Having a lil discussion over on FB about tracking data usage. I have an unlimited data plan but would still like to know how much I am actually using. And before you ask, the my account app does not show data usage and it doesn't show on the website. They both track minutes and messages but not data. Also I tried the #932# trick I just found out about but it says "This service is not available for your account type". Any help would be appreciated!
Have you tried 3G Watchdog? It's in the market.
you could use the my account app from tmobile it will tell u how much data u have used this bill cycle
I see a lot of complaints about Watchdog killing the battery. My main concern is that lots of other people, but not all, can see this information online or through the myaccount app, why can't I?

Try NORTON UTILITY free from Market.

awesome. exactly what i was looking for. lets see how it treats my battery! looks like a pretty neat app to have anyway. thanks!
Duh
If you're a t-mobile customer just install the myaccount app. You can keep track of the data that you've used during the current billing cycle. The best thing is that it isn't constantly running in the background like any of the other data use apps. Hope that helps.

Duh. If you read the op I've tried the the my account app and it doesn't show data usage for me. I even stated that a second time.
Traffic Counter, it has a breakdown of cell data, wifi, call time, sms. Even which apps are using data and how much.

- First off who is your carrier? If in fact you do have Tmobile it is odd that your app doesn't perform properly. I would suggest try contacting the dev or Tmobile themselves about your issue.
- Can you provide a screenshot of your My Account app screen? I've *attached* mine and it provides all info as it should. (As you can see I'm very close to hitting all my limits).
- If you are using another carrier have you tried searching for their app? As I know AT&T has one that looks exactly the same as Tmobile's and provides the same info for their customers.
Either way a simple search in the market for "data" or "data counter" or something similar should provide you with multiple options *attached screenshot* I have personally used NetCounter by Cyril Jaquier in the past with great results. *attached screenshot* Good luck!

Yes I do have Tmobile and my myaccount app looks just like yours without the data part at the bottom. Using the Norton utilities as someone else suggested at the moment and works for what I'm looking for but just may try your suggestion as well.

If you have T-Mobile, just log onto their website, select your specific account line (not the family overall) and it will have a data usage tab.

WOW!!! Thats crazy Thanks for posting the pic it shows people what ur seeing. Which is friggin nutz! I'd prob take that to my local Tmobile store and show them and see whats up with that. Cuz that don't look right at all. I'd question all the info, I mean look how many mins you got left! LOL, is that your correct count? If so can i get some of your mins.
Oh, well at least there are other counters in the market, but still thats all bucked up!lol. Good luck!
*EDIT* I wonder, if you get throttled?? If so I'd use that as a base of complaint. I mean if they do throttle you then that app had better work or how can you keep track so you dont hit the cap?? I have to imagine that if you tether the crap out of it for the next week you won't get throttled. If you do I'd complain and get free stuff. Seriously.
Mine is the same way. I've never been throttled, either.
Correction: I just checked, and it does now show my usage. Sure what it's worth, I recently moved up to a Post paid account, which must have triggered the data usage to track.

On mytmobile.com, under manage acct, review bill you can see usage for closed cycles but not current cycles if unlimited. I know you can because i have unlimited and i can see usage. If you cant then you are not looking in right place. The myacct app wont have it.

How to use the 3g hotspot app for free
I looked and looked and didnt find this anywhere except for eclair and just got done doing mine a little bit ago as the steps are different now.
You used to be able to select dial up mode in wireless settings but now if you have the new froyo leak. Now you dial **usbui and change usb mode to modem. Plug in to pc fire up qpst add port once you see phone select start clients/service programming. next click read from phone, password should be typed in already as 000000. scroll over to m.ip and select the active profile, should be profile 0 and change tethered nai to [email protected] the phone will reboot and your good to go start tethering with apmode. Some may choose to reenter the usb modem settings and change it back to pda(the first step) but i do not see it as neccessary. If this has been posted by someone else already feel free to delete and if in wrong catagory feel free to move.
Just remember these steps are for FROYO leak anly not for eclair users although they may work for that also just dont have an eclair phone to test on.
I have done this for a long time and never encoured any charges although i am not liable for any problems you may come across, ive never had any. As long as your not seeing the verizon webpage when you access web via your phone then your set.
Any questions feel free to ask but i may just tell you to google it.

