[HTC Amaze 4G] demize!:
Just slightly ot. I was capped last month on an unlimited data plan and there is no way I used 5gigs. Everything data intensive I do on WIFI. So I checked Tmo's my acct. app and dl'd some podcasts over WIFI just to double check and sure enough the data usage rose by that exact amount which means they are counting wifi thoroughput as part of allotted data usage. Now I checked some comments on the market and it seems a few people seem to think it is the my account app that is gauging ALL data and sending it to tmo as part of their network being utilised. Id like to hear what you guys think.

Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
There is no way this is the case. Not completely anyway. I've used 68 GB through wifi according to Netcounter and 4.5 gigs of data. My Billing cycle end on the 2ND. Now according to T mobile I've used 5.5 gigs. Although I disagree with T Mobile I can debunk your theory that they use ALL wifi traffic. But some is possible.

Obviously I'm a heavy user. ;)
[HTC Amaze 4G] alx294:
68 GIGS?!?!?!?!

0.o
[HTC Amaze 4G] demize!:
No what Im saying is it is a possibility that the data usage meter on the Tmobile My account app is registering all data as through their network. I can only surmise since without the app I couldnt tell but the meter in the app rose by the exact amount I dl'd through WIFI.

Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
I would have some serious issues if t-mobile said that I used over 70GB of data and had my data cut off less than a week into my billing cycle.

I think TMobile would say something about that too now that I think about it.

So all wifi data as 3G/4G data. No. Very seriously doubt it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] flexte:
i have to agree that my account app must be wrong. I was on sprint for months and never went over 4 gb. I tethered my phone all the time and used pandora a lot. within 5 days the my account app showed i used 2gb of data. I barely even used the phone and hadn't even tethered it yet. I returned the phone and told them why . they said it was a setting i had that used that much data. of course they had no clue what they were talking about but i said yea ok just give me the refund. Tomorrow I am going to purchase the phone again and run some more tests to see what is really going on.
[HTC Amaze 4G] jn_vista:
My acct says I've used 87 mb, but I've been listening to Pandora for 6 hours each day... I don't think it counts WiFi...
[HTC Amaze 4G] saulcho009:
It doesn't ;)

Also, I also find the My Account inaccurate but in my favor. I used more MB than it stated I used.
[HTC Amaze 4G] amkaos:
tmo told me that until 11/13 it will charge all wifi against talk minutes and data usage..
[HTC Amaze 4G] flexte:
and you believed that?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Babydollll:
There ARE issues with the My Account app.

Case in point:

A couple of months ago I became eligible for a corp discount on T-mo. Obviously, I had to extend my contract to get it. It also changed my billing date (I had had a billing cycle that ended on the 19th and started on the 20th, it changed to end on the 16th, start on the 17th).

The next month all my lines (I had four voice lines at the time) rolled over to a new billing cycle on the 17th as expected EXCEPT for the data limit on my Sensation. My Sensation showed me using 4.7GB on the 16th. On the 17th IT STILL HADN'T RESET. Long story short, if I hadn't stayed on top of it and called and escalated it up the ladder, I would've been throttled all month long for the whole next billing cycle. It was so bad I had to move to the ten gig tier JUST so I wouldn't be throttled. I also spent the whole month with 5 GB already used according, to the app. They have a front end AND a back end system that don't always report the same numbers.

Just an fyi

I work for Tmobile in tier 3 tech support. The cap is a system cap its not hardware or software on your phone. The my device app sucks at keeping count as does my Tmobile there tends to be a lag from time to time. There is no way around it. Trust me I've looked. And no as difficult as it may be for some of you to believe wifi does not count towards your usage. Hope this helps clear up some of the confusion.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
Thanks T-Mobile for the clarification. I always knew you used the forums too! ;)

