Hey, system message app seems to be pointing to the stock text messaging and given the amount of data it's using I would be very fearful that it is sending your personal data to some unknown. It could be hijacked by a trojan and I would agree with Jonny, and recommend you need to do a full FDR immediately.

S7 using all my data

That's a good stopgap measure but without data turned on you'll be unable to do any surfing, navigation, anything that requires a data connection. As far as removing the system app, you may not only prevent the phone from receiving texts, but who knows what else it disrupts.Ok I have plugged the data leak for now by restricting background data for the entire ph
I'd just factory restore it. One thing you can do is reboot into Safe mode and see if it still sucks down data. It so, then it's a flaw in the phone or in the OS. If not, then it's either a user installed app or is a virus.

It's "background data" Foxy. You can still use the phone perfectly well. You just have to go into your email to see if you got any new ones. Or into Facebook to see if you have any notifications.
Over 8GB doesn't sound to me like anything that could be considered normal.
Background data? Data is data whether background or not. I'm not sure I get the significance of it being background data. There's no app I've ever heard of that will pull down that kind of data in the background except a virus making unauthorized transmissions. Well, a torrent client application could be the one exception.
Maybe I'm missing your point, @PereDroid .

Right. My mistake, I was thinking mobile data off, not background data off. Good catch. Call it a brain fart! B-)

I'm pleased to hear of the success. I'm still very curious as to what was causing this. Please keep us updated if anything changes.

As I said earlier, could just as easily have been just an app acting up. Getting hung up on transmitting data that it's supposed to & is ok to send could run data up just as simply as a virus transmitting data you don't want it to.
Either way, so very glad that the fdr fixed the problem! Hope it holds!
