I want to avoid all the scary charges that might concur themselves on my bill, but i do have 200 TXT PIX FLIX messages (verizon w/e) and i dont want to disable those, but i do want to disable all others, Edge/HSDPA/3G/GPRS all except for medai net i suppose?
How does one go about doing this?

you can't, its either you disable everything or leave it like it is, for the mms and IM the phone requires the pay per use internet or some kind of data package. i hope that helps (at least with att it does)

Actually you can Dont listen to him!!! Theres something called Modaco Nodata lurking around these forums. Has option to : Disable GPRS and Disable Media Net. These 2 are independent of each other, thus you can keep media net on.
Will it diable like 3g and edge? (and HSDPA as well?)
Yeah, it disables all data connections (3G, GPRS, etc.). Pretty good tool when you don't have an unlimited data package.
Can anyone provide a cab? I cant seem to find it anywhere...

Hi all,
Is there any apps that can be used as monitoring the data usage of each application? i.e. google map using how many kb, Meebo IM using how many kb, etc etc..
thanks first.

I use 3G Watchdog, but it's only overall summary, but not per application (as I guess you'd like)

Thanks a lot. I also use that but yeah, i'd like it by applications.
but anyway thanks for the input.
May be we can call for Spb to port their applications to Android very soon.

It would be a great idea.
because, there are always some background data transfer but I never know which apps are doing that. It is especially important for users like me who do not have unlimited data plan.
there is also netcounter .
Ultra thanks for the info on NetCounter. From a glance it's nice app. With beautiful UI too.
EDIT: Sorry for the double post :-(
Don't mention it , anyway there is also APNdroid which prevents your mobile from accessing the network .

Thanks for the tips.
Yeah, I also have the APNdroid to shut down the mobile internet.
However, my thought was to monitor the data usage by "applications" so that I know which application is going what and the Netcounter only monitor the data usage by "Wifi" or by "mobile internet 3G".
I don't really need per application usage, thus NetCounter is good enough.
I love to see NetCounter to expand its functionality to optionally monitors applications' usage too.
You can also use droidwall to block an individual application's internet access. I do not have an unlimited plan too, and to me this works better than monitoring each application.

Hi Schi,
Did you ever have any luck finding an app for this? I'm looking for the same thing as something on my phone is downloading about 500mb a day and I haven't a clue what! It only started about a week ago

exactly, I have similar problem but not as much as yours.
but this kind of app is really necessary but yet no one developed it, at least i haven't found out.
please look out together and let me know if you find something like that.
Using droidwall I've narrowed (I picked it early, it kinda stood out ) the culprit down to application 10019:Camera, Media Storage, Download Manager, DRM Protected Content Storage.
So I've now got droidwall blocking that app for 3G and allowing it on wifi and I just turn on wifi when I need download stuff that requires that app.
I've been searching for this too and finally found something. There's a paid app called "Network Statistics" that does per-app data since phone startup. It's 50p.
However it won't start on my Milestone (2.1, rooted) so... Well at 50p you can give it a try I guess.
Cheers, I'll give it a go.
What's the difference between using something like APNdroid etc to control mobile data and just going checking
[settings -> wireless & networks -> mobile networks -> data enabled]
Does this do something different?
Effectively the same operation.

Thanks for the fast reply.
Does android not allow an easy way to toggle this? Why change the APN name instead?

As in the widget to toggle data connection on/off? You have to download third party alternative.
I got charged for data even with data when roaming unchecked. Apparently A-GPS disobeys that setting. Changing/"disabling" the APN should work regardless.
Heya
I want to use my old Ace as a mi-fi hotspot. It has the tethering option's, but it will use data on its own aswell. I have a few questions regarding this:

Reasons i want this?:

- its cool!
Hope you can help me out

if you want wifi hotspot use air droid , it hotspot the wifi and not the 3g data
[ROM][CM7.2] <<<<||The Ultimatum||>>>> this is the best rom for you and its super good
and if you want to use droidwall so block the things you dont want it to use data
and leave the apps you want to use for data

You can go with the stock rom. Tethering will not work on any CM 7 based rom. So you will have to download the app Wired Tether if you want to use CM7 roms. You can block out all those apps you don't want to use. Hope I Helped

If you block out Google Services, then you will not be able to use any core google apps that needs you to login. May I ask do you need to use any google service like Gmail, Google Map or Google+?

I only want it to be a hotspot for my xperia z1. The z1 goes on the wifi hotspot of the ACE. so the ACE only needs to tether.

In that case, block out Google Play, Google Play Services, Gmail, Google Maps, Street View, YouTube and Samsung Apps(assuming you are using stock, if not block out any other apps pre-installed in it that can uses data). Under Settings menu :
Accounts & sync - untick background data and auto-sync.
Privacy - untick backup & restore.
If you have FaceBook or other social networking apps installed in it, then block it out. Hope I Helped

Back when I was using my LG Optimus G Pro on AT&T I was able to enable tethering verification bypass by editing one of the tables in an sqlite database in com.android.providers.settings from a 0 to a 1.
Hoping and praying that it would be just as easy, I went looking in the same location and alas, did not find the same table entry I found in my LG OG Pro.
I am on a grandfathered unlimited plan and would like to be able to share my data with my other devices as I have for the last 5 years.
Can anyone assist with this matter? Or is a custom ROM my only option?
And just to note, I've already tried FoxFi and all it does is access/modify the stock tethering options. When I try to turn Tethering on, it says "verifying" then directs me to ATT's site to add tethering to my plan. WHICH I REFUSE TO DO.
Thanks in advance!
Just FYI I tried adding the entry: tether_entitlement_check_state 0 to the settings.db and rebooting...but when turning on the hotspot, my phone still tries to verify with ATT.

I myself used titanium backup to freeze the system app "tetheringprovision". Then I use a widget to enable/disable Wi-Fi hotspot. You might get a force close once, but after you setup ssid and password you shouldn't anymore.
Other users report this method working.

I'm thinking about getting a note 3. If he didn't have root access, as I wouldn't, is there any option for tethering (without paying extra pointlessly, of course)?

You either need root access, or to pay for it. Root access is available for the at&t note 3.
