single app. I also get a google play services error which requires me to clear the apps data.
Snap!
I have been having these problems for the past 4 months (running Lollipop)
I thought that the Wifi passwords issue and app logouts was due to low system memory. (battery would die around 15%)
Since doing a factory reset and 2 weekends ago, the battery dies around 25% and I still experience app log outs etc.
My device is close to the 24month warranty limit and I need a fix urgently.
I also have Bluetooth call random clipping happening both on lollipop and Marshmallow.
This is killing me. Any fixes yet?
Lately it's been losing home screen icons and a couple settings even when I manually shut the phone down. Ironically yesterday when it died suddenly some previously missing icons I had yet to restore reappeared.
please!! any Fix ???
Any fix??? My phone does this too, and its becoming more often than a weekly thing now
A few times now manually shutting the phone down before the battery dies has led to all Google related icons (Chrome, YouTube, Play Music, etc.) being removed from my home screens and having to manually re-add them. When the battery dies it's a roll of the dice what, if anything, will be changed/lost.
In addition to almost everything already said RE: most customization is lost, apps and widgets disappear on restart, etc. I've noticed that all of the (mostly AT&T) apps that I disabled are enabled and updated when the phone comes back on! This is so annoying and is my first major problem with this phone! It's taking time to have to redo all my settings each time the phone dies!
Same problem here very annoying especially as I have to phone bank to reset my mobile banking app as it screws the settings in this. #leaveitoncharge
Yesterday mine died at 30%, and upon restarting it went through the "Optimizing Applications 1 of 261" then proceeded to come up with a warning that the phone had an internal error and might be unstable until doing a factory reset. After clearing the warning it was stuck in a "Sense Home has stopped working" loop until I could get into Settings and clear the data for Sense Home. This allowed me to at least make sure things were backed up before doing a factory reset, but more than half of my contacts were missing as well as many text, call history, etc. A similar thing happened with the wife's M8 last week and had to factory reset hers then too.
I had this problem and had my battery and main board replaced in the final month before 24 m warranty ran out.
Do a battery test *#*#3424#*#*
Then hit more, and select battery test.
Battery has to be 100% to complete teat which takes an hour. Do this when you don't need it.
My test would often show 91-94% but I had one that said 71% which I saved a screen shot.
Since the battery and main board replacement it's still my favourite phone.
solve the problem of battery and loss of settings , change the battery of my htc, now everything is fine , 3 days that the battery is discharged properly , I hope this information will help someone.
Not positive I've lost settings, though I'm fairly certain I have. I have lost app permissions many times. And my phone seems to die around 30% and won't let me boot unless I am plugged into charger. I was recently forced into a factory reset due to a message that popped up just like a somebody else a few posts back. This is a recently replaced phone (VZW replaced it as the prior had battery problems). The prior one did not do this. I hope HTC get's their act together and fixes the issue. Highly annoying.
Ive been having this issue since the beginning of the year and now it seems to happen every few days. I pretty much don't have a choice but to buy a new phone at this point, which sucks because I love my m8.
This is exactly the same issue I've been having. I'm at my wits end with having to re-do all of my settings and apps daily, and sometimes (randomly!) it won't hang onto a charge for more than a few hours even if I'm barely using it. I basically have to leave it on a charger all the time to keep it from shutting down and losing all my settings! I used to love my M8, but for the first time ever I'm considering swapping to a Samsung just to get away from these issues. I've had this phone for a little over two years and these problems only just started around March 2016 - but they've been an absolute constant since then, and only getting worse.

My phone once again is almost impossible to use due to constant lag and slowness. After using one of many apps to identify what was consuming all my CPU I discovered it was the Android OS process and then I drilled down using top command (Elixir 2 app) to identify sub-process system_server. The system_server process was constantly utilizing >40% CPU and when this is coupled with user processes, my CPU was pegged in the 95-100% all the time. This made my phone just about impossible to use.
I encountered this issue approx. 3mo ago and I tried everything to resolve, but ended up doing a factory reset to resolve it. after the same thing a few months ago. Doing a factory reset was the only resolution unfortunately at the time. Now that it the issue has returned, I have tried just about everything to fix it without doing a factory reset, here are some of the trouble-shooting:
Toggled bluetooth on/off
Disabled improve location accuracy options for both BT and WiFi
Removed and re-added my 2 Google accounts
Disabled Google account sync of Gmail, and selective options.
Toggled from Global/GSM to LTE mobile network mode
What did clear the system_server CPU usage issue was putting my phone in Airplane Mode. All this tells me it is radio related....
My phone has been extremely slow and hanging as a result the past three days to a point where it was FRUSTRATING the hell out me, at one point I almost threw it!!! After searching high and low on the web, I couldn't deal with it any long----so I too the plunge and performed another factory reset---which fixed the problem. Since this was the second time in 4 months, I'd like help identifying what is causing this to avoid it in the future.
Thank you in advance everyone!
Bump; 24 views and no replies yet.... I cannot be the only one who experienced this issue. Can we start a dialog on possible causes and fixes other than a full factory reset?
Thank you in advance,
i have the same issue just installed https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...-noble-rom-t3392289/post68300761#post68300761 and system_server consumes ~15% along with zygote ~6%. did you resolve problem?

I can see why you arrived at that conclusion but I'd caution a second look . I think its your wakelocks bud which is radio connected . until I disabled the lame google one my phone would get ridiculously hot and I mean physically hot as in to the touch turns out my problem was all the damn services the play store is attempting to use. It$ rediculous 1 app has twice almost 3 times as many service request as the rest of the phone . makes me wish play games was Foss compatible so bad I threw in on the bounty for it. But yeah try a wakelock sheriff specifically on play services and its stupid 22 (I think was what mine was) connected services and see if that helps

It looks like removing the screen pattern/password stops bumping system_server +110%, and it runs ≃ 1% CPU and 6% RAM.
Accordingly, CPU frequency is also lower. (1,4GHZ to 1Ghz).
