1208659 - Allow analyzing Excessive data usage

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia::Cost Control, defect)

Description

[haykazyan]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:40.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/40.0
Build ID: 20150827193320

Steps to reproduce:

Using my Flame as usual, I noticed that data usage sign is constantly on in the status bar. I checked the data usage app, which indicates that I've used more than 160MB of data in a single day. This is abnormally high, since I haven't been downloading anything.


Actual results:

In the "Mobile usage per app" section it indicates that almost all of the data has been used by "Others". And no further information is given.


Expected results:

I have now turned off the mobile data. Otherwise I'll run out of my allowance. But when I turn it back on, the same excessive usage continues. I have no apps running in the background. So I think this is some kind of a system problem. I would like to diagnose and fix it.

This does not seem a problem with Cost Control. Others is a label for the System Application [1]. Are you sure you were not downloading an update or something like this?

It might be related to updating. When I first had the problem, I flashed v18D_nightly_v4 and didn't do any more updates since it was very stable. 

Today I update to build 20151023030241 of 2.5.0.0-prerelease. The update went smoothly. Then it showed some more update for applications. I decided to do that as well. It showed downloading updates in the notifications. Then the notification disappeared but it keeps using data and is back to the same behaviour. Now it doesn't show anything in the notifications, so that I can cancel the download, but keeps using data. Also I restarted the phone but the problem persists. I checked the logcat. when the mobile data is on I keep seeing the following message once a second. If the mobile data is off, it stops.

I reflashed to v18D_nightly_v4, then update to 44.0a1_20151023030241 and restored my profile and I still see this problem. It is probably something in my profile that is causing the problem. I would really appreciate if someone could point towards the right direction. At the moment I have to keep the data off which is really annoying.
