I downloaded My Data Manager last month and looked at it a few days ago to see how I have used my data and such.
I noticed that there was a process called "com.sonyericsson.usbux" that had used 684mb of my data plan and 2.81gb of wifi. After some research, I found that "com.sonyericsson.usbux" is what makes it possible to connect your phone via USB to your computer. I have only connected the phone once in the 8 months I've had it so I used Titanium Backup to freeze it. I left it for a couple days and checked my usage again. To my surprise, "com.sonyericsson.usbux" had changed to "com.sonyericsson.unsupportedheadsetnotifier" with almost 1gb of data plan usage and 3.19gb of wifi usage.
After freezing "com.sonyericsson.unsupportedheadsetnotifier" since the only headset I use with the phone is the one that came with it, I waited another couple days. Of course, "com.sonyericsson.unsupportedheadsetnotifier" has now changed to something else and the usage count is still going up at an alarming rate.
I don't want to keep freezing apps hoping to get lucky and find what is sending all this data to who knows where. If I use a firewall app like DroidWall to block the bundle that includes usbux and unsupportedheadsetnotifier, my contacts, emails, etc. aren't able to sync.
I have no idea what else to do. Does anybody in the community have any ideas?
You could replace the .usbux by just using a widget on your homescreen, and uninstall the app instead of freezing. If you don't need the other apps that are using so much data, or if you can replace them, then you should also uninstall them. Since you're obviously rooted, you could do a nandroid backup before any of this, or just backup the apps in Titanium before uninstalling them, in case you're worried about messing something up. I've removed almost every single com.sonyericsson.* app and haven't had any issues as far as i can tell

I'm not sure if this is an issue with the Pixel 2 XL or an Android OS bug but it's happening on my Pixel 2 XL so I'm adding here.
I have the Google Play Store app set to automatically update apps when connected to WiFi but apps are not updating. I've been connected to my home wifi for several hours and there are still apps waiting to update.
Anyone else having this issue?

I feel like it automatically downloads when on WiFi and connected to power even though there's no setting for power connected.

I'm having this issue too....mine doesn't auto update...even when connected to power and wifi.
I have the same problem. I've literally tried everything I could think of.
Yes! Bump! I've actually been having this problem as far back as February (at least that's around when I noticed) and had been meaning to make a thread, but hadn't gotten to it 'til now; and XDA showed this thread when I was creating so, I'll be pleading here...
I, too, FOR THE LIFE of me can't correct this...!
My setup: running Oreo 8.1 May update, rooted, Flash kernel, TWRP 3.2.1-2 custom recovery, a few Magisk modules (see sig).
Troubleshooting: rebooted, plugged phone in, allowed all permissions and ability to modify system settings, I've changed it to auto-update apps "at any time" (both mobile data & wi-fi), when updating to May patch I wiped the System partition and flashed the May Full Factory image, cleared Play Store app cache, cleared Play Store app data, uninstalled Play Store updates, Disabled Play Store - then Enabled, uninstalled Google Play Services updates / reset to factory version, and finally manually updated Google Play Services.
Anyone, any thoughts/ideas/advice?! I had hoped the last 3 months' security patch updates might fix this, but since it hasn't, my last hope is here...! :begging:
P.S. I am hoping that flashing a full factory image with the -w intact/included is not the last and only option...

I've said it before that, for me at least, I've noticed it only auto updates when plugged in even if I have plenty of battery like greater than 50%. I'm set to auto update on WiFi only. I'll go into the app store and see I have a handful of update, plug in, and see them to start downloading.

I eventually noticed as well that it only updates when plugged in. I'm not sure if it has anything to do with how charged the battery is but I haven't looked too closely at that.
....yea...I've also plugged in as well, i'll edit to reflect that...
...BUT I think I'm onto something...does anyone/everyone that has this problem have Titanium Backup installed and running btw???
Same, only auto updates when plugged in...
I always have Titanium which is running normally... Awesome app!
Yea...I get that apps are really only automatically updating when plugged in. But assuming even that isn't allowing apps to automatically update....
i'm more wondering if @upperbladez and @smokeythebear3 have Titanium Backup installed; as that's what was stopping the updating the apps automatically....

Yeah...I had really high hopes earlier as well, but found that it wasn't TB. Because there is a setting in the preferences that deals with auto-updating and it seems that, by default, it sets it to Disabled, but even after Enabling it, it hasn't gotten auto-update to work.
I had inadvertently thought it worked because, at the same time as the TB discovery, I reset to factory settings both Google Play Store and Google Play Services (as I have many times before). This seems to have the auto-update work once, but I can't get it to replicate or do it again after this first initial time. Also, it's hard to debug, troubleshoot, and test because I have to wait some time for a number of apps to need updating before I can see if it truly works or not.
I hope someone has an idea or thought that might explain why or help reach an explanation...

