Tracking Data Usage

I've been keeping an eye on my data usage, trying to make sure my wife and I don't go over our limited 2gb per month. Neither of us stream videos or games or use youtube very heavily, but I'm still seeing peaks throughout the day on each of our cell phones of over 3,000 kb, sometimes over 12,000kb. Any ideas on what could use this amount of data or more at one time? We do have a few smaller games on our phones (Candy Crush and Songpop), could these games be using that much data at one time if played for an extended period of time?

    Hello jblakey102. I'm happy to see that you're checking on your data usage closely. Your phone will default to connect to your WiFi if you have WiFi turned on in your phone's settings and have already saved your WiFi's log in information. Keep in mind that it may take a few moments for your phone to successfully connect to the WiFi once it's in range, so there may be some data used during the crossover or if your WiFi signal is weak or unavailable. What model phone do you have? Many phones offer the ability to turn off mobile data. This is a great way to ensure your phone is only using WiFi, but you would need to turn it back on to send or receive a picture message or to get data service when out of range.
Thank you

  • Can I track data usage?

    Is there a way to determine which apps are using data?
    Or, for example, if I have used 20 MB of data today, which apps used that data, and how much per app?
    Thanks

    Yes -- Settings > Cellular > Use Cellular Data For shows data usage by app and you can also click on "System Services" at bottom of that list to see details of system services. Information is since you last reset the data which you can do at anytime at the bottom of that screen.

  • APP TO TRACK DATA USAGE FROM EACH APP

    Guys, i am experiencing the same. My data package got over, and i took time to recharge ( 4 days). And during these 4 days, my phone battery was amazing, i used to charge it once in 2 days.
    Im sure there is some app that uses data extensively that screws our battery.
    When i connected to wifi , i noticed the battery getting low as well.
    If only APPLE was smart enough, to create some software that tells us, that its using this much amount of data and at what time, then this battery issue will be resolved.
    But that wont happen, because then they wont be a lot of free too good to be true free apps, which collects data and whatsoever without we know.
    Until then, enjoy your life with a USB cable in your pocket and a car charger is your car, to charge it thrice a day.
    Thanks.

    Dear Diesel , As mentioned earlier if APPLE was smart , but it seems there are smarter people creating paid apps for the same.
    Nevertheless , my point in reference to APPLE, is they should create an option in the iOS , similar to the cellular data usage.
    SETTINGS>GENERAL>USAGE>CELLULAR USAGE
    If this is taken note of seriously by APPLE, then only we could have a greater battery life.
    Hope you got a clear picture now.

  • Who's tracking the trackers with data usage?

    Hello - I was just wondering if there was a type of software or service that could be installed on your devise that accurately tracks data usage? With all the posts about overuse charges, and unexpected crazy bills if there was a way to verify the usage outside of any tools that verizon provides and being forced to take their word for it.

    Android phones running ICS or JB have this capability built in; there also are apps in Google Play for Androids (such as Onavo Count).
    My experience is that my phone and my installed Onavo Count track quite well with what's reported on my MyVerizon account's data usage.
    Onavo Count is available for iPhones, and Windows Phones have Data Sense to track data usage.

  • Is there an app to track internet usage of other apps?

    I know you can check your overall usage from your phone. But is there an app which tracks how much I use on specific apps, GPS, Safari, Youtube etc.?

    There are some apps in the app store that track data usage, but I don't believe they can track by app, only whether it's cellular data or WiFi. But do a search anyway.

  • App for Data Usage

    Is there an app, besides Onavo, that tracks data usage and tells which app is using the most data?

    I am not yet aware of a data monitor app of this type.
    For you data, anytime you have WiFi connected all of your data (AS, browser, etc) will always prefer the WiFi connection over the mobile network.

  • Tracking internet usage-Flash AS3

    I am facing a problem how to track data usage (i.e download & upload rate) as well as to keep track of total size of downloaded content right from the establishment of net connection.Clearly explaining we have developed an application where we want to display internet usage..It would be great if someone would help in this issue....

    Thanks a ton!  Yeah, I didn't know about any of this until I had reason for legitimate concern.  People should be aware of what's available.  Someone intent on tracking you won't mind paying bluecava to do it for them...
    I'll definitely be updating my browser as well.  However, Lawrence, I did find during my research that bluecava DOES NOT operate based on cookies.  It uses your IP address to consistently track patterns of behavior, even
    within multiple devices of one household, so that deterring the tracking is not as simple as turning off cookies to a site.  (See screenshot below from bluecava.com)
    If you go to the bluecava site's privacy policy, you can actually opt-out, however, blogs have criticized bluecava for not explaining exactly what happens when a user opts-out.  It may be beyond our control...

  • My daughter's phone racks up data usage every 12 hours, twice a day, even though she isn't using it. Anybody know why this would be happening or how to track it/stop it?

    My daughter's phone racks up data usage every 12 hours, twice a day, even though she isn't using it. Anybody know why this would be happening or how to track it/stop it?

        Its all good, TimN8128! Mrhelper is corret with regards to making sure that mobile data is turned off when on WiFi or when not connected to WiFi, if you do not want the phone to access data services to update or refresh app services. These applications can all be configured by going to Settings and reviewing all apps that appear in that area. You can also configure a bit further by going to Settings>Cellular.

  • How to track total call duration & data usage for ...

    How do I track my total call & data usage for Nokia Lumia 620. I had search for datasense from the store however unable to find? Is there any other applications that can be use to track.

    Datasense requires network support so if you can't see it your network doesn't support it. Some networks have their own apps in the store for monitoring data and some have mobile websites for that purpose.
    The only other app that can do it is "call credit" but it doesn't support every network, install it and see if yours is supported.

  • Track iPhone based on data usage

    Is there any way to see where an iPhone last connected to the internet?
    My iPhone was stolen and I'm trying to find it. I can see the data usage on my AT&T account after the time of the theft, is there a way to find where it connected at?

    If you didn't enable the Find my Phone feature on your phone, there's no way to track it.  Call AT&T and make sure you report the phone stolen so your account can be deactivated.

  • Accuracy of Usage Tracking Data

    Have anybody used and compared the Usage Tracking data with actual user experience?
    I'm noticing that the Usage tracking is not being logged consistently for all the users. Some of the entries are missing. What can the reason be for these missing entries.
    When I compare the Elapsed Time from Session logs with the TOTAL_TIME_SEC from Usage tracking that does not alwasy match up. Is ther any difference between those 2?
    What is the best measure to track the performance of the application that will give acurate measure the actual user experience?
    Any help with shading some light on overall Usage Tracking accuracy will be a great help.
    Thanks!

  • 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.
