Since updating to 4.5.91 my data counting app 3g watchdog has been dramatically more inaccurate...could anyone suggest a data counter app that works well with gingerbread? Thanks in advance

I have yet to find a decent application that was able to do the job right. Lately I have been just using the data number to check (*3282#) although it doesn't give me the minute to minute update that I would like it still gives me an idea about what's being used and what I'm going to be charged for. Still a lot of guessing but it's working for now.

I found ZDBox to be quite accurate.

Looks like you need this app if you dial USSD for checking usage:

@OP: I use Traffic Monitor Widget! It's free and gives app-wise usage as well!

I'm using it as my dd. Everything seems OK minus no gps or mms.. But I do have issues sometimes where bluetooth doesn't automatically find my stereo in car it takes a few min to find it.
It's really fast.. Just read the thread there are fixes even tho temporary to the missing calls and text issue and themes.

Would use it except that I can't receive calls when phone sleeps. It is otherwise seriously sweet. Will go back for sure once this is fixed. Great work by andmer.

I have been using it for my DD for a couple days, the OP has all the bugs listed but mine for some reason recieves calls while in sleep and SMS too!... but I also still suffer from all the other listed bugs. I also noted that my vvm wont work..just gets stuck trying to register my device and then says that I have no data connection! Oh well I'm not worried about it, when the devs get it finalized I'm sure it will be fine..they are awesome! Also im using nemsis' kernel and its the first time my phone will run over 1.2ghz...its stable at 1.4ghz! and if it matters...2260 quadrants!
Edit: sorry thought this was in refference to cm7....lol I swear I didn't gloss over the title! Sorry for the clutter

I loved it but I had extremely low in call volume that made it impossible for us to hear eachother while on a call. Never found a fix

MIUI is using CM7(and has the same problems) and MIUIwiz is still on a tw rom so that is a huge difference. Other than that I don't know why your data would do that I haven't used MIUI but I'm on CM7 and it works for me (on verizon)

In the CM7 thread some one listed an app SoftLocker which makes it so your phone doesn't go into deep sleep, more battery drain but calls are nice to get. It's working for me with CM7.
I have soft locker on my phone and not noticing a bad battery drain. Maybe I am lucky or blind lol

enter your phone number on the side and they will send you the store APK, or just to see what's available go to amazon.com under departments choose APPS
I will be doing that shortly. Appreciate it.

JDU is awesome..it's made a huge difference since day 1...I'm still trying to get the best settings without sacrificing connectivity/productivity...and I could probably get close to 20 hours running all the way down to 0% with moderate use.
Are you using the free version of Juice Defender? Or are you using the Ultimate?
Ultimate...some people report oustanding battery life. Like 14 hours of use and sitting at 60%. I dont buy it..unless they post their battery use screens. They are probably not even touching their phone...also they might count 7-8hrs of airplane mode. I just updated to 198_7...i am running typical days use and will post findings!

Nope. But it's a known culprit for being a huge battery waster. I'd say cut your loses and freeze it. There's better alternatives on the market.

Before last year I was an iPhone user, nothing will ever compare to the FB app for the iPhone. And yeah the one for Android is so much fail it's not even funny anymore.
Friendcaster is way better than the fb apps.

Back when I had the captivate, the facebook app crashed incessantly. With the GII, however, I haven't had it crash even once.
I usually remove the one in /system and install it from Market.
The current version is MUCH better than it was in early 2011. I've only had it go nuts on the wakelocks once.

I have been using Friendcaster Pro ever since a couple weeks after buying my Infuse back in June, and will be using it when I get my SGS2 today. Way better app. The last major update even added a dark theme which made me love it even more.
Facebook app always sucked.
Is the only difference between pro and free the ads?

facebook for the sgs2 is one of the better experiences. other phones have more problems than ours. granted i still hate it. it kills the battery, is unreliable with notifications, unintuitive, and just complete and utter crap
How do notifications in friend caster work. please tell me they arent email based.

The facebook app on iphone is a joke. If you try to view a picture from someone 50% of the time it won't load the same picture you clicked on, and when it does load the right one and you comment on it, it leaves the comment on a completely different picture.

You don't need juice defender. It'll have a more negative effect on battery as its just another process running in the background.
I got the same message. There was a beta version of one that didn't have the same message. I ended up not using any of them but I am curious as to why we would get that message.
Anyone with any ideas?

didn't plan on using it to be honest, I just was confused by the message. didn't know a carrier could restrict an app like that (or atleast I think that's what's goin on) and don't really like it.

I got the Plus version and I love it. Used the default settings and get great standby time out of it. Unplugged the phone at 10 this morning, made a couple calls and checked e-mail. Been sitting on the desk about 12 hours and still have 95% battery left.

+1. I love this app. If I leave mobile data running, battery life on this phone sucks. With it I run schedules with mobile data where I can still get emails, and use my phone for more than 6 hrs. Don't know about the installation issues, since I've had it for awhile, just wanted to defend the app for those who feel it's not necessary

I believe they just uploaded v 3 on the market and it may take some time to sort it up.
im not sure who said not to use juice and i really dont care. i have noticed an improvement in my battery life by using it, and i am talking hours. If you shell out the money for the ultimate version you can take control over every power eating aspect of your phone. +1 to the developer

I got twenty satellites per gps status (the app). Never saw anything like it.
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda premium
It's freakishly accurate. I was doing a number 2, playing with my phone with the GPS on. When I opened the map, I had a birds eye view of myself pooping.
insanely accurate and locks in the second i open the app. my galaxy nexus would struggle sometimes to get a lock but this thing is locked before i even open the app lol
Does anybody know if it possible to use this gps kernel on other phones cause my other phones dont have a gps this damn good if so how to I copy the kernel of the gps on here?

I've only messed with it once so far. It was very quick to find my position. I'm looking forward to using it when I go visit family in a week. Since I got about 24 hours drive one way, it will get some good road use.
