As Title states:
Any way to find out amount of time spent using a particular app? I think this info might be useful. Thanks.

Ok if anyone else has used this program to moniter there data usage i think there is a MAJOR problem... Look at what it says is my wifi useage for the past two days...
If the Dev of the app is on here i think something needs to be fixed
Why are you posting to xda? If you want this bug fixed you should be emailing the developer directly.
By the way, you might want to give NetSentry a shot. It's open source in addition to providing all the basic functions of a net usage meter.

I did email them I just wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one who found it to be weird.
Hello everyone,
i'm trying to collect some Network Statistiks from within my App and run into trouble doing this on the Galaxy S i9000.
Procedure is to get the output from "dumpsys batteryinfo" and parse the output
to collect lines like this:
"#1001:
Network: 415,78KB received, 700,21KB sent"
While this will work on mostly all other Android devices, same did not work on the Galaxy, because there are definitly no lines with these information. They are just missing.
Where are these kind of data collected on the Galaxys modified plattform ?
Are they collected in some other place ? If yes where can i find these historical logged informations?
Thanks for your help in advance !
there is an application to monitor wireless data usage in Android Market
i forgot the name, but it was mentioned a few times on the App section of this forum
Thanks, i know there are many apps in the Market, which are collecting data about wireles network traffic. But all of these apps just add up all the collected values .. regardless which app is causing the traffic. (Just because there is no official method for this delivered by the API.)
What i'm doing with my app, is to differenciate which app will use how much traffic ... this is done by the UID of the specific app causing traffic and the corresponding receive/sent values which i showed in my opening posting.
The #1001 is the UID of this app or process. With this you can easily determine the app/process name.

Oh myvoss.. That's just brilliant =) Have you been able to identity that the UID is always the same for a certain app? Ooooohhh I see a big project there
/me offers himself as a dev-betatester-debugger =)
cheers
Not really Phk,
until now i found no way to clearly identify these process UIDs by that way. The corresponding API-Methods just return "null" on these UIDs. Even parsing the packages.xml and compare the UID/sharedUID doesn't solve that.
But anyhow, i won't stop looking for an other way.
If you want to be able to limit a certain app to "X" mbytes per month (or something like that), you'll have to take another approach, kind of like a firewall implementation.
I don't know but i think you can do it either with iptables hooking your app to all traffic, or you could (in the worst scenario) have to replace a system linked library to implement a hook..
but these are just my brainstorms
Where is the connection between retriving network statistics and limiting certain apps to "X" megabytes ....

Just read yourself again, lol... Sorry if thought ahead.
You're right when you say all netcounters just add up values. Don't you think it would be great, for example, to limit market to 50% traffic and chat to 10% of monthly plafond?
Anyway i see that's not your point with your app... it would be great though.
Hello!
I've been looking around the android marketplace and Googling looking for an application that will auto power-down the G-Tablet after a pre-determined length of inactivity (similar to the screen timeout setting).
I've looked around and I can find android apps that turn devices on and off at certain times and even sets different profiles but I don't want it to turn of at a certain time (e.g. 7pm) I want it to turn off, if my case, one hour after inactivity.
Any ideas or apps I've overlooked?
Thanks

Not sure if it can do exactly this, but Tasker is a very robust scripting/action system. Let's you define scripts/actions based on conditions. I've not tried to do what you are after, but it's likely worth a look:
https://market.android.com/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm&feature=search_result
Note that this is a paid app. Might be some similar apps for free. This is the only one I know of.
I'll take a look at it or see if I can dig up some free alternatives. You'd think android would have a feature like this built-in, but I guess since the android tablet market is relatively new, it's not a feature that would be wanted in phones.
I'm willing to bet that Honeycomb has this feature added to it.
i was looking around the app market seeing what is free and give it a try but one thing i've noticed is how many apps require your location. and it is not like the app/game needs to know my location to work. lots of games that i was looking through require it even though it is all single player on your phone.
so basically, as some article mentioned many moons ago, they are for sending your info to advertisement agencies.
so is there a way to block the show your network thing besides turning your phone to airplane mode everything, or should i just be quiet?
It's modern advertising that uses your location to give you more targeted ads. Chances are you're giving your location away every time you do a Google search anyways.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App
I did a search and I can not seem to find the info I am looking for. I am somewhat new to Android as I mostly use iOS devices. On something such as an Ipad it is easy to loop all traffic through your computer and log it with Fiddler or various other debuggers, but when I do it with my Samsung Tab I do not see any data coming from the applications. You can only log the data being sent by the browser.
I am wondering if there is some special mode I must put it in or an app that allows you to log the data being sent and receieved by Android Apps. I did find an old thread talking about AndroShark, but it says the program no longer works. Is there a new alternative or something I am missing.. Anyway any imput would be greatly appreciated. Thank you ahead of time for your time
Do you mean using ADB to track what's going on under the hood?
What are you trying to track FROM the apps exactly? If you've written an app and want to see what's going on, the standard Android SDK and ADB debugging /should/ get you pointed in the right direction, I think.
i think onavo count might be what you looking for, it allows you to watch your data, and see what app is sending and receiving
