i use "3g watchdog" it is very stable and accurate.
I'm also using "3G Watchdog". has always been very accurate for me. also the widget and optional statusbar-icon come in handy.
3d watchdog is awesome! thx guys! this is the one for me.

Per app
Installed Onavo today (featured on the market) which shows the apps that are using your data as well.
Looks nice, but I'm only using it for a day now.
Therer are several good monitoring-apps, except for the ones already named you could try NetCounter and PhoneUsage. With the last one you can monitor you calls, text and data traffic.

Onavo drains battery and is annoying.
SOme roms, like MIUI have a nice 3g monitor built in the OS. And a firewall. SO this will help keep the balance

i'm not tethering that much, but i think they fixt that with one of the last updates. not sure though.
I've been using 3G Watchdog for a while and I'm very happy with it. Alerts you when you're close to busting your cap and it can even toggle off data before you go over your limit. You can have a data usage indicator in the notification bar and as a widget, if you want, too.
note that some carriers exclude certain downloaded content, and some charge per MB rounded session etc which doesnt get taken into account with most apps
often the carrier itself has an app which tells you your account usage and can send warning message when about to reach limit. Not sure if rogers has this but worth checking out
Traffic Monitor is very accurate, gives more data (tethering, current period, current day ...), is free
but is less colorful...

This may sound like a stupid question, but when I first got the G2 I was about to check my data usage, but now I forgot how. I've gone to my.t-mobile.com and I've check the My Account app. My memory has lapsed!
Checkin' the ole data stream...
Once upon a time it was #DATA#, but I don't think that is the case anymore...
You can see you're data usage on T-Mobile.com. Log into your account, click on Account Use, click on the phone line in question, then scroll down and you will see the Data section.
There are a few apps on the market that monitor usage. But I imagine they also drain the battery.

Now for another question, why is my.t-mobile.com so SLOW?
3G Watchdog is a really nice app to handle data consumption and is very lightweight on both the system and the battery. Look it up on the marketplace.

That didn't answer my question. I did some self testing and came up with about 2 minutes as the time refresh rate. The app is actually quite useful as you can get all your messages in the Universal Inbox.
Sent from my MotoA953 using XDA Premium App
It is useful if u pay for unlimited 3G connection, not my case. So i prefer to download each social network app I use and manually refresh what I want.

Serious? You might not like it, but there are actually people who like Blur. You like it or not, just accept and respect that please.
About the refreshing: I've been looking for it too, but that option isn't anywhere to be found. I've also found the interval for syncing social networking isn't 2 minutes for me... Longer I guess.
Manual syncing is possible, but you have to disable syncing completely for a few seconds and re-enable it. Syncing will start after this.
Not sure if it's of use, but there is the option to only update the Social Networking apps over wifi which can be found in the Data Manager section of Settings.
Cheers,
Steve

I;m not worried about sync or data cos my plan has about 250MB a month...I am planning to upgrade to 1GB a month...
just annoyed about refresh issue that's all.
250MB... that's quite small ammount. With my plan I have 2GB a month, and I'm using about 700MB out of this
Yeah. I dont download music or videos on my phone. I use my PC for that.
Sent from my MotoA953 using XDA Premium App
the reason yours is updating so often is perhaps cuz u have quite a number of friends on ur social networks. what u can do is u can filter which updates you'd like to see from which friends. that could significantly reduce how often your blur updates itself.
another option would be to do what steve suggested....theres an option in settings where it syncs ur social networking over wifi only. that should work
the best option however is to get urself an unlimited data package. 500MB-1GB data allowance would be sufficient, but if ur heavy on skype and other data intensive apps or sights a 2GB package would be recommended.
Guys, the app I'm going to introduce is "data on demand". Just search in the market for it.
The function is simple, it just auto switch the data connection off when the sreen is off. It reconnect the data connection everytime you turn on the screen.
One condition to note is that you don't need push mail, and you don't
mind receiving whatsapp message only when you turn on the screen.
This app greatly extend my battery life.
Hope you enjoy.

