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.

Hello.
Got an niggling issue here hopefully someone can help me with.
Everytime I try to download an app from google play I get 'download requires wifi' regardless of what size the app is. I've checked the seetings I can think of but nothing seems to be allowing me to dl over data connection, I have 'unlimited' data allowance.
I'm using AndroidMIUI rom if that helps someone recommend me settings to try?
This seems to have happened due to the market changing to google play, ideas?
Fixed it!
Had to go into my downloader app and change the setting there.
Download using wifi only
Hi I am using MIUI ASNET on my S2 and I am facing similar problem. Even after I turn off the download using wifi only the moment i go back to the play store it doesnt not allow downloading through mobile internet. This is bugging. Any permanent solution to this?

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.
Anyone having the same trouble i do trying to downloading or updating apps from the Play Store on 4G LTE it just sits there like it's downloading but nothing happens until i switch it to WiFi and it works immediately. Yes in Play Store settings to download only on WiFi is unchecked. running stock JB rooted. Thanks in advance.
You sure its not a data network issue? That's what it sounds like.
Data works fine no problems at all.Just with Play Store.
Anyone else having this problem, it also happens on 3g. So it only downloads our update apps in WiFi. I've cleared data and cache rebooted and nothing works. I can't believe I'm the only one having this issue. Stock rooted and only WiFi tether app installed. Thanks in advance.

Okay, problem solved.
It turns out that my issue was a direct cause of my tinkering with data usage settings.
I had accidentally set the "restrict background data" option in data usage settings for Media. Media contains the component 'Download Manager' and 'Downloads' and when I decided to remove all background data restrictions last night, downloads on the play store worked again.
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 !!
:crying:
