How can a disabled Hangouts use background data? - Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've had Hangouts disabled since I got the phone a year ago and this month it's showing in my mobile data usage. 5kb only but how is that possible? I've confirmed it's still disabled.
Is it to do with the new Google Messenger update and it's JibeService aka RCS service that runs 24/7 now?

[Q] Data Usage

I just noticed that suddenly Google Services start using more data over the few days period. Previously it was not the case. Currently data usage is around 220 MB for 14 days, out of total 99 MB has been used by Google Services and all data usage is in background. I doubt it might be one of major reason, I start loosing my battery less than day.
Are other people facing or Am I alone in the ship.
Recently I did not install any new application which is main culprit of this.
For record purposes, I am using GSM 4.0.2
Waiting for your feedback.
Do you have google music syncing?
No. Don't have Google Music Sync
What does it list? Mine says 0 foreground and 1.04 mb in the background for an entire month. Listed is Bookmarks sync, account manager, services framework, contacts sync, network location.
Did you clear all of your contacts from your phone? Do you have a couple thousand contacts with pictures?
It mentioned contact bookmarks and all in background 100 Mb in 14 days.
Don't have thousand of contacts with photos only 20 to 25 max
perhaps any other things you are syncing? (google+ for example?)
Did you ever find out what was causing the issue? I've noticed the same thing recently and haven't been able to track down why Google Services is suddenly using so much data.
Backing up application data perhaps?

How to check it? There is no change in installed apps recently.

Tried turning that off and it didn't help much. Still on the same pace for data usage as zoobihoobi. Google services has used 100Mb in 7 days and last month it used 11Mb for the entire month.
Similar issue
I've gone from 3-5mb monthly to 80 in 6 days, an then it has tapered off again so that it's back to much the same. Any ideas?
I have the same issue here. 134 Mb consumed in the last 6 days.
I am constantly installing and updating apps, so maybe one of these apps is very hungry, but how can I check this out?
It's getting on nerves now....No way to find the culprit and usage data is increasing day by day....
Same here. 0 foreground data, 68M background data over the last 5 days.

Ditto here:
0.00 Foreground & 60.75MB in 7 days with no significant changes in apps etc.
Same issue here. Google services consumed, in background, 32mb in 5 days.
Galaxy nexus.
Possible Clue to the enormer data consumption
Hi,
I have the same problem with my G Nex. Went from about 5MB/month to 80Mb/week and 21MB used only yesterday.
I found a possible cause on the galaxynexusforum. I can't post links in this forum yet, so go to the forum and search for a thread titled: "problems with google services framework"
In this thread it has been suggested that it may have something to do with the syncing of the stock browser. And indeed, when I went to the sync setting, the only indicator of currently syncing was shown next to the browser. I deactivated it. I will report back in a day or two, if that was any help.
Meanwhile, maybe some of you want to give it a shot as well.

Well... Noticed as well. Google services now reaching around 300MB since 15/03 ... Something is not right... I have no syncing except Gmail (email, calendar)...
I have a problem like this before, some exchange services was using huge amounts of data and battery constantly...
What I did was disable my Exchange Mail accounts.. (remove them)... After I confirmed that was the problem, I re-added my exchange accounts and the problem hasn't reoccurred..

Not receiving some push notifications

Has anyone experienced problems with some notifications? Just recently I stopped receiving push notifications for both Hangouts and Whatsapp? My messages only appear when I enter the app. I've even cleared the app data for Hangouts, uninstalled, reinstalled, and it solved the problem but only temporarily. I can't determine if it's a phone, marshmallow, or app issue. This is my first time on marshmallow and I've never experienced this before coming from KitKat on my HTC M8.
I've had the same issue since updating the OS software last week. Any help on this would be much appreciated. I'm not receiving push notifications for any apps anymore. All settings are turned on to receive them. I've even downloaded an app to push the notifications and it doesn't work.
Are you sure DND mode is not active?
Absolutely positive.
I managed to fix it through a whatsapp forum about not receiving push notification for that particular app. Hopefully this helps the OP.
When I got my phone I restricted background data on google services because it used 10gb of data within a 10 minute period of turning on my phone, mostly coming from that. For the first 2 months I was still getting push notifications for all my apps, but with the most recent OS update something must have changed it so the settings were no longer compatible.
So I re-enabled background data on google services and it started to work.
See if that helps. If not, I'm stuck on ideas.
Good luck an let us know how you go.
I was wondering if anyone had any problems with yahoo mail I only recently get emails notifications Wen I open the app I can't find anywhere in settings Were you can change sync every 5 minutes or so on I don't know what it's set at

