In 1.6 I could look up my data usage. How do you do it in 2.2 or have I just forgotten?
Data Counter Widget?
Have you tried Data Counter Widget?
I don't know how else to do it by a method other than an application or widget, but that widget is free and works really well.

Hi,
I'm trying to get am alternative calendar app for the x10 mini. Mine doesn't handle alerts correctly (can't find a way to dismiss/snooze) and it has limited options.
Try Jorte from market
Using it now, thanks!
Hi,
I have learnt that calendar crashes can be solved by clearing the calendar app's cache.
New problems:
I have loaded 5 different calendars from my Gmail. How come all of them are represented by pink colour? I'd like different colours for each calendar, as in Gmail and as the old calendar app allowed. Can't find any menu for this setting.
The phone no longer displays all entries from the Gmail calendars. All my calendar is there, as some upcoming entries are shown. I can't figure out why other upcoming entries are left out.
I hope someone can help.
I have the same issue. (About pink color)

I'm not entirely sure if it's the SE layer ontop of the stock apps, but obviously *searching* like everyone says isn't the case - I've tried and nothing has come up working.
I having the same problem also.
But it works when I clear data on calendar.
You may wanna try this, but I stop auto sync first in case anything happened.
Go to Settings>Applications>Manage Application>, press Menu button, select Filter, select All.
After all applications shown, select Calendar and clear data, then Calendar Storage and clear data.
After clearing both data, then launch Calendar. I done these and the calendar can be launched. Then I turn on auto snyc again.
Same calendar problem, unable to fix it until now
I have the same problem.
After upgrading to .435 firmware, all my calendars (5 of them) turn up pink.
I have a smooth calendar widget that shows the correct colors. But somehow the calendar app itself does not read those colors.
I've tried to erase the data from both calendar and calendar storage.
Doesn't work.
I use my phone for business. This app is a must have!
Anybody please?
I've tried the clear data procedure as well, and no luck.
(Turned off auto-sync, forced-closed both, cleared data, rebooted).
I've also tried to replace it with a stock version, I just googled Android 2.1 stock calendar.apk. I know I'm most definitely missing something here, so someone that knows what they're doing fix my mistake. (if its possible)
I tried replacing the CalendarProvider.apk and added Calendar.apk (I also tested renaming Calendar.apk to SemcCalendarLargeui.apk to replace default).
So still looking for a fix to this disaster of a calendar application.
Edit: @Jaydee-S - so if the widget shows the right color, maybe we can isolate the problem to SemcCalendarLargeui.apk, which is just putting Pink for all the calendars and no options to change them. - Devs help us out please
I just downloaded Business Calendar Beta from the market.
Works perfectly and is a good alternative to the SE calendar.
But the questions remain: Why doesn't the SE calendar work and why doesn't everybody experience the same?
Actually that app you posted blows the stock one out of the water in my opinion. Good find.
Now i can delete SemcCalendarLargeui.apk no need to even see it.
omg, I deleted SemcCalendarLargeui.apk by mistake....can someone please upload the apk for me.
Has a solution been found to display the correct calendar colors in the stock calendar app, instead of the default pink that came with upgrading to .435?
Sorry dude, I have the same problem and have searched everywhere, without any luck.
My solution is business calendar app on the 435 rom.
Right now I'm using Trip's MIUI rom: try it out, it is blazing fast and works very well. Use it as my daily rom now. Last but not least: here the calendar works
After installing Honeycomb on my Flyer (Best Buy version), the "Weather Clock" widget can't find my current location. It says "No weather data available". This was not a problem prior to the Honeycomb upgrade. Launching the full screen "Weather" app does the same. I can't add my location explicitly, because only a few of the largest cities in Arizona are in the search list.
Location settings have all the boxes checked. GPS seems to work OK, and the Map and Navigation programs know where I'm at. WiFi seems to work OK for everything. Using Internet, the mobile accuweather site uses my location OK. Internet settings has "Enable location" checked.
Things I've tried: I dragged the Weather Clock widget to "Edit" and selected "Current Location". I deleted the widget and added it again choosing "Current Location". In the application manager, I stopped anything running that appeared to be affiliated with weather and cleared the data. I did a "Restart" (i.e. close all apps and restart tablet).
By the way, my cell phone (HTC Incredible) shows the weather OK, so I know that the weather service does provide content for my location (it's not some weather server problem).
Has anyone else experienced this problem? If so, how do I get the weather widget working again like it was in Gingerbread?
Never seen that reported here as far as I know. my HC widget works fine.
Suggestions:
Go to the settings/applications and clear data and cache for the HTC weather sync app
If you are rooted, get into recovery and clear the Dalvik cache and reboot.
Thanks for your prompt reply.
I did a "Clear Data" on all the running weather related stuff:
HTC weather sync provider
Weather
Weather Agent Service
Weather Provider
Weather Widget
The "Clear cache" button was grayed out on all (and showed 0.00B).
The only result is that the city list was blanked out and I had to re-enter any other cities I chose to have on the watchlist. It still doesn't use my current location.
No, I'm not rooted and I'm enough of a noob to hesitate doing so.
Try clear data on the HTC weather sync app
You could do a full factory data reset in Settings>Privacy. You will lose data so first try reinstalling Honeycomb.
Thanks for the suggestions. Cleared the data on the HTC weather sync app and no better.
I took the hard road of a factory reset. (I first backed up all my downloaded apps to the sd card with Astro, so re-installing them was easy). I was actually surprised that it re-installed Honeycomb (I thought it would go all the way back to the original 2.whatever). So it wasn't too painful.
Weather is now sunny in my location.
Thanks to all.
Hi Everyone,
I got this phone as soon as it was released in New Zealand. The phone is great however I'm finding very high data usage.
Today for example I used over 100mb of data from about 12pm lunchtime. I'm wondering how I can change how often gmail and other applications will because I've gone through the gmail menu but it doesn't specify a time period for sync and I dont want to be using over 100mb per day for data.
On my old Galaxy S I was only using 100mb for the whole month, and I haven't got any extra applications that I know of running for update, just the default weather app, gmail, and my calendar widget.
Any help is appreciated.
Have you checked the built in data monitor
Menu > setting > data
It shows you exactly per app how much data has been used and if this was background (updates) or foreground (when you opened the app).

