Tapatalk data usage - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've installed Tapatalk recently and I've seen that it consumes a lot of data from my internet.
Any reason why is that? or is it ok?
Any suggestions to minimize the use of data using Tapatalk? Because I like the way you can see the forums and reply.
Thanks

Tapatalk is like a mobile browser for the forums. It's not weird to have important data consumption with this app if you often go to your favorite forums.
You can make a comparison between Tapatalk and XDA app.

I have this problem as well.. every time i go to XDA forum, it seems to download every picture from scratch without loading the cache.. It uses 10mb on every connection!

You can turn off image loading in Tapatalk preferences. That will decrease the data usage a bit.

Random restarts.

I get 1-2 reboots a day. A couple lock ups happen too. Anyone else? Is it normal?

It's definitely not normal. Try wiping fresh and installing only necessary apps then test again. If the issue persists trade it in for a new Infuse.

My wife and I both get it on our two new Infuses. Mine pretty much happens when I am browsing... It will lock up vibrate a few times and basically reboot... Pretty frustrating... And I don't think wiping it clean will help since this happen on both of our phones

Hmm...interesting....
Are you all rooted? Changed any apps? Made any tweaks or all stock?
I've had my Infuse for a week now and it's been great....no reboots of any kind. No real bugs to complain about, though I have noticed it can lag quite a bit when looking at mms'.

The vibrating is force closing. sounds like an app to me. did you and your wife both in stall the same apps? try factory rest on just one to test. BEWARE. take your external SD out. the facotry reset, wipes that too.

The vibration is a notification that you are running low in nemmoey and using too much. Check your apps it happens to me too only when I'm browsing and trying to open too much tabs

Ergh... no....
It was exactly word for word:

Wipe Data and Cache
Wipe Dalvik Cache
So you put a check mark to tell it to do so.... Been flash roms almost a year now since the captivate.... I would think to do how to do that

Problem with restarts had been referred to SD cards. It is not always relevant, as such behaviour used to happen even on card-free phones. My problems started just after update to Mango, what made phone practically unusable.
I tried and seems succesfully solved problem in following way:
- connect phone to Zune
- click on phone, then settings
- choose RESERVED SPACE position
- change with slider from default 1% to 20%
- apply, disconnect
My phone, with Micro SD, stopped crazy behaviour, f.ex. during making photo, using apps. So far so good.
So maybe, either Samsung or MS had screwed up default settings of phone and use of ROM/RAM upon processes.
Solution can be applicable to Focus S and Omnia 7 too.
Good luck!

Normally how much free RAM do you have while you aren't using any apps ? If its low then there could be some background apps that are using a big chunk of your RAM.
Hope this helps.

around 300mb is free

300MB free RAM is good enough to run most of the games, could you be more specific for which games are you facing problems ?
If you have a good amount of widgets & live wallpapers on the homescreen then first reduce them to the minimal, that'll help increase the available RAM.
AFAIR there's no way you can automatically kill the background apps on an unrooted handset but remember don't kill all thep background processes as not all are junk some are required.
Better get rooted or install a custom ROM by downloading from this forum & you'll be spared all the hassles.

Try this, but I do not think that will solve these problems.https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wxLDEsImNvbS5hcHBhbGwub3B0aW1pemF0aW9uYm94Il0.
Maybe not a problem in games and applications, install another launcher maybe your current launcher sets the problems..

[Q] [WTF?] Super battery drain?

I've been noticing in the battery stats that the phone is constantly awake when the screen is off. Des this happen to anyone else? I'm running the promethius rom and kernel 1.4(+) over v21e and I've never had a drain this bad with nothing running. Please help. Thanks!

This still happens to me today only if i touch the screen while i lock it. and as for battery, MoKee OS from TrekFan is the ROM you want if you want battery life. it looks alot like Cyanogenmod and i can go almost 2 and a half days on a full battery with general use. otherwise Charge your phone too 100%, boot into clockworkmod and wipe battery stats, see if that works out for you.
My phone doesn't even want to show when I have 100% but ill give mokee a try. Does it have echoes in pjobe calls? And when going through call logs and texts, does that show the contact or the contacts phone number?

only when you have speaker on, its based off of CyanogenMod so all the issues CM had MoKee will also have. and yeah it does but that you can change in all ROMs for a personal preference.

I don't use speaker too often so I'm fine and sweet! I just flashed to it. Do you know how to turn off the pop up when you receive a text? Also, I constantly get crashes from Google services framework and gapps or something. How do I fix that?

im not sure, i like having it on though, and to fix the crashes you need to wipe data and cache
Gah I wiped the data and cache. I guess data from titanium backup is causing something. I guess I'll try again
Sent from my LG-P920 using XDA
did you wipe Davlik too? and my guess is that Titanium backup is restoring your cache when you restore everything, which is why i dont use it. any apps i need to recover (battle.net authenticator) i just write down restore codes for it.
hi there i got questions about battery!
1) is normal a battery drain 1% for minute during web browsing in edge mode?
i had tried many roms and kernel... always same battery usage, also after calibration!
2) is normal a battery drain of 10-20-30 % (it changes all the time!) when i reeboot in recovery mode for change kernel or to install a theme?
if i change a rom it takes at least 50%...

I wipe everything but I restored everything but the thing that was screwing me up was calendar data. It's all good now! Some of my contacts only show as numbers even though they're saved.

why? the standard Kernel that comes with it is just fine... use V21a for O3D roms theres more of them and less issues. the only thing i like about the standard Thrill ones is that the connectivity is far better, but id rather have nice and stable, vs connection is good but glitchy.

If you are rooted you may try Tasker - it is slightly complicated to adjust, but will open up a whole new world of automated control of your device. You find it in the Play store, but it is not for free, though.

GO Power Manager/onavo
Though you mention that the app should toggle data etc.. but you have not mentioned the criteria for that.
I have two suggestions for two different needs :
1/ To save battery : I think "Go Power Manager" is very good for this. It has options to change device settings based on battery level/time/your one touch profile preference. You can create and save profiles and trigger them as per your needs.
2/ If you need to save cost by reducing the data consumed then you may use onavo. It monitors data consumption and cuts you off after a certain user define threshold.
Hope it helps.
I think his critria is only data connection to remain on for just 2min at every 20 min.
Time base trigger for data toggling will perfectly manage by phoneweaver.
Even he can set data off during sleeping time.

so i cleared my cache

So I cleared my cache the other day. I have pretty bad service at home and normally overnight i see my phone drop at least by 40% battery. Well last night it only dropped by 15%. In fact yesterday i made it 24 hours using only 50% battery.
Just coincidence ? Or real ?
Nope it's real gave me 10 hours more of battery

That's what happened to me also. On the first few days I was dropping battery like crazy at home. Now at home I'm on wifi but my 4G signal is crap upstairs, and in the basement I'm constantly flipping between 3G and 1X. Normally I don't care because wifi for data and I use gVoice for calls here, but it did seem related to battery drain. Clearing the cache (and in my case also a factory reset), combined with turning on Advanced Calling seemed to do the trick. Now it's much more reasonable.
this is a known workaround that works on most S6s...it didn't work on my original but it did on my replacement. See the battery life thread...
