Hello!
When my i9300 (Omini ROM) enable internet connection (WiFI or 3G), it starts downloading something to my device. Because i can see it fully utilized my internet connection (only download, not uploading). But I don't know what is it (Which application does it). Are there any way to track which app do it or are there anyway to view each application internet usage?
Thanks!

There is a built in system in settings in data usage.. U can limit your usage too with that.. Then there are apps like 3g watchdog etc..which kind of do a similar job...

OK Kunal. I'll try 3 G watch dog. But are there any way to view WiFi usage? I think in system settings it shows 3G, 4G data usage.
In device Settings>data usage>WiFI, I can see Google keyboard eats my data. It used 1.61GB. Oh man. Why is that?

Is there some application that can monitor internet usage by application? I know 3G Watchdog does the job, but it only shows the global consumption and I want to see which apps are using my internet because sometimes I can see my internet being used but I don't know which app is using it.
Also can someone tell me how I can deactivate it and turn it on until I need it.
Thanks!!
Have a look at Call meter NG...

nice post...
Call Meter NG doesn't do the trick either
@OP If you find software that does that please let me know, coz that would be pretty awesome, using watchdog at the moment but dunno where the data is going.

This is the same as 3G Wathdog, just shows the total usage. I want one where you can see Internet usage by application.

Count what about GPS exactly?
Sent from my X10a using Tapatalk
GPS is never counted as data usage, it uses signal from GPS satellites, not the internet connection. However, if you are using Google Maps, the internet connection is used to download the maps.
3GW has not yet the capability of counting usage per application, but a "pro" version will in the near future, only for phones under Android 2.2+ because it's not technically feasible AFAIK with older versions of the OS.
Hey guys,
I really need per app counter especially now for my X10.
I have only a 200mb plan, but I don't ever do anything else on the internet except use Google Voice app to text(since I tend to text a bunch).
Anyways, first month that I had the phone my traffic got up to about 120mb, but that was because I browsed web etc (you know.. got a new toy and started to play with it type of thing), but after this month I installed counter and monitor it from AT&T's website too, and half-way through the month traffic got up to 140mb!
Now I have disabled background data once I noticed that, now I have enabled it but uninstalled Google Voice app, and gonna have to go without it for few days (which isn't that great) and see if it's it that's causing the problem.
The thing is that I need the app one way or the other, and second is that I want to know for sure what EXACTLY is using my traffic.
Any advice is welcome.

LAN Spy Monitor is excellent all-in-one Internet usage monitoring software, it works very well.
Hi guys,
I'm running Android 2.2 on my Touch Pro2, and since I have only 50MB of data/month (for now), I would like to disable background data when I'm not on Wifi and enable it when I'm connected to a network. Is that possible? I tried with Tasker, but it doesn't seem to work :/
Thanks
Sam
Disable mobile data. You can use wireless when it is disabled.

try apn on/off on the market for mobile data
Yeah, that was my last solution... In fact, it should do the work I guess, but if for example I want to go on Facebook when I'm on the bus, I'll have to enable it and the background data with it ... well, I'll give it a try and see if it's good for me! Thanks
I have Android-x86 (latest 4.2.2) since 2 days ago. When I connect my network via wifi, it goes blank, so I decided to skip the wifi and disable it. So I found way to connect internet via Huawei USB Dongle and everything goes well but some Google Service dont. After some research I found that using TTY to connect USB Dongle doesn't change the signal bar and leave the signal bar to blank, but I can connect to internet, as I said.
So, my final question:
How I can fake the signal bar ?

Faking signal bar
I didn't got ur question exactly..
But according to my experience faking is nt that really easy as setting a wallpaper..
You can change your settings using root explorer and editing sim or wifi properties (As I didnt got what you want to fake) to display full 100% strength even when there is no signal..
But first make a nandroid backup..

I think this one is not possible. The possible is removing the google play link to an specific apps but you need to be root your phone and use lucky patcher but the problem is... not all apps link to google play are supported with lucky patcher...

Any news on this?
Similar to AngSanley, I want to use Google based apps like navigation on a 'non-standard' internet connection, a bluetooth internet connection (via Blue VPN). Unfortunately, Google based apps or some of the non-Google ones that check for either wifi or 3G / GSM internet connection, (like TuneIn Radio) refuse to work with it.
I need to fake an established wifi or 3G / GSM internet connection to get them working. The only Google based app that works with my bt connection is Google Play. Many other non-Google apps that obiously aren't set to check for such a 'standard' internet connection are working fine.
In my opinion, Google should remove this really senseless inconveniece. This is a limitation in fact.

Hi,
Is there an app or any way to find network traffic for an app at real time? They way Chrome/IE dev tools allow you to monitor network requests and response.
Thanks.
something like this play.google.com/store/search?q=network%20traffic&c=apps&hl=el ???

Something that can monitor an app for it's data usage. Like which server and what data is sent/received.
Network Log
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.googlecode.networklog
So I just realized that my phones been using tons of mobile data. I was under the impression that Wi-Fi supersedes data if both are enabled? I tested it out and it's still using mobile data while Wi-Fi is on.
Anyone know what the deal is or if one of my Wi-Fi settings is causing it?
I'm on Verizon S4 GPE ROM. 4.4.3.
Try going to settings/data usage and see what's using the data. Also, while WiFi is on your mobile days shouldn't be being used.

There's a few things : play music, Facebook, g+, etc. Most of it is music.
Strangely, I have Play Music set to stream, etc. Only on Wi-Fi.
Unless the see data usage app in settings is also reporting Wi-Fi data
