I got my first bill today and Ive gone over my minutes and a nice bill of 39 extra! Is there a widget to monitor how many minutes i have used. I have a similar one for Internet usage but cant find one for out going calls.

I have enabled the notification LED on my Desire for all events. And it starts blinking. But it blinks for 5 minutes only, then goes off. Same thing on Hero. There is no entry to specify how long to blink. I want the LED to blink until I turn the phone on. Otherwise it is useless.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAbout a month ago my HTC Desire started overheating and shutting off after about 5 minutes of web browsing. I've rooted it and all but I dont have a backup of the original recovery and unrooted stock ROM (for telus). Today it felt like it was going to catch on fire while it was in my pocket (it wasnt being used as I was in the middle of a class). I figure that I cant wait any longer for Telus to release an update that would allow me to unroot my phone so can anyone who has a stock telus desire please send me a backup of their stock ROM!

Tue Sep 28 18:02:24 GMT+08:00 2010
And I use the pattern for the SimpleDateFormat:
new SimpleDateFormat("EEE MMM dd HH:mm:ss zzzzzzzzz yyyy");
But I keep getting the ParseException.
So I went into Meijer and my little white satellite with the green bars was on for 15 minutes straight. What would cause this? I have the weather channel widget. It looked like beautiful widgets was using the GPS while I was in there but I don't even have that widget on any screen. This was after looking at what was using the battery up. It showed Beautiful widgets. BTW, I am new to smart phones. I am trying to figure out what to leave on all the time. It's a smart phone for goodness sake. I believe I have pretty much everything on except bluetooth. I only turn this on when I get in the car.

any other easier way? am i missing something is there any sprint app?
I just want to be able to check my minutes quickly when i want.. since it's only 450 i don't wanna fuck up.
I guess it's only $10 more for 900 minutes if I tell them right now.
Searched but could not find an app which tells you how many minutes of you plan you have used? I'm on sprint. WM6.1 had such apps for my Mogul but I've switch to an Hero Android device.
View 3 Replies View RelatedThis morning I took my evo off the charger after charging the whole night. For some background info I have all my accounts to sync manually and I did the gsm data trick and I am not running a live wallpaper. So I start my phone and turn on my wifi( I have everything else off) I then go watch about 10 mins of youtube videos and check my email. So I started at 100% and at the end of the videos and checking my email I was at 75%! What is going on here? I have done everything I can to ensure proper battery life but this seems outrageous?

View 1 Replies View RelatedPlain and simple: When the Evo is fully charged, it begins running off its battery until you plug it back in. It DOES NOT trickle charge whatsoever after it reaches 100%. When you're using your Evo on the charger, and it's showing full 100% charge, it is running off the battery, not the AC plug. And then when you unplug it, well, we all know what happens next. The battery meter drops insanely fast to the actual charge of the battery, which could be very low, depending on how long it's been sitting idle at 100% on your charger. So all those times you've charged your Evo overnight, only to take it to work the next day and be at 80% within an hour? Your Evo was running off its battery for what I'm guessing was most of the night. It takes my Evo about an hour to two hours to fully charge back to 100%. Let's say you put your Evo on the charger at 11PM, it'll reach full charge by 1AM at the latest, and then run off its battery until whenever you take it off the charger in the morning. Workarounds? 1) Turn your Evo off while it's charging. 2) If you must leave it on for an alarm clock, put it in airplane mode and end all CPU intensive tasks to minimize battery drain. 3) When you wake up, unplug it for 10-20 minutes (still experimenting with this number), and then plug it back in to top it off. Onceit reaches 100%, take it off the charger, and go about your day. Try it out for yourself. When your Evo is 100% charged, take it off the charger immediately, and I highly doubt you will lose the 10%-15% within minutes.

View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen I charge my Incredible with the AC charger, it is fine. But right when I unplug the USB (at 100%), the battery would drop to 92% in 2 minutes with me not doing anything at all. Then I plug it in my CAR charger and when it reaches 100% everything is perfectly fine. The phone still last all day with a lot of usage. But just wondering if anyone knows why the battery drops to 92% so fast?
View 19 Replies View RelatedI've got an EVO LTE running ICS, Charmeleon rom.
I want to set a PIN lock on the phone so i can enable encryption. but if i do that, the biggest timeout i can set is 15 minutes. I was hoping there was some setting i could tweak somewhere to really increase the maximum timeout. I'd prefer it to be something more like 2 hours, or even a day.
I did see there's an app called delayed lock that'll do this for me, but I want to use the encryption on ICS and it says it wont work with encryption enabled.
Is there someway to increase the lock timeout?
Just to be clear - i'm not talking about the screen turning off - i'm talking about the phone locking and having to enter a pin. Once i boot up the phone I don't want to have to re-enter that PIN again unless the phone has been idle for at least 2 hours (or longer).
Had problems with their Hero cutting out during a call? After a few minutes (less than 5) I find I can't hear the other person and then it cuts out. I'm on my second Hero (first one had touch screen problems galore). I love my phone but I'm reduced to using it for email and text as I haven' t got the energy to fight with T Mobile again....

View 2 Replies View RelatedReceived an update on my Eris a few days back for Google Maps (I think that was the application that was targeted). Since then, when I use the Navigator the GPS has had a problem connecting. Sometimes it searches for a GPS signal for almost 30 minutes. I'm in the heart of Denver and have not had this problem before the update. Did anyone else update and are now having connection issues?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI would like to write an app on Android to upload my GPS location to an external website once every 5 minutes. This needs to have as minimal an impact on battery life as possible, but it also needs to work without any user interaction. (Background: I'm competing in an Ironman triathlon which will take me about 14 hours to complete, and want to broadcast my location in near-real-time but without having to worry about fiddling with my phone.) So my initial thought is to write a Service which uses LocationManager.requestLocationUpdates() with a minTime of 5 minutes, but will this actually wake the device up every 5 minutes for my service to do its job?
It sounds like I would also need to use AlarmManager.setInexactRepeating() to make sure my service is awake while it completes its task but how does that play with requestLocationUpdates()? Should I instead set minTime=0 on requestLocationUpdates() but then go back to sleep as soon as the next update is obtained? Any general guidance on how to design this. I'm a competent Java programmer & will be using Google Maps on the server to plot my location, but am pretty new to Android development so I'm basically looking for a high-level plan on how to architect the client app.
Is there a way to convert milliseconds to minutes using java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit?
This answer seems to suggest that you can use a TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes() method, and the documentation suggests that you could use the TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.convert() method with TimeUnit.MINUTES - the problem is that neither TimeUnit.MINUTES or TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes() seem to actually exist.
I am looking for a app that will beep you every few minutes if you have a message of any kind until you view or respond to it. Is this available?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've been having a little problem with the alarm on my EVO. I have an alarm set for early a.m. Usually I don't wake up from the sound of the alarm until it's been going off for about 3 minutes or so (I'm a heavy sleeper) So here is my problem: I wake up with the buzz of the alarm going off but I can find no way to disable the sound. I go into the clock menus and I can find nothing. I usually have to shut the phone off which makes no sense to me... How do I disable the alarm after it's been sounding for 3 minutes?

Whenever the screen is off and I'm listening to anything that requires mobile data (pandora, streaming radio), it cuts out after about 5 minutes.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI tried using my navigation today to get to a snake call and the it just kept giving me the message Locating GPS. Luckily I had written down some directions before I left. But after over 30 minutes of driving, it never got a GPS lock. I have been keeping the GPS on all the time now because it has been getting worse and worse. At this point, it is about useless for navigation. Any ideas? This is a function that I REALLY need and I need it to work fast and on the fly.
