Hey all,

Dumb question here but first android phone so need your help.

I only have 500mb of data allowance with vodafone UK and just recently got a text from them saying im near my limit for the month.

Being at home with the phone I use an app called quick settings to disable mobile data and then enable wifi.

But just used network monitor app and it says that I've not used any wifi.

Can anyone help with what Im doing wrong as dont want to go over the allowance. Coming from a BB never had this issue as they ZERO apps worth downloading :)

Cheers
[LG Optimus 2x] stelo81:
I use Network Counter.

If you want to know how much different programs waste, you can look at TrafficStats.
[LG Optimus 2x] doncoop:
Thanks will give both a go. My worrying thing is android market doesnt seem to use the wifi when downloading even with mobile data disabled.
[LG Optimus 2x] thatguychris:
Maybe your wifi sleep policy is wrong, go to settings - network & wireless and go to wifi/wireless settings and tap lower left touch button at bottom of phone and select advanced once in that menu you should see wifi sleep policy select that and set it to never, it means the wifi is always on even when phone is locked. Hope this helps.
[LG Optimus 2x] doncoop:
@stelo81

Thanks for the 2 programs suggested. Seems network monitor didn't show anything correctly.

With wifi on and data disabled your 2 suggestions show wifi kicking in.

Just gotta remember to switch on before downloading!!!

Thanks again

Hi all, I am having only 2 to 3 bars signal strength on my g2x, but my other phones have full signal !!! The worse issues are not able to receive phone call, no missing call note, or making call after the phone went in idle for short time from 45 minutes to 2 hours. It will works after I reboot the phone, then it normal.
[Desire General] SheerazRaza:
Which one of the four Desires is best?

HTC Desire or HTC Desire S or HTC Desire HD or HTC Desire Z?

Comparison table drawn here: http://www.geekword.net/htc-desire-s-vs-htc-desire-hd-vs-htc-desire-z-vs-htc-desire/
[Desire General] TheGhost1233:
Personal preferences except for the normal desire, that one is old.

If you want big screen HD.

If you want physical keyboard Z.

No keyboard and 4" to big S.
[Desire General] dzumagos:
both desire Z and desire S loose against desire HD. desire S is simply 'refreshed' desire for a lot of money, it is better to go for HD instead. desire Z compared to desire HD also looses. original desire... well if i was to buy a phone now i would not choose it because of it lacking true multitouch.

long story short - for me, the Desire HD is the winner here (and about its size... it is not that much bigger compared to other devices listed here, and it sports best specification at a reasonable price)
[Desire General] n7of9:
Desire S for me...i've had the Bravo since it was released and i still love it (i also had the Desire Z for a few weeks)

4.3" screens are too big for girl's hands, so if i were to upgrade it would be to the Desire S for the ff camera and more RAM
[Desire General] Zhenya13:
I really want a physical keyboard. So I guess than Desire Z is for me. My gf has HTC Evo Shift 4g (HTC Knight). Its the same screen size, but has a slide out keyboard. Perfect!

Unfortunately, although my carries has great service and price, it sucks at bringing new phones to customers. After all we did not get the Desire until late August 2010.
[Desire General] n7of9:
i found the Desire Z way too heavy
[Desire General] Lothaen:
I just wish that the original Desire had more internal memory (and maybe a tad more ram)

the S's non-physical keys is a shame - but the S / Original for me.

front facing camera i can live without as I never used it on the Blackstone
[Desire General] FlatOutRU:
Desire s i think
[Desire General] expl0de:
I would vote for Desire S. It's screen is smaller than HD's, but it has the same pixel count, so the images will look better. It also has front camera, which will be useful in near future. The hardware in both phones is the same, but since S is newer, it may be longer supported by HTC.

If there is a senseles phone, it is Incredible S, which is Desire HD with front camera and doesn't worth its money.
[Desire General] sebouh00:
I actually bought the original Desire a month ago and I can honestly say its the best thing I have ever had. Even though its a year old now, its still awesome. I even flashed it with the latest RCMIX HD rom so it now has all the features of the desire hd, plus its literally twice as fast. I also repartitioned the sd card, so the internal storage is like 800MBs.

To be honest, I checked the other phones before I bought this one, and I found the HD too big and expensive, and didn't like the keyboard of the desire Z. As for the S model, it doesn't seem to be anything special with the fact that its expensive too.

So if you're looking for the right sized phone and don't want to spend big bux yet still have a beast in your hands, the original desire is the way to go. Remember, as long as you can flash it, you'll never miss all the fun of the new phones.
[Desire General] yeahman45:
i have original desire.. what i miss the most is proper multitouch. .apart from that it is great.. perfect weight and size! htc desire hd is too big imo.. if you want keyboard get the desire z but heard it's a bit heavy... i would recommand desire s
[Desire General] Robi959:
Just buy the mobile what you think is the best for you.
[Desire General] vukis:
I still have old desire. I`m thinking that i would be missing trackball in other desires :)
[Desire General] yeahman45:
Yup I like the optical trackball too. Bear in mind that desire's multitouch is not good at all.
[Desire General] Thermaltake868:
Desire is my choice, have one for alomost half a year now and I am super happy with it. Didn't test desire s and z, but I test HD one, and I don't like him at all, a little bit new software then desire but very clumsy made, and it's too big to put him in normal pockets, only if you are rapper and have that big pockets.
[Desire General] I ON:
In my opinion the original Desire is the best if you consider the prices. If you already have the original Desire or an older phone and you want to make an investition, i think that the best choice is by far the Desire S.

The Desire Z is too big and heavy and has no big improvements and the HD is too big for what it is capable of.

