my story is i found that after i install some new apps, it seems use more battery...
and i check current widget log, im sure some of the new apps is doing sync even i stopped auto sync and background data, so i started to find ways to prevent it, i try juice defender but it cant do so..
after that i found there are "running service" can found the apps which doing sync, then i stopped those service there and seems battery being better
am i doing it right? is there any apps can manage service easily other than click into the "running service"?
sorry for my poor english

Hi! I'd like to now whether it's possible to check which application is using the network, and how much it uses it. I've heard that in "Spare parts" selecting "Battery history > Network usage" you can check this, but on Samsung Galaxy S it only says that the data is not available. If there is no such app is there a ROM that enables this data?
I've had the exactly the same problem! Would be grateful for any ideas or apps to determine what is downloading data
i'm using 3G watchdog
best app so far that tells me my usage
I don't think 3G Watchdog tells you what app is actually using it though.

But it does not show usage per application. There appears to be no app that can do this
Edit: The Battery history menu can show network usage on the Froyo JPC firmware. Use the SGS info app, can be found free on this forum or as a purchase on the Market.
Or dial *#*#4636#*#*
It doesn't look right though, Just a blue are red bar for each app, including the Dialer, an app called "0" which has the highest usage here, and "1010". No number to go with the bar.

at least you can sleep well knowing our phone can stand all those abuses and still lives
unless you drop the phone from over 1.5 meter tall
I'd really like this too. Definitely want to know where all my data is going.....
well if you think of it, you are only doing these as the very basic:
1. email (text)
2. web (text & video streams)
3. calendar sync (text)
4. contact sync (text)
5. facebook sync (text)
6. tweeter sync (text)
7. IM and/or (text)
less conventional data usage
8. Fring <------- video uses more
9. internet radio stream <--- high data usage as well, but less than video
10. FTP server (depends on usage)
11. Torrent (depends on usage)
12. Remote Desktop / VNC <--- medium data usage
so in the end, there is no way you do not know where you are using losing your data to
That is mostly true - but sometimes you have mystery usage.
Today, for instance, i got ticked off, and disabled background sync entirely. I already have my emails only polling every hour, and weather every 6 hours. (with background sync off, it shouldnt even poll at ALL.) I don't have any facebook/twitter stuff, and didnt even go near the web browser. The phone somehow STILL used over 10mb of data in about 5 hours. I dont know what is using this data, and its annoying me.
Thus the continued request to find a program that will show usage PER APP.
I have the same issue
Same problem here, its only been 3 days and i already have 100mb of data usage. I've downloaded some apps but not enough to give me 100mb of data! This is realy weird and frustrating.

Well, i have discovered that such a program does indeed exist.
BUT - it only works with froyo. BOOOOO!
I have the page bookmarked for when i get it though!
Here it is: TrafficStats
Nice, now all my Galaxy S needs is Froyo...
i'm so looking forward to froyo
2 more week to go
i too want to install that Traffic tracking App

I have only found two things to really complain about for this phone...
1) It syncs constantly and never stops until I turn it off.
2) When ever I'm on wifi, it always shows both wifi and network icons. I don't see activity on the "H" icon when on wifi but nevertheless it shouldn't be there.
Anyone with any ideas why these are happening?
Thanks in advance.

I've only noticed the H appear when on wifi if MY ACCOUNT app is open / being used. Use a task killer to stop that app and see if it goes away. Works for me
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
The MT4G has a "task killer" built in:
Settings > Applications > My Account > Force Stop
Thanks for the suggestion but it didn't work right away... However, it seems to have passed now that I have restarted my phone a few times since my original post.
The sync part of the problem is still there and can't find a solution other than turning off sync...
If anyone can help me here I cant get into my accounts
When I open Accounts in settings it closes and I get error process.com.android.settings has stopped unexpectedly.
Before I updated to gingerblur I did clear all data in the accounts setting by using the managing apps section. I did this because I was trying to get rid of motoblur controlling my yahoo acct so I could use K9 Mail instead of motoblur for yahoo because i was never able to just delete the acct so I cleared it's data.... Then when I went to accounts I still saw the yahoo icon but I had no acct information then I updated to gingerblur the day after and since then i get the error when trying to open the accounts section.. it forcecloses immediately and i get the error process.com.android.settings has stopped unexpectedly. Any help would be appreciated.. I cant access my accounts section I also cannot get into data manager when I select it it immediately returns to the home screen... If I go into wireless settings and look at mobile network its grayed out and i cannot access it any help is greatly appreciated.....
Did you freeze anything with titanium. Specifically freezing Motoblur Accounts creates this behavior.
Also, if you ran Titanium Backup to restore system settings, that will cause this issue. The only fix is a factory reset.
Look for the android sdk. There is a debugger called ddms.bat
Connect and run the debugger then open the accounts.
In the debugger you'll see errors and might have a better idea why its force closing.

