Okay...

First, resolution: I don't owe them anything, they currently use a manual process whenever anyone goes over that limit (80GB) to clear it, etc. I've been told that I don't need to curtail my usage, can carry on as normal.

Second, throttling, ToS, etc. I'm on TMo; the unlim data plan for Android (it's a specific thing) doesn't prohibit tethering, according to the folks I spoke to; they do, however, reserve the right to throttle your bandwidth after 10G used.

After I hit 10g (and I noted this earlier on), I received a text message from TMo telling me that they were throttling my speeds (to 50kps). I welcome this, and have no issue with it.

I also noted that despite these messages (I got 'em at roughly every additional 10g mark), my speeds never went down. I informed TMo about this - that their throttling does not appear to be working. If I didn't care about their overall service to others, that'd be shooting myself in the foot - but again, I welcome the throttling. Without it, I have to deal with TMo customer support monthly with illusory 41k$ bills, and I don't want that - I'd far prefer to have my bandwidth cut down to a level where that didn't occur.

As to what I'm doing - my business, I'd say. However, I'll say this: with a newsreader set to download full webpages with images for each article, set to 1000 articles, with a refresh every 30 minutes, and a decent sized list of feeds, it's more than simple to keep network use pegged full-time. No tethering needed.
[Nexus One General] PacoL250:
Got to look at the whole ToS. There are sections about the varying data plans. Trust me, I've had AT&T for years now; actually I had Cingular before AT&T came in, so I've done my research on this. :)

There is a 5 GB cap as mentioned by Kermee as well. Is the policy enforced to the "T"? Doubtful seeing as how AT&T can make more money by charging you for overage than simply terminating your data plan.
[Nexus One General] PacoL250:
I think we don't care what you're doing really, more so a rhetorical question/wonderment as 80 GB is quite a lot. Though a newsreader the way you have set up, yeah that'll eat a lot of data. :)

You're the customer that T-Mo probably wants to keep and please as you're honest about you getting throttled data-wise, etc.

I think it was my fault the debate spilled into AT&T's realm. T-Mo obviously has a different data plan setup than AT&T; however, I was just talking about my experience.
[Nexus One General] Jack Everyman:
Sorry I can't imagine using 81 gigs of data on a phone. I can see 20 maybe 40 but 81 just seems so unbelievably outrageous.
[Nexus One General] Henchman:
FYI, if you do leave te country, I to mexico or canada, turn off your data. Period.

You'll be up to tens of thousands of dollars in no time.
[Nexus One General] treiz:
or you could just get a prepaid sim with data plan in that country and only use it when you are abroad, set up call forwarding to the temporary number.
[Nexus One General] shograt:
"No one will ever need more than 256k of RAM!"

"No one will ever be able to fill up a 1GB hard drive!"

etc, etc. While 81GB may have been a lot of use, consider that it wasn't all in a single direction, and if you can imagine 20 or 40, it's a very small jump to 80. In four years or so, you'll be screaming "Injustice!!!" to the clouds if you're limited to 80GB/month, since your phone will be hopelessly crippled (okay, maybe that'll be eight years. But it -could- be in four.)
[Nexus One General] dlb92:
My friend, at 21mb/sec and soon to be 42mb/sec (T-mobiles new speed limit) 10 gigabytes will be peanuts in months not years.

Thats 1 gig in less than half an hour. You watch one netflix movie on the phone that is 500mb-1 gig. I can do that now with my 4mb/sec connection with t-mobile easily.

Not really. If you get data roaming (or even prepaid international data) on at&t it is "quite cheap", as long as you don't do anything excessive and restrict yourself to email and only emergency google maps/web surfing.

So I flashed the new Fresh ROM and it is taking FOREVER to charge. I finally got it up to 100% and less than 7 hours, it was completely dead.

Any ideas?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smalk:
Me too! Killed my battery in 7 hours while charging overnight!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmoch2:
Have you looked at what's using the battery?

I know in some of the other 2.1 roms, facebook is constantly syncing which kills the battery.

You can use logcat in sdk to see what the phone is doing while it's idle.

