orange are lame and stingy when it comes to data, i mean they got/had exclusive rights to the Touch HD: a multimedia communication device, designed to keep you connected, informed and updated; all of which require a data connection.

Yet their measly fair usage policy limits the potential of the device itself and disables you from using it for its true designed purpose.

My brother uses, youtube, internet (and many things that require a data connection) without even thinking about data usage and fair crappy usage policies on his iphone, o2 provide users of the iphone with an all you can eat buffet (another reason why iphone is doing well)

Orange is like those cheap short-haul airlines, everything extra costs you extra extra
[Touch HD General] fasty:
Excuse me drifting off-topic ever so slightly, but can anyone tell me:

How fussy are Orange about the use of their 1GB off-peak service?

The small print seems to prohibit instant messaging, any kind of non-orange streaming etc.

Do they really make a fuss or block users for small amounts of such usage?

Do they block any ports?

[Touch HD General] AndyCr15:
Last month I used 30 meg, which is the most I EVER have on any phone (and I've had HTC style for 2 or 3 years now?)

I just very seldom have the need to use with such quantities. As I said before, YouTube is the killer. I watched one thing with friends last month and that cost me I guess around 25 meg....

I can't see me coming close to 250 meg unless someone gets the iPlayer working on the HD.
[Touch HD General] arfster:
Maybe that's why Orange ship the HD with the Youtube player broken by default.......;

Expansys here, Combi 15 + W&W. T Mobile has a further £5 option to increase the allowance to 3GB and tethering is welcomed.

If you run over with T Mobile UK, their terms state you will not be charged extra. You could be warned, restricted or recommended a different tariff if you take the P. But you will not get hammered with an unexpectedly large bill.

gprs connection alert?

my operator charges very high for data connection - i browse internet and youtube only via wifi. I don't want to delete my operator connection settings, just want to know when i'm going to be charged...... is there any app or setting witch shows alerts when any application tries to connect via gprs (like im my old nokia)?
[Touch HD General] promexx:
oh my freakin god.

i just installed spb wireless monitor and started testing how much traffic i would use.

surfing two websites and updating stocks and weather costed me 1,5 mb.

then the surprise:

youtube 2 min video were 10 mbs!!!!!

oh yeah, i can imagine how fast 250 mb go away when you watch some videos with your buddy.

that is why i am not going to use youtube too much. :eek:
[Touch HD General] 12q12q:
just to pre-empt people telling me I'm wrong, I feel there are two levels of the 250MB web add on, one is strict and one essentially lets you use "unlimited" as it's only a relaxed 250MB fair use. It seems to be pot luck which you get.

Also, be aware that some peoples fair us policy also talk about a daily fair use of 25MB, regardless of the 250MB a month, again I've never known this enforced but just bear it in mind..
[Touch HD General] 12q12q:
I use youtube only the odd time on 3G data, I wait till I'm near a wifi point.. and for good measure switch off the DATA connection in the comms manager when I enable WiFi for good measure.
[Touch HD General] jacare:
For those concerned about traffic you could use m.youtube.com on your browser... is not as pretty but at least the videos are much more compressed.... :cool:

A good option in the HTC Youtube App should be to be able to chose a "low quality" mode in witch the application would download videos from "m.youtube.com" instead the normal (and big) ones...
[Touch HD General] AndyCr15:
Are these compressed versions the ones used in the YouTube app you get on the HD? If not, why not?

[Touch HD General] Bilbo Fraggins:
Interesting, was just gonna make a post about Orange data.

I found out last night that my unlimited data bundle I got when I renewed a few weeks ago is actually infact a 250mb bundle...

How on earth do they get away with calling it 'unlimted'?

I had to phone customer services today to get them to explain the £78 data charge that shows on my online account since my last bill! The first 2 reps couldn't help me at all because of a system error apparently and the 3rd rep 'thought' I probably wouldn't get charged this when it comes round to billing in a week or so.....

Doesn't exactly fill me with confidence but I'm assured that the bundle is present... Add to that, not 1 of the reps knew what happened if the 250mb limit was exceeded yet they all had completely different stabs in the dark.

Turns out I've only actually used 87mb anyway in 3 weeks or so but I'm still a bit wary of this limit.

Does anyone actually know what this fair use policy entails?

When I was sold the contract I was told it was unlimited (subject to fair use) but really unless I was using the phone as a modem and downloading movies and stuff it would be fine....

