I bought my nexus 5.
And currently using cellular data on it.
But a process(or something like that) named Android os in my data useage list has consumed about 600mb of my data in 4 days.
My autosync,update apps,google location all these aur turned off.
I have disabled the default google maps,youtube app in the phone...
Thinking that it was these apps that were consuming mobile data..
But still the problem remains.
NEED ASSISTANCE PEOPLE..

Try restricting background services.
And post a screen shot as well.

Restricting background services...
I did that long ago but still nothing.
Yesterday i factory reseted my phone.
And as of now Android os has already consumed 30 mb in less than 1 day
I am using a 2g network..
Dont know why is this happening??

Backup my data is already unticked..
I disabled that long ago
But the problem still persists.
And he problem is because of the OS i am sure as i have no other apps installed.
Coz i factory reseted my phone yesterday.Dont know any cause for this problem!!!

I saw that even after restricting background Data the android os process is still consuming my mobile data.
