Hi,
hope this is ok for this forum, but is there any app which monitors all apps and their indvidual data usage? Over the last couple of days I seem to have used a lot of data (way more than I usually do) and was wondering whether a particular app is responsible.
I have turned off all sync (background as well) but still data usage is mounting.
Anyone any ideas?
Thanks for anything you can suggest,
Rich

Is there somehting included on the DHD or any known app, that can tell me how much data I have transfered over my mobile internet connection?
YES - it does sound like a topic that should be interesting to a lot of people and discussed multiple times already. Unfortunately, I haven't found the answer through searching. So maybe, you can just point me to the right keywords?
thanks

Just search the market for usage monitors.
Like PhoneUsage or 3G watchdog.
Give NetCounter a shot, I've used it since owning a Hero. It has all the features you'd expect, and its free.
Agreed. I used NetCounter on my Hero, and use it on my DHD.
Gives you usage, billing months, alarms.
Ace.
thanks guys. NetCounter is really cool
Hopefully, those non informative posts are not against forum policy.
EDITED: My Bad
If you also need a system diagnostics widget with info about CPU, memory, battery usage and so on I recommend Elixir.
It shows mobile/wifi traffic amongst a lot of other stuff like switches for airplane mode etc. and the widgets are highly configurable.
I use Data counter widget and I'm very happy with it. It allows me to track mobile and WiFi data separately and has a lot of useful statistics.

Phone Usage!!!
everyhting from calls, SMS and Data.
Pro version lets you make an ALERT depending upon the max limit set by you.

3g watchdog does the job for me... i can also set it to give me an alarm after a specific amount of usage and turn off mobile internet connectivity after it reaches specific usage!
I have a big problems with my new ARC. I hope, somebody of you guys can help me.
I have a limited data traffic per month (250 MB). On this reason, I have monitored my traffic with WatchDog 3G. I was really surprise, as I saw, that I have between 3-5 MB data traffic per day without any synchronisation of Facebook, Push Mail etc. So I was wondering which App / Service is responsible for that.
I can see on my WatchDog monitor, that two applications are always "on line" and down- or upload data. Please see at my attached screenshots. The capture was done after the phone was rebooted and used for 10 minutes. The two applications / services are called "Diagnostics Tool ..." and "Tastenfeld" (keypanel, keypad). If I have activated the data connection during the whole day without a wifi, the data traffic of both apps is between 3 - 5MB.
I have tried to avoid this by deactivating Google Backup Option and SE usage infos., but no change.
Can anyone help me with my problem? Thanks.
I faced similar problem. I've 100mb 3G plan and have done normal surfing over it but both my data upload and download has been 50mb each.
I don't understand how data uploaded could be as high as data downloaded. I've not uploaded any picture or video. I use data services for few minutes and then disable data traffic to save on battery.
Will try data monitor tools to understand the cause but it seems a weird issue.
I've got a fairly limited data plan, so I try to keep an eye on data usage.
The built-in 'Data Usage' meter is very useful, but it also show some inconsistencies. For example (see the attached image) yesterday it claimed that I used about 10Mb of data, but also no apps used data during this period.
The total data appears roughly consistent with what my operator says (Sunrise, Switzerland), but I'd like to know what application was responsible, so that I could disable it.
I'd love to run Wireshark, or something similar to see what's going on here, but I guess that's impossible on a non-rooted device.
Is this a known problem? Is there anything I can do to limit this behaviour?
Device details: Stock Galaxy Nexus, running 4.0.1.
I tried switching 'Mobile Data' off altogether, and that appears to stop the data flow.
As soon as I turn it back on, however, I'm up to about 1Mb/hour 'background' seepage, that doesn't show up as any specific app.
What is the normal background data rate for things like Google services?
I tried to 'reverse tether' the device so that I'd be able to sniff the data coming through my Linux computer, but apparently the device needs to be rooted for that to work. (Something to play with over the weekend...)
Bump
Does anyone have any ideas?
Try Network Counter from mapeapps in the Market. It provides a per app breakdown...

Thanks, I'll try that!
i have a 500mb data plan and last month the network said i hit the limit whilst the phone said I'd only used 430mb. using 3g warchdog to monitor this month......
This seems to have been asked in a few previous posts, however, I can find no definitive answer.
My problem revolves around a spike in data usage last night. I had decided with the announcement of Google Reader being retired (grrr) I would replace gReader as my default RSS reader with RssDemon (which actually turns out to be just as good).
Once I had manually added all my feeds into RssDemon, I decided to uninstall gReader. This was whilst at home and connected to wi-fi.
Within a couple of hours I received my preset warning over data usage, which upon checking had spiked up 140mb due to 'Removed Apps'.
Now, having only had the phone a couple of weeks, I have monitored data usage very closely from day one, to ensure there are no background services wasting my data plan.
My gReader usage before uninstalling was around the 35mb mark. Why on earth would it jump up so high just from removal ?
Has it actually used the data or is it possible it is an error in the calculation within the Usage app itself ?
Any help / advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi
I have two Note II's. One I bought and rooted (Korean made) then had a few problems so I bought another (made in China - different sellers).
Anyway the first one is good now with PACMAN AOKP 4.2.2 the other still fully Samsung.
I cant get my work exchange email to work on either. Any recommendations for an app? Will happily pay if it will work.
secondly I would like to install a nice bootanimation on my rooted device, something tasteful like the mega droid walk. Will this work on my 4.2.2/ Have had issues installing any bootanimations so I rerooted and dont want to stuff it up again

humble apologies = my error entirely
no worries mate
Anyone able to offer any possible explanations ?
Did you ever change roms? And restore data via titanium backup?
Because if you o store usage data via titanium backup then there is a chance of getting it corrupted. Sometimes after reset it would show me that system. UI has use 1.97 his which actually real racing 3 has use this is I think it's because android signs apps unique id on the basis of which it stores data usage. When you reset it probably assigns them which overlap which previous ones which caused the data usage to show wrong info.
this is SPARTAAA

Does your carrier not provide you with an option to check actual data usage from their end? You could compare and see the actual one with the built in usage data.

Hi all,
Android OS seems to be using about a gigabyte a day of WiFi traffic. Does anyone what this might be, could it be a false reading, and could you guys please check if you have similar readings. (Under Mobile Data, enable Show Wi-Fi usage in the menu).
I've searched for the solution already and people mentioned Google backup, auto-uploading of photos, various syncing or uploading services etc... And all of that is disabled since I've never used it. I'm not noticing anything else suspicious including battery life so I'm pretty confused right now.
Thanks.
