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...
https://market.android.com/details?id=net.ir.apptrafficfree
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.

I use an app called Onavo, its really easy to set up and use!
Find it on Android Market, I tried posting a link but keep getting denied. =/

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

[Q] Any app to prevent some apps to get internet connection?

Is there any app that I can use to prevent some apps to get internet connection? either wifi or 3g? I checked here and found about DroidWall? does it work? for example, I'd like to block just WhatsApp sometimes to get internet while other apps still have connection...is that possible? thanks!

DroidWall, LBE Privacy Guard, and Avast all have a firewall to keep apps offline.
They work most of the time, but right after you boot your phone there's a brief period (couple of seconds) where blocked apps can go online if they start before your firewall wakes up.

I personally use the avast firewall. Nice list of apps given here. Just my two cents. Avast also allows you to specify which type of connection an app can use. For example, wifi only or 3g or none. don't know about the others.

The others do the same thing, but avast goes one step further.
Avast splits 3G into 3G on your home network and 3G when roaming.

One question, I've heard IceCreamSandwich prevents previously defined apps to get wifi or 3G, is that right? thanks!

i use droidwall....its good uses no memory!!

Sorry, I was saying that if ICS includes some kind of feature to prevent apps to get 3g, for example, configure it to allow just some apps to get 3g data?

wifi trick

Hi guys
I've a few applications that really want Wi-Fi to function. I want to trick them while on 3G.
Can this be done?
On iPhone you've a great app on cydia which is fixed in 1 minute.
Android should be easier right?

it s first time to read this problem!
in all apps that need internet i didn't see any request to connect just wifi and not working on data!!!
IF an app ask for just wifi and thr s no setting inside it to change... SO uninstall that **** and use another app
all apps in android have setting to choose internet over wifi or 3g or both
:good:

What are you using root for?

Now that we have root. What are you doing with it?
So far I've just done a full tibu backup. Debloated a few apps. Greenified almost all Google apps. And tasker to turn on and off gps when I open maps.
I'm scared to get to crazy with out a recovery.

I'd like it to add call recording to my att s6, install adblock (already done), disable the headphone volume warnings, and maybe install Wanam Xposed at somepoint?

AdAway, disable volume warning, titanium backup

Can make some simple csc changes e.g sort app draw a-z.

Running omniswitch for recent apps, LMT with pointer for easy one hand operation. Full monitoring of wakelocks etc with BBS to hopefully better optimize battery. Will probably approach that with greenify, but haven't done that yet. Probably run an ad blocker.

What did you use to disable volume warning? I only know xposed modules that do that

@zathus
I've been trying to do that with mine but it doesn't seem to work. What am I doing wrong/what should I be doing?
Selected Maps -> Task>Location>Gps>On

You need the secure settings plug in. It's on google play.
Aplication>maps
Tasks>plugin>secure settings>system settings>Location mode>high accuracy.

There's a thread here on XDA with it. In the Android apps and games subforum I think.

Thanks for helping me out. Hmm it still doesn't automatically turn it on for me.

What I'm looking to is to toggle Location on and off, not just change location from battery saving to high accuracy. Can this be done?

I also want to know how to disable the loud volume warning as xposed isn't compatible..

I tried making a profile myself but I found that it was easier to use the "GPS Toggle" feature rather than the location mode. GPS toggle will switch between high accuracy and power saving modes. It only requires one task as well.

What I've done so far:
Install AdAway (essential)
Restored old Titanium backups from my SGS4
Enabled hidden features: Call recording, camera shutter sound off, Alphabetical order in Apps drawer, Enable Camera during call, Enable rotate in Gallery)
And things I'm going to do,
Debloat, but waiting for some friendly soul to post a list or script
Titanium backup everything
Find a way to hide root from stupid enterprise framework I need to have to access work email

Is that Xposed still not work on S6 Lollipop?

Selectively disabling Mobile Data

How can I selectively disable Mobile Data for Apps (Just like in iOS) ?
The complete disabling of "background data" doesn't suit my purpose.

Settings, data usage, cellular data toggle
That's one way.

If you don't mind installing another application. I would recommend MobiWol. Just turn on the VPN and select the apps that you do not want using any Cellular data.

Thanks I shall try that out. Is that a VPN to trust or just a local Android VPN? The App's ratings are just around 3.x.

It is not a VPN, they are just enabling a firewall and sending all traffic thru the firewall. If you look there FAQ's you can see that information on why they did that. Its because this way you dont have to rely on root to enable firewall

I use NetGuard to disable mobile data on selective apps.

That's cool as well. But doing it individually for hundreds of installed apps are a chore. Wish there was a centralized place and global policy (just like the other apps mentioned above) to manage.

It's better to use what is already in MM.
I use it for an app and it's working well.

It was built in since Kit Kat, maybe before that.
