Hi,
Does anyone knows an app able to keep a log with date and time, for each app (system or not) that is using internet connection (both 3g and wifi)? Usually, all the monitoring apps I've found, keep track of the amount of traffic, and a per day total, but I need a more detailed monitor, something like "who is using my connection now" and "who was using my connection in the last 30 minutes".
In other words, does anyone have an idea about that app for monitoring and logging internet connections, in such a way to be able to know who was using data connection at every moment of time ?
Thank you,
3g watchdog is pretty decent I believe

Thank you, but 3g watchdog does not show the log in a timely manner, it does show only the amount of traffic for each app, not when (hourly or even better, hour and minutes).

Does anyone have there 3g mobile hotspot working?? Like it would work with the DX liberty, fission, and apex roms??? Or maybe one of the new roms has it working???
I've heard that wiring tether works, but not sure his to get it as they pulled it from the app market. Also barnacle should work, and that's on the market.

thanks guys will try it out
Depending on your patience, the native hotpot app works fine by turning it on, allowing your wireless device to connect to it, then toggling the radio on / off a few times from the phone settings menu accessed thru the dialer (*#*#4636#*#*). Pins the "paid" data pipeline to your normal 3g stream.

There was a thread about this is the fascinate forums...
Basically, the only way to prevent verizon to figure out that you are teathering is by using a kernel that blocks it.

Even then, if they want to really look there's a way they van tell on their end through packet timing or signatures or something.

I'm sure there is but this idea was kicked around for the fascinate before the qpst hack came out.

Worked for me. GF and I used it on her X2 (with no tether plan, data only) when the DSL was out for a few hours.

If they're doing packet inspection, you know how SLOW that would make their network, and how much resources that would take up? Wouldn't be worth it to them. They are most definitely not doing packet inspection. They could possibly suspect something if you have high data usage. But then again, I have high data usage all the time, cause of my job, I run a business, I'm constantly downloading things, sending and receiving text messages through GV and emails, plus I have Google Plus backup all my pics and videos to a private album online. I use able 10-15 GB a month.

I wasn't able to get that wireless tether app to work... or the barnacle thing. It says it's on and everything but I can't see a network being broadcasted, nothing shows up on my website that resembles a phone or open network.

Have you tried the radio toggle? This works for me with the native hotspot app. The packet info issue was something that a vzw tech on the fascinate forums said they COULD do to verify tethering if it was suspected. I was just trying to add that they do have ways to detect it based on what was shared by him. Whether it's practical for them isn't the issue, the point being that no tethering method is completely invisible.

Why do all Android devices constantly receive/send data traffic? Even though no app is requiring it for that moment.
During a one minute period the data traffic light light up at least once.

So guys, I lost my Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 inside my house somewhere and I cannot find it. I know the GPS is on and the device is on with little battery. Is there any way I can find it? My Google account is on it so is there anyway I can find it with GPS? BTW, I do not have any texting apps on it. Any help? Thanks

You should call on police, and tell them, you have got a drags, they will give you hard revision!! And you will get your desired sgp!!
Have you turned on wifi before you lost?

Use your router to locate him, there should be singals of all devices connected to the router, so, you can easily locate SGP5

You can't use GPS to find it considering the accuracy probably spans the entirety of your home. You may be able to locate it with wireless information from your router. I'd hurry though in the case that your battery drains quickly with WiFi always on.
Worst case, you'll come across it while cleaning or just retrace your steps to when you last had it.
Well guys, I found it using using the Plan B app from Lookout Security. It connected to my Google account and found where the location was in my house. Any suggestions on how I can be prepared next time? Like a backup GPS?

you can get a communicator like skype, parlingo etc. and if you lost again, you will be able to locate SGP with one call/massage to SGP.
you cant use GPS, coz accuracy of GPS is nearly of 15m-10m,
you can use also a spectrum analyser or a wifi device with monitor mode on, but the first cost ~600$, the second is hard to do, those two need to have wifi turned on SGP.
A couple of options:
You could install skype, or some other app that lets you receive calls, messages, or whatever over wi-fi. Configure the app with an audible alert when a call is received, and then just call your player when you lose it.
Configure the email client to play an alert sound when a new email is received, and email yourself when you need to find your phone
Download google voice and get a free phone number you can text from your computer or phone. Couple it with groove ip app and you have a free wi fi phone service. I use it all the time.
OK, Thanks Guys!

I know it's bad form to resurrect old threads, but I noticed an app on Google Play apparently made for this exact situation. it's called "Wheres My Droid" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alienmanfc6.wheresmyandroid)
install app androidlost....it is not using any memory because its using google account and app after first time doesnt need to be even started as any process normal or background...and then go to www.androidlost.com ..log with your google id and you can do what ever comes to your mind with device remotely.I find my phone and tablet with that 10 times by now or scare my friend who use it because you can even play police siren remotey on device.And this free app is also awsome for spying your girlfriend if she has android phone..mine have no idea that i read all here messages and now who calls here and who she calls..but for now she is good girl
Is there an apps that can control and turn off moble network when the usage hit the thredhold? (IE: at 95%)
Currently I have a 2GB data plan, when I use 90% of my 2GB, ATT would notify me that I am close to my limit. I want to be able to turn off my mobile network automatically once I get to that point. Then strickly use Wifi (if available) until the end ofbilling cycle, so I do not get charge with overage fee.
Thanks in advance for all the responses.
You can definitely do this with Tasker. Just have it shut off data when you receive the text from AT&T. Or you can use ICS/JB's built in data counter. Or you can use a 3rd party one such as Ovano.

Thanks for the reply.
I don't know if I want to do that with Tasker, ATT do occationally send out text for other things.
I am unable to find the build in data counter. I will look into Ovano.
The built in one should be in Settings-> Wireless and network -> Data usage.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda app-developers app
I think you missed my point. I know about the Data Usage. But it does not control and turn off the data network (to my knowledge), not unless I am missing something.
I need something that will and can locked down and turn off my Mobile Network setting until the next cycle.
Thank you for your help though, greatly appriciated.
Hmm... I thought that the "Set mobile data limit" option did just that. But I've never actually used it myself.

When monthly cycles are configured correctly, it does turn off data when you hit the preset limit till the next cycle.

I didn't see that option in my setting. But a friend of mine has that on his. Weird, maybe mine might be a modified version for the ROM I use.

re: Constant data usage.. on wifi and mobile
I was using app after app to figure out why my data connection on wifi and mobile was always working..
I kept shutting down app after app too to find the offending one.
2 days later.. its the FUDGING GPS
and more specifically the check box was checked next to the "Wifi and mobile network location"..
Unchecked it and the data stopped..
Uncheck the box... and you will find better battery life... better yet.. turn off gps when not in use..
was wondering why my phone was losing soooo much battery when i was not using it.
Yes, allowing location to be determined using WiFi and network will eat up battery. Turning off gps when not in use really doesn't save any battery unless you have some rogue app that incessantly polls GPS.

E911 which all cellphones use now are easily traceable to within 100 feet. Even deactivated cell phones have 911 service. Every now and then the police knock on my door because the idiot boys next door fight with each other and use deactivated cell phones and call 911. I just point to their door.
