I have my Gtab connected to the internet wirelessly via Connectify-me to my laptop that is connected using Virgin Broadband2go 3g Unlimited plan, you get throttled to half speed when you reach 2.5GB (this is why I am concerned about my usage).I was checking my usage history and saw that my Upload Mbs were way higher than my Download Mbs! I have not uploaded anything. I know that when I use my desktop at home there is some data uploaded when I first log on but no where this much. Does it have anything to do with Google apps ie; maps latitudes,Gmail, etc. If so can I turn them off or remove temporarily? If anyone has more suggestions, I'm listeng. Thanks
Almost everything you install app-wise communicates home or to an ad-server. Use Droidwall to block apps from using 3g without permission.

This is the best money saving tip I have received in a long time. I wish I knew about this 600Mbs' ago. Thank you very much,

Since almost all traffic over the Internet is asymmetric (more downloads than uploads) in nature, most likely you have uploaded something if the usage is higher. Check if you have,
1. Any peer-to-peer programs like BitTorrent/Gnutella/Tor running. This is the most common reason for upload usage being > download usage.
2. Uploaded lots of videos, photos, files to Youtube/Flickr/Rapidshare/...
3. Unknowingly been hosting a spambot. These will also cause more uploads than downloads.
Thank you

I noticed that was surpassing my data limit this month. I installed 3G watch dog to see if I could find the culprit. Obviously the browser is the main draw, and considering that I've already been spoiled with Flash I have been using it a lot. What I've noticed is that my second highest draw is a list of services, that used 20MB in a day. 3G watchdog groups these all together so I don't know which specific services is using so much data.
Anyone else seen this issue. Any way of seeing the data draw of each specific service?

20mb seems like a lot of data usage without your interaction. Did you install any apps not from the market? ie: sideload from a not so reputable site. Gingerblur the thing and start fresh. Then you can install the apps you want and leave out the ones you don't want.
Anyone have an alternative to Awesome Drop? - i do not want dropbox - i'm looking for a easy way to get small files from my PC to Phone quickly through my wifi. No programs etc. Like awesome drop, it'd be great to have it go from browser, but if not just suggest me some.
awesome drop is not working for me.

Sugar Sync
While this is an app, Sugar Sync is an amazing(and free) app that auto syncs whatever you want, photos, videos, or even certain folders. Look it up, and see if you like it!
minus.com and minus app in market.
Edit: Forgot to add you get up to 50 gig free with minus.

To transfer files between phone and pc on wifi I use Samba fileserver. It just turns your phone's internal SDCard into a network share. Free market app. Configure once. Does one thing and does it well. Presto.
I'll have to give that a try...

zzzap.it
We have released zzzap.it out of private beta a couple of days ago. It's actually quite similar and allows you to send any file from your desktop's web browser to an Android phone. There's an optional Chrome browser plugin that resembles the Chrome-to-Phone functionality as well. No user accounts required. The file size is currently limited to 10 Megabytes.
Would be nice to get some initial feedback in case you want to try it out. Thanks!

Awesome drop doesn't work with ICS so I gave this a try, and it works great! Thanks for the App.

down loaded the app but it says will notify me when ready
so ill let you know
i got it stated, now i remember why i dont like cloud storage. Uploading three roms is a ***** to do, it shoud be ready check of they upgraded you to 10 gig free when you finally get on.
Why?
I like cloud more than those old usb's.
Maybe for Android users Google should give more space than usual but 5gb is enough if integration will be fine...only thing I need is "camera upload" feature from Dropbox and downloading directly from servers to a folder without using my upload speed (it's much faster and urldroplet is the only way for dropbox)...
Google rules.
No ubuntu (or any linux) support yet, so... i'll stick with ubuntu one (the same 5gb free)
CUBBY from logmein looks most promising among these cloud service. Unlimited p2p sharing is a novelty -

I've just got an email, that Google Drive has just been activated for my account! I'm going to explore it now
The desktop Google drive application is a million times better than the Google drive android app.
Currently the Android app is slow to launch and navigate.. This is where the Dropbox app shines..
On the desktop side things are much better and simpler..
I hope we get some serious revision soon for the Android app..

I really like Google Drive, almost as good as dropbox.
I would use it more if it would auto upload pics like dropbox. I'm sure the feature will come though. I love my dropbox, wish it had more space.

