You may have a rogue app.
You may need to check all your apps
To track it down.

Lol. Its a rogue/adware/spyware app. Goto application manager from settings and hunt it down. Roast it and eat it. Also, maybe uninstall it?

Defiantly a rough app.
I would suggest a wipe in such cases, this is to fully ensure elimination of the problem.

Android OS background data use?

My data use in the background by my os is using a lot of data. Is this abnormal for a week of use? Seems excessive to me
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
My HTC one only uses about 2mb of data per day for comparison.

Att has nothing to do with it...it has to be one of your apps...something is constantly syncing/and or jot stopping its data use...I suggest a factory reset through kies or odin if rebooting the phone doesnt resolve the issue

Thanks. I did a factory reset and that fixed it. Now to figure out the culprit.

I faced the same problem, issue was somewhat with auto backup of data, sync of app data & people details in google account,
BUT the main culprit in my case was uTorrent application.
Even though there was no torrent added to it, i didn't even opened it,
it was using 1GB data daily on WiFi and in data usage it was coming under Android OS usage. I uninstalled it, everything went back to normal.
So try to look for such apps which eat up your data in background, it may not be an error of android OS as such.
Hope this helps, Press THANKS if it did help you
Enjoy

Might want to try disabling it or reflashing your firmware. I, nor any of my geek friends, have this problem with our S4s.
What is it? And is disabling it going to have neg effects? Thanks

Search is your friend:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sec.spp.push
It looks to me like it is an App. So you should be able to use titanium backup to freeze it. If it screws other stuff up, just unfreeze it. It would probably be a good idea for you to read the description and reviews on the play store link I posted above to see what info you can get from there before you do anything. Good luck.
Use auto starts and just disable it that's what I did

Just clear data for that app instead.

Does push affect regular text messages or just chat?

Unable to reach Google on g+ or hangouts

Can someone help me troubleshoot this? I try to add a circle or connect to hangouts and it's just like nope, server error.

Delete app data and cache. Uninstall and reinstall from market. See if that helps. Always should be first steps when an app bugs out like that.

Apps unfortunately close

I've been rooted and removed some bloat ware but have not gone overboard. I can't figure out why XDA and Zedge and a few other apps are giving me the dreaded unfortunately xda has stopped message with black screen. Is this happening to anyone else and is there something I need to fix? Thanks
Did you try clearing data on the app?

Anyone have a problem with camera flash not working?

I keep randomly having an issue with the camera flash not working, and I've seen other similar complaints with other phones but they force stop camera and it works, mine doesn't. The only thing that works is a reboot, but I shouldn't have to do that to fix the issue. Flashlight doesn't work either at the same time btw. Anyone else worth this problem? Any fixes?

Not with the Stock Camera but I also have the Paid CameraZoomFX and the Flash doesn't fire with that unless I set it to Torch Mode. I know that they (CameraZoomFX) just issued a bug fix for the S4 Flash, so I wonder if they're going to issue one for the N3.
My brother had this same issue had to take the phone back for replacement. They replaced it with little issue at Verizon.

Maybe I'll do that. When they replace it do you get a refurbished or new?

I believe he got a refurb. That's what they generally do unless they don't have any then they give new.

Soft reset? Like just rebooting? Or full wipe and restart?

OK I looked that up and it says it's to troubleshoot an app that may be causing the issue, did you remove an app after that?

I have similar problems. My phone camera flash currently doesn't work at all. None of the apps which have access to the camera and the flash work. I'm currently using InFocus M320e. Several days ago I recorded a video for 35 minutes and the flash was on because it was dark at that time. Is there any way to fix it? Thanks.
