hi ive installed 3g watch dog but it dosent count my data trafic is there any other tools for tracking your data useage on 3g or do i have to buy the app?
3G watchdog and similar apps does unfortunately not work with the Galaxy Tab 10.1 as noted on the product page for 3G watchdog:
* [May 5, 2011] Large inaccuracy reported on Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1v and 10.1 with Honeycomb - this problem seems to affect other data counting applications as well (so it's probably caused by the tablet itself).

Hello, sorry for my bad english. I love my I love my SGS2 and my new Playbook too, but...
like I say in another post I have this troublePlaybook connected to Wi-fi but unable to browse)
I have my Playbook and I get wifi and browse without issues when I tether with my iPhone 4, public and private hotspots, my router, etc
I have my Samsung Galaxy s2 and with the hotspot function I tether without issues netbooks, pcs, ipad, iphone, tablets with android. all these get wifi and browse perfect. But Playbook not
My playbook is connected to my wifi hotspot (Samsung Galaxy S2) with full bars, but I am not able to us any applications involving internet or browse at all. When I browse it says "Error: Couldn't reslove host name". When load a page freeze at 33%, get white and not more. After a minutes the error...
I try rename my SGS2 to short, long, alfanumeric, etc. with and without passwords, reset both devices, etc. always the same error. I try with other android phones (but froyos not gingerbread) and works perfect like hotspots for my playbook
not troubles Playbook and others devices
not troubles SGS2 and others devices
It's specific incompatibility betwen sgs2 and playbook?
Please, what can I do?
Thanks to all
Alejandro
Perhaps every one knows about the functions of wifi direct and how useful it is, on galaxy s2 it is very simple to connect the device to others with the same capability of wifi direct as you can find it in settings menu,
how about galaxy tab 10.1? although I could not find anything in the menu but still have the question if it is possible to use the device on wifi direct??
on some websites I saw wi-fi direct as a spec of galaxy tab 10.1, but could not find a clue on how to use it
I tried the Wifi Direct with my SGS2 and GT10 but it didnt work
On some website i read that Samsungs Implementation of WI-FI Direct is not like it should be because you can only connect with devices that have this feature.
According to the Specifications from the Wi-Fi Alliance only one device needs to have the Wifi Direct feature. EDIT: And this may be the reason why the GT10 doesnt have it

on the official galaxy tab specs site it says (wifi direct ) http://www.samsung.com/global/microsite/galaxytab/10.1/spec.html
where the F is this feature in our tab
Missing WiFi direct on Gtab 10.1
I was just noticing that, too. I have the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus with Android v3.2 on it, and there's an extra option in the "Wireless and networks" settings area for "WiFi Direct settings" but on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 with Android v3.2 that option is not present. I'm betting the functionality is present but it's just missing the required setup function. I noticed, also, that WiFi Direct is listed on the 10.1's specs. Unfortunately, no firmware-update love appears to be forthcoming from Samsung for the original Tab 10.1.
Look,
There is the Galaxy Tab 7.0, which I Would think, doesn´t have this options,
but now you have the galaxy tab 7.0 plus, with more features than the earlier model,....
So If there would be a galaxy tab 10.1 plus, the feature is guaranteed there included...., or a firmware update/upgrade comes..... and incude it....
greets
Since the new GS3 advertises their new S-Beam feature which uses WiFi Direct heavily, perhaps it would be to their benefit to make sure as many Samsung products have Wifi Direct enabled.
I wonder if NFC must be present in order for that to work entirely or not.
I have succeeded in getting a Wi-Fi Direct connection between two HC 3.2 10.1's (both P7510). Much good as that may be. I was not running any specialised software but could connect cleanly.
Disadvantage: after disconnect from Direct Wi-Fi the machine kept on scanning for Wi-Fi connections, even though the 'normal' Wi-Fi was switched off. A reboot fixed this.
hey folks,
I've been trying around to get a tool working which does count my internet stats.
I've already tried the following ones:
- netcounter
- 3g watchdog
- stats free
- traffic monitor
My device is a galaxy tab 10.1 p7500 (3G) latest stock firmware. rooted + cwm (no custom rom). Does someone else has a similar problem? It's counting Wifi data but not mobile ones. it's not displayed as zero but something like 68KB and I watched videos (connected to mobile data, yes! ) and run varios other applications with internet connection required such as mail, facebook, etc.
Thanks for your support
hey guys,
nobody else having this problem? It wouldn't matter that much at the moment but my internet flat is limited to 300MB HSDPA, afterwards GPRS/EDGE ... so I would like to have an overview about how much data I have used.
Would appreciate if anybody could help me out and let me know if I should test some stuff.
thx a lot
I have a unlimited plan, so i have not tried using counters, but i will try it for you.
EDIT: I tried 3G Watchdog and you are right, it doesn't work. So it seems that data counters are not compatible.
I have another problem, on my device it seems that the signal strength display in asu is stuck at 4. DBm seems to show the correct value but asu shows always 4. Can you please check what yours shows?
thanks for your reply.
same for me. dBm changes but asu shows always '4'.
on my DHD asu is changing nearly everytime. same for the galaxy tab 7" with android 2.3.3 of a colleague, asu is changing and also counters are working.
have you tried installing and using netcounter or something similar on your device?

Thanks for the info, i'm glad to hear that it's not a problem with my tab (or at least i'm not the only one with this problem). Hope it can be fixed with a future software update.
No i haven't tried any other data counter apps, but if 3g watchdog doesn't work, i'm sure none will work. This is either a problem with Honeycomb or Samsung modifications. I'm going to try and search and find out if any other people with other HC tablets have had such problems.
I have the verizon model and used 3g watchdog but now switched over to verizons app. Both worked for me and are pretty accurate when compared to my bill. Just sucks i dont have unlimited.
Tried 3gwatchdog and it was not counting... will email the dev.

that would be awesome to have a fix for that!
also found a german blog entry yesterday that it's a known problem but there is no fix yet
if someone can read german:

I searced a little, it seems these apps work on Xoom, so it can't be a Honeycomb problem. I found people are having problems only with European GT10.1 and GT10.1V, so it seems to be Samsung specific problem.
In 3G watchdog there is the option in settings to "Use pre-Froyo traffic counting interface"

already tried that, will not help!
would be really nice to have a fix for that because even there may be users which do not have a mobile data limit ... there may be some that have one
same here. cell data not counting. using traffic counter pro. maybe the incorrect interface have been selected. couldnt fi d the correct one yet.
Same here. Let me know if anyone has a option. It is not fun browsing in the dark (not knowing where my data plan is)
Will a custom ROM solve this maybe?

Seo fixed it over in the Galaxy Tab 10.1 V section.
To bad that he has the V version and not the normal.. he is a great developer..

try data counter widget. Works great for me
same problem here with 3g monitoring on my P7510
Is there any app to monitor the data traffic on the Galaxy Tab 8.9 using Hooneycomb?
Apparently none work due to a problem in the kernel used by Samsung.
There is a way to flash the kernel on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and fix this, but I've never found a solution for the 8.9.
Can anyone shed me some light?
Thanks!
I use traffic monitor on my GS II SR and my 8.9.
Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus (Toro).
Hello, everyone. Anybody familiar with a build that focuses on making the Galaxy Nexus a wi-fi only device? Something that would maybe have Hangouts all ready to be used as the only Phone feature. Cellular disabled, an easily (or automatically) managed public wi-fi hotspot connector, Maps ready to cache your maps, etc.. You know...just no cellular service at all.
