My HTC One is giving me the incorrect data usage total. It is double of what it should be and I even added up all of the data per app and it was half of what it has as the total which ties out to my actual data usage for T-Mobile. Anyone know what could be causing this?

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 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.

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!
I'm trying to check to see if the APN workaround to bypass throttling with my 2GB unlimited data plan, but when I call #932# to check my data usage, I get a different amount of usage than the usage shown on my my-tmobile page.
On my my-tmobile, I have ~30mb used, whereas when I use #932#, it shows around ~130mb. The 130mb is closer to my "true" usage (the actual amount while using the modified APN). I don't know if the trick is working for me or not. Can someone explain to me why the two measurements don't match up?
Thank you for your time.
Possibly lag between the network and the my-Tmobile Web page.
You can download Traffic Monitor from the market and it will give you fairly accurate data usage numbers. You can even monitor what uses data and how much. Set it up so it resets on the same day as your Billing cycle.

I'm using a data manager that I downloaded from the market. It matches up with the #932# data. The problem is, it's been like this for a couple days, so the possibility that it is simply lagging is becoming less and less plausible..
I think the apn trick doesn't show up the website.
Not too sure though.
That could be true, but why would it be monitored via #932#? I really don't know if the APN trick is working for me or not
Somehow the data usage on my SIII (ATT 4.1.2 stock rom, rooted) is not working properly. The total usage seems right but the itemized usage is not showing up correctly.
For example: it shows on the chart that the total usage for today is 5mb, but below the chart it says "No apps used data during this time."
What could cause this problem? Can anyone help? Thank you!
I noticed today that a few days back the "OS Services" consumed 491 Megabytes of 3G data and 1.81 Gigabytes of WiFi data (as reported by 'my data manager'). That's half my monthly data in one day. In the following days I have seen usage of around 60MB per day, and right now it is virtually down to zero again.
Does anybody know what could be causing this, and how I can prevent it from happening again?

OTA update being downloaded?
Doesnt the data management in settings tell you what app has been using data?
If its in the background, there should be an option to cancel background downloads

No, it says "OS Services", which isn't helpful at all. There was nothing to see in the notification area about something being downloaded, so nothing I could cancel. In fact, I didn't even know something was downloading until I checked my data usage for the month and saw that I had consumed over 50% of my monthly allocation in just 4 days.
