When Verizon overhauled its data offerings with the introduction of new Share Everything plans, the data monitoring widget offered as part of the My Verizon Mobile app took a summer vacation. The holiday was brief, however, as a new update restores functionality to the widget while providing support for VZW’s sharable data plans. A caveat is that the widget will no longer automatically update in the background. Users will need to manually refresh.
For Verizon subscribers with older Android devices lacking Ice Cream Sandwich’s built-in data monitoring the widget should come in handy, especially for those using a shared plan or with a limited monthly data allowance. Users with unlimited data have less reason to keep an eye on consumption, but checking in on the data totals never hurts.

Apparently not for the Galaxy Nexus version….
Not working on my Nexus either, maybe because i am running JB?
The widget never went away. Bad reporting.
it didnt go away, it just didnt work correctly for a week or two
Always worked fine for me. Never had an issue.
then you never upgraded my verizon… because it went away.
There never was an update that removed it. App was always up to date.
Actually the update at the end of June changed it to say “Important Message” instead of reporting your usage.
Galaxy Nexus version also does not work at all either. So I guess I will be using the built in ICS one.
It’s stupid that it doesn’t update on it’s own. That was the whole point of having that ugly widget on my screen..
