Gprs mixed messages from o2

I have called frequently about it and get this answer often: "GPRS is free for light web surfing and emails", then I ask how that is, and they say that there is a 100kb limit, which, in fact means it is not free, it appears that there is some confusion over there. I have to say I am sure that I have used more then 100KB and never been billed, we'll see how long this lasts?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] robboy:
100 kb is nothing thats about 5 email transfers or 5 mins on the web. i think it might be that it is free to a certain limit say 50mb however im sure o2 don’t want a situation like one2one had when they said free text messages for everyone it brought the system down and nobody could send a message
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] joey jojo:
why do you think o2 have not announced it officially ? they wont tell you its free, u use it as u normally would and dont get charged.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] smithy318i:
GPRS aint free on payandgo. :(

When i contacted them they said 'Unfortunately, the GPRS Mobile Web service is not available on the prepay tariff. If you require this service then you will need to take out a pay monthly service and require a compatible handset.'

Load of bolloks !!! :x

When I asked about o2 Data5 they said 'The tariff that you are referring to is a business tariff.' and i needed to purchase a new handset.

More bolloks ! :evil:
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] robboy:
your in luck my friend create a new connection in my isp with these details. however although you can browse the web using explorer applications like msn messenger and pocket msn don't work maybe there is a fix something to do with the proxy settings. however for web browsing try this:

Start->settings->connection->new connection-> (or something like this)

Cellular Line (GPRS)'

Access Point Name: payandgo.o2.co.uk

Username: payandgo

Password: password

Domain: leave blank

Then find an advanced settings and fill these details in:

HTTP: 193.113.200.195 PORT : 8080

WAP: 193.113.200.195 PORT: 9201

SecureWAP : EMPTY

Socks: 193.113.200.195 PORT: 1080

Make sure you change the port settings to 8080 instead of 80

Let us know how you get on BTW I you get 1mb free on payandgo simcards with the 300 free text messages. If you haven’t got one I can send you one for a couple of pounds
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] smithy318i:
already got those settings.

working fine now. (when o2 doesn't have technical problems with the service)

Thanks anyway.

Grrr...

I've contested with many people from O2, the latest being a super-uber-b*tch, going, "I'm the department supervisor and I know that you have to pay..." etc etc.

After spending a week with my phone barred due to me not paying my bill, I finally paid it today.

Uber-GRRR!!!!!

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] joey jojo:
i work in credit control and hear this all day, but at the end of the day, it does state in your contract that you can sign and o2 can send u a copy of the contract that you signed that if you do not make payments by the due date, then restrictions WILL be applied , at the end of the day, you are offered a service that you should pay for.

sorry, work on the brain......lol

Hey Joey, I've managed to avoid GPRS bills so far on 02 UK, but a friend told me that they could potentially hit me with a bill for all my usage in one massive bill when they feel like it!! Is this true?

-Mike
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] joey jojo:
its highly unlikely as the o2 billing system charges you from your bill day to the next, eg. bill day is 10th, you get charged from 10th to the 9th the month after, so u should only be charged gprs between those dates, i will be honest, i havent ever come accross this before so im not 100%sure? but it shouldn't do it all in one go. if it does tell them you aint going to pay all in one go.

to be honest, if you get billed all in one go after ages, it sounds like a system fault. u have a right to complain.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] robboy:
joey did you find out when the free gprs is going to end??
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] dkl_uk:
i got a text message from o2 about two months ago saying something like "we havent billed you for data since november 2004, we won't ask you to pay for your usage but we will bill you from now on"...

i'm sure i saw data charges on my bills but nevermind.

Free Blackberry APN

In June last year I bought a Blackberry and asked to be put on the Blackberry Entreprise Service (BES) and unlimited GPRS Roaming.

The BES gives you access to the Blackberry.net APN that allows a two way live synch with an Exchange Blackberry server.

The service suddenly stopped over Christmas. For two weeks no one at O2 could say why. Finally a Data Services technician found the problem. I had been using the BES service and the GPRS Roaming for free.

I asked them to turn on the service and start charging me .

The service worked till May when it was stopped again. O2 had again forgot to charge me for both services.

According to an O2 Customer Service person, I saved over £616.00 + VAT.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] xda-rocks:
Be careful with O2, I got charged for items they said they'd missed from my bills on two ocassions last year. I had received my normal monthly bills and paid them, then I got a bill for with my normal monthly calls, plus about £100 of calls ranging over the previous 4-5 months.

By "better", I am referring to faster/quality. Not instagram and other image manipulation nonsense.

I am also aware that we are limited by hardware, but still there must be something better.

Better Camera App

I am using super app

LGcamera

(there is free version too) and there is available to set these things:

video bitrate (default is 15MBps) i use 20MBps

audio quality is better (FULL HD VIDEO) 96kbps, mono, 48000HZ

you can change your save destination

take a photo while recording a movie

....and more
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Kaioh_shin:
Hey guys

thanks for the opinion!

