Firstly m sorry if I post in wrong section.
Can any one suggest me a good app to manage my monthly data and track my call time.
For instance, I use onavo for keeping a track on my data usage. Similarly I need an app to track my call timings

Just off the top of my head, you can try Traffic Monitor Plus, which tracks data, text, voice and what app uses what and how much.

for the iphone there was an app called mobile allowance was wondering whether there is an equivalent for android?
im on orange btw, i think it would be handy rather than having to phone orange all the time.
Really late reply, I know but I use Phonalyzr, can be found in Android Market, works good.
I'm currently using a miui rom and it has the app called, 'Traffic Data' already installed.
i'm using an app called PhoneUsage. i can set how many minutes i have and what times it shouldn't count my calls when its free and also whether its per second billing or by minute. also tracks data and text messages
I like S.T.A.T.S seemed to me to be the best out there.. Or droidstats, with that you can have a little widget showing your usage
My phone is draining quite quickly. Lost 30% in 2 hours without doing anything. Also, it gets pretty warm and the data arrows are constantly active. So there must be an app that's using bandwidth and draining my battery.
Is there an app in the market that shows which apps use the bandwidth?
Reboot doesn't help and I don't have any refreshing webpages open so it's a big mystery for me which app causes this drain...
No need for an app. Just press *#*#4636#*#*
Yes it sounds like you have a dodgy app. Two main culprits are the engadget widget, and having igoogle as your home page.
To find our what's doing it, either install the 'spare parts' app from the market, or (simpler) go to your dialer and key in *#*#info#*#*
This will access the hidden menu that the spare parts app gets you into. In here, select 'battery history' and you can select from a drop-down different parts of your phone that use barry power. Select ' network usage' and 'partial wake usage'. I believe this will highlight the culprit for you.
Hope this helps.

Thanks, I see a lot of network traffic being used by "1013". Does anyone know what that is? Clicking it crash the info-app.
The calendar app is 1011 which is the main culprit on mine. It's not the calendar widget is it? Try force closing the calendar app and widget and reboot.

From doing a bit of digging, it looks like this 1013 is a "mediaserver" process, (Whatever that means) and that no one seems certain exactly what it is. But it does seem that people are seeing it stop when they remove Weatherbug and/or the youtube widget. Do you have either of these installed?
Open up the Android Marketplace and select 'downloads'. This will show you your installed apps in the order you installed them. The most recent at the top. Start removing the most recent apps one by one until you see the 1013 process stop.
If you manage to put your finger on the culprit, you can help lots of people out here. Check out the threads on this forum under "Network usage by 1013".
After all is there any application which could show data traffic in Kb per application?
I too have found a mysterious app/process using the majority of my data called "0" clicking it force closes the app.
Anyone else have this?

Additionally to "0" i also have the processes "1014" and "1010" listed under *#*#4636#*#*. Anybody out there who knows what they exactly do as they consume quite a bit of my data-amount?
Anybody? No Dev around here who knows every process personally and by name ?
Netcounter.
Free and awesome. Find it in the market, more info here: http://www.jaqpot.net/netcounter/
I had the same issue, Solved it by deinstalling the k9-mail app, which was causing the 1013 flooding.

heya,
st0kes: Hmm, yes, but from what I can tell, NetCounter only tells you total data traffic, whereas what we're talking about here is traffic per app
For me, the data traffic arrows starting being lit up near constantly this morning, even though I wasn't doing anything active, as such. I also noticed the data usage counter in my Credit Usage app going up steadily. Bit worrying.
On my, it's showing an app "1010" as using a lot of traffic - anybody have any idea what that is?
Is it actually feasible to make an app that logs network traffic by app? Is something like that possible via the SDK?
Cheers,
Victor
You can see the data usage by app by using 'Network TrafficStats'

Hey all,
Before my great Desire I owned a touch HD, with the same data plan: 3gb/month.
With that device I managed a maximum of about 3-400 MB/month, but averagely it was only 100-150. The things I used on it: Twitter update every 15 mins, fb every hour, e-mail every hour, weather hourly, some - quite a lot - browsing with opera, and some youtube in pub while drinking&sharing =)
With the desire, i realized that it's really much moore It's 19th, and i just passed 1gig, with quite the same use, only the gmail is push now.
So my question is: what background app can use so much data - or is it average with this phone - , or can you recommend me a data counter app that shows consumption app by app so i could check it very easily.
The main purpose of it is I want to change my cell rate to a better one, but it 'only' has 1gig of data.
Thx for your help
Cheers
it will be youtube, a few mins of youtube and you can easily early up nearly 100mb if the video is in HQ
3G Watchdog is very good for monitoring data usage. You can set custom alarms to warn you if you area approach your limit.
To find exactly WHAT is using your network though, in your dialer enter *#*#4636#*#*
This gains you access to a hidden menu. Select 'battery history' then from the top drop-down menu, select 'network usage'. This will show you exactly what has been chewing through your megs!

Thank you very much, this code is awesome =)
I use watchdog, but it doesn't count the usage app by app, this is perfect.
The item named "internet" is the most, so it can be browsing or youtube.
Glad to be of help!
If your 'internet' is using that much though (when you only used a fraction on your Touch HD doing the same things), I'd say there is something up. I've TRIED to pass my monthly limit but can't get close.
One thing that can cause your 'internet' browser to use a lot of data all the time, is having iGoogle as your home page. All the widgets you can put on your i-Google home page constantly update and keep your data connection active.
If you do not have i-Google, is there a page you are leaving it on that could also require constant updating? Sites with lots of cycling flash advertisment banners could do this.
I do not use task killers, as I have found they cause more problems than they solve, but try force-stopping the 'internet' app. Without having a task killer, go to Settings, Applications, Manage Applications, select the 'internet' app and press the 'Force Stop' button.
Try this for a day after each use of the internet (a hassle I know) and if it seems to help, perhaps putting on a basic task killer and only have it 'auto-kill' your internet app could save you some unwanted data bills!

It's not igoogle, but i figured out that i use eredmenyek.com what is the hungarian version of livescores.com (i am betting a lot ) and if i let my browser on that site, it can be able to communicate a lot - updates every minute, all the events
Thx again, i'll try to set google.hu when i finish browsing, it's sure that it won't communicate a bit then
Hello Guys, I just brought an S3 and I was looking at my o2 account and I've used nearly 300mb off data in 5 days and my allowance is only 1gb.
I had looked at my data usage and saw that its the facebook app that is using the most I was wondering how to limit the app to use little data.
Thanks, Gary - The S3 noob
Think this is a QA section question but if you go into the facebook app and settings- refresh interval and change this to your liking.

Go to Facebook Settings, change Refresh Interval to Never, Location Service to Off and Contact Sync to No Sync.
Remember, you still will get Push Notifications and data shall be used only that which you do it foreground.

use "whats local today app" for 50% data use compared to Facebook App.

Hi there!
Try an app called "whats local today" for accessing facebook, google+, linked in, twitter, tumblr on 1 screen itself, just a tap away.
Its a new style browser for mobile devices. I use an iPhone 5s, 'WLT' works best for me. 50% less data use compared to actual fb app.
No push notifications though!
Is there any way to have a simple on/off button for data service in the pull down bar?
Is there a way to limit what apps consume data? I'd like to to just be email and text messages, not, for example whether an app needs an upgrade. (Although I'm not sure how much data that uses)
Guys I'm new to having a not unlimited smart phone, so help me out please :laugh:

You can look on play store or you can easily on/off with custom toggle & custom rom.
Setting / Data usage/ app / restrict background data or you have more set option at View app settings.
