I will ignore you hypocrite freeloaders about my financial situation. Its personal anyways, everyone to themselves.

I have been talking to 02 and they tell me there is no select criteria for charging GPRS. They can tell you how much you used, but not when you used it. They say it can be from months ago.

What boggles me is why some people are charged and some are not.

The argument that few people have presented about not being charged if you dont take the piss does not make any sense at all.

If they have a set system of billing for GPRS usage, they should charge you. Right now, it seems as if its an adhoc billing system which is seriously flawed.

Furthermore, I had a word with the 02 customer care when I was getting the XDA2s contract. They confirmed that GPRS is free. Yesterday morning, they said yes indeed it is free till september. On another call someone said it wasnt free and I have been misinformed.

Their whole customer support staff is seriously under-trained. This one guy told me that browsing is free but downloading and saving content on your pda is always charged. I mean what the **** does that mean.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] gavinfabl:
downloading & saving stuff - that guy was thinking of wap, not gprs and hence the confusion .

what o2 do is give 3-6 months free of any new service when you add it, but dont always tell you.

eg i got a text 3months after adding data 36 saying i hadn't been charged for my excess mb's but i would be next month.

i was in spain last month and today discovered the 16.5mb's gprs cost me £113. now thats unfair and a ripoff .
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] cruisin-thru:
I have a Tesco Mobile payandgo sim. I have been surfing happily via port 8080 for some time now. Yesterday I topped up a tenner as I got a message that wap is only available when you have at least 50p credit. Anyway I made a couple of calls and later I went online to check something out, I didnt download anything but it wasnt long before "page cannot be found" came up followed by "you are out of credit". I suppose I could always get it back by shoplifting in their stores. :wink:
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mike freegan:
Well, at £2.35 per MB, you theoretically get about 800 messages for £1 I think.

However, I installed SPB GPRS monitor on my old XDA2, and noticed it actually costs about 35p to connect and disconnect GPRS , even before signing in to MSN!! I thought this was a bit off!

Despite what the service providers tell you, it also costs a few quid a day just to be signed in on a GPRS account! Luckily 02 have not billed me for my small usage, but I reckon I use up to £7 some months. I thought it required no data transfer to stay connected though :S
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] robboy:
this reminds me when text messages were in there infancy, they used to cost a bomb until they became widely used then the price came down, lets hope gprs does the same (although im not getting charged at the moment).

on another note i really don't think o2 know what they are doing. do you remember last year when they forgot to charge thousands of people for three months then billed them 5 months later in one lump sum. its true this happened to some of my friends
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] weasel:
No so Mike; I initially thought this was the case, but since found out that the default settings for SPB GPRS monitor round up usage in 100Kb, so simply connecting & disconnecting uses 100K. In fact it uses 2Kb - one each for connect & disconnect - I am told that O2 round data usage in 1Kb chunks. Just change your SPB settings & thereafter, you'll see the usage figures change to reflect the new settings.

I have verified my usage against my monthly bill/statement & with 1Kb rounding, the figures I have & those of O2 are pretty close
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Pyrofer:
I have been using port 8080 on payg, its been free for ages, but recently they started charging. As its PayG i cant get in debt.

But what REALLY gets my goat is that I CANT USE MSN. Or email.

They block EVERYTHING except crappy wap and http.

I WANT TO PAY FOR IT. I WANT TO USE IT.

Im begging to give them money but they wont allow full access for any amount, I cant buy ANY bundle or get the internet properly, I wouldnt mind paying for it !

Jees O2, sort it out, why should Payg People who pay more in the first place be given a worse restricted service???
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] vo1968:
:shock: i've been on o2 pay & go for a couple of years, all good, 300 free txts, loads of free GPRS internet usage. £10 a month top-up required, but i "upgraded" to Talkalotmore, £15 a month. Surpossed to get 150mins free off-peak calls+ free txts and GPRS. BUT it's all gone POO, one night everything is free the next you're paying for it. :?: :?: :?:
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] dmmh:
using gprs when roaming isnt a good idea indeed
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] joey jojo:
I was that person who "claimed" to work for o2 . I did work at o2 at the time, and yes I said they wasn't charging for gprs at that time. if u had read the rest of the comments I posted, I also stated that they don't make it public, and they can start charging again at any time. so if u only saw free gprs and decided to over use it like a greedy gprs user u was then being charged .

