    Dear All,

    I would like to know how to clear the records of the data usage.

    Currently I have a Samsung Galaxy S III.
    Under "Connections"> "Data Usage:
    I will be able to see the data used by the apps.

    Example:
    Chrome: 53.5mb
    Google Play Store: 12 mb
    Maps: 10 Mb.
    Yahoo Messenger: 5 Mb

    What I would like to do is to be able to individually select and clear/reset the records. Example: I want to clear the data usage record of the Chrome. How do i do it?

    Thanks in advance.

      Hi Eddie,
      Thanks for coming.
      As far as I know, the data usage automatically resets at the end of your billing cycle. And of course, if you don't mind performing factory reset, it'll reset your data usage, but please note that it'll also erase all of your data, settings, third-party apps.