Facebook messenger keeps dying

Hey! I'm having an issue with facebook messenger since the nougat update(I'm now on OOS 4.0.2) . After turning the screen off messenger and all of its services are killed(I checked in running services), including chathead service and messaging service. Unfortunately with no messaging service I can't receive any messages until I manually start the app. I updated through OTA without factory resetting, after the problem occurred I tried factory resetting but it didn't help. Does anyone know if this is a messenger problem or a nougat problem and of any possible fix?

Go to settings -> battery - > Aggressive doze and app hibernation -> find fb messenger and put it into not optimized app group.
I don't have aggressive doze turned on, also auto close high power usage apps is turned off.
I think your problem should be solved if you gonna use Facebook with chrome meanwhile. It's updating your news, messages and notifications in your statusbar. It's more battery friendly. Or use the app "swipe for Facebook". The official fb-app isn't the best choise - the battery drain is huge. @thalvadzhiev
I'm not sure the problem is connected to the main Facebook app, since I'm getting Facebook notifications(like if someone posted in a group), but I'm not getting messenger notifications.
Try to clear app data and cache of Messenger app, you won't lose your chats, only settings. Then login again and report here again
@thalvadzhiev do what @slmadmax said. It makes sure your messenger won't be killed.

I don't even have aggressive doze turned on. Also I've found that usually messenger survives through the night but once I start using it during the day it starts dying again. Since doze is on through the night and doesn't kill it maybe it is not the one that kills it during the day too.

Then Idk.. U can try it but if it still happens it might be a messenger issue.

Mobile Data issues

I currently have G3 D855 2gb variant running Lineage OS 14.1, running xposed with chromepie, adblocker, app settings, all notifications expanded. standalone appops with google apps blocked from wakelock and autostart (figured this would be problem for gmail and youtube, but i guess its not).
I've been experiencing app sync problems on data, usually mails.
When the phone is connected to wifi, it syncs immediately, whilst on data it syncs much later (gmail for example would notify me couple of hours later, sometimes even days), whether being plugged in or not
With aquamail I managed to reduce that delay with automatic checks every 15 minutes, but the thing, after leaving phone idle, overnight for example, in the morning it would say no access to internet since couple of hours after leaving the phone, but when I wake it up, it syncs up, while on wifi it syncs when the mail is actually received and showing the led notification in the morning. Tried leaving plugged in, same problem. Googled, but its always one specific app and version that has that problem, but the thing is, I experienced this on all apps, including whatsapp, on various roms.
Checked doze optimizations, enabled/disabled that, checked/unchecked restricted background data, tried alternative apps, tried various roms on nougat, marshmallow.
What gives?
Is this an actual problem or just the way how android works?
I have 1.5GB per month data plan, so data is not the problem, and when browsing, never had issues, in many occasions it worked better than on wifi.
I hope I have explained my problem to you.

Mobile/background data not working properly with Android 9

Hi,
I have strange behaviour with the latest update to Android 9 (as well as with the security patches from Dec as well as with the latest one of January):
If I'm on mobile data I get messages/emails from Signals and gmail only after opening the app manually. I already checked that the apps are not battery optimized and are allowed to use background data. Does anybody else also facing this issue? Which settings am I missing to change?
Furthermore I have an even more strange issue with working profile: I'm running whatsapp in working profile, it does not work on mobile data at all (even not if I open it manually). Access to internet works in working profile (e.g. chrome), but I can neither send nor receive messages on mobile data. Does any background app also needs to be not battery optimized ?
Argh, finally I got it. Resetting the apn settings solved the problem, see https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/help/mobile-data-issue-pie-update-t3884664
