Keep track of data transfer (GPRS)

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

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.

Twitter App

Anyone have an recommendation for a good Twitter app? I was a fan of Seesmic for Android but found nothing I like yet for WinMo. Also, does anyone know how to put the icon for Twitter on the Homescreen? (not in the bottom bar) I am running Kumar Premium. Thanks.

Get MoTweets.

MOTWEETS
MoTweets is the best twitter app I have used..handsdown. I think it is a lot better than Peep as well.

Just installed motweets and i do like it, though i can't seem to get list option to work, any ideas? I have created 3 lists on my twitter account on feeds im following though when i go to lists in motweets and click refresh they don't appear.

For some reason now after installing v1.7 it decided to work

Curious??? What's wrong with Peep that comes on the HD2? Works great for me, but if this Motweet action is way better, I'll give it a shot.

Peep is pretty kick-ass but it lacks a few of the options that MoTweets has. download motweets and give it a go. Its pretty nice. I am actually using both at the moment.

After upgrading to the new ROM for my HD2 and reinstalling Motweet.exe from my PC it now shows all of the timeline stamps as "1 minute ago". No matter how many times I refresh. I bought the full version or whatever.
Any ideas? Or is this an issue on Twitter's end? Hrmmmm.

Figured this out. When I loaded up the new ROM, I noticed that it had my time incorrect. I manually set it. Just noticed that my date was also incorrect. It was a day behind. Once I fixed the date, the timeline started working again...
My question. Is there a place to choose whether it automatically pulls the time and date that might be unchecked for me or something? I've been digging but haven't found anything.

You can try this, but I don't know how well it works (never used it myself):
On your settings tab, pick "data services", and there will be an "internet time sync" button, where you can then choose for it to "get time from the internet"
Other than that, I've never seen any settings to get the time automatically

About Motweets, how do you get it to run during startup + minimized? I'm just looking for an app that does that, so if Motweets can't do that, can someone direct me to another that does?
CHeers mate

I am actually on the opposite of that opinion scale. I think swype does a great job at typing/predicting what I wanted.

What about the hardware locked 3 button issue
Did they fix the hardware locked 3 button issue in this official OTA?

Did they fix the isues with the stock music player? (problems with large music databases, no .m3u support)

I heard that if you are rooted you can still get OTA updates because you don't change the firmware. Is this true? Because I would like an OTA update to fix my GPS. and i'm simply rooted for wifi tethering.

I noticed everything in the first post plus.
1. Photo Viewer/Gallery shows newest photos first. The way it should have been!

GPS does appear to be fixed. Using GPS Test from the Market I was NEVER able to get more than 2 satellites in use (even though it would see 10 to 12). Right after I updated, I went outside and within 10 seconds GPS Test said it was using 9 out of 10!!!!
Used MyTracks to track me and walked around the campus...it wasn't a perfect track but it was WAY better than before. This was just a short test, but based on what GPS Test is telling me I have to think that it is indeed fixed.

That was my experience. I was rooted via the OCLF app without the lag fix installed. The update installed fine and when it was all done I was still root.

Facebook>?

Has anyone been able to find a way to make Facebook update properly on the HD2 these days?
I cannot see any of my recent wall posts, photos etc.
Thanks.

I've also been having this same problem. I had to log out and re-log back in to refresh the updates. I don't know why it's been doing this.

log out log in again every time you want it to update or you can use the client build into the browser. Been fudged up for a few weeks now

Logging in and out does not seem to work for me oddly enough.
Seems like such a simple program.
I know they are working on new security, interfaces, certificates and the like, but...really...this is as rudimentary a facebook experience as one can get and I find it very strange that it has not been addressed with an update in the marketplace.
Glad to see that some others here have had their troubles start with this around the same time I did.
No, not happy for your woes...just nice to know I am not alone!

Install the version NOT from the Marketplace or the one that came preinstalled on the HD2. Its the same version according to about, but for some reason, this version for me has been working fine for around a week where as the others won't update and haven
t updated for me for almost a month.

