Hi, I'm looking for an app that gives me a simple widget showing how many SMS I've sent in let's say the last 30 days, and how many minutes I called.
I found SMS counter, but nothing that shows me everything.
Anyone knows something like this?
Try DroidStats
Traffic Counter Extended - Free application on the market
- Cell (In/Out)
- Wifi (In/Out)
- Call (In/Out)
- SMS (In/Out)
It also have a widget.
Using Stats Free.
Incoming and outgoing calls and texts.
2G / 3G / 4G data and wi-fi data.
All counters can be reset automatically on a chosen date.
Thanks a lot, I will try all of them but right now the DroidStats "Pro" seems to be exactly what I wanted, very beautiful widgets and an accurate costs counter.
Using my phone today it seems the time that some of my apps reference has gotten screwed up. The clock/date in the taskbar is correct as is the time/date in settings, but for example two text messages were listed under 1/1/2014, and my 3G Watchdog app restarted it's data counter thinking that another months data cycle had started. Whats strange is that only two text messages showed up under 1/1/2014...the following messages showed up under the current (i.e. correct) date of 11/27/13 without me doing anything. I had to clear the data of the 3G Watchdog app to get it to count from the correct date, unfortunately loosing my past monthly records which kind of pisses me off but whatever.
Any idea why this happened? Thinking back I remember seeing a weird glitch in monthly records within 3G Watchdog on my old Droid Bionic...
Has anyone noticed their AOSP messaging app not giving a notification for picture messages. I'm currently running KOT49H【4.4.2】Google Edition rom for Verizon and I don't receive multimedia notifications anymore. I came from Hyperdrive 13 which was a TW based rom and I received all notifications, meaning it would tell me when I had texts and pictures texts that I needed to download. I usually leave data turned off to save battery. I rely on the notification(s) to tell me when to enable data to receive picture texts. I receive all plain text notifications as usual on this rom without data enabled. I have searched all settings nested within the messaging app and have come up short. Does anyone have any ideas on this?

Probably has something to do with all the stuff that those devs had to change to get Verizon data working on the ROM. Not easy to port an international Google edition ROM to Verizon.
Just leave your data on, why are you worrying about battery? One of the most unique things about this phone is the removable battery, spend $12 on a spare battery from somebody like Anker then you won't have to think about battery life, just swap them out.

Hey everybody,
Does anyone know how to disable annoying popup messages related to Mobil Data while connected to WIFI? Here's the background; I used to be with Verizon and was one of the treasured unlimited data participants until they recently decided to once again screw their most loyal customers with increases on costs. I left VZW and went to Straight Talk utilizing the 4G LTE Verizon network. Before under VZW, I don't remember my wife's phone showing a message that she could not browse the internet, send email, etc, unless connected to data with the exception of using WIFI. Well since switching over to ST, I've created Tasker Profiles which simulate Juice Defender and turn off mobile data as soon as it is connected to our home WIFI. About every two minutes it popups a messages saying the following:
Title Splash:
Mobile data
Message Content:
Unless you use WI-FI, you will no linger be able to use the Internet, Email or other apps that require a data connection.
Turn off the mobile data connection?
I've attached a screenshot of the message.
How can I disable to popup? I'm sure there's a way to do if someone can point me in the right direction.... Thanks
I should also clarify that the popup returns regardless if you select Okay or Cancel. I even enable Data and still returns.
I found this thread which apparently the issue seems to be related to apps that turn off data or turn it on using automation.

I'm having an ongoing problem communicating via text with more than one recipient at one time. I am running Stock (rooted Oreo), have tried numerous texting apps (Message, Pulse, Signal, etc) If I copy two people, it sometimes takes forever to send out the text. And quite often when one of the recipients replies back, I do not see it or it arrives much much later, or they squirt onto my phone all at once. Am on T-Mo and use wifi calling. Any ideas? I use my phone for work, so solid communication is required with my tech out in the field.
I have used Messages (Google's replacement for the stock messaging app) and Hangouts for multiple-person texting for years with no issues. I didn't see you mentioned these, so I wanted to mention it. I'm on stock rooted VS996 on TotalWireless.
As mentioned, I have used Messages, Pulse, Signal , they all seem to suffer from this same issue. If I go in settings, and disable combine group texts, the individual ones get to recipients, but then that defeats the purpose of using multiple texts. The two people I most often text with use Apple phones, unsure if that is a factor. very frustrating when trying to work from home & run service department. I thought Google closed Hangouts?

Not yet. I use it every day, as does my wife.
Ahh, crapple... that's likely the problem. Crapple loves to do non-standard crap, and that may be issue you're facing. Their incompetence makes SMS group texting impossible (because they suck at using standards).
That said, apparently you may be able to force MMS on your Android, to work around their idiocy: https://joyofandroid.com/group-messaging-android/

Indeed Crapple. Checked out the link, but it seems that I already have these settings in place. (Messages and Pulse are the two I switch between) Trying Textra now. Thank you for posting this
Do your MMS work? I haven't had a video gif work in Messages in a year!
I can text gifs. I support our two service techs out in the field, and we text each other all day. So I text them both some info, or a question to answer or whatever. It may take up to a minute for the app to show my text has been sent. Then I don't hear anything back from either guy. So I retext hey did you see my earlier text? Then they will reply, yes, and I answered you. But I do not have any response. Then later on, suddenly it get several texts squirt thru all at once, minutes or hours later. They both have iPhones. Here at home, wifi calling is the only way for me to use my phone as we have horrible signal at the house.
Yes, MMS works for me in Messages just fine. I also get them on my work phone (Moto Z3) from iPhone users, too. No issues whatsoever...

I wonder what the heck is wrong with my service? Anyone on Verizon with the US99820h not getting MMS to animate? Mine literally just come in as blurry pictures and tapping it does nothing.
@christoophat: Do you have Battery Saver or Data Saver enabled? If so, turn them off.
But if you have poor cell signal at home (I am familiar with that predicament) then SMS (including MMS) will always be spotty.
You can get a Google Voice number and use that instead: It all goes through data (WiFi or Mobile data) for calls as well as messages. I'd do that in your case.
You'll have to give your coworkers the Google Voice number instead of your current mobile number. Behind the scenes you can (optionally) route incoming and/or outgoing calls through your mobile number instead of using data. But certainly at home just let it use data.
In the old days, you'd use the Hangouts app to do Google Voice messaging and calls. I still do. But today you're probably better off using the Google Voice app, which has everything built in.
Edit: I should have mentioned that you can also port your current number to Google Voice if you don't want to give your coworkers a different number. But that will terminate your current mobile carrier account. And it can sometimes take a day or two to go through.

Battery saver is always off. I set up a Google Voice number to try out with my techs to see if that does any better. Many thanks for your response. I am lucky to get one bar here at home (null zone)

A great benefit of Google Voice is that you can make/receive calls and send/receive messages on any number of devices, including right inside Gmail on your computer. I write most messages this way because I prefer a real keyboard and selecting/editing with a mouse. I also do a fair number of calls this way. My PC has a wired connection which means lower latency than WiFi.
We also have Ring Central phone app, but it's used mostly for client only communication, so I can keep personal phone number separate. But you can't do multiple texts to anyone outside Groups (people who also have RC on their phones), so that is limiting.
Hah, I didn't realize the Google Voice is a separate app now that I will use to text. Will try this out & see if it does a better job. Thanks again
