App to monitor mobile internet usage

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 use this, and have had no issues with it sleeping properly.

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.

internet draining alot of cpu and memory.

Only have one window open and my internet seems to be draining alot of memory and cpu usage and setting of my watchdog. How do i stop it? Recently cleared all the cache and cookies.

I would also like to know if I find anything out I'll let you know but in the mean time I think it depends on what you are viewing like facebook is an extremely large site with a lot of traffic.

Swyped from Eva running Myn's RLS4!

are you positive it is your internet. many process and apss run in the background so just because you only have internet open at the moment does not mean it is the internet for sure causing the problem.
what watchdog message is comign up when it goes off?
What browser are you using
are you using 3g or 4g
do you always have mobile data (3g or 4g depending on what you are using when the drain is happening) on?
Do yo have a process monitering app such as system panel?
I am going to assume you ahvent gone to that detail yet. I highly recommend getting the paid verion of system moniter if you are having this kind of issue as it lets you run a history of the top apps using cpu/power. it also lets you see a nice battey graph and shows you all process running wether they are active or inactive and how much cpu time they are using.
It makes diagnosing these kinds of problems much easier.

Stop using the internet. This should solve the problem.
Seriously though. Browsing the web with your EVO does all the things that suck the most battery. Graphics, 3G, 4G, Wifi.

It happens in both 3g and 4g. Watch dog pops up and says internet usage is at 71% would u like to close it? I say yes.
I have systsm panel lite...sometimes it works but alot of time it doesnt. Your most common apps just reopen up it seems like. Thank you for your help.

Ahhh this is the answer i was looking for ( fart noise ). Pay$ 40 extra a month for internet usage and to be told not to use it. Thats like buying toilet paper and never wiping your ass.

Theoretical fix for Wifi/3G priority bug

This bug has been going on since 8107 (at least). For those that don't know, the bug is that the phone will continue to use the data/cellular connection even when you're connected by Wi-Fi.
I have noticed something which may explain the behavior.
I'm with Orange in the UK and they have a website that can only be accessed if you're using the data connection - accelerator.orange.co.uk. It's basically a web app for controlling data compression.
Similarly I have a website that can only be accessed on my wireless network - 192.168.0.1 (my router's GUI).
Now, I've just noticed that if I turn on wifi and try to connect to the orange.accelerator.co.uk site I will get a loading bar for about 15 seconds, after which it will display the correct page. Obviously its using the mobile data connection. The reason must be that the phone considers the wifi connection to have timed out, so its uses the data connection.
This works the other way. Immediately after accessing the orange.accelerator.co.uk page I entered by router's IP address. I got the loading bar for 15 seconds again, eventually getting the router's GUI.
This makes me wonder whether tweaking the timeout setting in internet explorer may provide a temporary fix. I know I have seen a timeout setting somewhere in the registry before, but I can't remember where. Can someone help me out?

Found it myself.
HKEY_CU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Settings
TimeoutInMilliSeconds, value= 120000
There's also a TimerInMilliSeconds, also value 120000. Anyone know what this is?

I was having this problem before, but Tango appears to have fixed this issue. I no longer get the timeouts you described on wifi.

You may not be getting any, but it's not far fetched that someone will get a timeout with WiFi - WiFi may just stop working for a minute there, but you still want the phone to use it.

You can close this thread now, this issue has been fixed and the fix is included in Tango

Google Play Services is destroying my stand by time. How to fix?

Running in LeeDroid 7.4.2. Down 20% today and I've barely even used my phone (See attached). GPS is disabled too. Any ideas?

Disable WIFI Scanning to improve your battery life. If you want more, disable Location History, and if that's not enough, go into Google Settings, Security, and disable all the features listed therein. Want more? Go into Services, and disable all the other tracking features, i.e. web & app tracking, search history, etc..., then remove your Google account.

Wifi and bluetooth.
Plus apps running in the background. I had bad battery drain for a bit last week from Google Play Services. Clearing all "recent" apps (some weren't very recent) and rebooting helped.

Could've sworn I had WiFi scanning disabled already. I checked it again and it was enabled...I'll look at the rest of the stuff too. Thanks man.

It does, as long as you are on a network. The drain happens when you aren't signed into one and it's searching for networks to connect to.

Ah yeah, if I'm not gonna be connected to one I definitely shut if off.

If youre rooted, then try disable service. You can find The app in the playstore

1) Root phone
2) Install AppOps
3) Find Play Services and disable wakelocks
4) Profit
I don't know what the heck Google is doing waking your phone up so much with Play services, but it doesn't appear to affect functionality at all, and you will quickly see it drop off of GSam's top offender list.

Cellular data battery drain

Hello everyone!
I don't know why, but since last week the battery drains faster than it has before. There is no apparent reason for it. There is only one anomaly, one process that seems to use a lot of the cellular network, and that is the WhatsApp...
How can I examine this further on an unrooted phone??
Thx in advanced !

If the cellular network at your place is weak, your phone will use more power energy to maintain network connection. In such case, I think you'd better install the app named Greenify to stop Whatsapp from background running.

That's the thing... It's not weak. It just drains the battery more than it had before for some unknown and not apparent reason at all.

i was having a problem like that, i turned up mobile data and using only whatsapp, with a big battery drain, the solution for me was disable fast telephony from the hidden menu in the telephone and now the problem is gone

I guess "fast telephony" = "fast dormancy", right?

Let us know if it works.
Disabling fast dormancy is ok if your carrier does not implement it otherwise if they do you want it on. Given your problem happened suddenly i doubt that is the reason.
When people have problems with whats app. clear cache or failing that, reinstalling the app has fixed it.

Well, it doesn't seem to have any effect on the usage of mobile data of the WhatsApp app...
Also clearing the cache and uninstalling and reinstalling the app didn't have the desired effect.
Any other solutions?

@spartan do you have any ideas ?