So we find our exploits, you read them and plug them right up. Kinda pointless trying huh? :rolleyes: Oh well...
[HTC Amaze 4G] flexte:
since you work for t-mobile please explain how this is possible. I have been wanting to switch to tmobile for some time now. I have been with sprint fopr a while and the only thing keeping me from witching is the data cap. for the past 5 months i have watched my data usage on my sprint bill and i have been using between 1.5 -3.5 GB a month. i tether from time to time and use Pandora about 2 hrs a day. I have 3 gmail accounts and 2 exchange account syncing all the time. FB and a news feed also syncing. with all this going on and no video streaming besides a little youtube from time to time my data has stayed relatively low. i switched to tmobile 2 weeks ago and bought the Amaze. after 5 days of usage my account showed 1.8GB. not tethering at all and very light usage because i was still using my sprint phone as well. this month my spring bill showed 1.9 GB and that's a whole month of usage. how could i have possibly used that much data on Tmobile in only 5 days. I asked a guy aqt the stoore and he said it was probably one of my settings. i laughed and said yea i have youporn streaming in the background all day. anyway i have a feeling that t mobiles data usage is way off or maybe it was high because i had downloaded all my apps since i was setting up the phone. I am reluctant to try again until i see if others are going over the 5gb every month.

[HTC Amaze 4G] tmotechsupport:
Not quite, I come here personally for the htc information and fixes it helps me personally with rooting and what not. As far as taking info back to the job na, closest I've done is bust someone who's jacked up their phone while rooting it and knowing they did by checking build numbers radios etc trying to pass it off as a warranty issue.

Well the problem is that I'd need to look through stuff on your phone as I'm typing this on my amaze and don't feel like writing a book telling you to sync unsync various things and download app monitoring apps to find the leak. At the job the only thing we have to go on is the system. So it can either be one of 2 things: the system is only having an issue with your phone or you used more than you thought you did. That's not to say option number 1 isn't possible but of the thousands of calls I've taken in 5 years I've only seen one or two cases that the usage (i can see the ip addresses and how many megabytes you used while you were there on one of my systems) didn't match the history. So best thing to do is either monitor yourself through a proven app for data traffic and do #web# and cross check that with customer care every couple of days 2 times and see if that adds up with your traffic. Damn .. still managed to write a book..
[HTC Amaze 4G] Binary100100:
We appreciate your time. Could you recommend an app to monitor data traffic for us please?
[HTC Amaze 4G] flexte:
Thanks for the reply but as i mentioned i have the same setup on my Evo and for the past 6 months i have not gone over 3 GB. on the evo i tether and keep Pandora running a lot so i really doubt there is a leak causing that much data but if you know if an accurate data monitoring app ill give it a shot. I wish they would offer the 10GB option on the prepaid plans so i wouldn't have to worry about data.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stevedebi:
Anybody consider going into airplane mode and then manually turning on the wifi?
[HTC Amaze 4G] amkaos:
ok, i believe that.. but is it the same for prepaid?

tmo told me that for prepaid , it definitely would count against minutes..

[HTC Amaze 4G] oryan_dunn:
hey tmotechsupport,

Kinda related, but where I am, I only have 2G coverage, but it seems any data I use on 2G counts against my "High Speed" data allotment for the month. I'd hardly call 2G "High Speed". Is there any way to change it so data used on 2G doesn't count? There's a larger metropolitan area nearby that does have 4G, so I'd like to save my high speed data for the times I'm out and about, and actually can use high speed.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stevedebi:
The quotas are for gb used, not the speed.

There seems to be a lot going on with the TMO cware in the background, visual voice mail, tmo contact sync, facebook etc. I noticed also that my usage seem a lot higher than normal, I'm coming off a rooted hd2 and the battery seemed to drain faster. I rooted it and installed the BeastMod rom and now life is good. All the cware is gone, the battery seems better, I havent done any objective tests on it but during moderate usage it's around 40-50% at the end of the day vs 15-20%. Just my .02

If so, the phone needs hard resetted after inserting the new memory as the memory becomes part of the phone and it needs to format it.

Or do you mean sim card?

