why does inspire use so much data?

Check this out. Before I got my inspire I used a captivate and iPhone 4 and usually used about 3-4 gb of data per month. So I go buy the inspire off contract and I swear in the 2 months of use I went from 3-4 gb, to 6 gb, to a whopping 12 gb last month. So far this month with 19 days left in billing cycle I've used 7.7 gb. I've swapped the phone. I rarely tether, maybe 1 a week for 10 minutes. I don't have Pandora installed either. ATT said not to worry about it since I have unlimited data and they knew that I wasn't tethering but I'm just curious as to what's going on? I drive all day and mainly surf the web on the phone.

maybe something you installed? i don't tether, but i pandora and mspot and use around 500 meg per month. i tend to stay on wireless at work and at home and only 'stream' when in the car or at other people's homes.

What apps did you have installed?
I've used a 1gb this month (vs <500mb) but I've swapped phones (from Atrix to Inspire) so I'm not sure if some of it was downloading all the apps twice. But I did watch some music videos in HD so that could be more likely. On the Vevo app I think.

Holy ****. I never even come close to my 2 gb limit and i run a lot while streaming my itunes lib to ny phone with audiogalaxy.
I'm always on WiFi at mmy house and my girlfriends house

You could download OS monitor and see which apps are running in the background. Background apps could be causing your data usage to go up.
MIUI Inspire 4G

Only apps I have installed are angry birds and angry birds Rio, my ATT wireless, and that's pretty much it. I have no idea. I'm lost.

Unfortunately, in the end, it's a smartphone. A large amount of data is going to be consumed, but there are many applications that can limit the amount of data you use by setting a cap.
Just checked my AT&T bill prior to reading this thread and I have a 4.7 GB total. Ridiculous, I know. I don't stream mad YouTube videos, mainly just push e-mail and read a large amount of news feeds. Thank god for my old unlimited iPhone plan

are you using Moxier mail v2.8.2? i notice the data up/down arrows keep flashing non-stop 24/7! after i upgraded to v2.9.2, it fixed the problem.

Are you using a Sense ROM?
MIUI Inspire 4G

I just started using roms less than a month ago. This phone is just a data hog. To netnerd, my H+ actually doesn't stream unless I'm on the net. As long as ATT doesn't give me a problem I'm cool. They did offer to try a different phone and see if it has any affect.

Sense social networking can use a ton of data.

The HTC sense account can use a massive amount of data. Remove it if you don't mind losing the find your phone feature.

I remember when they first started talking about capping data plans last year, I checked my data usage on my iPhone 3GS and I was pushing 2gb a month; figured out that I was using most of it by streaming Pandora over my 3g about 5 nights a week while I slept. I've since switched over to Wifi at night. Just checked my Inspire usage, and I've used 384MB with 4 days left in my billing cycle. I haven't been streaming much music or video over it, though.

I got the Inspire the weekend it came out. Waited about a month before I rooted the thing, since then I've been flashing left and right; usually I'm working with my Wifi at home, though.
I had issues after I tried my first custom ROM with battery drain issues; once it even cooked itself dead sitting in my pocket over about 2 hours. I think it was trying to auto-sync while I was in an area with just enough signal to show a connection, but not enough to move data, I was showing like 1/2 a bar signal. I bet it spent the battery trying to auto-sync the entire time. Makes me wonder how much data is being moved with Friendstream and other apps when it has all the signal it wants.

If this is your first HTC smartphone, be very careful of how you setup your HTC Sync settings. From your phone, select Menu -> Settings -> Accounts & Sync. Check to see if your "Auto-sync" checkbox is checked or unchecked. If it's checked, you may want to uncheck that. HTC Sync can chew through data if you let it. Also, just make sure you don't have email/apps set to push (like email) that you don't mind manually updating. When web browsing, setup your browser to display Flash on-demand, rather than load content that you don't really need. Check your GPS settings, also.

You can uncheck that box if you want, but if you open up the Android Market, the Market app will prompt you to enable background data in order to continue, even if you're on Wi-Fi. You can always check the box to allow the data, do your downloading/updating of apps, then close the Market and uncheck the box again if you want.

What do we need 4G for yet?

