Um, that shows less than 2mb used. If you are actually having issues, turn off Google + and other services' sync functionality in settings.

Is the posted image indicative of your data usage? 2mb over 10 days doesn't seem like there is any problem at all. If you want 0, then turn off auto sync completely in settings -> accounts & Sync

The image was mine....to show what the Google services says when clicked as an example of what it is using data for.
He said 200mb in a month....sounds like he has a lot of contacts synced, maybe a lot of other data being synced also (settings etc from what the app looks like it would be used for.)
Edit: just thought of this....how often do you use network location (checkin services, GPS, maps, etc.)?

Not a lot like 2 per week, the problem is that the log doesnt specify which google service is using...

same problem for me, 100 MB in 1 night.
Data usage monitor in ICS is fantastic: you can analyze all the past by moving the 2 rulers!
About the solution, please share.
I have picture sync only wifi, can it be a late bug?
In case I stopped the syncing, will see what happens
PS many in this thread have been mislead by your picture, I will upload one (once the problem is solved)
System Update Uses Mobile Data
Hey Guys,
I had the same problem last night - I got a Data Usage warning because Google Services started downloading the Latest System Update!
I guess there's no option to "allow an update over WiFi" Only ... THANKS GOOGLE! - LET ME CHOOSE IF I WANT YOUR UPDATE OR NOT ... idiots...
Anyways, to fix it:
Disable Background data for Google Services completely (Settings -> Data Usage -> Google Services -> Restrict Background Data)
Then go find a WiFi hotspot and re-enable it so you can get your System update.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,

hi guys since last two weeks im experiencing that google services is using about 100mb per HOUR that is shocking ,this dint happen before .I used to have background data services active ,google facebook news twitter sync active all the time even then it used to be hardly 40-50 mb a day.now i have switched the background data off ,but its of no use as the 3g signal bar grays out and I dont get any push messages or alerts ,and when Iam back home the mobile leeches on to my wifi and consumes approx 1GB data a day.out of which 95% is used my google services and 5% by Facebook twitter whatsapp news weather and other heavy widgets and apps.
so i assume there is some issue with google services in my mobile as contact bookmark sync cannot use 900mb (approx) a day .
Im on 4.2.1 , two things, also around two weeks back I had reinstalled the ROM ,dont know how a reinstall can cause a problem and when i goto settings>apps>running apps i can see maps running in background( dont know if its a default thing) even though I have switched off the location access etc and did not use maps since this problem started .
plz help
Did you solve this problem please? i have the exact same issue :|

same problem here... 1GB overnight.. i'll research in it tonight. but i dont think its the updated cuz i'm on slimROM which doesnt update unless i flash an update through cwm.
You can't turn off background data for certain apps?
It is happening to me too, started 3 days ago.
I'm adding some screenshots about it.
These threads [1], [2] talk about the OTA for 4.3 being downloaded by the Google Services app.
Maybe disabling the receiver for the update received as this guy comments [3] may solve the problems.
However, in my personal case I think updating the phone is always a good thing, and 4.3 should come with the Master Key bug fixed, so it's worth a try updating anyway :good:
Cheers!

Same for me
From the 31st August which was yesterday until today the 1st September Google Services used 472MB.
I have no explanation for that as I do not think that it is a ROM update OTA. I am using Cyanogen Mod.
Does anyone have another idea? I disabled Google Now completely now as I thought maybe that is the problem. It was exactly the same last month...same time period. Something seems to happen between the last days of a month and the first one or two days of the new month :-/
Hi,
same problem here...got data warning sms after google downloaded approx. 180mb over night on JellyBear 4.3.3
Now I'm on CM hoping that crap doesnt happen again.
[Q] Getting "RPC:S-5:AEC-0" error in Google Play store after updating to 4.2.2
Hey all.
So finally got the OTA update to 4.2.2 last night, but now im getting a "RPC:S-5:AEC-0" error every time i try to update or install any apps via the Google Play Store. Now i have seen some people with the same problem that say that it will just fix itself. I have also seen other people that say that deleting and re-adding your Google account to the device will work. Problem is, I don't have the option to delete my Google account. The only option i have is "Sync now", no "Remove account" options like all the other linked accounts.
So, really, i guess i have 2 questions:
1. Does anyone know of a sure fire way to fix the "RPC:S-5:AEC-0" error?
2. Does anyone know of a way that i can remove my Google account so i can re-add it?
Thanks!!!