also if you had read carefully also u would have seen I called a friend who worked in gprs support who told me it was free at the time.

so because u are so ignorant to "overuse" something thinking u can cos its free, I'm glad u were hit hard with a big bill.
[HTC One X] combat goofwing:
So my 18th month contract is up and if I want I can get an upgrade,a couple a month's ago it would have been sorted and I would have the HTC one lined up to replace my one x ,but since 4.2 I'm loving this phone again and still doing everything I want .Been tempted for a bigger phone and with the note 3 out soon I have to say that I'm tempted to try it but I'm not really sure I want to leave HTC,had the touch pro2,then desire HD then the one x and still love HTC devices .I'm thinking of waiting until Feb 2014 for the next htc flagship,or if they release are larger version of the HTC one ,decision's,decision's any advice ?
[HTC One X] drali500:
If you like htc you can wait for htc one max which is a great phablet and you won't regret it :D
[HTC One X] luciferps:
Wait till 2014 end nexus 5 5inch and maybe new 8cores lineup with 2gb ram.. have fun with one x this year.
[HTC One X] hardbender:
I will do the same. HTC One is a beautiful phone, but I think I'm gona skip it. Hope the successor will be even better. :D
[HTC One X] combat goofwing:
i was Reading about this but when is it due to be released ?
[HTC One X] hamdir:
Due your question is actually part of HTC's problem

Many HTC fans actually keep their devices far longer than apple or even Samsung flagships

iPhone users will jump to the next the moment its announced,meanwhile I kept my Desire HD for 2 and a half year

Eitherway I guess since we are almost end year you can certainly wait for the HTC One 2014, they actually kept their flagship going a full year this time without a refresh (unlike all before), so I'm sure in MWC 2014 will be ready for day one launch, trouble free, most likely It will carry an updated s800 or even the next or Tegra 5 (Nivida would beg them to take it again)

The Max is something else, its a phablet, check the leaked photos its extra huge

Either way make sure to get HTC since you like it already, they really need their fans in 2014 or bust
[HTC One X] sookster54:
I would have stayed with my HTC Desire but my mother needed a decent phone and I was due for an upgrade, went with an LG Optimus LTE (Nitro HD) and was unhappy with it as I had to send it in twice for repairs and ended up switching for an HTC One X and I'm glad I did, I'll probably hang onto it for a couple more years as most of the new phones are simply getting TOO BIG and they're all the same now too.

And yes it's true about HTC and also Motorola users that stick to their devices for longer, my sister's best friend has gone through 3 Samsung Galaxies each time they released the new version... heh
[HTC One X] combat goofwing:
thanks Hamdir, having followed you in the DHD, then all the build up for the ONE X you did and the thread ( even though it looked nothing the the leaked photos)i think you could be right if there are no more flagship devices then the 2014 device coud be market ready from the off

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] claire13524:
Hi, i have a samsung galaxy ace, my network is now doing ota updates to receive 4g, I want to try it so..

I need to go back to my stock ROM (after flashing a custom one) I did a nandroid back up before flashing so exactly how do I do this, do I need to wipe cache etc? In fact instructions would be appreciated,

Also, can I receive ota updates on a rooted device? If not, how do I unroot?

Thanks xx
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper The Ripper:
Galaxy Ace can't use 4G networks due to the hardware it has :eek:

Restore your backup:

1. Wipe data/factory reset

2. Wipe cache partition

3. Wipe dalvik-cache

4. Restore your nand ;)

To unroot you need to flash unroot.zip file ;)

Q regarding Jelly Bean, non rooted phone.

Is there an app that can periodically backup (copy/paste) your entire internal storage to your external sd card?

I've been looking for an hour and I can't find any. There are backup apps, but I didn't find any that could do

just

that one simple task for me.

I mean, I can do it manually by copying files with any file explorer but that is not the point.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Biohead:
Its impossible really.

3UK have decided to opt for a new format of sim called a USIM. These will only work in 3G devices such as the universal. Non-3G phones cannot read the sim and say Sim error or similar.

Only the very first 3 SIMs worked in 2.5G phones, but 3 CAN tell if you are doing this and will kill your sim and send you a new usim.

More info on 3G - www.3g.co.uk

Hey guys,

I'm using an LG-E975 Optimus G, unlocked by FreeGee and rooted with motochopper.

