Hi,
My phone data from atnt works when I surf the web but not for anything else. I feel I may have inactivated such usage when first starting the device. Could someone help me so as to how I can use the data for my apps as well?
Thanks.

Hi all,
need some help here... My TyTN is transmitting large blocks of data randomly - but typically when I stop the wireless data connection.
I am on Rogers, and I am now using WM 6 (Dopod release WWE).
any thoughts, resolutions?
I have no idea what is being sent, or to where...
using GPRS monitor, so i know how much but not to whom or where.
I've been careful to stip all internet using apps, tried soft reset...
Any suggestions? Thoughts?
You using any weather software (including in HTC home) because they update heaps. You need to go into the settings and pick MANUAL UPDATE or it continually gets data through your 3g connection...
BAD if you have a crappy EXPENSIVE data plan.
Cheers...
Check out a program called NoData. Give it a google search. It basically blocks anything that isn't sms, mms or voice calls. Great if you are paranoid about data.
Hi,
I've been using the HD2 for a couple of months now. Love the phone, esp after installing some of the cool tweaks from this forum.
i've also been reading about the tweak to stop data access, particularly when overseas, so as not to incur high data roaming charges. I tried to install one such cab but it slowed down the phone a lot and I finally uninstalled it.
My questions is this :
1. If I just wanted to use the phone to make calls and send sms (using 3G network) while I'm overseas, if I disable the auto update features in Weather, Stocks and Twitter, will the phone still access data automatically when data services is detected while I'm overseas ? What else should I disable or set to use the phone just for calls and texting ? I suppose i should not read MMS while overseas as well since it will incur internet charges.
2. What about disabling internet access ? how can i do that ?
3. I understand that if I see the 'H' sign at the top of the phone where the '3G' sign is, it does not mean that there is data access (it just mean that HSPA is avail). there is data access only when there is double arrow sign. is this understanding correct ?
Sorry for asking so many fundamental questions.
thanks

Hey guys! Just got my vibrant today, it is a beautiful phone. Going to root it and remove all the bloatware in a second here
Quick question for you guys-my current plan with T-Mobile does not include data. In the few hours I've owned the Vibrant, it has already sucked down several MBs of data...what is the best way to disable the data connection altogether? I only want to use data over wifi, nothing else.
Some googling revealed the app 'APNdroid'-is this still the best way to disable data, or is there a more current solution for the Vibrant?
Thanks!
That's odd. What plan are you on that allows you to access data without having a data plan?
To access data, I assume you'd need T-Zones at the very least (unless there's something even older that I'm forgetting). In which case, you will be nagged to upgrade to the 'Android Data Plan' after about 6-12 hours.
So confused.
I have a grandfathered myfaves plan. I definitely don't have data, was pretty confused when my phone started using data on the drive home. It completed a Google search for me and the 3g icon popped up in the notification bar. Hmmm....
Well if it helps any, I know for Bell Canada at least, even if you don't have a plan with a data addition, you can still access data (except at a really ludicrous rate).
(Or actually, this might be the case only because bell always put's it's browsers and junk on phones, even its feature phones)
Call T-Mobile and ask for a data block.
Hello,
Its driving me nuts and I can't find the answer anywhere.
I bought an Ideos X5 and I have been trying every ROM i can get my hands on.
In all of em I find the same issue that I cannot resolve.
The phone is downloading and uploading stuff ALL the time. I do mean all the time.
If Data is enabled then the 3G, or H is up there in the staus connecting all the time.
Recently I tried MIUI and it comes with a firewall which I used to block every app i have but with no result. its still there.
I thought it could be because of the GPS being aided but I disabled that too.
Any idea? My data plan is being consumed by god knows what and its happening in every ROM available.

The fact that the icon is present at the top doesn't mean that it's doing traffic. That is just like the wifi icon, to let you know that you have 3G/HSDPA connection established. If you don't have any applications like sync, email, mms, browsing, games that go online etc, than your data consumption should be something like 100kbytes/day. I've got a 500 mb plan and with emails on and applications downloaded I never go over 70-80mb the whole month... So, I believe that whatever application you've installed on the phone, that is consuming your data plan.
BTW, this is a smartphone, which was designed to stay online...so you may have to look into upgrading the data plan.
Try droidwall at market. It can block selective app connect internet.

oh.... I thought that the fact that it was there it meant that it was connecting.
that clears it up then! i installed 3g whatchdog in the meanwhile though just to be safe!
edit, but wait a second, my friends at work have androids and its not always up there. the symbol I mean.
Hows it going everyone? Im back on the stock rom on my Nexus 4. Im running into a problem with my cellular data and wonder if anyone has any recommendation on how to fix it.
The problem is certain apps will not work with cellular data. I can browse the internet, use streaming music services like Pandora and Play Music, and check bank account balances. But when I try to use other apps they cant detect a data connection. The apps affected (that I can think of right now) are Hulu, Netflix and a app that lets me pay my gas and electric bill (My PG&E). Ive run into the problem before with other apps, I just cant remember which ones. Im on AT&T and wonder if maybe I have my settings wrong. I never changed anything because I was under the impression that when I put my simcard in it would know which settings to use for AT&T.
Can anyone tell me why this might be happening and perhaps how to fix it? I would really appreciate any info that could be provided.
Thanks in advance.