Now don’t laugh... It’s a valid question. I am all about speed. I have a 6 core CPU in my PC that is totally useless but makes me feel good. I get that.
But I honestly don’t see what I need faster network speeds on my phone for... Everything I do is fast. I am never like... "Come on load!!" on my phone... So why would I sacrifice battery life for internet speed I don’t use or need?
I understand if you are using your phone as a wireless hotspot you would want that speed. But what else? Can you guys even suggest things I could try on my phone that would make me want faster speeds? We don’t have Netflix yet but maybe that is one. But movies can buffer and from what I understand they will play smooth on 3G with no problems.
So what is it? You just want the speed because it’s there? Again if that’s it I get that!
But what are actually apps or usages that you can experience a difference. Because right now nothing I do seems to have a speed issue on 3G.

Let me follow that long winded post up with something straight to the point…
Seems like 99.9% of what I do on my phone is power critical (meaning I want to be able to do all of it as long as I can without charging) and not internet speed critical at all. So why would I ever turn 4G on?
Wow those facebook pics loaded in .2 seconds instead of .8 seconds. Good thing even though I’m only going to be able to browse facebook for 2.5 hours instead of 8 to get that difference!

I am also interested to see in what people can make up.

Well I live in the middle of no where and can't get good internet so I will be using 4G LTE to tether as soon as the towers are put up which should be soon since it's announced.

That's cool and is a valid reason. But will still be a total pain in the ass. You will soon just want a 4G usb aircard or seperate MIFI device... Trying to use your phone as your sole internet connection sucks.

I'd like to try to use 4G as much as I can because I am using the TB as a videophone so I can talk with my Deaf clients and also be able to access sign language interpreters while placing phone calls to hard of hearing clients and hearing vendors. The minimum requirement I found for smooth video and audio seems to be two signal bars in 3G. 4G or at least two WiFi "waves" is preferred.

re
Tethering with 4g is awesome when you cant get on wifi.
Video playback on 4g is fast and you can also watch higher quality videos.
Downloading apps and whatnot is lightning fast.
I have had pda type phones for the last 8 years, the thunder bolt speed is awesome.
That being said..
Dont be a moron and leave the 4g on if you dont care about 4g speeds. Save your fricking battery and turn 4g off.

Latency seems better overall on LTE versus the normal 3G CDMA, which means something if you care about how fast you get your data from the internet.
On an unrelated note, I would love to have a 6 core cpu, so I could use the extra cores for virtual machines or compiling and the rest for normal stuff, so there are indeed uses for things that seems "useless."

re
I just had a lol moment..
I thought i might try and run vm server and load up 2008 server and a vm client machine.
FYI dont do what i did.. Load it up on a laptop with only 4gb of ram and a slow 5400rpm hard drive.

Just in case everyone forgot. Come may 15th wireless tether will be a payer and tiered feature. When your using 4g on your computer you will use that up real quick. Unless you use wireless tether for root users but that is becoming somewhat of a risk nowadays since Verizon isn't raking in enough money yet.

Hulu. Watching all youtube vids in HD. Open up future video streaming apps. Online multiplayer games. It's not just a speed increase but you will also get voice and data the same time. I don't have a desktop computer at home so I do all my computer needs on my cellular. 85% of the things I do on my phone is data related. Also if you think about it whenever verizon gets all the bugs out on there 4G network it could save on battery life. Now hear me out I think the lesser time your downloading or uploading the less strain it will be on your battery. As opposed to same processing but slower speeds meaning more time consuming battery (longer download and upload time) because that's what is really killing the battery is battery consumption via data. Idk just thinking.

Same as above
I watch YouTube vids in high quality mode all the time. Virtually impossible without 4g.
Also Google maps loads way quick... Which is the one thing I hate waiting on.

Not to be a jerk or anything but I watch YouTube videos in HD on 3g. I get 2.5kb down and can watch entire videos without a hitch.
Although an entire hulu video may be a different story. I am able to watch entire hockey games in high quality with the nhl app.

I can do hq youtube on 3g with no problems. I love the 4g when I am using the slingbox though. I could never put it in hq over 3g so that is nice. I also download all my cds right from my phone so its nice to have them in 2 min instead of 20.
Also streaming music from the amazon cloud is much nicer on 4g

Same. With how the phone is built you can talk and surf in 3g or 4g on this phone. Its one of the TB's major plusses.

