You can try to delete the my data manager.

Do you know that third party data tracker consume a lot of data?

For iPhone we have this mobile data consumption for each app. In the app I found out that is the third party data tracking that consume so much data.

It's not My Data Manager. It consumes very little data (<1MB) even over WIFI. ngsteve did not show it but there is a separate entry for this app.

Use the phone manager app that comes with phone to see if it tells you the same thing?

Phone Manager > Mobile data > Data usage ranking

 

[chenaz]

Yes.

Or maybe is Google bug like the link I posted earlier.

Google also admit that there is a big in Android that consume a lot of data
