Hey,
I was wondering if theres an APP or default setting that allows me to view the internet usage used. E.g. How many MB used in total.
Post the name or setting of the APP. Thanks.
yes, droid stats, does your minutes texts and data useage
or Call Meter NG (free with adds on market)
3G Watchdog is the most famous.
+1 for this one, i only watch your 3G usage. I'm still looking for a decent Call and Messaging monitoring app.

I like this app too. It will let you set the billing cycle and your plan's data amount.
And that's the FREE version too
i use "data counter" widget...works awesome

Hi All,
anyone know an app that can auto switch to 3G mode when using web browser (like opera or PIE) goto internet and then change back to 2G when i am done?
this will save a lot of time doing band switching
thanks.
i don't know if this should be post here, but if this app not exist, then may be it is a good idea to create one.

What is your phone doing when you're not browsing? IM? Email? If nothing else is using data, just leave it on 3G. Data online without doing anything doesn't use any battery.
However, if you have online IM or Email, EDGE will save you some battery life at the expense of speed and ability to have data during calls.
yo i wanted an app like this too. before this thread, i was under the impression 2g drained less energy than 3g. Anyway, another reason for something like this is to prevent dropped calls when leaving a 3g zone (aus).

Can anybody recommend an app to monitor my data connection ?
Similar to SPB Wireless on WM.
Any help really appreciated.

I got a widget off the market called data counter, simple front end that sits on my home screen with lots of stats and options in the background, works good for me

NetCounter is also a good one, free on the market.

I use, and would recommend this too.
I use NetTraffic.

It seems some users said it does not work on HTC Desire.

Doesn't work for Wifi on mine, and the cell counter is WELL out as well. I've been downloading quite a bit via 3G over the last week, and it reckons I've only downloaded 1.24MB...
+1 for 3G watchdog - does what it says on the tin. Very pleased with it...
I just tried the "3G Watchdog", but I cannot see any option to "disable" it.
Once I activated by setting it, I saw the icon ets ... but I cannot de-activate / disable / turn it OFF.

Only way I know of to do it is to close it under running services and then open the app again next time you are going to use mobile data.
I just keep it on as I keep my phone on mobile data unless I need to browse the web at home as the wifi is crap for notifications, they hardly seem to work when the screens locked on wifi.
3G watchdog is great!

Hi
Is there any app that can be used as monitoring the data usage of each application?
On example how many kb using mail app, google talk, google maps etc...
So, per application data usage
Thank you
There was a thread asking the same question a while back and it seems the answer is no
I'd post a link but I'm still a newbie
I would like such a app myself - but as a workaround you can dial *#*#4636#*#* , click "battery protocol" (or something like that, my phone is in german...), in the first dropdown "network usage" and then click on the apps and it will tell you how many bytes the program sent/received.
Nice one, that let me see what it was that was using up so much data.
i have an ap called 1013 in this list, but when I click it, I get an error..
does anybody know what this could be?
because its bar is completely filled!!
there's also a bar for media, thats quite high, any ideas what this could be?
because I haven't used any music photo or movie app since I've stopped charging..
3G Watchdog can help
i have been use it for a month... so far so good

Or use the Spare Parts app which essentially does this but in a more user friendly way
I've been using software called Network Statistics. It does exactly what your asking but with a few quirks. It doesn't differentiate WiFi from mobile data so I had to reset the counter when switching from one to the other. The only way I've found to reset the counter is to pull out the battery.
That said, it helped me pinpoint fairly quickly what background app was ripping through my data allowance (foursquare).
It seems the author no longer supports it, but it's still available for 50p. http://www.appstorehq.com/networkstatistics-android-174793/app/buy

This seems to be able to monitor battery and CPU by app but not network use by app? Or am I missing that somewhere?

I just discovered : TrafficStats
http: androidapplications.com/105333-network-trafficstats-lite
It does the trick for me,
/barfly...
I've been searching for similar apps as well (light weight)
Found another option...
https://market.android.com/details?id=net.ir.apptrafficfree
Seems to use built in data monitored by the os, for ver 2.2 onwards only though.
Cheers

You need root for: eNETraffic
For what I can tell it only records 3G traffic
And it has the option to block internet access per application only on 3G (when on WiFi everyone allowed, on 3G some blocked)
Dan.
I use 'My Data Manager', it shows usaage by app and also by 3g and Wifi and has several months of data backed up.
There's a free version with ads and a paid one without.
See:
http://bit.ly/s86P3V
Or just falsh one of ICS roms. They've built in data usage monitor with limits, monitoring for each app and other cool stuff.
eNETraffic has new update that includes wifi. Works great. Do need root.

I use an app called Onavo, its really easy to set up and use!
Find it on Android Market, I tried posting a link but keep getting denied. =/

Here is the link.
Onavo is a good app indeed. Clean look and feel and very useful!
Can someone point me in the direction of an app that will tell me how many minutes and messages I use in a given month? Ideally one that works like 3G Watchdog with a small widget giving me the information at a glance. Thanks in advance.

Call Meter NG? No widget.
Cheers, I'll have a look. A widget would be really useful though.

Droidstats is good
Hi,
try Droidstats, really nice UI, it calibrates after the first months bill. 99% Accurate, i checked today and it was 1 min and 1 text out
if youre on orange why dont you just install the your orange app from the market it works great for me even allows you to change magic numbers and gives data usage aswell

Freewidget. Works for me

Yeah, great UI! Thanks for sharing. I was using Call Meter NG which has no widget...
I use a widget called Tariff Watcher Widget - you can set what your free minutes/texts are each month and when the billing cycle starts and it shows a usage bar and number
I also use Data Watcher Widget to watch Data/Wifi and Roaming data usage - tapping it brings up some little icons that can be used to turn Wi-Fi on/off, get to Wireless and networks settings and seettings for the app
Unfortunately being a new user I can't post the app brain links :S
I use "phonalyzr" try it
Hi,
I need program like spb wireless monitor on my htc hd2 running android, i tried netcounter but i'm not satisfied because it only shows total MB usage it doesn't show what program use what amount of data like spb wireless monitor do... so my question is, is there any program like spb for android???
thanks for your help and offeres...
P.S it doesn't matter if it is not free program ... just urgently i need it...
hey,
been looking for the same thing since switching to android, the closest you're going to get is 'traffic counter pro' or '3g watchdog pro'
both offer free & paid, tho the data per application feature is wildly inaccurate on both apps.

also i have found trafficstats lite... so there is hope that one day we will have something accurate like spb wireless monitor maybe spb itelf will create ...
Since a few days (Weeks?) there is a SPB wireless monitor for Android!
Just check the market and search for SPB.

Traffic counter free version works well. It has log of each app's data connection.

yeh, i bought it a few days ago, app data is a lot more accurate that other apps, but still not as close as it was in wm6.5, all it needs now is a smaller theme-able widget

i agree, its a good app, still use it as a general counter but the sum of the app data (mb), is never equal to the total, not even close. often say an app has use xxxkb when i know its used xxmb