To remove the Google account you need to be in the list of apps and then select the menu item to remove account.

This is more common than you'd think....just remove your Google account under settings and re-add the Google account works like a charm

For some reason i dont have the " Remove Account" option. Ideas?

Hi,
I also have this [RPC:S-5:AEC-0] error for weeks now, and I can't solve it. I've exchanged emails with google support, but with no solution found. What I've tried so far:
- Removing and re-adding the google account
- Adding a second account, removing the first one, re-adding the first one, removing the second;
- clear data and cache from Google Services Framework, Download manager; Play store, in several different combinations (only data, only cache, cache then data, data then cache, reboot, no reboot, etc...)
- Factory reset my Nexus - yes, I went that far, with no result.
Anyone with new ideas? Thanks.

Removing and re-adding the account was the only thing that was able to work for me. I dont know where you are trying that from, but give it a shot from the "account" options in the "Contacts" section of the phone. that was the only way it worked for me.
That also didn't work, but thanks for the tip. Still going desperate...

Same boat as you with the "rpc:s-5:AEC-0" error when viewing my apps for about a week or so now. Wanted to post in this thread as it was first result for "rpc:s-5:AEC-0" in Google and had comments about trying everything with no luck.
I'm running JellyBeans 13 ROM and just came from an older version of CleanRom with the same issue. I've tried everything listed below. Also want to note I was on version 3.?.? of Google Play in CleanRom and JellyBeans flashes 4.0.25 My issue from CleanRom was that none of my apps would update...they would error out when i tried to update all. I fixed that particular issue by "clearing data" and "force closing" Google play under application management. From there though... which I don't know if it was like this before or after I just did that but I noticed the "rpc:s-5:AEC-0" error when viewing my apps right after.
Tried everythign in the below sites with every varying combination possible.

I
Removed my Google accounts (all accounts in fact..skype, linkedin, facebook, etc) via accounts under system menu AND once via contacts menu.
Wiped data from Google Play store, Google services framework and Google Play service in every combination possible. I also wiped dalvik cache and cache between a few of these attempts as well.
Cleanly Flashed JellyBeans 13 ROM (and damn its nice. highly recommended with Perseus kernel)
Uninstalled 4.0.25 via titanium backup, reboot, dalvik cache/cache wipe and installed 3.10.14 with no luck. Just installed 4.0.25 again and having the same issue.
Also I've been checking Google play on my desktop throughout this entire ordeal with the account that has all my purchase and its been saying "We're sorry, there was an error. Please try again later." when clicking my apps.....no issues looking at my videos or my music.
Cannot repurchase old apps. States "an error occurred while processing your purchase. please try again later' as well as "this purchase can not be refunded because you have previously bought this item"
I can purchase new apps no problem. And when I restore paid apps via Titanium back up they work and are recognized in the market as installed and paid for.
A few questions and opinions for posters
You said you have been emailing Google support about it. What are they telling you or having you try?
What happened before or when you noticed this? How long...as in maybe a Google side issue?
What does your Google play account say when viewing my apps via desktop browser?
Are you on a custom ROM or made any changes at all to your market settings?
What version of Google play are you running?
It seems from what I've read and with everything I've tried it could very well be on Google's end and how they identify your gmail or some associated account ID. I've read people fixing the "rpc:s-5:AEC-0" issue by restoring their previously fond ID when prompted in Titanium backup. But I found no such previous ID to backup to within TB....and never hear if they cannot view their apps via desktop browser similar to my issue.
If it was fixed by simply removing and re-adding accounts for you....it's like something triggered or matched correctly on Google's end to make the proper association. Or not. At a loss at this point.
Trying to answer all your questions:
- I've had this problem for over a month now;
- Google support says they know of the problem, and are passing all the info to their engineers, sorry about everything, etc...
- Stock, locked, unrooted maguro running 4.2.2 (rooted sometime before 4.2.2 was out, back to full stock since then)
- Google play app 3.10.14
- I also get the same error as you when looking as my apps in the desktop browser;
- I can see my purchases if I login to google wallet
- Some apps I cannot install, some I can; I can never update an app directly, have to find the app in a desktop browser and send it to the phone