Also, service can also change the drain on your battery. I know at work (inside a 3 story brick building) I get horrible service and my phone is dead by noon if it's not plugged in. At home, it can go all day and then some.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Counterfeit7485:
Same issues here. Takes forever to charge and dies quickly. I haven't flashed the new radio yet....could this be this issue?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] appzattak:
I've been using it since he released it and battery life is more than excellent. I can go a whole day then some
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smw6180:
Go under settings, about phone, battery. What is your uptime and awake time?

Then tap on battery use. What has the highest percentage of use time on your battery?

Also check out 'cell standby'. Tap it.. Time Without Signal should be very low, or missing.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Counterfeit7485:
up time 8:57

awake time : 2:42

highest use is close between cell stanby48% and phone idle 47%

time without signal : 0%

BTW my battery was at 38% with little use(a few text msgs and fb mobile a couple of times)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smw6180:
TWS is fine then. Do you have the sync icon constantly running?

And what is your PRL/PRI (sorry if you posted that already).
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Counterfeit7485:
PRI - flipz_01

PRL - 60663
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smw6180:
What about the sync icon?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Counterfeit7485:
sorry....no sync icon
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smw6180:
Weird. Any mods/themes/etc?

What I would do at this point is wipe everything (including ext), and reflash, then see if you still have the problems. I haven't had those issues, so I can't give you anything else to look at.

Perhaps someone else can, but that's all I can think of.

You could try the new radio. Some have said they get much better battery life with it (which is likely caused by the radio not having to search for signal as often...but since your TWS is 0% I'd be surprised if that's it). Try that, then nuke and pave would be my suggestion.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smalk:
Last night was the first night that I had my alarm set. Could this have anything to do with the drain?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Austin3600:
I had a weird issue with the battery. I don't know what exactly caused it and I could not pinpoint it with "Battery Use" nor "Spare Parts." My phone was staying constantly awake though, no matter what.

I eventually just partitioned the SD card, with no ext partitions (no apps2sd), flashed fresh again, and now it's all working great. I am installing my apps very slowly and monitoring them to see which one may have been causing the problem. So far no problems though.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richse:
I was getting decent battery life when I flashed 2.0d originally so this might not help you but after I flashed the newest radio my battery life got way better. I can listen to slacker radio for 4 hours while studying and use the phone intermittently throughout the day and get about 12 hours out of the battery life.

I'm running Fresh Rom and my battery is great. I haven't charged my phone since 6:30am this morning(it's 8:30pm here now) and it's at 60%. I'm using the new radio too.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Austin3600:
scratch what I said yesterday, lol... my phone randomly rebooted overnight and now I can't get it to stop being 100% awake...

EDIT: Tried rebooting, tried "power cycling" phone, did the CDMA (Auto PRL) fix just in case, didn't install any new apps, battery use shows TWS at 0%, Cell Standby Time on = My total uptime.

Spare Parts Battery History shows my phone as 100% running, no sleep time.

Spare parts partial wake usage just shows Android System..

Battery is draining like crazy..
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VinceOB:
That shouldnt be an issue any more. Flipz fixed it in 2.0d.

Change your screen brightness to auto. When I first flashed it was at the highest setting and killing my battery. A lot better now...

how many bars do you show on your phone signal icon?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Austin3600:
goes between 5 out of 6 - sometimes drops to 4 out of 6

This happened to me before, reflashing the ROM plus wiping everything fixed it for days. Last night phone apparently restarted itself because uptime was only 7 hours when I woke up. It's been awake ever since.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hero's Hero:
I did a wipe and flashed everything except the raido this time, and the issue is gone so far.

I've had similar issues with Fresh 2.0d and the DamageControl Eris leak. Awake time is often 100%. I'm not sure what's doing it. Destroying the battery.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Austin3600:
That's what I did... it was working for a few days too... was great until this morning.

Is there any way to monitor what's using the battery in real time via shell or something?

