This or this
The best one by far is 3g watchdog.

Why?
Don't have the exact figures to hand, but according to 3G watchdog there was a tiny, tiny difference from the data use on my last bill. I assume this will differ between different carriers, but..
How accurate do you need to be? And why?l

They want per app usage for some reason.
I have tried over 10 different apps 3g watchdog included and not one of them showed the exact usage, some were worse than others, 3g watchdog didn't fare particularly well to be honest, the best one as in calculated the closest to what i had used was a data usage app part of the ZD Box app but again this didn't calculate what the exact usuage was, the only way i can calculate is when i send a text to my provider and they respond via text tells me exactly how much ive used, im hoping the ICS data usage does the job but i wont hold my breath, from the end of this month ill be getting 1GB data per month so not too bad i should be able to track, better than paying for data on a daily basis.
BTW Highly recommended just in general

I dont really get how a data usage app could not be correct, its a basic thing to count the amount of data going though an interface in linux based OS's.
Just weird.
In ics there is an app in the settings for that

You are right. But some telcos count data in "blocks" and part of rounded up. Where (for example) 3g watchdog count every single bit with no rounding.

Since our tbolts get way better battery life while on a wifi. Is there anyway to make an app to trick it into thinking it is sending and recieving wifi signal. And then disbale it when you really want to eb on wifi.
I'm sure there is alot more to it but its just a thought
You can't make it think it's running on wifi or running on the mobile network.

Just to explain a little, the reason for battery life is that on WiFi you have a data stream. Like a hose, when you bounce it around a lot the stream breaks, but reconnects. That is 3g/4g. It is more or less like you checking the hose to male sure you have a solid stream. If you didn't move, you would check less. There is also the matter of different hoses and different stream settings, but well stick to basics. The only way to trick it would reduce likelyhood of a solid stream. This would do more harm than good.

You might want to look at: Menu ---> Settings --> Wireless & Networks --> Mobile Networks --> Enable Always-On Mobile Data (uncheck this). Unchecking this turns off 3g/4g after 5 (or 15?) minutes of non-use. This is a HUGE battery saver if your phone has a lot of standby time (like mine does). You can also set WiFi to turn off after awhile if not in use.
Honestly it was meant as a question i was not sure if it had to do with the setting itself or not. It was a theory.
I really do not understand why people can not give a straight answer yes or no with an explanation instead they would rather flex internet muscles...
Please close this thread
Sit, i believe you do not understand how the radio works, for you i would just suggest putting it into airplane mode when you aren't using the phone. Easy peasy battery saver.
Also thank you for making me lol
NOE!!!

Lmfao E P I C haha this had me rollin
Disregard this post....
I read somewhere that the cap was 5gb, but I'm not sure.
I just feel like I'm using a crap ton of data, with 4g I really can't resist downloading multiple albums in their entirety, as well as watch a crap ton of youtube videos when I get bored at work (which happens quite often...).
5G was stated cap in ToS, they said they would throttle those that went above.
This seems to be current ToS.
They say that they throttle those users in the top 5 percent of usage (top 5% who use the most data), but so far I have not had any issues.
I have used more than 10GB+ (but less than 16gb) the past 2 billing cycles, and not had any issues. No tethering, or video streaming, honest. I'm sure you'll find other users here who use like 30gb, or 50gb per month on their 4g smartphones.
I've crushed 8.8GB and 6.5GB on my last 2 billing cycles using 4G between phone and mobile hotspot. If Verizon is throttling me down, I sure can't tell and still have great speeds!!

This is the correct answer.
Feedhead: did you read the page you linked?
From the above linked tos
" Verizon Wireless strives to provide customers the best experience when using our network, a shared resource among tens of millions of customers. To help achieve this, if you use an extraordinary amount of data and fall within the top 5% of Verizon Wireless data users we may reduce your data throughput speeds periodically for the remainder of your then current and immediately following billing cycle to ensure high quality network performance for other users at locations and times of peak demand. Our proactive management of the Verizon Wireless network is designed to ensure that the remaining 95% of data customers aren't negatively affected by the inordinate data consumption of just a few users."

