HTC Desire :: Which Application Or Widget Using Huge Amounts Of Data?
Jul 6, 2010
I've just got myself a Desire since last week and I am really really happy with it. It's my first android phone (previously had a Nokia N95) so I am still trying to get my head around it.
I've just realised that the phone is using massive quantities of data over the last two or three days. I have installed an app to show me how much and it is saying over 4gb, a lot of it during the night when I have not being using the phone.
I have obviously been using the phone a lot since I got it but nothing close to that amount. The most data hungry app that I can think of that I have used is Grooveshark and that was only for about 20 minutes. Also I have gone into all the apps I can think of and made sure that they are either set for manual sync or else no more than once a day. Is there a way for me to tell which app or widget or whatever is using all of this data? I am sure I have forgot to change the settings on something but I cannot figure out what it could be.

So I've had my DHD for 3 days, done a little 3G browsing the usual stuff Facebook, emails etc., but nothing more as I used my home WiFi for the widget and app downloads. But today I got a text from Vodafone saying I was near my internet usage limit for the Month! Within 3 days!? I have a 750MB limit, which the chap in the shop assured me was enough to keep me happy as 'no one ever goes over that.'
I was happy with that even though my previous contract was unlimited internet as he said it would be ok. All I can think of is the email syncing, so turned that off. But what else could be causing me to go over the 750MB limit within 3 days? Surely thats a huge amount to be used?

I have an app that only requires the value of a textview field to be saved... what would be the most simple and efficient way to save such a small amount of data? Creating a database for this seems like overkill. would onSaveInstanceState be sufficient?

I went to do a nandroid backup and it failed, "no space on my SD card".
Thats weird, as usually have at least 4 gig on my Nexus S 4g.
Poking around, it was the cache from Google plus,).[url].... That, coupled with my titanium backup of same ate my SDCARD. easy to fix Titanium from backup it up, but the cache is still several gigs large. 40,000 + files with [number].screen extensions.
I have like 2 friends on google+, 3 posts, and can not for the life of me figure out what in the world all that data is.
I'm going to remove the data , freeze the app, but just wanted to know if noticed a disproportionate amount of data in the Google+ app compared to the amount of activity/usage I have on google+.

I'm working on a widget that will change the data it is displaying when a user taps on it. This would normally be easy to deal with, but my app widget provider is handling multiple widget instances that have different sets of data. With that being said, when a user taps on the widget, a PendingIntent is launched that calls the changeData() method. Inside the intent that is launched is where I store the widget ID so changeData() knows which data set to use. At first I was storing widget IDs in the intent's extras, but I found out that there is a bug in how Android widgets handled widget intent extras so now I am trying to store the widget by passing a URL using the setData() method(formatted like content:widgetId I.E. content:24, etc.).
This is how I am setting the data for the PendingIntent:
Intent changeData = new Intent("com.tonycosentini.mintdroid.CHANGE_DATA");
changeData.setData(Uri.parse("content:" + currentWidgetId));
PendingIntent changeDataPendingIntent = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, changeData, 0);
However once I try to test this, the onRecieve() method that is usually called when a widget is tapped is no longer called. Is there something I need to setup in my Android Manifest file for this work properly or is there something I'm doing completely wrong?

Does anybody know if there is a widget out there that turns off "background data"?The Sync option from power control only turns on/off auto sync.

Until very recently, I had a widget on one of my Desire home screens that allowed me to toggle mobile data with one touch. It was an official (HTC or Android) widget, and I found it so useful I wanted to use it as an example or how to put a widget on the phone for my Dad... who has also just got one.And now I can't find it again under 'Add to Home' 'Widget'.What's happened? Have HTC pulled it? I know there are thid-party options, but I'd like my original back!

I decided to try out LauncherPro and I quite like it but one big annoyance is that there's no longer a widget for toggling mobile data on/off. Any widget that would do that on the market?
PS: I tried Android on-off widget but it only changed access points or something and that's not what I'm looking for.

There must be a way of checking data usage on the phone without recourse to an app; the app gets its data from somewhere on phone and presumably repackages it so its all user friendly and easy to see etc. I could dispense with the 3G watchdog altogether (just cutting widgets down) if I knew where it was. Is it the packet figure in *#4636.?

Say I want to make an app with certain tutorials...A lot of em..
I've classified them and made lists (like several buttons)...leading to the activity displaying the corresponding tutorials.
Now since most of them are going to be mostly text , What is the best way to implement it ?
I want it to be scrollable ...and zoomable and simply Display all the steps of the tutorial vertically on one page (like we see in MS word- neat.)
What's the best option I can use for this ?

I'm making an Android Java app game (although this question applies to all languages really) and hope to release the first version soon. I'm nervous about how I save data in my game. My problem is that, if in a later update, I decide to store more data or store the same data in a different way, I need to be careful I don't lose or corrupt data for users that upgrade (i.e. I want users to be able to use data created by an old version in the new version, like their high scores from before).For example, say I want to save high scores in version 1.

