Quick question guys. My friends has a G1 and has told me that you can only save 15 bookmarks for youtube. after that any new bookmarks will delete an older one. Is there a way around that. I don't have the device myself, I opted to order the touch pro instead. My friend would appreciate any advice, or alt methods you can advise.
cheers
btw not sure if it makes a diff but its a G1 from T-mobile UK
come on 22 views and no input...
15? My g1 wont keep any everytime i dont go into youtube for a few days then i go on youtube my favorites are gone!!!
me too, i had saved 2 favorites a while ago and they both disappeared, so now i don't bother saving favorites. this is for both the youtube app and the browser...
i just save them on my pc and use the web
for certain people new to "smart" phone you tube is a major selling point. Quite a silly thing to have an issue about...anyway I advised my friend to just use vtap which If I remember worked fine in regards to bookmarks on my PPC
Just curious.
Many "unlimited" data plans still have some type of monthly cap (e.g. 5GB) that many people are not aware of, and if you go over that cap, they can terminate your data plan without notice. Has this happened to anybody?
Here are some baseline data usage traffic that I've measured:
-refreshing CNN rss hub containing 10 headlines: 8KB
-updating 8 cities in touchflo weather: 17KB
-launching opera to google homepage: 20KB
-activate send/receive for one new email: 26KB
-launching factory youtube player: 240KB
-opening youtube homepage via opera: 324KB
-using opera to get to yahoo mail inbox: 360KB
-launching google maps and playing around for about 2 minutes (panned around, opened street view, opened satellite view, got directions once): total ~1024KB = ~1MB
-playing a 5 minute video using factory youtube player: 20767KB = ~20.3MB
So, data usage can really add up if you use it everyday. Using about 170MB a day adds up to 5GB in a month. How much data are you guys using per day or month?
i have a 200MB plan and the last to month i used about 20-30mb each ^^ didnt happen to use it much
imo its almost impossible to get 5gb ^^ i hardly get hsdpa (not even 3G) so its kinda crap with my phone.. 200mb is overkill for me uses a lot of battery as well
only just got mine but have "unlimited" usage on my vodafone uk tariff....nice little small print in the "fair use policy" show unlimited to them actually means 500MB a month.....I hope I don't breach it.
Anyone recommend a nice little Data monitor to make sure?
definitely spd wireless monitor. costs a small bit but its awesome..
i usually average 50-100 mb a month on my kaiser ising manilla weather at least once a day, little bits and bobs of browsing, push e-mail with 2-3 emails a day, the ocasional small file download off the net, occasional you tube use...
but my fisrt month with touch hd i used 250mb, i think i did a lot more browsing, downloading and you tubeing. not had my second bill yet
on N!ghty's recommendation I grabbed a copy of SPB Wireless Monitor......very good little app. Not going to make use of the today screen plugin due to Touch HD's theme...but still..check it every now and then and it's doing the job.
NOTE: anyone else hate SPB's icon set...bunch of balls (atoms?) stuck together...just...shocking!
I had used spb for data monitoring a while ago but had switched to Efficasoft GPRS Traffic Monitor. I install it on my SD card so that after each hard reset I don't lost the month to date data. No reinstallation either after each hard reset. Just make copy the shortcut for spgm.exe to the startup folder and spgtc.exe to the Start Menu and I'm done.
I have flat rate data plan, fine print says it's 10 gb per month. To be honest, haven't breached a 1 gb yet Although I expect to be around 3-4 gb once I start traveling around again these days...
My plan is only 250 mb in a month.
It is very easy to reach.
I used spb wireless monitor to get those numbers above...I recommend it for those who don't have unlimited data because it also lets you set an alarm after a certain amount of usage to help prevent going over.
In case others like me didn't know this...leaving your data connection on all the time doesn't use up any data. However, obivously, it will use up data when it updates things you have set to automatically update (like email, weather, etc).
Is there any way to look it up on the touch hd software without installing a new app like efficasoft or spb wireless monitor?

