Got to work this morning to find out I had no mobile data left (attached image). I thought, how strange, yesterday I'd had about ~1GB usage out of my 4GB available, I of course immediately when and looked to see what had used it all and Android OS was at the top with 2.13GB (WTF?).
This also isn't the first time this has happened, I had the same last month. Can someone please explain what is going on because I know for damn sure I've not used all that, I only browsed a few web pages this morning.

My bet is your phone is not up to date and you are rooted or modded. It keeps trying to download the update. We have seen this quite a few times even with automatic system updates turned off.
Use Data Saver in settings, works a treat

I agree, even the item at the top of the list is the same as when my phone does this. I was able to use FlashFire to more easily update using the OTA this month.
Just switch to the unlimited data plan..problem solved

You are indeed correct, I am due an update, however, I'm not rooted currently although, my bootloader is unlocked as I've been assisting with getting Magisk working on stock for Pixel devices.
And what kind of idiot developer/team thought downloading OS updates over mobile data without question was okay!? I've now got to go for 2 weeks without, I'm royally p*ssed about it. Guess I'd better flash the new update then while I have a (non-cellular) internet connection.
I remember when Google targeted power users with Nexus devices, I guess this is not entirely true for Pixel devices. Big boys like to do what they want, even if that means staying on a particular version of Android because we might be testing things... I'd rather not have OS updates forced down my throat, it's the same thing that bugs me with Windows 10.

You can just install the factory image on your computer and then remove the w in flash all bat file by using a text editor so that way it won't delete everything. You won't need to use any data

That's what I usually do! Just not had the time to do it recently.
this is caused by update downloading and failing over and over. I went into the dev options and turned off the auto update but it did not work. I had to update the phone manually and now its fine. I think after rooting the phone and going back to stock rom this happens.
IDK man, I was rooted and was pulling like 10gb+. Flashed stock via adb and I think it's still doing it. Project fi.
This is happening to me as well on project fi. A was rooted with beans rom and burning through 7 plus gb a month. Returned to stock completely except bootloader still unlocked. Can't install the new updates and burns through data trying over and over again. I'm not sure how to proceed other then switch to unlimited data plan on T-Mobile.

When you returned to stock did you get to the latest version?

No. This all happened since returning to stock. Today I sideloaded the August update with adb and my phone says it's on the current version finally. It seems the support people at project fi are clueless for the most part. You have to do everything yourself but they will at least credit your account for the data used by Android os if you call them and tell them what's up. They want screen shots of the data usage. So save one before you go messing with stuff

I feel like a moron because mine hasn't updated automatically from 4.4.4. Any way to force the Lollipop update? I already checked and have the 24 wait period in effect. Thanks!
Happened to me as well. Go into settings, time and date, uncheck the automatic date/time function and move the date 1 day ahead. I would reboot the phone just in case, and check it again.

Weird - just did all that and it still says software is up to date. Any other suggestions?
Called AT&T to see if they could push Lollipop to my device. No dice. Tried the "move ahead one calendar day" trick, but it didn't work. Now it shows that I can't check again for 702 hours. Ha! Any other suggestions? Maybe it just hadn't rolled out to everyone yet. I'm in Chicago, if that matters.
If you don't have an issue wiping your data then you can use the stock Odin file in the general sub to flash it back to stock and update again.
I had my wife's phone updated with a push from AT&T. She had the same issue. They have to file a ti let and tech department did it but took a few days.

I haven't really messed around with root stuff in a while, but I know even without root we used to be able to download the update, put it in the root or the SD card and rename it update.zip . Does this not work anymore? I really thought there would be a way to force the update somehow..

