I have stock ROM 4.1.1, original firmware, rooted and unlocked. My Question is what my gnex has done. The in-system data-volume manager says that "Android OS" has downloaded 800 MB in the background over the mobile network. This is the third time; in the last few months it has done this 2 times. In the meantime it has been reset twice.
Has anyone an answer?

Try disabling 'backup my data' under Settings > backup & reset.
But what does this "backup my data" save? Every App? The whole app? Every Data? I thought that this backup service only saves informations?

No it doesn't upload apks to Google if that's what you mean. It's worth a shot though before you factory reset.

Go to data usage in settings, press the menu button, and then "restrict background data"

That will pretty much disable auto sync for all apps unless connected to wifi.

True but on that same screen you can see a list of all apps and how much they downloaded. Clicking on each app will take you to a screen that shows how much that app downloaded both in foreground and background. You can restrict background data on a per app basis from there.

For user apps, yes you can. For android os, you cannot.

most data that any app uses is background data, almost all streamed music is categorized as background data....as long as your not hitting a data cap i wouldn't worry about it

I received an image attached to a Gmail message and selected "save" when I had no service. Three times. It added a notification of a file download each time. I now have three download notifications for the same file in my list. After a reboot the three stacked to one notification.
I've cleared cache and dalvik, and ended all running processes and it persists.
Any ideas as to how to clear a persistent and errant notification?

Good idea. After I did this the notification remains.
The notification looks to be orphaned by Gmail.
Perhaps just in UI now?

Agreed that xda search is not very good. You would think it would be powered by Google and work well for finding answer but it really doesn't.

I recognise that. I had the same problem, but you just have to wait. There is a tab that is called misc. That show up after a while, there is probably your storage disappearing.

While it was "Calculating" there is an item called "Misc", and it disappears after calculating is done. I think maybe it's your nandroid backups, Titanium backups, or some other files. I suggest you to adb shell into your device and use "busybox du -sd1" to see which directory takes most space.

use a free google play market app called DiskUsage to find exacty whats taking up your storage..
Thanks man. That worked, it shows that I have my old apps (Shadow gun, max Payne etc) still stored. Is it safe to just delete them using the app you recommended since it gives me the option to?

ASTRO file manager is a good tool for doing the usual file manipulation tasks, and it does not require a rooted phone to work with SD card contents. It's free on the Play store.
Just long-press on a file and tap "delete" or use the "multi" button to select and move/copy/delete/etc. multiple files at once.

If you are on the latest update for the phone, ICS 4.04, it is as simple as hitting the menu button on your phone and clicking on system settings. Then navigate to "Data Usage" which should be on first couple of tabs. :fingers-crossed:
Also you can call *2. It one of the options

Text "usage" to the number 1311. You will get 3g and 4g data usage along with minuets used and SMS

I would make sure that none of your apps are set to auto update. Other than that you can use a third party app like traffic monitor to see what is using your data.

Open Google Play, select your menu button, select "my apps" and then check they are not set to auto update. You should also check settings and make sure auto update is not set as default.

Go into settings>data usage and it should tell you exactly what is using data and how much.

That should tell you what app is using the data. It could be a whole bunch of things.

Did that before I went to sleep. Also here is a sample of the ones using data through the night. I'm on wifi all night but whatever is doing this uses actual phone data.

This is not a Note 2 problem but an ATT problem. My mother had the exact same problem on a much simpler phone that didn't even have a data plan attached to it. I looked at her bill online and there were countless small data exchanges over a short period of time. I spoke to ATT and told them she doesn't even have a data plan and her phone is not one to use data. I had to forcibly block Internet data from exchanging back and forth on the account level. Obviously you can't use that as a solution. Don't let them tell you it's your device because chances are it's not.

I installed pandora and used it for like 30 minutes, then havent used it for more than a week. However it has used 5 gb of data. This has never happened in galaxy s2 and nexus 7. So I uninsalled pandora from my s4 and installed iheartradio but didnt use it. Now it shows that it has already used 2 gb of data. Has this happened to any of you guys? Is it problem with apps or is it my phone?
P.s. the background data for pandora is about 4.5 gb and foreground is 500 mb. Iheartd radio foreground is 24 mb and background is 1.7gb

You can go to the data settings in the settings menu and disable background data for apps that are taking advantage of it like this.
If you are rooted you can also use an app called Greenify that allows you to automatically freeze any user app when you stop using it, and unfreeze it when you want to use it again. That will stop the app from being able to be active when you aren't using it. But you must be rooted. It is available on the play store.
Sent from your phone. You should be careful where you leave that thing.
Thanks. I disabled background data right after I installed them but I guess that didnt work.
