I'm new to the world of android so trying to get used to all the stuff on here. Whats the difference between using specific apps e.g. facebook / ebay etc or just going on the web and visiting these places? Do they use a lot less internet allowance? Any other advantages / disadvantages?

AS per the question, how many of the HTC apps require you to be online to do anything? Like are they all weather, sat nav, or use the internet to show you locations, and such? I'm just wondering how many apps will require me to use GPRS when outside of a WiFi zone, which would be quite a lot of places really!
View 6 Replies View RelatedI am looking at which HTC phone to buy. I need WiFi to connect to the Internet at home. I also want PUSH email, my understand of PUSH email is that every half n hour or something I can get the software to go out and search for new emails whilst not having to go into the app and click refresh to see new emails, something which I have to do on my N95. I also need a decent SatNAV, now I know that google navigation is out. I don't know how good it is due to the lack of information out on the Internet. Do all HTC phones drain the battery with GPS? Okay so I need SatNAV, then I also need a phone with decent car cradles, I need something that enables me to rotation it portrait and landscape easily.
Do HTC phones come with a car charger in the box? I also use Gmail a lot, now is there any advantages that I will get from getting a HTC phone and utilizing my Gmail account, as well as calendar. Is there a simple way of getting the phone to sync with outlook such as the tasks and notes you make? Are most applications on Android free? Do the phones last a long time? I like the idea of the kickstand in the Droid incredible I think, that phone is very appealing for me. I am just thinking of getting the phone not for phone and text use but for just Internet and applications.
apps like youtube and scorecenter cant connect to the internet for me its been like this on and off since froyo any ways to fix it

I found "Alertsms" but I don't like it become it looks like I get two messages instead of one (one from peaople who is in my phone book and another from unknown number).
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am trying to connect to a network that uses proxy. I have entered the manual settings in the network and I am able to browse on the browser as well without any issues. However, no internet applications like playstore whatsapp or youtube works for me.
Any way I can assign proxy for all the applications on the phone.
the phone is top notch but every now and then it will just shut down and then will take bout half hour to get back on as when turn on it shuts down again and again. It mainly happens when running apps and internet, say i got internet n fb running then i start typing a text it will shut down for no reason i havnt a clue why this is happening. Getting so frustrating as i love the phone but i cant deal with it. Also why cant i browse the main browser using my 3g connection only with wi-fi but i can use opera mini using 3g ? thanks alot !
View 8 Replies View RelatedI just bought a Legend and am loving it for the most part. But I have one big problem - apps are not accessing the internet when not on WiFi. I have Vodafone, and the EDGE connection (we don't have 3G in India yet) works in the Internet browser, but none of the apps (twitter, facebook, nytimes, kayak) work on EDGE. Is there something I need to change in permissions or settings? All these apps have full internet access in their permissions, so I don't get why they are not working.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am looking how to prevent an application to connect to internet either on wifi or on data network mode.
My problem is that some applications are connecting, in background, to internet and I would like to restrict it.
For example in windows, you have a firewall and you can allow or prevent each program to connect to internet.
Went to use my phone today, not only would it not connect to the internet via mobile data connection or WiFi, when it did it had removed more than half of my previously installed apps. Eventually they all 'turned up' but one, Soundhound had reinstalled twice and both times the paid version.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have been having 3G issues on my captivate for a while. I can browse the web just fine and email, text, mms all fine. But downloading apps or things that need continuous internet download (i.e. speed test) will start then stop very slowly. The 3G window in the status bar will then flash occasionally but primarily stay unlit. I've hoped that it would continue to download, but after leaving my phone with the screen off for over an hour with an app downloading (only 2mb) gone from 20kb downloaded to 50kb and my battery went from 80 to 30. This happens for every app I attempt to download over 3G (wifi is perfectly fine) no matter what the size. Any idea why it seems to put the download into the background. I'm currently running cognition mod v2.3b2. This has happened on all versions of cognition I've had. I'm pretty sure it happened while I had stock 2.1 also.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've recently bought the Xperia X10 mini handset and since it was unable to download the settings from my service provider, I had to manually do the APN setup.
However, I was successful getting the internet from my handset browser but not from the applications like Email, Gmail, GTalk, Sony Ericsson Sync, and Market. I've got the notification icon for EDGE data transmission and is being indicated when accessed from the browser but not from the applications.
Do I need to do any other setting in order to access the internet from the applications? Can someone please help me setting up?

View 2 Replies View RelatedRight basically you can find the UK T mobile internet settings on the T mobile website. On the Speed Test app, the highest speeds I get are 1.8m/bs downloads and around 500kpbs upload. However, those were at off peak times at night etc (probably when nobody is using the net).Generally I get anything from 0.3 m/bs to 0.9 m/bs though. Lately I've been experiencing some inconsistent internet speeds and reconnection attempts so for I've gone back to the default settings. Tbh though I'm not sure if it makes much difference.
