App to monitor data usage ?

Can anybody recommend an app to monitor my data connection ?
Similar to SPB Wireless on WM.
Any help really appreciated.

3G Watchdog.

I got a widget off the market called data counter, simple front end that sits on my home screen with lots of stats and options in the background, works good for me

NetCounter is also a good one, free on the market.

I use NetTraffic.

It seems some users said it does not work on HTC Desire.

Doesn't work for Wifi on mine, and the cell counter is WELL out as well. I've been downloading quite a bit via 3G over the last week, and it reckons I've only downloaded 1.24MB...

+1 for 3G watchdog - does what it says on the tin. Very pleased with it...

I just tried the "3G Watchdog", but I cannot see any option to "disable" it.
Once I activated by setting it, I saw the icon ets ... but I cannot de-activate / disable / turn it OFF.

Only way I know of to do it is to close it under running services and then open the app again next time you are going to use mobile data.
I just keep it on as I keep my phone on mobile data unless I need to browse the web at home as the wifi is crap for notifications, they hardly seem to work when the screens locked on wifi.

3G watchdog is great!

[SOLVED][Help] Download from market doesn't work...

Hi,
I'm using the PPC-SHIFTPDA Gingerbread Build. At the beginning everything was alright but now I can't download apps from the market. It just says "Download is starting" .
Can anyone help me?

Solution: I hadn't enough space on the phone storage. Just move apps to the SD card.

Try this... go into Settings > Applications > Manage Applications and find 'Market'... clear the cache and data.
Toggle airplane mode on and off... then try downloading again.

Okay, I did as you said but it is still not downloading. Thanks for your help.
Got another idea?
Sent from my HTC HD2

This is a bit of a long shot...
Are you using wifi or 3G to download? If possible, try the other and see if you have the same issue.
For example, I cannot download from Market using the wifi network at my work (I too get the 'downloading' issue), however I can install apps just fine using 3G. My home wifi is always ok.
Very rarely I have had the same problem as you and it resolves itself after a while. It is as if there is a problem at Google's server end.
Another issue that I sometimes have when I install a fresh build is that i have to try and download using 3G before I am able to download using wifi.

I'm using wifi. It would be a bit too expensive for me if I use 3G. I'm just a poor student, getting not much pocket money .
I had three other builds before tested and that's the second time this happens. I solved it last time changing the build. But. I don't want to change the build.
P.S.: The whole time Google Talk wants to log in but it can't, 'cause I don't have a Talk account.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

OK, you could try this...
Can you try another wifi network? If not...
Backup your build and then hard reset the device from Android. Then try logging in to your Google account again and see if you can download from Market. I'm not sure what the cause of your problem is.
You can deactivate the Google Talk login problem by going to Accounts > Sync > Google > deselect the deisired sync options.

Okay did 2 hard resets but nothing changed. That's really weird...

Edit: I can't connect to other wifi

Sorry, I am lost now for a good suggestion. Whenever I have had a similar issue, one of the above has always worked for me.

Okay...
But thanks a lot for your help!!!!!!!

I'm running evil D virtuous unity Rom.. and I had posted this question in the unity thread but no response.. I was wondering as to why sync just stays on even with background and auto sync off its killing my battery hardcore if anyone has a solution I will greatly appreciate the help thankyou

dude...same problem..!...kind of..!
i have a mytouch 4G...i got it like two day ago....i dont have a data plan (please dont ask me how i got it w/o a data plan..and if you are going to anyways..the answer is my uncle somehow got them...tmobile likes us cuz we have been with them for like ever)....i have mobile network unchecked, i have enable always-on mobile data unchecked, i have background data unchecked, but still the up down arrows with the E show up at the top right corner with the time. it shows up and then disappears and then shows up and disappears...but it is constantly doing that...i need to know why it is doing that.. and how i can turn it off...
my uncle has a galaxy S and his has everything unchecked also but the 3g with updown arrows are always there...

Easiest fix is to check "manually sync data" when you initially setup the ROM

Have you looked into the APNdroid app?

If it was actually synching, there would be a circle with arrows spinning in the status bar.