Nothing about JuiceDefender is going to cause your phone to "act strange or reboot" especially the free version. Since it runs in the background and is therefore using memory it could theoretically (in conjunction with too many other things running) cause lags. All it does is regulate when your data/wifi are turned on which is how it saves battery. If you have the Ultimate version then CPU scaling is an option, so if it works with your kernel/ROM you could scale down the CPU to the point it causes problems but that would be your own fault.

Well said, I just use the widgets that come w/cyanogen 6 at the top of the notification bar to manage what I want. I can go about a day and a bit more, especially with undervolting.zip, 2G only and being smart about wifi.
I lose less than 1% every 2 hours in standby after undervolt with JuiceDefender, AutoKiller, AutoRun Manager and running Lookout. If I wasn't such a heavy user I could likely get almost 3 days using my phone for nothing but calls, text and minimal browsing. I'd say apps like this can be extremely helpful if used right and are hardly a hassle after you set them up.

Other than not being ble to call 911 if needed it is my daily driver. Love it so far. There seems to be a bug with ringtones that I have noticed so I just don't use the digital ringer. WiFi is pretty stable, but no reboots, lock ups, or much of anything else other than things listed.

No.
The way things were before I stopped using it, you can either have WiFi broken, or 3G broken. You cannot have both working, and have the phone change between the two of them.
Battery life is horrible with it. 50% worse than touchwiz roms.
It is really not worth using until it is ready, and it is not near that level yet.

Classy.
On 10-22, WiFi would cut out every now and then.
After updating to 11-24, WiFi no longer worked, period. There was a fix zip posted in the thread, which fixed WiFi, but broke 3G.
I reflashed to touchwiz at that point, as it was clear that CM7 was not going to work for me at its current stage.
Using touchwiz, I get 2 days of battery life.
I got around 28 hours with CM7.

And to think I wondered why there is so much drama in this developer community.
I have a problem logging into my goggle account. I had it set up fine when I came to cm7 (1122 build) from Acs Ics 4, as it prompted me after a clean install to login. I have since flashed the modified wifi 1122 build over the original 1122 and advance restored Data. I have now lost my goggle account login.
When I try to open the market it asks me if I want to login, yes or no. Whichever I select it takes me back to my homescreen.
So I go to settings, account & sync, add account: it only let's me create an exchange account (not sure if this is normal). I have entered my gmail account info, but it will not accept it and login. It asks for the domain and server... not sure if I can access my google account that way or not.
I don't really want to have to do a clean install every time a new build comes out and then reinstall all my apps. Doing an advanced restore to get data back in CWM is so much quicker and easier. Is there another option or remedy to this?
Any help is appreciated.

I am running Juggernaut ROM and used it to tether quite heavily this past few days. I received a text message from T Mobile telling me to sign up for their tethering plan. I think they were monitoring the amount of data usage I was using and I exceeded some limit over a certain time frame. Is there anyway around this? Previously I only tethered for a few hours at most. Thanks.
No way around it

Google how to change the user agent on your internet browser. The T-mobile upsell page only shows up when it detects you're using a desktop browser via the user agent. Try tethering to a tablet or Google Chrome with the user agent set to Firefox and it works fine even after they send you the message saying your tethering is blocked.

The quick workaround for the tether monitor upsell is to use a VPN... You can use a free service (I use VPN Reactor) or a paid service (such as StrongVPN).
To find and setup VPN Reactor, use HTTPS://www.google.com to perform a search... VPN Reactor is a secure (HTTPS) site and the upsell notice will not appear (which you might have noticed when checking any other secure site, such as GMail).
I hope this helps those looking for a solution to the tether upsell notice.
Idk if this is possible but using cm9 and aokp I have had no problems with tethering, and from what I have been reading perhaps aosp derivative roms don't have this issue?

yeah, you've got to get rid of tethering manager completely.... in other words find a rom that doesn't need it!
TMo can stop you from tethering if they want to, It's just a balance of the expected revenue gain and the likely backlash. If a nasty message accomplishes one without the other, it's a no brainer.
If you are rooted on a custom rom from the development section most likely you shouldn't receive any messages. That doesn't mean they aren't tracking your data. You will be throttled to 60kbs when you've reached the limit. For most people that's 2 or 5 gigs of data. There used to be a work around for the throttle but it's been patched.