It's probably just me, but I find it funny that you guys all can do things immediately on 3g, I find major waiting times. Even in the best signal places where I get 1-2mbps down I still have to wait 5-20 seconds for my droid 2 global to load a page, it is a pain.
For example, right now I am in my dorm in Burlington, VT, my phone has a signal between -68 and 70dbm at 0 asu, and the current speedtest.net app shows .65-.7mbps down and .63-.65 up. Not great speeds, but within what 3g is supposed to be, and if I want to watch a high quality youtube video, I go to the youtube app, count that it takes 14 seconds to load, I am doing this right now. Click the new ray william johnson video, and it takes 24 seconds to start, then 1:02 into the video it freezes for 43 more seconds. At this point I deem 3g unuseable for youtube videos. When I am getting super awesome over 1mbps speeds then I usually only wait 5-10 seconds and it doesn't freeze, usually, but still 3g can very often and for a large number of people be slow. Similarly web pages take a while to load too, I mean sure if I load the mobile version of a webpage it is fairly fast, 4-5 second waits usually, but for those sites without mobile pages or where mobile pages are too limiting, it can take forever to load, I constantly have to look away from my phone for 20 or more seconds then look back to still see it loading. I imagine 4g would run at a minimum of 3mbps even if it was way way over used and signal was bad, so for me that is why 4g makes sense.
Also the thunderbolt is the first 4g lte phone for verizon, clearly there are still issues to work out and battery useage can be made significantly better, I don't see the current power use of 4g as an indicator of power use a year or 2 down the line.

I asked this same question once and got ridiculed for it. I think perhaps in the future we'll need more speed on our cell network but right now I get all the speed I need off of wifi at work or home. I would love to see some innovations in faster processors without compromising any battery life. Or I'd love to see them develop better batteries. I like 4G but I hope we see faster phones with better batteries before anyone even mentions 5G.

[Q] T-Mobile 4g signal takes awhile to kick in

I just got my Sensation 4g from Walmart. It is on HSPA+ on T-Mobile and when trying to open a web site or sync Facebook or use any kind of data for that matter it is slow to connect if it even connects at all. I then have to hit refresh a few times before it actually kicks in. Is anyone having any similar issues? I had a myTouch4g previously and never experienced this.

i noticed that also with mines.. even when it dies get a bit fast it is still just a tad faster than what my nexus s was. I live in Orlando, one of tmo's supposid biggest 4g markets

I've also noticed the same thing.

Same thing here. Did a speed test and it says I am only getting 573 kbps download and 217 kbps upload
I had dial-up that's faster than that lol
EDIT: Tried running the test again, and I keep getting a network connection error, and it won't even run the test. but I got 4 bars. Wtf?

Its not that my speeds are that slow its like it takes forever to start going. Its annoying because the first time it never works right away. Has anyone been able to find a fix? It reminds me of my Nexus. If this continues I definititly cant keep this phone. A radio update might be the only fix

I'm thinking HTC could fix a lot of their issues with an update. Include a radio update, a software update for the touchscreen problems, and unlock the bootloader, all in one package hopefully

We soups should report this on their fb page

Samsung introduced a new feature on the SGS2 called "Fast Dormancy." It's a battery saving feature that disconnects data when not active. It might be a feature in 2.3 and HTC might have enabled it too. Maybe you guys can find the toggle.

There are a couple of reasons I don't believe it's a coverage issue. Mainly, I'm within 200 yds of a tower. When data is working, it's really strong. If the signal were weak, I can't imagine getting 9 Mbps download speeds. The speeds would be consistently poor rather than excellent one minute and not working at all the next. Also, nobody else in the area with a TMO 4G phone is having this issue.

[Q] USA/Tmob Users speed?

Hey everyone, I am going nuts with skype not working like it did on my old HTC Leo and thought I would ask everyone this.
I know why skype craps out for me, the download speed is good but the upload I get is around 10kbs. Now my old 3g leo could skype like a champ and I often used it that way, but now with the one S I can't seem to do it. I assume its the awful upload speed issue but I am in Naperville IL myself and can't see why I get fast download but the upload speed seems to be crap or will burst for a moment and then just stop.
Could anyone else let me know if it's a problem or do a speed test for me so I know if it's just me or what?