I've tried for a while jb+ and I enjoyed it more than the stock one (was faster and minimal UI). I did not enjoy however the way you change settings, it seemed awkward. Also the video recorder does no support 1080. Another thing was the lighting setting, auto mode was rubbish and I had to manually select lighting for each photo.

Starting today, I'll be trying LGcamera.

So far, I'm impressed. It really feels solid and works good.

Video supports 1080 and takes photos at 5MP(stock takes photos at 2MP, I believe)

Focus seems better to.

I'd like to ask you guys:

What settings to you use? (focus, photo mode, light)

Also for video

Thanks!

Those options have terrible video framerates.

CameraJB+, LGCamera, Camera FV-5, give me bad framerates in video. I'm not sure if there's a fix or something but in darker areas like indoors, the exposure doesn't fix so the framerates dip into the single digits. The only thing I want is just timestamped filenames. Is there a modified Stock possibly?
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Ace4Apps:
Solution

Hey, I see what you mean and I think I can help you.

Here's what you need to do:

1. Get root access to your device (there're plenty of ways)

2. Unzip the attached archive and replace your device's media_profiles.xml with the one from the archive.

To do that, use Root Explorer app and go to /etc. Copy new media profiles and confirm the replacement. Then, don't forget to set the permissions of the new one to rw-r--r--.

3. Restart your device.

Now you have better sound quality in stock app (48000 kHz, 160 kbps) and you have better fps compatibility.

There're several apps for you to use:

a) For better quality and control, you can use FV-5 Cinema app. You should get fixed 30 fps under default settings.

b) As for LGCamera (the one with the older interface, version number around 5.4), you should set fps to 25 and you will get a stable 25 fps, regardless of the lighting.

c) However, if you are using the newer LGCamera (version 7), you'll have to go for a little trick:

Launch the app, and set the fps to 30. Now, go to Setting tab (the last one), select "Edit camera script" and add the following after the existing lines:

preview-fps-range=30000,30000

Now, restart LGCamera app, and you will have stable 30fps performance.

So, there're 3 options for you, choose whichever you like :)

P.S. I have P765 with the stock firmware from P760, version 20p.
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] steventechno:
Thanks but

That trick unfortunately didn't make a difference.. All third party apps are still agonizingly laggy. Thanks though, it was worth the shot.

Trying to decide on the best SD card for my 16GB...any suggestions? I noticed I can't even update to newest firmware without microsd card...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mikel_:
I bought a SanDisk 32Gb MicroSDHC Class 10 (UHS-1) first, but had to return it due to periodic "card disconnected" messages. I've always thought SanDisk is one of the best flash memory brands, but many people reported problems with S4.

Samsung 32GB Pro MicroSDHC (UHS-1) has been working great for me so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CC268:
Hmm alright leaning towards the Samsung...any more feedback?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
I pretty much gave up on the 64gb Samsung and stuck in an older 64gb Sandisk & have had no problems (fat32). I formatted the Samsung multiple times in different formats and always ended up with 1) the stock music player unable to use it and/or 2) my recovery (TWRP & CWM) unable to use it. From all I've read I'm in a minority as most seem to have good results with the Samsung cards.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kaiya_FL:
FWIW, I went with the Samsung just because people were having issues with the SanDisks. And it's was pretty much the best priced one on Amazon. Formatted it to Fat32 and have not had any issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Spike96:
Sandisk has identified the problem and has launched a new firmware to fix the compatibility issues their cards have been having with Samsung devices. If you buy a card out of the factory, you will have zero issues. I bought one a while back and was having the "SD Card Unexpectedly Removed" issue. They sent me one a few weeks later with the new firmware.

I would go Sandisk just because they are definitely a bigger name in SD cards, and if you experience any problems they will send you a new one no problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] AliceBToklas:
Update on my Samsung card. Formatted on the phone and all seems fine. Still exFat the way it was shipped - also formatted it exFat using my laptop - but the phone format appears to fix my problems.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] dchsub:
I have i9205 for 1.5 week. I rooted it after a few hours I have it. I was in rooted + official rom for a week. Then I flashed Cassies XtraLiteROM to it a few days ago. XtraLiteROM is based on official stripped down to minimum plus some tweaks.

My observation of battery drop during the night (wifi/3g/gps/bluetooth all off) is indistinguishable between the official rom and XtraLiteROM. About 10%-12% drop during the 8-hour sleep.

I greenified facebook app and a few others that I think works in the background. I tried to invoke Wakelock detector, hoping to find something. It appeared normal and said 8-hour deep sleep. The battery level falls continuously and smoothly during the sleep with hardly any wakeup.