No, Windows Mobile itself doesn't support it .
i get 500mb through Orange's "unlimited internet"
curious to see how my first month's bill comes out.
In my first 4 days i've been using it alot setting things up, fiddling around and sending myself .cab files and images etc when in the office (as didn't have the USB cable or blutooth)
I too have a vodafone "unlimited" package with a fair use policy of 500mb....I've used 45mb in the last month.
To give you and idea of my usages...I have my emails set to download via contract internet (HSDPA) every 5 minutes...I use the internet about 10-30mins a day on contract internet...so 40mb is pretty good.
I don't use it do grab torrents or anything like that obviously
On a 1Gb plan with Three. Normally use 500 - 800Mb each month, most going towards youtube entertainment on the bus.
If I go over my cap, I get billed and the rates are shocking O___o
I watch a couple of videos but mainly it's just browsing for me, I rarely go above 200-300MB.

I use SPB and use Sashimi to help load everything back after a flash.. One thing it will do is backup and then restore you 'My Documents' to the phone so I haven't lost the SPB data for a while.
I get through about 1-200mb a month on O2 uk. I also use the online billing to keep an eye on how much I go through. It's update daily so I never have any issues with using too much
Although I haven't measured the data usage or anything, I'm sure that if you're surfing through Google's mobile proxy
http://www.google.co.uk/gwt/n (for the UK; make appropriate adjustments for your country)
your data usage will be less than if you were viewing web sites directly, as the proxy strips down a web site to its bare essentials... Of course, this means you won't get the full browsing experience, but it's good for web sites where you're mostly interested in the text content.
On the other extreme, a browser like Skyfire (which attempts to replicate the PC browsing experience on your mobile device) is probably going to hit your bandwidth hard.
It would be interesting if someone did a comparison of data usage with these two methods.
I used to use Monilink a lot on my old Nokia. It is a Java app which you use to manage your bank account, it comes direct from your bank.
Anyone managed to use it under Android? I can't even get the wap push message to arrive when I register. I think it is arriving but the phone is ignoring it because when I put my sim in a different phone the message arrives every time!
doesn't work.
use the text message service from your bank.
There's a new version of the software coming out 1st weekend of December which will work with newer touchscreen phones, but still nothing for android or windows mobile yet.
the download link is just wap.monilink.co.uk/download.wml
i'd stick with the text alerts.

Wow, I didn't think anyone used MoniLink anymore! I was on the testing team for the bank when it was first launched, it never seemed to take off.
rhedgehog is right, looks like it will be coming out shotly, its just in testing, but this is not for Android / WM, they are not looking at this yet.
I used to find it quite good for quickly checking balances etc. Have to investigate the sms option to see if you can just send a text and they reply with balance etc. Perhaps before long the banks will make a version of internet banking with formatting for iphone/android etc as the full blown sites are rather clunky and slow when on the mobile.
Yes, you can. Each bank has a slightly different number, but in general you text BAL or MINI to that nuimber and it sends you back your balance or a mini statement.