This feature is in the google+ app.
I prefer the dropbox app however having everything google based makes things a lot easier.
Actually I've installed it and had a try but feel more confortable using other services. It keeps on force closing when more than two apps are running in background so wiped it out.

a good try
It has a long way to go.
While sync is good, there's no option for Auto-upload a folder's content as in the desktop application.
Most annoying of all, everything you upload from your device is 'Private' and to change it, you need to access drive on your desktop. This fixed and it will be quite bearable.
My wife is using the touchwiz email app with a pop server and ssl enabled. Data usage has been through the roof. Under Settings it shows that she's used 2gig in the last 20 days for email alone.
I called T-Mobile and they tried to convince me this was normal and tried to put me on an unlimited plan. Wouldn't acknowledge that 2gig + per month is excessive for email.
Anyone have any idea what might be going on?

No big attachments. Its been consistently around 100mb give or take 20mb daily. She upgraded from the S3. I still have the phone and saw that she would use 65mb or so a month for email. Email settings on both are the same. Both set to check for email every 30minutes.
I just deleted the account and reinstalled to see if it makes a difference.

Hi, I have an app which looks like the developer has removed their servers so it always fails the "internet connection" check.
Its IONROAD. A AR driving app.
I paid for the PRO version so its all good. I use an older version not the latest as I hate the latest version.
99% of the app is using the GPS or the camera. It does check the internet for the weather and a few little things.
I've tried it at home while connected to wireless, in the car while connected to Mobile Data, I've uninstalled, reinstalled and updated and all versions fail the internet checks. To me it looks like they closed their servers so the app refuses to work without the internet so it will never work again.
What I want to do is remove that internet check so it will keep working without the need for their servers. If it never connects to the internet it doesn't bother me. I dont care for the current weather in a AR driving app, I care for how close the car in front of me is or if i'm drifting out of the lane I'm in. Absolutely nothing to do with the internet so how do I remove that check?
I have the APK, trying to get it into the Android SDK and not sure how? Even if I do get it there what do I remove?
All I want is that internet check removed. As I said I paid for the app so the licence check always passes as I paid for it.
The dev has abandoned the app, they refuse to reply or update. As they closed their servers I'm guessing they totally abandoned the app.
Any help what to remove and how to remove it? Is it an easy unzip, edit a file then zip and reinstall? Or is it a complete import into SDK, rebuild, test, etc and make a whole new app?
I'm not sure what or how to edit it.
Thanks

It is not a simple matter as it would require ripping the app apart and searching through smali code for the server stuff to be removed. As that is what it is doing. It uses their servers to send the weather and a few other things. Now that their servers are off you can bet that it wont be working for long as it will also use other info for things connected to the gps.

The app refuses to work completely. As soon as it loads up it says there is no internet and closes. Thats why I want to remove the need for their servers and internet.
I was hoping there might be some sort of offline mode built in I could enable or remove the "no internet connection" error so it never fails.
Go have a look at the app and you will see you cant do anything as it fails the internet check when the app loads. As they have closed the servers then they have abandoned the app so we can do what we want with it as they obviously dont care about it anymore.
The problem I have is its the best AR driving app there is for android and as they abandoned it there is nothing to replace it with as all the others are crap.
Hi, similar problem to the GoPro app where internet connection is required. I would also really like to remove the internet checking and although the app is free are we getting in to the areas of cracking?
Please update this if you get somewhere.

Just because they abandon it doesn't meant that they might not throw a fit at having it edited. I'll take a look at the decompiled apk. I have a feeling that everything it does will be tied to the servers so even if we did stop it from checking the servers the stuff you want might still not work.

Great thanks.
When the app worked it was mainly GPS and camera stuff, It would get the weather from the server and it does keep a log at the server so it will send a result at the end but while your driving I doubt it does anything with the server as I've been to some places without phone reception and it still worked fine.
Maybe there is only a check when it loads up that we need to remove?

How do I encrypted it again and pack it back into a working APK?

There are tons of tutorials on how to decompile the app. You will need a pc. As for what to look for. That is hit or miss really. As it is in smali and not Java. Also there could be safe guards that if the code is removed then the app won't work. Also some apps can't be decompiler at all as they self destruct if they are.

Anyone having a go at seeing if they can remove the connection to internet requirement?
I want to keep using v1.6.3 but I did find v1.5.1 works with only a random internet check. For my last 10 min drive it checked 3 times but I did do a 15 min drive and it never checked the whole time.
As their servers are down it will always fail if it checks.
If you know where to look you will find all different versions. I wont post where but they are available. 1.6.3 to me is the best, its the most stable, has the best features but its got the internet checks which need to be removed before you can use it as it checks at the start and closes as it cant connect to their servers.

the app always tries to connect to their servers at startup. as they closed the servers it always fails and the app closes.
if you turn mobile data off it also fails and closes the app.
we need to remove the check so the app will work again.
