Is there an app or something that can shutdown my data connection if it's idle (idle from my perspective) for a number of x minutes? Somehow I forgot to turn it off one day and received a massive bill from my operator.
Hope someone can help me with this problem.
Stock HTC Touch 2
Try BattClock 3.4... it's a great app and it shows allmost everything you want to know about the phone including data conection traffic

Hi,
This is a newbie question. I don't have a data plan. If I turn off Wifi (and background data sync is off too), the phone will hang randomly in 4 or 5 hours (till the battery is dead, or I remove and reinsert the battery). I am assuming it's some app (maybe a weather widget or something else) that keeps trying to connect to some server and hangs the phone. Do I have this right? It doesn't happen if Wifi is on. Is this a common issue with android?
If that is it, is there a simple solution? I would like a simple solution such as no app/widget can attempt internet connection once I turn off wifi.
thanks
Rooting it a d installing Droidwall (firewall) fixed my issues.

I have wifi turned on 24/7 however my phone still user data usage via GPRS for soem reason... if there any way of making the mozart use wifi and the primary connection.
Any help would be appreciated
I don't know, but maybe location services might still need to use your data connection. You can turn your data connection off though - settings > mobile network > data connection "off"

WiFi turns off in standby mode. Reconnects when you wake it up. So checking email will use data. Only way to avoid it is to turn off data in settings and not have push notifications

for HD7 you need to ON your 3G and Data Connection but you can choose whether you want to roam or don't roam.

You try to disable your 3g and data roaming when there's a wifi.
So, my friend recently got this phone...
Its not even a week since he bought it....
We use WhatsApp Messenger to chat but there is one problem.
His Data Network is always on but when he going to sleep he keeps his Data Network "ON" but it actually goes into something like sleep mode....
My messages don't get delivered to him via WhatsApp.....
It's like every time he turns off his phones display, his Data Network goes onto sleep mode, doesn't matter What time of the day it is......
Does anyone have had this problem before and is there any solution to it?
By default the background data is switched off. You can change it in the setting.

I bought a Sony Smartwatch one week ago and I am using it with an HTC One X. I installed Twitter and RSS on it. I configured both apps to sync every 15 minutes. I noticed that new tweets did not appear on my watch so I went to look what the problem was. I saw that the data connection was not active. I thought it was Juice Defender that did that so I disabled JD.
Tried again, still no luck. Data connection was gone again. I found the problem; it was the power saver mode from the One X that was activated. I deactivated it and the tweets started flowing in, and synching took place every 15 minutes without any problems at all. But... the battery of my One X was getting drained like crazy. So I had to turn off the data connection.
I've now been searching for days to find the most energy efficient way to still get new tweets on my watch every 15 minutes without having a dead battery after a few hours. What I basically need to find is a way for the One X to activate the data connection, sync all SmartWatch apps and then turn off the connection again.
I tried configuring Juice Defender to activate the data connection every 15 minutes for 1 minute. I thought that the SmartWatch app would synchronize as soon as Juice Defender would activate the data connection but this was not the case. Apparently the SmartWatch app tries to sync exactly every 15 minutes and when it fails, it doesn't wait for the data connection to get activated. It just gives up and waits another 15 minutes instead of waiting until there's an active data connection. That's quite lame actually, and I don't understand why Sony didn't think about that.
I don't have anymore ideas as to what I can do now... Anyone here who has the solution I'm looking for? I really like the watch and it would be awesome if I'd find a great solution to this problem I'm having. In the meantime, I'm just synching the apps manually on my phone every now and then.
Well the solution would be to have the data connection activate in the 14th minute, and drop in the 16th. You could also use Tasker, which could activate the data connection a few seconds before twitter updates, and end shortly after (maybe 15-30 seconds after it starts.)
Hello everyone;
I'm using a Moto G, with stock 4.4.2 Android. I don't have a data plan, so my carrier will charge me 1,20€ for 30 MB of mobile data traffic, should I use it. For this reason, and because I have wifi access at work and home, I keep mobile data off at all times.
Despite this, I have been charged twice, in three weeks, for mobile data, even though I have it turned off and wifi on at the time I'm being charged for it. Furthermore, the phone was idle on my desk when I was charged - I can tell because I got an SMS whenever I was charged for mobile data.
Has anyone experienced similar behavior? Is the 'off' switch trustworthy?
Thank you in advance
