High data usage for Xperia systems app



While looking through my latest data usage stats for my week old Xperia X performance I discovered that the apps Xperia Configurator and Xperia Chinese Keyboard uses an absurd amount of data. In the short time I've owned it the Configurator app managed to use 316 MB of background data while the keyboard has used 215 MB of foreground data of all things. Out of curiosity I checked the WiFi usage and saw that keyboard managed to rack up 426 MB of data usage.

Being unable to read and write Chinese, I can guarantee you that I've never activated the keyboard. That said; it's a keyboard, why would it require 641 MB of data transfer over the course of a week? I find it mighty suspicious and was hoping somebody could shed some light on the issue.

Also, I've never used the Configurator app, as it seems to be aimed for business.
