Hi guys, I've tried searching a lot and have come up empty handed. I don't have a data plan on my phone (just use wifi at home/school/work) and I need an app that stores movie showtimes for the close by theaters so that I can look at them later when i dont have a connection to the internet. maybe something that caches the data so it doesnt have to connect. any suggestions?
really? nothing?

Hey Gang!
I'm really stumped and frustrated right now. I have ALWAYS been able to play my Amazon Apps (Plants vs Zombies, Glow Hocky, Angry Birds, Peggle, etc) when not connected to the internet UNTIL today! For some reason now when I try to play offline, it tells me that the app requires internet connection?! Is something messed up?
This is really pissing me off! Did Amazon change something??? Anyone else having this problem?
I have no problem playing offline, I tried peggle.
Update... ok so I did some research and found out that sometimes uninstalling the Amazon app, shutting down, rebooting and then reinstalling the app will fix the problem. Crazy, but seems that since the Amazon Apps only work when the Amazon App Store is installed sometimes it doesnt see it being offline and shoots out the "internet connection needed error". Weird!
It's due to the licensing function of the app store. You should be able to use offline, but you probalby got caught in between a "token outdated" time period.
Hi,
I've recently discovered that very large amounts of data are being transferred from my Nexus S which is pushing me over my data limit of 750mb. I downloaded 3G watchdog and monitored traffic for a while and noticed that every hour or so data use goes wild running into the tens of mb over a very short period of time.
I'm currently running MIUI-109020 and have a fairly standard range of apps installed. I've tried killing all of the apps that might possibly transfer data but this makes no difference. So, at the moment I've turned off mobile data before it bankrupts me but obviously I'd like to have it back on again.
Anyone, anywhere have any thoughts or pointers as to what might be going on or how I could solve it?
BTW I'm in the UK on Vodaphone's network.
Cheers

That much data? Email, gmail, facebook sync.
Install Droidwall and prevent some apps from the network.
I would also like to see what exactly Android is doing all the time...
MIUI has a built in Monitor app. Use that to see which app is using up your data.
You may also want to opt-out of MIUI stats. I'm not sure of how much data it sends, but it will cut down on some of your data usage.
Droidwall is a great suggestion as well. Prevent some apps from connecting on 3G but allow them on wifi. If you want some apps to connect on 3G, check your sync settings.

Thanks for your replies. I've now installed droidwall and that looks like it could help. I've also purchased the pro version of 3G Watchdog (hadn't realised MIUI had a monitor app) and that's showing me what how much data my apps are using.
I phoned Vodaphone and they increased my data plan to 1GB which gives me a little leeway while I try to work this out. So I'll test it again tomorrow and see if I can work out what's going on.

Is your Gallery app syncing pictures to Picassa? It's the only thing i can think of that would explain that much data in a short period of time.
Problem solved. Google+ was the culprit. By default the app had Instant Upload of all photo's and video's set to on. That has cost me about £50 since installing the app in late September when it first came out. Thank's Google
Thanks for all your tips. At least now I have a better handle on data monitoring and firewall protection.

Wow, never thought Google Plus would use that much, even though it syncs a ton. Good think I have unlimited, may want to look into it yourself.

I'm having an issue, it's not really for OPO but for all android I think...
The thing is, you can choose between Wi-Fi or Internet sim card connection; and right now you can limit the traffic limit.. That's my problem :
I've a music app that can do unlimitted traffic download (and it doesn't cover nothing from the SIM CARD internet), But I want to put a limit/allert in my other apps that waste traffic limit... Is it possible in 4.4.4 or need any APP ?
Sorry I'm not using Android for a while and idk about apps that could easy do this stuff!

sorry, kind of hard to understand what you are requesting.
under Settings > Data Usage. You can set mobile data limit and you will receive a warning/notification when you come close. Is this what you are asking?

I already saw what you saying and that's what I'm trying to use but I've one online music player that my personal network SIMCARD allow to use as unlimited (but just on that player). I dont know how to put that player as an exception.. U understand what I meant? Lol sorry...
Hi
I hope you can help me,
I got a Sony 3 smart watch yesterday ,it took ages to load up on my wifi. Eventually it was ready and i go outside say Ok google it works.
But if i try to browse on my phone I can't connect on it.
Does the smart watch block the phone from my data plan?
Many thanks in advance

the watch connected has got nothing to do with mobile data working on your phone. try checking your settings on your phone for mobile data.
So I've been playing Coin Dozer for a while, and I simply can't imagine how a game like this is using more than 50mb of data per day. Being pissed off, I turned off data and started playing the game again.
Needless to say, during this no-data period, ads still show in the game, messages are still being received in both whatsapp and Line, etc. I just tested youtube and yep, videos still play.
I've been searching around and only find one thread with the same problem but on a different phone. Solution for that person seems to be "disable 4G."
Does anyone know how to fix this problem for G flex 2? Or at least how to disable 4G so I could try whether that works for this phone?
Connection Optimizer
If I had to take a wild guess, I would say try to turn off the connections optimizer if it is not already. Then use a startup manager and disable this app from starting on boot. I used "Startup Manager (Free)". The optimizer, even if you turn off Wifi, will automatically turn it back on and keep searching for hotspots. I assume it is the same with mobile data.
