Does anyone know working app on freex10 beta by Zdzichu? I want to check my network traffic done by certain apps, but programs which I tested display only overall usage. Because of that, I can't find application which literally eats my 3g data :/

So like the title says i need to track data usage per app. My data use for today was alarmingly high and i need to find the culprit. Is there any app that does this¿
bump please

An app like 3g watchdog with extra listing for each app would be perfect
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.

Hello,
We're the developers behind Clarus Battery and Clarus Signal
What is it?
Clarus Places is an app to quickly save location information to the default android address book.
We're releasing a beta version to XDA before we release to the Android Market. While this is almost feature and code complete and we have tested extensively, we'd appreciate information on any bugs and / or suggestions ([email protected]).
What is incomplete?
The Help button is disabled.
Permissions:
- Coarse Location - For location
- Fine Location - For location
- Internet Access - For maps and Flurry
- System Tools - For start at boot for notification bar icon
Flurry:
We use Flurry to track downloads and exceptions. We only use the Internet Access permission to determine coarse location (Country). Also Flurry provides information on phone make/ model/ firmware.
Finally, we do not have access to the actual data. We only see aggregated data that Flurry makes available.
Others:
Clarus Places always will be free and with no ads.
Update
We just released the final version of the app in the market.

works fine via wifi. will try it on 3G tomorrow.
Nice idea
First test was fine - using first network only and then GPS.
But the icon in the notification bar looks far too redmondish for my taste
Will give this a try on 3G today.
I have been wondering for some time now, and I'm hoping the people who view this thread would probably have experience in this field and know the answer. I have probably 8 or 10 different apps that in someway incorporate the use of Google maps (satellite view). They all have the option the cache map data, so I don't keep re-downloading often viewed map areas. Do Google map caches, go to a single cache area, to be used by all programs...or am I saving the same data 10 times over on my phone, separately for each app? It seems like my memory is filling up faster than it should be, and I'm thinking this is the culprit??
thanks
I activated the AT&T $15 for 250MB plan on my Tab. I've got the AT&T widget that displays exactly how much data I've used so far, and it goes fast.
Are there any good apps for managing data usage people recommend?
In particular, I like to sync things like Google Reader/GMail/Google Voice. However, it'd be great if there were a way to set non-essentials like Google Reader to sync only on wifi, while having GMail and Google Voice continue to sync whether on cellular data or wifi.
Due to the Android OS architecture you cannot set up I/O resource access on a per-application basis unless the app has the feature built in. That means, you can not control from an app how other apps access resources.
This happens because all apps run in their own containers that can access the system through the permission system. This helps isolate apps and prevent other apps from interfering with their environment. Access is one-way: from the app to the system. The system or other apps cannot enter another app environment.
Thus, as long as Google Reader does not provide the feature to sync only over WIFI, then you cannot block it in any other way except disabling your data.

after switching to opera mini, my bandwidth consumption declined by about 30%

Perfect suggestion turruso!
@manekineko: if you also browse the Net a lot using your device, you might give Opera a chance. Using the Opera Turbo feature will help you save a lot on your plan because they compress pages before transferring them to your phone.
Perhaps you are looking for something like traffic counter (from the market) it monitors cell, wifi, call and SMS and let you set limits to those.
Also calculate billing and monitors the installed apps data in and out

I'm using the official AT&T traffic monitor for now, and I've been happy enough with it, so I'm mainly looking for ways to keep my data usage low when out and about.
I know what you want! (maybe) Its called DroidWall. Its a firewall controlling which apps and services uses what type of connection (3g or wifi). Ive been using it, and drastically reduced consumption of data plan by more than half.

That's a great suggestion! Only thing that keeps it from being completely perfect is it'd be nice if there were a way I could only prevent background data from an app on 3G, but allow it still for when I'm directly opening the app myself, like when I'm browsing Google Reader.

I'll second Opera with Opera Turbo. If I'm on wifi I use Dolphin HD and when I'm not I use Opera. It's cut down on my data use more than I expected.
when i saw the SKyrocket in the AT&T store i swear i saw an app or widget that stated your data usage in a bar graph of some type.
all i see right now on my phone is the My AT&T app which lets me login to my account and see the DATA tab but thats it.
am i incorrect in thinking i saw a widget of some sort that showed your data usage and a pre defined cap you could put for warnings?

3G watchdog. I have been using it and it's fairly accurate to atts site when I check.
I use an app called Traffic Monitor that I would recommend, it's free on the market. Has a nice widget that differentiates wifi usage vs data usage, and the app will breakdown what apps use bandwidth and how much.

+1 its a must have for me.
I use my data manager, works well for me and it has a nice widget and stays in the notification pull down.

I know what you are talking about I think it. I have it on my tab 8.9. I can find out the exact name and apk when I get home. It is linked to your att account and has day's left on billing cycle and data used.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
well maybe someone downloaded one of those apps onto the skyrocket phone i saw on display since no one has mentioend an official AT&T widget.
thanks guys and i tried traffic monitor and it was great and detailed BUT i really like the Data manager interface more. its simple and you can actually input your billing date and how much data you have used up until now which is great.
love the widget as well.
Hello fellas,
as the title says, i'm enabling the data saver feature for ALL the apps (both installed and system apps) with no exception .. yet, every now and then the screen lock data usage notification mentions that an amount of mobile data has been used by some apps (facebook, whatsapp, system apps ..)
is this a common bug on the honor 6x/emui5 or is there something else i'm missing here ??
My model number : BLN-L21
Build number : BLN-L21C432B365
Emui version : 5.0.1
Hi, i keep data saver always on for habit and i didn't noticed a traffic of mobile data while it is activated. But i know also that those damned social apps are a true pain for phones. I don't have neither one so i can't confirm that, but maybe someone else who has Facebook or others could provide a feedback about. Have you took in consideration the idea of using socials via web browser? When i still had my Facebook account 2 years ago, i used to do everything by my browser because in this way, i was able to avoid useless and heavyweight, crappy client apps

Hi and thank you for your feedback,
Well the thing is, not only social media apps that consume background data but many other apps including games and system apps, maybe not with same amount but they still do, and what mostly concerned about is how come such a bug can even occur in our phone ..
if you are using honor 6x with thae latest emui i suggest you turn on the "locked screen data usage reminder" from (settings -» mobile data -» then the settings icon up right) and see if you are gonna get leaked data ..
Then we can know for sure from where the problem is coming from
I'm looking forward to reading your feedback ..
I tested by disabling or restricting the same and still saw the traffic as bytes on status bar.
But when data turned off, didn't see any bytes consumed. Evem when opened Facebook, it shows 34-35KB data transfer rate but not updated or refreshed means data is not consume and it was only trying to send the data (upload speed) but none received (download data).
