Has anyone else had an issue with SuperNexus 2.0 not calculation mobile data usage correctly. I set up the same limits that I have had in the past and within a day or two, I had supposedly hit my limits. I requested a usage balance from the phone company and I am not where near the limits calculated on the phone.

I experienced this issue as well, but from more ROMS than supernexus. I gave up on trying to use the firmware to keep up, and from time to time I simply check with at&t by using the ussd code below, taken from >>this at&t website<<
Check or estimate data usage:
You can check your data usage online, on your handset, or by dialing *3282# (*DATA#). We will send you a free text message with your data usage.
Thanks for the info...the *3282# method is the one that I used to verify that the data usage calculation was incorrect.

Hi,
I'm new here, so forgive me if I've not followed the right process before asking something...
I would like to identify what kind of process is talking with the network.
Actually there's plenty of programs which can help identify how many network data each app use.
Recently I was facing a strange problem, the system reported that I used 150 Mbits on one day but if I sum all the network data usage of the app showed the sum was like 20 Mbits...
I've tested this with three differents Apps :
- the information located under settings > Data Usage (not sure about the translation, as it's in french on my phone)
- Avast Network Counter
- ZDBox network counter
All three apps said that I used more data that what was showed...
So I wonder if there's a kind of low level app that can report these network usage (I'm rooted) ?
My phone is a Galaxy SIII under stock Android 4.1.1 (rooted/flashed)
thanks !
Hi, some months ago, I put Cyanogenmod 10.1 on my Galaxy Ace. It wasn´t very fast, but caused no problems and was usable. This morning, I woke up only to find out that my phone used lots of data overnight. I got a text from my carrier saying I'm 2,5 gigs = 100 euro's past my limit. The Android data usage menu states that the Google Play store used 2.23 GB, but auto updating via mobile network is disabled and I only have 7 apps installed.
I know that I can't undo the usage, but I'd like to know what may have caused this excessive data usage.

Does anyone know a reasonable explanation for this?

Yoyr apps might have additional data that needs to be downloaded. Plus google play is a fickle app. It can disobey your commands. I would advise you to turn off your data when not using it. It'll save you battery

Hey Guys,
I have a Lg G2 D802 and I have tried various stock ROMs like Cloudy G3, Optimus G3 and ofcourse the stock ROM. The issue is that my G2 seems to use mobile data even when my data is turned off. Upon further investigation, i found out that it's the Location Service when set to High Accuracy triggers the data irrespective of whether you have mobile data turned on or off.
Thing I have tried till now
1. Mobile data OFF :- Data gets consumed when i have location service set to High Accuracy
2. Mobile Data OFF and Connected to Wifi :- Data gets consumed when i have location service set to High Accuracy
3. Mobile Data OFF and used a Fake APN name :- Data gets consumed when i have location service set to High Accuracy
Due to this issue, i am not able to use offline navigation app like sygic.
A similar issue is Open in the Google Issue Tracker Page which can be found here
Is there any solution yet to get rid of the above bug?
I don't see how this restricts you from using anything. It's not like it's going to ACTIVELY use data, it sounds like it does some sort of very tiny data transfer, maybe even just agps data or such, and I'll bet it does it once a day.
It's not like GPS is "using data".

Yes it uses tiny packets of days, not like once in a day but may be every 10-15 minutes. But the main thing is that data should not get consumed once we have turned off the data.. People who are on roaming can still incur significant data charges. It indeed is a bug which is also on the Google issue tracker. Just wanted to know if anyone had any solution for it.
If it's true, then it's weird.
change location service to battery saving mode. then it wont.

I know it doesn't then but then I can't use offline navigation apps like sygic
if you install an application to track your data will you find the consumption of them?
I know there's some option when doing initial setup (like after reflashing ROM or hard reset). There's a checkbox or two, checked by default. Can't recall its name now but it's something like "Allow Google to do something (?) even when data is disabled".

