Any App exist to do band switching during and after web browsing?

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).

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.

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,
/barfly...

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.
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.

Mine does that too...but only when on 4g. I can only stream from that app when I'm on Wifi, anything else gives me the same connection error.

its an app that comes commonly loaded if you're running custom ROMs, if you arent rooted / running a custom ROM, then this probably isnt the case for you.

nah that's not worth it.
Maybe try clearing app data? this appears to be more of an app issue than a note 3 specific issue. You might try to google that error for the show box app in general and see what people are saying fixed it. Some people said they fixed this by connecting / disconnect to wifi etc.
If all else fails try VideoMix. its a similar app. although the interface isn't as good

Are you trying thorugh wifi - some ISPs are blocking showbox. I know because Talktalk definately block it, try it either on data (make sure you have a decent data plan or that will cost you a bomb!) or another ISP.

It worked

How to use the new VPN thing lol

So, I use Nord VPN premium. How can I use it in the android settings instead of the app?

In the WiFi settings you have a VPN section, set noordvpn as default and always on.

Is it fast? because I've tried free app versions of VPN and whenever I try to watch or download something it's to slow

I use NordVPN as well. Speeds are usually very good. Only faster one I've used is IPVanish, but it's based in the US and doesn't have access to things like Netflix. But speed for that one are off the charts if you just want a VPN service that's rapid.

I been using TorGuard for almost 2years now and it works great even speeds for me when I am on 4G LTE so I don't complain.
I even set up my OnePlus 6T to block connections without VPN because I do not want it online without being connected to a vpn.

I've used Adguard for years, never had a problem.

That app if for connecting to the Tor Network. Definitely not the same as a VPN. Please do your research before recommending things like Tor to people as it has its own security considerations to deal with.
