Android Core Apps - Heavy data consumption

[nikeshkm]

Hi Experts,

I am using Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with Android 4.4.2 (Screenshot of "About Device" is attached). I have a 1 GB 3G data limit as I am mostly on Wi-fi. In the data usage I have observed that android core apps have been consuming too much data apprximately 20% of the total data consumption (Screenshot attached). I have tried restricting the background data, however it stops push data from many apps. Can anyone please tell me how can I identify which core app uses so much data.

Your help is highly appreciated.

Hi everyone,

Any inputs on this? More than 20% of the data is consumed by Android Core Apps.

Hi, welcome to the forums! I remember reading about problems with Android core apps. It was a battery drain and not high data usage though. In most cases it was related to Viber. Do you have it in your phone?
