Here is my experience..

I'm on t-mobile with the MyTouch 4G. I haven't used netflix as of yet, but I do stream a lot on my phone with other various apps and websites to watch TV shows. I do accounting so I'm usually in my office alone through the day and I have the capabilities of watching shows on my phone, since accounting is extremely boring and i need something to keep me going.

Anyway, on average, a regular TV show (like friends), runs about 25 minutes. And in that time, I use anywhere from 70 - 100mb. Fortunately, I still have t-mobile's "unlimited" data which caps at 5gb.

I have reached the cap once, and for 2 days, they limited my throttle to edge speed! It was ridiculous!

There are a few apps in the market that help keep track of the data you are using. What I personally did was calculate how much data I could use per day and limit myself to that. I could check the apps to make sure I wasn't passing my limit. It's been working pretty well so far.

I hope this helped to whoever needed it!

Thanks are appreciated to all that this helped! :D:D

you're welcome dude. And yes, he made the soar mistake of tething his computer, then bridging his comp to his xbox a few times. lmao. told him it was a bad idea. the only thing i dont get is why they throttled him more. he's now getting slower than he did before. I dont think he tethers anymore... :confused::confused:

you can also get Movie Stream app off the market. its pretty sweet. Watch movies without a monthly payment. it just streams them from a few different sites. Same Developers as TV Shows Stream app. pretty cool stuff d-('.')-b
[General Topics] xsteven77x:
Your actually pretty lucky dude. Edge speeds really are not that bad in comparison to GPRS/1G/whatever you want to call it. Most of the time getting throttled means getting 1g speeds. I do know that if you go into networks and change it to edge only networks you can get edge speeds, but somehow you were lucky enough to get them off the bat.
[General Topics] k_nivesout:
According to Netflix streaming for one hour will use about 1gb of data, 2gbs for HD.
[General Topics] caffeinated chris:
bahahahaa. thats whyyy they want you to use wifi.

thats about the worse news you could tell someone who has a cap lmao
[General Topics] k_nivesout:
Yeah when I saw that I was pretty surprised. Sucks especially with carriers capping at 2 or 5 GB. Fortunately on Verizon with unlimited data.
[General Topics] seanthegeek:
That's probably for desktop streaming, not mobile. Someone I know who uses it on the iPhone said it uses ~200-300 MB/2 hours.
[General Topics] ld006:
looking at the quality of the mobile movies/shows I'd say about 250mb an hour
[General Topics] k_nivesout:
I think this is about right. That did sound like way too much for mobile streaming but the FAQ didn't specify.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] natboy:
My girlfriend wants me to hack up her Hero CDMA. It's pretty darn laggy at the moment being stock. It does things like sends multiple text messages to me and she ends up clicking on Call multiple times when trying to make a phone call because it takes 10+ seconds to register.

I rooted her phone last night, so my next step would be to actually upgrade the OS or fix the laginess. I don't necessarily want to continuously be hacking on it though. So I was hoping for a nice stable version that might have some speed tweaks applied to it. Anybody have any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks!

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] natboy:
Cool, thanks, I'll try that out!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
It's WAAAAAAAAY better than stock, and LOTS of nice features/customizations. In my experience, it is more "stable" than stock sense 2.1 ever was. FYI it is NOT a sense homescreen/user interface, so if she likes all those sense widgets and such you could try NFXhero, it is also a very nice ROM, but it's sense.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aiwetir:
IIRC it does seem to randomly reboot at times maybe change the vmheap to 48 in the build.prop

You'll also need to keep or track down the Sprint Visual Voicemail apk.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] natboy:
Sprint isn't an issue :) as we're up in Alaska. This is running from a local telco. No VVM for her!

But thanks for the heads up on the rebooting. I dig into the threads for some info on it.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bierce22:
you could try youmail from the market for vvm.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
I never had random reboot issues. Usually that was when people clocked too high, but it boots at 691 so that should be fine. Also, 48m VM heap is probably a little steep for froyo imho, I would say stock or 32m.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] natboy:
Is there a OC'd kernel or just use SetCPU for the Hero? Like I said though, I'd like it to be stable, so unless there's a stable OC kernel, I probably won't bother with it.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
Stock kernel is already OC'd to 691 max, but will clock to 768. FYI *some* heroC seem to reboot/freeze over 691. It takes a little bit of work to find the max one can handle, make sure you use "smart" profiles in setcpu for testing (like make one that's 691 on AC power so if she craps out you can reboot while plugged and be fine). Mine goes up to 729, everybody gets 691, most seem to be able to hit 768.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] natboy:
Awesome, thanks for the good info, I do appreciate it.

