Get data usage WP8

traffic, windows-phone-8

Solution

Unfortunately, there's no API to get the overall traffic usage of the phone. Or at least, none available to third-party developers (there's probably some kind of internal API since Data Sense is able to display that information).

Problem

How can I get data usage programmatically on my WP8? I found class `DataUsage` with properties `BytesReceived` and `BytesSent`. But on MSDN I found the following: Remarks Windows Phone 8 This API is not implemented and will throw an exception if called. Perhaps, somebody knows how can I get the traffic usage (for cellular/Wifi connection)?
