[APP][2.2+/4.0+] Network Counter

Network Counter. The easiest way to monitoring of wireless network traffic. Keep a track on your monthly network data usage. Now with Android 4.x support and widgets!


Features include:
- Android 2.2, 2.3 and 4.x support
- Data traffic usage statistics for Wi-Fi and mobile networks
- Alarm for Wi-Fi and mobile data traffic usage
- Network statistics for currently active (running) applications
- Ability to backup and restore of data traffic usage database
Additional Premium Content (in-app purchase):
- Disabled advertisements (Ads)
- Widgets (incl. lock screen) for monitoring of data usage

And much more is planned for future releases!

Data stats gathering is done via our background service which has been designed for a low power consumption and supports device reboots (not including hard resets or direct battery pulls) and network disconnects.

Note, A2SD (SD card support) functionality is not possible due to necessary background service. However, if it's your preference, there is no limitation to use A2SD+ (ext partition).

Requires:
- Mobile / Cell or Wi-Fi HW module in your phone / tablet
- Android's TrafficStats API supported via your phone's ROM

In case of any feature suggestion or a bug report, please, contact us on our e-mail (contact@mapeapps.com) or here on XDA.

Network Counter requires Android 2.2 and higher, but Android 4.x is highly recommended. All the screenshots are taken from Android 4.2 device.

Seems to be a great app but it does not show any applications using network on the Dell Streak 5.

Strange.

What Android version and ROM do you have? Do you get following message on Apps tab: 'No data available. There is currently either no running application using the network or your cell phone...'?

Everything else works (cell data and wi-fi data usage)?

Data usage works for Cell/Mobile - don't know for wifi as I have not tested. I'm on Android 2.2. - yes, the message is as you've written : 'No data available. There is currently either no running application using the network or your cell phone...'

What ROM do you have?

If you have time... send us e-mail on contact@mapeapps.com, will send you some debug build to check what is going on.

And 1.2.1 just hit the market.

- Remembering state of Data usage tab when starting up.
- Minor fix in startup routine.

Thanks for all the feedback!

If you don't mind to help... Attaching a debug version for Streak users and those who are not sure about the Dialer usage.

You will probably need to uninstall the market version first (not sure it will let you upgrade it).

When NC is launched, go to Applications tab and then click Home button and launch aLogCat (or similar) and post here values for:

TrafficStats.getMobileRxBytes():
TrafficStats.getMobileTxBytes():
TrafficStats.getTotalRxBytes():
TrafficStats.getTotalTxBytes():

and those with Dialer doubts check line:

getTrafficUIDS() processName: ...

Find the one which relates with the Dialer process.

Been streaming last.fm for over an hour. Amount of total traffic displayed correctly, but Network Counter won't show that all these megabytes were eaten by the mediaserver process. (Motorola Defy on Froyo)

Request: could your app display the amount of data per app since the last time I launched Network Counter? A "since last reset" view per app with a reset button that doesn't wipe the entire history would work too.

Thanks for the feedback. Will check what we can do.

Current app tab works that it shows the total in / out per application (UID) since phone's restart.