And by now, I'm almost sure this is a problem with the account on Google side - not with the app, not with the device. I have a Nexus 7 (4.2.2) with two users, and on my side I get this error, on the other user there is no issue...
I HAVE GOT THE ANSWER!!!!
This error happens if you are logged in with your Google ID on an android device, then you log in again with the same Google account on another device, BUT the time zone setting is different. This may happen if you just bought a cheap Chinese tablet, smartphone etc. and added your Google account in Settings, BUT missed to set your correct time zone (by replacing the default Beijing Time).
AS SIMPLE AS THAT! :laugh:
Got it?
If yes, just hit the Thanks! button.

I don't think I have ever done that, but anyway, that would be the cause - what is the solution? And FYI, I got a message from Google saying this is now "Known Issue #7582577".
You aren't alone. I worked with Google on this issue and after 6 weeks they sent me an e-mail with a link to their known issues page. I have 3 devices and they are all doing the same thing. Can't access any of the over $100 worth of apps. This is very frustrating. Also, I tried checking the time zones and they are all set to Central Time.

I don't have 100$ of apps, but am also frustrated for not having access to the apps I paid for. And now I'm weary of buying new apps (sometimes I don't get the error and can reach the payment phase for new apps), because I don't know what will happen next. One would think that Google would be better at handling the opportunity to get our money...

Hey all,
I got the same problem, tried the removing/readding my account theory and that worked. I noticed that Google Talk stopped itself. Since I don't have an issue anymore, can someone try clearing data/cache/force quit on the Talk app and see if that works before messing with the Google account?

Tried it, doesn't work. Also tried adding Talk to the group of apps to which I was previously clearing data/cache (play store, download manager, google services framework, google play services), reboot and... still doesn't work.
I've mentioned I have done a factory reset on my GN, and it didn't solve the problem - so it clearing data and cache on whatever won't solve my problem, there is some problem with my account on google side.
Another thing I've been seeing is that I can install and update some apps, but not others. I wonder if this has something to do with the permissions required by the apps...

Alright, thanks for the effort.
Here is my current situation:
About a week ago, I noticed that I had stopped receiving notifications from Gmail. I could still open the Gmail app and read my emails, so I didn't think much about it. Then 3 days later, I noticed that none of my email was showing up, and when I would try and refresh or sync from within Gmail, I got a message that there was no network connection. After that, I went into my Account Settings to verify that I had not somehow accidentally turned off Gmail sync. It was, in fact, still checked. However, it showed that it had not been able to sync since 2/13. Additionally, my Google Calendar, Google Play Music, People Details, and one or two other services are not able to sync. There is a message at the bottom of this screen that says "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly". Like I stated, this has been the case for 5 days.
I will also list what I've done to try and fix it so far, just so I don't get a bunch of suggestions that I've already tried.
- Clear cache for affected software. No Change.
- Clear DATA for affected software. No Change.
- Turn off, then turn on Sync for my Google account several times, with and without rebooting in between. No Change.
- Wipe the Rom, then install a new Rom and kernel. Upon doing this, I could not even get past the registration, as the phone repeatedly said that it was unable to contact Google servers. This was attempted both on LTE and WiFi. I eventually had to Restore via CWM.
The device is running the FML fork of CM11 and has the Mpokang 1080p kernel. I have been running this setup for a few months with no issues at all. Gmail still syncs and functions fine on my Xperia Play and Kindle Fire when on WiFi, so it doesn't seem to be an overall problem with my Google account.
Any other ideas as to what I might try?
I've attached screenshots of the issue. Two of the images show what my Google Account Sync looks like, and one image shows all I can see when I go into the Gmail app. I did black out my account name, but that is all.

