Im new to android so please forgive my ignorance. In ICS when I track data usage on wifi or 3g I notice that the entry 'Android OS' always seems to have the most data usage.
Am i correct in my assumption that all data usage by apps in the background get lumped into that one entry. If true that's annoying because how can you accurately judge how much data is really bring used by a single app?
Try My Data Manager, it is a free app that collects data usage directly from your phone. The difference is, My Data Manager provides usage statistics for individual apps on your phone. This is an excellent way to identify which app or apps are data hogs.
After installation, enter the details of your data plan into My Data Manager.
Once it begins accumulating data, you'll see a list of apps, sorted by their data usage. The widget for My Data Manager displays usage data for mobile, roaming, and Wi-Fi.
There you go. Now you can keep track of your data usage
yes, the OS uses a TON of data to work
you can try the android market to get a nice task killer/data manager (:
personally, i recommend super toolbox 10+ by aipopDev
