[XPERIA X10 General] bloodsuckingcomputer:
I am no expert in this,but I believe x10 doesn't cause this,in my case and in where I live,I have never receive any split messages for quiet a long time already..(years...)and I often send and receive sms of more than 500 character and it is sent,received and displayed just fine.I strongly believe,this is due to your carrier,however,I just have no proof,and below is the screenshot me sending an sms to myself in more than 1000 characters,and I send,received and displayed just fine.

Have a nice day:)
[XPERIA X10 General] Deviantelf:
Even before Android, SMS was 160 characters. Some phones had the options or only allowed one or more choices of: messages ends at 160 characters - end of message and the sender has to manually create a new message to continue (and you naturally get more than one message), the sender types indefinitely and the messages splits into 2 (or more) SMS, OR it changes into a MMS. This is not something the receiver has a choice on. It's the person's phone who sends the message and the options they pick (and are allowed) that cause this. Android is the same way... since SMS and MMS is still the same though I don't know what the MMS limit is.

There may be a carrier default (aside from the 160 SMS characters which is universal). Often there's options the sender either doesn't know about or hasn't changed. Many have unlimited text so it doesn't matter if they send 14 SMS messages at once. :)

[XPERIA X10 General] anarchyuk:
if it is a custom rom and it comes from a cdma handset this could be the issue as cdma doesnt support longer than 160,,, so it may cause such issues.

miui roms have issues like this sometimes.
[XPERIA X10 General] stanzzzzz:
Hi guys just my 2 cents, don't know the rates if an mms in ur country. But my advice if you are going to write a long mesh always use Mms as it gives u 1000 words n will cost you cheaper than sending a long mesg via SMS like 3 parts which will cost u more..n mms are just fine, u don't need to attach a pictures along with it. I can just use mms as a normal SMS if u want to write a big mesg....cheers

what are the best GPS apps for the android OS? not social networking location based apps but those that deal more so with logistics, tracking, mapping, driving directions, etc.
[Android Apps and Games] marvin02:
You may want to add details about what you want to do with the app.

Do you need offline (cached) maps?

Is finding a POI (store, restaurant, hospital) important?

Spoken turn-by-turn directions?

Will you be using the app for remote locations with few or no roads (hiking, etc.)?

Do you want to be able to save tracking data?
[Android Apps and Games] black_squirrel_bx:
i'm looking for the most downloaded apps for pretty much all of what is listed above, but specifically i'm looking for tracking apps that would allow someone to track speed, location, time, direction, all the real life meta data related to something like a car or truck moving down a road or highway. i'm trying to gather market research and the project i am working on doesn't really employ POI as a main selling point.

Have a look at oruxmaps for android... DAM fine in my opinion... Use it for both work and pleasure and fits ALL my outdoor needs....
[Android Apps and Games] black_squirrel_bx:
works in the background or has to be in the foreground? works in the united states? where does the mapping information come from, NAVTEQ?

is there anyway to search the android market place from a computer or do i need to do it from an android phone? http://www.android.com/ does not have a search query or i just can't find it...

also, any reviews for these websites with regards to searching for apps and the information contained on them? http://www.androlib.com and http://www.andbot.com/
[Android Apps and Games] lohtse:
Just google oruxmaps for more info...but just works online and offline with maps it works in usa etc.just look at website and make sure you download the atlas creator too.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] prudviraj:
Guys,

I have a sony vaio and i have a mode called Enable Battery Care Function where the app restricts the battery to stop charging at 80% which would multiply the life of a notebook battery (says Sony) there is another mode super care function @ 50%. I find this handy because i always have the power plugged in for my laptop.

Similarly i always have my HD2 plugged in to my notebook, so i keep recharging and may be over charging the device too and burn my recharge cycles. So can an app limit my charging to 80% or so? anybody share the same feeling?

Maybe an app can help.

Thanks,

Raj

commonsense would say it stupid.

stinginess would say it smart.

unless of course, you plan to use that phone for few decades where no more battery would be on sale. then you better start take good care of that battery.