Why can't that file just be removed from the ROM? Would it cause the rom to just not work at all?
Forgive me for probably not using the correct terminology but does the mobile hotspot app handle tethering the same as say the wifi tether app? I just wonder if one sets off the flag to verizon where the other wouldn't.

It will break wifi if you remove the module. It ties into dhd.ko, the wifi driver.
Play nice everybody
Just got off the phone with Verizon. Been using the 3g hotspots for several days now tethered more then a gig so and I called and just asked if I was being billed for the hotspots app and they said there is nothing on my account about it that I've never had it and I would never be charged for it unless I actually signed up by changing my plan. So I'm gonna keep using mine. If anything changes I will let everyone know but I personally believe it is safe to use. I think that moniters for when you hit the 5 gig mark on your data then they start to throttle it. But this is just my opinion. But I think its a good one.;-)
Not to mention I've been using it for a pretty long while on eclair before froyo.
In fact I'm tethering right now to my gtab.
I have a couple problems with that.
First, if you admitted it, your account was likely flagged.
Second, VZW reps change their stories each time you call.
The monitor wasn't in place on eclair.

If it's any consolation, VZW doesn't have a flagging system, at least not one the frontline reps can access, so mentioning it on a call won't flag you. And the reason the stories change each time you call is because you might get a guy that's adept at what he does on the first call, then the next call you might get an outsourced moron from AFNI, and the next time get a person taking their first week of calls....
When you call, they are going to the features list, and looking for the feature called "Mobile Broadband Hotspot 2GB $20". Upon seeing it is not there, that is what they tell you.
What you NEED is a tech rep (like myself) to go into the back-side of the billing system or the switch, and check your records there. The switch will tell me if something is 'off' about your data, like if a rate limit has been added. The billing system will tell me if there are DUN (dial up networking) connections being reported. But, in all likelihood, the groups doing any kind of monitoring are **NOT** the folks taking your calls. They work in the switches or corporate, and their goings-on are a mystery to us that do take your calls. So, they could be minutely tracking each byte and I, as a tenured Tech rep, wouldn't have the foggiest idea what they were doing.
Just to share with you how 'in the loop' we in the call centers are kept, I had an engineer call me last week complaining that his test device couldn't authenticate phone calls. I asked for the number, and it pulls up a device listed as "Test Device 7". I asked for the make/model of the phone, and he tells me, "I can't tell you that, it's unreleased and classified". I then tell him, without even a brand, I can't create a new authentication key and give him steps to program it into the phone. He still wouldn't tell me anything, so I told him to seek help with the person that gave him the top secret phone and hope they can do my job too.
if the op wants to disregard the warnings and tether...then by all means tether...but theres a reason monitoring was put into froyo...and i cant imagine it was for our benefit...so meh

I didnt admit it i told them a family member had my phone and when i got it back the hotspot app was on my homescreen and wasnt for sure what they did with it. Besides even if they do charge me which i doubt they will its only gonna be 30 bucks. I can handle that to let everyone else know what really happens. But its just like people worryjng about sending back rooted phones with changes for warrenty replacements. I just wipe my numbers out and send it rooted boot animation changed everything even a custom rom and theme one time. They dont pay attention to the phones. They get them plug them in and flash them to stock. Just mt two cents. When i recieve my feb bill ill let you know whether or not i get charged anythjng for tethering.
i have just bought this for $15.. and i cant get it to work.. i can get the original shell BETA to work, but once i put the 3d v1.0 on my phone i cant get it to work, it force closes everytime i hit home button...im thinking it is my ROM

Hey, y'all, got an update...
First of all, I'm not one of the developers, and I'm not here to convince or argue with anyone regarding whether or not this App is worth $15. You all can figure that one out on your own...
• nonpafos contacted my via PM and offered to help; he's legit, and they use a tool hosted through their website to help log
• I can say this with 99% confidence: If you are getting the black screen and then quitting, you didn't get this through the Android Market. I know this, because I did the same thing. Whether through A*net, a friend, whatever, the APK you have is not the original. It has been modified, which leads me to:
• The *original* App checks for the Android Market purchase. It does it every time it boots, which is why buying this, backing it up, refunding it, and restoring it won't work. You can try it, but it won't work. I know this, because I did the same thing
• The App works if you purchase it legitimately. SPB support is also legitimate support, and replies quickly (at least during regular hours, AFAIK). They offered to refund me within 24 hours if I purchased the App through the Market. This was a necessary point in convincing me to try the App
• I support developers, and DO NOT support pirating. However, I will readily admit to using "alternate sources" for the purposes of testing an App before buying. You will very likely find that 15 minutes is not enough time to evaluate this App, but recognize that that is Google's limitation, not SPB's. My recommendation is to contact SPB and get an offer from them to refund within 24 hours. SPB/nonpafos: An awesome sign of good faith would be to publicly post that you will offer 24-hour test periods, but you may not want to
Again, whether or not this App is for you, especially at $15, is not the point of this post. However, I will at least support nonpafos and the rest of SPB for trying.

