How much Data do you use in a month. I finally made the plunge to a Pocket PC Phone, an HTC TYTN. So far I am loving it. It takes a lot of getting use to the way you dial phone numbers vs my old Motorola V3i flip phone, but none the less this is a great phone.

Back to the question at hand. How much data do you use in a month, what do you do with your phone.

I am trying to justify the size of the data plan I should be on. I am on some sort of Starter plan for the moment which I know won't be enough.

Average I plan to download about 20 emails a day and respond to about 5, use MSN Messenger for a few hours at least.

Spend an hour a day on websites. (no heavy graphics pages)

So how much do you use,
[General Questions and Answers] Urthwhyte:
I'm currently using around 75-100megabytes a month sending/receving 20-40 emails a day, as well as heavy browsing of HoFo, XDA, and various blogs during downtime. I also subscribe to various RSS feeds via Outlook 2007, and then syncing those folders via Exchange.

when I was using my hermes with pieplus and images off i was going to about 200mb a month. After allowing images that jumped to 400-500mb a month. I am now doing everything on it and using it as a modem and i am up to 2gb a month. I download a lot of podcasts every week and youtube really burns the bandwidth.

The only affordable way I know of to do this is with three. it costs me $40 aud a month and I also get 4000 minutes of unmetred skype that I cant actually use because they only do it with a preconfigured symbian version of skype. there are also email and tv bundled with my account but i have not used those yet. the email is supposed to be unmetered so I guess that would mean that attachments would cost nothing to download, are there any other three members who can confirm this?

[General Questions and Answers] Urthwhyte:
Unless you're downloading a ton of attachments, email is most likely not going to push you over 10MB, even with a few hundred a month. Push adds a little overhead, but assuming a 24 hours a day, 7 days a week connection, thats still only around 1MB of data.

Well on Rogers in BC Canada, 500mb plan would be $210, which is way more expensive than I wanted to go. I am looking at the 100mb plan,

$60 25MB per month additional $7 per MB 101 to 300 e-mails per day

That is on top of the $100 per month for my regular cell contract.
[General Questions and Answers] Urthwhyte:
Ouch, that really sucks. At those rates, it's probaly cheaper to get a Blackberry or something from Cingular with the Unlimited International Roaming, which I believe is only $70. However, that's probaly not what you want to do, so you're best bet is probaly to get something like SPB GPRS Monitor and have it cut off data usage at 95% of maximum alloted.
[General Questions and Answers] Capt Fiero:
Thanks Urthwhyte

I will have to look up that app and install it. Right now I don't have a clue how much data I am using.

For reference here is a link to the data plans available to me. (note that does not include my $100 per month for my voice contract.)

I'm currently using http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/gprsmonitor/?en but I also beleive the newest beta version of batterystatus also does monitoring. If you only intend to use email, you should be more than fine with 25MB of usage. However, anything other than extremely light webbrowsing will go through that in a heartbeat.

At the Canadian data rates? O.o
[General Questions and Answers] Capt Fiero:
When it comes to raw downloading that will all be done by my home server, I have a 10mb (speeds of roughly 1000kBps) cable internet connection and 2tb of data storage at my house. I could never see trying to do torrents on my cell. However it is a neat concept.

Thanks again for the monitoring link, that should come in really helpful.
[General Questions and Answers] OdeeanRDeathshead:
I have not noticed any throttling when on my phone internet either. I occasionally use it to finish off a torrent and it seems that it just goes full speed. My greatest enemy is other users. When nobody knew about the service i use i could easily get onto hspda with my trinity or hermes, speeds of 800kbs+. now there are adds everywhere for the $30 1gb data modem pack i find that in normal hours i can only get standard umts speeds of 256-300kbs.

it does not matter for the bulk of my use. when used purely as a pda it seems windows mobile can not get anywhere near the speed my laptop sees. it feels like a 56kbs dial up connection when opening pages. I don't know if its the rendering in pie or just wm, if i use minimo it is MUCH slowers still.

edit: i just downloaded a 24mb podcast in the time it took to type this post!

[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bigblueshock:
This is a simple question, but I'm wondering if the answer is complex...

With Android 5.1 and below, Google backed up Apps, and certain system settings, etc, but NEVER app data itself.

With 6.0, I noticed some apps (depending if they're compatible with google API's) back up and restore app data as well, included with the app restoration.

You may ask, why would this guy not want google to restore app data?

