How do you reset the data usage? I've got unlimited data with ATT (grandfathered) and at 2 GB the warning icon came on. How can this be deleted or reset? Wow, Background data is pulling a lot!
Just tap the line which says 2,0 gb warning...the a contex pops up where U can set another limit.
EDIT: Or just hold the point at the end of this line and drag it up.
Is there an easier way then spending hours on the thumbwheel? Why couldn't htc allow users to just enter there own number?
*Edit* Found the horizontal slider. This does have me wondering about how fast the phone sucks data on LTE!
Maybe there is a better way of managing the data so the background is pulling everything all the time.

For the last couple of week my phones system apps have been using appx 10-15Mb per day in 3G data and I have no idea why.
It's chewing up most my allowance and I'm going to have to disable the APN soon if I can't find out what's causing it.
I know it's a system app as i'm using TrafficStats Lite but it doesn't tell me exactly what the source of the problem is. It lists the below under the section that is causing me the problem:
Contracts Storage
Dialer
People
com.android.providers.applications
Plugin sample
com.android.providers.userdictionary
Hi,
first of all try market://search?q=pname:com.curvefish.apps.trafficinfo
shows trafffic per app
maybe you try to disable background sync?
a other option would be droidwall, so you can enable every app that should get internet access and the others wont get it - needs root.
cya
TrafficInfo doesn't give me any better info than TrafficStats Lite.
Also, disabling background sync doesn't tell me why the system is suddenly using up 10-15mb a day when it has never used anything like that in the 10months i've had it.
Droidwall will be useful in the short term until I can find out why my system apps are using so much data though.
Thanks.
Hi,
Sorry to bring up this old thread, but since a month or so I have been noticing the exact same thing on my HTC Legend. Got a 500MB monthly limit, never got even close to consuming it all... but in November, data usage got crazy and I hit the limit.
3G Watchdog shows me these apps as the top data consumer: "People", "com.android.providers.userdictionary", "Dialer", "Contacts Storage" and "com.android.providers.applications". These all show up as one combined entry, and for example have consumed 9MB only yesterday.
Anyone know what exactly is going on here?
Thanks for any advice,

Sorry for that, will do.
I apologize if this has been brought up before, but the data reporting in ICS is almost double what the myverizon app is showing.
Just wondering if the usage shown by Verizon is going to catch up. If not I got a lot more streaming I can do

do you have a task killer installed, if so then you may be killing the myverizon tracker their for its not collecting all data
You need to set the data usage to match your billing cycle dates than it should match. I have found that it needs set manually.
Please hit the thanks button if I helped.
Don't know about VZ, but comparing Tmo's website and ICS's data meter, they're almost identical (ICS was a few MB ahead)
The 'Total Data Usage' meter appears to be relatively consistent with my operators readings (Sunrise/Switzerland).
On the other hand, the 'per app' reading appears to be completely off the wall. (See this thread.)

Measured by your phone. Your carrier's data usage accounting may differ.
My carrier (Unitel, Laos) is reporting me using just over double the data ICS is reporting.
I'm on O2 in the UK and the ICS data is about 85 mb behind the networks calculation ?
Two days ago I was pushing 2GB and now suddenly I have only used 608 MB? How can that be explained?
Has anyone seen their usage suddenly go down for no reason?
I'm in the middle of the billing cycle. I've done nothing to the phone.
Now I've lost all faith in the data usage meter.

You remember to move the slider to correct date? It doesnt do this by default so it looks like your data usage dropped everytime you go to the data usage section.
Yes, it doesn't matter where the sliders are set, I get the same result.
It appears to have forgotten about one week's worth of data, my first week. I got the phone on the sixth and now it is showing zero data used until the 12th.
My usage cycle is set for 27th-26th, so it doesn't make any sense to me that it would suddenly forget about six days of data.
It's forgotten about the data used on the wifi side before the 12th as well.
Any ideas?

For me the "data usage" on the phone was reporting slightly higher than VZW, but imo that's better than slightly lower!

There is no way to set it manually! If I am wrong please correct me.

