Hi,

Please recommend me a free app from the Android market to track data usage per month.

Thanks.

Nope, it's not too heavy on battery :)

I'm using it. Not too much battery consuming app.

currently my concern is this MIUI themed rom. eating my battery @ 1% per 5min.

well, 3G watchdog doesn't record data used over wifi. maybe the pro version will.

Yeah, 3G Watchdog doesn't record data over WiFi, don't know pro version will do that or not.

Sorry for the late reply. I will install 3G watchdog and we'll see if it also drains the battery too much.

Although 3G watchdog is good but has some limitations. I have tried many apps like this but concluded that instead of having "many" apps why not have a single one which includes many other functions too.

NetQin Android Booster is one such app. Apart from many other useful features it also tells you about the data usage per month with flexibilities such as to set monthly quota (it rings alarm if you overshoot it), select due date etc. And yes, it captures wi-fi data too. :)
Just give it a try, it is completely free so no harm in trying. It also has great task manager, file manager, call/sms manager (extra installation needed) etc.
