There are a lot on playstore. Just get the one you like and try them out by yourself.

There are quite alot of apps which monitors data usage, but don't know which one to choose which monitors data usage accurate
hi lither,
what ROM are you using? stock Samsung?
on stock, aosp, aokp or cm10 you can observe the mobile data and WiFi usage under settings/data usage -there you will also find an option to set a data warning and limit on which your phone automatically turns off mobile data.
hope it helped you

And you are using a task killer/ram optimization app why? Android will kill apps when RAM is low, and why would you need so much free ram?
Please correct me if I misunderstood though. Some devs prefer strict though I believe.

This isn't like task killer app... its not like once of those app u click kill all apps.
I'm just trying apps to get the best battry life out of my phone.
This app actually tweak stuffs unlike other apps. It helps u to get the battery life out of your phone I believe, if you can use it right.
So I was just asking if anyone is using this app and getting better battery life
Im just going to delete this app for now since I don't know how to use it and its draining my battery. If anyone is getting better battery life when using custom roms with it let me know.

its his phone to do with as he pleases...but to answer your question, some apps continuously run in the background (even after you "close" them), and there is absolutely no need for them. They chew up RAM and battery. I use a moderate combination of AutoMemory Optimizer, AutoStarts, and a conventional task killer. I keep my RAM squeaky clean cause thats how i want it. I dont like my OS waiting for it to get to an unnecessary low point before it starts "killing"

Auto killer ... is a tool used to enhance android's internal memory manager ... Unlike its name its not a task killer .. again you can use it to tell android when and how much memory to reclaim ..... I use the preset 'aggressive ', but to fully understand the settings I would suggest you go the the dev's website, he has a lot of useful info on there .....

Thanks I will definitely check it out. But are you getting more battery life out of it?

one will argue that it saves battery my limiting application runtime. another will argue that it takes up more battery because the app keeps starting and stopping. Thats why you should always use a program like "Autostarts", which prevents certain apps from EVER opening in situations that they dont need to be open. If youre getting into task management, that should be your first step before anything else, cause that DOES save your battery.
how does com.Motorola.gallerywidget use data?
and how does it use data constantly enough to cause Onavo to show me that its hogging data?

Hey guys, running flapjaxxx most current revision of the unofficial. And am looking for a widget that can read the data usage as reported from Settings > Data usage instead of taking its own measurement . I have found that the systems do the counter is more accurate than any app I have tried
There isn't one. Requires, rooting and porting.

My data connection goes into idle mode if I don't use it and stops downloads... How can I prevent it??

I guess he meant 'idle'.
About the question, if its in Wi-Fi there is an option to "Keep Wifi On during sleep". Check whether an option like that exists in 2G/3G data connection settings. AFAIK, the data connection would be always live, and I do doubt whether an option for the same exists.
Sorry for the spelling...but it's not on wifi..It's on data connection and it stops send receive if I don't use it actively and hence downloads stop

Okay guys, so after using a lot of tweaks for the rom I'm at a point where my performance and battery life is pretty good. So here's the one one app which always saves battery life like a pro:
SetCPU - it's a life savor, try setting up some profiles in it for the different battery states and lock screen etc. By setting normal CPU on lock screen to 300 it got so much better battery life.
To find the app just search "SetCPU" in play store, it does require root acces.

Hmm, I am pretty sure that SetCPU needs a custom kernel with change-able clock speeds.

To overclock? Yes. To manage CPU profiles according to battery level, lock screen and so on. Only root is needed. Its only the frequency it changes

sorry for offtopic, before i factory reset i used rom toolbox pro for cpu profiles. i also found sd booster - it works for internal memory and external micro sd card.
i see there is standalone app for that also -> https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mehrmann.sdbooster&hl=pl

Doesn't it damage the memory ?
There are some reviews that claim this damaged their phone.

i don't know. imho it does not because it's about caching files, it's something like creating ram from int/ext memory and someone said:
Yeah it will degrade the life of the sdcard, which is why I advise users to perform due diligence in the Disclaimer/Warning.
But from the research I did it seems that the degradation is negligible enough that something else in the device will break before the sdcard. Or even more likely the user will replace their device due to pace of technology before the degradation is really noticed.

creating 256mb swap partition is more than actually making 4mb cache so i think it is barely impossible to damage the storage even because we download many apps or games so the storage is filling with data too
it is only my opinion
