Anyone using any software that can keep track of all of the above on a monthly basis? Or separate apps for each?

Thanks looks like a great little app for data usage tracking. Do you know if the app needs to be running for it to keep track of data be sent/received?
Anyone help with SMS/MMS/voice counters?
OK so I found this, Smaato Cost:
http://www.freewarepalm.com/communication/smaatocost.shtml
It's actually Adware, not Freeware, but seems to be a very handy app. It keeps track of SMS, voice minutes and data.
Although it doesn't seem to be counting data, it's just stuck on zero
I use SMS Counter and it works a treat!

Hmm, sounds like a cool program, downloading 7 day trial now. Hopes it works as advertise. If it does, I'll consider paying for it.
But is there a free solution out there?
I have been looking for such program for a long time until I found MagiCall.
It works smoothly. Althought it is not free, I think it is worth the money. I'll buy it soon.
try "call sms blocker", blocks unwanted callers as well as sms

I have the trial version installed on my 8125, and yes the program works when it keeps the settings that were saved. I have to keep entering the no. I want blocked. I don't think it's worth the money.

It is not necessary to enter the no manually. You can select them from the Contacts or the phone log history. And it supports wildcards * and ?
It has a feature that I think is better than other products is that it filters Outlook's categories. So that I can put unwanted callers to a special category and let it block them.
It has never failed during my trial period.
I am taking part in a 1 week cycle for charity. During that time I would like to be able to give people the option to locate me.
I know about sprite terminator but done want to give people the password for that. During th ejournet while I am on the bike I will not have internet access.
Is this easily possible ?
Can I install a program that will accept sms gps location requsts?
Is there some other (better) way to do this ?
many thanks

It is very easy with this...
I use SportsDo. Works great, and you can post to Facebook etc...
thanks guys, do either of these services work via sms? remember I will not have any internet connection while on the bike.
SportsDo doesnt. Check this link out for other programs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471864&highlight=sportsdo
actually I have just realised that my o2 sim (mobile internet) works in the phone so that provides the possibility of a constant on internet connection (I have a 10GB data plan with them).
So, I am looking at Sportsdo again. The only problem I am seeing is power. The app does not seem to have a power saving (backlight off) mode. Is this correct ? How do other SportsDo users cope with power usage?
many thanks

Can you confirm, does SportsDo have a power saving mode ? How do you invoke it ?
Many thanks

How do i close a program in the magic, i dont want it running in the background. Is there a prog like a taskmanager or something..??
Hi ,
Download "advance task manager lite" off the Market. This is a very very helpful app which can close all your programs running and very simple to use. And it is Free.
If you need anymore help feel free to post back
CLLC
There is no such app in my market. Can anyone share a free version? Thanks

It's a free version. The actual name is "Advanced Task Manager Lite" so do a search on "Advanced".
I did do a search and can't find it. Anyone else managed to find it under Rogers in Canada?
I can easy find it. I use it every day, but i find it a bit strange that you cant close apps in any other way! And alot of programs doesnt have a "Quit/Exit" function.
Does anyone have any explanation to why its not possible to close programs without download extra programs?
you know,
I think i heard Something about when you leave the app , it does actually sort of close.
It saves the state you left it in (freezes) and unfreezes when you enter it again. So really the App is not running or using any comsumption at all until you are in the app.

This is true.
It is because android is awesome at app management. There is no real need for closing apps. It leaves apps kinda open (saves their state in ram) but not running. That`s why most apps open so fast. And even though more ram is "in use" it doesn`t cost you battery life.
Thanks for confirming ,
What a fantatic way , The OS is fantastic and I can guarantee that Android has alot of potential and Can only get better and come up with more technological breaking idea's!!

