Hi all,
been using the google maps app that comes with the HD2 a lot, but suddenly it won't load using mobile internet anymore.
It works fine over wifi, but it seems it doesn't want to use my dataplan anymore.
It doesn't matter whether i have 2g, 3g or hdspa connection, it just hangs on 'loading' or 'searching'.
I checked the connection with opera and it works fine, can load any webpage pretty fast.
What can i do to fix it? is there a way to reinstall it? I don't have a cab because it came installed on my HD2.
edit: after a soft reset it won't even load over wifi anymore!
Edit2: hmm, after another soft reset it will load over wifi again but still nothing over mobile connection
get the newest version from here mate, just install and it will delete you're previous version

Same problem here in Rotterdam. Was wondering what could be the problem, but since other people seem to have the same problem, it more than likely is the connection to T-Mobile's network again.....
As is the case with you, WiFi connection allows to start up Google Maps properly, however as soon as mobile network is used, Maps no longer works because of lack of connection to the network....

new version has the same problem
i read online that it may have to do with proxy settings but have not been able to resolve the issue
also, the guy at the t-mobile store was less than usefull (big supprise there)
I just spoke with the t-mobile helpdesk and they are already aware of the problem.
They told me it is a problem with the google server's connectivity and that some ppl can't even synchronise their gmail or other google services (haven't had that problem myself)
They're looking in to it so hopefully it won't take too long
Someone at T-Mobile has earned his/her salary this month: it's working again....
hey folks,
I've been trying around to get a tool working which does count my internet stats.
I've already tried the following ones:
- netcounter
- 3g watchdog
- stats free
- traffic monitor
My device is a galaxy tab 10.1 p7500 (3G) latest stock firmware. rooted + cwm (no custom rom). Does someone else has a similar problem? It's counting Wifi data but not mobile ones. it's not displayed as zero but something like 68KB and I watched videos (connected to mobile data, yes! ) and run varios other applications with internet connection required such as mail, facebook, etc.
Thanks for your support
hey guys,
nobody else having this problem? It wouldn't matter that much at the moment but my internet flat is limited to 300MB HSDPA, afterwards GPRS/EDGE ... so I would like to have an overview about how much data I have used.
Would appreciate if anybody could help me out and let me know if I should test some stuff.
thx a lot
I have a unlimited plan, so i have not tried using counters, but i will try it for you.
EDIT: I tried 3G Watchdog and you are right, it doesn't work. So it seems that data counters are not compatible.
I have another problem, on my device it seems that the signal strength display in asu is stuck at 4. DBm seems to show the correct value but asu shows always 4. Can you please check what yours shows?
thanks for your reply.
same for me. dBm changes but asu shows always '4'.
on my DHD asu is changing nearly everytime. same for the galaxy tab 7" with android 2.3.3 of a colleague, asu is changing and also counters are working.
have you tried installing and using netcounter or something similar on your device?

Thanks for the info, i'm glad to hear that it's not a problem with my tab (or at least i'm not the only one with this problem). Hope it can be fixed with a future software update.
No i haven't tried any other data counter apps, but if 3g watchdog doesn't work, i'm sure none will work. This is either a problem with Honeycomb or Samsung modifications. I'm going to try and search and find out if any other people with other HC tablets have had such problems.
I have the verizon model and used 3g watchdog but now switched over to verizons app. Both worked for me and are pretty accurate when compared to my bill. Just sucks i dont have unlimited.
Tried 3gwatchdog and it was not counting... will email the dev.

that would be awesome to have a fix for that!
also found a german blog entry yesterday that it's a known problem but there is no fix yet
if someone can read german:
http://www.android-hilfe.de/1437639-post1.html
I searced a little, it seems these apps work on Xoom, so it can't be a Honeycomb problem. I found people are having problems only with European GT10.1 and GT10.1V, so it seems to be Samsung specific problem.
In 3G watchdog there is the option in settings to "Use pre-Froyo traffic counting interface"

already tried that, will not help!
would be really nice to have a fix for that because even there may be users which do not have a mobile data limit ... there may be some that have one
same here. cell data not counting. using traffic counter pro. maybe the incorrect interface have been selected. couldnt fi d the correct one yet.
Same here. Let me know if anyone has a option. It is not fun browsing in the dark (not knowing where my data plan is)
Will a custom ROM solve this maybe?

Seo fixed it over in the Galaxy Tab 10.1 V section.
To bad that he has the V version and not the normal.. he is a great developer..

try data counter widget. Works great for me
same problem here with 3g monitoring on my P7510
Hey, everyone. Using your AMAZING n00b guide and overall lurking of this website for several months since January I've done quite a few awesome things with this phone. Currently I am running Cyanogen Mod 7.1.0-Ba2tF-Olympus (any further information how I got there can be provided if necessary). I'm having a slight issue though. I've noticed that sometimes I'll randomly have no data or cellular service what-so-ever. To gain access to data and cellular service at that point I will then have to restart the phone, wait for it to boot, turn on WiFi, wait for that to connect, use an application like Browser or Facebook to test connectivity, if data transmits then I'm good, then AND ONLY after I go through all that can I disable WiFi and connect through regular data and cellular channels. I was wondering if this has happened to any of you and if anyone had any idea on how to fix it?
If you need clarification I'd be more than happy to try and sort my explanation out for you.
Thank you all in advance and I hope to hear from you soon!
Hello,
Did your APN settings are good ?
You can found it there : Setting / networks / Mobile Networks / Access Point Name.
Where are you from, what is your carrier ?
Regards.
I am thinking you need to flash a new radio.
Hi all,
Is it possible that my WIFI usage somehow faultily gets counted as data usage(3G), in any android device, particularly in Galaxy S2 I900?
I know it sounds silly, but here's what happened:
I just got 3G activated yesterday.
Through WIFI i downloaded about 600+ MB of data (Sygic)
Through 3G I browsed 2-3 small YouTube videos.
Today when i contacted my carrier (Vodafone India), They say my data usage is about 700 MB in last 2 days. That looks like my WIFI + 3G usage.
Hence this doubt.
Does anyone know of anything like this happening before?
Also, is there any way I can analyze my data usage for the past 3 days?
Now I have learnt my lesson and installed MyDataManager from android market, but it can only analyze data usage from the day of it's installation. Is there any other way I can analyze previous data usage?
PS: I swear I did the download through WIFI. I could see the WIFI signal strength indicator in my status bar. Neither the e(edge) nor the H(hsdpa) was seen.
Please help.
Thanks.
Network cannot charge for data downloaded over WiFi they do not know what WiFi you used . WiFi and network data re separate components .
You made a mistake and did not use WiFi but mobile data .
WiFi signal on and Data in use .

