I made a bet with a friend to see who has more hours in an app. I'm think I might lose so i want to add about 100 hours to my usage data. Is this possible? I don't have root but I'm willing to root my phone if it's necessary..

1) Rename pim.vol and then soft reset. then delete the renamed pim.vol..unless your contacts are on sim.
2) not sure there is a way to reset call duration with native app. Some third party apps, track specific time frames..but you do know that the call duration times will not match your bill, right? Bills usually round up for each call.. Some companies round up to the next minute, some to next 30 second or 15 second mark..so it really won't match anyway
thanks eagle,
i will try yr first solution. as for the second issue, i am getting a package rate for 1000 minutes. that is the reason i want to have a rough idea how many allowance is left before getting charged for excess usage.

You didn't mention which provider your using, but most provider's have an online lookup for your current and past usage which may be more relevant.
i do check online billing. but as handy check, i still want to figure out how to reset that call duration monthly.
BTW, yr first tip works well. thx again.

This one was dealt with qiute a few times in the Uni forum. Basically, the answer is (a) it's very difficult and (b) noone should show you how to do it. Although you want it for legitimate purposes, most people don't (i.e. passing a used phone off as new).
The simple answer is to take a note of the stats every month or check online if your provider allows it.
How To Track Bandwidth Usage On My Android Phone ???
Most existing applications shows the total used (in/out).
I'd like to show the use by each application.
I want to find the application that consumes more bandwidth from my internet.
SpareParts has an option to view network usage by app, but it's the only aspect of SpareParts that has never worked for me. This on an Hero with MCR 3.2, so maybe this aspect need a more recent Android version.
AFAIK that would require one to intercept the packets, and you need to be root to do that.
I have root & afaicr SpareParts has never asked to be given root access.
I'm monitoring my data usage on my phone because I have al limited data subscription. Now I see Android System Using alot of data (background) when the phone is in standby. I dunno what for, when I press to look at the stats it just says Android System. I don't backup, only sync my contacts, gmail and agenda. Is there someting I'm overlooking that uses data through the android system. Its frustrating because its eating my data away without the knowledge on what or which program is using.
Maybe someone can inform me what to do? Used 90 MB in the last five days only on Android System.
SOLVED: It was a app called Dumpert.nl (dutch app for funny movies) everytime I played a movie it was loading as Android System. I noticed it when Dumpert wasn't showing any big data usage while using 3G.

restrict background data in data usage in setting
I have similar problem, but it is still within my data plan limit, so I just ignore it!
What I hate are these general terms in the data monitor app. Android system! Please google try to break it down to something more detailed for a normal user!
I also have quite a lot of data used by the play store, although I never download or update apps except on WIFI! I'm not sure how I got this data used!

Restricting the background data isn't possible with Android-System. It's bugging the hell out of me. I come from iPhone and if this isn't going to be sorted out soon. I will get a iPhone because this is not normal. I want to be the one who is using data and not the system alone. Google needs te be more specific on this subject. Nobody knows what "Android-System is doing. All the information is blocked.
Hey guys,
My carrier made some updates to the service today and one of the biggest differences is that some apps won't count towards mobile traffic. I have been using the data limiter/counter built in Android for quite some time now and it's really close to what my carrier accounts so I rely on it to not go over the data cap.
Is there any way to stop apps such as Spotify to count towards the amount of mobile data on the Android counter?
I'm sorry if it's not clear enough but this is the way I am able to explain it better. In case you don't understand what I want, just tell me and I'll try explaining it better.
Thanks!
Don't think you can on the stock data usage settings
I guess I'll get back to 3G Watchdog. Sucks to have yet another app running on the background but I guess that's the only solution.
Thanks!
Hi Guys,
I am trying to get Android not to track data usage of an specif app, but the only option I could found was to shut down app data usage at all.
But I dont want that, I just want that android do not consider this app's data usage in the total count.
This happens because my carrier offers me some free data usage on certain apps (whatsapp and deezer), so I dont want them to be on the systems data usage statistics...
Is it possible?
ps: I know I can probably download an data control app to get this like I want, but I wanted to keep using Android native data control.
Thank very much!