Oh i didnt know that!! Sounds really fantastic. I have to get used to a whole new way of thinking then, i think im too used to windows
Anyway. I love Android more and more. But i was shocked when i found out that you cant send or receive files via bluetooth. I hope this is their number 1. priority in the next released. I mean, comon .. phones have been able to do this for 10 years now!

i did not find it either. i m using rogers too
but you can download Close Everything at Market for free.
i think those apps are similar. the only difference is you have to close EVERYTHING instead of choosing an app to end it.
anyway, the system is not getting slower even i open lots apps.
maybe, the "freeze" thing is true
yesterday I had my phone fully charged before i got to sleep, in the morning 8 hours later the battery was almost empty. GPS and WIFI was disabeld, so I think all the programs in the "background" ( a lot ) killed the battery.
Or what do you think killed the batt?

that did not happen to me yet
if you disable background data usage in data sync that will save batt life and lower data usage too.
do not know if that helps at all

alarms still work (tested just now)
i do not know how that app works ~oops~
maybe it does not work at all hahaha
not all programs stop running. some are designed to run in the background
the only real way to check what is running is to use a task manager
I paid $0.99 for advanced task manager. Its a good, but basic app. And hardly breaks the bank at that price!
The other issue I get is "go slows" sometimes on the phone. It doesn't seem to crash, just response times go into the seconds. I switch off and on to soft reset and its fine.

Why should I disable data usage? If i have an app that use data, then I only need to close the app. Please correct me if I´m wrong.
Just got the Hero - love it. Is there any way to track the 3G activity to make sure I don't go over my monthly limit? Can't find anything in settings but are there any market apps that would do the trick?
thanks
i am sure phonalyzr would do it, among logging many other things such as calls, data usage, power usage etc. it seems to be pretty popular from what i have heard.
Thanks. I can't find that in the market which is either because I am from Ireland (no market support here) or have a sim free phone.
Any other (non copy protected) apps?
thanks.

3G watchdog
net counter
there's bound to be others.
just search the market for 3g, counter or monitor.
something should show up.
you should be able to see the free apps, but if there is no Google Checkout launched in Ireland, then no, paid apps will not appear. nothing to do with being SIM free, cos i've seen paid apps on SIM free phones here in England.
I wonder.... if they don't show up in Eire, would they show up in the North on the UK networks??? maybe that's for another thread!
netsentry, you can set a limit and everything
I installed netcounter and netsentry but netsentry gets my vote. perect.
thanks for help and recommendations.

Is there any way to keep track of the amount of data transferred through GPRS.
I currently subscripe to 200mb transfer per month, so I would like to keep track of this or it could become pretty expensive for me
If you google, you'll find a couple of commercial ones, but I found this for free a while ago. To be honest, I haven't a clue where I got it from, but it was definitely free.
Ave it!
Thats exactly what I had in mind!
Thanks alot!!

You're welcome
It's a good app - very basic, but does exactly what you need. If I remember correctly, it also ensures that it's always running, until you manually stop it, so if you reboot your phone when it's running, it starts when the phone boots up again.
This looks pretty cool.
Shame it's not got a nicer looking icon
Scary how much data browsing full web pages uses but this device is just sooooo good at it

Yeah it sure works perfectly.
Nice to be able to set the date when it's supposed to restore as well.
Actually I don't find it in the task manager, at least not as a program, so it's no risk that one closes it unintentionally, which is great. It's really super
+1
Thanks
it'S a trial version ... go to "about" and it ask you for a serial number.
It most certainly is.
Well, as long as it's not a trial that will expire it works just fine for me, I don't need any other functions.
I seem to be getting red crosses in the connections is that normal?
That happens when your connection isn't active. If you start surfin the cross will probably disappear
Seems to work so far. 25kb just for email (imap4 headers) and weather update But again the problem that the connection doesn't disconnect by itself after 60sec (seems to happen when I update the weather, otherwise it seems to disconnect fine)
Did you do the tweak so it disconnects?
Remember to disable all auto-update, including weather and TIME!
Then it works with the autodisconnect.

Yes, I installed the cab and every auto-update is off. when browsing with opera or watching youtube it disconnects, but when I update weather manually it doesn't disconnect. wired.