Go to settings->data usage and see which apps use the most data.
you can also turn off mobile data by pulling down the notification bar at the top of the screen and tapping the mobile data icon on/off
Go to data usage, you'll probable see gallery is the culpritpen it and check the box that limits it to syncing on wi-fi only or it'll sync all your Facebook albums. To stop it doing this completely, remove Facebook for Sync account.
Second, if you don't use google+, uncheck the google photos, google+ etc options under your gmail and that'll get rid of the Picasa gallery too.
Just with regard to the build in data usage monitor how accurate is it?
The reason i ask is because every single app ive ever used has not been accurate, some have been better than others but not one of them has ever been 100% accurate, the best one ive come across and it's free is the one which is part of the superb ZD Box app.

It is very accurate, however it does come with the usual disclaimer saying that networks may monitor and bill differently.
Hi Everyone
I tried to find this with a search but no luck.
I have recently noticed that I seem to be using more data than I normally do. Looking into this I see that exchange services is constently using data. I have about 2MB or more per day just for this. I have my work email setup on this but it is manual sync and I have not sync this for some months now. Does anything else use exchange services? It just seems that I eat up much more data than i ever did before.
Any suggestions? I am thinking about rooting this phone. Would this be of any help to an issue like this?
thx
I use Exchange and have it set to push. I get 50+ emails a day and it uses <100 k per day.

I also use exchange in push mode. I use Moxier Mail as I prefer it over the stock client. I get fewer emails than moorecomp, however like him, I also get negligible data traffic.

Thx for the replies. I know, I have used exchange on this phone for almost a year now with very low data useage. I looked again at my exchange data rate and I have used 120mb in 13 days. I have not received any email through exchange during this time. Something has changed and is just draining data. Could it be some other program that uses exchange for something?
Thx again
Well for now I am just turning my data off unless I need it. This may be OK as it really saves on my battery as well. I downloaded a data switch widget and we will try that for a while.
Does anyone think that rooting and running a rom could help with this problem?
Thx

Go under Settings-> Data Usage and scroll down to Exchange Services and select it. Check to see how your data is consumed, foreground or background. I'm guessing it is mostly background data. So what you can do is click on the check box below to deactivate the background data on this application only. No need to entirely cut off your data. When you want to check your work email, just uncheck the background data to allow the exchange service to kick in and then refresh. Because you are already manually checking your email, this shouldn't affect you much and it will get rid of the data Exchange is eating.
