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
How much data are you allowed?

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

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.
Title says it all,
I'm looking for a great tracking app/widget that I would be able to customize; Let's say, I can set it so it doesn't count my talking minutes on weekend and nights and I can enter who are in my top10, which it wouldn't count either for minutes and texts.
Same kind of app/widget that would track my data but could be set to not track off certain site or app.
Duno if these exist but any suggestion will be greatly appreciated
*I'm currently using Quota and Usage Counter, both free version.

Found nothing that does all the work maybe a combo of the following.
DroidStats + Phonalyzr + Call Meter NG (Can exclude numbers)

Could someone please link me to a mod which allows me to completely remove mobile data services from my phone since switching off data still allows some apps to turn in on. Lost all of my credit (had a lot of it) thanks to this new phone i bought.

I dont know if anyone notices this but my stock messanger had it's limits changed from 12 pages 150 some charachters per page to a 999 countdown just like it would when id activate volte on my note 5. I communicate by large texts a lot so this kind of sucked for me. Seeing there was no way to check right away cause of no volte setting anymore im thinking volte isn't activated right away till a call is made that can use volte cause i always had the larger character limit till today. Finally a little while ago i used App Shortcut Maker from the market which allowed me to make a shortcut for the volte setting/hd voice, i have no clue where the setting is buried to find normally but in the shortcut creater it was under the 2nd phone icon then under /kthdvoicesetting, but sure enough it was checked & after i unchecked it now i have my larger up to 12 page 150 some character per page limit back. Hopefully this can help some people out who need the larger text limit or others just wondering why this is happening out of nowhere or wanting to turn hd voice on or off. Just create a shortcut for your homescreen & you can change the setting.
Hey Dear. I need your help Please can you send me System/App/imsservice foldef. You can do it with root explorer.it working Without Root.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the help to get VOLTE off

Are you trying to remove the volte icon in the statusbar or something? Just asking cause i seen that folder holds them icons in it i think. If so there's a very easy setting to turn that icon off. It's also another setting without any normal way to get to it but i know how.

No Mate i need that file for S6 Note 7 Port rom please if you can send me that.
It's Advanced messaging that turns on. Also you get a 10MB file limit instead of 1MB. Without VoLTE you cant keep those limits.

Hey thank you so much for that info. I never even knew i could send a mms larger than 1.2mb even with that on. I always wondered why in the world there was options to send videos straight from the camera if they always said to large to send. Now im just going to make an on off switch for my home screen so i can always leave the hd voice setting on & just click it off when i need to send a larger msg that i dont want to send as mms. Much appreciated.