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spiritcrusher33:
something is wonky..but im not sure what..cause my fresh 2.0d rocks.. battery drain none. charges like it should.. maybe its cause im starting froim scratch with a fresh new hero.. but even on my old hero everything was working as should..

all i did was nandroid back to fresh 1.1 then wiped. then flashed fresh 2.0d. and all was good..
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kyouko:
I had the same problem. Wiped data, nothing. Reflashed the ROM a couple times and the problem still persisted. My battery use was about the same, 50/50 on idle and cell standby (w/ 0% tws) but it still drained like crazy without even using it.

The problem finally went away for me when I cleared out the dalvik-cache manually after pushing some apk's to /system/app and installing Flipz audiofix. I still have the old radio and my phone lasts forever now, I can easily go a whole day without even thinking about recharging.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moises1204:
whats the radio you have? flash the 1.04.01.09.21 in to it, I was having the same issues PLUS my phone was over heating and voice fading with 2.42.00.03.10 radio and this one 1.04.01.09.21 fix that issue.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wonbattlelost:
hey guys, just wanted to let you know how i fixed my battery issue with the dc based roms. simple: i flashed the verizon radio supplied by flipz :) i also use his pri, which idk if that makes any difference, but i have it, and its working great. for the first time, im actually able to use my phone, even at extreme use, and have battery for 24 hours.

yay!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lineman78:
I had an issue today where my phone was losing battery at an unbelievable rate (drained in a couple hours). I plugged it in and all that did was make it really hot. the charging light was on, but I was still losing bat. the temp alarm went off at like 45c and I turned the phone off and charged it for a bit. I do work in a bunker and have low roaming to no signal, but it has never drained this fast.

On a related note, I did find a bug today... If your phone is plugged into a computer when it is powered on, the usb debugging warning notification icon won't go away after you unplug it. you have to restart.

PS Most of my battery usage goes to cell standby. any way to help that?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lineman78:
It seemed like all the power that was supposed to be going to the battery wasn't. it has to be doing something major to turn that much electricity into heat. Usb 2 max current and still draining battery. The only unusual thing I noticed on my battery usage was locale was using the gps a lot, and like I said I'm in a bunker. I just rooted 2 weeks ago with fresh 2.0d, do you think flashing would help, or should I just flash the radio provided by flipz?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wonbattlelost:
ok well in most cases a radio is a bigger deal then a rom. nandroid wont restore the radio, and theres aaaaalwaaaayss the chance of bricking

id advice taking these steps:

1. wipe everything, and reflash your rom

2. make sure to recalibrate your battery using treve method

3. keep an eye on your awake time and usage details, and take into consideration what it is your using the most, and how it could be impacting your phone

4. if all else fails, yes, flash a new radio and see if that works. of course, if you feel you must avoid flashing a radio, then simply try a different ROM. flipz is extremely solid, but i personally have always gotten better results from damagecontrol. these results are my PERSONAL experience only, so take it with a grain of salt.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lineman78:
As I said, I just started rooting a couple weeks ago, and I haven't had time to mess around with different ROMs. I would like to try DamageControl, but haven't yet. I do like Fresh, especially the optional flashes like the vanilla lock screen. The majority of my batter usage is cell standby. It is almost always in the upper 30% range. In the last 45 min since I unplugged it and came to work(mostly idle) here is the battery usage:

38% Cell Standby

37% Phone Idle

19% WiFi

6% Display

Is the high cell standby usage usually indicative of a radio problem? Those stats are for reasonably good reception. For the rest of the day I will have poor/no reception and can post the stats after.

I have been waiting for this phone for months now and about 6 days ago i got it.

I wanted to get my contact from my outlook..NOPP

I wanted to connect my laptop to the phone and get a internet connection... NOPP

This is basic business needs. Now i have to remove my sim card and put it in my old SE X1. Whats the point in that?

If anyone at Sony Ericsson reads this... FIXA DETTA NU FÖR HELVETE!!! (Fix this now #%¤#%¤/)

I need a APP so i can share my internet to my PC with USB or with WIFI and i need a APP so i can sync my outlook. Simple as that!!!

As it is now and after looking in Android store the Sony Ericsson X10i is a game phone for kids with rich parents!!!

