Along with the complete overhaul of the settings app, the battery stats section was also overhauled in android O. One thing, however, that you can't do with the new graph, is see everything that's been using you battery all in one convenient list. According to whoever was assigned an issue on the google issue tracker about this, there should be a button or something titled "show full device usage", and this should show everything that's using your battery, screen and google play services included. does this option show up for anyone using the developer preview? i can't seem to find it, and i want to make sure i'm not missing anything.
In my settings>Battery menu, if I scroll down I have a list of apps taht use the battery in order of percentage used.

but that only shows the apps that you've used, it doesn't include google play services, nor does it include your screen or other hardware.

Please note that this is the free version of Unlock History. Purchasing the full version supports further development of Unlock History and is truly appreciated.

This new app secretly checks and show all successful unlocks, apps used and the duration for which the device was used so you can check if someone else was using the phone, making your android smartphone more secure.
It is also a great tool for parents to monitor the phone usage by the child, or one could spy on their friend's phone as this app works silently.
The feature to set password makes sure that only you can check your device's record.
The complimentary widget not only looks good but also makes it easier to view the last unlock.
Main Features:
- Option to set password.
- Material UI
- Silently checks usage and shows no notifications.
- Automatically starts when the phone boots.
- Older usage data get cleaned up regularly if configured.
- Consumes very less battery.
- Very light weight tracking mechanism.

[Library] [API 7+] "MaterialPreferenceLibrary" - materialize your preferences
I liked that Google supports a lot of devices using its support-library, and offers Material-Design for API 7 and above, but sadly it lacks big time when it comes to the settings screen (PreferenceActivity and related classes).
It's weird to see so many apps have everything in material-design style, yet the settings screens are left behind. Google's own apps have this behavior too.
Even Google's own solution has its disadvantages:
1. no support for SwitchPreference for GB
2. no support for material-design dialogs for any of the preferences.
3. no action bar items for GB
So, I've made my own customized classes and put it in my app, but then I realized other people might want to use it, so I've worked on it further, and published this library:
https://github.com/AndroidDeveloperLB/MaterialPreferenceLibrary
The library, like the support library, support API 7 and above, which is practically 100% of the devices out there.
Here's a demo of how it looks like on GB vs Lollipop:

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
(go to the library's webpage to see it as a video)
The sample in the repo should be enough to try it out, but you can also see it in action on a real app, like my own "App Manager" app.
Hello guys !
In this tutorial I will teach you guys to access stock data usage without root.
Data usage is present by default in android phones but for some reason it is hidden.
So,here is the method.
1. Download the app "HiddenApp Launcher".
2. Look for Data Usage in the list and long press it.
3. It will create a shortcut of Data Usage.
4. DONE.

We aren't talking about the same thing. I'm talking about stock data manager which is usually present in settings>more>data usage.
And obvio it isn't hidden in Samsung phones. ?
I have KlW-L21. Well after doing a bit of search i have come to know that in my VARIANT of phone THAT option is missing in traffic management app. Like seriously. ?

i reset the phone, now the battery menu for the app "feedback" is like in your photo, no name/icon.
so is true for the oreo update is better do a phone reset, or strange things will happen, lol
Here's a nagging Android riddle I'd like to understand just out of curiosity, as opposed to researching an 'issue' that needs to be resolved. We all have better things to do (laundry, pull weeds, floss) than to make a case out of this post.
I'll ask anyway.
In my graphic the shortcut on the left shows normal behavior from the Settings widget in Oreo. The shortcut on the right, however, just showed up on the home screen out of nowhere. I'm clueless about how it got there and why it has color. Is anybody familiar with this?

I think it's a spyware from mobile-tracker-free.com . Coz I used it before and it comes as the name of WiFi in the settings to avoid attention of the user.

It's not spyware. But mystery solved. The peculiar green shortcut is an Oreo feature.
In my case it showed up by accident. Here's how it's done on purpose:
Long-press the Settings app icon until a pop-up box appears with a short list of widget items that can be dragged to the home screen. In my case there are only 3 options -- battery, data usage and wi-fi.
There are similar effects by long-pressing other apps like Gmail and Messages.