Is it common with 4.2.2? I have another LG L9 rooted with 4.1.2. The drop during the night is 1%-2%.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] SquirtingCherry:
I left my mega all stock. No root or any modifications and when i go to bed i put it in flightmode and it loses about 1% or 2% in those 8 hours just like your LG

One thing I have not tried is put it in flight mode. Thanks. I will give it a shot.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] jtrakx:
I'm also having the same battery drain problems since the first day I bought Mega 6.3. I have tried different ROM versions UAMEA,ED,F2,G3 and now the latest G4 but still having the same problem. Today I lost 3% in a matter of 1.5hours without even doing anything on my phone within those times. Flightmode technique you mentioned seems to be good but the problem is we may not be able to receive emergency or urgent calls/text while asleep. I was hoping samsung would address this drain bug.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] baladev:
how is samsung responsible for you installing something on your phone that eats you battery?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Tilagoon:
But the problem seems to be present even if you don't install anything else than what is supplied !!

I don't understand what's going on with the battery:

one day you put the phone in arplane mode and for 10 hours you eat 1% of the battery :good:

The next day without changing anything you eat 10% in the same conditions WTF !!

As far I can see it seems that there is a problem with the release 4.2 (problem also for the Galaxy S4).!!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] baladev:
In another forum i participate, some people had similar issues, they had been harrowed down to some programs they were running. some people had Mega synchronise their photos every time they connected to the internet others had some other crap going on. if it was a firmware issue, everyone would have it. i, for example don't have this problem. you can try to use Disable service program to see which services are active in the background and are eating your battery and stop them carefully.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Tilagoon:
For example phone in airplane mode everything off (air view, NFC, GPS, synch off etc):

From yesterday 23.00 till morning 09.00 lost 11%

From 09.00 till 14:00 lost 4%

From 14.00 till now (23.00) lost 3%

Without touching the phone !!

Don't tell me me there is not something strange !!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] baladev:
what? are you talking to me? have you read my post? Where did i say there is no reason for such behaviour? i said - try to find the reason and it's not the firmware it's something installed on your phone doing that.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] jtrakx:
You've got me all wrong. I'm talking about installing stock ROM (latest version) without any modification i.e. root, cwm, etc and no other apps

installed except samsung built-in apps but still battery drains like hell overnight with almost everything turned-off (wifi, bluetooth, gps, rotation sensor, etc.). So your question is a little bit off topic.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] baladev:
No, not really, because the stock rom is full of bloatware from samsung. I've read reports from other people saying that their camera software or galery or something else, don't remember exactly was uploading their photos to their cloud storage whenever they connected to internet. A lot of stuff can be happening in the background in the stock samsung rom because it's got a lot of stuff in it + the default settings alow synch/backup/downloading updates. Install the light custom rom from this forum, that has everything removed and see how it behaves, alternatively you can use other programs (mentioned one above) to see what's active in the memory of your device and find what's eating your battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] jtrakx:
Ok thanks. I will try silentlight tonight. By the way, I received updates of samsung link from playstore these past few hours and among the reason

for update was the battery drain. Also, I'm using an official S View flip cover from samsung. I was wondering whether there is some sort of sensor activated by this flipcase that keeps my mega from deepsleep.

Have a look here, one more idea for you - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=44428107#post44428107
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] dchsub:
My battery drain problem appears to be related to "cell standby".

If I charge the phone to battery full, unplug, reboot, screen off, data off and leave it to stand by for a night. "Cell standby" alone takes up most battery usage and battery level drops by ~10%. I can constantly repeat that. I think more users are having a problem with radio.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] dchsub:
I am trying to disable fast dormancy to see if that helps slow down cell standby drain.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] SquirtingCherry:
I have to come back @ my comment on the previous page, since today my phone went battery hungry too at night. left it in flight mode during the night as usual but instead of losing 1 or 2% it consumed 12%.

Very strange since the phone should be absolutly doing nothing at all when its locked and in flight mode.

It's not really a problem since im a fairly moderate to light user so i can do 2 days on 1 charge but still.

I also have a strange wake-up problem now, after using the phone a bit and when i press power to lock it, sometimes the screen lights up again after about 5 seconds and goes off again.

I have been facing the same problem: either 1% of the battery lost for 12 hours in airplane mode with everything off or 12% or even more.:D

Looking at the Task manager I noticed yesterday that "Google Play" and "Factory Mode " were running although I have never started them.

I have frozen these 2 applications with Titanium backup as well as Factory test and this night I am back to 1% lost :victory:

I addition this morning I have also frozen: ELM agent and Pagebuddynotisvc.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] dchsub:
Thanks for your tips. I will definitely try. I still rely on Play store app. I move it to user app by Tibu then greenified it. It's your idea that gives me some target to shoot.

Yes, I also need Play store and have also tried to move it to user application with Titanium backup (operation successful) but when I tried to use it it didn't work anymore: opens Ok but when you try to get something it fails !!