I'm getting these random crashes, which normally happens once every day. Typically when I'm sleeping.

I get a Demigod crash handler : External Modem

I flashed a 4.2.2 ROM (Thinking Bridge) onto it, seems to be a build off of CM, I don't know if that makes any difference to you :3

Googleing the error doesn't really lead me anywhere, there's one guy on XDA that had the same problem, but the thread is dead :/

I noticed that my Google Apps for some reason eats almost all the battery, maybe that's related ?

peecee DOT dk/uploads/092013/Screenshot_2013-09-07-12-50-52.png

I don't mind that it happens once a day, especially if I'm asleep, but the screen stays on with the Demigod crash handler, maybe there's a way to just make the phone reboot ?

I would really appreciate your help :),
[LG Optimus G (International)] kimitza:
use betterbatterystats and cpu spy to see if the phone works right.

BBS is to see what is eating the battery and if there are wakelocks and cpu spy to see if the phone goes into deepsleep.

And it's known, custom roms will drain more the battery than stock. it's normal, custom roms are unofficial builds,not supported by lg.
[LG Optimus G (International)] tramperdk:
I don't mind the battery usage, it's fine, i know what's using the batery, cause i can keep track of it all days, and when the phone throws a panic at night, it lays there with full screen brightness and never dims down or anything, that's what's eating battery.

You don't have any suggestion to the actual problem ?, the exception caught by Demigod ?

Nonetheless it's nice of you to reply :)
[LG Optimus G (International)] kimitza:
it may be an app causing this. it happened to me when i tried to use spirit ul for fm radio. my guess is something is trying to acces a function not available and you get this.

make a clean install of the rom you want and try not to restore apps with titanium. install them from playstore.
[LG Optimus G (International)] tramperdk:
It was a completely fresh ROM, i installed it 2 days ago, happend on the very first night :)

Will logcat or something pick up what's happening ?
[LG Optimus G (International)] tramperdk:
Just tried flashing the RC of Cyanogenmod, same problem, about once or twice a day it throws a demigod error :/
[LG Optimus G (International)] bikerboi85:
Hey mate I was having the exact same issue as u so I thought I'd experiment by flashing the custom ROM I wanted then flashing the original hong Kong baseband 10A afterwards. Its been 2 days no crash yet. I don't know what area ur in but try the baseband that's best for u. There's a thread on here where someone uploaded the Canada, Brazil and HK stock baseband.

I'm still waiting right now to see if it crashes but its lasted longer than just flashing a custom ROM alone. If this proves to be successful I'll post a thread for those who experience this issue and how to fix
[LG Optimus G (International)] tramperdk:

Hi, I have exact the same external modem error! It's verry annoying, I am wondering wether it's a baseband error or some hardware faillure. On stock I don't have the blue screen, but often the signal falls out and I think the modem is restarting (not able to have signal for 2 or 3 minutes). On custom roms, the kernel panic value is set so that there is an immediate panic, so that's why there is a blue screen. I installed trickster mod and went to sysctl kernel settings and typed panic in the searchbox and made all the values equal to 0 (which means off). Now I don't have blue screens, but I have the annoying signal drop issue.

How do I flash a korean baseband on my device? It solved tons of issues on my Optimus 2x too, but there was a risk of imei loss.
[LG Optimus G (International)] M4jQ:
Do you solve this problem? I have the same situation. ...

Wysłane z mojego LG-E975 przy użyciu Tapatalka
[LG Optimus G (International)] x_justin:
I might have found the solution thanks to Faust93! I googled a bit and found certain confirmations too. The modem seems sensitive for C2 and C3 power states (when the modem tries to idle, it enters a power saving mode).

You can disable this setting with fauxclock.

Im on stock right now, but LG must have disabled this power state on her modem (or just let the modem crash, which might also happen from time to time). I think mine is crashing on stock too, I see a red cross about 10 times a day, but no bluescreen, just disappearing signal for 20 seconds.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2342175 << search for C2 and you will find!
[LG Optimus G (International)] M4jQ:
unfortunately it did not help. modem still reseting. but on omnirom + f93 kernel it is only modem reset without crash (same situation on stock). i think it must be hardware problem. i send phone to lg service and they send me back with note "test ok" :(