This is about where I've been for the last 2 billing cycles. No throttling yet

There is a "my Verizon" app available. If your rooted (possibly unrooted also, not sure though) you will need to search around here to find a modified version to work on your phone.

I am on ICS XXLPQ rooted and since the beginning of the week, my phone has turned itself off during the night and thus my alarm doesn't go off. I've noticed some weird battery activity so I PowerDefrosted all my frozen apps to see if it fixes the issue.
I did accidentally flash a stock ICS over my Three branded one. Could this be the issue? Cos right now I'm considering a revert to GB as ICS is nothing but problems so far.
If someone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Here's the odd activity in picture form;

well looking at your wake time it looks like your phone isn't going into sleep mode much overnight.
Check the apps list and see what app is using the most awake time.
I'm currently using a three branded ICS which I manually removed all the bloat from and my battery life is ok.
No ideas. The only thing using the most power is my display, but that's normal. Is there an app or a way to find out in more detail at all?
Cheers.
And my bloat is cleared, but only the ones I definitely know are safe.

Many people have encountered massive battery drains and random reboots on Sammy ICS.
Id suggest downgrading to GB or switching to some custom ICS rom as clearly sammy did a ver ****ty job.
If you want to moniter stuff try Ram manager pro....It keeps ur apps in control and id suggest juice defender also.
If it happens tonight I'm definitely downgrading tomorrow. I'm not impressed with ICS at all with all its teething problems. Its like going from XP to Vista.
Its weird because it only happens if the phone is left completely unattended for a few hours. During the day, there's no irregular spikes at all. That's what I cannot understand

Well you have something which awakes your phone and screen. It might be an app which tries/fails to sync, whatever. Get Better Battery Stats and see what's causing it, you're the only one who can help you.

I just noticed yesterday I am now getting the 4g LTE icon lit up on my phone in my area(very pleasant surprise) and the speeds don't seem that great though. I've traveled through LTE areas before and the speeds were 4x to 8x this fast. Could they still be tweaking it? Thanks for any input.

Yeah that's not fast, but it's not slow either. I get an average of 20mbps download on lte. Bit it varies from time of day, to objects in the way, and take into consideration how many people are using the tower you're on.
That's normal speed when they are first turning up and testing the frequencies give it a week or two and see if it improves

They must be testing it. I go from LTE to 4g to Edge in just a few seconds without even moving. They're definitely doing something because I was getting LTE service inside my workpkace where I previously got no signal at all. Plus, I was showing LTE at times today and couldn't load anything web based:screwy: I hope it does get faster.

The 3 times I have been in an area when they are doing tower upgrades it does exactly what you just described. It will go faster once they finish it.
AT&T turned on LTE here a few months ago and it's no faster than HSPA was, not even per tower... like at work I would see 12mbit down, at home 4mbit.. It hasn't changed. I've been told latency and other things are better but I never paid attention to them in the past.
Can someone explain when and why this came about? I can't find out much on Google other then they started tested it on the revolution phone in 2012. I didn't know anything about this until today while on the phone with a rep discussing switching to another phone and he asked why I wanted to leave my s4. I said due to bad battery life. Then he started telling how I had done everything in settings and such to save battery but went on to tell me exactly when I took my phone off the charger, how much bay percent I had left at that very moment, how many 3rd party apps I had installed and even told me which ones where running in the background at that very moment. I maybe behind on the time but he didn't ask to access my phone like they do when you remote access your computer. Can someone catch me up on this cause I don't to much care for as the article stated that any rep would be able to access your phone as if it was in there hand.

No its not just the s4. The only thing I could find was that article from March of 2012 and they where hiding it in a ota on the LG revolution phone that didn't sell well to test it out. Now here it is 2014 and they can tell me everything on my phone while I am talking to them in that same phone. Here's the article from then. It's named something else but doesn't mean they couldn't name it something we can't find.
