Help data usage and monitoring it

[dan44762000]

hi i have just come from a iphone 4 too the galaxy s2 and i am glad i did however i have noticed a considerable increase in data usage.
it is fine as i am on a truly unlmited plan .

thanks for any help in this matter

3G Watchdog is what most people use. I have unlimited MediaNet for $10 bucks a month,so I don't really worry about it.

When Android 4.0 comes to the phone, it will have this functionality built in.

I use DU Meter, mainly co ive used it on the PC for years and years and its been flawless.

Gives daily/monthly/whatever usage stats and a warning when u are close to your limit

I think dan wants to know what apps are using up the data, not just how much is being used in general. 3g watchdog, good though it is (I use it on mine) does not report on a per app basis.

I too would be interested in an app that breaks data usage down to the app level.

Actually the pro version for 3G watchdog does break down data into apps usage, and as far as I can tell accurate cause there isn't much difference between network (service provider) readings and this.