Don't think you'll really ever get that from mainstream banks, especially the one I work out. It seems their attitute to mobile banking is that the industry changes too much and they can't afford resources to suit every mobile phone.
With computers, you have the main browsers like IE, FireFox, Safari, so they make it work for those, but others are a bonus. There are so many platforms and browsers for mobile, they just won't do it.
The bank I work for made me laugh when the iPhone came out and they advertised that their internet banking was made iPhone friendly like they made it like that, truth is, they just got lucky!
sad thing is, monilink are just releasing a version for the iphone. They are then updating for the other mainstream touchscreen phones (nokias and samsungs etc) in december...but nothing for us.
Sucks really.
Java
I would also like to get this running,
I am getting the message through with a link to download the app, I then paste this link into my java Midlet Manager, IE opens and and says it cant find the link, I f I was able to get this downloaded i dont see why it wouldnt run in the Midlet Manager ?
Any halp will be much appreciated.
Merry Christmas
I find using NatWest online banking on Hero quite ok. I used to use monilink on my windows mobile phones as the opera browser seemed incompatible. But all the browsers I tried on Android work without any problems.
We have many report for big data usage on wp7 also when i usage data connection my hd2 is too hot.. that make me sceptical..
for that reason i make this thread if is not the right place please mod move it to the right place
Microsoft say: the problem coming from 3rd party apps
Some other say the problem coming from many differnet update that use the wp7 system e.g.email update, contacts update/facebook and more
Some other report says the HTC hub is one of the reason... use so much data..
That you can do is: set all account manual about the sync
Just go to settings / account and tap every account and set it manual
Fot htc hub go to in to hub and settings , do the same..
HERE you can found what Microsoft say!
HERE the report of HTC hub!!!
PS. is simply blog but have some good news.. so take a look around for other news..
Edit
Thanks for report i fix a little bit the body of the message..
I don't know if this is true or not. I am not experiencing heave data absorption without my knowledge. I can check my data consumption on the Voda website and I have a 1Gb allowance each month. I've been using WP7 as soon it went semi-public and I'm still having about 780Mb out of 1Gb left. (last update was yesterday) It is not like I am not using the internet, but I do check on mobile websites as it just renders faster and it doesn't need the zoom too often. Multitouch zoom on HD2 is a bit of a problemchild.
I do had my concerns about the social networking integration as I thought it would pull everybody's picture gallery to my phone and would upload every picture that I have to Skydrive, but that doesn't seems to be the thing.
Overall, though the WP7 was not meant for the HD2, it's going to be here for always on my phone. sob...
do you always
write your posts
like this?
and of course
you always need to
post in wrong sections?
There is not useful information in your post. "We have many report for big data usage on wp7" Who are we? What is many? Disable Data connection if you don't like traffic. Connect on Wi-Fi, log all connections from your computer and take a look where the traffic goes and you'll know what app you need to delete.
Funnily enough I just happened to check my bill after reading this and I'm up to 750mb since the start of the month. Normally I'd average about 200mb at most.
I had the HTC hub installed which has been promptly removed so I'm gonna keep an eye on it now and see if that was the cause of the massive data jump.
Pretty old news and really annoying way of writing.
why
on
earth
do
you
write
like
this????
I did notice a single big jump in data downloading on initial setup, this was because of facebook i think, not the facebook app, didnt happen until i had set that up so my feeling is its downloading pictures and other info, if you have many many friends on FB this would be exponential. anyhow, i didnt notice this until i got a out of starage space message, because my SD card hadnt worked first time round. So, if that is indeed the case and not just a huge coincidance connect up your phone to your PC and install/setup facebook, then see what happens

You are right! we = (I some other chefs + some beta tester of our roms and some blogers)
Nice way...!!! Do you know any program that can count the traffic? Do you have count any program?
Another thing to add to the 'Reasons to avoid WM7 like the plague and stay on Android' list.
Share Wi-Fi from your computer/laptop, connect mobile through it, install any traffic counter or firewall on your PC (or use proxy that provides logs/reports), look where your traffic is going. I don't care about traffic on my mobile at the moment, so I am not going to check it myself, but that's pretty easy task.
Checked Mine
Although this may be in the wrong section, and been covered several times. I just now decided to check my usage.
T-Mobile USA
Data: 690.2357 / Unlimited Megabytes
Been using WP7 since it was released, HTC HUB was installed at first, uninstalled it last week.
As far as writing like this.

What is your average usage with wm6.5 or android?
+1 for your comment
maybe is in wrong section i did search before post it i did not found something + as you know when you typing the heading you can see if any other thread have the same heading
also i post it here because i want to find the problem and fix or tweak the problem together.. we do not have the kitchen but we have the registry editor maybe that can help us..
I got a text from tmobile today stating I was being capped on my data speed for the remainder of the billing cycle this month because of too much data usage ....

but finally this thread help from problems little late but better late than never
Simple solution. Get unlimited internet without fair usage nonsense As I usually go over 1 GB with my HD2 regardless of the OS that's what I did. You pay a little more but don't have to worry that a facebook photo may cost you 1 Euro
Gents,
Keep the posts on topic and watch the flaming please, thanks.

