Identify Program Using Data Connection? - General Questions and Answers

Is there a native or third party method of identifying the program that is using the data connection? I would like to see it in real time much as I can view the running processes. Using a HTC Touch Pro, stock Alltel.
Thank you,
Tony

Best I can think of is SPB Wireless Monitor which tracks the data for individual programs.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Doesn't look like I can see realtime usage but perhaps. I guess I need to check out the trial.
Thanks again,
T.

Can I install this together with the OLD GPRS Monitor and have them both working on the same device?

Thanks. I think I prefer the old version.
What I don't like about the new version is they took the small icon that can be placed on the Top Bar and just used the Today screen. On the old version, I have those 2 options at my disposal. Unless I am wrong and just totally missed out on how to show that little icon. I don't like using too many items on my today screen, so I'd rather have the small icon than a huge line stating my expenses on the today screen.

I installed the old one after installing the new one and they both work.
I liked having the task bar icon. I also needed the bluetooth monitoring as my x7501 connects via bluetooth from my other phone.

WOW... I just got a response from SPB support and they said SPB Wireless Monitor will uninstall SPB GPRS Monitor if installed.
So basically install SPB Wireless Monitor first then SPB GPRS Monitor and it will both work is what you did. I will give it a try on my Universal.
Update:
It is true that you can install both if the above suggestion were to be followed, but SPB GPRS Monitor does not work and it will also mess-up SPB Wireless Monitor. So the rule of thumb, PICK ONE.
Help

How SPB Wireless works and how to do it
I need to do an application that measure the data traffic from it, like last version of SBP Wireless Monitor (SPB WM), because I need to know how much Internet the user make from my application and for personal use for billing evaluation. The SPB make reports from application, but I need to automate this reports and don't want pay a license of SPB WM for each device, if is possible that I embeed it in my application.
But, how to do it? There are an API? This data could be read from Registry? Anybody know?

[REQ] bandwidth monitor for hd2 ?

i'm looking for a simple app that keeps track of uploaded/doawnloaded data over mij mobile data connection, as i have a 2GB data limit, and my mobile provider doesn't offer any means of telling how much of that has been used up so far.
any suggestions?
i think to be honest that you will struggle to use 2gb in a month i have 500mb and the most i ahve got to is 328mb as long as it is all used on your phone
hey, i have torrents, youtube, and a shared internetconnection on it i might need to watch out
This is a great app: SPB Wireless Monitor: US$20 (Monitors every type of connection/app)
You can find some other free apps if you look around.
thanks that spb app is exactly what im looking for, think i'll buy
it's worth the money...I've used it for ages and it's the best I've found
free apps
Hi guys,
I have been looking around for something like this. I have googled but could not find a free app, maybe I am putting in the wrong words.
Do you know any free one?
Thanks

I'm using the program RUNsat, you can find it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=613381
There's a new version.
Not tried these, but maybe of help:
this (paid) lets you view OS maps on the move:
http://www.memory-map.co.uk/pda_mobile.htm
this (free) lets you get speed, altitude, distance, etc. and data for post analysis using PC:
http://www.1800pocketpc.com/2010/04/28/gps-sport-tracker-1-3-0-free-gps-app-for-windows-mobile.html
Let us know what you find useful as I'd be interested in what's good for UK hiking too.

i use memory map both for off road driving and for hiking. because os maps are used then not only can you see tracks etc. but you can work out heights and elevations as contour lines are used.
in addition, you can plan a route in advance and put this as an overlay on your map. you can then follow this realtime using your gps. also, the route you are actually taking draws a track which you can save and keep.
by using tweaks you can rotate the screen as you wish.
because the memory map prog is driven from your pc you only have to download a section of a whole map therefore saving memory card space. installed prog runs fine from the memory card.

MemoryMap +1
memory map for navigation.
Runsat for logging routes, (also known as Navmi).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=613381
depends on what you need..
Runsat can download openstreetmap/opencyclemap tiles, which depending on where you're heading can include quite a lot of data including paths and contours.. but obviously memory map has much more data on it ..
I use both quite a lot, professionally and otherwise, and contribute to openstreetmap/opencyclemap so I tend to like using that data whenever I can

[Q] Any simple/no-frills gps tracker which sends data to own website?

Hi,
Does anyone know if there's any GPS Tracking software which can send httppost data (or other form of data transfer) to a custom website?
I want it to send the regular gps data, such as Date/Time, Longitude, Latitude, Height, Speed and Heading (or whatever is available).
I can write my own web software in php/mysql - but I haven't got a clue about how to write my own android app.
I don't want any fancy maps displayed, I just want the software to acquire gps fix, and send it at user set intervals (example every 1 minute) to my own custom web application.
I had previously been using software on my old Nokia 5800 which sent it to a 3rd party server and I could import the data via xml (see here: http://madstu.net/tracker/ ) but I haven't found any such solutions for Android yet.
Any help would be appreciated
Stu.
You could probably do this very simply with one service and an activity to set the interval and some status. You should look at some android tutorials and you can probably do it in less than an hour.
thanks, yes this is what I've been learning. I created a hello world app by following a tutorial, but I'm afraid that might just be my limit!

