Hi just saw how much the system ist downloading data from the internet. Because I’m new to this system I was wondering if it’s normal or not?

I did the same as you. But it’s insane how much data it is taking in the background? This is not normal, is it?

Did you by accident download OS updates over mobile data?

Otherwise I changed all apps manually background sync off.

Good idea. The size could fit a OTA

That’s what I mean …

Maybe… How can I check?
Just that you know.

I have an unlimited flatrate so it is not really a big deal. I was just wondering why the difference are so big with the background tasks.

I mean the period is from 6 june so it is always drowning so much data. If it would be updates it would be like a peak in the graphic. Or do I mistaken?

I’m not sure if you can directly check that.
Make sure, that “Mobile Data warning” is enabled in the updater settings.

I would reset the data usage statistic and have an eye on it for the next few weeks if this happens again.

I think I win on data consumption … :frowning:

I found that this app might be involved: What is “com.quicinc.cne.CNEService” because it is among the apps in the list of apps included in the usage. Do you think I’m right?

I also tried to see if system updates were downloaded over mobile data, but I don’t know where to look to be sure. Now I’ve followed your advice to disable background data usage on every app, and I’ll see what happens.