That would work if someone has captured the zip file or the download URL, which no one has done. Virtually every 5.0.1 related thread has someone asking for this, with the same response. No one has it, and if they did, it would be available in a stickied post.
Oh the woes of waiting for updates lol.
I remember with my OG moto droid waiting for 2.1 lol.
And how 2.2 blew my mind. Now look at it.
i had to flash oem kitkat to my att note 4, which right after the flash immediately got lollipop.
if you do got to the Samsung kiosk have them re-flash kitkat. then the download for lollipop will update after setup.
Force update to marshmallow?
Hi, absolute idiot when it comes to stuff like this.
So, i was searching through my apps list when i noticed AT&T software update.
I dont need any AT&T applications as i am in Australia and do not have AT&T.
i have tried to force an update by following the clearing data and force stopping the Google services frame work.
tried it multiple times, nothing.
Then i thought i could disable the app of the AT&T software update, and then i fell deeper into the rabbit hole of how OSPolice got in trouble and how there is 2 versions of package disabler pro.
So here i am, stuck with 5.1.1 and i have no idea what to do.
No, i am not going to root it. This is an AT&T phone, with a bootlocker on it. If anyone, *ANYONE*, can help me solve this small issue that would be much appreciated.
Hey Guys,
my Pixel decided to ruin my data usage... Suddenly it uses massive amounts of data every day. It has an opened Bootloader and Root. No custom Kernel or ROM.
Anyone any idea?
You can use data saver mode.
Is it backing up stuff to the cloud in the background?
The Device is running with the same settings for weeks and no Problems at all. I have not changed any settings in the last weeks...
The sad thing is, i cant see exactly where it is comming from... Only several service as "Android OS"....
I also had problems with high data consumption. Im my case, the NDE63V-Update was constantly loaded in the background and ended with an error message. After installing the update the data consumption was quite normal.
I have exactly the same problem?
OP how did you solve this problem?

You flash the image when Google posts it. Skip the user partition. Or use the flashall bat file but edit out the -w
Then you reroot.

Bootloader is unlocked and phone is rooted. I noticed this morning that my data usage has gone through the roof with Android OS being the main culprit. It looks like the auto system update is causing the phone to download the update over and over again. Is there any solution to this problem? I have turned off Auto Updates in developer settings and thought this had solved the problem..but it looks like the file update is still trying to run. Used up 11gb of data already.

I had this happening too. You don't have the app Ambiturner do you? It seems like the problem started after I downloaded that I deleted it but I also stopped a bunch of stuff and wiped data. Not sure what fixed it.
i had this same exact problem...not sure what it was...i did have ambiturner also, but not sure if it was that as it was the google settings app that caused the major data drain.
i suspect also it was the downloading the update over and over so i clean flashed the update and disabled everything when booting up my phone. the data drain is gone for now...
im surprised we dont see more people with the same problem occurring.

How did you clean flash the update without losing root and wiping data? Sorry if it's a noob question, but I really don't want to backup, unroot, update, restore data, and re-root.
I'm having the same issue
Ended up flashing a full 7.1.1 image and re-rooting. It killed 4.5GB of my 5GB quota on day 1 of that billing cycle. Turning off auto-update didn't help, so I put my radio on 2G until I could get a chance to flash the update.
Im thinking this problem started once i clicked download and and install in the notification for the update. Since I'm rooted and unlocked the update fails and the system tries continuously to download and install in the background.
I deleted the update.zip file from the system. Let's see if that stops it.
Cheers

Sorry for the delay in response...
When I clean flashed, I lost everything but backed up so it was fine...You can try clean flashing but not formating userdata although I'm not sure how successful that will be as I personally am not smart enough to know where root changes take affect , although it sounds like that could work...I'm no expert tho