I appreciate the heads-up, but where is this version "not from the marketplace" to be found?

You can get it directly from Facebook, or from Windowsmobile.com.

can you post the facebook cab you are using?

Yeah why not? Get it while its hot!

this is an older version of the app.. the current version is 1.1.0.17

Well that is the latest version that I could find. Its the same as the one here..but the functionality is basically the same despite the version number.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/facebook.mspx

the version off of the market place is 1.1.0.17 the one on the phone was older than that by a long shot as it was 1.0.0.0.7 or something like that

Which is very true, but they both offer the same features and functionality so the version differenece seems prettty trivial to me.

while the features are similar the PQ is loads better on the new app....no more low res crap pix.......

does installing this version fix the refreshing issue or no??

Nothing seems to fix it. The ONLY way I can get on Facebook on my HD2 now, is to use XDA-Facebook...which is a better application anyway in my opinion. I think the problem is with Facebook itself, not the app but I cannot confirm this.

From what I've read it's a Microsoft issue. FB changed some **** and Microsoft has yet to develop an update to make their facebook app work with facebook. I guess FB let Android, Iphone, etc know the changes were coming and Microsoft just doesn't care about our Winmo 6.5 software enough to work on it. There are some threads on the internet about this where people are wigging the hell out over it. Saying they will never buy another winmo phone because of it. It's kinda funny.
The FB app on my phone hasn't worked for over a month. Do I care? Not that much. The FB app on my iphone 2G works just fine.

Ditto. The Facebook app has never worked for me. As soon as I enter my user information the app will update my news feed, photos, and status ONCE. Ever since, I have found that the mobile version of FB is excellent for what I need. I it doubt that the app will ever be updated.

Official OREO has rolled out

Just got official AT&T OREO update. Little over 1.4gb build CRC2

I received an OTA as well. 1407.35MBs. Still downloading!

Mine still says software up to date. I hate att.

Use BK Disabler and clear the data for Software Update. You should be able to check again. I believe you can only check once every 24 hours or so. Good Luck.

I just used Odin to go back to nougat and as soon as I could get to my settings I was able to get the OTA.

Easiest way to keep checking is to advance your phone's clock ahead one day then try again. Just remember to turn the auto clock detection setting back on.

set your date for tomorrow (28th) and it should work. that's what I had to do

What do I need to do to get the official update if I installed the zip?

I've installed att firmware on my unlocked phone and i still haven't got any updates. it still says software is up to date. i even tried changing the date.

Mine did that as well for months. My last update was when I bought the phone back in Nov. I did the update.zip method and used Smart Switch to backup all to MicroSD card.

Received this update today without needing to change the date. Running nicely so far, just wish the gif keyboard wasn't removed for us.

I have it on mine as you can see in this screenshot. When I heard the update was coming today, I factory reset before I took it. When it booted up, it updated during the setup process.
Edit: wait, are we talking about the same thing? Do you mean the feature where you can draw a gif message?

Not the live message, I have that. There is a gif option on the keyboard from other carriers. For some reason AT&T left it out.

In developers options there is the ability to change Bluetooth Audio Codec to SBC (default) to Aptx, Ldac, etc. If you change that it doesnt stick and it resets itself to SBC. Bummer.
Also the only option that does seem to seem concerning Bluetooth and Developers Options is Bluetooth AVRCP Version. AVRCP 1.4 is default but changing to AVRCP 1.6 seems to stick.

Meant to post this last night. Here's screenshots of my for full use of the OTA Oreo. I'm a teacher on spring break so I messed around with it a lot yesterday getting all my settings and apps set up.

So I decided to try the Samsung Experience 9. The badge number for Gmail isn't showing the proper numbers. Anything beyond one unread email shows some stupid huge numbers, such as 4 unread email, but the badge showed 169 ... LOL So, this is still buggy.

Don't know what's worse... badges with wrong numbers or badges that don't come on at all. I get none at all. And I even factory reset before I took the update. I got no clue, even after spending tons of time digging through settings
