same here.. i switched tariffs yesterday to get a 1gb monthly limit..

you can turn off internet connection via mobile networks.. might be worth trying to save data.. also i'm using the opera web browser as it uses a lot less data.. also turn off background sync altogether.. wont stop your emails etc....
[Desire General] khaytsus:
If the phone goes into standby, by default it turns off WiFi and switches to cellular data. It's in the setup Wireless menus, there's options on when to do this, including never which means all network connectivity will cease when the phone is in standby, so no push email etc.
[Desire General] rhedgehog:
no, never means that the wifi never turns off and it will continue to use wifi when in standby.

however, if you have it set to 15 minutes, then yes the wifi will turn off and go back to cellular data.
[Desire General] poldie:
I'd install 3gwatchdog (which monitors your data usage, excluding wifi), and then start quitting apps, making whatever changes you want to try and see what's causing it.
[Desire General] wonderstoat:
Thanks guys, I already had Wi-fi sleep set to 'never'.

Ok today I have no Wi-fi and up to 1600 I have used over 30mb.

These are the apps I believe are drawing data down (28mb is data in).

BBC headlines widget, set to 2hrs

Guardian app, only downloads on Wi-fi

Facebook 2 hrs

Twitter 2 hrs

Google location - allow wireless location

Email for both corporate and hotmail accounts.

I can't think of anything else. This is all consistent with my hd2 but it was using far less. I can't believe there isn't an app that can slice it by app.

By default, data when roaming is disabled so this should not be an issue unless you are like me where I am roaming from the second I walk out of the office door so need to have this enabled. I must remember to turn this off when I get on a plane
[Desire General] peterhartman:
Web Albums?

I was seeing 6MB+ download figures per day until I disabled "Sync Picasa Web Albums" in Settings>Accounts & sync>Google.

Now I am down to less than 1MB per day.

any news on requested application?

[Desire General] micks_address:
have you tried 3g watchdog application?
[Desire General] wonderstoat:
3g watchdog to my knowledge does not identify which apps are using the data. I can't find anything that does, which is strange because there were lots of windows mobile apps that did this. I wonder if this is some limitation within android itself?

true but at least you can see data being used so that you can start experimenting with apps..
[Desire General] ranwej:
*#*#4636#*#*

then click on Battery History

then choose Network Usage.

You can choose log from last charge unplug or total time etc...

When you click on app name, you can view downloaded and uploaded data.

Blue bar is download and red bar is upload...
[Desire General] micks_address:
can you add a contact or shortcut for the number? its very handy... but hard to memorise!
[Desire General] wonderstoat:
I think I found the culprit. The (non official) BBC app seems to have been pulling down well over a MB

per hour, no matter what options I selected. I removed it and reduced the frequency of some of the other Facebook, Twitter feeds and the data quantity is much more manageable now. Pity, cause it was a great app, but it's much more cost effective to check out the news on the excellent BBC mobile site on a 'pull' basis than have what effectively turned out to be the entire BBC news site replicated on a minute by minute basis ...

hmmm..according to your method I just found out that a lot of data is used by "dialer". any clue why dialer should access internet? (facebook, gmail sync of contacts is disabled)
[Desire General] Dave G:
I've got issues as well, at first I thought 3g Watchdog was wrong but my bill has just confirmed it wasn't! For example yesterday I apparently downloaded 36mb and uploaded 54mb, using the key combo above all my applications were barely visible except for 'internet' which was massive, the only thing I can think it is is that I have iGoogle as my homepage and thats constantly refreshing. I didn't fire up any apps yesterday that would use data so I'm hoping its that. I've got a 500mb cap, it would last about 2 weeks at this rate
[Desire General] krohme:
just out of interest does anyone know if the 500mb monthly free data allowance from orange, has a fair use policy ( meaning can I go over this slightly) or does it just mean once you've used up 500mb of data you will begin to get charged for data connection?

I don't know why but the desire seems to drink data without my knowledge.. :confused:

even after turning of background data etc my allowance is all used up :mad:
[Desire General] gordy1:
I use the toggle data widget from the app store when I am abroad.
[Desire General] slokii:
I just found an app that does what it's supposed to do. its called My Data Manager. I use the free version which tracks data usage per app - also divided per mobile data, wi-fi and roaming.

recommend!
[Desire General] Lothaen:
I think the data tariff's suck at the moment in the UK.

I used to be on unlimited (but with fair usage, which they got me on a couple of times before) - but now they dropped me to 500mb a month which I said was too low - with everything being smartphone orientated these days - how can you be so restricted? it's fine for people with a non-smart phone but android and iphone i imagine can get to 500mb pretty quick.

