Hello all,
Today I've been stuck at the gas station for one hour and a half waiting for the cashier to try to restart the computer as it was hang.
While I've been waiting, my phone was in the car completely alone.
When I have sit in the car again I have seen that I had received multiple sms messages.
Those messages told me that I was about to surpass the data limit. Another one telling that the Data limit had been surpassed...
Looking at the Data consumption log, I have seen that during that idle time the android operating system have consumed 2,6gb of data.
No extra explanations... no more details.
This simply has happened.
Anyone has a recommendation to avoid it to happen again? Anyone has seen this before?
Thank you in advance.

Good lord, why? Just drive to another gas station? Or not enough gas to do so.

Never leave children, or your phone, in a car unattended.

It was like a nightmare:
Cars before and after.
The girl in the cash was in her second day and she managed to block the entire system.

My wife's Note 5 ate thru about 6+ gigs of data after she got it and put us at the limit. I finally found a setting to stop background task unless on WiFi.
|
|
|
|
|
But background tasks include e-mail, whatsapp... doesn't it?
|
|

to the best of my knowledge it would include all of the things those apps do in the background like check your location constantly and report it to what ever app to tag you at some place, check for new messages, back up data to a cloud somewhere etc.
That can all add up real quick.
I just wish I could write a program to drill down on a low level to see exactly what is causing it.
Now the wife's phone is eating battery and it shows the system with the top 2 drains at over 40% total.

You may want to install Onavo Count[^]. It lets you determine which apps are using the most data, and you can also limit specific apps to use less. Once you've determine the culprit apps, you can shut them down (force stop) when you're done using them.

Thank you Ravi, I'll take a look at it... I'm afraid it could not help as the data usage was completely into the very own android OS...

IT system locked, people before me trying to pay (and therefore cars blocking the exit).
Cars in the entrance.
It was terrible.
The woman in the cash was very worried and nervous as she did not know how to solve that situation...

The datapocalypse is upon us!
Repent you heathen!!

Most recent versions will tell you which apps consumed how much data. Apart from that, disable auto update from Google Play. And if you use Whatsapp, etc., disable auto download of media, at least on mobile data.

In 3.x, Gradle (a Java build system used by many Minecraft mods) has a daemon system enabled by default. It appears the Gradle team did NO F****** TESTING ON IT, as it DOES NOT WORK AT ALL! It causes all builds to fail with out of memory errors (it takes up 16 F****** GB of RAM in less than 30 SECONDS!) and its native components cause Windows to bugcheck with critical service errors.
I just lost a Minecraft world I have been working on for eight days now due to a bugcheck happening while I was playing.
If someone from the Gradle team reads this, F*** you and your F****** broken system! You make GNU Makefiles look like a blessing from heaven. At least they WORK!

Thought you were complaining about Gradie on Sanford and Sons.
Logged on quick to put an end to that one and fix that little red wagon.
I need glasses.

Having no idea what you are talking about, no.

Did I just read a rant about Minecraft?

Not Minecraft in particular, just the most popular build system for mods.
Gradle is slow, and everything that team has done to speed it up has ended up causing more issues. They try to fix those, causing even more issues. Repeat ad infinitum.

Perhaps those tools were written by people who learned coding on Minecraft itself...
(I was just reading some rant yesterday that in a lot of cases Google's "hour of coding" thing used to teach kids how to code has essentially turned into letting kids play Minecraft for an hour)...

Nah, about gradle.
I's like an ant, but with the wrong number of legs attached to the wrong bits.
Apparently, lots of people love it.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
