Roiding Nettraffic, Keep an Eye on your Internet Traffic

Posted on 03 February 2009 by Hatem Ben Yacoub

Android and G1 provides definitely a new mobile experience and I used to browse internet before, check my email, but never had applications that use internet in the background to update contacts, check gmail or gtalk instant messages regularly. Today’s applications – Roiding Nettraffic is a great helper to keep an eye on your daily traffic usage.

OHM Review

Roiding NettrafficI have personally a 1Gig monthly internet plan on my mobile which I find more than enough to navigate, check email, watch some youtube videos, find locations on gmaps … I have also an USSD code that I can run to check my current traffic usage with my operator, but using Roiding Nettraffic I can get much more information especially 3G and wifi connections.

The only issue I found is that you can monitor traffic usage only from the day you have installed the applications. I have a 9Mb usage in 6hours shown in the application while I’m currently at 885MB with my internet plan. You cannot monitor previous traffic because there is no information available about it, but it’s still useful to track future connections.

If I’ll be able to set Free Traffic, Current monthly usage from provider (for current month), the Starting Date, and then the application calculates the missed data for the current month that will be very useful. Because I always ask myself the same question : When do my plan expire ?

NetTraffic provides you with many useful information for example the interface used, connection duration, speed and even the IP address.  Then by setting a notification threshold, you will get a notification once you exceed the traffic mentioned.

There is an experimental feature that make NetTraffic enable to connect mobile network. It didn’t work at all for me making the application stop unexpectedly, probably we will get working for next release.
