Data tracking - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Are there any good apps on the market for tracking data usage. I'm on gb now, and for some reason data manager doesn't have that feature anymore.

(Q) How do I turn data on and off for certain apps

On tasker I tried to set a profile so my data would turn on when i would open certain apps like weather and internet but it doesn't work

I'm not familiar with tasker, but I know with data intensive apps they usually give you option such as how the app updates itself. Options such as manual, or update every 1... 2... 4... or 6 hours. Why don't see if they offer you those settings?
Sorry if I'm not much help.

I shut all my apps to update only when I want them to yet I see my phone gathering data all the time

It could be because it is backing up stuff for your Google account.

Try Juice Defender Ultimate. It's paid but it would do what you're looking for; you can have data off and then configure apps that are allowed to use data.

if you install avast antivirus, it has a firewall that allows you to control if your apps can conect or not via data or via wifi

Individual app monitor

Is there an app like cpu spy but that will show which individual apps are eating up battery? Something is causing my media android process to continue nonstop

Better Battery Stats is probably what you're looking for.

I'm having network location locator running from Google maps. It did the same thing last night. I haven't run maps. Would Google now have anything to do with this? Any thoughts?

Yes. For Google Now to do its magic, it needs to periodically check your current location. It uses Maps for this. There's an option in the Maps settings where you can disable the updating of your location automatically if you desire, but then Now won't be able to alert you for traffic conditions, local weather, bus stop info, nearby sports info, etc. Although you can set most of those things manually.

[Q] Data usage, 'apps removed '

I noticed that in the data usage in android there is a post 'apps removed' (apps verwijderd, in the screenshot), it is 66 mb this month.
Does someone know why this uses so much data? Or why it even uses data at all...
That of been from an app you had installed before then removed

Yes but why does it use mobile data? I only removed it...
Does the usage still keep going up. If not then its the data usage from before the app removed
