Hi, this is my first post, ive searched and searched for an app the can give me a data usage per app, tried 3g watchdog pro hoping maybe it would still work on my streak, but it didn't lol. Coz i do get around 3-4 mb of usage a day out of nowhere, doesn't bother me much, but i just want to figure what drains it.
I did change a lot of update settings.
So is there any other apps that would work.
SPB wireless monitor for example? i wanna make sure before i spend $10 on it?
thanks in advance
Take look at Network Counter or Network Usage
i use trafficstats, love it
Hello, I hope someone here can help me with my problem, since like a month ago I noticed my battery wasn't lasting at all... even worse than before.
SO i began to investigate and noticed my awake time was the same as my Up time. After searching online I found spare parts. (I am a noob, lol to put it bluntly, RUNNING STOCK)
It let me know that Tune Wiki was keeping my phone awake the whole time.
Since its a app i wasnt able to uninstall i simply uninstalled the update... and that did the trick.
It worked up until last night...
when i updated to GingerBread... Which permanently gave me the updated TuneWiki.
Now i looked into the fact that spare parts doesnt work with GB so i installed BetterBatteryStats (which gives me the battery history like SpareParts)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
Now this app tells me the same thing, that TuneWiki is the app keeping my phone awake.
since this is not a widespread problem im assuming another app i have installed is interfering with tunewiki making it bahave oddly.
Is there anything i could do aside from resetting to factory? (since GB is pulled) Again i am a huge noob, and running stock, and dont plan to root at all. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Doing a factory reset won't get rid of gingerbread.
I got my Note three days ago and I'm at 600Mb data usage.
Of course I've been setting it up but decided to look at the usage.
All the big Mb listings are "Sent"
They all look like this
03/27 08:28 PM pta Internet/MEdia Net Sent 128291KB
That particular one was right when I got the phone.
Last night there was one at 11:33pm for 24mB
I was asleep.....but had the phone charging so Data was turned on....
Anything 'received' is small. So I don't understand why apps arent showing up....
I checked mail,etc and there is nothing that warrants a 24Mb upload that I can tell.
Any ideas? How could I find out within my phone?
Thanks
One of your gapps could have updated or the yellow pages app. Tgats what happened to me i had mine for 3 days as well
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
That's pretty scary - especially w/ the throttling cap looming! If you find out what is going on, please share.
The data usage report doesn't happen to be in a different time-zone, does it? (11:33p actually being your 9:33p or something)
Ok just uninstalled yellow pages.
Even if the time is off I haven't sent anything that big.
Actually nothing but texts, text emails and maybe one pic.
That 126mb is ridiculous. I can understand some syncing at first startup but that much????
I would also expect a lot more as 'receive' because i had to download all my apps.
I know last night I downloaded one of the s pen apps that was 30mb and that doesn't show up.
Does 'sent' really mean 'receive' as most of us would perceive?
But that was many hours before that date stamp. BTW the texts I got match up with the times posted so it's not off.
The only thing 'good' about this is they put me on this month's cycle. So I have 3gb til sunday
Hence the reason I downloaded that 30mb app through LTE (which by the way showed no status, it was just bam! ----installing! LOVE IT)
The reason I got to looking was I was curious about how much data speedtest.net uses each time. Attached is the one from this morning (Beautiful!)
But it never showed up on my data usage.....
8o lucky haha

I went ahead and called....
It seems they aren't really sure about these things.
It took awhile and they still seem a bit foggy on how this works.
PTA is supposedly a generic input for LTE data usage.
I had to google that to find out, not the tech support person.
I asked why it says 'sent' and why it did it when I was asleep.
After talking to the manager, the best answer they gave me was that each 'session' will compile the data then once it's over send it up.
So 'sent' means what I downloaded...go figure.
I still thought it was excessive despite downloading apps etc.
I can't get back on my VZW account (they waste no time kicking you off) but I had checked and I was only using 2Gb/month consistently.
I downloaded a data tracker app and then downloaded a 30mb app from the market. It recorded that just fine.
I use Dolphin Browser HD and went to www.androidcentral.com which has all sorts of graphics. I have the user set to 'desktop' so it's the full version webpage, just like i had it on my tbolt. That page was 3Mb!! So I opened the stock browser and did the same thing....3Mb....
