About Bytes Insight

Want to know how many bytes were actually used by sharing a photo on Instagram, refreshing the timeline in Facebook, or a full sync of Google Currents? Bytes Insight give you instant observation for short-term network usage, directly on the status-bar!

When network is being actively used, a notification with numerical status-bar indicator will show up and constantly update itself. The indicator will be hidden if network is idle, but you can still find all the statistics in the notification panel.

New version 2.0 brings per-app insights

Besides the overall usage, a new application-level usage statistics is added in verison 2.0! App recently consuming network traffic will be shown directly on the notification. On Android 4.1+, a list of recent traffic consuming apps is included in the expanded notification.

* Light-weight focused implementation in extremely low footprint. Start-on-demand background service for only 3M approximately (vary with devices and Android versions)
* Absolutely ZERO memory and battery consumption when network is inactive.
* Hide status-bar indicator when network is not being actively used.
* Selectively monitor only cellular (mobile network) data traffic or all network traffic.
* Per-app usage statistics within expandable notification. (expandable only on Android 4.1+)
* Minor traffic (sensitivity configurable) will not be notified.
* Click the notification to reset the traffic statistics (on Android pre-4.1) or additional actions on notification for quick reset and settings (on Android 4.1+).

I don't understand. What is Rx & Tx means?

Simply Outstanding

Q70%

How did I miss this all these days? The only flaw is, the reset button appears only if there are no other notifications running, even though there's plenty of space left downwards. Please fix this.

Q70%
by Q####:

Pressing reset does nothing so measurement is useless. Worked fine in older android version

Q70%
by Q####:

Handy for keeping track of data consumption on a per app basis in easy to see location, but is bit unreliable with kitkat and CM11.

Its nice app but can u add network speed indicator also i.e. download/upload speed. Then it will be much better for us.. very nice app btw.

Would appreciate more development on this

Z70%
by Z####:

Does what it says but while downloading an app from the playstore it stops counting data for playstore and starts counting for media and while watching YouTube videos it counts data for 'Unkown' app.. That's not what I want..

N70%
by N####:

It shows the data in Kbps which is a good thing to track the data usage... But once a large data been used up it shows ??... From that point it is impossible to track. Please fix it... If the limit of Kbps usage to be shown is used up and hence ?? are being shown symbolically... I would suggest to show the further usage in Kbps/Mbps but data used in Mbps...

This app provides the perfect amount of info without any hassle, dissapears when not in use. Excellent job

U70%
by U####:

App does what it claims in description, it's simple but works great and does not affect device performance... It's essential for me... SUGGESTIONS/REQUESTS:- Better if it can show current network speed,Manage data pack(active data pack, used data,remaining data), Log data usage,... Thank you for providing such a good app for free...

Expandable notification with stats is nice but status bar icon usually displays '??' after prolonged use. App sure is begging for an update (since 2013?)..

Seems to be working okay on CM 12.1 (5.1.1); but the floating window never appears. Is there something I'm missing?

Using this since JB. Never worked on KK. But now on LP and MM it is back! Love this very much.

U70%

Its always bothered me how out of control things feel on android. You never know what's running and doing what, this helps change that. Really lightweight as a bonus!

by U####:

Other than that, I can't open anything(clicking the notification opens the settings menu, as does clicking the app). Sure, it listed how many KB it took to open the Play Store, but that's it, it showed nothing else. It seems altogether a useless waste of space that either needs work or to die a slow, horrible death(the kind all bad apps deserve).

Low on resources & does exactly as claimed. The real time monitoring of data rate/usage on a per app basis I've found very useful & insightful. Mobile ~ Wi-Fi (or both), this reveals the background data Tx/Rx use & rate. It can be at times surprisingly high from some inconspicuous apps. I can then select them, if necessary, to be Greenified & cut off the wakeup paths/hooks triggering the data Tx/Rx. Thank you.