This seems to be a good suggestion. Have had this same FC problem in "Accounts & Sync". The problem seems quite common (returns many google hits) but there seems to be no typical remedy. E.g., I uninstalled Google Maps updates as suggested in one Forum, but that didn't help at all.
Some questions before using the SDK. My device (HTC Desire) is with a contract with O2 Germany. Can I still use the SDK or would I have to root the device to have the liberty to use the SDK? Have never done rooting etc. so that would be a big step for me; hence want to know more on this.
Syncing of contacts etc. is all hung up for a long time because of this error. Any help most appreciated, thanks!
My Samsung Galaxy Y GT-S5360 has Android version: 2.3.6. My phone isn't rooted.
Recently some unknown app is using my 2G packet data mysteriously. I am on a cheap internet plan, so this uses up good percentage of my data; though I can ignore it. But my phone becomes hot (~35° C) and obviously battery gets used up. The mysterious usage eats up data ranging between 4-20 MBs. I am unsure if it is random or just that I am lucky to notice this and stop it before it goes SPARTA.
To find out, I tried out various usage monitoring apps, but that none helped to find out which app uses the data. The overall usage in the monitoring app accounts to the used sum, but no signs of what app it is.
I just have Google account(with sync off for Picasa albums) and WhatsApp listed in my Accounts and sync settings. Both have been ON since the day I have this phone, but this thing is happening recently, so I cannot blame them. Also, I do not have much that'd get synced and use this lot of data.
I have disabled auto update of my phone and the Play Store apps.
Due to low internal memory, I have uninstalled all of the default app's(i.e Google Map, Talk, Mail etc) updates except Play Store.
For having a clear idea I will list down the apps whose services are ON on my phone:
WhatsApp
Rocket Player - com.jrtstudio.AnotherMusicPlayer
Assistant - com.speaktoit.assistant
Battery Solo Widget - net.maicas.android.batterys
Notification Toggle - de.j4velin.notificationToggle
DRM Content - com.sec.android.provider.drm
Software Update - com.wssyncmldm
Email - com.andoid.email - I do not use this. Never used it.
Google Services (2 processes and 3 services) - Cloud-to-Device Messaging service, NetworkLocationService, Google Message Service.
Messaging
SnsService
Time
SyncmlDS - com.smlds
Maps * 2 (dunno why, but I see 2)
Software update - com.sec.android.fotaclient
Swype
I had linked all the possible apps to their Play Store page for your convenience to know about the app if in case you didn't, the system didn't allow me to, it says I need minimum 10 posts, upon which I do agree.
I had a thought if the counter on my service provider's side is bugged, but I have seen the uplink and downlink symbols continuously lighted, I switch on my packet data and find a crazy amount of data getting accounted in my usage.
PS: I stay in Mumbai, India. I am on Aircel's GSM network.
Will be thankful if you can help me find a solution to this problem. I have tried to provide most the information that I thought would be helpful, please ask if you need more information.
Thanks for reading such big post.
none of those apps listed (if downloaded from the playstore) should cause large ammounts of data usage
Whatsapp out of all of them would most likely be the largest
If your phone is hot its most likey an app is running all the time stopping the phone from going to sleep (as long as you havent got the phone on charge as this will also stop phone sleeping)
you can use this app to see what app is stopping the phone from sleeping

All you can do is flash stock rom via odin and then re-test if you feel you have a rouge app
Hi all,
I'm using my old S6102 while my cell phone doesn't return the warranty. I have seen that my daily 3g data packet (50MB) has finished very fast, and only use whatsapp. Some background process is consuming my 3g. I installed the program Mobile Counter to monitor my network.
The process appears as Download Manager and too android.process.media, consuming 45MB, sometimes download, sometimes upload. But I have no way of knowing, what is being transferred.
Do you know of any method how to find it?
May be the google play service app trying to silently be installed by the google play store, but after I installed whatsapp, I did not see the installation attempt, when it installed, it appeared that the system was low memory.
I set Google Play Store for isn't to update automatically, and installed root to uninstall some programs useless and after unroot.
My rom is the stock, already did wipe data, after and their updates, all ok. After did download the apk from samsung site for updated the google play store, but the problem continues.
I set in:
General sync settings
Background data - marked
Auto sync - marked
Backup and restore
Back up my data - unmarked
Automatic restore - unmarked
Does anyone know what is consuming my 3g internet?
Thanks! Help me!
