Anyone know of an app that monitors individual apps net connect? I use 3g Watchdog but would like to know what apps are using the net and how much?
thanks

I've noticed my Android phone is gobbling data a lot faster than my Blackberry ever did. I'd like to know what's eating it as well.
I know the Blackberry is a lesser experience, but I've burned through half of my data cap in a week.
I've now resorted to just disabling data unless I need to use it, but it would be nice to know if there is one app, or a few apps that are chewing through it that I don't need to be running.
"Phone Usage" is what you should be looking for in android market! Droidwall is another app that will allow you to explicitly enable/disable certain apps from accessing data on your phone!
Try spare parts, there's a battery management option that'll show you data usage, gps usage, partial wake lock and cpu usage. if it shows a UID in place of the app you just need a app identifier to tell you what that uid is.
Biggest thing I found using it was dolphin browser had a huge data leak even after closing it through exit causing massive battery loss on my phone

Droidwall requires root access though. I am trying Phone Usage now next to Network Monitor (which does not monitor seperate apps) cause I am wondering if Network Monitor catches everything (Provider says I am using more...)

Ugh..I meant to "quote" you and accidently "thanked" you. So..thanks?
Anyways, I have PhoneUsage, which is useful for showing how the data is spread across your phone, and shows the top apps. However, I don't think it shows individual apps..only the top hogs.
3g watchdog PRO does monitor individual apps also. This is one of the extra features on the pro version

You can also try ZDBox.

Thanks for all the replies. Now to track down the source of my issues.

this might be useful. Although it's more on applications that are not closed properly or running on its own..
You can identify the problem by looking at your CPU usage.. if you have application showing and the cpu is high. probably, the problem lies on the program.

Hello. I am also looking for an app that monitors individual installed app network usage (3G or WiFi) in a real time sense (graphically or text based).
There are several utilities that monitor apps individually (3g Watchdog, Network Counter, NetworkTraffic Stats, OS Monitor) but nothing I've found offers a real time showing of individual apps the way that some apps show real time network usage of the OS.
Some show hourly tracking and some will refresh and show slight changes, but for real time tracking purposes (what the heck is consistently sending data *right now*), these are not as helpful.
Some background: for the past few days, my Vibrant would only get 3-4 hours of uptime, way down from the 8-12 I'm used to. I then noticed that my 3G connectivity was always on in both directions and I wanted to know exactly which app(s) was constantly transmitting. With the hourly monitoring, I had to wait, and I might have missed it. With the constant refreshing utility, the changes were so miniscule and not sorted by actively transmitting apps that it was counter productive to search that way.
Again, I'm not looking for one of the many utilities than do real time monitoring of the total network traffic, but real time network monitoring of the individual apps.
If anyone knows of any app that can do this, assistance would be really appreciated.
Thank you!
I know about '3g watchdog' - which monitors data usage.
but I need an app which monitor time used. Here (thailand) I can buy hours of data usage time, and not by data usage data size.
any1 know an app which does this? I use juicedefender to auto turn off/on data usage, but need an app which sums upp the time for when edge/3g has been on.
I have searched for an app to monitor my Wifi Usage with a breakdown by SSID - For example I want to be able to see SSID-Home 1.2gb --- SSID-Work 500mb ------ SSID-Hotspot 500mb... All apps I have checked out just show a total Wifi usage with app breakdown.. including the built in data usage setting... Anybody know of an app that has this functionality?

The paid version of Mobile Counter has the functionality to track the usage of one SSID. The video on the free version shows that field functional but after installing it the field was grayed out. I am waiting for my freedompop device to arrive before downloading the trial version to make sure it works properly.
Traffic Monitor / RadioOpt let you track a Home SSID and a Work SSID but they show the results as percentage and not data so you would need to do the math, I suppose, unless I missed something in the settings.
There was a developer on this site that tweaked the code of NetCounter to get the desired results but if it turned into an available app then I have not seen it.

I ended up going with Mobile Counter Pro - for the same reason - I picked up freedompop. My cycle just started again -however, the numbers seem right on - Mobile Counter Pro shows - 31.06MB and Freedompop shows 30.96MB, it works for one SSID, the only one I have limits on..

That is good to hear, and probably what I will end up doing unless something better shows up while I am waiting. (I was hoping for something that shows the chosen Wifi usage in the widget, plus the addition of data & wifi on/off buttons would make it a nice compact widget bundle)
Hi
Is there a way to monitor my WiFi/3g trafic by say a day?
In the Data usage menu I can only see whole months as periods...
Tell me if there is an option to enable this or suggest me an app for that please.
Gotta debug some battery issues...
Also is it me or with lollipop they removed total uptime from the battery usage app?

Hello Guys,
This is my second app, And thanks for the feedback on the first app.
This app is about Internet Connectivity - Feel free to take a look at it and inform me what you think about it
Konnekt - Get it From Google Play
This app is mainly 3 sections, and there are some features I think to implement in future versions.
WiFi
Already Implemented
WiFi Signal Strength - View the Signal Strength in real-time
WiFi info - view router information and connected network interface information
WiFi Settings - Load router gateway easily to tweak its settings
Features Think to include in future releases
Connected Devices - See a list of devices connected to the browser
Channel Strength- See the channel with best signal strength and connect to it
Speed Test
Speed test with Ookla speed test, Have integrated Ookla speed test. Which gives far better accuracy than using any other server to do the speed test.
Data Usage Tracking
This can be helpful for people who have limited data internet connection. Even for others can use this to see which apps kill your bandwidth and slow down your work
Already Implemented
Data Usage Tracking
For every time frame like Today, Last 24 hours, This Week, Last 7 days and This Month, Last 30 days
Track WiFi and Mobile data usage separately (Even in different sims if supported)
Separately see Download Upload and Total data usage
If you did not get the idea from the above specification try this - If you need to know what amount of data has been uploaded from your SIM 1 internet connection in the last 7 days, you can track that with this.
Apps Data Usage - Track the data usage of every app according to the above-mentioned criteria
And you can Uninstall which are using too much data.
Features Think to include in future releases
Limit Data Usage - Daily limits for data usage and notify when exceeding the limit
Konnekt - Get it now from Play Store
Please let me know what you think about any aspect of the app, and which features should I implement first and what else should I add to this
