<![CDATA[Apps under "Others" consume over half of mobile data]]>Hello, I've been recently having data consumption issues with my data allocation. I have a 1 GB data plan and I've used Opera Max to reduce consumption. In the last couple of months, I have gone over my allocation and I tried to diagnose the issue by looking at the mobile data usage report from Opera Max.

However, I have noticed that over half of the data consumed falls under "Others" and I can point out which app or apps are to blame.

Is it possible to get a more detailed report on what these "Others" apps are?

I can't use Opera Max anymore unless an update fixes this so I can see what's causing the issue. 😞

My "other" apps used over 61 MB today, over a 1 hour timespan!

Opera, this is a major point of frustration. Get a senior executive working on it quick. The scripting and customer service kids will just brush it off as usual.

Some days 'Others' account for more than 5 MB. WTF are those processes?! I love Opera's products dearly, but this is the single one thing that spoils it. PLEASE add some detailed reporting about this 'Others' processes in your next update of Max.

I'm really mad seeing unknown app consume more than 30% total data without knowing how to stop it. If it is caused by opera max itself I wont hesitate at all to uninstall permanently. Please listen to our problem. Thanks.

For example GP will notify about non upgraded apps and sht and this sht doesn't appeared anywhere, comprende? It's like my device is dead being idle.

Despite blocking most apps both in mobile and background access, I saw that 'Others' used around 5 MB today. How do I determine what apps they are?