Yeah it's so agitating?
I think I figured it out....[GUIDE] included!
I think I figured it out (at least in my case) -- but I think it's probably applicable to most any other(s) who are having the same issue...
First of all, if you have Titanium Backup, make sure to set Default auto-update app to Enabled
Go to Menu
Preferences
Go to Restoration Settings
You will find Default auto-update mode in the section; 4th on the list within that section
Go to Google Play Store App Info
Clear Cache (inside Storage)
Clear Data (also inside Storage)
Disable the app
Click OK when warned that it will "replace this app with the factory version..."
Go to Settings, Apps & Notifications, See all ### apps
At the top right, select the 3 verticle dots and select "Show system"
Find and select Google Play Services
Clear Cache
Go back to App Info (back arrow; arrow pointing left), at the top right, select the 3 vertical dots and select "Uninstall updates"
Click OK when warned that it will "replace with the factory version..."
Reboot
Download the latest Google Play Services
HERE'S one place you can find it and/or you can Google search to find other copies yourself...
Pick the newest latest version (beta if you wish to be on bleeding edge but stability not ensured)
Choose the Android 8.0+ variant
Download the "arm64 + arm" & "nodpi" one
Install the latest Google Play Services using the file you downloaded
Reboot
Go back to Google Play Services App Info (show all ### apps, show system, etc.)
Clear Cache (of Google Play Services)
Go back to "show all ### apps"
Select the drop-down menu and select Disabled
Select Google Play Store
Clear Cache and Data (of Google Play Store inside Storage)
Plug Phone to charger
Launch Google Play Store
Select the 3 stacked horizontal lines on the top left and go to Settings
Select and configure how you wish to auto-update apps
Click on Play Store version (all the way on the bottom)
After pressing OK (it'll most likely say Play Store will update soon), it may or may not begin downloading components for the Play Store. After a bit, it may or may not actually begin auto-updating...
In the few instances I've done this and on the 2 pixel 2's I have access to, the auto-updating may begin soon after (within 2 minutes), or eventually (sorry for vague description, but I had thought these steps didn't work and wasn't paying attention and after a while, I saw it auto-updating!).
Also, it still seems that it'll auto-update only while plugged in charging. That particular bug/requirement hasn't been resolved, but as this is specifically an auto-update troubleshooting thread.......
Hope this helps any/all who is having the same issue. I hope (but am doubtful) that this will work for everyone; but if it doesn't, I'd have to say that it might be something with your ROM (stock or custom), settings (system or another app interfering [As I found out TB actually might/does]), or some very unique bug because this is probably the most comprehensive app reset for Google Play. It's kind of overkill, but you might have some luck going the "last resort" route and flashing the Full Factory image in hopes it'll fix the system and app comparability issues (if that is indeed the reason...).
In the end, I hope this helps any who might be having this issue....:victory::highfive:
I have this same issue. I tried wiping Google Play cache/data and had a hell of a time getting it to show my installed apps after that. I don't have TB installed so I'm not really sure what's going on. It's a PITA having to manually update apps all the time.

Yeah....but maybe uninstalling Google Play store (not just cache and data and actually reverting to an older version) and doing the same (sorta) towards Google Play Services is the critical difference (as shown in my guide)... Hopefully that sorts ya out...!:good:
Good luck to ya!
I'm set to auto update over WiFi, and I've never actually paid attention.. but my apps are always updated and I get the notification stating that 13 apps were updated... So it must be working on my end?
EDIT: Not sure if it would make a diff, but I am running latest DU...

Yes, that's "the dream" . For us/me, that wasn't happening -- for whatever reason; whether it was set to do it over WiFi or both mobile & WiFi.
I used to not pay attention either, until I went and checked and kept finding a list of 50+ apps needing to update and/or all these apps were outdated every 3 or so days! Then I realized I hadn't been getting that which you are experiencing... And, as @corywf as stated, it can get quite tedious and annoying having to manually "Update all" every few days just to keep all the apps up-to-date! (Curious note: I never realized how many times in a small number of days certain apps actually update; it's like every 2 days! Which is nice and good to say towards the app as the devs are continuously working on it -- Instagram, Nextdoor, and Chrome come to mind -- but certainly rather annoying when manually "keeping up") Especially when we've all experienced these things happening automatically and in the background...
I had this issue since the Feb or March update I think but since flashing the May update, apps are back to updating automatically

