About Network Log
Requires rooted devices.
ATTENTION: Some versions of Android, especially on Samsung stock ROMs, may have restrictive SELinux policies that may prevent this app from working. We are working hard to resolve or provide workarounds for this.
In the meantime, if you find this app is not working due to permission denied errors when you in fact do have root, it is likely due to a prohibitive SELinux policy being enforced. You can disable SELinux enforcing by executing 'setenforce 0' in a root shell.
Please do not leave a bad rating/review due to the decision of some device ROMs to enforce restrictive SELinux policies. As mentioned, we are working hard to resolve/workaround these issues. Feel free to use the in-app 'Report Bug/Feedback' option to provide useful information to help us out.
Please do not use the reviews to request features or report issues. If you have a request for Language Translations, features or want to report a bug, use the in-app Report Bug/Feedback option or send e-mail to pragma78@gmail.com.
Wondering when and to where your Android apps are connecting across the Internet? Look no further! Network Log is for you!
Network Log monitors iptables-logging to display a real-time list of which apps are making network connections, and provides statistics about those app connections.
★ Real-time log display
The log tab shows the network packets being transmitted and their details such as:
* source and destination addresses/ports
* network protocol and interface
* bytes transmitted
* timestamp
★ Real-time network usage statistics
The Apps tab lists installed applications along with network usage statistics such as:
* total packets and bytes sent
* active network throughput speed in Bps/Kbps/Mbps
* timestamp of last connection
* list of all the unique connections made by each app
* sortable and filterable packets/bytes counters
★ Real-time connection notifications
The statusbar icon's up/down arrows will highlight when upload/download traffic occurs, and the notification drop-down shade displays the connection throughput speed in Kbps.
You can also configure toast pop-up notifications on a per-app basis that will pop-up a temporary notification containing connection details no matter which app you are in.
★ Graphs
Click an app in either tab to see time-lines of its connections.
Select the 'Apps Timeline' menu item to see an over-all time-line of all apps.
Adjustable interval from 1 ms to 48 hours for summing data:
* to see each packet, set to 1 ms
* for Kbps, set to 1 second
* for Kb-per-hour, set to 1 hour; etc
Adjustable pinch-zoomable and scrollable graphs.
Note: While the app itself is designed to use minimal CPU/battery, you can further reduce the CPU/battery use by exiting the app after starting the logging service.

Very impressed. But seems some apps never showed in the list. Could you pls add netstat function? A folded log view of consecutive traffics of the same app would be better for overview

My phone Le 1s Eco doesn't have a data usage tracker. And then I came across this!This offers more than I wanted! The UI could get a bit better though.

Works fine on my old rooted stock gingerbread android 2.3.6, but not on my rooted stock jelly bean 4.2.2 .(No problem with root permissions but app pop up says iptables not supported) Will leave installed in the hope of a future fix, since it is such an excellent app.

First logger that worked on my phone. Was actually easy to use and gave me the details I needed. Can't comment beyond that. Thanks.

if I could give ten stars, I would. With this app, I feel I have more control over my phone than ever before, yet it just gives real-time information about what app connects where with how many bytes of data. just more information, no app blocking, yet I feel liberated.

Bummer permission denied it says. But I'm sure its a great app. Can't wait to use it later.

could have more info but yes it does watch traffic on your device. not just within itself like others are doing limiting you to not finding what app x is asking for etc. perhaps I can see the stream request from an app getting a video stream and passing its authentication. ty.

This is one of my favorite netowrking apps the only thing I want to know is can I actually look at the traffic in a similar manner to wireshark? I know I can log and export the connections (such as the IP an app is connecting to) but is there a way to see the actual packets? I would love the ability to export as a pcap or something.

Great job Devs. We must have similar brains because this is perfect for my data/stats thirsty world.

It sure would have been helpful if the author had specified that the app requires root access

This is exactly what everyone needs installed to keep track of what apps are stealing your data and personal info. I found a somewhat 'legitimate' app making remote connections to their personal DSL IP in NY, hmmm that shouldn't be happening

1) Why root? I think the same app with the same UI can be done using the internal VPN tunnel technique. 2) adding possibility of reading the contents of the packets. 3) decryption of the packet using SSL certificates. However, this app is the best so far in showing data flow of traffic and per packet analysis.

Its a good app that does what it says it will. Let's you see what your firewall is not blocking. I would add a feature to consolidate entries to and from the same IP address. The log files are too cumbersome.even a five minute log takes for ever to scroll through.

Extremely useful, specially when you need network usage info without wanting to go down to packet sniffing level. Thanks dev for the good work !

Appears to log activity normally for approx 5 mins but then stops and requires logging service to be toggled to restart. Log file size is set correctly ie plenty big enough. All other view options have been tweaked but still no joy. Rooted lg g3 running stock lollipop with xposed. Any ideas?

I mean, I can understand that some more these functions may be root, but cab anything be logged without it?

This app helped me diagnose a recent problem that I had on my phone: Every time my phone reboots it downloaded several hundreds of MBs, on Wifi as well as on data. After diagnosing the problem I was able to download a firewall and block the data-hungry processes when on data. Thanks developer! It's amazing that this app is for free! :)