I only ever had an issue once with my surround not booting and getting stuch at same screen. Ended up the sim card wasn't getting good contact with phone. Took out the sim, wiped it off, put it back and it worked. Also if there is a sim card issue, i think Att will swap it for you.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CollegeProfesor:
When ever my phone's screen is off, aka when I'm sleeping, it will automatically go back to the original Samsung launcher, instead of Go Launcher, which is what I have installed and defaulted. Sometimes it goes back to stock launcher when my phone is sitting around for a few minutes, doesnt have to be overnight. When I make the transition from stock launcher to Go Launcher, I get "Problem loading widgets" Pretty annoying.

Second, some apps stop working and disappear (from the notification bar). Specifically Lookout Security, Juice Defender, WidgetLocker (goes back to stock locker) and BatteryBar notification battery icon. I'm not sure whats going on, I have no ROM flashed, the only thing I have added since my root have been: AdFree, SuperUser, Titanium Backup, and Screenshot it. I have no idea what do do now, thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dayv:
Not sure what its happening, but one thing you can try is freezing all the launchers you are not using titanium backup and leaving only one that you want to use. That will keep the launcher from changing when you don't want.

But take caution, don't freeze all the launchers - make sure one is still available, or you will get a soft brick that you will have to either re flash or restore a nandroid backup.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Misterjunky:
Launchers

#1: When the phone gives you the option to choose a launcher

as default there is a little checkbox on the bottom which you can

checkmark before selecting your preferred default launcher so it will

not ask you everytime you go to the home screen or restart the phone.

#2: In order to SAVE any settings you make while using Go Launcher

you need to open the settings for Go Launcher and scroll down until

you see "save" and "restore".

After making any changes to anything in Go Launcher use the save

settings in go launcher.

#3: Problem loading widgets after reboot is a commonly known issue

in many launchers. The stock Touchwiz 4 launcher does not have this problem.

The only time you will see this problem is when you reboot the phone

or if you power off the phone and restart it.

If you do not select and save as default the launcher of your choice

it may not startup with whatever customizations and additions you

have made to it.

P.S. these problems you are experiencing have nothing to do with rooting the phone.

Good Luck!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CollegeProfesor:
Can you tell me what the name of the stock Samsung launcher is in Titanium?

Go Launcher is my default, its always been this way too. By the way, I just plugged my phone in to drag and drop a file and after I disconnected the USB via the notification bar option, the phone restarted on its own and went to the stock Samsung launcher, giving me the widget problem again. I pressed the home button and it gives me the option to choose my default launcher, which is Go Launcher, which I've selected 20 times already. This happened after I rooted so I assumed that was the problem.

Thanks alot though guys.

Quick edit: This whole default home screen problem happens when I reboot my phone, I just tried it a few times and that seems to be it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Misterjunky:
Launchers

What rom are you using? If it's the stock or stock rooted 2.3.4 i777 SGS2

rom then your default launcher which came with the rom is Touchwiz 4.

If you installed/flashed some custom rom then your launcher is possibly something

other than Touchwiz 4 but either way the STOCK launcher for i777 is Touchwiz 4.

Either way your best bet would be to flash the "UnNamed 1.0.4" custom rom.

It has the stock Touchwiz 4 launcher. If you like Go Launcher better

you can download and install from the market. It's a free app.

After you do this, just re-read my previous reply if you still have

any problems. (which I doubt).

The UnNamed rom is currently the best custom rom available for our

phones. It can be downloaded here: update-unnamed-v1.0.4-full.zip

After you flash this rom I bet your problems will magically disappear. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CollegeProfesor:
I have no ROM flashed currently, just rooted applications.

Very tempting, however I'm new to this whole rooting and flashing process, I definitely don't want to brick my phone. So, do I flash this ROM via Rom Manager? Where do I put this UnNamed file?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Misterjunky:
UnNamed Rom

If your phone is properly rooted, flash the UnNamed rom using

CWM Recovery.

The easiest way to get to CWM Recovery is to go to the market

and download a free app called "reboot recovery".

After it's installed, you will be able to go to CWM Recovery

with one click.

You can find this "Reboot Recovery" app here: http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/tools/reboot-recovery_vusz.html

First download the UnNamed rom and copy it to your sdcard

(don't put it into any folder)

Then when you are in CWM Recovery select "install zip from sdcard".