Well,

I never use a phone for more than an year, you can see my list.. but what i do is to maintain it properly. I also have 2 spare batteries with me. so answer to my question if you know or pass.. this forum is no place for crap for someone with post count of 15.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] troed:
Well, I have my Sony Vaio TT92 with ext.batt (big one) now for 1,5 yrs in everyday use and until February had it in batt-save-mode 80%. It lasted about 10 hrs. with 50% screen-brightness and volume 50 %. Now in Feb it started to last only 7 hrs and less. Now I switched to full charge to get 9 hrs. of working time.

On the other hand I have my HTC Touch HD now for 2,5 yrs and until Dec. 2009 in full use, since my HD2 arrived as backup phone with a "xtra" sim-card so both the HD2 and Touch HD are ringing. I reduced e-mail download on my Touch HD to once a day and the batt after unplugging at 6 am shows still 98-99 % in the evening at 10 pm with the original batt that came with the phone.

What do I want to tell You: drain and charging cycles do not seem to affect small batts with little Ah-drain as much as notebook batts, so it seems to me.

For my HD2 I bought the ext.batt and it is fine for 2 days of full work with it. When I see it deteriorating I will buy a new one.

Or, more probable, the HD3 :D

Hi all,

I am sometimes using my HD2 to show children's tv shows to my 1 year-old and would like to somehow disable touch controls of the player so that it should be hard to stop the video or exit the player by touching the screen...

Anyone out there that know of any solution for this?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjsimmons:
Okay, so I have an AT&T N1. I've been in Mexico for the last half of last week. I got my N1 just over two weeks ago. For some insane reason, according to AT&T's website, I've used 2260 mb of data since 5/24. I don't stream movies to my phone (was using iPhone previously), don't download movies to them, nothing like that.

Does this sound even remotely right? It seems so far out in left field for me that I'm really confused as to what's going on. Anyone else have similar usage?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] online142154:
I was looking at my data usage and found it has increased dramatically with my N1. I am on ATT and noticed on a daily basis around 1:00 a.m. I send anywhere from 3.6 - 8.1 megabytes... I don't know what it is or where it goes.

any ideas?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjsimmons:
I wanna say before my N1 I was hovering around 700mb monthly. After, like I said, I'm up to 2260. I was using Google Listen to download over 3G, but there's no way it grabbed enough podcasts over 3G to account for this increase.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
you sure about that? because i use listen religiously, and guess what, it downloads ALL your subscriptions automatically. go into listen and check all your subsciptions and see if each episode has the size underneath it. if it does, it was downloaded to your device.

this happens to me all the time.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tweitzel:
I have my Nexus One for two weeks now, too. In that time, my Nexus One has received approx. 200 MB and sent 10 MB, mostly via WLAN.

To get an overview yourself, go to the dialer and enter *#*#4636#*#* (*#*#INFO#*#*) as described in another thread on this forum. An activity called "Testing" will appear. Select "Battery history". Select "Network usage" from the first drop-down selector, and "Total in all time" from the second one.

A button list will appear with all applications that have contributed to your traffic. Blue is received bytes, red is sent bytes. Just tap the button to get the details.

You might use this data to compare it to the information you got from the provider.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Eek, you used 2 gigs of data internationally?

RIP OP
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] attn1:
That's a problem alright.

OP, double check what is being synced and how often. If you are traveling internationally, TURN DATA OFF and leech off of wifi where you can.

I've been running around 500mb/month tops since I got my N1. I really don't stream much, and I use wifi instead of 3g as much as possible to save battery. I am just guessing that most of my data use is for the GPS Nav, which I have used occasionally and never on a long trip. I haven't really been worried about data use, since I have an unlimited plan, but I'll definitely remember this for next time I leave the States.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotweiss:
I used 24 GB's last month, but I was also doing a lot of tethering. 2 GB can easily be done in a couple of days depending on what you do...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donniesd:
Agreed. Did 19 here.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clickwir:
I don't know for sure, but I have a pretty good idea of what it is. Usage data. Everything you touched, where you touched it, how long you touched it... wow that sounds dirty.

haha, anyway. Usage data. Everything you did on the phone. Every button that was pressed, how many milliseconds you spent doing this or that. How long you spent reading something and what angle the phone was at during that time. Anything and everything they can track, gathered up and sent back to be processed.

