+1, but I guess the problem of the OP is that he doesn't know what is eating his data plan.

There are a lot of program that shows the data usage per app so you can know what to blame. I personally use avast! Mobile Security cause it counts and store the data used per app and has a built in per app Firewall to cut it.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] isangelous:
According to the FAQ Adblock will appear to use most of your data because the data is passing through it.

It is basically just a HTTP proxy, so it should block web page ads as well as the browser versions.

Adaway uses a different method - it simply blocks the ad server dns entries so they can't be looked up. No data is passing through the adaway app. It also works for SSL which Adblock doesn't.

I don't know which way is best - I use Adaway and am happy with it. Adblock supports the well maintained browser blocklists (and works in a similar way), but requires the proxy run in the background and filter all your traffic.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] kwerdenker:
If you have root, Adaway is the better way to block ads. Since it's doing it at a system level, you don't need anything additional like the proxy running in the background (proxies are a bit of a privacy concern in my opinion, even if it's running locally on your phone). Also you can add any host source you like in Adaway, so it supports most if not any blocklist Adblock supports :)

The main point abaout Adblock is, that you can use it on non-rooted phones.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] isangelous:
They use different blocklists - adaway is simply a list of domains but adblock rules are more powerful. They can be a domain or just part of a url, they can apply only to certain websites, they can apply to html tags, etc. I use these features quite a bit on the desktop version.

I think Adaway is a better way of blocking ads in apps and is good enough for browser ad blocking for now. I think Adblock is better for the browser and wish Chrome supported extensions because I do agree with you that running the proxy is not the best way to do this. Once it has proven stable and has a few more features it might be worth it. At the very least you need to be able to limit it to Chrome - I don't want to depend on that background service for all data.

So for now Adaway is the better all-rounder. It is a shame both are system wide so you can't use both where they are better suited.
[Nexus 4 Themes and Apps] kwerdenker:
Ah ok, now I understand what you are getting at and I think our opinions are not that different. What I meant with my original post was "between the two in their current states, adaway is the better solution".

If chrome for android would get an addon system, I would probably install adblock for it too ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] dreuzel:
I've never used ADW, I considder it to heavy in an overloaded system.....

Using loauncher PRo I just switched the defauts and it booted using the new launcher ....

This seems a thing of the past...

settings -application -ADW - default is grayed out

setting it in hollo to standard app does not have any effect ?.

I'm using hollo launcher but can not get it to fix. as the default launcher, so jumping from one launcher in the other

is there a clear description to ERASE ADW completely from the CM system and replace it in working order by the holo launcher

-without 1000 bootloops and 1000 switchovers and system restores, and reinstalls.

I would prefer a zip to remove the system application and reintroduce the new launcher does one exist how reliablae are they.?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] dark'em:
well if you use holo it's simple you don't need a zip...install hollo and then any launcher you like (in my case xperia launcher), then reboot, on restart the sistem asks wich launcher to use you mark the the "use this by default" button, then when you start the launcher you want, then go to holo, opemn it, go to app drower and pres the central fisical button, it will ask which launcher to use for that action, again mark the launcher you want (by pressing "use äction this by default", now you go to holo launcher, open launcher settings, and in the first menu optios search for USE DEFAULT LAUNCHER and choose the one you chose twice before, restatr (you will see the launcher you want by default). If you just want to replace ADW launcher you will find you cant case CM7 team integrated it in sistem so what you need to do is to this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2028884 and search for launcher2 android stoch launcher (wich will replace ADW and erace it's integration within system so when you do the steps abowe if you use root explorer to delete the new launcher it wont case bootloops case the new one is not intergated with sistem). Sorry for the long ansewer and for any misstakes in my writing
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] dreuzel:
Procedure works correct for launcher but. For holo it seems to fail direct replace of adw. And launcher indirect. Continues to ask the question...which to chose...

Found holo zip only this does the trick

Thanks anyway

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dyslexicpenguin:
Hey all,

I just got my RMA device, which overall is a great improvement over my current nexus 4. The problem I literally just started to encounter while testing it all out is sound not working. Youtube was working fine, sound and all, then I installed a few more apps (harmless ones that I had on the other phone, and are well known and trusted). Now the sound flat out will not work on youtube, or through the google play stream. I can select ring tones fine, and the examples play, so it seems that the speakers work.... Tried playing fruit ninja, no sound. I'm pretty baffled, but also a huge noob at android, so I might be missing some stupid simple?