That's good! I believe it was around the same time I noticed the issue as well (although as said in my last post, this is usually something that is in the background and done automatically so I can only say it was around this point). I'm glad flashing the latest update worked -- I'm wondering, did you flash a Full Factory or an OTA? -- and hopefully it works for others. But, unfortunately, I had Full Factory flashed to the May update with no such luck. It took my guide (a little up above) to fix it on me and my gf's Pixel 2 (non-XL)...
Cheers! :highfive::victory::good:
Just ordered the 6pro. On my current samsung A71 5G, there was an app to transfer the data, files, apps from
my old phone to the sammy.
I didn't really find one, there were some apps but is there a sure fire way to transfer the apps, files etc from my
samsung, over to the pixel 6 pro, when I get it?
TIA

My preferred method is to transfer files from the old phone to my laptop and then transfer from there to the new phone. Then I gradually add the apps back over time starting with the most relevant.
I use Google's own built-in Android cloud backup option. When your new phone gets to the part where it suggests you plug your old phone into your new phone, you could do that - or tell it you don't have the old phone and then it will offer you the available cloud restores for your account.
Edit: I'm assuming your old phone isn't rooted, being a Samsung. Being rooted would give you all sorts of other options like Swift Backup, and Titanium Backup, and others, which when used on rooted phones could backup and restore more app data than any non-root solution.
Have fun with your new phone.

No, it's not rooted. Knox...
I just don't look forward to installing all the apps again. That's ONE thing I did like about the A71 and the samsung app that transferred everything from the old phone to the A71. SIMPLE.

When I relatively briefly went back to Samsung (Note 10+) between my Pixel 1 and this 6 Pro, I used Samsung's app to transfer over cable what it could and I don't think it transferred any app data, only apps themselves. Google's cloud backup at least backs up and restores app data for apps that the developers have implemented that in.
I do miss LG's built-in non-root backup and restore function I had on the G3. It was almost as capable as root solutions - it got nearly every piece of app data. I was rooted anyway, but LG's solution was so good I only used Titanium Backup for apps that didn't restore app data via LG's tool.

There seems to have been a lot of people who had problems with their phone when they first got it because they transferred data, apps, etc., from another phone. Heard a lot of stories about when they clean installed everything the problems went away.
Not saying this will happen to you, but might want to think about clean installing everything initially just to avoid potential problems. Just an idea...
I dont know much about the A71 but I upgraded from a Samsung Note 10 to the 6 Pro and used the direct cable option. Inserted sim into the pixel, powered on and followed the screen prompts. It transferred everything EXCEPT some apps that came from the Galaxy store.
Even the files on my sd card were transferred to the pixels internal storage. Kept folder structures too. I have to say I was impressed that I didnt lose anything. Just had to replace Samsung apps with either Google or third party apps.
Used the included cable, got everything transferred, then all the apps that required to be updated by google.
The only "issue" I had was after putting in the sim card (at&t prepaid), I had no cell service. The at&t message
came up, connected me with a semi-English speaking person, told them what phone I was using and LOL, this
is what she said "The google pixel 6 pro is probably not compatible. I told her...ummm it just came out not
that long ago. After giving her my IMEI number, the model number of the phone, presto/jumbo/mumbo and
it started working.
LOL...not compatible. Reading from a script most likely. Also, she mentioned that it won't work on 3G
Gee, no kidding? LOL
I'm with the people that say do a clean install. I have ran into too many issues over the years transferring data, apps, media, etc. from my old phone. Also I have found that there were many apps on my old phone I never used. I got my P6P a week ago. Before I moved to the P6P I copied all photos, videos, downloads, text photos, and other stuff I needed from old phone to my computer. I'm not a huge fan of moving old texts to new phone but if you are (like my wife who has 6,000 texts she cannot live without use SMS Backup & Restore. In reality this is a good practice for me to backup. Not a big fan of only having only the cloud. Afer this I booted up P6P and logged into google. Contacts updated through Google. I essentially install other apps when I need them on my phone and move stuff from my computer backup to phone. This might sound old school but I don't like being dependent on cloud etc. when going to new phone. I want my own backup on everything. I also have found I run into less issues doing it this way.
I did a full device transfer using the Samsung app from the Note 10 to the S21 recently and have been having issues with the S21 since. I'm sending it back and have the P6P on its way, and I intend to do a clean install to avoid app data giving me issues.
