How do I keep track of data usage on the iPhone 5C?

I just purchased an iPhone 5C (my first smartphone), and I'm confused as to what exactly the GB information in the "Usage" menu under Settings-->General-->Usage means. Are those gigs that are listed how much I have used and available for storage ONLY, or does it also include LTE data usage? I just synced my phone with my iTunes library on my computer, and my "GB used" jumped from 1.0 to 6.3 GB. It seems to be under the heading "storage" and says I still have 7.0 GB available, so I'm inclined to think that it is only counting what I am actually storing on my phone, but if that is the case, then where can I check how much of my data for the month I have used? I am on a family plan, so I want to make sure I'm not accidentally driving our usage up. My Wifi connection at home is currently out, so I know I was using some LTE this morning, but I don't think it was very much. I figured out how to turn off LTE and 3G so I'm not accidentally using data now, but in any case, does anybody know where I can find my data usage info on my phone?
Thanks!

Under the Collection button you can add as many collections as you want.
I created one called "Reading". I then move the book(s) I am reading into that collection so I can just go to there to find my current books.
I also created one called "Complete" so I can remember which ones I can uncheck from iTunes.

How can I find out my data usage for the past 3 months?

Greetings all, I have been a long time Verizon customer, and as such I, along with my husband, was grandfathered into the unlimited data plan. When I last spoke to a representative, they informed me that the only way we were going to be able to keep our unlimited data was by paying the full retail price ($600+) to get a new phone. So we were considering upgrading and changing to one of the newer data plans so we could still get the discounted price on the new phone, but I would like to make sure I choose one with enough data, without paying for a bunch of data that I don't use, however MyVerizon only shows me the amount I have used since the start of the billing cycle. Is there a way to find out the data usage for both my husband and myself for the last 3 months so I can choose the right option?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello sweetpea1221! How exciting that you're considering upgrading with us. mrhelper is helpful, indeed. You can view your data usage for each line under the View Bill option via your My Verizon account. You can also view your 3 month average data usage with our Account Analysis feature. Here's a link that will be helpful in doing so http://bit.ly/vnLjqO. I'm confident that we have a great plan to match your data needs. Please let us know if you have further questions.

Is there anyone else having a major probblem with excessive data usage with the iPhone 5??

My wife and I are on a shared 4GB data plan, she has the Galaxy Note 2 and I have the iPhone 5, she's on her phone way more than I am, but I am using waaay more data than she is, double to be exact. She sends pictures all the time and all of that, I do not, but yet I am still using more data. I have cut off everything from using my cellular data except, facebook, twitter, instagram, and Onavo Count, I have deleted iClouds from my phone, my location is turned off, but yet I am still using a lot of data.. I was wondering, is this issue because of Verizon, or is it because of the iPhone 5? My boss has a iPhone 5 through AT&T and she's not using as much data as I am either and I am pretty sure she's on her phone more than I am as well and do not have half of everything I got not using cellular data cut off.. I been with Verizon since Feb. 2012 and I have always had this problem with data while my wife is using barely 1G a month, I am using almost 2G every month. I am not complaining, I just want to know if anyone else is experiencing the same thing and if so what kind of solutions have you found? Thanks in advance! I hope I hear from someone... preferably a Verizon representative.

Thank you for your response. I do not stream music or videos, I do not
FaceTime, my apps are not automatically updating when using wifi, I
manually update them so they do not use cellular date either. Yes I have
been able to view my data sessions, and honestly its not adding up. This
morning it said my phone used over 90,000 kilobytes and I do not know how.
I am positive my wife uses her phone more than I do but yet I am using more
data.. I've been to the Verizon store and they have not be able to help me
at all, I really like the coverage I get from Verizon but my confusion on
why my phone is using so much data may cause me to switch providers and I
really do not want to, I just really want to get to the bottom of this
situation. I can't even enjoy my phone because I have cut mainly everything
off. Location is cut off, I've deleted iTunes off my phone, I got mainly
all my applications to only be accessed through wife for when I get home. I
cut off my cellular data as soon as I get home because I am under wife when
I am home. My wife do not have to do anything of what I've just mentioned
but yet I am still using more data than she. Is my phone defected,
something has to be wrong here. Please I will really appreciate it if you
or anyone can help me figure what is going on. Please, thank you!