Then select the UnNamed rom file you copied to your sdcard.

Once it's selected (highlighted) press the HOME key in cwm recovery.

After it's done flashing select "Reboot system" in CWM Recovery.

That's all there is to it.. The whole process after downloading

the new custom rom is less than 5 minutes.

Good luck!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CollegeProfesor:
You guys are extremely helpful, I gave a thanks to every post in here. So before I flash this ROM, do I need to backup what I currently have? I typically back up with Titanium.

Im currently downloading the ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Misterjunky:
Backup

Yes, it's a good idea to backup the existing rom.

Sorry I forgot to mention it.

You cannot backup a rom with titanium.

Use CWM Recovery to backup the rom.

It's just as easy to backup or restore a rom in

CWM Recovery than it is to flash a new custom rom.

CWM has a option in the menu which says:

"Backup/Restore".

Titanium backup only backs up APPS and

the cooresponding data and system files.

(not roms).

Good Luck!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CollegeProfesor:
Sounds good, I just backed up via CWM and I'm still waiting for the ROM to download. Thanks for taking me through this whole process by the way

Another thing I forgot to mention is that after you have flashed the UnNamed

rom if you want to use the Titanium Backup to restore your apps, never

select "Restore All Apps and System Data".

If you do it will cause a lot of problems and force closes (fc's).

The way to restore apps with Titanium Backup when using custom

roms is to select "restore missing apps with data" only.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CollegeProfesor:
Okay, I just flashed the ROM and all of my apps are still there, are you saying that when I flash a new ROM my apps should not be there, and that I have to restore them via Titanium Backup?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dayv:
Touch wiz launcher is TwLauncher
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Misterjunky:
ok

Go back into cwm recovery and do a fresh/clean flash of the UnNamed

rom by selecting "wipe data/factory reset" in cwm recovery then go

ahead and select "install zip from sdcard" like you already have.

Then before you either restore apps or install apps check out the rom.

It will not have any problem at all and it will only have the

Touchwiz 4 launcher which it comes with.

After that if by restoring or installing go launcher you start having

problems, either stick with Touchwiz 4 launcher or choose a different

launcher (not go launcher) there are dozens of launchers in the

android market to choose from and 99% of em are free.

Best bet though... stick with Touchwiz 4. (my opinion only).

You might want to either install or restore one app at a time

and see which one is perhaps causing your problem too.

Some apps are just not 100% compatible with either the

phone itself, or with certain launchers.

---------- Post added at 05:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:08 PM ----------

It makes no difference how you rooted the phone

because all these new custom roms are pre-rooted.

So whatever you did to root the phone does not matter.

These custom roms over-write any existing rooting.

Be sure that when you are not using usb storage

that you go into settings and enable "USB debugging".

I know about SuperOneclick's minor flaw, sometimes we need to

unplug the usb cable if it gets stuck on step #6 & uncheck usb dev

and plug it back in.

Also like any other rooter, I had to odin flash the cwm recovery

When I rooted my phone it did get stuck on step 6 but since all it

needed was to unplug usb and plug back in it was no trouble at all.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Adelaide.:
It may be because of widget locker. The last update of WL has a bug that causes your phone to forget what the default launcher is when the phone goes to sleep. I will try and dig up the instructions on how to fix it, but I know it is discussed in the thread about Entropy's kernel in the dev forum (just search for my username).

Here are the instructions as per the dev of WL.

I installed Cyanogen 7.1 following these steps and selected the option to download Gapps:

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Captivate:_Full_Update_Guide

I used the ROM Manager method. Everything worked fine until Step 7: "The Samsung Captivate will now reboot into the recovery, wipe data and cache, and then install CyanogenMod. When it's finished installing it will reboot into CyanogenMod."

The phone did reboot into recovery mode but I had to navigate to the .zip file for the install. Cyanogen is now up and running. However, since I manually selected the file, the gapps zip file was not installed along with it. I know where the file is at, but the three button combo to get into recovery mode does not work.

Any suggestions?