Last night, my Google Play Store stopped working. So I did a little more research, and was able to resolve the problem. If anyone runs into this issue in the future, it was simply a matter of having a somehow corrupted hosts file. If you use ES File Explorer (or other similar app), navigate to your root directory, go to /system/etc and find the file called "hosts" without a file extension. You have to mount r/w, then rename, move, or delete the hosts file. Once this is done, reboot the device. It took a bit longer to fully reboot, but once it did, all functionality returned.
Anyone experience battery drain cause by Google Play Service?
the damn thing always suck hours of CPU, ****ing fed up to wake up in the morning and see battery left only ~60%.

had tried install GServiceFix, uninstall any apps that might be accessing play service or GPS or sync, disable sync, etc. last night disable location and that's the only time play service didn't top the battery usage.
any suggestion?
This may sound like a stupid question, but did it take care of various updates at all? I've never ever known google play to take up any significant battery. Things like Facebook do take up the battery, and Facebook in particular takes the longest time to install and update for some reason and, despite a 45-ish MB apk size, takes up a good 200+MB.
But some other apps also use significant CPU and battery power as well.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Play_Services
Its a system service within Android OS, can't uninstall, can't stop or disable. almost all google apps need it to function, many other apps also rely on it. If its 3rd party app, we can easily iron it out and just trash it, not this.
This is not the first time I experience google play service draining the battery, some time it happen after it was updated, sometime after OS/firmware upgrade, other times, it just feel like draining my battery. I never able to solve it, despite many many claimed solutions on the web. then after few weeks or so, everything back to normal.
I do not have social apps running in the background, only whatsapp. I can only guess its the location service that's causing this issue but I can't pin point which one. I need google map to check real time traffic and route planing, disable location is out of the question.
I'm asking if anyone else is having the same issue or its just me.
Hmm do you by chance have the Google photos backup on and maybe you take a lot of photos that are being backed up overnight? Been there done that, that's why I'm asking..

I'm 99% sure it's Auto-Sync under Accounts. I have a VZW version of the 10 but I found that was my culprit.
Mine from Android core apps but I don't know what. This stuff didn't show up in built in battery menu.

I do have photo backup sync on, but only with "charger connected", had confirmed that if charger is not connected, new photo won't appear in google photo site.

I also disabled all sync before, still, it suck battery.
--------------------------------------------
Had unstalled all 3rdp arty apps except whatsapp, reboot and full charge later, same thing.
don't know what to do anymore, can only hope it goes back to normal in the next few week, like it did many time when I was using M7.
I had similar issue, phone was always awake because of play services. Apparently a bug with Google backup. For me only factory reset solved the problem, disabling backup service didn't solved awake issue.

that suck! factory reset will wipe all the config I had in the last few weeks. didn't do any system backup cause never thought a few weeks old phone can have this issue. darn!
thanks for the advise.
I might have found a temporary fix, I revoke all apps permission and allow only those I think needed the access. disable most location permission, including google's, except some that would not work without location, eg. Google Maps.
This got me at work once, 100% to 7,% in 3 hours, rebooted and charged and now google play services is fine
This happened to me just a few days ago. Didn't go away even after a clean install. I noticed that NlpWakeLock was causing over 100,000 wakelocks. I had smartlock enabled to automatically unlock my phone at my home address. I turned that option under smartlock off and the battery drain hasn't happened again.
The first time I've encountered this bug (after installing Allo), wiping the cache partition seem to have solved the issue.
The second time I've encountered this bug (after updating my phone for the Sept Security updates), nothing seem to work. I've try uninstalling the Play Service updates, disabling, clearing cache, changing power saving options, using that GService Fix app, etc.
What did work was this morning, I tried disabling all Google Service related permission. Restart my phone, reenable all permission, and restart.

