i want to that is there any method to limit network data usage for specific app.i know there is restrict background usage,and limit data e. g 1 gb but for all apps. i want to set data limit for a specific app. like uc browser can not exceed 1gb data limit but other apps can
hope there maybe a method
Hi actually there is no such setting that's embedded. So basically you have to install a third-party application which goes by the name of "Data Eye", it uses it's in-app VPN to control Data usage of specific apps.
Like this reply if I was able to help you. :laugh:
thanks buddy i will try
i tried data eye but it has no option for specifying data for a specific app. it only blocks and unblocks apps
Currently only this option is available in 5.1.1
ok thanks

Hello folks,
I just randomly checked the memory usage on my Android device and now, I have one question:
Why do some background processes use incredibly much RAM?
For example there are the Facebook app and the Messenger app, together using about 30MB of memory while actually doing nothing. Same for VLC: According to Android Settings there are 7MB used by VLC, while it does nothing. And VLC doesn't even has to check for any new messages.
Btw. MPC-HC on my computer uses 5MB of RAM when not playing any video.
Then again, there is one question left:
The memory values above are read from Android Settings -> Apps -> Active. When using the app "Memory Usage" the values are significantly higher: Facebook app uses 50MB, Facebook Messenger 40MB. VLC seems to use 21MB.
Now, I have two questions:
1. Why are the values in Settings / Memory Usage different?
2 and more important: Why do Apps on Android consume that much memory when actually not doing anything?
Thanks in advance for information,
Wolle
I am looking to stop my phone from tracking the amount of data I use. I am rooted on 4.4.2. I found this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2494991) from a while back, but when I open /data from Root with amaze the folder is empty. That solution really only suggests deleting the tracking file where I moreso want to just stop it from logging new information.
The goal here is to prevent individual apps from tracking how much data I use as they disable certain features after a set amount. I am pretty sure they just check the log rather than actually track the usage themselves as they seem to count ALL data, not just what's used by the specific app.
5. Update your Apps Over WiFi Only
Many apps in Google play store get unnecessary updates by unnecessary i mean they are meant to fix bugs only, and have you noticed how many times all your apps were auto-updated without your consent, spending all them precious GBs, so wasting your finite date over useless updates is not a great idea. To disable Auto-Update you just need to open the Google Play Store and tap on the side tray button, click on Settings option and then select the “Auto-update apps” and select Auto-update apps over WiFi only.
4. Turn On Data Compression on Google Chrome
Most of us are Android users, coz this process is only for Android Users. And if you are an Android user you are also likely Chrome users. Most of us Don’t know that Chrome supports a feature that can reduce data consumption, Google states this feature should save you about 50% in data, without even feeling any difference. All you need to do is open Chrome and hit the menu button and select Settings, click Data Saver and then toggle the option and it done.
3. Cache Everything You Can
Like Google Maps and Google Play Music allow for storing data locally and many other apps. Make sure to save as many as caches and data you can while you are on a WiFi network. Afterwards you can enjoy your saved data without wasted Precious Mobile Data.
2. Avoid Online Streaming
The most awesome Things over the internet consume more data, this includes streaming videos and music, as well as looking through high quality images or GIF files. Try to avoid this kind of consumption as much as possible if you really want to save your mobile data. And if you need to watch it, make sure you change the settings and set quality at lower rates.
1. Restrict Background Data
Do you know that when your phone is not in use some apps spend your too much data. the feature we about to tell is actually one of the greatest features on Android. Background data allows apps to keep everything updated which leads to a great amount of Data wastage. so here is what you can do, Go into Settings > Data Usage and select Restrict Data for the apps that consume large amount of data and dont worry you can undo this by the same method.

Is there a way to export (as CSV for example) storage, and possibly data transfer, stats per application?
I'm using an oldish phone with limited storage as a bike GPS, and mainly just go online through wifi to get maps and the occasional app I might want to add. I'm using NoRoot firewall to limit what can get through, but I find that G**gle etc manage to squeeze a lot of stuff down which I don't necessarily want. So for now I'd like to be able to export lists of installed apps with their storage, before and after wifi connection, to see if I can understand what's coming down, and what I can block or delete later.
Is there such an app? Or can I interrogate Android for that info from a connected Linux machine?
In the longer term I'll think about taking control of the device with a new OS, but for now I'd like to try the above.
I have been trying to find any answer to this question. I have read all I can find. Why is it so hard to access android program and app info? Like lists off all necessary system apps on android? Well, I have several questions. Do any apps require Usage Data Access? Can I turn it off for all my apps? Are there apps which require Usage Data Access to function correctly; If so which ones?
