Network Log
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 [email protected].
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.

Great until it stops showing the log entries it's taking (about 10 minutes after installing). Uninstall/reinstall shows the missing entries and then it stops again.
Does exactly what it says. People rating 1 stars don't even know how or why to use this app. I can finally see how my mylticasting wifi killing my phones battery by constantly receiving packets using this app. I love it
Doesnt work...... and what is with it saying the German translation stuff. We do not see anything about that.
Says update not available for this version. If outdated, remove from Google play.
best app,If You download it you use your phone Quickly and Soft
Requires root. They didn't bother to mention that on the description...
outdated and needs root / superuser access
Works for a while but it gets crashed by Crs
star first, the download. a little time worth checking this free apps :)
not working on android 10
logs ech network connection with all info you need
Root requirement should be stated in app name (root)
Super app. thanks
Root should be in the title. Junk.
It is the first time the right wing
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.
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! :)
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.
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.
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.
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.
It sure would have been helpful if the author had specified that the app requires root access
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.
Extremely useful, specially when you need network usage info without wanting to go down to packet sniffing level. Thanks dev for the good work !
How interesting this is and in this time. It is a reminder of Orwell's "Ninety Eight-Four". Clearly "the devil is in the details" when using applications for what ever purpose, what ever time and includes whom ever. This is amazing and will get "those kids" to take another look of how applications work in the background.
