App to monitor data usage ?

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

3G Watchdog.

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 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!

data usage monitor app - for each app??

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,

I've been searching for similar apps as well (light weight)
Found another option...

Seems to use built in data monitored by the os, for ver 2.2 onwards only though.

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.

Onavo is a good app indeed. Clean look and feel and very useful!

Web/User Agent mode

While browsing on here I noticed some sites that have mobile versions with no link to switch to desktop stay in mobile mode even when the user agent is changed to desktop. I wondered if this is a Sprint thing or Epic problem?

open your browser and type
"about:debug" w/o the quotes. then press enter. nothing on the screen will change, press menu> settings and choose user agent string

Isn't this a cookies thing?

what site?
I do notice some sites still go to m.********.com
but sites like google and facebook dont seem to be an issue to me
try dumping the nav cache the cookies and if all else fails. Make a backup and restore to stock to see if it is a problem with your rom.
if it works on stock then ok. if not maybe there is a problem with your rom.
P.S.
dont forget to sign out of any site that you are signed into

I'm stock no root or custom yet(waiting for 2.2) but Chase website and Tube8(nsfw) among other flash based sites. Now I don't have flash but some sites offer flv/mp4 downloads which I can play.

I had this issue as well. Here's how I solved it
Type about:debut in the address bar then hit enter (you won't see it do anything)
Go to Settings, change UAString to Desktop
Check the option for Normal Rendering about 5 settings up
Now all sites come up in the full version for me.

thanks los...

Tried this, and BBC.com still reverts to the mobile site for me regardless.

Did that but it still goes to mobile on certain sites. I also recently tried using a frame like when you translate a page the url at the top is say google translate but you're somewhere else but couldn't find one that allows pages to load properly (the mentioned example being the mobile site lol and couldn't translate pages). Next thing for me to try is a web proxy but this method and the one before definitely won't serve me for practical use, so at this point I'm just seeing what works.

Motorola Field Utils

So has anyone used this app since the 3.2 update? From what I can see, it has more capabilities to available then I seem to remember from before(though I could be wrong) and the sim slot can read sim cards now(at least it read my T-Mobile sim card). I did change my network in the settings to GSM/UTMS/EvDO/CDMA and in the phone information test area it now says GSM/CDMA Auto PRL just like my Nexus S does on T-Mobile, even after rebooting. Sadly I don't know if this even matters, or if all the changeable settings would allow the use of GSM. Nor do I know enough to attempt to make this work. Just thought I'd share my "findings", and if they are in fact useless I'm sorry for wasting peoples time.

hmm where would i get that app? sounds interesting!
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App

Hold the volume up and down buttons as you turn the xoom on. You will see cold booting linux in the top left of the screen, followed by,more text like LTE off. Once the xoom is finished booting, in the app drawer there will be a Field Utils app with the Motorola logo. The codes will be 000000
I guess I'm really wondering if we can unlocked this device like we can phones.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App

using a wifi only model. the unit has the field utils app however the six zeroes (000000) do not work for the spc password.

Yeah i saw this in the app list but never knew what it was. Cant do anything with it and dont see the apk in the usual directories. Dont think wifi only version would be able to get the cell network working as type hardware for it should be missing. Maybe there is hardware somewhere and maybe some day there may be guide how to install it and get it working.

Read post #3 in this thread......

yes when i get into the radio part it runs tests and says "CANT FIND NONE" LOL.. however there is a screen test and program (or some such) test that the wifi unit could still benefit from..
would like to know the correct SPC to at least try the other tests...

File Sharing Between Devices

Hey guys. I'm loving my N7 but I have 8 GB (gift not choice) and I'm having issues getting the most out of the space
I want to quickly move large files to my GNex. Native WiFi Direct will connect the devices but no native share option shows in gallery or file manager. Many WiFi sharing apps use actual WiFi and not Direct. The very few that do are clunky and not hat great (IMO)
I do not own a S3 but from what I read S-Beam is exactly what I'm looking for (NFC to connect WiFi) but the threads on the matter go unanswered.
For now I'm using Anysend and waiting until I get home to transfer but I was just wondering if anyone has better options

Hi, there's an app on the play store called 'WiFi shoot' or 'shoot wifi' . I can't remember it uses WiFi direct and will give you the option in the gallery's or file browsers to send it
It was made by another user on here.
Edit. It's called wifishoot!. Links here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.budius.WiFiShoot&hl=en
Unfortunately, I haven't been able to test it as my arc doesn't support WiFi direct. But it was made to work with the gnex so you should have no problem

Thanks! Turns out AnySend can set devices to auto accept and transfer. The UI is also very clean so other than not using direct, I'm OK with it
I have used WiFi Shoot and its half of what I'm looking for. It crashes and errors many times (this could only be me) and the share option takes you to the app and needs the other device to have the app open
Anysend is good enough unless an APK of S-Beam can be ported I'll use it and keep the hunt on

in case you are still looking for options to share data thru wi-fi and wi-fi direct, i developed an app "PeerDeviceNet" which allows you do exactly that and more. It has been on google play for a while. unfortunately i cannot post the link here (too new to post external links). you can find links at my web site: peerdevicenet.net , or search for it at google play. i tested with nexus 7, samsung tab2, kindle fire(last year version), and an old galaxy phone. it supports android 2.2+.