Do you trust AndroidLost? The whole thing seems a little fishy, and at least one user reported hearing camera shutter sounds (the kind that are made when you take a screenshot or front facing camera photo, a function available in AndroidLost) - this was shortly before the dev removed the sound making function when taking remote FFing stills.

Same thing just started happening with my Craigsnotifica app, none of the search results have any of the original text, but photos are still there. It's bummer too, because it appears that all development has stopped on this app. I tried some of the other CL search apps and nothing compares to this. It's the most efficient CL search app out there! if anyone finds out anything more about fixes or updates, please postany info you have.
Mine is doing the same thing starting yest. I think development stopped on this app when CL put the smack down on their API, and I suspect the text not pulling is CL tweaking the API. Sucks cause I had a whole job hunting system down pat, but at least it still pulls headlines, and then its just one more button to hit to load the original post webpage. Who knows how long that'll last.
Sucks that CL decides to kill all the good CL apps, without putting out one of their own, or that at least can do the things that we seem to love about this one. You would think its good for business.

Bummer. Craigsnotifica has been my favorite for years.

She's dead jim ug was working up to a few days ago for me any replacements?
There doesn't seem to be anything with notifications.
I am in the same boat as you guys. Really stinks as there is nothing even close to this one. Any suggestions would be great.
Craigsnotifica still does notifications. Then I switch to the app I posted earlier.
I'm glad someone posted this up... it began happening to me a couple of days ago while I was out and about. I was so puzzled I uninstalled and re-installed and set up and everything. I had a bad feeling something had changed behind the scenes at CL and that the app was no longer 100% compatible. It figures, and it was only a matter of time as all development had stopped for this app. This makes me really sad. At least for now I can still hit the web link to get to the page for each ad I want to see, but I'm not very hopeful as I've tried a number of different apps in the past and none have been as nice and as effective as this one.
Has anyone ever tried to contact the dev and see what's going on? His last Twitter update was back in July, and then just *poof*.
There is another app that does notifications. It's called c*Pro craigslist Client Droid. The free version lets you save one notification, and the pro ($1.99) lets you save multiple. I just purchased so I'm not entirely sure how good it it is... YMMV.

CPro is okay. I don't like that you have click on the arrow buttons to see results in other areas. I'm not sure how you do an OR or AND search as well.

Notifications aren't working in CLapp.
I guess we are out of luck in terms of something with the same simple functionality of CL notifications?
Okay so I have a very strange thing to report regarding Google Now:
My wife has the Galaxy S3 and I have the Note 2 on Verizon. My wife this week noticed that when opening Google Now the recent search history is displaying MY personal searches along with her own searches!
The phones are not connected in anyway at all and HER Google Now is displaying MY searches. I noticed it only occurs for searches that I am doing while out on the 4G LTE network, and is not picking up any of my local WIFI searches. I can be out 20 miles away from her and she will receive my mobile searches under the Google Now search history.
This is extremely odd and somewhat creepy at the same time. I have no connection to her phone via any accounts and everything is her own accounts.
What is this issue? Anyone familiar with it? Google is almost impossible to contact so I do not know what to do about it...
PS: I am rooted etc running Beans Build 14 and she is on complete stock no root S3 touchwiz.
Do you guys happen to have your browsers synced to chrome on your pc? My wife, and I share our search history through chrome. If you look in google now, it displays your search history from your browser as well. This could be it, though I am just taking a stab at it.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
Something similar is happening to me. I've done tests and found that my searches show on my wife's search history when using Chrome but NOT Google Now, and also does *not* show up on her search history when using my desktop version of Chrome. As her phone is the primary account holder, I wonder if Google hasn't decided that all Chrome searches from phones on our plan aren't hers, and putting them in her history.
EDIT:
OK, after performing some more tests, it has to be the Verizon account. I've completely logged out of my Google account both in the Chrome for phone and the general phone google account. I mean, I literally removed my Google account from the phone, and searches were still showing up in her history.

