May be shooting in the dark here, but does anyone know if there is an app available that monitors your 3gp mobile internet usage. i.e Shows your internet usage(MB) that has been used over 3gp, not what you have used over wireless.
Thanks
I use Data Counter Widget, allows me to set it to show monthly statistics too from a set start point each month, so when your bill is paid & allowances are reset
Counts Wifi and 3g/GPRS/Cell data

I used to use this too, until I discovered it stopped my phone from sleeping.
Moved onto 3G Watchdog which is pretty decent.
I can vouch for 3G Watchdog as well.
+1 for watchdog
can it distinguish between two sims?
i am having a dualsim adapter. and i only care for one of them.

Can't say I've had the issue with the phone stopping sleeping, everything works perfectly!
try 'call meter ng'. monitors data as well as calls and messages. advantage with 3gwatchdog is the home screen widget, but both are equally accurate.

Easy to check, dial *#*#4636#*#* and go into Battery history.
My running figure was at 100%, and looking in the Partial wake usage menu showed DCW to the be culprit

I did what you said and see no Data counter widget. They just update a new version 4 days ago, maybe it's fixed?
Perhaps... hope so, as I kinda liked it, other than the battery drain
same, i like how it auto reset itself every month.
3G Watchdog does that too, and even predicts how much you will use upto a given point (in my case, the billing date)
3G Watchdog for me
Can you de-activate "3G Watchdog" ?
I plan to use it only when roaming.
Thanks for the advice chaps, ill give the 3g watchdog a go.

You can hide the notification icon, and not use the widget but that's about it.

Total time for Data Counter Widget - 2m 40s (since all time) and the app was installed after the phone was rooted the day Paul(modaco) posted up the r1 method.

The only one I found is "GPRS Monitor", which looks excellent, but doesn't work on Galaxy S...
Anyone knows a similar program that works on Galaxy S ?
I'm using 3g Watchdog works well.
I'm fine with DroidStats for the moment. You could also try Call Meter NG or Plan Monitor Widget. If you're just lookin' for traffic stats, i think 3G Watchdog is the way to go. There are several more, I think.
I use 3G watchdog as well, its all you need!
NetCounter also does the job
Using 3g Watchdog as well but is there an app which measures how many minutes one has been on 3G?
I am testing now Smart Monitor Lite. It is monitoring Mobile and Wi-fi Traffic( daily and monthly)Banwdwidth not suported. Available at Market

To my knowledge minutes aren't the issue with regards to 3G, only the bandwidth that you eat dictates how much money your network provider takes out of your bank account.
Installed 3g watchdog....works fine, thx

Try googling the netcounter-0.14.1.apk. It is free.
Thanks for all the suggestions guys, will try the other apps you guys posted. I know its the amount of data that you use while surfing with 3G is what your going to get billed for but where I come from, they have promos wherein there is a flat rate/cost for 15 mins of 3G usage.
Currently I use 3G watchdog. But it doesnt exactly serve my purpose.
My plan gives me 1GB day time free usage and 5GB night time free usage in a month.
Day time = 7am-11pm
Night time = 11pm-6.59am.
So basically I get billed if I cross 1GB during day time (over a month) or 5GB during night time.
Does anyone here know of any app that can keep time-of-the-day based data counters. Basically, I need 2 counters which keep logging activity based on different timings.
Please let me know if you know such an app.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: The issue was the carrier's fault and not the OS
I found out yesterday that I breached the 5 GB limit of data usage for the month when the carrier completely cut my data connections.
I went to check the reported usage in the system settings and it just shows 687 MB used for the month, the highest usage app is facebook with just a little over 100 MB used.
Now here's some facts:
Running Ditto Note 3 v 3.2 (android 4.3) (based on XXUEMK9) (Baseband: N7100XXUEMJ9)
Never used tethering this month
I always keep 3G off at night and when I'm on WIFI
How do I find out what could have caused all this data usage?
The detailed connections report from the carrier will come in 2 months so I can't know anything yet from that, I'd like to try and figure out something now.
I will be getting a data plan upgrade that will allow me 500 more MB for the month but I'm afraid that if I don't do something fast I might end up wasting all the data again, for now I'm planning of clean flashing the newest release of the rom but I'd like to know if there is some app that will let me monitor data usage in a more detailed way as it seems the built-in android graph doesn't record this hidden data that was used.

Auto sync is already off actually, I always do it manually (actually forget to do it manually), it should show up in the graph if it the culprit were auto sync
Check to see if photo syncing is enabled, google photo's, picassa etc.
I would also do a malware scan with a decent scanner like ESET.

The operator confirmed that the 5 GB have been used, I must wait 2 months to obtain detailed reports though.
Still, something has to have happened on the phone, if it's the operator I have no way of proving it.

