i live near Nepal (near China) and just got my hands on my Nexus one.. i was wondering how i can download apps from the androidlib website from my computer... i do not have data connection on my Nexus one YET but i did try using GPRS data connection yesterday and the phone ate up all my prepaid balance on my fone while downloading the new multitouch update in the background TWICE !! i am still wondering how to stop all unwanted data connection running on the background (i have all sync off in settings) because i dont have unlimited data transfer .. i am thinkin of getting a wi-fi router soon.. LOL... in the Androidlib website there is no DOWNLOAD link except for the QR image even after registering for an account.. and my N1 dont come with a pre installed barcode scanner.. so what are my options ? can someone send me .apk files for the Free Advanced task manager and Home++ .. i need these 2 applications badly at the moment.. And finally is anyone experiencing any battery weakness after the OTA update ?

You will love it.
My favorite IM program is Palringo. http://www.palringo.com
It connects to everything. It doesn't use up that much memory. It plays nicely if you want it to run all the time. You have to sign up with them, but I've gotten 0 emails from them and they work on the concept of freeware. Check it out.
i'm trying palringo, it seems like it will be nice, but it will not let me sign on to AIM. it says that i have been connecting and disconnecting too frequently. but i have never even signed on. every time i click on AIM then change my status to online it says logging in then that i've been connecting and disconnecting too frequently. any suggestions?
keep trying.. after 3 or 4 attempts, it should connect
palringo requires you to have a browser connection to be online.
sooo
does the free aim program on the wing run from the wifi network... or does it charge u on the edge network?? because i was using webmessenger on the wifi i think and wasnt sure if it was actually usuing it on the edge network... and i really dont wanna be charged for the edge network so can i jus use wifi whenever i wanna use aol instant messenger with a free program downloaded to my wing.. ?
u dnt get charge for edge unless you u have a data plan. dnt listen to tmobile. their internet is not like other networks pay-for-use instead it get a data plan or get dnt get sh!t. i recommend getting tzones 5.99 dnt worry wat tmobile say about it (than i help you set it up so u can use it with the best software like im+ & aim 2.0 "offical aol software") pm me
i posted this but someone took it down what i said before is the OZ im suite that comes with the tmobile wing you can find it in the .cabs for wing thread i think just reinstall that .cab i use it for aim alone. it also offers icq and yahoo but i prefer to just use the text version of yahoo... All over a gprs connection which means no added charges ( if you have unlimited texts that is )
Hi guys!
Already asked in other sub-forum, but no reply there, hopefully more luck here.
Since GPRS and other mobile internet is expense in Belgium, isn't there an application that loads the weather report for the next week, everytime you sync your Touch Dual (or whatever HTC...) to your PC/Laptop. That way, you wouldn't have to use GPRS to get weather reports.
In my case it would drastically lower my gprs cost(since I sync every day!), and still have the eye candy of all those fancy apps you guys made here!
Grtz & thx very much!
in my country gprs is also so expensive..so I need it too..anyone can help us?
try this
1-turn on flight mode
2-sync your phone
3-tap update on weather app you use
Doesn't it work to turn on wifi (if your phone has it) and instead of using GPRS, it loads the data over the wifi? I know I've done this with Google Maps, and many other programs since I don't have a data plan.
Spb Weather does exactly what you want.
In the options you can specify to sync when docked and otherwise to sync only manually.
I'm using it since a while and had no sync through GPRS till now.
Don't know where it is getting it's info from or how, but i have just put Mobile Shell on a Himalaya, XDA II, and put a pay-as-you-go SIM in it with no credit.
Left it for a while after telling the weather bit where i am and lo and behold the weather forecast has updated.
Hey,
I have a G4 Wizard, Model Wiza100(With a Camera). I'm using a generic MDA Windows Mobile v6 rom. I recently bought this phone off a friend, mine broke and I didn't want to pay 100s for a rather crappy go phone. I do not have the Data Plan for AT&T and was wondering if there was a way to configure my wizard to NEVER automatically connect to the internet. I'd also like to find a way to have it be able to browse while connected to wifi. Thanks guys, -Strife
Bumb. Any help guys?
Go into start, settings, connections, tap manage existing connections, general tab and tap delete settings. I think this should remove internet connections settings and you wont be able to connect.
Your phone shouldn't connect to gprs anyway unless you open your web browser or other app (like weather program) without being connected to wifi
Sweet, thanks man. I never really need to use the internet on my phone, I was just skeptical of downloading weather addons and such because I didn't want it to access the internet. Also, everytime I let someone use my phone they end up opening internet explorer anyways. I guess we will see the bill at the end of the month, but this should stop it. Thanks again.