"Allow Google to use your location even when location is turned off" or something.
Ahh, yeah. That's correct

That's not the issue.. the thing is I want to use location at high accuracy without using data.. I have offline navigation.. but that is not looking possible.
Hello everybody. Im new to this site and i know that there are people here who are very talented and i would like to thank them for their help that they provide. This site have helped me a great deal even though i just browse it.
Short version:
So, my service provider have this data plan for me which consists of 2 parts:
1- 2 GB during the month (except the duration of the second part).
2- 1 GB everyday and it is provided from 12:00 am to 6:00 am
So, if the time is anything but the second duration, my service provider will monitor my 2 GB consumption. And i believe the description for the second part of the plan is clear.
I would love it if there was an app that can monitors this data plan and can put caps on it and update accordingly on a daily basis. Is there such an app?
Thanks in advance.
TLR version:
Now, i like to download big files sometimes and to automate the process i used an app called automate it and it helped me in setting logical operators for the time interval of the second part and controls switching on/off my data connection and wifi but my current setup relies on me updating the data usage app of the system on a daily basis which is cumbersome. What happens is ill give my device the 1 gb allowance\cap on a daily basis. It will reach it during the 12-6 am interval. The system will turn the data connection off. Automate it will realize that and turn on the wifi connection to continue downloading. All of this while im a sleep which is awesome but i have to update the 1 gb allowance on a daily basis which is combursome and i would love it if there was an app that can put 2 data caps on my internet usage as based on the description of my data plan.
Thanks in advance.

Hi there
I have the KIW-L21 version of the Honor 5X and I am on the stock B140 firmware.
I have tried endlessly to find the setting where one can set the monthly mobile data usage limit and the related warning setting when one hits such a set limit.
It seems the setting(s) is not available on the Honor 5X.
Is this a known bug and are the Honor reps on this forum aware of this possible bug ?
If it is indeed a bug will it be fixed when the Android Marshmallow update is released ?
Thank you

Yes, it would be a reason if Honor do not fix this bug.
Is anyone else on a stock rom experiencing the same issue (i.e. not able to set a monthly mobile data usage limit) ?

The data setting is in the Phone admin app (the one with the shield) -> Data traffic -> package settings (first option) -> Data limit

Thanks, but on my phone the "PACKAGE SETTINGS" is not present.
Thus I am unable to set a data limit.
I think it may be a bug with the EMUI software which does not allow me to see the "PACKAGE SETTINGS" option.
I do hope Honor look into this possible bug.
I noticed this was missing as well. There's a setting to turn mobile data off and on but it doesn't look like the typical screen on Android, right? I just started researching this bc I had wished it was there as well and today I downloaded the Canon print app...For some reason it wanted me to toggle off cellular data and when I clicked the shortcut in the notification to go to settings it took me directly to the screen I didn't think existed where it shows the standard on/off toggle and a graph showing data usage with the option to set data limits. Can not find a direct way to get to it, but I know it exists now, which makes it even worse.

After a little more thought I think we can take advantage of this hack. Settings/data traffic management/traffic reminder settings allows you to set limits on data usage, but mine was always wrong because the start/end dates for my plan couldn't be set. It's a one-time hassle but downloading the Canon print app to get to the standard Android data usage screen allowed me to set the start date for my plan and after that we should be able to use the more advanced options of EMUIs traffic management. To be more specific about my process...Download the Canon print app, launch it. It will begin the setup process. All you have to do is accept terms for the first 2 screens and after that there's a notification to turn off cellular data, click yes to display the cellular data settings screen and you will get the standard Android data management screen that we all know and love. Setup whatever you wish. For me just being able to set the plan dates was all I needed, however you can always get back to this screen through the same process if you want to use it for other settings. Just don't actually turn off cellular data or complete the setup for the print app and it should run again any time you launch the app. If it doesn't, go to phone settings/apps and clear the memory of the Canon app to start fresh. IF you're like me and already have a Canon printer and use this app, you will have to setup you're printer again if you clear memory but you'll just need to do this once to set the plan dates then use EMUIs traffic management so that you can actually use the Canon app for your printer, but if you don't have a Canon printer you can use the app to get to this screen whenever you wish. I hope this helps someone. I know I'm thrilled just to be able to set the plan dates bc without that option all the traffic management stuff on the phone is always wrong and completely useless. Good luck!
Why not try an app from playstore !