I will be developing a dictionary app for both Android and iPhone. The data will be embedded within the app, and it consists out of approximately 100000 words, with genus and plural form. Is it better to use a SQLite database or can I just stick to XML? Somehow SQLite sounds more efficient, but I thought let's just ask.

all my contacts are google contacts with several linked to Facebook accounts.When I access my contacts through the People widget, all's good, I only see the google contacts (I've deselected Facebookers in the view menu). However when I access the Messages widget all my contacts are doubled up for some reason. I realise this list is also showing facebook contacts as well as google contacts but even the non-facebook contacts are doubled up.

to start with I've gone through the entire notepad tutorial, I'm a professional game programmer who has some extra time. (though most of my time has been in C++, I did take a year or two of Java classes in college, and remember some of it). I'm not sure the site is a good site to ask questions like this.. If someone has a Forum that might be a good place to ask these newbie questions, please feel free to point me in the direction. I've examined a few of the samples, and think I've a grasp of what I want to do. I've a three to four project plan for some Android releases to sharpen my skills, but since this is my first project and I have never really developed for a mobile phone or the android before, I'd like to make sure I have a solid plan.The first project is an example of the license plate game, however I want to do a few things to change it. Heck maybe when I'm done it'll become a bingo style game, with bluetooth connectivity, you never know. The base idea is I want to offer a list of states, with checkboxes next to them. so to do this, I'll be starting with a Linear List layout similar to the note pad example, and then have a row that is only a Checkbox. I can use text and call strike through if it's been checked off. Perhaps offer an option to not show them if they are checked.
But I want the list to be generated from a set of lists. Maybe all of America's states, maybe reasonable American states (no Hawaii, no Alaska) maybe a North American list, (add in Mexico and some Canadian provinces), a European list, who knows. I'd probably have to have a pop up window that lists all of the lists I suppose using a radiogroup of some sort. So then as far as the data, after weighing options I think best solution is to make a database with two fields, "checked" and "name".I figure I can use the menu for most of the user interaction (aside from clicking on stuff we want to check off) with maybe a few context menu items, I understand how to make all of those already so I should be good. The question I have is what is the best way to populate the lists? Should I create raw data, and have different files for all the lists? Or is there some other way to do this? I've seen this done on the searchable dictionary, but I'd like to hear what people who have actually generated the data like this before. In addition is there an easy way to look at the sql database these applications create, or do you have to run searches on them and output the data? Finally any other suggestion or advice? I definitely want to try to get something like this on the market so I can see the full life cycle and see if anyone actually likes it. (luckily there's not a plethora of them already) but I also want a few people to look over my code if they're willing when I'm done to make sure I've done this right or at least not missing any basic mistakes.

I'm looking for a call log widget and a voicemail widget which look like the default mail app widget.That is, a simple small widget which show me the number of missed calls (if it's the call log widget) or the number of voicemails received (if it's the voicemail widget), just like the mail widget shows the number of emails received.

I just signed up for these forums because soon I will be an HTC Desire owner in Canada. Having never owned a smartphone before I do have a few questions. The plan I intend on signing up for is the Telus Student 40 and that will come with only 100mb of data. Now I don't see myself being too data using heavy so I feel like I will be able to live with it. However I do have some questions regarding my data consumption.
1. Is it possible to completely stop all data usage by somehow disabling the data connection if I find myself reaching my limit?
2. What are ways to track my data usage to make sure I don't use too much data?
3. What are good ways to conserve data usage? I'm getting the feeling that there are some applications that will constantly be sending data back and forth updating themselves, is it possible to have these applications but stop them from constantly updating and only have them update when I want to access the application?.........

I swap the giant clock on homescreen for something much smaller? I need more real estate and cant figure out how to disable it for the life of me. I also like weather but it, too, should be much smaller if there is different weather application.

When the battery is low (Red LED blinkng) and somtimes at 15% when the popup comes up and you try to take pictures in close to or complete darkness pictures taken will look cut off like below:
Picasa Web Albums - JeffreyPeacock
If you keep taking pictures it will get to a point where the flash will stop working altogether and it will focus red bars take a picture of darkness since the flash did not come off. Opening and closing the camera app fixes this problem temporarily. If you plug it in and take pictures while plugged in the problem goes away. If you let it charge for a little bit unil it gets to around 15% and take unplug it and take pictures, the pictures will be fine until the battery drops to low (Red LED blinking). Two of my droids experiences this issue and my friend's droid as well.
This happened with 2.0 and 2.0.1
Additional Info:
What is weird is that when I start taking pictures, first 1/4 of the photo will be cut off, then 1/2, then 3/4, finally just a sliver of picture will come through. Then the flash wont even come on at all... even if I force the flash on under settings no light will appear. Then I have to restart the camera app to get it to cycle through. It would make sense it is a battery issue having a decrease in voltage and not being able to supply the needed power to the LED, but do all droids have that problem? Do I defected unit or battery?

If I want to render just a huge map, what is the best practice when using OpenGL ES with a mobile device (Android or iPhone based)? What is the best structure to contain all the vertices, normales and texture coordinates? I guess using a interleaved structure may give you some performance benefits caused by memory caching. Ok? Should I use drawArrays or drawElements to push my data to OpenGL ES? Well, I did no testing at all but I might think, that drawElements might be faster if the GFX does not use shared memory since you do not have to push that much data. Since this is really close to metall, what do you think? (the iPhone is ARM based while the Android platform is Qualcomm based (also an ARM?)

I have some Android code that can send files to my webserver using an HttpsUrlConnection, but when it tries to send larger files I get an OutOfMemory exception when opening the OutputStream. Can anyone offer some assistance?
It looks something like this:
code:..............
This is where I try different things. The closes solution has been: httpConn.setChunkedStreamingMode(1024); In this case, I don't get the OutOfMemory immediately when opening the OutputStream, but I see the heap growing as I os.write() and it eventually runs out.
code:..............