I dont have such issue so I am assuming you are referring to the OP although quoting me?
Well here we go
This is the First Update for the XT2 in a flashable rom​
This is for those who unlocked their bootloader and installed TWRP and can not take OTA update on their phones
As most here know ower version of TWRP is not complete and cannot decrypt the /data partition
so unfortunately you'll have to wipe your phone to install this update (sorry)
Note This also Removes TWRP and restores Stock Recovery
Flashing instructions
download and copy the Stock_B130_ XT2_H1711.zip to your ex_sdcard
copy Magisk-v16.0.zip to your ex_sdcard (just in case you need to patch the boot.img)
Boot into TWRP swipe to allow system access
Go to Settings check Use rm -fr instead of formatting
next choose Wipe / Format Data / Type "yes" to confirm
Now choose Home / Install /Select storage Micro sd /Stock_B130_ XT2_H1711.zip and Flash it (watch the flash for any Red Errors)
choose wipe cache and then reboot.
If everything went well you should be on B130 and ready to setup your phone
Huge thanks go to @m0000 for sharing his updated files
If you have any problems you'll need to reflash TWRP and Try patching the boot.img with Magisk or restore your last backup or simply flash my B120 stock rom
XT2 B130 CleanRom​
Now that you have a Stock updated phone you may want to remove all the AT&T Bloat
Here's my CleanRom that removes around 350mb of useless junk from the phone.
First you'll need to flash TWRP back to your phone from fastboot
download recoveryV3_Fixed.zip > https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=673956719939832036
and extract it to your fastboot folder
Shutdown the phone
reboot to the bootloader (power + volume down + plugged in to the PC)
and flash it from command prompt with
fastboot flash recovery recoveryV3_Fixed.img
next reboot to TWRP (power + volume up )
Now you can Download the CleanRom and copy it to your ext_sdcard from your pc.
Flashing instructions are the same as above, but you can do a dirty flash by not formatting data like above if you want to keep your current apps
Here's the list of whats removed
Apps deleted from System:
Amazon shopping
App select
Call Protect
Protect Plus
Device Help
Setup & Transfer
CricketWiFiManager
Facebook
Facebook App Installer
Facebook app manager
Gmail
Google Duo
Google Chrome
Google Drive
Google Maps
Google Play Photos
Google Play Video
Google Play Music
Google Text to Speach Engine
Ignite
Lookout
myCricket
Apps deleted from /Data/hwinit/: (If you dirty flashed these will still be on your phone)
Google Editor Slides
Google Editor Sheets
Google Editor Docs
Firefox
Apps deleted from Cust:
AT&T Remote Support
myAT&T
AT&T Hot Spots
Google Talkback
everything in the H1711z folder
The rom includes the patched boot.img from magisk v16 (it's rooted)
This will probably be the only rom I release for this phone because I don't own one.
Awesome. Thank you! So if I flash magisk after I should be able to keep my root then?

Alright. I just want to confirm that the update was successful
Out of curiosity I wanted to see if I could relock the bootloader and that finally worked too. (see screenshot) I was never able to do that before on the B120 stock rom so this is great news if I ever decide to sell the phone or just wanna get SafetyNet working correctly.
I went ahead and unlocked my bootloader again and I flashed TWRP through fastboot, Booted into TWRP and flashed magisk v16 in the OP, rebooted and I am enjoying root again with an updated phone.
Thanks again guys!

I really liked this phone, i was actually impressed. I had money to spend on a new budget phone and I was between a ZTE blade spark and this huawei.
ZTE was ok for me because a couple of years ago i bought one of their big phones but their camera sucked a lot of blur and never had focus. sometimes i even had to touch the screen again and again to make it focus, while capturing video. So i gave a shot to this Huawei, went to walmart, they wanted 89 for the phone, told them to check online because it was 69 online and they lowered me the price right away.
then used the huawei for about an hour and damn, the camera is awesome, and the LCD screen is beautiful.
I have to research on how to unlock the bootloader and pay the 5bucks to make that happen.
One thing i noticed is that altho the phone has a 16gb capacity, i was looking at the storage area and you actually end up having something like 7.3gigs free. Is that normal? most of the space is taken by the rom. Your clean rom would help a lot at least to get more space, but how come it only frees 300megs.
and thank you very much for the update. i do know how damn hard it is to update at&t gophones because those assholes only let you update the phone if you have an att simcard inserted that is also activated and you have to be with an IP that is inside USA, and have celular data ON, and sometimes even having all that.. it doesnt even update

My pixel xl started bootlooping. I can get into fastboot but that's it. If I try to boot twrp, bootloop, if I flash stock, bootloop. I've tried Oreo, pie. This came out of nowhere. I tried a gsi, bootloop. I'm very confused. The memory works because its flashing. Something has to be triggering a reboot. Only thing I know of that forces restart is unencrypted internal storage

I bought a one plus literally a week ago. Lucky on my end. Whatever google did it is bad. I opened up the kernel and disabled the securities. Unencrypted the data. Still nothing. I've manually flashed over every partition 1 by 1, switched to the other slot and tried there. This looks like its going to be a battle. I've got a feeling what we flash isn't copying over some things because it keeps the newest version, which is why we can flash but not overwrite the problem