If browsing the internet chews this much I'm screwed. I think my phone might be measuring data strangely or I would have seen massive usage on VZW. I went back to check because I wanted to know if it was 20Gb instead of 2Gb but that's highly unlikely.
My next step is to have a friend who has the tbolt on VZW and LTE to do the same thing and see if it records 3Mb.
I don't want to be a slave to watching my data consumption......
If anyone that uses LTE could check their data usage it would be good to see if you get PTA as a line item with some high hits....
Similar situation. I got the Note just over a month ago. While on my Evo3D and Evo 4G, I never went over 2GB, even though I watched tons of youtube in HQ, tethered, and surfed a lot of internet. My first month with AT&T, I almost hit the 3GB cap within the first 2 weeks with pretty much the same useage(actually probably less useage). Not sure if I have a rogue app somewhere.
I had a friend on Tmobile 4G (sensation) do the same thing and his 1.5Mb to my 3Mb. I also had VZW LTE (tbolt) do the same and his was about 3Mb.
Now that's not a very good test actually. I guess I need to find a web page with an exact Mb size.
After downloading the data usage app I can see the main hogs. I watched a youtube video through Dolphin and it jumped 40Mb....
Just browsing through the market will gobble some up and of course downloading apps. The apps seem 1 for 1 meaning its the same size. I don't know if there is something else when streaming data or browsing data.
Anroid OS + others is also a main chunk
I was happy to see my email and texting apps don't use diddly squat....
I took a screenshot of the data use. this is just this afternoon and while I was working. The 'Web' is the default browser loading one page....
Basically, I should use wifi for downloading apps and watching videos....sucks.
I never worried about it on my Tbolt and was grandfathered unlimited but for whatever reason it didn't chew that kind of data up.
The whole reason I started looking was to see how much data the speedtest uses. Now I know. Each test is 19mb.so I guess I wont do those any more.....basically the 3gb plan means 100mb a day....
Do you guys send /receive mms at all? I think that counts but not sure
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA App
Well tracking usage from 1pm on I used 100Mb with my internet browser.
It just seems excessive.....I'm really wondering if there is an LTE calculation in there....
Just to come to XDA straight to the NOTE main forum, then this subforum and then to this thread is 1.5Mb
I like to constantly poke in to my favorite websites throughout the day. Now this is going to make me hesitant and that ruins the experience.
I'll defintely only download files and apps via wifi or computer.
Opera mini compresses the data on their side before it gets to the phone, reducing data consumption on your plan.
I think it's Opera mini...you have to read the descriptions of their two browsers to make sure.
My phone has been a bit flaky lately. Recently upgraded to CM 10.2, Because I lost everything before, I really don't have many apps installed, but my phone now constantly says I'm out of space. When I use DiskUsage to look at it, it shows 572 Mb in applications 1344 in System data (leaving me with barely anything). I've moved most of the apps that I can over, so I'm wondering what other troubleshooting options I have to figure out what is using my space. I'm planning on upgrading to another phone before long but was hoping to make this one last another month or two. Just odd since prior to this I had it loaded up with apps and never ran into this. is CM10.2 that much bigger than 9 and that is causing my problem?
So in case anyone was interested. I found out my problem (found out others having issues on a CM forum). My \data\log directory had several hundred megs of logs in it. Once cleared, I had nearly 500 megs free. Just something to keep an eye out for. I know it won't permanently fix whatever the issue is, but at least my phone is up and working again.
Hello!
I have an LG G4 and just got a notice that we're low on mobile data... We mainly use wifi so this piqued my interest enough to dog into my data usage. Wouldn't be the first time I accidentally turned off wifi or something.
I see that 'uninstalled apps' were using over 5 GB this billing period over mobile and over 26 GB over wifi! Going back this seems to be consistent for at least the last three cycles. The data usage is steady thoroughout the month, no spikes. Also, I don't use any apps that would chew through this much data, not even close. I use my phone for work emails, news reading and a hour of YouTube here and there (which is ALWAYS on wifi).
I thought maybe I uninstalled something that I totally forgot about this month, but the fact that it's ocntued for at least 3 months and the usage is so steady it really worries me.
I've looked everywhere I can think of and I can't seem to find anyone else with this problem... I'm hoping the brains at XDA forums can shed some light.
Please help!