I live in Denver area, and these are my speeds. It does appear that it may just be something with your area, but I'm not sure.

At my house I'm about 8-11 Mbps constant down with 3-4 Mbps up.

Wifi calling

I was wondering how many people actually use wifi calling? I personally do not always had dropped call issues even stock unrooted. I ask this cuz I read that milestone 6 build 2 has removed to increase Wi-Fi stability. If that's the case maybe it could be excluded from builds till we get another kernal

I use is very frequently at home because I don't get very good coverage. I have problems with drops on it, though. I get "Wifi signal lost. Call dropped." but never really took the time to look into the issue, though, due to lack of time.

I also use it a lot at home, because T-Mo's signal is very weak inside our condo. Obviously, my wifi signal is very strong when I'm sitting in the same room as the router, so I don't have issues with dropped calls on wifi.

I'm actually near my router when it happens. I have a repeater across the house (with line of sight to the main router) so that I have really good coverage. I don't know if my problem is potentially the router & repeater dropping the call when they re-handshake, if it's my router (it's a tad old) doing something stupid, or if it's a T-Mobile issue. It is potentially a combination.

This was discussed the other night in irc. Bhundven stated we will never get wifi calling on the ics roms. There is libs that cant be ported in to the builds. Im sure somebody will come along and say otherwise but until they can prove him and m4xm4n wrong Im going to figure this is fact and not bug them about it.
Like I said in the other thread there is two options, but I forgot about the third so actually its three.
1. Use something like grooveip and forward calls to your google number.
2. Stick with stock based roms.
3 Put a bounty up get enough people donating and we might get other devs interested in helping out to find a way to make it work.
I dont think it will happen but who knows.

i was just interested to see how many people actually use this service, i would of just added a poll to it but could find that option. If you read the OP I stated that i read that it was removed from kernal to increase wi-fi stability. My point is that if removing this from roms until a fix is found, would many people really care. If it increases my wi-fi by removing this im all for that no matter what rom i am running, and if not many members use it i'd say keep it gone. This is just my opinion

For those with limited minutes, that's still not always the issue - most Tmo plans (with a couple exceptions) still count wifi calling against your minutes. It's purely a matter of reception and/or clarity. Tmo decided not to support femtocell (personal cell tower) solutions in favor of wifi calling to cover dead spots.
Likewise, it's not always a matter of being in the middle of nowhere. I'm in a large city, my office is a quarter mile from a tower, but reception inside is spotty due to thick, reinforced walls. My apartment is on a basement level, with no signal whatsoever. Without wifi calling, I'm stuck on stock derived roms for the time being. I'm considering GrooveIP, as I've used my gVoice number for everything for years, but have reliability and memory use concerns about going that route.
All that said, I can also understand perfectly well why it's not supported on the current CM roms, and why it is unlikely to be supported any time in the near future. I appreciate the work that's gone into them, and hope sometime soon I'll have a chance to try them out.

A series of tubes

For a minute I thought Erikmm's miui 2.0 was giving me wifi calling, but discovered after a day of missed calls that it does not. So, I fall back to Raver's Val Black for my daily (using miui home launcher for the eye candy) and flash new stuff, like erikmm and dao, on the weekends, just to play. Slight pain in the butt moving back to V Black each Sunday night, but it's worth it.

For those with limited minutes, that's still not always the issue - most Tmo plans (with a couple exceptions) still count wifi calling against your minutes. It's purely a matter of reception and/or clarity. Tmo decided not to support femtocell (personal cell tower) solutions in favor of wifi calling to cover dead spots.
Likewise, it's not always a matter of being in the middle of nowhere. I'm in a large city, my office is a quarter mile from a tower, but reception inside is spotty due to thick, reinforced walls. My apartment is on a basement level, with no signal whatsoever. Without wifi calling, I'm stuck on stock derived roms for the time being. I'm considering GrooveIP, as I've used my gVoice number for everything for years, but have reliability and memory use concerns about going that route.
All that said, I can also understand perfectly well why it's not supported on the current CM roms, and why it is unlikely to be supported any time in the near future. I appreciate the work that's gone into them, and hope sometime soon I'll have a chance to try them out.
