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,

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.

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:

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.

Onavo is a good app indeed. Clean look and feel and very useful!
Hy everyone i try to find for days an app like watchdog but for data usage.
Showing data usage per app any IDEA?
Many thx in advance
Hi. I just started using mobile internet but my telco only give me 250MB per month. What apps do you recommend that can control the data usage? For starters I've been using android firewall to block some apps from using my data. But I would like to know more apps. And how do I block the system update OTA from using my data to check for updates?
Why not just turn off the data radio until you actually need it?

i have been using macrodroid to turn off data when screen off(and other things). But you can do this a number of ways, through settings, and long pressing on the tile in quick settings will bring up a screen to turn off mobile data to

Just use Greenify. Best app and has really good response. If you try this you'll never go back. It hibernates lots of apps and stops them from draining batt/data in the background remember to disable notifications in the background for all internet-related apps.
Greenify also works for ALL apps. Just add it to the grenify list.
It's the only app you're gonna need and is gonna solve your problem.
Also in settings, set the Data usage limit so you don't exceed it. Good luck

I find that the built-in data usage monitor under Settings - Data Usage works really well.

First, try to disable every unessesary syncing in accounts and notifications in app settings especially Facebook app (uncheck show notif for this app)
Are you rooted?
If yes, install droidwall (firewall app), use the white list to enable the apps that you need to be connected only.
If no, try to uninstall every free apps that you are not using (free apps = ads = data usage in background) and/or disable the mobile data when you dont need it?

I have been using facebook for 2 years on my phones and it never cause a big background usage. Im not rooted. Thanks for the reply.
Please can somebody tell me how much Android OS usage is normal on mobile data ? I think I will do a factory reset but I am still not sure what's causing this...
Really odd. Mine has only used 13MB in several days. Are you using smart network switch?
In the data usage settings, when you tap an app, there will be an option to Restrict background data. Check that for unessesary apps.

Nope. 200MB are now gone. Just for 3-4 days of doing nothing.

I would factory reset, it seems that fixes most problems for people.

I think I somehow fixed this. Android OS used 2-3MB of data today.

Can you please clarify about how did you fixed it? Mine is getting overwhelmingly high about 3gb on wifi (which doesn't matter) but on mobile data plan it has consumed the whole 200mb package. Please advice!
Hi.
the app "feedback" drains at least 10% battery for each charge even if I disable the background activity.
The app cannot be disabled nor deleted.
Anything to do to avoid this issue?
Yeah same here, dunno what to do...
Did you guys tried to disable it with the non-root adb method that was posted long time ago?
I have not had a problem with it, have you tried deleting the app data?
Also maybe settings>apps>feedback (the app)>battery> turn off background activity.
Already disabled background and delete data. The issue persists. Thanks

Where are you getting the 10% figure from, is it "apps usage" displayed under battery or in app info?
Only in app info
Install gsam battery manager, give it the proper authorizations (via adb or root if you are rooted).
Then post a screenshot again.

I thought you were looking in App info, that information is for more than one app, like the data figure it is the app and associated processes, if you click on battery and scroll down, you will see real usage by app, and feedback won't appear in that list because it's not using much at all.
My own was saying 10% but when I look under battery stats the highest usage was Google at 7%, Feedback App did not even appear in the list.