Then download apps that let YOU decide when things get updated.
Also, you could try using NoData from MoDaCo (free registration on site required to see/download attachments). Pay attention to their warnings, though: you must have GPRS settings installed for it to work
It'll basically render GPRS inoperable unless you absolutely NEED it, then you just run NoData again, and enable GPRS, and Bob's your mother's sister's husband.
Sweet, thanks for the heads up. Seems like I had No Data on my phone from the MDA Rom. Alright cool, well now I know how to use No Data. Thanks again!
I seem to have unwanted apps connecting to my 3G service every day. According to 3G Watchdog the apps are:
Network Location com.android.qxdmlog
HTC Message Uploader
HTC Sense
I use APNDroid, and use it to turn off 3G at all times. I also have Auto-Sync disabled in my Accounts and Sync settings. I have Background Data enabled, however, as disabling it seems to stop the Market app working.
How can I detect and stop the rogue app from connecting each day?
Had the same problem.
I solved it with that two app's.
TrafficStats and DroidWall.
The first tell me, which one goes out and the firewall (DroidWall) allowed me to stop that for wifi or umts or both.
But! You need custom Kernel to use the firewall!
Ok, hope could help you.

3G Watchdog also tells me which apps are using the connection (as per my first post), but what I'm trying to work out it how to stop it?
DroidWall?
Give a try, it works.
Ivi
And no, i dont knew to stop that, cos it would generet a lot og problem to deinstall this stock software, why dont try to make them blind with a firewall?
Sent from my HTC Vision
purpose ?
what is the purpose in disallowing sense to use data ? doesn't it need it to update widgets and such ?
also
if you're going to disallow it access to updates, why use sense ?
I don't think setting up additional layers of applications backgrounded will save any battery life (hint) if that is the intent. take a read into exactly what background data is used for before you start denying acess.
also, those are not rogue applications.
Actually I'm not using Sense - I'm using Launcher Pro Plus and shooting for a vanilla Android experience, as I'm on a par-per-connection data contract.

I just downloaded Droidwall but it needs root access and I haven't been brave enough to root my Desire Z yet. I've seen some pretty complex guides to doing this - are there any simple options?
I think any kind of network blockage requires root as it is suppised to communicate with linux internally somehow? I forgot how it worked but I do remember it needs root access to use a wall.
Love the Overclocked "nonsense" CM7
Yes you need root and s-off and a customer kernel.
It seems, it is a longway.....but no worry! This forum is a great help on your side! Just use the search option for the word above and you will sucess.
Have fun

My firmware version is 1.82.161.1, and from ready instructions on rooting I would need to downgrade to 1.34 before I can root - do you think it is worth the trouble? i.e. will rooting the phone give me alot more flexibility?
So...to return to where I came in...does anyone know which settings I can change to stop the unwanted services from accessing my 3G connection every day?
The following is the list that I get from 3G Watchdog:
1. Phone
Dialer Storage
SIM toolkit
Field test
2. Network Location
com.android.qxdmlog
Settings
Settings Storage
Accounts & Sync
Setup
HTC Hub
Android System
HTC Function Test Program 1.04g
HTC checkin service
Brcm bluetooth services
Google backup transport
VPN services
Upgrade Setup
CLock
3. DCS service
Calendar storage
Customisation settings provider
Open Sense plugin manager
HTC location service
com.htc.dcs.service.stock
Stocks
HTC weather sync provider
Friend Stream
com.htc.provider.settings
Weather provider
Peep
Customisation setup
DCS utility component
Weather agent service
HTC media uploader
Connect to PC
Facebook to HTC sense
Flickr
To confirm, I already have Background Data disabled on the Accounts & Sync page, and have also disabled data connections using APNDroid. Neither of these measures is stopping the above services from using my 3G connection.

i think your app is mistaken. when data is disabled, and sync is OFF, there should be nothing like this happening. they may -try- and the app report it, but there should be no data what so ever.
try accessing a webpage, or refreshing the content of any of those applications. i think you will find they cannot.
update us ?

1- Root will not affect play store app in any manner.
2- Not sure what did you mean by 'home WiFi and phone WiFi'???
3- Anyway, try the following:
a) Make sure the internet connection is good. You can use any web browser to check.
b) If the Wifi is not successful, try to use data connection (G/E/3G/H/H+...)
c) Make sure the Google account is valid (user name/password)
d) Try to reboot the device.
