I've been using SPB Data Monitor to keep track of my data allowance, each day when I look at the breakdown (even after use activesync killer and the fake server trick) its show an average Activesync is using 12MB of data !!!
Anyone shed light on what on earth this is for ?

Im getting some very expensive data bills coming in from when I am roaming. I get a popup whenever my email trys to connect asking if i want to connect and incur roaming charges. I deny this and use webmail from my laptop. I do not use the internet or anything else. Yet Ive still used 4MB in 24 hours while in Germany a couple of weeks ago!
Is there an app that can tell me what is connecting, when and how much data it has transferred?
Ie..
Weatherpanel - 29/06/08 @ 14:10 - 130kb
Outlook - 02/07/08 @ 07:00 - 30kb
Does Phonealarm or SPB monitor go this indepth?
could you not disable all connections and therefore have no charges?
Try spb gprs monitor and see....it has a free trial

And like Humz said, you could always just kill your gprs connection altogether under settings and/or using Modaco's NoData

phoneAlarm (http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.html) will allow you to turn on/off the data connection based on the profile - and the new v2.0 can automatically switch the profile when you are roaming, so that you have no possibility to connect when roaming.
The data tracking in phoneAlarm will show the exact amount of data transferred - but not which application was responsible.
LCMinutes
Another good app is LCMinutes. I have free 500MB of data transfers to be used every month and I use LCMinutes to make sure I don't use any more than that.
You can get it here: http://lctools.blogspot.com/2008/01/some-links-to-lcminutes.html
Hi,
I'm looking for a soft that would detect and identify which programs (softwares or other) initiate data connections on my kaiser.
I disabled all data-retrieving options on the different softs I have (weather,time,...), but it still connects without my wanting !
Anyone knows something that would do that ?
Thanks.
Good question and I too would be interested in the answer. Mine started doing this a few days ago and has since stopped again!
Activesync and MMS messaging
Both of these programs will switch on your data connection. I changed my mms settings to reject and changed my data connection to my work network to keep it from using data. That worked for me until I added unlimited data to my plan.
Spb Wireless Monitor does a great job at this. It isn't free, but I like it. I have it set as a Today Screen plugin to only show my MediaNet connection, but it can also show USB and wifi data usage. It will give you reports on what's using data, how much it's used, and when it was used. You can also set it to alert you before you go over your limit. It's at http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/wirelessmonitor/?en
Indeed, SPB wireless monitor is great.
I was looking exactly for the same sort of solution, since after reinstalling some apps I was having too large GPRS data loads.
hi:
how can i keep track of data transfer when i tether to laptop?
i have unlimited medianet but i dont want to use too much per month.
ideally, i would use some app that could track in real-time.
tahnx
If AT&T is your carrier, you can check this in your online account here

thats nice, im asking for a real time tracker if there is one
SPB Wireless monitor. Tracks live speeds of data usage over all connections, including USB and Wifi. It has a today screen plug which I place on my secondtoday under Weatherpanel and serves me great.
It is what I use and love it. You can either buy it or continously keep flashing new roms and using the full fleged trial.
I agree with Scrtcwlvl. I've been using SPB Wireless Monitor for a couple months and it's ideal for what you want. You can even set it to alert you when you exceed a set usage so you don't go over your plan.
There's a problem with Wireless monitor though, at least on my Kaiser, as it won't count what goes through Internet Sharing in the 3G connection's total, which makes it a pain and useless to actually count total data usage. On the older SPB GPRS monitor it was working perfectly.
And no, looking at the traffic on USB is not an option, as there's a lot of other things like sync that would then be added to it and false the results.
So, I'm using NetMeter on the laptop instead. I tell it to monitor the Windows mobile network device only, and reset the counter on each session.
i appreciate all the replies ..i will look for and try both, thanx again

Currently im using Dutty roms on my touch diamond. My phone bill keep coming in large amount have turn of my 3G to GSM disable all gprs.
What i can think of is this 2 prog.
Garmin GPS )unlikely(
Active Sync ??
Can someone please enlighten me man.
anyone help?
why no one answerrrrrrr.
Active Sync itself will not incur you any charges. You must have some sort of data connection via GPRS active. A weather program perhaps. Check your bill for when and how long the data call is for to give you a better idea.
broadband on mobile data usage 380 every month 200 300.
i dunno whats that and i did not use.
You should install spb wireless monitor, trial is enough (14 dyas of unlimited functionality). It has ability to show what program is using the Internet.
Hi, I've buy an Italian Vodafone Galaxy Tab about 3 weeks ago so I'm a new users of this device (and Samsung's Android device too).
Two days ago I use the 3G data connection for the first time, and I've noticed a huge amount of data traffic monitoring the connection with traffic monitor (you can find it on the market).
I have an HTC HD2 with android before, and I use about 112 Mb of traffic in a mounth.
In one day with galaxy tab I've used 50 Mb of traffic leaving the connection actived but not in use.
So I monitored the situation and realised that :
when I turn on the 3G data connection and I leave it on stand by it doesn't generate traffic.
If I only open the browser or any application that use data, than I close it with task manager, the GT start to use data on stand by like 1 Mb every 5 minute or less.
All the auto-update of the application installed is turned off, and also the auto sync (I'm not a noob of Android) and I kill all the background app.
Anyone of you knows a solution for this problem?
It's a little bit annoying because I've a limited data plan and I can't use so large amount of data, even if I open a single web page without any plugin it use 4 Mb or even more (like 300Kb for the web page and the rest is ghost traffic).
Thank you in advance for any suggest