That was what I did few days ago, for a few days, it works, or maybe we thought.
2 days ago, back to square one, Google Play Service still top the chart.
I gave up already, instead of wasting time finding why it happen, I decided to buy QC 3.0 chargers, 3x wall charger and 2x car chargers. So my family don't have to worry about phone run out of juice.(I'm a HTC fanboy, bought One E8, Desire Eye and Butterfly 2, for my family.)

This happened to me just a few days ago. Didn't go away even after a clean install. I noticed that NlpWakeLock was causing over 100,000 wakelocks. I had smartlock enabled to automatically unlock my phone at my home address. I turned that option under smartlock off and the battery drain hasn't happened again.

Anyone experience battery drain cause by Google Play Service?

I tried all of the "fixes" I could find and nothing helped... Yesterday I had no drain, today the phone is awake all the time by Google Play Services... One hour ago I managed to fix the problem by going into Settings->Apps->Google Play Services. Then press "Storage" and click "Manage Space" . At the bottom I clicked CLEAR ALL DATA. This did not delete any important data, do not be afraid (or google it) I did not loose anything. I did not notice anything missing. After "CLEAR ALL DATA" I went back and uninstalled updates, and reboot, then again go the same steps described above - when I pressed Uninstall updates the second time, it looked like it uninstalled Google Play Services completely... I could not go into play store, I could not add google account, but I rebooted and it automatically installed the app back. I logged in my google account, so my contacts, etc came back and now there is no wakelock anymore..
One time Google Play Services started eating battery on my phone, the culprit turned out to be Videostream remaining running, looking for my Chromecast.
Solution:
Or you agree with gms core trash statements.
Or you root and >Delete< GmsCore.apk or GogleBleyServecis.apk
One of 2 choices.
I consider thia "app" a giant serious malware.
Malware of red-alert class.
I never use this.
Why i should use malwares?
Really!

My exact same thought, Google should at least list which app is asking for attention and being rouge. instead it hide everything from us and not letting us catching the culprit.
The culprit?
No culprits.
This app is the culprit.
Need to be forbidded.
Somday i decompiled this malware.
I found something interesting:
In the 365 Listed activities,
One was named : rootActivity.
But root activity?
Without superuser or su?
Delete this if you are the device propietary...

We need learn that, apps that are vinculated to this malware are culprits.
I done this:
Created HelloWorld.apk named com.foogle.android.gms
Installed.
Great!
Now, certain apps that calls this malware, recognizes gogleplayservices in my device, that is a simple helloWorld.apk.
No gmsCore.apk we are obligated to havr.
Did you know a simple example of what this malware do?
When you wakeup your device,
The gmsCore sends a tick to gogle servers with this log:
"Device x from location y, from that eediot named z, woke up at x:<<:y<<:z<< hs, from day ..." when you open apps, the gmsCore is sending logs to their servers decide, what they will or not destroy or patch against you on your device.
We need learn.
Apps does not depends from another apps,
If they disagree, is not app, is malware!

I don't know why, i cannot edit here.
But fixing so:
com.google.android.gmd.apk
Mu helloWorld.apk app is a fake gmsCore.apk
I learned this in somewhere special!
I have the gsf.apk too,
We can fake these malwares for third erroneous "dependancy"
This is more attractive than the xposed module "ThisAppWillRunWithoutGoglepleyServices.apk"
That is all.

