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.
Hello,
since I updated to official mobile 6.5 my device is often itself online via GPRS/UMTS.
RSS, location, weather, mail is configured for manual connection.
connections "allways on" is deactivated.
I installed SPB wireless monitor to see the application that has the connection.
The applications called "Touch FLO" and is about 3MB (up/downlad) in a few minutes.
What is the problem? How can I diable this.
Thank you
regards
Andre
Hello All,
I'm developing a C++ application for the android that needs to talk
with a server whenever there is an internet connection available. If
the internet connection is cut-off the application needs to "sleep" in
order to reduce the battery consumption. If the internet connection is
back the application should "awake".
I'm searching for any kind of event notification available for C++. I
don't want to use pooling.
I know that in java we receive these notifications from the
connectivity service.Can we trap them natively?
Thanks,
Carlos B.
Hi all you techie genius out there,
Is there a plugin for weather and push box suggested it to connect only when wifi is available ?
Or a wifi plugin in which we can add application as per connection preferences ?.
Ex- restrict an app using data connection and connects only wifi is availalble and also as per specified time (peak hour).
Any help is very much appreciated.
Hi All,
I was wondering if anyone had heard of an app which does the following or would perhaps like a good idea for an app if it doesn't exist (i have looked everywhere):
- Automatically scans for open WiFi networks
- Tries to connect to open networks
- if connection successful + ping google.com successful (to see if internet available) ELSE add to list of networks not to try again
- THEN once connected run auto-sync to download emails etc
- also have the option to run other applications on connect which require sync like news RSS, facebook feeds etc.
- after sync switch off or sleep WiFi for x minutes
I would find this immensely useful when I am on holiday in other countries. Basically its a massive pain keep getting my phone out to scan for available networks (even with notification) and try each of them then sync everything after. With the app described above you could just leave you phone in pocket and let the app do all the work.
Does this make sense?
Thanks in advance
Bridgstfer.
Get a data plan and stop robbing peoples connections or wifi hotspots or you can just do it all manually. It's not that bloody hard really.
I think you might have missed the point:
...immensely useful when on HOLIDAY (ie no data) in other countries....you could just leave you phone in pocket and let the app do all the work (ie connecting to free wifi hotspots and syncing when available)