Simple... In my testing for a seperate issue, I ran into a serious wake lock problem. After a full RUU, full wipe, and reinstallation of a Marshmallow ROM on my M8, I am getting constant wakelocks and battery drains after all my apps are restored with their data.

I would like to test to see if it is faulty data possibly restored with an app, but that unfortunately gets restored with Google's App backup now.

Anyone know if there's a way to system wide wipe app data? NOT just the cache? Or just tell Google only to backup Apps and not data?

Thank you!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] robocuff:
The answer is simple although it's probably not what you want to hear. Don't let Google restore your apps. Do it the old fashioned way. Start clean and install your apps as you need them.

If you're not willing to do that, I'd suggest using Titanium Backup to restore your apps instead of Google. With TB you can choose to restore apps without the data. If it were me though, I'd just bite the bullet and install them one at a time. Seems to me that in a case like yours, that would be the best way to go.

Make a backup of what you have now with TWRP. Then start fresh. If you figure out what's going on, you could maybe restore the backup and fix what needs fixing on it.

[MENTION=2693148]bigblueshock[/MENTION] you aren't by chance using a 5ghz Wi-Fi network are you?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bigblueshock:
[MENTION=4185912]robocuff[/MENTION] - Yeah i suppose so. It doesn't take too much more time to install one by one. I guess an extra few minutes.

I am... Bad idea? =/ I can always do 2.4 instead if that makes a difference.

I also made sure wifi scanning is off.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] dottat:
There's a hellish 5ghz wakelock bug on MM. Try 2.4ghz or cellular and see if it sleeps.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bigblueshock:
Will try this too. Ill just completely turn off 5 GHZ in my wifi options, just to make sure it doesn't try to connect to any.

I will report back if this helps. Thanks again!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bigblueshock:
Well, just want to provide an update...

It may not be marshmallow causing this after all. I just did a full clean flash into Viper 4.6.1 (android 5.0.2)

During the day and evening phone was fine. Over night is when the wake locks started happening sporadically. In about 6 hours, dropped about 10%. I checked Wakelock Detector app, and it seems google play services is really pumping out those wakes.

I don't really use bluetooth, I only have 1 device even paired with my phone (my car which disconnects when turned off). But I do keep bluetooth Enabled

I just charged my phone to 100%, turned on Airplane mode + wifi. I'm going to monitor during the day. Is there a way to detect within wakelock detector exactly what part of android is causing this? It doesn't seem like an app itself, because the wakes are coming from android system. Or could an app be causing the google play services wake?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] bigblueshock:
Hey [MENTION=3472611]dottat[/MENTION] and others. I ran into something funny I figured I'd share :) Not sure of the cause, but take a look. I posted in the respective ROM's thread, but I thought I'd share it in the Q&A as well.

[IMG="Battery"]http://i.imgur.com/ab82pmh.png[/IMG]

A day before this, I temporarily went back to a 5.0.1/5.0.2 ROM, found out it was an app or two trying to destroy my battery in the background with high GPS usage. After adjusting and fixing, Phone drained normally, maybe like 4% a whole nights of sleep.

Fast forward, I reflash Marshmallow ROM, set it up, and no more wakelocks/excessive battery drain. I charge the phone with my QC2.0 Charger (QC probably isn't enabled anyway in kernel, but didn't make a difference to me) from about 50% to 100% and unplug, and go to sleep.

This morning I woke up to phone at 86%. I check wakelock detector, and power history, nothing out of ordinary. Scratching my head at this point, I restart the phone, and BAM, phone is at 35%.

Some points below

1) I believe it was the first time I charged the phone fully, not sure if that had anything to do with it. I've never needed to calibrate battery in past...

2) Wifi was strictly on 2.4 Ghz. Cellular coverage is good. GPS is on, but not being used.

This sounds like a longshot, but I'm leaning to the kernel probably not supporting QC2.0, and it being detrimental to charging the phone. Possibly ROM thinking it's enabled, but kernel is disabled. So right now I'm charging the phone to 100% using a computer USB port (500mA max) just for testing purposes.