There are several countries in the world that support Google Wallet for contactless payments, here the list of countries supported to use Google Wallet on smartwatch. Google has supported more than 30 countries in the last year, however, users in many countries cannot use Google Wallet because they do not yet have official support for Google Wallet. Although there is a workaround for this, basically it is to bypass Google's verification of the country you are in based on the IP address, which causes Google Wallet app to be hidden in seconds if used in an unsupported country. Therefore, to avoid this you need an IP address of a supported country, for this you use a proxy or a VPN, so you can pay in any country where the merchant has Contactless payment. For a much more extensive info and considerations about the trick enter here, basically the steps to follow are as follows:
Download Permanent Proxy app from this link and install it on the watch. The app is designed for Wear OS devices and allows anyone to use Google Wallet in regions where it is normally blocked.
Go to Settings > system > About and tap "Build number" multiple times until you see a message that says "you are now a developer". Next go to Settings > developer options and enable "ADB debugging" and "Debug over Bluetooth".
Run Permanent Proxy app, it will ask for permissions, accept "always allow".
Now create a personal proxy service that is reliable and avoid changing the IP address frequently, for example in Google Cloud.
Enter the IP address and port of the proxy you created, and enable it. After enabling the VPN/proxy, exit the app, give your watch some time and then check back in the permanent proxy app to see if your external IP has changed to the one you entered as a proxy. If it has, good job, you're connected!
Disable Wi-Fi on the watch. Don't download Google Wallet on your watch. It should enable itself. If it doesn't do it automatically, download Play Sore from Play Store.
Alternative:
An alternative to "Permanent Proxy" is to use a VPN on the phone that routes Internet traffic from the Wear OS app on the phone through it. To make it work you have to disable Wi-Fi on the watch, only use Bluetooth connection and keep the VPN on the phone always on.
On your phone, install a VPN app such as NordVPN, Adguard VPN, Tunnel Bear VPN or any other VPN app you prefer
.
In the VPN app you have installed, select and connect to a server in a country that supports Google Wallet, such as the USA.
Disable Wi-Fi on the watch, in a few seconds the app will appear in the list of apps on your watch. Don't download Google Wallet on your watch. It should enable itself. If it doesn't do it automatically, download Play Sore from Play Store.
Open Google Wallet/Google Pay on your watch, complete the setup and add a new card as normal.
Considerations:
Google Wallet app is installed by default on the watch, but it is hidden for the countries without official support. Don't download Google Wallet on your watch. It should enable itself. If you disable Wi-Fi on the watch and start a VPN on your phone, the app should appear in a while.
Proxy services can be found online and can be from any country. However, make sure you completely trust the proxy you chose before you enter it. It is possible that all your watch data will be sent through that proxy, including sensitive data, so act at your own risk. It is recommended that you create your own proxy. This can be easily done using Google Cloud (trial version).
"Permanent proxy" may not work if the watch is connected directly to the Internet (watches with eSIM).
Only bank cards that you can use to pay with your phone in stores can be added to Google Wallet on your watch. This means you will need a card from a country supported by Google Wallet.
You can make your watch refresh its Google Wallet availability check in two ways.: Either by setting the IP/port again in the Permanent Proxy app, or by tapping "Home App" in Settings > System > About > Versions.
Even if you are using "Permanent proxy", sometimes Google Wallet is disabled after update of some related Google apps, Services framework, Play services, Google main app. In this case, manual install of this Google Wallet (Wear OS) app version and after watch restart it appeared again.
Free VPNs may work, but they usually stop working within a couple of days, if they work at all.
If Google Wallet does not work, delete Google Wallet data in the watch settings. Also try to delete updates.
Google Wallet will work if you see the icon in the quick settings of the watch.
"Permanent proxy" only works for IPv4 networks. If you are on a network that uses IPv6, in theory, Google can still verify which country you are in. Turn off Wi-Fi if necessary.
Uninstalling the proxy permanently will not stop the proxy. Stop the proxy using the application before uninstalling it, or stop the proxy using the ADB command below.
Code:
adb shell settings delete global http_proxy
adb shell settings delete global global_http_proxy_host
adb shell settings delete global global_http_proxy_port
adb shell settings delete global global_http_proxy_exclusion_list
adb shell settings delete global global_proxy_pac_url
adb shell reboot
