Hi Team,
Is there any way we can control the speed of GPRS Data Speed , let say some 2kbps like that ?
I know its funny as GPRS itself is slow and why am i wanted to reduce its speed even lower. I got some idea in my mind to reduce battery drain.
Using Tasker I have achieved to control per application 3G Mode (WCDMA only) when they are active, and rest all the time phone will be 2G Mode(GSM Only)(mainly when phone is in locked state). I know the chat application would do background connect and prob for new data, at this time, if I can control the data flowto its minimum, I feel it will reduce the batter drain little more.
is there any way to active this speed control on Android with some application or tweak ?
Cheers,
Kirankumar.

What are the apps you are using? Some apps use GCM/C2DM (Google's push notification service) or store your chat messages online (Viber, Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp,...). As long as apps have this, you don't have to stay online to get messages.
If you still want to do that, IMO reducing speed isn't neccessary. Let's imagine, an apps send 100KB data in 10 seconds is better than in 200 seconds.

Hi,
As you can see im pretty new to the polaris and i have been seeking a few answer for a few hours and can't seem to find an answer to a few of them,
So i hope some of you might be able to answer these for me.
1) I would only like to use internet through WIFI, so to prevent a huge phone bill i would like to disable gprs (this is the only internet option next to wifi right?)
I tried an application called NoData but it crashes on startup.
2) These are spb shell related: With spb 3 my phone doesn't go into standby (the screen turns off to save battery) also my scroll bars don't function anymore (this doesn't really bother me though)
3) Speed and memory, will using less memory speed up my device? As i see it memory will only reduce performance when it really low (usually i am at 50% usage)
Thanks allot for reading.
1) Advanced Config from here http://www.touchxperience.com/en/advanced-configuration-tool/downloads.html
Go to menu => more settings => connections Then disable the ones you dont want (all in your case)
2) No idea whats going on there sorry
3) Less memory used will mean faster. The main thing that slows it down is background applications running (using memory and cpu). So if you dont need something open then shut it. Thats pretty much it.
Hope its helpful!
menu => more settings => connections is empty does that mean i safe from huge bills?
The thing with my memory i have nothing running and i am at 50% so i was thinking of possibly switching to a light rom if that would matter (I just like the tools full comes with)
Thanks for your answers!

See above link. The tiny program "No Data" does what you seek.

Hmmm... there could be a bit of problem... I'm connecting trough all types of connection: EDGE, GPRS, HSDPA, WiFi...
Altough, I'm not sure does EDGE connection work if you don't have data plan...

If you read my post, you would see i tried No Data but it crashes when i start it Nullrefence exception.
Maybe i could just ask this, i like the idea of footprint when i start it asks if it can use google location service.
Now from working with this i know that google can either query using CellID (which is free) or using the internet well i don't really want to use internet for every footprint or every weather update that is not wifi you see
If there are no connections then i would say that you cannot connect to whatever mobile internet point. If you dont mind having a small charge try it once and see then you can be sure that it will not have an unwanted connection.
On the front of light vs full probably a little difference but really there wont be huge differences i think.
@Bodisson yeh edge will still work without a data plan but it will eat your money for breakfast

You where right, i tried to weather update nothing, i tried footprints and then to connect to googlemaps it crashed.
Guess im safe
Hi guys,
I hope you can help me with this problem.
I have an HTC Desire phone with Android froyo system version.
I would like to know if there any option to control which application get access to the internet via wifi and which via 3g DATA?
I have low amount of 3g network plan (30 Mb) and i have widgets and programs that updating constantly.
when i'm connected via wifi it's does not bother me but when i'm off the wifi network and i need internet access for surfing, waze or other small things, the other widgets are hogging my 30 Mb very fast.
i'm afraid that unlike the situation with my Nokia N97, with the desire my 3g plan will not be enough for the all month.
i'm using toggle data widget that helps me to control when and for how much time the 3g network is up.
as i've mentioned my previous phone was Nokia N97 and even though it was a useless piece of plastic I could control this option.
with the desire it seems that the 3g internet dreins my battary and eating my 30 Mb plan.
and another thing, is anyone experiencing problems with waze?
it worked fine on N97, but the desire crushing down with it and sometimes it take me 15 minutes to find gps signal.
thank you for the answers.
rel.
Welcome.
There's an app called TrafficStat that may be useful to you http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.trafficstats
Also, at least on my EVO, you can shut off the the 3G/4G data by holding power and tapping Mobile network.
Post back when you find something that works.
Good luck!

