How do I monitor my data usage

How do you find out what apps are running when you're not using the phone?

Settings > General > Background App Refresh allows you to enable/disable Background App Refresh entirely or by app.
Settings > Cellular > Use Cellular Data For allows you to see how much cellular data has been used by apps and by specific system services since you last reset the statistics there.
Also, some carriers (Verizon for one) allow you to set thresholds (e.g., 50%, 75% of data plan reached, etc) where they will automatically warn you re your data usage.

How do i set a data usage alert

How do I set a data usage alert?

This isn't a feature that's built into iOS.
Most carriers will send an alert before you reach your data cap and you can check your data usage in Settings > Usage > Cellular Usage.

How to fix background wifi data usage in iphone6 iOS 8.1.1 when connecting to wifi?

How to fix background wifi data usage in iphone6 iOS 8.1.1 when connecting to wifi?

Hi
I have Iphne 4s/5.0.1 and I'm also stuck with same problem from last 5 days. I have restored/backup/updated the phone as many times as possible. I have been with Vodafone Customer Care (India) and now everyone knows my problem there, but there is no solution.
I have read and tried most of the solutions provided here. Please help me out.
Problem -
1. 3G / Edge working when restore as new phone
2. 3G / Edge stops working as soon as backup is restored
3. Copied and verified both of the files (8218978e4ab0a48035bb92653145a6be872ea858 (Restored new iphone & Restored backup iphone) have different settings. Replacing part of this file or even complete text of this file, changes the date/time stamp of file and on backup restoration it says "Corrupt backup" and phone restarts.
4. I dont want to Jailbreak the phone
5. Using any third party software to install new APN says "Only One APN can be installed"
6. Profile doesnt show any other APN
Is there any other way to delete this file (com.apple.managedCarrier.plist) or just change the section where in string value is "Portalnmms" to required value "iphone" along with key?
Please help me out.
thanks

How may I monitor my broadband usage?

Is there Apple approved software that will allow me to monitor my broadband usage?

There is no Apple approved software, but that does not mean Apple do not have anything against doing this either. I have found two easy-to-use applications to do this but both require that you have a broadband router that supports SNMP. Unfortunately many IPS' provide routers with this feature disabled.
See https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/netuse-traffic-monitor/id440301281?mt=12
and http://peakhourapp.com
Both will not only monitor real time usage, but both can also measure usage against monthly data allowances.

How to fix a corrupted data usage SQLite database?

I have an iPhone 5 running the latest iOS 8.0.2 and this phone is never jailbroken.
A few months ago I noticed my data usage was not updated anymore. I tried many things to restore it. Today I hooked up my iPhone to Xcode and there it revealed the problem in the device logs:
Sep 28 13:38:01 Marcels-iPhone Preferences[331] <Warning>: CoreData: error: (11) Fatal error. The database at /var/wireless/Library/Databases/DataUsage.sqlite is corrupted. SQLite error code:11, 'database disk image is malformed'
So apparently the data usage SQLite file on my iPhone got corrupted. How on earth can I restore this database?

If you are able, try modifying or deleting the account using "/Applications" > "Utilities" > "NetInfo Manager.app" - (be careful that only the user and not the entire "users" directory is selected when you delete).
Otherwise, the output from this commands might provide more info on the state of the user records, potentially providing a clue to how to fix it (if the second field in any entry contains anything other than asterisks, don't post them):<pre>nidump passwd /</pre>Also, if the user shows up using this command, that might provide another method for referring to the user using "NetInfo" based commands:<pre>nicl . -list /users</pre>If there aren't a lot of other users on the computer, you could always reset the whole "NetInfo" database as described in the document below. User accounts will have to be recreated (adjusting to match the original 'uid' values), and custom groups, share points, mounts, etc. (if any) will have to be reconfigured as well.

How can I reduce excessive data usage?

My wife and I recently moved to the country and have no internet available by a physical cable or wire from an ISP. Our internet service is provided through a Verizon Jetpack that we lease from Verizon. We have an iPhone 4s, iPhone 5s, an iPad 1, and an iPad 2 (both iPads are WiFi only)
Our problem is excessive data usage. Prior to our move, our iPhones each used approx .2GB per month. 16 days into our current billing month, the iPhones have each used approx 1.2GB, but our Jetpack (which creates our home WiFi for our iPads) has already used 10GB. We do not stream anything on our iPads. We use them in the evening for surfing the internet, checking Facebook, and playing Words With Friends. That's about it. The Verizon online data calculator indicates we shoud be using about 4GB per month based on our iPad usage. Yet my data usage log says that one night this week between 7:30 PM and 11:30 PM, our Jetpack used a full 1GB. Is it possible that our Jetpack is simply "burning up" GBs while we sleep?