I had to up mine to 1GB as I used up 75% in about 4 days, but that is the max that o2 allow at the moment - which seems stupid as in the US they seem to have tariff's of about 1/2/4GB? (anyone able to confirm?) while we are stuck with 100/200/1024MB

Craziness...

at least t mobile and 3 are offering 'truely unlimited' data bundles at the moment - i'm tempted to switch as i dont want o2 ripping more money out of me if I go over 1gb :(
[Desire General] Rusty!:
Giffgaff do truly unlimited as well, which is nice.
[Desire General] eBookworm42:
SPB Wireless Monitor is released for android aswell. I am using it and it shows data usage for every app separately, and it also shows WiFi/Mobile networks separately.
[Desire General] Invisible Elf:
Are any of you using custom browsers? I believe that Miren browser has a habit of auto refreshing sites that feature auto refresh, even while the browser is in the background. So if I left an online newspaper open, it would auto refresh once in a while without me know. Note: I have not tested this! But I did find my data usage to go down after I froze Miren and started using the in built browser again.

Anyone else having this problem?

I've been able to add the 'Facebook for HTC Sense' but when I go to 'Add account', the Android Facebook app shows up but selecting doesn't do anything?
[Desire General] brandall:
I have the same problem. Go to add a account, but selecting it does nothing. It's therefore not updating my contact pictures from Facebook anymore.....

Anyone help?
[Desire General] brandall:
Duplicate Post.
[Desire General] bcmobile:
Did you install the update for the Android version from the market by any chance?
[Desire General] bradavon:
Yes why?

The same problem for me. What is it supposed to do? "Facebook for HTC Sense" works well and there is a separate Facebook App. I don't recall seeing it in this list before I upgraded.

"Facebook for HTC Sense" does that. Do you have it enabled?
[Desire General] sh500:
I had the problem with and without updates installed. I'm not getting any notifications for Facebook.
[Desire General] brandall:
Yes, and it does sync, but the linked FB pictures stay the same.

I can't remember about any updates.....
[Desire General] bradavon:
Do you have the Contact "linked" with their Facebook account?
[Desire General] brandall:
Yup... It did sync originally, but the same picture remains even if their FB prof pic has changed since...

The only thing I can think that I've done is removed the FB (non sense) from the accounts and sync list. Trying to add it back in doesn't work. Facebook highlights, but no options appear.....

Arse.
[Desire General] rhedgehog:
just do it in the app itself. when i tap it in mine after a hard reset, it opens the app.
[Desire General] bradavon:
Is that all it does? Open Facebook for Android.

It works for me. I've never opened Facebook in the Sync Settings, just the HTC one. You could try unlinking it all and re-linking it.
[Desire General] brandall:
I've tried unlinking and relinking but it still doesn't change the picture. It updates the status and events within the contact, but its almost like there is a block on updating the photo....

Not a massive deal, but its just irritating me now!
[Desire General] bradavon:
Have you tried unlinking and re-linking a particular contact? If it works, do the rest. A right pain in the neck but worth it, if it works.
[Desire General] brandall:
Yes, I've tried it on a couple of different contacts that have the FB link and have updated their photo since first sync, but no joy....
[Desire General] bradavon:
I've noticed some friends photos aren't updating, some others are though. One is stuck on their profile photo he used in March (now different) but another changed the other day.

Their Status Updates are updating though. Weird!

[neoTouch S200 General] henryvli:
same as you guys. you know, i have though of various method. Of course, method like calling steve jobs and threaten him isn't realistic. This is what I came up with and worked with my acer phone:

get some tape, tape all over your acer s200, make sure it's all covered, and then you smash it against the floor. After a while you will find acer's connection hole became bigger. you plug your regular iphone usb cable in and ta-da, it worked like a real iphone now!

[HD2 General] dailydriver:
Hey guys, I have two HD2's. The wife's phone is always on 3G and mine is on Edge only. I have them side by side and it doesn't matter if I reset the phone to factory. It's still selecting Edge.

I call TMO and they said to go into all setting/users/... and change the network to manual and select T-Mobile. This is the only way I can stay on 3G. This does work though, but my wife's HD2 doesn't require this "manual" setting.

Do you think my phone is defective and should I exchange it? It's almost a month since I got it too. I do have insurance.
[General Topics] TigerSoul925:
Hi people!

I'm not fully set into the whole thing about system images and the emulator. What I'm doing here is running the emulator with a 1.6 system.img to get to the pay apps since it's not available in Sweden. I'm then transferring them to my phone. It's the only way here when the apps aren't available on slideme etc.