Now that doesn't really sound like the 250mb I actually have so I wonder what happens if this gets exceeded? So far I've heard (from Orange reps) that you will get sent a text/letter explaining the usage policy has been breeched and to 'calm down' but I've also heard that you can just be charged for anything over the limit.

Does anyone actually know? :P

Thanks for any help

Justin
[Touch HD General] 12q12q:
If your contract says unlimited internet subject to fair use then you won't be charged, maybe just warned like they say. It would never stand up in court if you took them to small claims and not one of the networks would want a "test case" again what "unlimited" actually means.

However, there are some bundles which are exact, like the old 30MB a month bundle, if you go over you can get charged. read the terms and conditions for your bundle.. not sure about all the new 250MB bundles, like I said there are different types of bundles on Orange, Some unlimited with 250MB Fair use (the add-on whcih customer service can put on for £7.50) some I think might just be 250MB (like what is included with the Panther 45).

I have the unlimited add on with 500MB fair use. I would not let them charge me if I go over unless I had been abusing the system and using it as a modem all the time as it states you can't do that. Incidentally, what is the point in selling a device with a youtube app then saying in your web add on you are not allowed to stream from the internet.. stupid terms and conditions.

too bad their just increasing inclusive data on dongles and not mobiles :mad:

got my HD 3 days ago and loving it

im with orange and have unlimited internet fair usuage at 500mb

on the coms setting shud i always turn data off for wen im not on the net?

does it make a difference while im not browsing ?
[Touch HD General] Riceburner:
Orange switched all (new) data bundles to 500Mb for £5 (except Panther where it's built in) about a month or 2 ago.

I tend to, mainly to save battery power.

It shouldn't cost you anything no - you should only be charged for DATA transfer, not just being active. (there might be tiny amounts of data going back and forth though - I don't actually know).

I just got a 500mb monthly allowance from orange today for the sum of £5 per month. I was paying £4 for 250 so not too bad, thought you might be interested.

[Redmi Note 12 5G / Xiaomi Poco X5] SubwayChamp:
By the official method, you have to add your Mi account to that device, turn off WiFi, and turn on the mobile data, so without a SIM inserted you can´t do it.

Fastboot flashing unlock command, only worked for Xiaomi devices with Android One, for the rest you have Mi Unlock tool.
[Xiaomi Mi 10 Questions & Answers] WinterJr:
Hi everyone! This is my first topic.

I just got a Xiaomi MI 10, and after a feel sucessfull updates I'm having troubles with this one... V12.2.6.0.RJBMIXM

The notification about the updated appears from time to time, and, after I click to download the file, I try to install it and keep receiving the error: "Couldn't update Verification problem". I keep clicking "Try Again" but it failes every single time and it's annoying that phone is reminding me to update every time.

Googling about it, I found this forum and saw that this update that my phone is trying to get, is a rolled back one.

So, what and how can I do it to get an recent update for my phone if I keep only getting this one that's rolled back? I never have updated an android phone manually, just used the official ROM's that's been sended to me by "official channels".

Yes, several times... Its shows the error: "Can't download update Wait a minute or two and try again". On the video that I posted on my last reply I did tried again, returned the same error 😥.

Before I came to this forum, I exchanged some emails with the official xiaomi support (support.global@support.mi.com) and did some testing with this option several times, on different days and different time periods... After these tests (and some others) failed to resolve my issue, the support from Xiaomi suggested that I should bring my device to my local service center for further assistance. But my country doesn't have any official service centers, and I would have to return my device to my dealer to try to use my warranty...

So here we are 🙃

That is the senerio that occurred on my own phone LE2127. But on my wife's phone LE2127 it took a total of 4 days. I started Thursday 3/23 to 3/27 to get it back to full operation with setup and restore. Never happened before. It was like Google was downloading the files at kb/sec rather than mb/sec. It was really frustrating!
[OnePlus 9 Pro] Appreciative:
I had this happen on some of my restores (including Nexus and Pixel devices), with some theory on my OP devices. On one restore, it was so slow that I thought it errored out so I stopped it and restarted the process. Which ended up with my phone only restoring up to where the slow asf one got to and I was missing slightly more than half of my stuff.

Going into my theory:

They both overheated during the process and I figured that it shut down some of the stuff to cool down and made it error/go slow. I was actually quite embarrassed for OnePlus that the 10T overheated within 10 mins of first day use for something as basic as restore. The 9P also showed an overheating warning but I had expected this after the 10T pooped into its socks so I kept it extra cool and it didn't seem as bad but was warming up for sure.

Did you notice an overheated warning at any time?