I've done tests and found that my searches show on my wife's search history when using Chrome but NOT Google Now, and also does *not* show up on her search history when using my desktop version of Chrome. As her phone is the primary account holder, I wonder if Google hasn't decided that all Chrome searches from phones on our plan aren't hers, and putting them in her history.
EDIT:
OK, after performing some more tests, it has to be the Verizon account. I've completely logged out of my Google account both in the Chrome for phone and the general phone google account. I mean, I literally removed my Google account from the phone, and searches were still showing up in her history.

I am not alone! Thanks for the reply!
You think it is Verizon doing this not Google? Either way it seems like a big breach in privacy that should be addressed. I have 5 phones attached to the family plan and I will be taking a look at another phone to see if it has it as well. I am the primary phone on the account so it may be be somehow related to that.
I agree it is definitely related to Chrome app browser. I forgot chrome is a separate entity from Google Now.
What do we do about it?

Well, I thought it was Google associating the Verizon account or something. But, turns out, it was definitely something local to the phone. This has been going on for a while for me, and I finally got tired of it, so I completely factory rest my phone. That finally cleared it up. However, I want to stress, I'm 100% sure I didn't have my wife's account logged into my phone. She's crazy about security and changes her password every couple months (last time was last week, and the issue has been going on longer than that, so it's literally impossible).
I will say, at some point in the past I did have her account on there when we needed to get access to her email for something. My current theory is that there was still a "ghost" of the account still on there somehow associated with Chrome. But really, I'm just grasping at straws. All I know is a factory reset fixed it.

The ghost file theory makes no sense / isn't plausible for my situation. I completely wipe and factory reset my phone at least once a month for ROM purposes. I have never have used her phone for any personal accounts or anything like that. She does not even have the Chrome app on her phone.
Something else is up with this. . .
Is it just me or does this seem like a somewhat serious issue?
Google Now search on another phone

So I am in the UK on GiffGaff which uses the O2 network. My wife and I both have Nexus 4s. When she searches on her phone it comes up in my google now but not in hers! The only link we have is that I ordered her phone from my Google account.
The phone itself was registered and has only ever been used with her account though. Could it be because we're on the same WiFi network?
I suppose a solution was never found?
This just started happening with me and my girlfriend. I have a nexus 4 and she has an iPhone 4s. I'm on T-Mobile, she's on att. My searches do not show up on her phone. And something she searched on her phone while stuck in traffic also showed up on my phone when I wasn't anywhere near her. Though I suppose it could've been some sort of WiFi sync when she got home. Anyone still trying to figure this out?

Okay so I have a very strange thing to report regarding Google Now:
My wife has the Galaxy S3 and I have the Note 2 on Verizon. My wife this week noticed that when opening Google Now the recent search history is displaying MY personal searches along with her own searches!
The phones are not connected in anyway at all and HER Google Now is displaying MY searches. I noticed it only occurs for searches that I am doing while out on the 4G LTE network, and is not picking up any of my local WIFI searches. I can be out 20 miles away from her and she will receive my mobile searches under the Google Now search history.
This is extremely odd and somewhat creepy at the same time. I have no connection to her phone via any accounts and everything is her own accounts.
What is this issue? Anyone familiar with it? Google is almost impossible to contact so I do not know what to do about it...
PS: I am rooted etc running Beans Build 14 and she is on complete stock no root S3 touchwiz.

Why dont you guys turn web history off? Go here: https://accounts.google.com/Login?continue=https://history.google.com/history/&hl=en
Then clear all your searches and turn it off then test your problem again.

Afraid not. She has a laptop, I have a laptop, the two never cross polinate.
I think I would have worked that out by now. I have never signed in on her laptop.
But, when she searches on her phone, it comes up in my google now.
Something I find with google now is it doesn't show searches from the phone's chrome browser as suggestions, just those from other devices. For some reason it thinks her phone is one of my devices. It doesn't think my phone is one of hers though?
So Mr WolfePack, now solve the case!
Did any of you guys even try what I mentioned above? The least you could do is reply back saying it doesnt work.

You mentioned me in your quote, but I'm not having their issue. I'm just curious to what it could be.

Your suggestion should solve it though, theoretically. If one of these guys ever tries it and responds.
