Android Issues

[Richard Burton]

I've had my nexus 5 for 2 years now, however whilst looking on the traffic monitor on my router i noticed something, my phone was constantly, indefinitely, uploading data at around 317KB/s (Bytes, not bits) to put that into perspective thats around the amount of bandwidth that a 480p youtube video uses. 

 

This amount of data not normal, google services doesn't use anything like this amount of data, i'm wondering if anyone knows of such an issue, has had this issue in the past, knows how to fix it etc.

 

I have other android devices only upload data periodically and in small bunchs, far far less than the nexus 5.

 

The blue line represents that upload from my phone, where the upload is 0 coincides with me turning wifi off to be sure it is my phone, i have disconnected all other 5GHz devices from the network.

 

Something is wrong, living in Australia bandwidth is harder to come by than gold and my phone should not be hogging that upload.

DO you have Google Photoes backing you pictures up, any google auto backup enabled?

First thing I thought could be the new Google Photos auto backup.

That would make a lot of sense.
