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.

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.

As far as I understand, with 2.2 task killers became almost useless in killing tasks.....correct me if I am wrong....
I have some apps on my phone that use lots of data connection and drain battery and every time i kill them, they come back again. So I was thinking instead of killing the app, maybe i can prevent in from accessing data connection. Is there an app for this ?
Can you tell me where you got that info about task killers not working in froyo? Cause I've noticed that And can't find any info about it.

I had Advanced Task Manager and developer noted that in 2.2 OS works differently and therefore task manager doesnt really do the job. Then in here, market comments, and google, i also found the same info.
droidwall is a firewall for rooted phones works good as long as you remember to turn to add or remove exceptions.
theres also apn droid that turns data on/off out right

I see. I got the same response from the system panel developer. I made a thread about it here but didn't get all the answers.
Do you know if this is a permanent change with the way froyo handles apps and multi tasking? Or is this just something temporary because It's not the final froyo release? I'm very curious.

Moved to the Q&A forum.
Anyone know of any apps for WP8 that can keep track of my data usage?
Data Sense is a Verizon exclusive that does that on WP8, rumor is that it will only be on Verizon for a few months before every carrier will have access to it.
I dont know of any 3rd party app that can accuratly monitor data usage.
I'm glad I picked up my phone off contract on Verizon, so I dont even use the Data Sense app but, there is no hacks for WP8 yet, so I could not even extract a XAP from it or anything....YET.
thanks.. hopefully someone will release it soon

There is only datasence available for those careers who have enabled it. A 3rd party app has not the capabilities to monitor the data usage of the whole system.
We have to wait if with the gdr2 update other carriers where unlocked

Yeah nothing here. It does seem to be integrated into my 928, as I can't uninstall it and can only pin the app. Also it seems that Verizon's account app/data sense should be able to access how much data has been used from the carrier to show how much data is left. Also it seems that Data Sense will actually leak over the limit. All it does is stop all background data until its either changed or it passes the date set. It doesn't disable data entirely, as is my preference or isn't even an option.
I'm also waiting for INTEROP or something of the like as there isn't any point for having my dev unlock at the moment.

I hope one comes soon!
Here is what i gathered so far
Data Sense
IE - Reduce data by sending url,..
Limited WiFi data on/off (when the connection is limited the phone will use data connection)
find nearby (map with data sense)
camera default app option - to choose which app will start when using the camera button
fm wasn't activated - it looks like it doesnt even have an built-in FM radio receiver
one note + button pinable (saw that one one today @wpcentral) and indeed it's there
phne storage - other -- im already at 1.10Gb of data there, 14 days of using gdr
some screens
Well I've searched around this forum and found that there wasn't a thread about firewall apps.
My question is: Which app have you tried and found that it works perfectly for you?
My main goal here is to limit some apps from using up my mb's when I'm away from my wifi.
So which app do you guys recommend?
P.S. obviously this might require root which isn't a problem.
A firewall for a phone ? ? Seriously.... It's as useless like many fake antivirus for phones.... Just not install useless and strange apps from other sites, and don't clic on EV every link you receive

Umm...if it wasn't clear from the post, what I meant by firewall is an app that'll prevent installed apps from using up my internet data bundle.
A lot of cariers, including mine, don't offer cheap unlimited data bundles and, hence, I have a need to stop certain apps from accessing the internet when not on wifi.
My question has nothing to do with security.
FW
I'm using the FireWall Plus
And I'm quite happy with it... You can choose if you want block/allow Data/Wifi ... one or both :good:

Well I gave Firewall Plus a fair day's trial, for the most part, it works nicely.
But google now and google chrome seem to be blocked even though they are white listed in the app which is weird. Do I need to check something else for them to work?
Btw, I know the app was set up properly since other apps such as whatsapp to receive Internet while others like facebook don't.

Personally I use black list... so I check GSM or Wifi or both, click to "Save rules" in the top menu and it works... I never had any trouble with it :angel:
I might be something "deeper" of app networking... I would suggest to report it to coders of FP.
I would highly recommend DroidWall...best ever..
Since lollipop update I used all my data in one day. I thought it was turned off as I only use it when I go out.
Can someone please explain the settings to me eg background data

Hi I use wifi 90% of the time so only switch data on when I go out. I thought having that switched of meant it could not use that
I have put 8.17mb and I have put background data restricted.
Is there no way to stop downloads while using mobile data like there used to be

I dont have one its a prepaid phone hence why I cant use a lot. all I know is 10mb a day is too much
youtube and skype
I have a prepaid phone too, I get 1 GB per month for $10.00
Any app can easily send you over 10 MB... it's not even related to data background...
If you show us your data usage then we can give some comments.. if you don't show it then don't post back here

Here in the UK with prepaid phones the typical amount you get is 300-500mb.
If you go into setting and data usage here you should be able to manage what apps get data sent back and forth or if you click the 3 dots at the top next to the search you can restrict all background data, not sure if this is what you wanted but as far as I am aware this is the only way.

thank you for your help. The data restriction is fine but i need to have skype on in case someone needs to contact me. will that still work with the restriction on? Also the triangle notification warning is a pain

You can restrict individual apps, so I supposed you can either restrict all then remove Skype or restrict only the ones you want.
thanks I will try that