Well I noticed Mine was hogging data at 5 in the morning well I was still sleeping. I did a comparison and in 2 days My win 7 HD2 used 125 Mb data and my HD2 with win 6.5 used 60 Mb. I used them pretty much equally.
Old news to me.
Hi All,
Apologies for this mundane question but I've been trying for 2 days to download my official 6810 firmawre (P6810ZSLA1_CSC_TGY.exe) so kindly posted by xenix96. It's on FileFactory. Am I the only person here who hasn't got a premium membership to FileFactory? I'm loathe to pay for it as I've never needed it before and will probably only use it the once - so I'll effectively be paying $12 to download the firmware. But in 2 days of trying I've not managed to get a free download "slot".
If you're all using premium then I'll shut-up and stop being so tight and purchase it also. Just wanted to see what everyone else is doing first.
Thx
i have had the same problems as you. For some reason i cant download some files but trying a different file works just fine, its strange.
Took me a few tries as well. Had to try different ISP's, 3G, wifi, mobile broadband, the works.
But hey it's free, so we really can't complain too much.
Though looking for a better file host might be a good idea, if one can be found with all the recent shutdowns.

True if it wont work you can go there and download it
70% of the sammobile.com P6800 Firmwares are added by me
For example i upload actually the Romania Frimware:
P6800XXLA4_CSC_ROM.exe - Last Modified by Samsung: 07.01.2012 <-- In Progess
......in 50 minutes it is on server and you guys can download it from filefactory
but not on sammobile.com maybe tomorrow
You ask now why ?
Cause it is depending when i will add it on check fus server Check Fus webversion 2.0
If i dont add it on Check Fus webversion 2.0 then sammobile.com will not release so fast as i do it.
But i do that to provide more mirrors for the P6800&P6810 Firmwares for all users over the world.
Actually over 600 users downloaded the firmwares since i start this .....and yes Filefactory got at the moment alot maintanance and upgrades.
And if you didnt read my Post Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 GT-P6800 & GT-P6810 ProductCode & HIDSWVER list
...this goes only like this cause some users help me to provide the Firmware stuff for you !! Thanks this this useres by me
Just read following:
FileFactory Support (Support)
What's happening at FileFactory? New update on current problems and future improvements!
Over the past few weeks we have worked tirelessly to resolve upload and download issues. Our engineers have been working 16-18 hour days 7 days a week to resolve all problems. We're glad to say that now we are starting to see results in the form of better operations across the whole site.
We also have many more exciting updates and changes to come so stay tuned, based on user feedback, so we are looking forward to a great 2012.
Here's an update of what's going on:
WEB UPLOADS
Uploads via the web are now much more reliable - our internal testing of hundreds of files last night produced absolutely no errors from small and large files - in total we had 55,000 successful uploads in the past 24 hours
FTP UPLOADS
We recently added ftp2.filefactory.com and are working on making the ftp process faster - FTP problems are normally the result of people uploading huge directories of thousands of (usually small) files without consideration for anyone else - we are working on a way to prevent this from slowing everyone else down. Hint: unless there is a particular reason you need to mirror entire directories, .zip folders instead before uploading
We are also planning on adding more ftp servers in the very near future
REMOTE UPLOADS
We are adding 3 x new remote upload servers this weekend. Again, delays are usually caused by some customers adding hundreds of files at a time which creates bottlenecks and puts everyone else's files in a queue.
ADDITIONAL STORAGE
Our new storage device should come online this weekend
We have 3 x new storage devices arriving next week, which will increase our entire storage capacity by 50%
NEW TORRENT UPLOADER
We are finally rewriting the torrent uploader, starting again from scratch, which will allow for faster downloads of torrents, and you will also be able to choose particular files from torrents instead of having to download the whole torrent. Also most problems are caused by people adding dozens of huge torrents at once so we are working on a way to manage this better as well
NEW TURBO UPLOADER
We are also about to begin rewriting the Turbo uploader - we are going to make this multi-platform so it will run on Windows, Macs and Linux
NEW FILEFACTORY SITE
We are currently revamping the entire FileFactory site, cleaning up page layouts, adding some cool new features and moving our images to a Content Distribution Network to allow faster page load times
NEW FILE MANAGER
Over the next few weeks we are rewriting the file manager - proposed new features include enabling individual files and folders to be password protected, trafficshare enabled, as well as a bunch of great new features. Accounts which have a large number of files will also load much better.
TRANSLATIONS
Over the next few months we are translating FileFactory into many other languages in order to better serve our international customers

Many others like Football offer Firmwares over Filefactory like here [ROMs]HTC Android ROMs over years!
And hes "Thanks Meter" is at 1485 ....so this says for me hes doing well
And its free to download and yes it free from where you download
So feel FREE
Have a nice day ^^
