Hi there, I noticed that the data usage counter is not the same as what my network is counting. It looks like my network is only counting my download data while the phone is also counting my upload data.
Is this correct? If so, is there a way to disable my phone from counting my upload data as well? Thanks!

Anyone know a good freeware data counter to keep up with how much data is transferred each billing period?

Another potential fix is to get unlimited internet access; with Cing it's only $19.95; then, no counting, no worries.... Cing also keeps track of data use through it's online access site, generally only 1-2 days behind real time but gives you a good idea of data usage.

SmaatoCost is an AWESOME app. It will even break down your data useage between GPRS and WiFi, so you know how much of each type of connection you were using. I've been using it for a little over 9 months and can say it's been pretty much "on target" as far as how my data useage has been billed and all the rest of my billing details (calls, SMS, MMS, etc.)
- have to install a program that download and displays ads (hope it only do that...)
- ugly display on vga ppc (htc touch diamond)
- doesn't seem to detect the gprs data on my diamond, it only display voice call info... and tried several "recalculate", tried to have data connection while the program is running... recalculate again... nothing. It still diplay 0 data connection...
So a lot of options/config, seem to be a nice prog, but useless if it doesn't detect the data connection info...
What is it with all of the Diamond people coming to the Wizard boards lately? This works for the Wizard, not the Diamond, which is why it isnt in their forums.
Is there a data counter that helps me keep track of data coming and going from my phone.
On a limited data connection and just curious to see what is using it all.
Would also bee cool if it associated %data with applications
spb wireless monitor
lc minutes
look in the wiki for the links
is there an internal data counter in Android?
i dont have an Data Plan and the carrier charge me for using data and thats why i want to limit the use of it and count it as well
also is there a way to stop the telephone from keep using the data connection like NO DATA in WinMo devices?
thanks
APN Droid can make it so that you won't connect to data and Net Counter (I think that is what it is called) can tell you how much data you have used. Both of them should be in the market.
Hi,
I've been using the HD2 for a couple of months now. Love the phone, esp after installing some of the cool tweaks from this forum.
i've also been reading about the tweak to stop data access, particularly when overseas, so as not to incur high data roaming charges. I tried to install one such cab but it slowed down the phone a lot and I finally uninstalled it.
My questions is this :
1. If I just wanted to use the phone to make calls and send sms (using 3G network) while I'm overseas, if I disable the auto update features in Weather, Stocks and Twitter, will the phone still access data automatically when data services is detected while I'm overseas ? What else should I disable or set to use the phone just for calls and texting ? I suppose i should not read MMS while overseas as well since it will incur internet charges.
2. What about disabling internet access ? how can i do that ?
3. I understand that if I see the 'H' sign at the top of the phone where the '3G' sign is, it does not mean that there is data access (it just mean that HSPA is avail). there is data access only when there is double arrow sign. is this understanding correct ?
Sorry for asking so many fundamental questions.
thanks

Hey guys! Just got my vibrant today, it is a beautiful phone. Going to root it and remove all the bloatware in a second here
Quick question for you guys-my current plan with T-Mobile does not include data. In the few hours I've owned the Vibrant, it has already sucked down several MBs of data...what is the best way to disable the data connection altogether? I only want to use data over wifi, nothing else.
Some googling revealed the app 'APNdroid'-is this still the best way to disable data, or is there a more current solution for the Vibrant?
Thanks!
That's odd. What plan are you on that allows you to access data without having a data plan?
To access data, I assume you'd need T-Zones at the very least (unless there's something even older that I'm forgetting). In which case, you will be nagged to upgrade to the 'Android Data Plan' after about 6-12 hours.
So confused.
I have a grandfathered myfaves plan. I definitely don't have data, was pretty confused when my phone started using data on the drive home. It completed a Google search for me and the 3g icon popped up in the notification bar. Hmmm....
Well if it helps any, I know for Bell Canada at least, even if you don't have a plan with a data addition, you can still access data (except at a really ludicrous rate).
(Or actually, this might be the case only because bell always put's it's browsers and junk on phones, even its feature phones)
Call T-Mobile and ask for a data block.