BIG SYNTAXXX ERROR
[XPERIA X10 General] Evostance:
Ok, its a phone running Android.

For a start you can tether your internet connection via USB and you can sync with Outlook
[XPERIA X10 General] Trekster:
Where did it say it was a business phone?? If anything it's marketed as a multimedia phone!

Most businesses use Exchange and Moxier(included on phone) does a fine job of syncing both contacts, tasks & e-mail. So i'm happy.

As far as sharing an internet connection that will be possible when the phone is rooted and you can convert it to an WiFi hotspot.

Perhaps there are people using outlook that can help you in that department as that's definitely possible.

Nowhere does it state "internet sharing" - and only recently Android got native(w. 2.1) ActiveSync compatibility...and Android is still a very long way away from being a true Business oriented OS - not quite up to W6.5 levels yet and WP7 seems to depart the business oriented as well.

While I understand google wants to lock users into their services not syncing with outlook, both desktop and exchange, both over the air and direct sync, without using "their" cloud, weakens the OS.

...why don't you shut up and ask first?

Sync your miserable outlook to Google then your phone will sync it. If you want to sync to some crappy Exchange Server then use the Moxi client on your phone.

For tethering install either PdaNet or EasyTether Lite or some other app from the market.

But the suggestion about sync my outlook with a google account is not what i wanted. Call exchange crappy as much as you want its still used by many companys world wide.

[XPERIA X10 General] krabman:
Yeah, this is one of the issues that everyone was beating up the iphone for (weak in the business market without remote wipe, snycing issues, etc.) since its introduction and in my mind the same applies here. Android should be able to sync with outlook directly, both exchange and desktop, its a fundemental need for many as far as business use goes. That the program is or isnt good doesnt matter because its not about what we want anyways. If it was about what I wanted a naked supermodel would drop by every so often and sync my phone for me.
[XPERIA X10 General] emuneee:
You can export your contacts from Outlook into a CSV file. You can then import this CSV file into your GMail account (create one if you don't have one). Then add this GMail account to the X10 and it will copy over your contacts as well.

I don't think think there is a solution for any Android device to sync with Microsoft Outlook...sorry buddy. To be honest, if Outlook syncing was a priority:

a) should've done the investigative work before purchasing

b) just get an awesome windows mobile device as it will have a more complete ActiveSync feature set, get an HTC HD2
[XPERIA X10 General] afhstingray:
this is exactly what i did. took less than five minutes to get everything sorted. copying to/from sim is annoying and it screws up if ur contacts have several phone numbers
[XPERIA X10 General] krabman:
Some of us did our homework and in fact are still doing it right now, I dont have a android handset yet. Lets consider my options. I hate where MS is going with winmo7, if I wanted an iphone I could have bought one a long time ago. Cant stand the restrictions. Not really against 6.X though. Had a bunch of em already though and long for a change. About the only one I would consider is the HD2 except the form factor is a wee bit large for me. Not a deal breaker there but the lack of 3G is pretty much a killer. So winmo is out, iphone is out. I would probably pick up an N900 but there again you have a lack of 3G which in a modern smartphone can be painful. Thats out. I like palm but neither form factor works for me, same issue with crackberry. This pretty much leaves android which only has one major gripe for me, the lack of proper outlooks support which I have already stated is IMO a basic need for many business users and something which should be out of the box on any smartphone. Now I am not saying you or anyone should agree with these things but this is my view. I find it amusing that pretty much everyone hacked on the iphone over its lack of proper business support and the notoriously obstinate Jobs has been kicked and dragged into increasing the those capabilities with each release to where with the upcoming release that support will be fairly rounded. Seems to me somebody an awful lot of people must want it to get that prick to relent. For my purposes I dont need to sync anything but contacts so I can work around this weakness in the platform and will probably pick up the N1 when my feet hit the beach in a few days. That doesnt mean I am going to pretend everything is all rosy and if they dont fix this and I find it too annoying to to work around I will move on. My mission in life isnt to fill googles pockets. So there it is, perhaps we can converse without the presumption of stupidity. BTW, some of us wont be using gmail at all, shocking, isnt it?
