madeinheaven Posted October 6, 2011 Share Posted October 6, 2011 3G Watchdog Keeps an Eye on Your Data UsageToday I’ll write about the application which saves me money by constantly keeping eye on my Internet data usage (3G, Edge, GPRS). This nifty app comes from Richard Gruet whom I’d like to say thanks for making this application!Let’s start with the review.This is the welcome screen:3G Watchdog welcome screenAs you see – it shows (in % and MB) how much I’ve spent of my monthly quota. If I keep my current usage constant I will use only 21.6% of my quota, so I’ll be fine (I believe no one likes to pay those monthly overages).Also, on this screen you see how much data is received (downloaded) and transmitted (uploaded) and, of course – total usage. Then we have a quick look on daily, weekly and monthly usage. More than enough data for the welcome screen!Let’s see what happens when I press Settings button:Settings 1/4 - Here is where you set your monthly quota (in MB).Settings 2/4 - Alerts! Warn me over 75% quota! Settings 3/4 - Refresh every hour (recommended), every minute, every 5 minutes, etc.Settings 4/4 - Widget settings. Show quota % used, show quota data used, alert when roaming.As you see from the pictures above – 3G Watchdog is fully customizable.There is more, much more!I've pressed the MENU button on my HTC DesireQuota traffic history - last 12 recorded quota periods (months)Traffic usage for the last 31 recorded days. Averages are on all recorded days.You can manually enter quota counters or you can reset all counters to zero.3G Watchdog is a wonderful application and it is a must for every Android phone! It accurately monitors your data usage (3G, GPRS, Edge) and warns you when you’re near your quota.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2b3KAn5_RSkDownload LinkDownload: Site: http://www.mirrorcreator.com/ Sharecode: /files/1RBC3MW5/3G_Watchdog_0.rar_links [?] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RealNeo Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 I use ZDbox on my Nexus One, it's pretty useful. The only downside is in zdbox, it doesn't turn off your 3g if you reach your limit. But it's free and it does a lot more. Timed silence, protect your apps with password, task killer, cache cleaner. I've exchanged 3 programs with this.Giv it a try https://market.android.com/details?id=com.zdworks.android.toolbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
