CM12.1 File Manager is using network data. Why? - Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Why in the world is the CyanogenMod 12.1 file manager using my data network? I don't use it for network operations. Heck, I didn't even know it was capable of network access.
This worries me a bit, as it looks a lot like malware behavior.

One day I wanted to do a photo booth @ a movie theater. I got scared, as I used fing from the market, and the photo booth had an ip address!
Probably the same reason you're investigating.

I don't know about this stuff, but I know that CM has an optional account setup when installing their roms. I would think it has something to do with that, (collecting usage info, etc.). Although 10mb seems like a lot... How long have you been running it?

I was running it for less than a week when I noticed this, and I have mobile data turned off most of the time. I have never signed up for a CyanogenMod account.

Another puzzling tidbit: According to the App Info screen, File Manager doesn't even have permission to access the network.

Logcats when trying to do any of these things, or with any other errors, would be appreciated. So would some screenshots to make this post a little more attractive.
This will wipe data, backup your apps.
Download for VM here
Recommended to flash the rom, let it boot, then go into recovery and flash google apps to prevent permissions errors.
Download Google Apps here

Nice ROM! I installed it and so far so good! I know pretty much anything is better than stock. But this is getting some use out of my intercept!
Please keep the updates coming.
I'm looking to build CM7 for the Intercept, any hints? I grabbed the boardfiles from a thread on SDX, and I'm pulling a forked kernel from qnhoang81, from penguinrepair's github.

Limit 4 deauthorizations per year google music

FOUND THIS ON ENGADGET THIS MORNING. http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/16/google-music-authorization-limit-rooters/ I HAVE ALREADY HIT MY LIMIT AND HAVE MAXED OUT MY AUTHORIZATIONS. IF YOU USE GOOGLE MUSIC AND FLASH ROMS FREQUENTLY MAKE SURE YOU LIKE THE ROM BEFORE AUTHORIZING MUSIC ON THAT SETUP. ID CHANGER MAY WORK TO KEEP THE SETUP THE SAME BUT I DONT LIKE USING THAT APP BECAUSE IT AUTO REBOOTS AND DOESNT SHUTDOWN PROPERLY WHEN IT DOES.

[Q] What happens when you flash a GSM rom to a CDMA phone

Does it not boot, brick, or does service (obviously) just not work? I have a CDMA Xperia Play and as you guys probably know there is not a lot going for it in the ROM department. R800x.
I reeeeaaally wanted to use Aurora LE because I saw it being used for Nintendo DS emulation on youtube, but I bought the phone without knowing the lack of ROMs for this version of Play.
I'm only using it for wifi and gaming, so if service doesn't work that's fine. It isn't being used anyway. Anyone know about this? I apologize if it's a dumb question, I'm not used to flashing locked up phones (only tablets).
I'm expecting the answer to be "no, it won't even boot" but I just want to be sure.
I'm pretty sure it will boot, I don't know about the Wi-Fi working tho.

Thanks for the reply! I went ahead and flashed the rom I wanted originally, it booted and connected to wifi but the launcher just wasnt there (only the notification bar, wallpaper, and pull-down settings shortcut was accessible)
So I downloaded the GB LUPUS kernel and Xperia NXT (another rom that popped up on youtube being praised for its gaming power) and it works wonderfully. Everything is so fast and snappy.
My only complaint is that the "no signal" icon is always there, but to me it's worth it to have a nice GB rom.

Well obviously it WILL boot, but (as in the screenshot) you won't get any signal and data. Which means it must rely on WiFi.
That's fine for me, i had no intention of switching to Verizon
Strictly a wifi and gaming phone for me.

[Q] Permanent Notification Access?

Has anyone noticed that any application with notification access gets that access removed on a reboot? In my situation, every time I reboot the device (G3 Tweakbox I'm looking at you) it clears the access granted to some apps, specifically Missed It! and MightyText. Its annoying having to reenable them in the setting upon every reboot (in which I won't remember too until Missed It! complains about it), thus is there any work arounds on keeping it permanently enabled? Or is this a limitation of android?

Definitely not an Android thing. Some people have complained about settings not sticking after rebooting from various stock apps. I've never had any such issues though... Which build version are you on atm?

I figured as much, as I didn't remember if I had this problem on my RAZR running CM11 last time I tried these two apps. Here's my software information, so you have everything, I'm also rooted with StumpRoot v1.2 if that matters (doubtful):

Media share not working correctly

I have an S20 Ultra on T-Mobile, and the media share function acts like it has no memory. The quick select doesn't work, it's like I'm sharing for the first time every time so I have to choose the app and recipient. I've already cleared the cache for quick share and made sure direct share is turned on. Any idea if there's any way to make it remember the apps and contacts, or if there's any settings I need to change to make it work like it did on my Pixel 2 XL?

I had a somewhat similar problem. In my case, I had only 2-3 contacts that never got updated with the recent people I was interacting with.
What helped is to go into the album app and enabling access to contacts (if I remember correctly). After that the quick sharing part started working again..

Do you mean gallery app? I tried that, and it didn't seem to help.
Got a security patch a day or two ago, and as of today the share option was working again. Mysterious ways.
Coming from S10+ this is really frustrating. Share menu is a mess and in any app that I want to share photos it never remembers my top contacts or even top apps.
