Are There Any Apps For The Following?

An app to show data usage?
or
An app to show text / call usage
Thanks

I remember that Singtel has a app for data usage. but may it not work on others.
call usage you can find it at settings>about phone>software info.

I believe this is iPhone only?

SPB Wireless Monitor is an excellent application for keeping track of data usage of almost any sort.
Resco Contact Manager is also great to keep track of both call usage and text messages sent and received in a given time, usually the current month.

SPB Wireless Monitor is on v3.1.0
Resco Contact Manager is on V2, I think. The app only says "2nd edition".

Monitor data usage per app

Anyone know of an app that will monitor data usage on an app by app basis? I know there are heaps that will monitor total data use, but I'm looking for something to show the data used by apps individually.

I use 3g watchdog. it has a widget with it and can stay in your notification bar

Have you found the tool?
I also search a tool that can show what app used how much data.
Actually, i have something eating a lot of data, and even uploads a lot and i don't know what it is (40 to 50 MB per day are used on my data plan only because of that).

I don't want to necro a thread, but just in case people are interested in the answer:
I found 2 apps on the market that can do this. TrafficInfo and TrafficStats.

Some thing is eating my data and i dont know what it is
Im logged out of all social networking even gmail and Gtalk, but something still eats up to 30MB per day, by the time i wake up in the morning almost 10MB alrady used up.

You should give My Data Manager Free a shot. It keeps track of mobile,wifi and roaming separately. It shows data usage per app and displays usage by bar graph or pie chart.

there are a few but u have to be on 2.2 or higher first...cnt wait for X10 to get GB

Sorry for the bad recommendation. I don't think there is anything that will do what you need on 2.1. Why are waiting for gb why don't you update to froyo in the meantime?

Google maps running in the background

I like to use Google latitude so I have it enabled but I have it set manual so that it doesn't update my location automatically. But for some reason maps is running in the background and using gps. Even with latitude enabled, maps is not supposed to use gps in the background. What could be causing maps to use gps in the background?
Using better battery stats, SignalCollector.ScannerThread is what is activating maps. Anyone know what that is?

I use Autostarts to prevent stuff from running on its own. The way I have it set up, literally nothing runs on my phone without my say so. Keeps the RAM free and helps with battery life.

Looks like a great program btw. Just got it but i see multiple instances of things started. Eg. I see mail 4 times. How do i know which one to stop?
Tried it and disabled maps, but after reboot still comes back

I've never been able to stop maps. Damn thing is always running.

I don't mind if it is open and just sitting being idle. What I care about is it using gps while it is in the background when it shouldn't be for any reason

Maps being always on is bugging me too. When I look at battery usage I almost always see something similar to the Screen using 43% and Maps using 25% of the battery with everything else only 2%-10%. Holy hell! Why the heck is Maps eating up a quarter of my battery life?

So either be annoyed one way or annoyed another? You'd think the phone would kill the Maps app since it's not even being used yet it's using a lot of battery. I don't remember my Captivate constantly running the Maps app unless I actually opened it.
I wonder if it's the weather/clock widget on the home screen. You'd think that would only periodically check GPS location for the weather. And you'd also think that it was possible to get location without using Maps.

I need to do bit research before I can answer your question in depth. But one quick solution you can you "tasker" to configure when to use maps

Actually if you open a map app then only it will consume battery , you can close the app later. If you using navigation like app best is use "backitude " it will consume less battery then navigation

It can, and does (get location without Maps). AFAIK, GPS isn't used to update that location, its based on info from cell network and WiFi network.

I'm on an AT&T Galaxy S3, but am having the same issue. Maps is always using 10-15% of my battery. BBS reports SignalCollector.ScannerThread as the top wakelock. When I look at my battery I see repeated use of the GPS when I haven't actually initialized it.
Anyways, the suggestions to turn off GPS or use tasker to automate the process seem like bandaids. It would be nice to understand first what the problem or 'feature' actually is.
I'm fairly new to android, but I'm frustrated that I can't restrict apps from location services.
Also to clarify, I don't use Lattitude and attempted to turn off all location based services.

Hi,
You should try to run google maps, go to its cache settings and clear the "map tile cache". That fixed my issue of maps always running in the background. Mine wasn't using GPS, I've set it to only detect my location when I am connected to a wireless network.
Hope it helps.

Let's not reactivate threads that have been dead for 3 months...

I've also witnessed a huge increase in battery consumption with the latest version(s), about half the power is consumed in Maps. Killing it doesn't last, it's launched again in background.
After a few tests, this seems to do the trick (with Maps 6.14.1 on JB 4.1.2):
In Settings / Location settings, uncheck "Report from this device".
Make also sure to disable this stupid Google Now gadget (a real battery killer, not to mention the privacy issues - I'm not keen on providing Google with my private life data, who knows to what purpose they're collecting that!).

Why not? People are told not to create new threads, and search, but if they search and find a thread that relates to their issue they are told not to 'reactivate' a dead thread.
So in order for LePunk to keep you happy he is not to create a new thread, but to search for any past threads related to his subject. Once he finds a related thread he must not DARE post there as it will 'reactivate' a dead thread. So how was LePunk supposed to post his very helpful information? Get over yourself.
I am thankful for LePunks post in a supposed dead thread as it helped with an issue I was having.
Also, notice that LePunk has one and only post. He went out of his way to join XDA because he felt he had some information that may be helpful to someone and the response he gets is you crying. He has not posted since. Great way to introduce a new member to the forums!

Having the same issue myself. This shouldn't be the case even when location services are enabled.

you reactivated a dead with nothing to say about the issue, but i have no problems with reactivating dead threads with good input.
i purchased autostarts myself it is a good app, i rarely use it but it will let you control every aspect of apps starting. it loads everything at start so just wait for it to finish, i should install it more often to control maps but i flash roms too often to remember.

Kaseya agent is not a network monitoring tool per se. You will not be able to disable it without uninstalling or your administrator knowing about it.
All I can suggest at this point is to either keep your network traffic clean and suitable for work or to take your concerns forward with your manager.

ah is thats so? so like wont it be like monitoring our data usage you know... the most computer with the next work usage? btw have you tried it?

I know the software pretty well. The agent can do many things and it CAN monitor network usage so that reports can be run to show the top consumers - it all depends what your admin has configured the agent to do.

Hey there,
If using API 21 or higher, you can use the UsageStatsManager, which can tell you how much time each app has spent in the foreground.

what about the older API's ?

what if someone is using phone which is lesser than lolipop , there we will get these stats or not?

No, you won't be able to see the stats.
For older APIs you could use getRunningTasks in ActivityManager, but it's not nearly as nice. You would basically have to compute the usage stats yourself. The first app in the list returned by this method should be the app currently in the foreground. So you could call this method fairly frequently and measure how much time each app spends in the foreground.

thanks a lot Kolejnik for guiding me.