I've seen it to with sync off, something is still syncing but I'm not sure what, might need a logcat to check it. I've seen it happen on other roms w/ data off.

Blinkfeed - weather widget issue

Hi all,
Loving the phone and for all who are still waiting for it due to shortages, keep at it, you won't regret it....
loving the phone and happy to use Blinkfeed for news stories (fb and twitter not so good on it)... But I can't figure out for the life of me figure out how to get it to pull data for my home location. I have set up London as my home and refuse to leave location services on all the time (battery drain and all that).... So why is it so hard to get Blinkfeed to tell me the weather in my home location? Should be a no brained but it's bugging me no end and I refuse to give in any activate gps all day long when I seldom use it... Please help

This happened to me as well.. It wouldn't say London but it still wouldn't show the weather icon next to the clock above Blinkfeed. What worked for me was, I had to turn on mobile data, turn on GPS and then go back into weather and it should get your current location.

Thanks for the reply. I tried that and still nothing... This is so annoying man. It may be some other hidden setting in my phone, I don't know... All I know is that the thing should allow you to choose your weather location instead of muck around with gps and all that!

Hi.
I work in London and live in Bromley and I've seen no problems with the widget reflecting my 'current' location.
The only thing I remember doing is removing all other hard coded locations in the widget except my current location. I've also got all location services switched on (Not GPS) because I like the features available with this.
Only had the phone two days so hard to assess the potential drain on battery with location services, but based on an overnight charge and having used the phone on the train to browse, read email etc I'm currently at %79 charge after 7.5 hours..... certainly better than my S2.

tbh the effect of leaving GPS on all day is probably negligible - ive never turned it off on any phone ive had that had the feature :s

The crazy thing is that I can separately grab the clock and weather widget which is identical to the Blinkfeed header and it asks my location and I complete it and done... That works fine!... I just can't tell the same thing to the Blinkfeed widget! Crazy!

Anyone else had any problems with the weather section at the top if Blinkfeed? I am still suffering with this issue.

Yup got the same issue. Just says my location, not the city I'm in. Tried with all location service on and GPS, wifi etc. When I refresh it says "unable to connect to location service". Could be software issue?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD

Glad u am not alone on this problem. Have tried loads of things, but still no weather for my city and it says data not available....
Maybe there are others out rather, but I think there must be a setting otherwise everyone would have suffered this issue.
Any new help or suggestions out there would be appreciated.
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk 2

Have you guys tried enabling/disabling mock locations in the development section on the settings?
Also if my guess is right based on "unable to connect to location service" it could be that your internet provider is block the port used by the weather widget. Have you guys tried using WIFI instead?

You have to have location services switched on. You dont need GPS switched on but you do need location services switched on.
Have you checked the sync settings for HTC Weather? I have mine set to auto update every few hours, you might need that on too.

I had this issue and everything was switched on. All you need to do to fix the issue is go into the clock app and select you location. Worked for me. Took 30 Seconds to update.

When you say your location, you mean home location? My home location is set but still no luck. Every time I go in to the clock app, it default to the time zone, which is London, Dublin.

Yep, I tried it all, with wifi and mobile data also. I also tried the location setup on the clock.... Still no fix.
Remember, I added the separate HTC clock and weather widget on another desktop screen.. That worked fine with my location. The clock and weather at the top of Blinkfeed are identical, just the weather still shows no data

I havn't got my phone with me at the minute to check. But it was in the clock app. I think I also deleted all the time zones and reset my location. My clock widget was also fine when the blinkfeed app wasn't. I will be able to check at lunch.

I rebooted mines into recovery then wipe cache and restarted then my location changed to where I live

I'm using a Honor 7 (PLK-L01) so not sure if its the same for you guys. I had to set a data limit in the traffic reminder settings and after that the option to enable/disable "Display network speed" appeared.

Guyz first of all u need to set Monthly Data Limit. Only after that the desired option will appear. Cheers

I did set the Monthy Data Limit, but the Display network speed option didn't appear. B575.

from that screen (as in the picture), go back one step ...
Go to Traffic Reminder Settings (now you must be very quick, as it will appear only for few milliseconds.), it will appear right above "lock screen data reminder".