On my iPhone 4 running iOS 6, Settings > General > Usage quotes the installed size of the apps not the data usage. I've just installed the Onavo Count which claims to record data usage of each app so one can see which the greedy ones are.

How can i check my data usage on ipad mini

IPhone 5 iOS 7 how do I reduce wifi data usage?

When traveling abroad I rent a pocket broadband wifi hotspot rather than renting a SIM because I want to keep my number for texting & calls. I find that I have to tune the heck out of my devices to avoid consuming a ton of data. The diagnostics aren't great to show what is devouring data. I can get my idle IPad mini with iOS 7 and my IPad with iOS 6 to avoid consuming background data. My iPhone 5 with iOS 7 however is devouring about 1MB per second. I've deleted iCloud, shut off push, shut off notifications, shut of location services, deleted every deletable app, shut of background data, reduced the # of days Outlook & gmail fetch (manually), deleted iMessage, and shut off iTunes background updates. I've done everything but wipe the phone. Still when I turn on wifi with nothing running in the background it chows through the data.

It sounds like you've tried some very good remedies. A couple of additional thoughts:
Have you removed Game Center based apps? Game Center can run checks to make sure you are still a high scorer, etc.
Have you considered contacting your cellular carrier and simply finding an international roaming plan supplied by them? That would allow you to keep your number for texting and calls, but not have to deal with the pocket broadband. It sounds like you're just planning to use the texting and/or calls very rarely.
Hopefully you know you can check cellular data use at Settings > Cellular > Cellular Usage (near the bottom). You could dry run only using cellular data at home to see what is consuming your data. Or if you simply keep your home cellular service while abroad, you can monitor your progress while traveling.

How do I monitor my internet usage on firefox 17?

I want to monitor the downstream to my computer cause it's going up suddenly. I tried to use Web Historian but it doesn't work with firefox 5 and up.
Thanks

Thanks but actually, what i would like to do is search in the history file in FIREFOX 17 to look where the excess downstream is coming from. I didn't change the way i use the internet so i wounder where this data is coming from and for what. With Web Historian from Mandiant, I'm able to read the history.dat file and it shows us where the data is coming from (How much, when, etc.). It doesn't work with FIREFOX 17 so i was wondering if it's possible to do so with another program. The addon that you sent me are not able to do so. Hope you'll have something for me.
Thanks for your help

Is there a way to monitor the data usage on existing applications?

I just noticed that a few apps are still using my data plan long after I closed the application.
Is there a way to monitor that?
Also I am being told that the icloud back up can consume allot of data (in the GB)

About the only thing you could try is looking at the internet history on the phone itself. But there is not a site on VZW that will show WHAT the data was used for,

How do I prevent excess data usage?

The last two months I have gone over my data limit on my cellphone plan. I am constantly connected to WIFI at home and at work I only use facebook on my phone. I understand with the WIFI dropping out throughout the night might cause my phone to use the 3G, however before I got WIFI I never went over my limit and my usage hasnt increased. I hardly use my phone for anything except facebook and snap chat and it has never been a problem before. I have a feeling my phone is using data in the background somewhere, I have closed all my apps and I havent updated anything. Apart from switching my data off entirely is there anyway to prevent this happening or to see what exactly is using all the data?

You can do it online or via my vzw app from ipad. What plan are on you may be eligible for a free 1Gb promo

HEllO ALL,
I need to know that how can i monitor the data usage of all IP's( ALL LAPTOP and MOBILES) which are all sharing the same router. Please help me out as soon as possible.

How do you know what the data usage was for and why? It shows you date and usage but not the reason.

How can you see what data usage was for on the bill? It only shows the date and usage but not the reason for the usage.

You can not see this info on VZW's site. There are apps for smartphones that will break down the info though, but by site or what was downloaded

How can I monitoring the usage of an index in oracle 8i

Dear Gurus,
I known the Oracle 9i have this new feature "Identifying Unused Indexes" via ALTER INDEX MONITORING USAGE, but how can I monitoring the index usage in the Oracle 8i?
Regars

You can't in 8i. However you can look at the SQL Text in the SGA looking for anything that matches the table name that the index is for and then look at the explain plan for the selects and updates. Pain in the xxx to do but it should give you the information.