What sort of monthly data usage does the iphone use up?

Hi,
Hope this is the right place to ask this. I'm getting an iphone 4 in a couple of weeks, and have been looking at the priceplans available.
They all seem to only give 500mb data allowance, what shocked me was to read this on vodafone's site :
*500MB a month will let you read and reply to approximately 100 emails, view 92 BBC news stories, and browse around 44 mobile web pages - every day. And 1000MB will let you read and reply to approximately 200 emails, view 184 BBC news stories, and browse around 88 mobile web pages.*
whereas T-mobile say :
*With 500MB of data you could do one of the following (roughly):*
** Send 500,000 emails without attachments*
** Send 1000 emails with photo attachments*
** 5000 visits to simple sites like Twitter or blogs*
** 1500 visits to rich content sites like bbc.co.uk, guardian.co.uk and so on*
** Download 50 low quality or 12 high quality tunes*
** Watch 60 views of 4.5 minute YouTube™ videos*
Obviously therefore i feel that vodafone have massively screwed up on their website there, and am guessing T-mobile have got the more accurate description of what 500mb data allowance can give you.
Just wanted to ask you iphone-ers whether you find yourselves going over 500mb of data allowance each month? I wouldnt be a heavy user of downloading things, but i would like to use all the aps and browse the web now and then like every other iphone user out there, so just want to gauge whether to go for a contract with a larger allowance, and less minutes, or whether 500mb per month is a perfectly reasonable amount!
Thanks in advance

Your question although entirely reasonable, can be paraphrased as 'how long is a piece of string?'
I'm fine and I have an unlimited usage account (one of the old ones that they do not have any more).
I still don;t use more than 500mb but then again I have access to Openzone and The Cloud wifi which covers much of London, and airports. That usage isn't metered.
I have no idea if it is enough for you as we are completely different.

How can I monitor my monthly data usage for all 3 computers in my house? I have an Airport base station and it seems there should be software to monitor it from that point rather than monitoring the usage for each computer and then adding it up.

     <logic:iterate id="list" name="QUEST_LIST" indexId="sno">
     <tr>
          <td><%=(sno.intValue()+1) %>
          </td>
          <td> <bean:write name="list" property="QUESTION" />

How do I keep track of dialog boxes?

If I have a three question test, How do I keep track of the answers?

OK a bit of sanity.
you have a 3 question test.
presumably you have a 3 element array of questions (Strings?)
String[] questions = {"What is 1 + 1","What is 2 + 2","What is 3 + 3"};
in a loop you ask each question, then get the response to each.
String answer = .....readLine();
if you change this to an object
class Question
String question;
String answer;
public Question (String q){question = q;}
}then your array looks like this
Question[] questions = {new Question("What is 1 + 1"), etc
so now the display of the question changes from
System.out.print(questions[x]);
to
System.out.print(questions[x].question);
likewise for the answer
from
String answer = .....readLine();
to
questions[x].answer = .....readLine();
now, in your Question array, each 'question' stores the answer received

How do I keep track of stats and subscriptions of my podcast? Mine was just added today.

My podcast, The Big Seance Podcast, was just added to iTunes today. Other than keeping track of stats through my host (Libsyn), how can I keep track of subscriptions, ratings, and downloads through itunes? Thanks!

Hi Patrick,
You will not get any stats from Apple / iTunes. You need to get that info from your libsyn account.
If you want to see the number of people consuming via iTunes or the Podcasts App (AppleCoreMedia) - you will need to have the advanced stats - App 400 or greater level account in Libsyn.
That is the only way to get the info you are looking for.
Regards,

How does DIAdem keep track of which version is active when multiple versions are installed?

I need a way to find out which version of DIAdem is active, without creating an automation reference. How does DIAdem keep track of this? I don't think it's through the registry as far as I can tell. Thanks.

Hi,
I'm not quite sure what you mean by "version of DIAdem is active". If you are trying to reference DIAdem from an external program, you will need to use an automation reference. Besides this case, I am not sure what you are referring to.
Perhaps a short description of your application or intended use will help me point you in the right direction.