Maybe they have to prove the data is consumed by you.
Try to shut off the phone and remove the battery all night for a few days.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobidia.android.mdm this app will tell you how much data you've used each day and whether it was wifi or mobile plan also give a detailed usage of each app data consumption and this doesn't register the same as what our phone does,it works independently,i've used this app when i was on ICS when detailed data consumption wasn't availble in ICS and then checking my carrier's consumption bill there were only 4-5 mb differences between what the app had registered and what the carrier had. install this for the time being till your month renews and starting the next billing cycle you'll have a better idea about your monthly usage

Thanks for the suggestion!
Turns out that it was all the carrier's fault because it happened to several people at the same time, I was just the first to report it so they didn't know about it.
In the end there was nothing with the ROM, the data the system reported was exactly what I used, no more no less.
Not sure if anyone else is experiencing this or not.... But I am experiencing two major problems with my phone:
1) It periodically just drops wifi. I have great signal strength and none of my other devices (and I have a lot) ever behave this way. And I have seen it happen on other wifi spots as well.
2) This one is even worse. I am not able to get more than about 9-10 hours on a charge. Not using the phone *at all*. When I checked what was using the battery power all I saw was normal google stuff, no app itself directly consuming
Mine is a brand new verizon phone.
anyone else experience these? Worth seeing if I can get verizon (or LG) to replace the phone?

I disabled all the Verizon apps, including DT Ignite. I have not activated the phone yet (waiting for root or Helium to work), and now the battery usage graph has almost flatlined when not in use.

Just an update after disabling VZW apps, 22 hours, 17% battery drain. This is on a non activated phone, WIFI on, minimal use). Not a great metric, but much better than with them enabled.

Out of curiosity how did you "disable" verizon apps?
I'm on AT&T, and I'm also having similar WiFi issues.

Application Manager. Scroll over to "ALL" tab. Click on the individual apps. It should have the option to Disable near the top. Those apps will be moved to the Disabled tab if you should ever want to enable them in the future.
I always factory reset after leaving a store because their first priority is to get the phone into a usable state and they bypass the Google login to start syncing my information.
The first thing I install is Nova Launcher. To disable Apps, I just click and drag to the desktop for "system info" then uncheck "Show Notification", click "Force Stop", then "Disable".
I just clear out the crap out the App launcher. I haven't gone in through Settings > App Manager and disabled any services or background apps.
I've also had (and still have WiFi issues). Just got my phone replaced today from T-Mobile and my WiFi has intermittently cut out a couple times today already. Perhaps its something that will require a software update to fix.

If I'm understanding the articles, it is an app so carriers can install Bloatware after your purchase. Even after a factory reset. The good, the bloatware doesn't have to be installed and part of the factory ROM. The bad, everything else...
According to a post on Reddit, the small update on ATT was to fix 5ghz Wi-Fi issues. Hopefully all carriers push it.

On VZW I do not have any issue with WiFi, I do however have not so great battery life. I did disable all the useless items I can. I get about 9-10 hours with 1-1.5 hours SOT. Guess it's OK, but would have liked to get more of what others are reporting (3+ hours SOT).
Coming from the G3 on 23C, I did notice that my battery time did drop a bit, so it's not far off of what I had, not going to return the device, just going to deal with it for now.

Yea, I'm in the same boat. Not sure exactly what to do. I can return it and get an S6 which I hear is faster and has much better battery life. Or I can stick with it and hope a patch fixes or that it gets unlocked and we can run something else...
Oh and another thing, has anyone tried to recondition the battery?
Hey guys, many of you are using jio sim in India. It comes with a daily data cap of 1gb. Just want to ask is there any way we can set daily data limit or notification showing daily data usage. Btw I'm rooted nd twrp installed.
Under data usage there's a sub-menu labeled billing cycle. It has an option for a data limit. Mine only does it by month, but you can manually set the amount of data used so you can reset it every night to 0.

Um, I already know that but I don't want to reset it every night. I found a module Advanced data plan but it's not working.

Same here. This is one of the things I'm missing from my Xiaomi. People slag MIUI off, but it had some useful little features baked in. It was nice to be able to view WiFi usage by day or by month quickly too. It would be great if Oneplus would introduce something like this.
You can download an app called Data Usage Alert, Speed Indicator, Usage Monitor from play store. The app allows you to set daily, weekly and monthly data limits. It also sends notification when you reach the data limit. It is the best way to save money.
See the attached screenshot - it says I used ~1.5G over the last 3 days (note: this is roughly consistent with Verizon's online data tracker, which shows ~1.43G used, so I DO think the data was actually used).
But when you add up all the apps it shows data used for, it only comes to a few hundred megabytes.
I tried moving the start date back a day and that didn't help.
That's a lot of data to use in 3 days (I'm usually on wifi most of the day), so I'm trying to figure out what used it. Perhaps a system app, but it looks like the data usage calculator includes them.
Any ideas? Thanks.
I accidentally posted this to the regular Note 10 forum before I noticed a separate Note 10+ forum - sorry!
Interested in this aswell

Have you got "Download Booster" on in settings?
This uses a combination of data and wifi to download data faster than just plain wifi.
