Is there a way to know data usage for mobile internet?

[Lew_Alcindor]

This is in relation to the data cap policy of SMART.
I've been using SMART 3g for some time as an alternative to the uber slow internet (around 10 kb/s) in this particular State U hahaha

But starting this year, the 3g service has matched the slow internet connection in our office. I was thinking maybe I exceeded my monthly limit and was downgraded to 2g. But it has been more than a month already and 3g is still slow.

What do you think?

^^^ imhi, smart is not implementing the data cap policy like the stupid globe.

But if you want to check it most android phones have bandwidth monitor. Just tick settings.

One thing I learned from globe is to replace the sim with a newer model.

i am using huwaei g525, you can set data usage limit through the settings menu, you can also view your data usage per day or per month

Alam ko 4g ung balak lagyan ng cap ng smart and mag throttle to 3g. And as mentioned hindi pa ata to implemented.

[brainmafia_310]

^^^ sorry ung 4g naka cap na sa smart. Tama ka sir erick yhrottle down to 3g. Di tulad ng tangang globe 2g agad.

For those using tablets and smartphones, you can help minimize data use by using the "reduce data usage" feature. This will compress incoming data so it will use less bandwidth.

My brother in law said Smart is upgrading their system and 3g service is affected.
But I found a solution to my problem. I put my sim in my tablet. And voila, instead of 3g, I have H signal. Faster than my 3g.

meron an sa settings,pero nabanggit na nila,pwede mo rin i set ang options mo.
or beter use 3g watch dog pro,mas intensive ito mag monitor unlike sa in phone settings,

ultimately since capping ang issue,pwede mo din i adjust ung usage mo in itself,

like facebook,instead of using the app,you can just use the native browser,same results.mas data intensive ung app,since every now and then mag chceck yan for updates.if you still want to use the app,i suggest you install greenify(pero dapat rooted ka,not sure kung me version na silang para sa hindi rooted) and hibernate apps,this will save you battery life and data.since you can hibernate the apps that use data,downside wala na ung updates lagi mo.mag uupdate lang siya pag open mo ung app mismo.
and ioff ung data kung di naman gagamitin.

Samsung phones have their own way of limiting data usage. Doon sa dafa usage ng settings, check mobile dara and choose set data limit.

afaik globe recommends the network counter app to keep track of your usage. i don't think you can limit usage with it, but you can set alarms for when you've uploaded/download x MB

Chrome for mobile has data compression Para mas mababa data usage.

Sa chrome for Android punta ka sa Settings - Advance - Bandwith Management - Reduce Data Usage.

downside niyan sir e ung data lang sa chrome ang compressed.
mas compressed pa nga ang data ng opera,sa opinion ko.

di lang naman kais ung active browsing ang counted pati na ung background data,like sa gmail apps,email apps,maps etc.

dunno,i feel that pages render a lot faster on opera than on any mobile browser.

because ever since mobile data on phones were utilized opera still has a better compression system on data and still renders ok,unlike any other browser,
kahit ako opera pa din...
mas swabe,pero pag me flash content na..balik sa default browser...