Yes I have experienced the same! I was around 3GB, my phone went completely dead on a Sat night, when I plugged it up in the car and tried to boot it back up it apparently didn't have the juice to boot all the way. I let it charge for a while, booted it, all my SMS tones had been reset and so was my "data usage"!! Sucks!
Well, I have let the battery run down until the phone turned itself off several times, but I hope this is not causing this problem. That would be a pretty significant bug!
Hi,
So, my tariff just started and I'm checking out my data usage app and I see 54MB used.
Scroll down to see what used it and see this breakdown:
Browser (top) :2.68
AndroidOS: 0.98
Google Services 0.7
Where is the rest of it?
For me as well. The estimate says i have used 1,72GB on WiFi, but when i add up all it is only 488,0676 MB on WiFi. This must be a bug? Or is there some traffic not showing, but counted as used?
Now that you mention it, my WiFi counter is off by about 10mb too...

Some traffic isn't showing. For example, the other night I used about an hour of HQ YouTube, and the aggregate count went up as one would expect, but YouTube itself didn't show up in the breakdown until I rebooted the phone. After reboot, YT claimed the full 700MB it had used before and after reset.
have you guys noticed the warning when setting max limit? "data usage tracked might differ from the one tracked by your mobile operator?
I'm sorry, but what does this have to do with the data usage warning?
The device is reporting 2 completely different data usage statistics that dont add up, it has nothing to do with what the operator thinks i've used.
Just rebooted, no difference, still missing the 50mb in the breakdown section.
It has everything to do with the data use warning as the warning is telling you the stats are not accurate. Its just not the answer as to why.

Are you implying the data counter on the phone is reporting network usage counter by the operator? If that is the case there should be no need for this warning.
I have to ask again, what does a counter that resides on a physical device, counting data transmitted or received by said device have anything to do with a warning that the said counter result is going to differ from a completely different operator counter residing on a completely different device at the other end of the connection?
There warning merely sates that 2 completely different counters may have different values.
I'm asking why the first (phone) counter is reporting a total of 54mb and breaking down only ~5mb worth of usage in the detailed section of the same report?
I'm saying it is not, which is why there is a warning, not reading anything after that this is a loop.

I have restarted my phone, but still it says i have used 1,76GB now, but added up it's only 512,228MB. What has used the last 1,24GB? It does not show up, so there must be something wrong.

Which is wrong. The "stats" are and should be accurate as measured by your phone. The breakdown of the "stats" is missing a big chunk of detail.
Quick question
OP can you move the slider to be for one day only and add the numbers together ? Then try a week and so on... do the numbers add up?
Firstly I'm not certain if this is the correct place for this, but I was playing with the mobile data warning line, primarily out of boredom and secondarily to see if there was an upper limit as to what I could set it to. Well, it abruptly wrapped around to some minimal value to where the adjustment bar isn't currently visible. Is there some way I can reset it to the 2 GB default or manually enter a number? I've tried searching and I barely got any results (4). Rooted stock running 4.1.1 takju maguro.
Long pressing on the line opens a dialog to input a limit manually.
Thanks, that answers one question, but doesn't resolve my problem as I can't actually see the line to specify the data amount.
Did you try to set a mobile data limit?
Maybe it will adjust it then, so you can see the warning line again.
Reset Settings data in the app manager. If it doesn't work, try resetting Settings Storage's data too.

I've reset settings data as suggested, I believe. Settings storage data wouldn't let me do anything though. Result: no change.
sorry to dig out this old thread but I have the same problem. Have you found a solution by any chance?
Sadly, I have not.
How about deleting the netstats folder in /data/system?
Just tried that. It clears the usage history of all apps, but does not reset the lines. Good thought though. I really appreciate all the assistance.
hey guys,
I got some issues with data usage, cycle, and graphs. i was wondering if anyone knows the answers to these questions of course without using another app or rom's data usage.
1) I was wondering if we can set the white lines to show the billing cycle (1 month) by default instead of the last 7 days only? I have to scroll back everytime to check.
2) my data usage reset on me a couple of times without me doing anything. Im not sure whats causing that, but i do have a theory that there is a "lag" of when you set your cycle and when the resets happen.
So if you initially have set on the 15th, then you change to the 1st.
And if its the 13th today. I think there is a reset on the 15th, then it goes to your new billing cycle.
This is just a theory, im not 100% sure. Can someone verify this?
If this is true, how can i make it instant instead of the delay?
Ive always found the stock data counter unreliable. Plus flashing and messing around info gets lost. I found 3g watchdog worked the best, it saves all your info when you backup(titanium or whatever). If data counting is something you need, definitely get that. It can be complicated looking at first but once you figure it out, flawless. Plus out of all the apps I've tested, it was the most accurate.