Any advice or help is greatly appreciated.

ETA: Apparently the speakers only work when it comes to listening to ring tones, and the noise made when raising or lowering the volume of the ringer. Other than that, I'm getting jack **** for sound. Appears the mic doesn't work either, as when I talk into the google search or the talk to text, it does absolutely nothing but tell me to talk into the mic, then tells me to tap to talk since it didn't pick anything up. Guess I've got another RMA coming, and of course all the problems that were fixed with this RMA will be back again, probably along with a ****ed up yellow screen. **** you, Google. **** you, LG. I've never had such ****ty buying experiences.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dyslexicpenguin:
Bump because I'm utterly confused.

The sound/mic work but it seems to only last a short time. I had left the RMA phone off all night, turned it on, and lo and behold, the sound works. So did the mic, it would pick up everything I said when pushing the google search mic icon. Decided to try out youtube, put on a two minute video, which had sound. 3/4 of the way through the video, the video stuttered, buffered, and the sound was gone. Mic no longer picked up anything I said. Annoyance was had.

Turn the phone off AGAIN, leave it off for a few hours. Come back to see if I can even call people, if the mic is not working. Click the google search mic icon to test it out, there is sound and it picks up my voice. Try out an 8 minute video this time, sound works fine (maybe a little quiet) until the ~6 minute mark, then cuts out again! I decide to try a call, since the mic is no longer picking up my voice when I do google voice search. I call my old cdma phone, put it on speaker, and speak into it. I can hear myself clearly through the cdma phone, no problem. I end the call, and lo and behold, sound again!

I am completely baffled as to this issue. Is it a hardware problem? Is it a software problem? Anyone with lots of experience have any theories? I have no idea whether I need an RMA or some sort of software update. As of right now Im' running the phone as I got it, I did a factory reset this morning. Last night when the sound was cutting off, it had the OTA and numerous apps installed/updated.
[Nokia Lumia 800] msbasit:
Hi Guys,

I yesterday updated my LUMIA 800 to 7.8 via Nuviflash Latest Release and as the title suggests it is blocked again :( saying "This SIM Card can only perform on certain networks and bla bla bla...". Before that I did TP unlock my device and was told that It wont be blocked again. It is now blocked again, I restored the previous ROM as well but no luck. Any suggestions on that other than again going trough the entire TP Unlock.

Thanks.
[Nokia Lumia 800] che1982:
Poor U, me too. It's because you're using a network locked phone not world version.

If you know your phone is belong what network provider (AT&T, T-Mobile, ...) you can buy a unlock code to unlock your phone in to world version and use it :D
[Nokia Lumia 800] abdou1102:
I have the same problem with my lumia. I updated to 7.8 and the phone relocked. it was bought through the web and was regularly unlocked from SFR before but now they don't want to send me the code. Could you guide me to any solution please ? where can I buy a working unlock code ?

Thanks in advance.
[Nokia Lumia 800] vyrgozunqk:
:( oh god

Oh god i have the same problem!

I didn't even knew my phone was locked... I bought it from some guy, with DLOAD bootloader, and unlocked and the guy told me it was world wide version.

So because of the DLOAD i belived him.

Now after updating to 7.8 it locked !

Guys, what can i do, can i go to nokia service center and pay for unlocking for example ?!

I don't know from where is my phone actually, i bought it with HK software on it, so i presume it's somewhere in HK...

I'm open to any ideas, because i dont have another phone and i'm dead :crying:

Edit: I tryed to track it a bit with the IMEI, so it starts with 3516820 which leads me to Telia - Sweden ... And they want 75$ for the code, this is madness !
[Nokia Lumia 800] ..::Angel::..:
Hi,

The TP unlock is patch-unlock. So, if you will flash to stock ROM phone will be locked again...

Now you need to unlock again via TP unlock obviously!

BR

---------- Post added at 06:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:03 PM ----------

Hi,

Boot-loader could be changed with ATF Box via TP. It can change boot-loader to DLOAD/QUALCOMM.

So, you probaly had an unlocked phone by ATF Box and after they changed boot-loader OSBL DLOAD

also, just to make you think its pre-unlocked. Better to buy 75$ codes - get it unlock by ATF Box with TP.

BR
[Nokia Lumia 800] vyrgozunqk:
thank you!

Thanks for your answer!

