Hi! I'd like to now whether it's possible to check which application is using the network, and how much it uses it. I've heard that in "Spare parts" selecting "Battery history > Network usage" you can check this, but on Samsung Galaxy S it only says that the data is not available. If there is no such app is there a ROM that enables this data?
I've had the exactly the same problem! Would be grateful for any ideas or apps to determine what is downloading data
i'm using 3G watchdog
best app so far that tells me my usage
I don't think 3G Watchdog tells you what app is actually using it though.

But it does not show usage per application. There appears to be no app that can do this
Edit: The Battery history menu can show network usage on the Froyo JPC firmware. Use the SGS info app, can be found free on this forum or as a purchase on the Market.
Or dial *#*#4636#*#*
It doesn't look right though, Just a blue are red bar for each app, including the Dialer, an app called "0" which has the highest usage here, and "1010". No number to go with the bar.

at least you can sleep well knowing our phone can stand all those abuses and still lives
unless you drop the phone from over 1.5 meter tall
I'd really like this too. Definitely want to know where all my data is going.....
well if you think of it, you are only doing these as the very basic:
1. email (text)
2. web (text & video streams)
3. calendar sync (text)
4. contact sync (text)
5. facebook sync (text)
6. tweeter sync (text)
7. IM and/or (text)
less conventional data usage
8. Fring <------- video uses more
9. internet radio stream <--- high data usage as well, but less than video
10. FTP server (depends on usage)
11. Torrent (depends on usage)
12. Remote Desktop / VNC <--- medium data usage
so in the end, there is no way you do not know where you are using losing your data to
That is mostly true - but sometimes you have mystery usage.
Today, for instance, i got ticked off, and disabled background sync entirely. I already have my emails only polling every hour, and weather every 6 hours. (with background sync off, it shouldnt even poll at ALL.) I don't have any facebook/twitter stuff, and didnt even go near the web browser. The phone somehow STILL used over 10mb of data in about 5 hours. I dont know what is using this data, and its annoying me.
Thus the continued request to find a program that will show usage PER APP.
I have the same issue
Same problem here, its only been 3 days and i already have 100mb of data usage. I've downloaded some apps but not enough to give me 100mb of data! This is realy weird and frustrating.

Well, i have discovered that such a program does indeed exist.
BUT - it only works with froyo. BOOOOO!
I have the page bookmarked for when i get it though!
Here it is: TrafficStats
Nice, now all my Galaxy S needs is Froyo...
i'm so looking forward to froyo
2 more week to go
i too want to install that Traffic tracking App
After 2 years with trusty Nokia N8 I took delivery of an S3 with ICS on T-mobile here in UK yesterday with 750mb monthly data plan, more than I have ever used before on the Nokia.
I spend much of yesterday downloading Android updates and Apps on my home wifi, no problem.
This morning on 3G i get the warning I have reached my 750mb limit... in 24 hours!
The culprits are background data downloads by Opera Browser (Turbo Mode) 351mb and Android OS background 301 mb.
I have no idea what is going on especially the Opera Browser as I had only browsed a few pages.
Could somebody help me please to identify what might be going on. My first 24 hours with the lovely S3 is turning into a nightmare!
Thanks.
Does the Opera browser try to cache future web pages you may visit in turbo mode, thus using your monthly data?

Do you have background data on?

Remove that opera, and limit the playstore to wifi only in the playstore settings.
Turn the data limit option on and set it to x MB per day / month to control it.
Did the data usage so on the phone give you the warning or did it come from your service provider?
Sometimes i transfer things with samba through wifi to my pc, and my phone reads it as data usage.

Use some guys apps from the play store like traffic data, etc for daily limiting

Hit thanz if I helped!

Check opera settings and check if it's trying to cache webpages on mobile data, and for the AndroidOS settings, disable sync for your google account and just sync it when you are at home manually, also check other sync settings, see if they are seen as "AndroidOS" not the app also disable Samsung account sync.
And on a limited plan be sure the mobile data limit is set to make sure there are no unexpected fees.
And finally, on the data usage page press the menu capacitive button and check "restrict background data" this will ensure there is no data being transfered in the background unless you are on WiFi, for example your google account will not sync out and about, but it will once you connect to WiFi.
thank you for all these quick responses. To answer questions. I have since switched off background data as soon as i found out. T mobile website not yet able to show my usage to see if phone mistook wifi use for 3g. Opera turbo is supposed to shrink data before it gets to phone. It shrunk 1.7gb to 244mb goodness knows why so much. I was just browsing help forums. Is gt normal for 301mb of android os background to go on on day two ofowning phone?many thanks.

My usage from 14th Oct to today (so 2 days) is 198MB, which is including everything, background data is about 56.66MB, that includes Android OS, dropbox, skype and a few more apps.
Depending on the apps installed you could see some huge background data numbers. As for your browser I would swap Opera for Firefox or chrome, chrome for me has used 150KB background data for me and caching websites is only done over wifi by default.
Dont know if you're using Picassa as well? I've heard this can also be one of the culprits when syncing...
I dont use it myself so dont know..
Lol, sync Picasa album should be the culprit, turn it off
《swagged from aokp》
on my i9305 i havent set any limits and only used 771mb in 10 days. and ive used the phone for updates etc
picasa raped me once.
just restricted its use to wifi.
luckily for you (and me!) T-Mobile don't charge anything if you go over limit and they still let you browse, email, facebook, tweet etc. only restrict streaming videos!

Hmm restricting streaming videos would be a bad thing for me, love watching youtube on the bus lol
Many thanks for prompt replies. I have taken on board all replies to avoid this again. No more opera or background update on 3g. Thanks very much
Hi,
I own a Huawei P8 that runs on B370.
From time to time I get this pop-up message when opening an app that asks me if I want to remove the data restriction. Offcourse I choose to remove the restriction. But that doesn't seem to help. I've added some screenshots (in dutch).
Things i've noticed while on data connection:
Google apps don't work
Synchronization problems in google-account
Gmail (+others) asks to sign in, but when pressing the button it doesn't
No location services
Tethering/hotspot doesn't work probably due to no access
Some apps (snapchat, etc.) don't load or pushes notifications
While other apps run smoothly on my data network...
On wifi no problems!!
I don't want to do a full reset of my phone, so I hope somebody knows how to fix this!
Thanks!
Try updating to B380. There are some changes to data management ui. Before that you can clear the data of System manager app.

Hello, today me looked on my phone's Data Usage rankings.
And my Eys exploded almost, as i saw that Google Backup Transport did used "380mb" in 24hours !!!!
I want to restrcit some of my Apps on my Huawei P8 Lite from the Network, but it still using loas of data without me using the phone.
I also disabled and stopped many Apps via SD Maid, and turnded of Syncing of Google contacts & Kalender.
Please.. Help Mee
How i can reduce the Data Usage ?
adclear
Download adclear and go through the steps. You can restrict apps from accessing the internet through your service provider if you add those apps to AdClear's firewall
Sooo just a general issue i have if anyone knows any solutions
while on mobile data (not wifi) some apps have no access to mobile connections(nothing loads)
i tried resetting the apn settings and also saw that anything is restricted
no app is restricted neither in background nor for cellular data
any ideas ?
example: banking app, messenger, chrome work as intended with data but not discord or reddit for example
also a weird thing is im getting notification on discord but cant open it anyway
and one last thing i noticed is that the arrows of data icon when i open the certain app they dont do the animation that packet are transfering
Im on xiaomi.eu 12.0.6 stable