Have anyone ever seen this before?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pipp0o:
Hello guys, sorry because may be this is the 50th time someone ask this question but the situation change every day. Yesterday I won from lottery and decide to go from G3 to G4. My model is European H815, I want to ask you can I root G4, change the recovery and e.t.c. without unlocking the bootloader? And also if I unlocked it is their any way to locked it again or to use my warranty? Thank you!!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Waleedaligomaa:
well you can only root using low effort root(google it or find it here ) But to change recovery you have to unlock bootloader

No there is no way confirmed to relock your bootloader

GOOD LUCK

Thank you! If I root by this way and download Flashify and try to change recover what will happen ? Thank you!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Waleedaligomaa:
without bootloader unlocked nothing will chnage ( recovery wont be installed ) and when you reboot your phone it will get u error (authentication error #9) as i remember and you will have to flash new firmware using lg flash tool 2014 so i dont recommend you do so

if u wanna change recovery unlock ur bootloader

you are welcome anytime
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misterten:
I did not get it, I hope you can light me up:

1. Doing root using low effort root means rooting without unlocking bootloader? (because I flew over the thread and did not read anything about it)

2. If I do unlock Marshmallow's bootloader, what happens when I downgrade to Lollipop via flashing proper KDZ? (I would guess that the unlocked bootlader will be overwritten!? So flashing Marshmallow again would end up in a locked bootloader, doesn't it?)

thanks
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] volginster:
You can root lollipop without unlocking bootloader but with marshmalow you can't, you have to unlock the bootloader.

You need an unlocked bootloader for custom recovery.

Bootloader unlocking is a one way operation , you can't go back.

Hi All,

Tried to read all the posting about WM6 ROM from any version for prophet and i have some conclusion about this :

- All the Prophet in WM5 is having minor problem but when using WM6 some mayor bugs comes up.

- Most the thread discussing about WIfi problem, BT problem, SDCard problem

- Some applications sometimes make the prophet boot screen freeze.

- After few days, the flashing ROM is going unstable such as : alignscreen, no working button, glitch sound from the speaker etc.

- Battery drain from some ROM version is very fast and the indicator indicate the mistaken bar.

- The included application (not OEM application) cannot be upgraded because if you upgrade the application then you want to uninstall, the problem will occured since the registry still in the ROM and sometimes make the prophet freeze and need to hard reset.

Also beside some bugs in the WM6 ROM,there are some advantages such as : better view screen and better application performance.

Hope this will help you who want to upgrade to WM6 from WM5.

Thanks
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] yamilrx:
I've had issues with device freezing up at boot up, once it required a hard reset. Also I've been unable to download a medical program mobile micromedex as I get a missing memory card error. Otherwise so far so good including battery life.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 ROM Development] rondol1:
I agree, but keep in mind that the "base"WM5 was officially written for the Prophet, the WM6 is taken from other devices. This makes it much harder for the cooks to get a full picture of the different drivers, as those files take care for the hardware.

So, most problems don't origin in WM6, but in the differences between the devices.

But again, I agree that WM6 on a Prophet isn't 100% stable yet.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] mjs2011:
Hopefully this thread will be allowed. I know there are plenty of subforums for each watch, but I'm curious what everyone's preference is. I have about $150 in Amazon gift cards and the Asus Zenwatch 2 looks nice but damn that Huawei Watch is tempting.

Thoughts?!?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] cidica:
I have the moto 360 and have had it for a bit over 2 months now. I've always been kinda against wearable tech but being where I work I like knowing my products so I usually pick up the things I sell and use them myself.

I honestly love the watch took me a week and I was totally sold on them. I've tried the LG as well as the Asus and the Huawei as well both good with pros and cons. Personally I'll take my 2nd gen moto over all of the ones I've tried (46mm version) the battery life and me getting a full 3 days of use out of it before I havwnto charge it again keeps me happy. I want with the black with black metal band. Came with 3 extra links to make the watch band larger which was nice found out from my moto rep at work it should of had 4 and she actually brought me a new pack of bands free (4 new ones) since there was a mistake in packaging. They are also doing that for other customers that didn't get them which is cool.

The one I picked was $399 bit cheaper cause of my discounts at work but even at that price its well worth it. Nice to not have my phone in my hands all of the time now and most anything I want to do for replying to text messages, making phone calls or answering my phone and reading fb messages I do from the watch and much faster. Voice detection does mess up in a bit louder spots but I can deal with that for now. Great watch and I would buy the gen 3 without a doubt when it's released next hear sometime.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] alobear:
I'd get the huawei watch. it looks nice and classy, I have the moto 360.. but don't care for it much.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Laike:
If you're willing to try something different, give the Pebble Time Steel a shot. I'm a huge fan of the always on screen and the battery life is a good 7-10 days. I actually jumped ship from iOS recently and I've been really impressed with how much better the integration is with my Nexus 6p versus my old iPhone.

If I had to stick to Android Wear though, Huawei for sure. It looks very good.
