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.

What ROM? The AOSP ROMs were having an issue with the data usage where it wasn't calculated right.

My girlfriends galaxy S4 on AT&T is currently doing this with Pandora. Pandora is using a ton of data, mostly background data, even when she isn't using the app. I don't know how to fix it.

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.

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.

Hi,
My gmail app has used over a gig of data over the past 4 days. It happens on the 4.1.2 and 4.2 version of the app. It happens with mobile data on and has only started recently.
Any ideas?

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.

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.

Hi I have note 2 which is fantastic and I am very pleased with it. So far I was getting perfect battery life but lately it doesn't last that long so I installed BBS and this audioOut wakelock is preventing my phone from sleeping. Is there a chance to find which program is keeping this wakelock? I searched the web and there is Nino help. It is almost always on silent and I am not using it to listen to the music. Thanks

I've seen all kinds of "fixes" here - e.g. switch ringtones and reboot, turn off all system sounds, use Task Manager to turn off everything and many more.
Not one has worked for me on any ROM with any kernel, which makes me suspect that it's a rogue app. It never takes me a long time to realise that I cannot be bothered trying to track down the responsible app, so I live with it. YMMV. Viber has been mentioned frequently (never had it myself).
Sounds very similar to the Media drain problem. Similar alleged reasons, similar useless solutions, even poor Viber is also wrongfully scapegoated. What kills me is once the problem start it remains no matter what the heck you do, even if you wipe, root, change roms, format, remove/change sd card, etc... Nothing short of a hammer will solve the ****ing problem.
Download advanced task killer and set it to kill all apps at screen off. Also configure greenify to greenify all apps.
