sync - How can I know which apps are currently connecting to the Internet?


I have a Samsung Spica running Eclair (rooted). I've noticed on a number of occasions that inspite of the Autosync option turned off, the sync icon appears in the notification bar. By default, Gmail, Calendar & Contacts are set to sync whenever the Autosync option is turned on.


I don't use any scheduler app like Locale or Tasker.


Is there an app or some way to see which app is connecting to the Internet at any given time? Or can someone verify if this sort of behaviour of the sync icon appearing is normal?




Answer



OS Monitor does that. Shows the name of the app, and the IP address of the connection (including a WHOIS with a map when you click on it).


EDIT: I should mention that the sync icon TYPICALLY indicates a system-level sync. Do you have every item (GMail, Contacts, Calendar, Facebook) explicitly turned off in the settings?