My next step will be the Desire S for sure, in a few weeks :-D
[Desire General] bluesith:
The original desire wins for me . I'm due an upgrade , so i decided to be brave and try rooting it and flashing a new rom , now i don't need a new phone . It's opened a whole new fun world .

desire hd if you like the size
[Desire General] Lothaen:
not holding out for the Sensation?
[Desire General] panosx:
If my Desire/Bravo had proper multitouch support and an hdmi out I'd keep it for another 2-3 years..
[Desire General] olly230:
Pleased as punch with the orignal desire, came to it from the blackstone.

Yes a faster processor would be nice, yes being able to play PSP quality games would be nice but ulitmatley its a phone and web browser which desire 1 does well.

I don't think I'll be getting the itch to change phones until battery life under load is measured in days not hours and OTA data network infrastructure improves and by that I mean High speed (3.5 and 4G) coverage and cost.

Google maps is a toy, it would be great to use when abroad in foreign cities but at £3-8 per MB its unusable.

One example I have is when I got lost in geneva, was in a rush and nobody was around to ask for directions so I fired up data roaming to quickly find out where I was - I had satelight view with a couple of layers as well still set from wehn I use it at home - £5! for about 1minutes usage!!!!
[Desire General] m33-snk:
I've got a Desire.

I think Desire or DHD.

The Desire Z... I don't like the design.

The Desire S... The color...

The original Desire has a good design, the color is good.
[Desire General] anoniemouse:
I prefer the Desire as it is easy to root compared to the desire s,

longer battery life & easier to manage size than the desire hd.

The desire z i think is just a gimmick, who really needs a keyboard when the touch screen works so well.:D
[Desire General] breezing.we:
And Desire HD too large...
[Desire General] kayz73:
Well, in my humble opinion, Original Desire is the winner. It has close competition with Desire HD, but considering HD's size and wight, desire is quite "pocket friendly". Installing a good custom ROM like RcMixHD v3.6.1 on a desire and some other helpful apps, make it almost identical to HD, but in smaller size. :)
[Desire General] anoniemouse:
With all the custom roms available & new ones in the pipeline, the original desire can be like any phone you like
[Desire General] izpac13:
thanks great news
[Desire General] erklat:
Desire S easily wins this competition. Being more than a year old, Desire vanilla is a bit outclassed. Desire S has far more in common with the Desire HD, much better hardware both performance and power efficiency wise. From the update side, Desire is going to be eol'd in the next 2-3 months anyway, so if you don't own one already, you don't have to now either :)
[Desire General] yeahman45:
u r posting this question on the desire forum... most probably you will get desire as winner lol ....
[Desire General] do0b:
i would have to say Desire S only because it has slightly higher specs compared to the rest.

You need to flash a rom onto it now.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericbergan:
When I set up my Xoom, I connected it to my Google account, which does NOT have a "gmail.com" domain, or gmail.

I have since found that Voice Search will only search contacts associated with the gmail account.

If I try and add gmail to my Google account, it tells me I will need to change my primary account name on the account to something new, in "gmail.com".

If I do this, how would I point the Xoom to this new Google account name, to still have stay connected with my backups, market purchases, etc?

Thanks!

Hey everyone, I posted this in general but figured I would post it here as well. I have set-up a irc channel for the G2X. I set it up for a number of reasons. It allows users with issues to stop by the channel and get "instant" help from a dev or more experienced user. For Devs it gives them a place to go to get testers immediately for roms/apps they are working on. We have one for the moto xoom and all the devs come in there when they have things that need to be tested. I know it has made the dev's life easier for the xoom because whenever he needs someone to test there is usually someone available. My goal is to make this channel a great resource for devs, testers and power users to come togethger and share ideas etc... I'm also looking for a few trustworthy people to become mods in the channel. (Established devs always get mod access)

The channel is on freenode irc. #LG-G2X

I just noticed that after about 5-10 mins of just surfing the internet (wifi or 3g), the top half of my phone gets pretty warm. The source of the heat isn't from the screen, but from the actual innards of the phone in the half that's above the battery.

The phone isn't plugged in either.

I'm considering getting an exchange if others aren't having this issue.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KnitGnosis:
Yes I've noticed the phone does get quite warm. It doesn't seem like there are any openings for heat to escape from inside and with as much power as this thing has it wouldn't have hurt to have some opening for air flow.

Not really. One thing I noticed is that my phone doesn't get hot even when playing games while plugged in.

There was a thread in the development forums that I wanted to reply to of a similar nature, but I guess my post count isn't high enough to reply to that thread, so pardon the dupe, but my question wasn't answered there.

I'm wondering if any type of ad-hoc list has been made of the supported "data sticks" or modems Huawei makes.

Wind Mobile has a Data plan for $29 unlimited... Pretty tempting, and I'm seriously contimplating it since there's no contract and pre-pay for 2 months gets you a free Huawei E1691.

So my second question is, has anyone tested the E1691? If it doesn't work, it kills the deal for me having to shell out $120 for a 3G wifi hotspot device such as the huawei E583.

This app boosts your SD read/write speeds immensely! By default it is a mere 128k and it will push it as high as 6144k (6mb) but it suggests 2048k for "best" results.

I pushed mine up to 4096k (4mb) since i have EVERYTHING on my card. After the change everything glides like butter! Games respond quicker, everything in general just flows like butter on a hot-plate!

I know there was a post on this a while ago from another XDA member (brainmaster) but im reposting this to help out the 'stone!

Just install, open, set to desired speed & press the little flame button, then resume operations as normal.

NOTE: on reboot or turning on/off, it loses the values, so you will have to reapply the change again. Semi-annoying, but well worth it!
