Wifi Data Usage for specific connections

[Kangdroid]

Hi folks,

Just wondering if someone can point me in the direction of an app to solve my problem.

I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 Wi-Fi only and am using my iPhone (I know...) as a personal hotspot.

It all works fine but in order to not be charged extra for my data usage I need to keep the tablet data used through the phone down to under 1GB per day. This is easy enough to do as I am only using it on the train for a few minutes at a time and not doing any huge downloads but I want to be able to monitor the usage that goes through the personal hotspot connection in isolation.

Obviously I have the Wi-Fi at home and other places that I use and I want to keep them distinct.

I am using "My Data Manager" but there seems to be no way to set it to monitor individual wifi connections.

Does anyone know of an app (or a setting for MDM) that can allow me to do this?

Any help much appreciated.

Welcome to the forum

I'm fairly certain you pined down the problem. You tablet is communicating over WiFi, phone or no phone. I am not aware of any app that would be able to tell the difference or separate it out.

Has anything changed since this April 2013 post? I too need an app that will distinguish between WiFi connections. I use an Internet-on-the-Go hotspot when away from free wifi, so it's the only one that needs monitored. It would be great to be able to specify which internet connection(s) to monitor. I would guess that very few people need to monitor their free wifi connections.
