I'm trying to write an Android widget that shows how much data has been transferred over 3G/WIFI/EDGE but I can't seem to find the API call, even though other widgets do this. Does anyone know what the API calls are to get the data usage?

Is there a setting i'm missing?
The service providers in my country are charging for the MBs I downloaded in my GPRS/EDGE connection. So, whenever I want to disable the GPRS, I just change my default APN to something wrong and then correct it when I want to enable it again. I couldn't find another way to enable/disable. I think,Android team assumed that only 3G users with a good data plan only would use this phone. Anyway, I just want to develop an application which can do that automatically for me. However; I couldn't find how to change the APN settings in the docs. but I couldn't find how to use it. Could you please help me? Any alternative ways and/or suggestions are welcome.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am a new HTC Magic (Vodafone) user and have downloaded a number of useful Apps from the market. Since I work away from the UK (and have roaming disabled) and I have a Wi-Fi at home, I do not have a data pack included in my contract. However, I have found that a great App I downloaded - NetCounter - is reporting cell traffic that is going to end up costing me a lot of money.
So I have a few questions.
1) How do I switch between running applications, so I can see what's running?
2) How do I prevent certain Apps from starting whenever I power on the phone?
3) How do I see what Apps are connecting to the internet(ignoring the WiFi) and creating unwanted cell traffic.
4) Is there something I can disable so that I can use the phone normally, but prevent it from connecting to the internet unless I am back home and using the WiFi connection.
So I'm traveling next week to Mexico and don't want to get all the roaming charges so my question is does turning on WiFi mode turn off 3G and EDGE? Also, what does airplane mode exacly turn off? And is there anyway just to turn off the phone mode? My last Samsung phone was a smart phone and I had the option to just turn the phone off and not everything else.
View 1 Replies View RelatedGot my x10 mini pro this week and had to swallow three times as I'd not been exposed to android and expected a SE experience. I got the google sync to work without a problem, internet and facebook updates feeding into the timecape - great. I managed to upload my old phone's contacts onto my newly creates SE account on this website, great. Then on the x10 mini pro, I set up the sync using standard SE button, entered my details of this website, which created a default entry trying to get to sync.sonyericsson.com which I cannot change.
When I try to synchronize, (Internet connection def working), this immediately fails, does not even seem to try to connect to the sync server. Error message appears in the status bar: Could not synchronize: Sony Ericsson (which is the name of the default sync entry). I tried creating a sync entry using the SE portal, finding out the secret username/password. That got exactly the same instant response apparently not even trying.

I'm wondering if on an android device there's a way to force it to keep open a wifi connection that is not used for data, for example to a Seagate Goflex Satellite (WiFi HDD) or eye-fi (WiFi SDHC) while also being simultaneously connected to 3G for data. Obviously connecting to 2 wifi connections is out of the question.

View 12 Replies View RelatedJust wondering why my Incredible can't find my TP2's wifi hot spot. I'm at work, and it found three secured networks near me (to which I don't have the PW of course), but it never picked up on my TP2 although they were less than a foot apart from each other. So I added the TP2 network via the add function, and it said my TP2 network was out of range. My work laptop was able to connect to the TP2 (even through VPN) with no problem.

Is there a way to toggle or even an app to use edge only? I have the HTC Aria, and can't seem to be able to select network. It's greyed out, and not sure why. It's my first android.

Hacker Spoofs Cell Phone Tower to Intercept Calls | Threat Level | Wired.com
I realize that there is a relatively small number of people who would actually try to do such a thing to intercept calls (and potentially data at some point with some tweaks), but assuming that this can easily be done and such, how big of a deal is this really? I'm not too well-versed when it comes to cell phone communications technology, so I'm just curious if anyone here can offer any opinions as far as just how vulnerable this leaves those of us on networks that use GSM like AT&T and T-Mobile. The article mentions that the hacker was only really able to make it work on 2G. Does that mean we're okay as long as our phones show we're on EDGE or 3G?
I have recently upgraded to the HTC DESIRE on o2, So far all I have seen is the "G" = GPRS, so far I have not seen 3G, E, or the HDPSA or what ever it is :-). Does o2 support anything else but "G" on this handset etc etc, or is my phone faulty ? I live in the UK and so far today I cant even use my internet - O2 have said there are having issues with 3G but didnt say where in the UK or maybe this is Nation Wide ?

Or if someone knows whether or not this is even possible please let me know.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI run into rather strange problem. My phone, china Android 2.3.4, is working quite weel instead of this:
If I use WIFI, then turn it off and try to use mobile data connection, it is not possible.
Icon showing that mobile connection should be active is on, but no data comming through.
I tried switchiing to airplane mode, changing access point names and so on, but nothing worked. Only solution was to restart the phone, after that all works normally - until connecting to wifi.
After rooting my phone I tried to figure out more with Teminal emulator. It seems that after releasing wifi connection and turning interface down, mobile interface comes up with same IP as before - it should ask network for new one. But, more important, route table is empty (or containing one entery and no default gateway at all) I tried bringing mobile interface up and down several times, tried forcing it to use dhcp (timeout), without success.
Is there a way to "reset" whole networking system from shell? Something like partial restart, which would be probably quicker than full restart.
I have been trying to find the answer to this question for a while and have found mixed opinions. Is it possible to use google voice to make wifi calls just like from the browser of a computer? I don't get it if you can call from a computer using wifi why can't I on my captivate?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am currently in China and therefor run a VPN on my PC to connect to the outside world, I would also like to run the same VPN (PPTP) on my android. I can connect via VPN if I am using WiFi but when I try to connect over GPRS/Edge I can't get any connectivity. All web pages load with the standard "web page not available" and apps, eg. the market place, won't connect either. I would have thought that if it was a carrier issue (CMCC) I wouldn't be able to connect to the VPN in the first place. So is this a Android issue, a setup issue or a carrier issue? And can you actuality run a VPN over GPRS om Android?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there any app or some thing like that, that I could use it to turn on mobile Internet 2G (EDGE/GPRS) or 3G (UMTS/HSDPA). I now turn off/on mobile Internet with Toggle Data widget, that changes APN type to "-" so it can't work. I am asking this because i use GPS tracker app. And I can turn it on with sms with code: "gps_tracker_start But if i want to report my location I need to be connected to Internet. So I could see my android phone even if it is not connected to internee. So is there any option to turn on mobile Internet remotely?