How can I keep tracks playing when I'm browsing?

There must be an obvious answer to this question, but I don't know what it is.
If I'm playing an album, but then start to browse somewhere else (as one would do if listening to a CD), the music will stop after the track has finished, and not go on to the next track. (because the tracks are no longer in the browser window)
How can I keep playing what I want, in the order that I want, while I am browsing other music?
Thanks

I find this to be a problem as well, especially since I know I was able to work with iTunes this way before I installed iTunes 7.3?
I'm reading some other posts which suggest that being able to play tracks from an library subset (genre, album, artist) AND browse other playlists at the same time was never a feature of iTunes.
Since I know I'm not imagining that I used to use iTunes quite happily, I'm wondering is there an option in 7.3 that I'm not paying attention to?
It seems crazy not to be able to do this.

Yes, I filed police report, but there is nothing they can do until I get back to them on the tracking. It's been offline. I'm sure the whoever took it can find a way around breaking in the ipad..i really was hoping to get my pictures and videos of my kids back

Is it possible to put a limit on my data usage on my iphone?

is it possible to keep a track of my data usage,and stop going over it

You can keep track of your usage at Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data Usage, but you cannot put a limit on it. You have to check and shut it off manually (Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data = "Off")

What is the best app for managing data usage on an iPhone 4S?

What app are most of you using to manage your data usage on an iPhone 4S.

Assuming that DonXX means 'monitor' rather than 'manage', my experience may be of relevance.
I have a data usage problem with my iPhone 4. It started for me when I 'upgraded' to ioS 6. This may or may not be a coincidence. I went from an average monthly data usage of 150MB/month (a 2 year average) to 8.1 GB up/download in 28 days. To try and track down which app is The Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal, I've just installed the Onavo Count app. This claims to monitor the data usage of each app. My sights at the moment are on Skype. I only use iCloud for Calendar syncing.

Are there known data usage problems with iPhone 4S?

I just got my first iPhone. I barely know how to use the thing and pretty much only use it for checking my work email. I blew through 7 GB of data in 20 days. From everyone I've talked to there is no way I have done this based on my limited usage. So something is running in the background that I can't control. I've turned off the cellular setting and told it to only use wifi, and when I'm at home it appears to be using my wifi. I read some other comments here saying it could be a problem with the iOS, but it didn't seem like a definite answer. Any other ideas?

Last month I checked the data usage on my iPhone 4S three days after the start of a new billing cycle. To my shock I discovered that I had been charged with about 193 MB of usage. That was very odd because 193 MB is well above what my total data usage is each month. Immediately contacted AT&T Customer Service--twice. Each time they could not provide an explanation as to why the data usage was charged to my phone. All they could tell me was that all of the 193 MB were charged on the very day the new billing cycle started. They did try to sell me a larger data plan.
I thought maybe this was just an odd thing that couldn’t be explained. Kept a close eye on my data usage for the reminder of the billing cycle and didn’t have another large data charge. I still stayed well under the 300 MB plan limit even with the unexpected 193 MB of usage on day one.
Then my wife checks her iPhone 4S data usage on day one of this month's billing cycle at about 9 AM. She finds that she has been charged with 30 MB of data usage when she hasn't even used her phone. Again, 9 AM; day one of new billing cycle; 30 MB of usage; no active applications running. How can this be? She contacted AT&T Customer Service and once again they were no help. She made two phone calls and also spoke with one CS Manager, but no one could explain why she has been charged for the 30 MB. Anyone else having this problem? Please help us resolve this if you know what to do? Extremely frustrating to be charged for data we know we are not using. Getting no help from AT&T Customer No-Service.

HT4859 How do I keep one Apple ID account for the family, yet have different iCloud accounts for calendar, email, etc.??

How do I keep one Apple ID account for the family, yet have different iCloud accounts for calendar, email, etc.??

First decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account. On the others, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Once all your devices have their on iCloud accounts, to un-merge the data you will have to go to icloud.com on your computer, sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (such as deleting your son's contacts from your account, and vice versa).
You should also use separate Apple IDs for services such as iMessage and FaceTime. Otherwise, you're likely to end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls. If you need to change these, for iMessage go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a separate ID (such as the one just created for iCloud). For FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