[XPERIA X10 General] PoTi_96:
hello,

i'm following (almost) all these threads since i got my x10 (august 10?!).

i went through the first custom rom ever, the first dual touch kernel, the thirst 2.2 Rom, thefirst custom kernel thing and all those stuff :)

i was so happy with my x10... till now :(

my usb connector broke and a odd red liquid came out there and destroyed the mainboard (may i call it so?). it would cost 225€ so i decided to buy a new phone...

but i can choose between LG optimus 2x (Lg optimus speed) and samsung galaxy s II...

the lg o2x would cost 69€ here and the sgs2 199€... so it's cheaper (and better i thing) to choose one of them.

btt... i wanna thank ALL great dev's here, J, Z, Trip, and all other (just wanna name 3 of all now :))

you're so amazing... i don't know the words i should say so i only say THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

-------------

which phone will you prefer for me?

lg o2x

or

sgs2

i like gaming (seems that the o2x comes out a bit better in gaming)

but also wanna have a big screen (sgs2 is better here) [i know 4'' are great too ;)]

i got sick of all those threads full of "no that's not true" and "sure it is here is the link http://www.blablabla.it/is/better_then_the_other_one" and so on

so i'm ONLY ASKING those guys who know the pro's and con's of those phones.

(again) THANK YOU AND GOOD BYE ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] goodraja14:
if i was in ur shoes......samsung...anytime...(if cost aint priority)...not jus coz of the brand name and performance..but also services,updates,availability of parts n accessories etc

xperia x10....r i p
[XPERIA X10 General] realunited123:
Sgs2 anytime. Not sure why you think 2x is better. Specs say sgs2 is better and reviews say the same. It comes down to price and that depends on you.
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
sgs 2 is currently the best android phone to date imo... (reviews seem to agree)

It is insanely fast.

I won't lie, I'm slightly jealous
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
O_O'

Odd red liquid.. out of the usb connector.

Confused :confused:
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
his phone was bleeding lol

Edited to add:jokes aside, it was probably the dielectric fluid from inside a capacitor
[XPERIA X10 General] PoTi_96:
haha nice one :D

i will ask that guy to send me those pictures via e-mail and then i'll share them :D

so sgsII hmm... i don't like that fatty-thingy button in the middle :O :D

but hmm... if it's better i'll take it ;) thanks anyways
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
It definitely is better...

It would be worth the extra money guaranteed.
[XPERIA X10 General] egyptshun:
Sgs2 automaticially
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
i heard the battery life of sgs2 is crap

better than lg in every other way
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
LOL

:edit

From those tiny surface mount caps?

ok.. wierd.
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
might not be those particular capacitors...

That's the only think I can think of that would be a reddish colour though
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
I thought the same.

I saw some where some dude's USB connector was glue'd right about where those caps were with a red glue.

Maybe he should get a second opinion from another shop?
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
I'd go with it and get a new phone personally lol
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
Yeah that's true.. even if it was glue the board would have to be replaced.

Me... i would take a "Slaughtering" iron to it. :D

i don't know, all my samsung phones, and my wife's,bro's, mom's are sucked in the past, charge problems, radio problems, slider problems, screen problems so on.. (about 7 or 8 phones)

my old handycam was samsung and it was a junk..

so i gave my word to myself that i will never, ever have a samsung electronics again never..

if i have to, i prefer ericsson 388 but not samsung in any ways..
[XPERIA X10 General] realunited123:
Samsung's feature phones and lower range phones are crap. I had couple both of them ended dead within a year. Use Sony Ericsson for lower range and feature phones. Never had a problem with them. But Samsung's smartphones are great! My cousin has a SGS1 and he never ever complained about it.
[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
It's called planned obsolescence.

The SGS phones are getting way too good.

But a korean buddy of mine works for hauwei and they are really building some really nice smart phones and tablets for those on a budget.

I wish he could get me a job there. tired of working for the military.
[XPERIA X10 General] lesath76:
yeah, may be you're both right.. i haven't used any samsung smartphones yet, it is possible that they are great but i think i got "samsungphobia" :)

anyway, i loved my x10 so much and i bought a pair to my wife and brother too :)

i'm dead sure that my next phone will be a SE phone again :)

cheers..
[XPERIA X10 General] fiscidtox:
Buying any of the new se line would be a huge mistake imo....

ETA: Buying a new se phone over an sgs2 since they're nearly the same price would be like buying a used station wagon for the same price as a brand new ferrari
[XPERIA X10 General] PoTi_96:
i didn't like them too but now... WOW

i own the sgs II now for ~ 3-4 hours and i almost juzzed in my pants :O

[XPERIA X10 General] kanchigo:

[XPERIA X10 General] OmegaRED^:
Yeah they added the glue to try stop the USB from breaking again.

So you are not to blame and deserve a replacement if you are still under the 2 year warranty.

Yeah it is, you can find the apk on XDA, but videos won't play on the Hero...you can browse the instant play queue, but that's it. I am trying a few of the widely talked about edits to spoof it into playing but no go on the Hero yet.

Tried:

ro.product.model=HTC Vision

ro.product.manufacturer=HTC

and

ro.product.model=Nexus S

ro.product.manufacturer=samsung

Neither worked for me...I get to where the video will appear to be loading, then the app kicks back to the main screen.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thoughtlesskyle:
im pretty confident it will not work on the hero ever same reason as flash, i know they said they would only be supporting new snapdragon processors due to some sort of DRM compliance

i am also pretty sure that it needs an ARMv7 processor for some sort of hardware acceleration much the same way flash does, so its going to be more than just some build prop edits

best chance of it working

drm.apk from evo

build.prop edit

alot of luck
