Google should log the average amount of data an app can use and write it on the market...

for a few days every few hours even though i had it set to 30 minutes it didnt work right. now its been updating every half hour and still the same crazy data. i mean its only a few lines of text for each article. i only have 10 newest showing. it doesnt make any sense. something has to be going on in the background that i dont know of.

hory chit
the battery life was probably terrible if it used this much :/

That's crazy! Have you mailed the developers? It must be images or something, text couldn't add up to that. Maybe leave it connected to your wifi and run wireshark or something (if you've got an adapter that will run promiscuous mode properly) - maybe you can see what it's doing...

This must be a bug, the app developers wouldn't want everyone with their app using this much data from their servers every week!

Images? Forget about images, this has to be downloading high quality videos to get to 9GB.

I have some serious security concerns about what this app is doing. You should try to sniff the data and see how much its sending versus receiving. I'd be curious to know what IP addresses it is communicating with. Did you install it directly from the market?

Maybe it is a bug in ICS's data use report? Try to contact your carrier to check if you have really used 9GB in the last month.

You should contact the developer, he is very responsive and provide good support.

Hi,
I am the dev of this app.
1. when you have such trouble, please contact me by email (hopefully somebody did).
2. check if it load images and images sizes. It doesn't load 'thumbnails' from the websites, but full images if thumbnails are not available ... so, if the website use big images of 2Mb ... it can goes quickly.
3. disable widget cache if it was enable
4. here is my widget with 3h refresh period and 8 feeds :
http://pureapps.planethoster.org/images/presentation/pne_data.png
5. if you use the internal viewer, all browsing you does in the viewer is counted ... video streaming, downloads...
@deekjx : For comments about 'security concerns', dump the UDP/TCP trafic if you want, there is nothing hidden. But, please, be careful before publishing such comments. Now, if the app doesn't come from the market, you can be right... few users reported Pure calendar hacked bersions containing viruses because they got it from a 'forum'.
Please, email me logcats just after a manual refresh to check what is wrong.

Same for me too
Switched to manual update worked fine. contacted dev through market

Who wants to try and get the S-Voice apk working?

The S-Voice apk was just posted in the S3 area http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26293573&posted=1#post26293573
I've installed it on my GNEX and it installed fine, made it through the tutorial as well, but it crashed when I tried to change the wake up phrase. Anyone care to give it a shot at making it work? I was going to start with something simple like editing build.prop but I can't seem to find any info on what the S3 is listed as.
It's now working perfectly!! Nex7er in the Note forum discovered if you install the app from system/app it works perfectly and I can confirm it runs perfect on the nexus!!!

I installed on latest CM9 nightly, no issues here. I installed it normally without being in system folder.
Edit:
Seems too clunky and pointless/useless. I can do all those commands by tapping the screen manually and I'll know they are correct rather than relying on a sketchy voice to text algorithm.

To each his own I guess. As a guy with only one arm I can state for me, it is MUCH easier and faster to say "new dental appointment, June 5th at 9am and then confirm with yes then it is to:
open apps, select calendar, click the month view tab, flip to June, click on the 5th, select "new" on the 9am tab and then type out dental, etc...

Running bamf/jamesbond and get a force close on it
Cleared data on it and reloaded... Skipped trying to set a new wakeup and it will go through to asking me "which app do you want to open "
Unfortunately no matter what I say she comes back with that same line.
Of course, restarted again and didn't bother to wake her up... And now commands work.

Tried and seems to work pretty good

Tried setting an alarm but couldn't save for some reason.

Same here can't save alarms...

Probably it's searching for SGS3 alarm app

Can confirm that adding appointments and checking weather work though.
Timer will work as far as countdown, but doesn't seem to hook into any vibrate/ring function to notify you when it finishes.

It took me a few tries, and I only got it to install by skipping the setup part of it. The apk claimed I already had s voice installed. And, when I went to remove it, because it crashed despite installing it from system/app, it only gave me the option to remove updates. I'm running stock ROM and kernel. Unfortunately, I don't see how to get to settings for it, so I'm stuck calling it "Hi Galaxy!"

Here is a copy of the APK if anyone wants it

Been using it for quite some time, actually. It's been called into Axiom roms for awhile now.

If the alarm worked - it'd be fastest to set alarm that way.
Also, the timer would be nice if it actually did something when the countdown finished.
Little things like that I could see it handy for... plus for answers you'd look up on google, could be quicker to answer at times.

Installed it like any other apk. I am stock and not rooted. And it has worked tip top since the start

After some digging I found that with the Galaxy Nexus at 4.0.4 is having issues because its based off of 4.0.3 Workaround is to install the app under system/apps instead of regular installer. I used root explorer and had R/W enabled placed the file and opened/installed from their.

Since Roam Control seems to be defunct should we offer a bounty

It seems roam control is defunct (based on lack of basic response and updates), but I see no reason reason another developer could not step in and offer a viable replacement. Should we put together a bounty and hope to entice a developer to design a replacement app? I am sure their are enough sprint users that would kick in.

I agree. Anyone interested?

I am.

I wish there would be some headway on this. There's been some change in the past two days that leaves me with 0 signal in my office and, of course, it won't stay on roaming and keeps bouncing back and forth. I don't know if they're having issues at this one tower, or if they have changed the direction of the antenna, or what.