Question: I've run into the problem of getting 1.6 specific apps even when 2.1 versions are available from the market due to the 1.6 system being emulated. Is there any hacked system.img for 2.1 yet or any other way of fooling the market that I am using a 2.1 version phone. All I need is to get the 2.1 version down, it doens't have to work on the emulator phone, I just need it to get downloaded from the market.

Hope this isn't considered "warez" here or something, I'm paying for the apps I'm downloading.

Some good tips on the site.
[Desire General] killyouridols:

on the other hand you could use the official Google Maps which has full Navigation.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
From that link...

EDIT: Please not that as of today 21/04/2010. Googe HAVE implemented turn by turn navigation for the UK. Simply use the default maps app that came pre-installed on your device to use this functionality.
[Desire General] claudefrog:
I think you are missing the point, you can search the destination by voice using the google maps.

[General Questions and Answers] francomur99:
Htc will probably update the Htc Hero with android 2.1 in June. The thing that really annoys me, is that there is not stable version , a part of that the real nightmare of the confusion on wich method to use without bricking the device.... moreover for the 3UK customers with Spotify is going to be a big dilemma. If I decide to root the phone and install another ROM I will certainly loose the subscription service isn't it? Is there out there some smart guy that can root my phone and install a stable 2.1 ROM with wifi, bluetooth, and the market without loosing Spotify for 50 box ?
[General Questions and Answers] eaglesteve:
I did'nt realise that Hero hasn't got 2.1 update yet even by now. Someone told me Hero has already got it, but it's obvious now that it is the unofficial cooked ROM he was referring to.

Are there many different methods available for rooting? Isn't there general consensus yet on which would be the safest method?
[General Questions and Answers] francomur99:
Root method

You can check in youtube a video : How to root your Hero with one click,it will bring you the web site UnLockr.com which it will give you all the information you need. Seems to me that the GoldCard method is one of few thatis good for Hero,Once you root the phone backup the device with nandroid then is up to you to find the best ROM on the net....Vanilla and BeHero are the most avdanced and stable. if you never done it before I would recommend to buy a second hand phone and try until you get it right. Ah!! Do not forget the recovery Image....I have seen today a clear guide I will send to you if you need it.

Hi guys,

Just got my new HD2... finally!

Anyway its telstra branded and I have some experience with flashing roms as I use to have a jasjam that i pretty much raped with flashing every time i got bored with a rom.

Anyway on to the point, Ive been trying flash my new Hd2.. im pretty sure im following the instructions but each time I do, i get a error.

Ive searched the forums but cant seem to find anything relevant.

Specs on the fone are

Flash Size: 512mb

OS version: 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)

Manilla Version: 1.0.19211622.1

ROM Version: 1.49.841.1 (71528) WWE

ROM Date: 23 Nov 2009

Radio Version: 2.05.51.11

Protocol Version: 15.28.50.07U

----------------------------------------

Images attached:

Error 1 is when I try to flash my HD from a official RoM from the HTC site, using this file:

_HTC HD2_RUU_Leo_HKCSL_WWE_1.72.831.1_Radio_CRC_Signed_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Ship

Error 2 is from trying to use the Hardspls2

----------------------------------------

Its like its telling me its incompatible but Im pretty sure they are.. Am I missing something? I really want to debrand the Telstra stuff and use a nice RoM from here, is anyone able to point me in the right direction?

Thanks heaps! :)

[HD2 General] matthewawad:
Question

How did you resolve your issues? I'm having similar ones
[HD2 General] bigdonk:
for the T9193 you must use HSPL, and not use HSPL2.

In addition, HSPL only works with SPL version 1.42.

SPL 1.42 is only available in the shipped HTC 1.49 ROM version. See here for shipped 1.49 Telstra ROM.

So, you need to ensure you've got SPL 1.42 installed, then HSPL, then flash to what ever you like...

Guys,

Seems like there are lots of threads popping up with new 'packages'. I thought we should create a thread solely for the discussion of kernel hacks/patches so that we can separate the two:

For those of you who dont know, http://gitorious.org/linux-on-qualcomm-s-msm/linux-msm-xdadev is the repo were are working on.

Just to clarify, this topic is ONLY for discussion regarding Kernel patches. Thanks to vdelf's headset patch it seems sensible to focus on:

1. Backlight always on problem FIXED 01/05/10 (vdelf)

2. Battery Issue FIXED 11/05/10 (drlucky)

3. Camera

4. USB

5. GPS
[XPERIA X1 Android Development] vdelf:
Makes sense. Lets add USB to the list. While charging works, data transfer does not. Also USB might allow us to debug kernel/android on the x1 and that is what dev's always dream of :D