DroidWall also allows you to limit app access to wifi/3g. Not sure if it works with froyo though?
Anyone know of an app that monitors individual apps net connect? I use 3g Watchdog but would like to know what apps are using the net and how much?
thanks

I've noticed my Android phone is gobbling data a lot faster than my Blackberry ever did. I'd like to know what's eating it as well.
I know the Blackberry is a lesser experience, but I've burned through half of my data cap in a week.
I've now resorted to just disabling data unless I need to use it, but it would be nice to know if there is one app, or a few apps that are chewing through it that I don't need to be running.
"Phone Usage" is what you should be looking for in android market! Droidwall is another app that will allow you to explicitly enable/disable certain apps from accessing data on your phone!
Try spare parts, there's a battery management option that'll show you data usage, gps usage, partial wake lock and cpu usage. if it shows a UID in place of the app you just need a app identifier to tell you what that uid is.
Biggest thing I found using it was dolphin browser had a huge data leak even after closing it through exit causing massive battery loss on my phone

Droidwall requires root access though. I am trying Phone Usage now next to Network Monitor (which does not monitor seperate apps) cause I am wondering if Network Monitor catches everything (Provider says I am using more...)

Ugh..I meant to "quote" you and accidently "thanked" you. So..thanks?
Anyways, I have PhoneUsage, which is useful for showing how the data is spread across your phone, and shows the top apps. However, I don't think it shows individual apps..only the top hogs.
3g watchdog PRO does monitor individual apps also. This is one of the extra features on the pro version

You can also try ZDBox.

Thanks for all the replies. Now to track down the source of my issues.

this might be useful. Although it's more on applications that are not closed properly or running on its own..
You can identify the problem by looking at your CPU usage.. if you have application showing and the cpu is high. probably, the problem lies on the program.

Hello. I am also looking for an app that monitors individual installed app network usage (3G or WiFi) in a real time sense (graphically or text based).
There are several utilities that monitor apps individually (3g Watchdog, Network Counter, NetworkTraffic Stats, OS Monitor) but nothing I've found offers a real time showing of individual apps the way that some apps show real time network usage of the OS.
Some show hourly tracking and some will refresh and show slight changes, but for real time tracking purposes (what the heck is consistently sending data *right now*), these are not as helpful.
Some background: for the past few days, my Vibrant would only get 3-4 hours of uptime, way down from the 8-12 I'm used to. I then noticed that my 3G connectivity was always on in both directions and I wanted to know exactly which app(s) was constantly transmitting. With the hourly monitoring, I had to wait, and I might have missed it. With the constant refreshing utility, the changes were so miniscule and not sorted by actively transmitting apps that it was counter productive to search that way.
Again, I'm not looking for one of the many utilities than do real time monitoring of the total network traffic, but real time network monitoring of the individual apps.
If anyone knows of any app that can do this, assistance would be really appreciated.
Thank you!
hi , i'm currently running a zte blade (rom 2.3.4) great little phone , but i'm finding the bulit in sip application heavy going on the battery.
I'm happy to buy another phone or a cheap older 2nd phone , but what in peoples experinces have been the most reliable smart phone for sip connection (incoming calls) and battery efficient , or is there a very battery efficient app for andrioid that wont drain my battery on 3g or wifi quickly ?
i'm finding on wifi i lose around 5 percent a hour when setup for incoming sip calls , and around 12% a hour when setup for incoming on 3g.....
i run my sipgate connection through pbxes.org which i'm told should make things a bit more efficent , does this mean i can lose the stay alive connection ? would this save battery if i lenghten the time on this ?
Help and advice most welcomed
Hello everyone,
I own a Nexus 4 and I have just gave a try to AutomateIt (FREE) app and everything went ok. I like it, it's really powerful and easy to use. So I decided I need AND/OR logic to link multiple triggers, but that requires the full version (PRO) so I installed the full version. The main problem with it is while in background/foreground, it sucks the whole internet in less the few hours. I don't know what it downloads but the network usage is about 100MB in less than a day, no matter if it is in background or foreground.
Is there anyone who found a reason/solution for a similar issue?
I know, the solution would be to restrict background data. Still, on WiFi will drain my battery and network usage keeps high itself.
Thanks.
I have the exact same problem! For now I disabled background data. Before that it drained battery big time.

Hi,
Are you sur that's a legal pro version ?
Put a firewall and do not allow AutomateIt to access the internet. It does not need internet access to work, unless you really want to download any of the "ready" solutions. I use Android Firewall: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jtschohl.androidfirewall
