Tethering?
Sent from my LG-H811 using Tapatalk

I have around 800MB of used data on Android os also and I haven't tethered the phone once doesn't even show exactly which app or how it's being used

Nope

Do you have photos upload over mobile data on?

Nope and I have sync off.

And you turn it off from the google settings, yes? And not from the account sync option for google photos backup. It snatched 871mb of my data yesterday.

Sounds like something like this. That's a crazy amount of data.
Maybe try installinga better app to monitor data traffic and figure out what's using it.

I actually just found it to be the twitch game streaming app, which is kind of odd considering that it is registering under android os and not twitch.

Yeah, crazy. But for some reason the google photos settings doesn't stick. I came to know it was it when i check data usage. When i check in account settings, google account keep on syncing. Checking further, the refresh arrow is next to google photos backup. No matter how many times i force it to stop, it keeps on running. Then when I check in google setting, it does have the Google Photos setting. I disable that, and boom. It's gone.
My phone went crazy hot during that time. But since i was traveling, i didnt pay any attention to it. Silly me.

Data services

I'm curious to know if there is a way to activate then deactivate data services on demand per program request.

Interesting app. Have read the name hundreds of times but never tried it.

I see it has to schedule 3g activation times for background services. My question was more for on demand when not using the phone. So instead of scheduling it would be automatic.

With froyo you can turn off data when you want

I appreciate your help but i must be asking the wrong question.
Scenario:
My phone is in my pocket. 3g is off. a program wants to use data. Lets say my email app wants to poll for new mail.
With jd I'm waiting for the schedule window. Is there a way to enable 3g when my email wants data use, then disable when its done. But also, be not limited to just the email client but any app.
I'm sill studying my java and xml before I start diving into app dev.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
JuiceDefender allows for "exceptions" (apps that are capable of utilizing data when they need to regardless of JD's settings) if you set all of the apps you wanted to have them then I'm sure it would be pretty close to what you want, but don't expect the same level of battery saving.
I bought jd just to test that. I will see how it goes.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
I can't be positive if its jd or the apps but the on demand thing is crap. I'm guessing its not jd. But the way the apps send and receive data using the "service" doesn't work like it should.

[Q] Facebook Toubles...

Is anyone else having issues with the Facebook app? It extends to every Facebook related application including Friendcaster as well as sharing to Facebook from Instagram.
The issue is one of the inability to access any Facebook information while using my data connection. If I switch to wifi it works flawlessly.
Any Ideas?
Yep having the same problem...glad to see its not just me

I'm running AOKP build 40. Aerovans 10.5 kernel. Confirmed not working on the FB app and BARELY working on mobile web.
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app
Also, I've noticed that if I don't kill the FB app it ends up sucking up 75MB of RAM and hogs the CPU

I'm running Aeroevan's cm9 with the v10 kernal. It happens with sense roms as well... I have got seesmic to work properly over 3g but i had to turn on wifi to get it to connect to Facebook initially.

Same here. CM9 aero v10.
Using Stream, it's very slow if it does work at all.
Seems to work ok through wifi though.
I thought it was just me also. lol
I would love to see one of our devs jump on this and fix the damn app in minutes lol

Glad it's not just me having issues, I've tried every rom I got to get the fb app to load, if I'm on 3g ill get a few kb of data to transfer, then nothing I gave up and am using friendcaster, it's running as of now

I'm having the same issue on both my DINC2 and my Nook Color. Not having the issue on my Original DINC. The Facebook app will login and I can upload photos/comment on photos/comment on statuses, but I can't update my own status or post on someone's wall. It says "Unfortunately, Facebook has stopped" anytime I try to update my status. Very frustrating.
I can't login to Spotify, Foursquare, Instagram, or any other app that is linked to my account. I can't even login on Friendcaster. It just sticks in a login loop. On my Nook I'm able to login to Draw Something but that's it. (I know this is the DINC2 forum, I just wanted to throw that in there...)
I don't know how to tell the kernel version. Here is my phone info.

It has to be the Facebook mobile site servers because if you request desktop site it's fast. Facebook app has even gone to **** on my iPod touch

It's not a matter of being slow, though. Unless I am on wifi I cannot access it at all... also, apps that require permissions from Facebook (ie. Instagram, foursquare etc) won't be able to access Facebook to get the proper permissions unless I am on wifi.

OK so I'm guessing its either the ****ty FB servers or our custom roms.....I'm thinking its the FB servers
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda app-developers app
Its not the ROM's - definitely a Facebook issue.
I am pretty sure they are trying to figure out a way to serve mobile ads thru the server similar to the desktop. It cant be a server issue, its Facebook - lol.
They can more than afford and service high quality servers.
I dont use the app on my phone (or my tablet) anymore cause it took up a lot of space even while 'dormant'. I found three processes running at one time.

Oddly, I found a Rom that the Facebook app works on. Andybones stock Rom works flawlessly.

I disabled the ad blocker app I had installed and fb app works like a charm again
Edit : scratch that doesn't make a difference

Possible solution. Go to your security settings in facebook on a computer, Remove all of your recognized devices, clear data on the facebook app. Log back in. FB on 3g is working for me right now. We'll see.

I quit using the official fb app awhile ago, but recently I installed it again and I changed the permission to user r/w, and executable in rom toolbox and It's been about 6hrs now and it seems like it's running fine, probably got figured out on fb side and what I did probably meant nothing but figure I'd share anyway

What's the deal with the Data Usage being different on all 4 sources?

So far the build in data usage from the settings menus says I have used 1.12gb
While the text messaging way to check it from att says 1.36gb
The myAtt app reports only 1gb
And I downloaded an app saying 1.17gb
What gives? Which one is the most accurate?

I find the built in data to be fairly accurate but I rely on the myatt app as I am getting billed based on what they monitor.

Disable data usage for selected apps

Hi
Any application exist that we can make some apps not to use Internet data???
Because my problem is I will buy only 100mb data for one month just because of whatsapp chatting but some other apps like Facebook linked in and some other system update apps consume lot of data and it will be over within 15 days, so how can I make other apps not to use my Internet, if it is possible normal setting please suggest me???
Thanks

You can use mobiwall app from playstore and it has option for blocking apps internet usage for both wifi and mobile data.

don't need an extra app
you don't need an extra app... :
Settings -> Data usage
Down there's a list with apps -> tick one and then on the bottom there is "Restrict Background data" to prevent apps using the mobile connection.
Another way is rooting and use AFWall+ from fdroid repository

[Q] Apps disappearing

For some reason my xda forum app keeps getting uninstalled. I have it in a folder on my home screen, and it's still there but when I click it it opens the play store with the option to install.
Possibly related, my yahoo account keeps getting dropped. I don't get any email and when I open yahoo it makes me login again. And there's tons of email.
Another odd bug I've noticed is the first word swipe typing is usually way off and always a much smaller word the word I wad going for? God I hate not having root
Any info is appreciated
No one else has had any of these problems or knows how to fix them? Bump
Some how it got installed to sd instead of device. I moved it to the device. Hopefully that fixes it