You can use Run.gps for your job.
You can customize it to send data to custom server. In section 6.2.1 in the manual explains how you do it.
Regards
Thanks, I've been trying this since this morning and it seems to work on and off, I will continue to trial it though until I find something better/simpler
Never heard of run.gps, but I do this exact thing in Tasker. I am a long time user of TrackMe, a Windows Mobile tracking client, however I didn't really use the client that much but I've made extensive use out of the web server that went along with it. Data goes into it from several possible sources, and I have several things that extra data out of it (Google Earth to visualize, even geotagging photographs, etc).
I have a long outstanding "offline mode" that's missing from its functionality, ie: you don't want to upload, or it fails to upload so it stores the data for later and uploads it when it can. I really want to put this in some day, but it's semi-complicated and honestly editing complex tasks on my phone is tedious Otherwise it's fully functional and for me works great. Let me know if you're interested.
Yes I'd be very interested in this, please.
Like you said, the "offline mode" would be awesome too, I'd previously used Viewranger on my old Nokia 5800 which had this offline option and worked well.
Cheers

Are you using the TrackMe web server? Otherwise, what I have won't be of all that much use.

No, But I have my own server. How is the data sent? I can customise my web software to receive whichever variables are sent.

Fairly straightforward, API calls.. Not really documented anywhere I'm aware of, but here's an example.. But it could be easier to adapt the Tasker profile rather than your softwae?
/trackme/requests.php?a=upload&u=user&p=password&lat=dd.ddddddd&long=dd.ddddddd&do=2011-02-06%2009:10:00&tn=Tripname_Date&sp=0.0&alt=279.0&ang=0&db=8&comments=Optional%20Comments&bs=98
So while it's not difficult, I'd say if you already have a POST/GET type API there, it's probably easier to adapt the Tasker profiles. If you're still interested, I'll export and sanitize and put 'em here.
Yeah I could just edit to match mine. I'm very interested in your sanitized profile(s) though. I've been playing with it and can't get it to work.
Thanks
After some more playing I've done it
Thanks for letting me know about this. Works well and I've got to start automatically when I open up the awesome MM Tracker app

[APP] Tasker: how to set default application?

Hi, I hope I'm posting in the right forum here!
Several people have said that the following is possible, but nobody knows how to actually do it!
I want to make tasker switch my default browser whenever I have mobile data enabled. The task would be pretty similar to the "switch input method" function, but I can't figure out how to do this.
Is it possible?

May I bump this?
I'm searching everywhere for a hint of whether my task is possible:
I have a plan that consists of 200 minutes, and unlimited calling to my 'Fav 10'.. I also have a data cap of 1Gig. I would like for Tasker to keep track of my minutes used (rounding up as my carrier does not bill by the second), and once it reaches a defined count (200), it'd switch my default phone dialer over to Skype for ONLY the phone numbers that are not part of my Favourite Ten (or Dell Voice, however Google Voice is not available in Canada at the moment).
Skype rates are 3cents/minute, compared to 45cents for every extra minute on my plan; it is possible to $3+tac for call forwarding, but it doesn't seem to let me exclude callers from the feature. Also, I'm trying to live within certain budgets, as I am a student.
As well, I would like to be presented with an option box, to use either my native phone dialer or Skype, if I am approaching my 1gb cap (even a MB over will cost me a large chunk of money).
So... I'm searching and continuously searching... but I ask for anyone's help who may have.
Thanks a lot everyone..
Ryan
I think it's doable, at least some of it, but you would need someone who knows a lot about the logic syntaxes in Tasker and their limitations, which I unfortunately don't.

Thanks for the insight.
After only having Tasker for a few days, just by what I wrote above I can definitely see it as maybe possible.
But, as like you, I don't know enough of this to even begin, I'm afraid.
I'll keep an eye on this thread and bump it every so often until I give up, or until I'm told to stop

This is not an exact "set default application", but you can try this. Make the task with shortcut (and call it myBrowser). This task will run a different apps depending on the conditions (WiFi, Mobile Data, etc.).

Prerequisites:
1. Root access
2. Tasker installed
It depends on the Action/Mime Type that you want to change but for opening an url in a non-default browser this works - I tested it.
Create new task: Misc>Send Intent
Action: android.intent.action.VIEW
Cat: None
Mime blank
Data: "your url"
Extra blank
Package: com.android.browser or com.webbrowserminiapp or "the package of whatever browser you want to use"
Class blank
Target: Activity
The rest is peace of cake.
