Data being used by the system?

[razza1987]

Can someone please tell me what it means when it says 400mb has been used by the system? For wifi. The apps makes sense but I'm confused what the system uses Internet data for

The OS pulls info to feed google/samsung apps at times to keep them refreshed, such in case your contacts and etc. They are tied to TW which is tied with android. Also, clock widgets. They pull time from the system which pulls from the network to keep it accurate whether you're on cellular or wifi. It could also mean you have apps set only to update through wifi and it's just displaying s system.

Nothing to worry about.

And thanks. I scratched my ear and got wax on my finger typing this message. Now it's smeared on my screen. ....lol

Actually it concerns me that it's so high because I only get 35gb total data a month to use on both my phone and wifi. Though thanks for the answer. It makes sense and wow wtf

I see. Man, if you use that much data, you'd be considered a data hog! Lol

How is using only 35gb of data a month considered a data hog?