I was looking for this as well to get my phone to force roam in places I got bad service. I had the app on my EVo, and EVo 3D and got spoiled. My service sucks at work and home even with the Airrave. This is what I did and it works for me.
- download this Hidden Menu apk View attachment HiddenMenu_No_Root.apk and install it
- download this zip View attachment Modded_VZW_PRLs.zip
- Once you download the Modded Verizon Zip. Extract the files. Rename the PRL that says 00002 to Test.prl. (Feel free to try other PRL's. Just posting what works for me). Use Move or Copy (My Files stock app, Astro, or whatever you use) to put Test.Prl on root of Sd Card, (not ext card).
- Once its on the root of the SDCard storage turn off your wifi, and your data.
- click on the Hideen Menu app (apk) you downloaded and installed already
- tap launch settings> ##DATA#Menu>View>PRL Write.
- After you tap PRL Write the phone should reboot.
- After reboot Tap Menu>System Settings>About Phone>Status and you should see this below

PRL should show 2
If it does you are now roaming. If it doesnt. Then try again. It usually works if data and wifi is off. If your looking to go back to Sprint. Just update your PRL the normal way. This wouldnt be considered "on the fly" like the roaming app, (without a reboot) but its fast, close enough and does the job for ME. If this is a repeat of what everyone already knew, ignore this obviously. This is for ppl that may not know or the search button isnt working for you.... I'm using Jelly Bomb btw. I know it doesnt work on AOSP Roms. Dont know about the others.
**I'm sure everyone knows the consequences for roaming too much on Sprint. I actually had my account terminated before for the same. Which in my case worked out. They terminated the contract but not my line, phone number or account so I was able to come back as a new account. May have got lucky. Dunno & dont want to find out. I try to use it just AS NEEDED and go easy on the DATA roaming as well. I monitor my bills just to be sure.. Dont get lazy and leave it roaming all day everyday because your content with having service everywhere like I did. Take it off when in places you have Sprint service.
Hope this helps

So................ I am in the middle of building my MC2 H20 ROM and I will see about putting this in my ROM maybe as a toggle option in the dropdown, and in settings. I will see what time permits. If I finish the rom before this is complete I will focus on this.

Extreme Bloatware Removal 4.1.2 Stock ROM Best Battery

I love the Note... the big screen, powerfull quad-core processor, 4G LTE... Huge 3,100mAh Battery... I like Samsung TW too...
But yes, that is all i use my phone for... CALL/TXT/WEB... VIDEO/GAMES PLAY... DOWNLOAD FILES AND MOVIES...
I dont use S Pen, dont make sketches or notes by hand, dont use Swipe or WiFi calling, I only synch my contacts with Google... nothing else... so i dont need any other features/elements of the stock 4.1.2 TW ROM so i deleted everything that isnt of use for me and that i know it wont crash the OS or give me FCs of the stuff i use...
Makes the ROM small and snappy, and gives me exelent battery life, almost next to none battery drain...
So before you bash me, consider that there are mybe other users just like me that dont need all the extra features running in the background, and want the best possible battery life...
I am posting screenshots of 4 pages Titanium Backup w the elements my ROM runs, 39 in total only, when you first load TB on a stock ROM it will read 250+ elements !!!
Before you freeze/delete anything, please make sure you wont need that service... for example, dont delete GoogleCalendarSynch if you use the calendar to make/synch notes and appointments...
You need some basic knowlege of what is what, and just freeze first and see if all your things you use are working properly...
I just decided to share the minimum elements to run properly the stock ROM and get the best battery with close to none drain when you dont use your phone...
OK, here is how my Titanium Backup looks like after i deleted every single element i do not use:

Hah yes sold the Blaze $170 got a nice Note 2 w 32GB card for $340, call it a good deal time to get me some LTE goodness i thinks haha.

I even factory reset the phone after deleted everything... to clear the caches and stuff...
Works just fine, the only thing i notice, i had to go to the Mobile Networks and change the APN name from the etc one to the fast, as i deleted all the pre config things from the ROM i assume it wasnt set automaticly, so phone didnt conected to the network automaticly...

Not sure if it was for the note 2 or note 1 but it was an aroma flash file that let u delete all the bloatware
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium

this is really useful. good to know that all the com. stuff are useless and can be frozen. was there any list you went by to see what each element is for? i remember there was a list available when i was using the s2, but haven't seen one for the note 2.
does anyone know which ones are needed for wifi calling? i need to keep those.
and also my phone keeps thinking it's new and keeps giving me info on how to swipe to unlock phone after every restart, is there anyway to stop that? i removed most of the stuff like the op, but is having this issue. pretty much my only problem aside from wifi calling.

This interests me greatly and i'd like to know if you just freeze the unused apps or completely un install them\
EDIT:
nevermind no one answer that i figured things out sorry

So is it a list that gives whats safe to unistall i would to try this as well

If you go in to system updates through the settings and check for the update, you have 3 options, No Thanks, Download Later, and Download Now.
If you click No Thanks, the alert goes away. It will even state in the system update app that the last update (on June 30th, 2105) failed.
Download later allows you to choose a time that better suits you.
And of course Download Now, starts the process right now.
Hope this helps.

When i go to system update all i have is update now or later. I don't get the no thanks option.

Also seems to have helped with wifi issue before it was like i was on dial up, couldnt get a page to load but now i can actually use wifi

Yes, waiting to d/load it later today.
From Droid-Life:
An update is rolling out for the LG G4 on Verizon, bringing a few features to owners, but nothing all that special. The software version is labeled as VS98611A.
Included is an enhanced Folio display while a call is taking place, an updated consistency for displaying contacts and non-contacts in the Dialer app, and an enhanced Advanced Calling feature. That’s it.
