FAQ

How do I create a plan?

Advance to the mobile or roaming plan creation screen. Select a plan and make sure you set a plan type, a starting and renewal date, and a plan limit. Once all fields are complete, press the back button.

Why does My Data Manager count less data on Samsung devices running on Android 10?

There was a technical issue on the earlier Android 10 version. We suggest updating your Samsung device to the latest security update of Android 10. This should fix the issue. 

Why is all the app usage showing up as "OS Services"?

If you're using a version of My Data Manager older than 7.3.0, please upgrade to the latest version. This fixes a known issue with app usage tracking on the latest versions of Android. If you're already on version 7.3.0 or later, please check to make sure that your device is set to the correct time. If you manually change the clock on your device, My Data Manager will not be able to fetch and display your app usage correctly.

How do I reset the app?

Go to your Android Settings > Apps > My Data Manager. Tap on ‘Clear data’. This will clear all your plan settings and usage history. The next time you launch the app, it will be as if you’re using it for the first time.

How does roaming detection work?

The app detects if you are roaming based on the country that you’re in. If you’re using data in your home country, the data will be counted as mobile, if you’re using data outside your country it is counted as roaming.

What is Streaming Media?

Media apps like YouTube and Slacker Radio use the operating system to stream video or music on their behalf. If My Data Manager can’t identify which app requested the media, the usage is tracked as Streaming Media.

I’m starting a new prepaid plan. How do I start from zero usage?

When setting up the new plan’s starting date, tap on the ‘Now’ button. This will start you off from the current minute, instead of including all data from the current hour.

My carrier shows that I used more/less data than what My Data Manager shows. Why is that?

These are the most common reasons why this may occur:

   - Some carriers round up your usage, whereas the app counts without rounding.

   - The app assumes that your plan rolls over at 12:00 AM on your billing day. However, your plan rollover hour may be at a different time. This is common when your carrier is located in another time zone. You can change your rollover hour from the plan settings screen.

   - The app only sees what your phone can see. In all network communication, there is some lost data that needs to be resent. If it took five attempts for data to reach your phone, your carrier may count the five attempts, but the app would only see the successful transfer.

   - Your plan may allow unlimited usage for some apps, services, or web pages.

I just started my plan cycle, but my forecast usage is really high. Why is that?

Your forecast usage is based on your average usage over the past few days. If you used a lot of data near the end of your previous plan cycle, then your forecast is calculated assuming that your heavy data use may continue. If you stay within your daily budget for several days in a row, then your forecast should dip back below your plan limit.

What is the persistent notification?

The persistent notification conveniently shows your current usage in your notification tray. It also improves the accuracy of the app by making the app less likely to be killed by the OS when available memory is low.

How do I adjust my total data usage?

Use the ‘Data used’ feature in the settings screen to set the total amount of data you’ve used so far. This feature is especially useful when you install the app partway through your plan cycle.

How can I find the first day of my billing cycle?

This is often printed on your bill or accessible by viewing your account online. If not, you can ask your service provider.

What are alarms and how do they work?

Alarms alert you when you’ve used the configured amount of data. This way you can prevent going over your mobile data limit and having to pay additional costs.

For example, if you have a 500MB plan you could set the following alarms:

   - Alarm #1 for 250MB so that you know when you are halfway through your usage.

   - Alarm #2 for 450MB so that you’re notified when you’re almost at your plan limit.

A Daily Alarm will let you know when you’ve used the configured amount each day.

My Data Manager has stopped counting data and the app is closing by itself. How can I prevent this?

Recent smartphone operating systems come with a battery-saving and optimisation feature. This feature can shut down My Data Manager, resulting in the app not counting data usage. We recommend you disable this optimization feature to have My Data Manager counting the data and keep you informed about your usage. You can disable the battery optimisation by going to Settings → Battery → App Launch → My Data Manager. There you can select ‘manage manually’.

Why My Data Manager is no longer working on my Samsung phone with Android 9?

My Data Manager needs to run in the background to count data but if the app gets listed under battery optimization then it gets killed in the background and no longer counts data. 

ANDROID 8 : Go to Settings > Device Maintenance > Battery > Battery Usage > More Options (Displayed as three vertical dots in the right most part) > Optimize battery usage > Select 'All Apps' in the Dropdown which says 'Apps Not Optimized' and switch off the optimisation for MDM. 

ANDROID 9 : Go to settings > Search for 'Battery Optimize' > Click on Battery optimize > Select "All Apps' in the dropdown which says "Not Optimized" > Switch Off Battery Optimization for MDM

I have a question not mentioned here, or a suggestion on how to improve the app.

Why My Data Manager is using a lot of data? 

If you have the App Tracker enabled, My Data Manager might appear to use more data than it actually does in iOS settings. The App Tracker uses a VPN configuration to calculate data usage of other apps on your device.