What do they do with all that data? I don't know which is more important to them, but they'll use it to make the phone and UI better. Make it smoother and find out what features people do and don't use. They are also going to look at what methods would be best to send advertising to you and sell more AdWords to companies.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjsimmons:
No, no no no. I'm much smarter than that. :) My guess would be the podcasts, I suppose, but I just don't remember getting THAT many. It just shocked me to see such a high number when I expected less (I'm grandfathered in to the unlimited data, but was curious anyways).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JanetPanic:
I use about 2Gb a month when I do not tether. It goes up from there depending on how much I tether but it rarely goes above 10-11 Gb.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noiz7:
I am also going to be grandfathered into the unlimited data plan and was wondering if some of you who use 10+ GB a month are on AT&T? Any complaints from them about using so much data?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osugsxr:
averaging around 4-6gb last few months, some tethering for work and what not. Mainly from playing with new roms and seeing what I like.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] online142154:
I wonder if that is what process 1013 is? I used the *#*#INFO*#*# and could see all the processes and bytes (amazing how much data passes doing a speed test). I could drill in on all of the processes except for 1013 .. it crashed every time and I couldn't find any info on what that process is.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pfmiller:
I've been using between 500MB and 1GB since I got the N1 in January. Only one month so far did I actually got over 1GB. Probably most of that is from music streaming and navigation in the car. I'm curious to see how that usage changes when I get my wifi tethering :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nDrg:
I'm pretty sure that's the total. Mine was 10075 and crashed as well. I thought I was a pretty heavy user with around 400MB a month :P

Guys I went through about 4 different battery type chargers which ran of AA's and all sorts. All were useless and generated more heat than delivered juice to my Desire.

On the plus note I eventually found http://www.amazon.co.uk/Proporta-30423-USB-Turbocharger-3400/dp/B002DYGQI6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1276088348&sr=8-1

I have a Just mobile Gum pro - it's 4400 mAh capacity and can charge pretty much anything that you can charge over usb. You recharge the pack over mini usb (mains or PC)

http://www.expansys.com/d.aspx?i=166301

I use it with my iPod touch, MiFi and my desire and it works great, outputs at 1000mA so the desire sees it as mains charging.

I haven't needed it much with the desire yet as I have mains chargers at home and and in the office but with my G1 I got 3 full charges of the phone before having to recharge the Gum pro. It's pretty compact too so not a problem to keep in my gadget bag.

Hope this helps

After 3 or 4 recharging cycles I found out it charges my Desire fully only one and a half times, so I'm little bit disappointed. Is this normal? I thought it should recharge it at least 2 and a half times * 1400 mAh = 3500 mAh. The battery is 4000 mAh, so that shouldn't be a problem. Any suggestions besides returning it?

[Desire Accessories] stingerpl:
http://www.portablepowersupplies.co.uk/

I have the 3400mAh one, cant complain.
[Desire Accessories] @MARK:
Are you turning the phone OFF whilst you charge it?

In which case yes your calculation would be correct.

But if your phone is still on then it is using power whilst being charged so the charger will need more capacity. If the emergency charger is also a low output (say 300mA as I have seen some really cheap ones) then it will take even longer to charge and hence the phone running will actually deplete the charger even quicker.
[Desire Accessories] blablacio:
The phone was switched on but taking into consideration that when switched on and not used the battery needs a recharge after 3 days I think that it can't be consuming that much for the 2 hours of recharge.

The output of the external battery is 1A when one device is connected to it, otherwise 0.5A with 2 devices - it charges the phone slightly faster than the wall charger I believe no matter that the wall charger outputs 1A too.

Another interesting observation is that when using phone's bundled charging cable with the external battery it takes the same time to charge as when charging it from USB. It seems the cable has some kind of logic inside it and thinks it is connected to USB without taking into consideration the 1A output of the external battery. When charging with the cable included in the external battery package it seems to be charging at 1A and I think that explains the fast charging time.

I will try charging when the phone is switched off but I don't think there would be much performance gain from this. Eventually I'll email Energizer to ask them about this issue.

Any ideas and clarification on the matter are welcome of course :)
[Desire Accessories] stingerpl:
This is a standard feature for every phone charged via USB.

If the datapins (two middle pins) on the usb port are shortened (connected) together, the phone will recognize the source as AC charger and drain as much power as it can. When the pins are not shortened. It will drain only the maximum of the USB port specification to not damage the port in Your computer. All the wall chargers have the datapins shortened on their side. I guess the cable provided has those pins shortened as well.
