I don't know when it started. Maybe after the update to 3.x:

When I open the data counter menu, the following table tells me that I haven't transfered a single bit (sent & received) in the last days. I resetted the counter three weeks ago. It just shows "0 B" in my home network and for Roaming. I actually have a 1GB mobile data contract and I use it constantly, last month my ISP told me that I had ~ 300MB of traffic. Still, my Jolla did not show anything in the counter.

Other peoples reported here that the counter is actually unreliable but I did not see that somebody has the same problem of not counting at all...

The WiFi counter shows values different from 0 bytes, but I didn't check if they are valid - I only care for the mobile data.

So, what can I do to fix this?

Update: It turns out from the comments given below that values are shown when mobile data mode is enabled, i.e. when Jolla is not WiFi mode.

Yes, I have the same Problem with Jolla1. There is only a spinning Wheel and after ~30min still no Sign of a Statistic. Could be since v. 3.0.3.10 (Hossa) but I am not sure. Stock Jolla Software no Android-Stuff. Ciao Walter

Deactivate the airplane mode then it will work at least for me...

Then you are looking while using wifi!?! If you are using mobile data, you get your data counter for mobile data whith actual numbers. I think this is pretty annoying. I encountered this misbehavior approx. 6 months ago and was hoping since, that this would be fixed soon.

I recognize this. On my phone (Xperia), the counter only works when I have 'Mobile data' activated, otherwise it shows 0 bytes. Not serious but annoying.

@Lars Maria Interesting find! I can confirm that I have the same problem – I need to have mobile data enabled to actually see numbers. However, I can only access the data counters through the entry in the top-edge menu, if I try opening the page from the Settings app, I only get the spinner as well.

I have experienced this issue for quite a while, probably since around 3.0.2 iirc.