Now i have another question- if i get my phone tp unlocked again. And microsoft release another official update and i update but trough Zune and not nokia care will it lock again?

Thank you!
[Nokia Lumia 800] inket:
Hi guys,

I'm thinking of flashing 7.8 on my DLOAD Lumia 800 and this kinda worried me.

My phone was locked to Vodafone Spain, but the previous owner got it sim-unlocked (in June 2012) before selling it to me. I don't know what method they used but I should be fine because the TP/ATF method you're talking about is relatively new, right ?

Otherwise, is there a way to tell which type of unlock I have before updating to 7.8 ?
[Nokia Lumia 800] ..::Angel::..:
Hi,

Yes, it will lock again...

@inket

Lumia TP unlock through ATF Box was released on: 14th Sep 2012.

BR
[Nokia Lumia 800] vyrgozunqk:
Which is strange, because mine was bought in july so it couldn't be unlocked trough TP, maybe the guy bought a unlocking key.

But since i can't connect to the guy again i'll have to spend 25 Eu every time when microsoft releases an update for TP unlocking. I better sell my Lumia when i unlock it... :crying:
[Nokia Lumia 800] ..::Angel::..:
Hi,

Ask provider before buying codes, that if it will lock again if I flash

my phone. If they say - it will, then ask if I could use the same code

to re-activate my phone or not.

Hope this helps.

[Nokia Lumia 800] inket:
****. Guess I won't be updating then.

Good luck on getting your unlock back, mate. This sucks.

Update via zone

Can you tell me something about stock ROM ? I mean even if I update my device via zune (official update) it would lock again ?
[Nokia Lumia 800] joseromi:
Update

Hi,

If you update with Zune the mobile will not be lock. I did it las time with mine and didn't get lock. Also if you update using the file .xap neither will get lock the mobile.

Mobile get lock only when you update it by Flashing a room.

Anyway after you flash your mobile it can be unlocked with the unlock code you used last time if you still have it.

No one can "help" you regarding this subject.

Your only choices are to take your phone to some well known professional service, to replace your housing, since you're out of warranty.

Or to buy a housing from eBay or from anywhere, and try to change housing by yourself. But if you're not experienced in electronic devices disassembling, this is not recommended.

See this:

Hello,

I've bought new SD card 32GB class 10 and I'm just curious how to format it with the possibility to choose partition type. Thanks and sorry if this topic was already discussed somewhere else.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrwenni:
Don't use a regular windows partition program like Easus Partition Master. I had to find it out the hard way :(

I got a hold of a micro sd to sd adapter and repartitioned it using SD Formatter 3.1.

But I understand using Gparted is the way to if you want to create an ext4 partition for use with the ROMs.

Have to say it took Gparted 15 (!) minutes to find my sd card; Not sure why...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frosty68:
Isn't it easier just using recovery to partition the card?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
Only use 4ext recovery. CWM could break your sd-card.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvsk69:
Yep I agree. 4Ext recovery is the best to format the card. It takes care of the sequence of partitions and also the alignment.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aikimaniac:
Does it matter what partition type i use?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvsk69:
Depends on what Rom you want to use.

Usually 1gb ext4 partition goes well with most of them. It's advised not to have your ext4 partition more than 1.5gb.

One ext4 partition and rest fat32.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scytheb:
I agree with this person except for a point. If you use an a2sd script, it is possible that you can fit a lot of roms as well as the dalvik cache and the data partition with 512mb ext4.

This way (if you are a bit careful with your choice of Roms, and don't use one of those huge sense ones) you can save half a Gb of Sd card, which to many people is precious.

Also, I give my recommendation to 4ext recovery as well. I am currently using the touch version of it for the past 6 months or so, and it is by far the best choice out there.

Hello everyone,

I have a big problem with my HTC Vision. After I've carried it around a long time in my pocket pants the screen do not respond, only after I turn it on and off several times (2-3 times) i can unlock the screen. And then after unlocking the screen it takes about 5 seconds until the screen shows a strange behavior. e.g. for an entry with the on-screen keyboard several keys will be entered without touching the screen, or on the home screen the cursor moves somewhere and activated anything without touching.

This happens everytime i turn off the screen and turn it on some seconds later (maybe 20-30 seconds).

After about 15 minutes out of the pocket the behavior is normal again.

During this about 15 minutes a reboot wont help.

Please can someone help me thank you in advance.