Sorry, im pretty sure i used WIFI.
That's the reason im asking, is it possible that due to some fault in the device, it will somehow log the data downloaded through WIFI as 3G data, because unless there is some fault at the device's end, the network couldn't even know of our WIFI usage.
Also would it be possible that the device does an auto switch from WIFI to carrier data (due to any reason like weak WIFI signal strength) and fails to reflet this on the notification bar(still shows as WIFI on the bar)?
Has anything like this happened to anyone? I just want to cross check before I contact my carrier further. Anyways once i get my connection logs from carrier, it should show the server from which data was downloaded and that should make it clear.
>> WIFI signal on and data in use.
Is this possible? Doesn't the device switch to WIFI whenever its on? I thought WIFI takes priority over data by default
Pretty sure yep thousands if not millions say that when they get a big bill from the network . Network measures data at source and charges they dont get the data from your phone and charge you .

Is it possible that the phone shows as WIFI on the notification bar while it is actually using carrier data?
I don't have any issues paying the bill if i have done the usage. I just want to analyze what happened here so that it won't repeat again.
I am pretty sure the notification bar had only the WIFI symbol and not the data indicator. since i had 3G activated recently, i was very conscious about it and watching it quite frequently.
Also previously i had similar over billing issues with my carrier and they promptly gave a reimbursement upon thorough analysis of the situation. so carrier mistakes isn't also something unusual.
I don't know how old your signature is but if you are running ICS rom then you can use built-in data usage monitor (in settings) to verify the volume of data used.
Installed Data usage monitor

The signature is update to date mate.
I don't have a build in data usage monitor, but I have installed one from the market - My Data Manager
Resolved

After much analysis and discussions with the carrier, I have finally found out the issue.
As pointed out by jje, the usage has actually happened at my end.
The WIFI had become unavailable many times in between the download, and the download had switched to carrier data.
To avoid any such occurrences again, and to help people manage their data usage better, I have compiled a simple list of best practices here:

Download 3G watchdog
Hey buddy! a great app to keep watch of your 3g plan is 3g watchdog, it advices you when your plan is getting low on data, and its also very useful and user friendly, there is also a paid version with more features
Market: 3G watchdog
Also Onavo count is useful too!
Market: Onavo Count

Thanks mate... I have tried 3G watch dog and many more apps.
I find My Data Manager more likable.
It's simple, free and has all the same functionality - it notifies when ur usage is reaching threshold.
One good thing about it is that it stays cleanly in the notification area. When you pull down your notification bar, you can see it there, it shows 2 horizontal progress bars indicating 3G usage and WIFI usage each. It also shows number of days left in your bill cycle.
Pretty handy

I recived the phone saying that if I have problem with the setting text AXTIVE TO 2020 o2 service. Ok I have done it and I got wap on it but after using it for 15 min wap gone. I had to turn off and in the phone. At home I had a wifi connection after 20 min it has gone. Then I got angry I have done a factory reset for s2 (I got it for the phone from 02) and after I didn't have wap so I had to text ACTIVE to 02 and had wap but having same problem. So I have questioned my self does this phone has other problem is well? How can I check it? How can I resolve this problem.
Is english your native language? I am still not fully understanding what the problem is...
Are you having issues connecting to your wifi at home, school, or work?
Are you having cellular data issues?
Im also not familiar with what texting "Active" to 02 is about. Im sorry but you really need to calm down a little, understand that we can and will try to help but you really have to give us a more detailed look into what is going on.
Remember, we are not there, we do not see what you see, hear what you hear, or know what you know. you have to tell us.
English clearly isn't his native language.
But, what he is trying to say is that he seems to having connectivity issues with both wifi at home and when connected to mobile data. When he texts "ACTIVE" to the 02 help line number, it restores his connection but only for around 15 minutes before it drops off again.
As for the problem, I have no idea. I would return the phone to 02 and ask for a replacement.
Yes I'm Hungarian. what I tried to say is that I am able to use the wap net work and wifi but it keep droping me out from the service. So after 15/20min restart he phone and again I have internet. I don't know why? AlsoI don't know if there is any other problem on the phone can I get a program what is run a test on it and repair the problems?
Not sure what your problem is, but if you have the mobile data connection active (the signal bars at the top of the screen show a G or 3G or H or E) and then switch on WiFi. If WiFi makes a connection to a wireless device, then the phone temporally disables the mobile data connection. If you disconnect your WiFi connection, then the mobile data connection becomes active again.
Even if the WiFi has connection to a wireless device, the device may not let them have access to the internet. So even though you have mobile data connection on, you won't be able to connect to the internet.
Switch off the WiFi and just test the mobile data connection. If that is fine, then you need to look at what the WiFi is connecting to. If it is not fine, then you need to find the mobile data connection settings for you phone network.
